The partially ironcased corvette Favorite, 10guns,
400 horse power, Capt. F. H. Shortt, remains at
Spithead, completing the " sighting" of her guns
and other slight additions to her equipments previ-
ous to leaving England for the Pacific. She is or-
dered to be made complete in all respects, and re-
ported ready for sea by the 16th inst. She has,
however, a leak in her bows, the position and extent
of which has been somewhat variously estimated,
and to enable Capt. Shortt to ascertain its exact
nature, the Favorite will cruise between the Isle of
Wight and the Start for about three days after
sailing from Spithead, calling in finally at Plymouth
Sound, and reporting thence to the Admiralty.
The Pallas, perfectly ironcased corvette, 2,372
tons, 600 horse power, Capt. M. Connolly, which
arrived at Spithead on Sunday from the eastward,
will make her official trial of speed, at deep-load
draught, over the measured mile in Stokes Bay at
the end of the present week. The usual contractor's
trial of the ship's machinery under steam will pre-
cede the official speed trial. The Pallas will be the
first instance of a vessel designed by the presentchief
constructor of the navy being subjected at deep-load
draught to the test of the Stokes Bay mile course.
The unarmoured screw frigate Liverpool, 35, Capt.
John Seccoinbe, is ordered to have the defect in her
screw shafting, together with other defects, com-
pleted at once in a manner that will allow of her
resuming service as early as possible.
The iron screw storeship Industry, Staff Com-
mander, E. Youel, arrived at Spithead yesterday
from the Mediterranean, with a cargo of returned
stores and naval supernumerary seamen and marines
from her Majesty's ships on the station. The super-
numeraries were transferred from the Industry, at
Spithead, to the Victory flagship, in Portsmouth
harbour, and the naval hospital at Haslar. The In-
dustry afterwards sailed from Spithead for Woolwich.

The United States steamer of war Canandaigua,
1,400 tons, 9 guns, Capt. R. Stembel, arrived in the
Southampton-water yesterday morning, and salutes
were exchanged between her and her Majesty's ship
Irresistible. The Canandaigua is attached to the
United States European squadron, under command
of Admiral Goldsborough.
Capt. Whinyates' battery A, of the Bth Brigade,
Royal Artillery, marched off yesterday morning at
8 30 from head-quarters, Woolwich, for Shorncliffe
camp. They were accompanied out of garrison and
for some considerable distance on the march by a
large number of officers, and were escorted by the
mounted band of theßoyal horse Artillery. After

mandant, accompanied by Col. Anderson, C. 8.,

THE CROPS IN NORFOLK.—The young wheats are
looking exceedingly well in Norfolk, being distinguished by
a vigorous and healthy growth. Barley, beans, and peas
are rather backward, but Spring til 3.e has been prosecuted
under favourable conditions.

Amongst deaths recorded during the Week is that
of Robert Buchanan, one of the oldest journalists of the
day, who was formerly editor of the Glasgow Sentinel. His
son is the poet and author of " Undertones."
