his life. Jordan's temple is bruised and his hand
rcrushed. Ap,inquest on Barrett was commenced
at Devonport on Saturday, but was adjourned until
the 7th of October, -by which time it is expected
that,lordan will be sufficientfy recovered to appear
before the jury. •
Her Majesty's ship Firebrand, 6, paddlewheel
steamsloop, 400-horse power, Commander J. M.
Bruce, which arrived at Sheerness a few days ago
from the North American and West Indian
Station, to paid off owing to the ravages of the
yellow fever, has since been ordered to Woolwich to
be refitted for further service.
The new Greek steam frigate of war, the Amalie,
which arrived at Sheerness on the 19th inst. from
the Thames, has since been out on trial of her en-
gines, and is now anchored at Black Stakes, await-
ing further orders.

The Leander screw steam frigate, 400-horse power,
got up steam yesterday at Sheerness, after being sub-
jected to water-pressure for the purpose of trying
theeffects of the new patent expansion gear of Messrs.
Bolton and Watts. The trial was eminently success-
ful.
By direction ,of the Admiralty the following Go-
vernment vessels are to be sold by tender :—At
Woolwich, the Messenger, 733 tons; at Portsmouth,
the Carysfort, 925 tons ; at Deptford, the Crocodile,
501 tons ; at Sheerness, the Espiegle, 443 tons; the
Waterwitch, 324 tons ; and the Gossamer, 48 tons.
At Devonport, the Merlin, 889 tone. ' ;

Arrangements are now being made at the Thames
Iron Shipbuilding Works, Blackwall, for the imme-
diate construction of a new iron•cased screw fri-
gate for the Admiralty of 6,815 tons, the cost of
which will amount to about half a million.

A number of shipwrights and labourers were on
Saturday employed in altering the blocks in No. 3
dock at Chatham, in which the iron screw steamer
Defence, 22, is to be placed, and reducing them seve-
ral inches, in order to give that vessel a greater
depth of water on the occasion of her being docked,
The sill of the docks where the old gates formerly
stood has been cut away level with the flooring to
give a clearer space under the vessel's stern. The
utmost care will be required in docking the Defence,
as, although No. 3 dock is sufficiently long to take
her in, the great breadth of beam of the frigate will
leave only a very small space between the sides of

the dock and the iron ship. The alterations required
to be effected in the dock will prevent her being
admitted into it during the present high tides ;
and, indeed, it is now understood that she will be
masted in the river before being docked. This will
necessitate a farther delay, as, although her top-
masts, yards, and other gear have been for some
time at Chatham, her iron lower masts have not
yet arrived from the Thames Iron Company, at
whose works they are being constructed. Notwith-
standing the delay which has arisen in docking the
Defence, the work of completing her is being rapidly
proceeded with afloat, a body of 100 mechanics being
engaged night and day, with only wry short inter-
vals, in getting her ready for sea.
The _Derry Standard says it is impoasiblc to speak
in terms of overstrained compliment of the cour-
tesy, urbanity, and kindness of the Admirals and
officers of the Channel fleet during their stay in
Lough Foyle to the crowd of visitors of all ranks
who during four or five days thronged the ships
incessantly from early morning till a late hour at
night. It sees much utility in periodical visits of
the fleet to the Irish ports, as such a gigantic exhi-

bition of British power would awe the disaffected,
stimulate the courage of the loyal, and make the
tax-paying public feel that they get substantial

value for their money.

augmented to 100 non-commissioned officers and,

PanY, which returns

Detachments of dismounted men attached to the
sth Dragoon Guards have arrived at Ipswich and
'Norwich barracks. The regiment will be divided
so that three troops are stationed at Norwich
_
with the headquarters, three at Ipswich, and two
at Northampton. As the various troops have
crossed the country from Aldershot by coy stages,
the parties en route for Norwich are not expected
now to arrive before Wednesday or Thursday, and
the head-quarters will not reach their destination
till Saturday. Two troops have, however) arriveq
at Ipswich. The regiment is under the dommaud
of Lieut.-Col. Calthorpe._ _Gapt;Montgomery's and

lery, Fort Cumberland, from the Ordnance stores
at Portsmouth.
