Rear-Admiral Erskine retuned to Plymouth on

91, Capt. James E. Katon.3 Ft is; probable she will
join the Channel fleet shortly.
The screw steamship Greyhound, 17, Commander
Sullivan. got up steam MI- Saturday morning, and
havinc, slipped her moorings went outside Plymouth
Sound on trial, and after five hours' cruise returned
to Hamoaze. She was very much by the head, but
appeared to obtain a fair rate of speed.
The Perseverance, iron screw troopship, Com-
mander E. R. Power, steamed into Portsmouth
harbour yesterday morning from Spithead, and
landed her military and naval invalids alongside the
dockyard, the former being taken ch4rge of by the

The ancient piece of ordnance which was disco-
vered in the Medway at Chatham a few days since,
has attracted great interest since it has been de-
posited on the sun-wharf, and careful examinations
of it have been made, in order, if possible, to ascer-
tain its age. From the great number of years the
gun has been in the water, it is eaten away consi-
derably by rust, and the operations of cleansing and
scraping have consequently been performed with
great care. No traces of any date can be discovered
upon it. The general opinion is that the cannon,
which originally weighed about 24 cwt., was laid
down in the river to serve as moorings for one of
the ancient line-of-battle ships belonging to the
fleet kept in the Medway.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieuts. A. C. S. Blackett,
to the Diadem ; Lieut. John Bruce, to the Ganges,
additional for disposal ; Lieut. C. Jenkins and Lieut.
H. B. Hamersley, to the Chesapeake, additional for
disposal; Lieut. A. T. Brooke and Lieut. F. G. D.
Bedford, to the Marlborough, additional for dis-
posal ; Fred. Piper, master, to the Prometheus ;
and Stephen L. Lancaster, clerk, to the Ariadne.
