11IE NAVY.

The Harrier, 17, screw, Commander Sir M. M'Gre-
gor, was paid off alongside Portsmouth Dockyard
yesterday, Capt. Farquhar, of her Majesty's ship
Victory, superintending the paying of the crew. A
medal for long service, with £l6 gratuity, was
panted to Colour-Sergeant James Ashton, R.M.
Charles E. Dean, corporal, R.M.A., received a good
conduct gratuity of £5. John Nicholson, quarter-
master, Joseph Warwell, quartermaster, and James
Hills, ship's corporal, received good conduct gratui-
ties of £7 each. Ninety of the Harrier's crew are
continuous service men.

The following is an extract of a letter from her
Majesty's ship Vixen, dated Callao, July 24 :
" We were much disappointed on our arrival here
at not finding our orders for England, after the
many representations that have been made about
the rotten condition of the ship. When at Puenta
Arenas the Havannah surveyed us, and it was found
that if we did not get a new sponson beam soon it
was very likely that the first gale we met would
carry away the paddleboa and wheel, carrying with
it a portion of the ship's side. The pivot gun was
stowed below to prevent, if possible, the stern fall-
ing out. The ship's side being much worm-eaten, it
was recommended that she should be coppered one
sheet higher up, to prevent, if possible, the worms'
further ravages. As these repairs could not be made
good in Central America, we have come down hers
and have again been surveyed by the Amethyst.
They have found the ship in rather worse condition
than the Havannah's survey did. Another beam was
found gone, and they have fished it by bolting a new
beam of tke size alongside of it. Iron bands are being
placed on each quarter, and six iron knees fastened
to stern and deck, to prevent the stern falling out.
The ship is now careened to put in the plank at
the water's edge. We yesterday. found timbers on
the port side, just under the bearing of the paddle
shaft, quite rotten ; this cannot be properly re-
paired out here, as there is no dock, and this last
defect is below the water line. _ _

" Since writing the above we have had another
survey on the ship. The surveyors were Captain,
Grenfell, Commander Lambert, the Master com-
manding the Naiad, the Master of the Amethyst,
Lieut. Davies, of the Amethyst, tend two carpen-
ters. They have condemned the ship, and have re-
commended that she should be immediately sent
home, keeping the eoast on board as far as pos-
sible, so as to be able to run her ashore if it be
found necessary. Is not this a pretty state of
things ? We are all buying life-belts, but you must
not be surprised if you never see us, but, instead,
some morning read some comments in the columns
of The Sun on the missing Vixen and the supposed
fate of her officers and crew. Alert has left Central
America for Valparaiso. Havannah has sailed for
England. We have the French Admiral here with
his flag on board the Andromede. The American
frigates Merrimac and Saranac are both here, the
former carrying the commanding officer's flag."
Yesterday intelligence was received at the Admi-
ralty that her Majesty's ship Gorgon, bound from
Plymouth for Halifax, Nova Scotia, had put into
Queenstown, having encountered a severe gale,
which carried away her foretopmast. Three of the
crew were also lost.

The Dauntless, 31, screw, Capt. L. Heath, C. 8.,
sailed from Spithead on Tuesday evening for her
station in Southampton-water.

The screw steamship Windsor Castle, 116, was
taken out of Keyham basin on Tuesday and warped
to her moorings, preparatory to a trial of her ma-
chinery.
The screw steam-frigate Mersey, 40, Capt. Henry
Caldwell, C. 8., which was off Plymouth on Monday,
approached sufficiently near to salute the Port-Ad-
miral, and then proceeded on her cruise.
The Alarm, 26, Capt. Douglas Curry, is appointed
to be put out of commission at Devonport to-morrow
(Friday).
The screw steam-sloop Greyhound, 17, having been
coppered, was undocked at Keyham on Monday.
The screw steam-frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. Wm.
Moorsom, got up steam on Tuesday in Plymouth
Sound, and was conducted by Mr. Thompson,
Queen's harbour-master, into Hamoaze. She is to
be docked immediately, and have her bottom over-
hauled and cleaned.

Steam was got up on Tuesday on board the St.
George, 91, and she left Hamoaze, in charge of
Capt. Robinson, for the purpose of testing her speed,
but the weather was so boisterons that it became
necessary to close the lower ports, and she could not
be tried at the measured mile.

The new screw steamship Clio, 21 guns and 400
horse power (nominal), left Sheerness yesterday on
a trial trip of her machinery.
The screw steamship Amphion, now at Sheerness,
has been sent out on a trial trip, during which,
from the defective state of her sternpost and after
body, the leaks were so bad that the after bread-
room had to be•cleared to prevent her bread stores
being damaged by salt water. Previously to
her leaving the harbour her mainmast was
being stayed up, when the purchase fall was belayed
to one of the bulk-head timbers. A serious acci-
dent was nearly occurring by the bulk-head timber
breaking off short. It was then found that the
timber and all the frame by which the fore rigging
was secured were perfectly decayed by dry rot.
Great discontent is manifested by her crew, who
say they are to be sent to sea in their coffin, and
they only want a chance to get the " R" put against
their names. They like their captain and officer;
but they will not go to sea in a leaky ship.
The Queen, screw steamship, 86 guns, of 500-
horse power (nominal), left Sheerness on the 6th
inst. on the contractor's trial of her engines. Her
draught of water was 22 feet forward, and 23 feet
7 inches aft ; the mean revolutions were 64 ; mean
speed, 10 knots six-tenths. Wind S.S.W., in force
6, with a disturbed sea. The vacuum was 25 inches,
pressure of steam per square inch 201 b., which was
well maintained. Her engines were made by
Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and worked without a
fault.
The Russian frigate General-Admiral, Captain
Schestakoff, having on board his Imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and his
suite, left the Motherbank yesterday at 7 a.m. under
steam for Cronstadt. His Imperial Highness em-
barked on board the General-Admiral from the
Pier Hotel, Ryde, the previous evening.
James Dunn, stoker of the screw steam-sloop
Pioneer, who was severely scalded when the steam
pipe burst on board, in Plymouth Sound, on the
30th ult., died at the Royal Naval Hospital on
Sunday. At the inquest on Tuesday the verdict
returned was—" That the deceased came by his
death from injuries received during the late explo-
sion on board the Pioneer." Full particulars of
this accident we published on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
For some time past frequent complaints have been
made to the authorities connected with the convict
establishment at Chatham of the practice in the
dockyard, where several hundred convicts are daily
employed, of the workmen supplying the convicts
with articles of a forbidden nature, in defiance of the
rules against such a practice. Notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts have been resorted to to de-
tect the guilty parties, the secrecy with which the
system has been carried on has hitherto baffled all
these efforts. Yesterday morning, however, shortly
after the men had entered the dockyard for their
daily work, a labourer, named George Johnson, was
detected by a warder in the very act of giving some
tobacco to a man named William Lemon Oliver,
who, it will be remembered, was formerly a stock-
broker in the city of London, but was tried and
sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude for forgery and
misappropriation of certain shares. Johnson, who
has fora long time been suspected, was immediately
taken before the magistrates at Rochester, when,
the charge having been fully proved against him,
he was fined the sum of £3, and in default one
month's imprisonment ; in addition to whieh he
loses his situation in the dockyard, which he has
held for several years.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty
W. F. Harvey, midship-
man. to the Edgar ; C. N. Hoare, midshipman, to
the Trafalgar; B. G. De Landre, acting assistant-
surgeon, to the Diadem ; Dr. D. A. MoxeV, assis-
tant-surgeon, to the Victory ; and James SPlnnes,
assistant-surgeon, to the Impregnable.
