Tha ship 13elleisle. G, Comma'ader H. M. Bing-
harri, from Hong Kong, March 16, and the Cape of
Good Hope,-May 12, arrived in Plymouth Sound
on Tuesday morning, as reported in The Sun of
yesterday. She was commissioned at Plymouth
March 20, ••1857, and during the. hostilities was
employed as a hospital on the coast of China.. The
Belleisle brings 10 naval and.military invalids, and
the following officers :—Mr. F. G. Pearce, Paymas-
ter, late of the Cambrian, 40, invalided ; Mr. G. H.
A. Cox, midshipman, of the Cruiser, 177-Mr. E.
Gozzard, Assistant-Surgeon, gunboat Staunch ; and
Mr. Mr. Benjamin Bradshaw, late of the screw
steamship Ad -enture. One officer, nine seamen,
and 11 invalids died on the passage home from
Hong Kong. She has. brought from Carton and
Hong Kong 12 metal cannons weighing from 3 to
41 tons each. Spoke June 2, in lat. 5.1 N., long.
21.42 W., the emigrant ship Shah Jehan, for Algoa
Bay; and June 3, in lat. 6.42. N., long. 21.47 W.,
the barque Anna Anderson, bound to Kurrachee.
The Belleisle will probably be paid off at Chatham.
The sailing ship Vanguard, 84; has been:placed
in the basin of the dockyard at Devonport to re-
ceive anchors and the necessary gear, preparatory
to her being towed to Sheerness, where she will be
converted into a screw, and the frigate Octavia, 50,
will be towed to Portsmouth for the same purpose.
Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pashley, Admiral
Superintendent of the Dockyard, struck his flag at
Devonport on Monday evening for an absence of
four days.
The gunboat
,Snap is ordered to be repaired at
Devonport and placed in the steam Ordinary in lien
of the Jackdaw, which has been put in commission.
During the late hot weather tents have been
pitched in the grounds of the Royal Military Hos-
pital at Plymouth for the use of the patients.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Gladiator, 6, Com-
mander Hickley, was placed alongside the coal
depot in Hamoaze on Monday.
The newly-raised stokers a Plymouth have been
sent outside the breakwater in a gunboat for exer-
cise.

The screw steam line-of-battle ship Trafalgar
left Sheerness Harbour on Tuesday at 9.30 a.m., on
a final trial of her machinery, and the Admiralty
authorities expressed themselves entirely satisfied
with the results of the trial.
By an Admiralty order, a number of engineers,
boiler-makers, &c., now engaged in the factory at
Sheerness, under Arr. George Blaxland, are 'work-
ing from five a.m. to 10 p.m. to complete certain
works urgently wanted for the various ships com-
missioned, and ordered to be got ready to be COIII-
- at that port.
Rear-Admiral of the Blue John Elphinstone.
Erskine hoisted his flag on board the screw line-of-
battle ship Edgar at Sheerness, yesterday, at 2.10
p.m., which was saluted in the usual form, and the
salute returned by the flagship of the Commander-
in-Chief Vice-Admiral of the Red Edward Harvey.
The hired.transport Clara, has arrived at Wool-
wich pier, and has commenced shipping shot and •
other heavy stores.. The War Department have also.
taken up the following ships for the transport of
stores from Woolwich Arsenal—viz., the Amelia,.
the.Eurydiee, the Skipworth, the Vigilant and the
Daniel Jeffries.

On account of the 'extremely low rate of wages
paid to the dockyard labourers at Woolwich (re-
cently reduced to 12s. 6d. per week, all but the
most necessitoLs refuse to enter the dockyard em-
ploy in that capacity. A notice has been affixed
at the principal entrance, signifying that la-
bourers, caulkers, and sawyers were required,
stating the numbers, and, although the notice
has been daily hung up during the past month,
the numbers required are not yet engaged.
The same class of men employed in the Arsenal
are in receipt of 145., 16s. 4d., and 18s. per week,
and some of the laboratory labourers are earning
as high as 215., and are engaged, as in the dock-
yard, 56 hours per week. Another objection to the
dockyard employ and preference to the Arsenal
work, arises from the privilege of the half-holiday
on Saturday, accorded by the War Department
only.

day at the Admiralty :—J. E. Chapple, master to
the Simciom ; It. W. Brigstock, Acting Assist.-

shipwright at Woolwich, to succeed Mr. Rice,
superannuated,
