THE NAVY.

Preparations are being commenced at Chatham
Dockyard for the launch of the line-of-battle screw
steamship Hood, 91 guns, which is ordered to take
place on the 4th of May. The Hood will after-
wards be taken to Sheerness to be fitted with
engines of 600-horse power. The next vessel to be
launched at Chatham is the screw corvette
Charybdis, 21 guns, which will take place early in
June.

The Doris, screw steam frigate, Capt. E. Heath-
cote, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday evening
from the westward. She is to make a series of
trials of Griffiths's screw at various pitches, and
also of the common screw considerably modified and
altered in various ways.
The Cheerful, 2, screw steam gunboat, was hauled
up some short time since on the gunboat slipway
at Haslar to have her boilers lifted and replaced on
cast-iron sleepers (in the same manner as all the
gunboats are fitted that are now in the sheds at Has-
lar). This being completed, she was yesterday,
under the superintendence of Captain Gordon, com-
manding steam reserve, and Mr. G. Murdoch, in-
spector of machinery afloat, launched off the slipway
with her steam up, and immediately she reached
the water she steamed away to her harbour moor-
ings. All the gunboats lying up the harbour are
ordered to have their boilers lifted and fitted with
cast-iron sleepers on this plan.
