of all ranks.

abort 600 rankand file, were yesterday morning inspected

sent undecided.

The Royal Ordnance sloops Lord Raglan, Alma, and
Lord Vernon, are being laden with 68-pounder guns,
carriages, shot, and other war materials from the Mili-
tary Store Department of Wool wich Arsenal for the
Channel Islands. The freight ship Earl of Eglinton,
in the London docks, is shipping guns and war stores
from Woolwich Arsenal for Hong Kong. The Armyn-
tus is embarking a similar cargo for Corfu ; the Scotia,
for Halifax ; and the Pearl, for Quebec and Mootreal.
The new forge at Pembroke dockyard is to be immedi-
ately carried on, the necessary excavations having been
made, and, as this building is much needed, the contrac-
tor will push it forward with all despatch. The masonry
portion of the new building slip, No. 12, has just been
completed in a very satisfactory !banner. The contract
for the roof over this slip has been taken, and is imme-
diately to be proceeded with. Several new works have
yet to be tendered for. Orders have been received by
the authorities to discharge immediately all the hired
men on the establishment. These are principally la-
bourers and a few joiners. The contractors have dis-
charged a number. of masons and their labourers, so that
the establishment is gradually being reduced to a much
lower scale.
