Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Danae, 4, screw sloop, 1,268 tons, 350 horse
power, engines by Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, build-
ing at Portsmouth dockyard, will be launched on
the 21st inst. She is of the improved Amazon class,
designed by Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor
of the Navy, and promises, from the appearance of
her lines, to be the fastest vessel under steam yet
sent afloat from his designs, speaking comparatively
with regard to tonnage and engine power.

The Warrior, armoured iron frigate, 6,109 tons,
1,250 horse power, is ordered by the Controller of
the Navy to be completed at Portsmouth dockyard,
and made ready to receive her crew on commission
by the 17th inst. This frigate has now been so long
in hand by the shipwright department of the yard
that it was reasonably expected she would be ready
to receive her crew and hoist her commission pen-
nant on any day after the 9th ult., the date fixed
on originally for the completion of her refit. She
has been so trifled with, however, from some cause
or other, that now her services are required a consi-
derable amount of work remains yet unfinished.
The result is that while the Controller himself
must be somewhat astonished at such a state of
things, his subordinates at Portsmouth are equally
astonished at being called upon to finish work at a
short notice which they have been treating as likely
to last for a considerable time. All the available re-
sourc a of the shipwright department of the yard
are now placed upon the frigate to complete her
with all haste, but it will be almost impossible to do
this by the 17th inst. The present system of super-
vision of work of this kind in her Majesty's yards
is, to say the least, most inadequate.
An Admiralty order was received at Chatham
yesterday announcing that volunteer A.B.'s, ordi-
nary seamen, cooks, and other seamen and petty
officers are required for the new Indian transports
just completed, and nearly ready to ti© commissioned
for the India transport service. The Malabar, 4,173
tons, 700 horse power, jast completed at the yard
of Messrs. Napier and Sons, Glasgow, is the most
forward of the fleet of transports, and will be the
first commissioned, the volunteers being required
for this vessel. In addition to the Euphrates, the
Jumna, the Crocodile, and the Serapis, each of
4,173 tons, and 700 horse power (nominal), which,
with the Malabar, will comprise the fleet of Indian
transports, the Government has given instructions
for the immediate construction, at the yard of
Messrs. Napier and Sons, Glasgow, of two smaller
iron steamers, to be named the Prompt and Hasty,
together with eight iron troop barges, to be used in
transporting the soldiers to and from the steamers.
One of the steamers and four of the troop barges
are to be employed on each side of the Isthmus of
Suez, in conjunction with the steam transports run-
ning between Southampton and Alexandria, and
Suez and the Indian ports.
Yesterd,4 Major-Gen. Freeman Murray resumed
and brought to a close his first inspection of the 2d
battalion of Infantry at Chatham garrison, taking
it up at the point finished on the previous day. At
9.30 a.m. the whole of the officers and men of the
general parade ground, when Gen. Murray inspected
the new clothing, asms, and accoutrements of the
non-commissioned officers and men, in which duty,
from the large number of men composing the bat-
talion, he was engaged for some time. The remain-
ing portion of the day was occupied in the inspec-
tion of the barrack rooms, officers' and men's quar-
ters, schools, hospital, and the quarters recently
erected for and now occupied by the married non-
commissioned officers and men of the several corps
attached to the 2d Battalion. The inspection of the
books, accounts, and official documents of each corps,
and of the depot battalion, followed, and at its
termination Gen. Murray expressed to Col. Rick-
man his satisfaction at the highly-efficient state in
which he found the battalion under his command,
as well as at the manner in which the officers and
men had acquitted themselves.
An order was yesterday received at Chatham from
the Horse Guards directing the depot companies of

THE LATE LORD LLANOVER.—The following ad-
dress, illuminated in black and silver, and sent to Lady
Llanover, testifies the feelings of the vestry of St. Marylo-
bone, on hearing of the death of Lord Llanover :—" At
the Vestry, St. Marylebone, May 2, R. Kynaston, Esq., in
the chair.—Resolved, That this vestry, having heard of
the lamented death of the Right Hon. Lord Llanover, is
desirous of placing upon record the expressions of its heart-
felt regret at this sad event, and of offering to Lady Llan-
over, his bereaved widow, its respectful sympathy and
condolence. The promptings to this act are, first, a grate-
ful recollection of the services rendered specially to the
borough of Marylebone by the deceased nobleman as one
of its Parliamentary representatives; and, secondly, a cor-
dial recognition of his public services generally. During
the 22 years he represented Marylobone in the House of
Commons as Sir Benjamin Hall, he was over most vigilant
and earnest in all that concerned the welfare of his consti-
tuents. On all legislative questions affecting their local
interests he brought to bear the ready application of his
large experience, sound judgment, and eminently practical
mind, and was ever ready by his vote and influence to up-
hold local rights and privileges. Among the most agree-
able reminiscences of his connexion with Marylebone, his
urbanity, courtesy, and habitual kinduess of m inner will
be long cherished. Of his public services generally the
passing of the Metropolis Local Management Act testifies
to the sincrity
of his professions as a friend of local self-
government, while the great improvements carried out by
him in the public parks of the metropolis, when holding
the office of Chief Commissioner of Works, show the warm
interest he felt in all that concerns the health, comfort,
and social enjoyment of the people. For these acts alone
he is entitled to the gratitude of posterity."
CONSEQUENCES OFiNEGLECT.—There is, perhaps, no part
of the body that ought to be mere interesting to us than the
tceth, and yet there is also none which is more generally
neglected. Were a little ordinary attention devoted to these
organs, we should no longer find toothache and other dis-
eases of the mouth so prevalent; nor would our s nses
be affected by offensive breath, and simi'ar disagreeable con-
comitants. Art, however, is here ne assay to ,ssist nature ;
and in such oases it is that a preparat.on like Row-
Odonto becomes peculiarly advantageous as an halal-
preservative of those indisp?nsible attributes of beauty,
the teeth and gums, in balmy tragrAnee, freshness, sad
ttauty.
