THE NA VY.

The Duke of Somerset and the Lords of the Ad-
miralty are expected to leave town this morning on
an official visit of inspection to Chatham and Sheer-
ness.
The senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty, Vice
Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard Saunders Dundas,
K.C.8., will take command of the Mediterranean
fleet on the 'retirement of Vice Admiral Arthur
Fanshawe, C. 8., who will be installed into the office
vacated by Sir Richard S. Dundas.
The Dee paddle steamer arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday from the westward.
The Asia, guardship of steam reserve at Ports-
mouth, was yesterday inspected by Captain G. T.
Gordon, and her crew paid composition money.
The Himalaya screw troopship, Commander J
Seccombe, at Portsmouth, has received orders to
embark 50 tons of provisions, from the Royal Cla-
'trice Yard, for conveyance to Halifax, for the use
of the fleet of the station. She will also take out
a number of first and second class boys to be placed
at the disposal of the Admiral commanding on the
station. From Halifax the Himalaya will proceed
to Quebec, where she will embark a regiment of
infantry for conveyance to Bermuda, whence she
returns with troops to England. Her date of sail-
ing is not yet fixed.
The royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert,
Capt. the Hon. Joseph Denman, steamed out of
Portsmouth harboar, for her moorings, off Cowes,
yesterday.
Capt. Schestakoff, commanding the Russian fri-
gate General Admiral, was introduced to the mili-
tary and naval authorities at Portsmouth by Mr.
VicstiConsul G, Baker.

The Russian double-banked clipper frigate, built
in America, General Admiral, Captain Schistakoff,
arrived on Sunday evening at the Motherbank, Isle
of Wight, joining the Svetland and Baihan, at that
anchorage. The General Admiral is a war frigate
of enormous tonnage and power. She mounts 62
eight-inch guns, is equal to 13 average knots an
hour, and represents 6000 tons. The General Ad-
miral is built on the same principle as the Ameri-
can steam frigate Niagara, and does not bear much
resemblance to a man-of-war, having somewhat of
the appearance of a very large clipper. She is
said to be longer than the Duke of Wellington, 131,
although constrncted to carry only 62 guns. Soon
after eight o'clock yesterday morning she saluted
the garrison and flagship, which compliment was
immediately returned from the shore battery and
her Majesty's ship Victory. The Russian officers
accepted the invitation of the port admiral, Wil-
liam Bowles, C. 8., to dine at the official residence,
in the dockyard, last evening.
A series of experimental trials have been car-
ried on during the past fortnight at Portsmouth,
with a view of ascertaining the amount of re-
sistance offered by iron and steel plates of various
manufactures whet opposed to heavy ordnance
at a short range. The trials are understood to
have reference to the future coating of the steam
ram now in progress of construction. The practice
has been carried on from the stork gunboat, tender
to her Majesty's ship Excellent, gunnery ship in
Portsmouth harbour, both from a 32-pounder and a
95 cwt. gun, the latter throwing a solid 681 b. shat,
with 161 b. charge of powder; the distance of range
200 yards. At this distance the results of the ex-
periments have demonstrated in the clearest pos-
sible manner that no iron or steel plate that has yet
been manufactured can withstand the solid shot
from the 95 cwt. gun at a short range. The first
shot would not penetrate through the iron plate,
but it wouid fracture it, and on three or four strik-
ing the plate in the same place, or in the imme-
diate neighbourhood, it would be smashed to pieces.
As the results of the trial affected the steel plates it
proved that a steel-clothed ship could be far more
easily destroyed than a wooden-sided one, and that
on the smashing in of the steel plates the destruc-
tion of life on the armed ship's decks, supposing the
broken plate to be driven through the ship's side,
would be something dreadful to contemplate, from
the spread of the splintered material. At from 600
to 800 yards iron-clothed ships would be a compa-
rative safety from the effects of an enemy's broad-
side, but it must be borne in mind that the effects
of concentrated firing have yet to be ascertained on
the sides of an iron or steel-clothed ship, and ac-
count also must be taken of the damage the wood-
work forming the inner sides of such a ship would
receive from the driving in of the broken plates,
and which, as far as the present experiments have
illustrated, would appear to prove than an iron or
steel-crab ship, on receiving a concentrated broad-
side from a frigate, armed in a similar manner to the
Mersey, and struck near her waterline, must sink
then and there, with her armour on her back.

Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat
at Portsmouth Dockyard, has just returned to his
duties from Glasgow, Greenoek, and Dumbarton,
where he has been engaged entering third-class
acting assistant engineers for the Royal Navy. Mr.
Murdoch has succeeded in entering nearly 100
young men, all of whom are highly recommended
to the Admiralty by their late employcis as first-
class workmen, and the whole of them having
served their apprenticeships in one of the large
marine establishments of those ports. A great
scarcity of the above class of engineers has existed
for some time in the Royal Navy.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. J. H. Grubbe,
Lieut. R. B. Cay, Lieut. A. C. Adams, and Lieut.
S. Metcalfe, to the Arrogant ; Lieut. G. M. Smith,
Lieut. C. T. Williamson, and Lieut. A. T. Denham,
to the Dauntless ; Lieut. George Rivington to the
Clio ; and Mr. William Bell, Acting Mate, to the
