THE RAVI.

"On ' Saturday morning the Black Eagle conveyed
the Lc of the Admiralty alongside the Warrior
at Gr eenhithe, while the Vivid performed the same
service for Sir F. Nicolson, the Commodore-Superin-
tendent, and other officers of Woolwich dockyard.
It was stated at Woolwich that after inspecting the
progress of the works on board their Lordship's had
judged it prudent to prolong the stay of the War-
rior at Greenhithe to about the 20th of September,
in order to complete the caulking and other works
in the interior of the ship before her departure for
Portsmouth, formerly arranged for Thursday next.
The Italian frigate Eurydice (naval cadet train-
ing ship), Capt. Riboty, is appointed to leave Spit-
head for Genoa, caning at Cherbourg and Brest, on
Friday next. During the frigate's stay at Spithead,
Capt. Riboty with his officers and cadets, accom-
panied by the Chevalier Pappalardo, Italian consul
at Portsmouth, has visited the Dockyard, Royal
Clarence Victualling-yard, and other public estab-
lishments at the port. On Saturday Capt. Riboty
and the superior officers of the frigate were enter-
tained at the Italian Consulate, and yesterday
Chevalier Pappalardo was officially entertained on
beard the Eurydice, receiving the usual honorary '
salute from the frigate's guns on leaving the ship
at the conclusion of his visit. While the naval
cadet training ship of the Italian navy is thus
cruising in foreign waters for the education and
sea •training of the youthful Italian aspirants for
naval honours, the English training frigate appor-
tioned for the same purpose—also by a curious
coincidence named the Eurydice—is lying half
fitted and out of commission in Portsmouth harbour.

A letter received from her Majesty's ship Hanni-
bal states that Admiral Mundy is slowly recovering
from his late severe illness. Mr. W. S. Harvey,
Naval Instructor on board the same ship, had been
invalided. On leaving the ship the young officers
on board manned the gig and pulled their tutor on
board the Renown, as a mark of personal esteem.
The cutter Mercury, from the Channel Islands,
being defective, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday
evening for repairs. She is to be superseded in her
duty of protecting the fisheries by the gunboat
Speedy, now at Devonport.
The screw steamsloop Pantaloon, 11, was com-
missioned on Saturday at Plymouth, Mr. G. Dominy,
master.

The new iron-clad war steamer, the Defence, built
by Messrs. Palmer Brothers, of Jarrow, will leave
the Tyne under steam on Sept. 5 for Chatham. her
engines have been fitted up on board the vessel in
the Tyne, by Messrs. Penn and Co., of Greenwich.
She will be masted at Chatham, and will have her
armament put aboard there.
Under the new regulations recently issued by the
Admiralty, for the future apprentices at the Royal
dockyards to serve the last two years of their ap-
prenticeship at sea, notice was issued at Chatham
Dockard on Saturday, intimating that the appren-
tices now in the service will be allowed to avail
themselves of the regulation should they feel dis-
posed to do so. During the time the apprentices
are serving afloat they will receive their dockyard
pay, with an additional day's pay per week for
Sundays, and will be victualled on board and receive
tool money.
