THE NAVY.

The gunboat Violet, Lieut. and Commander
Eugene C. Batty, at Aberystwith, seems to have
been tolerably successful in picking up men for the
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, upwards of 20
having joined in that small harbour. More are
likely to join, and some have been raised for gene-
ral service in the navy. The Violet has been useful
during the late tempestuous weather. On the 19th
of February, when the schooner Aquila, of Borth,
was totally wrecked near Aberystwith, the crew
were saved through the exertions of the officers
and men belonging to the gunboat, who waded
through. the surf, and by means of life buoys and
and life lines brought all the schooner's crew ashore
in safety. 'The Aquila was soon broken up by the
force of the waves. On the 21st a large ship was
observed at anchor about 24 miles from Aberyst-
with. Shortly afterwards all her masts were cut
away, as it was blowing a heavy gale from north-
west. The Violet was not afloat, and the weather
was too severe for an open boat to reach the ship ;
but, as soon as the gale had in some degree mode-
rated, a boat was despatched, and found the dis-
tressed ship to be the Bellewood, of 2,500 tons
burden, laden with cotton, 37 days from New
Orleans. She was in comparative safety at the
time the boat reached her, the gale having mode-
rated. Her captain decided upon waiting the
arrival of a steamtug for Liverpool, which had
been telegraphed for when she was first observed
in distress.

Steam was got up on Thursday on board the
screw gun vessel Nimble, 5 (tender to her Majesty's
ship Nile), at Devonport, and she proceeded from
Hamoaze outside Plymouth breakwater, to try her
machinery, and on returning anchored in the
Sound. It is said that the Nimble will sail for
Bermuda on Tuesday.
The Lords of the Admiralty are making minute
inquiries from the authorities at Devonport dock-
yard regarding the condition of the screw steam-
shit) Princess Royal, 91, Captain Charles Fellowes.
If her repairs be likely to occupy. much time, no
doubt some other ship will be appointed to bear the
flag of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, Commander-
in-Chief of the Channel Fleet.
