TILE NAY X.

The Rinaldo, 17, screw, ;Commander W. N. W.
Hewett, V.C., sailed from Spithead on Saturday
morning to join the squadron under the command
of Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., on
the North America and West India station.'

The Wye, screw steam storeship, Master-Com-
mander Roberts, sailed from Spithead on Saturday
for Sierra Leone, to relieve the Buffalo, screw steam
storeship, on the West ;Coast of Africa station,
ordered to England to pay of;
The Glasgow and the Sutlej, frigates, were re-
moved on Saturday from the steam-basin at Ports-
mouth dockyard, and placed at moorings in the
harbour, preparatory to the basin being excavated
to a greater depth. The construction of the North
Inlet of this basin will shortly be resumed, and if
carried out as at present intended will be but a re-
petition of the blunder committed in the construc-
tion of No. 8, or the South Inlet Dock, of the same
basin, which was built at great cost, and owing to
the shallowness of water over its invert will only
admit vessels of small draught. The entrance of the
North Inlet Dock, with about 60 feet of its floor-
ing, was constructed, with the steam basin, some
13 years since at a cost of £5,000. The further esti-
mate for completing the work, leaving the entrance
in its present shallow, and therefore useless form,
is £72,161. What Portsmouth dockyard requires
is docks of sufficient size to receive ships of the
Warrior class, with their guns, stores, and crews
on board. At this time Portsmouth dockyard pos-
sesses but one dock of this kind.

Letters received from Rio de Janeiro, dated May
the Bth, state that Lieut. Paul, of her Majesty's
ship Curlew, had been tried by Court-martial for
cruelty towards the engineers on board, for refus-
ing the surgeon of the ship a boat to carry him
ashore at Monte Video to visit a midshipman in
hospital, and for various acts of disrespect and dis-
obedience. The Court sentenced him to be dis-
missed the Curlew, and to be placed at the bottom
of the Lieutenants' list.

The Defence, 24, mail-clad iron steamer, is to be
supplied with iron lower masts and bowsprit; the
rest of her masts and gear, which will be similar to
those supplied to the Warrior, 40, will be furnished
her from Chatham Dockyard. Orders have also
been received at Chatham, directing six Armstrong
guns to be put on board, viz.—four 40-pounders,
one 25-pounder, and one 12-pounder.
The Lords of the Admiralty have given directions
for the first of the fleet of wooden iron-cased steam
frigates, which they have decided on having built,
to be commenced at Chatham Dockyard, where the
Royal Oak, the pioneer of this new class of vessel,
has been laid down under No. 7 shed.

The starboard division of the Channel squadron
is said to have gone north to Glasgow. Their ulti-
mate head-quarters will be Belfast, the first place of
rendezvous being the Downs. _ _ _
