The removal of Fort Clarence Military Lunatic Asy-
lum from Fort Clarence, near Rochester, commenced on
Thursday. On Friday the first division, consisting of
twenty military insane officers, were taken away in con-
veyances en route for the establishment which has re-
cently been fitted up at Shorn Cliff, near Dover, as a
temporary asylum for the accommodation of the military,
lunatic patients. On Saturday the second division, com-
prising forty-five insane soldiers, with six insane women,
proceeded by the same route. It is supposed ,that
tne establishment will remain at Shorn Cliff for about
three years, at which period it is expected the new
asylum, about to be built near the Bluebell-hill, on the
Maidstone road, about three miles from Rochester, will
be completed.

The Royal Yacht Squadron cutter Wave, Marquis of
Blandford, has had a new false keel put to her, by Mr.
Ratsey, and on Monday was launched afloat.
The cutter Lufra, belonging to Lord John Scott, has
since been hauled up on the patent-slip in the same yard,
for the purpose of having a thorough overhaul and refit.
Mr. hatsey built this beautiful yacht about twelve years
ago, and notwithstanding her age, she has been found,
after a general survey, to be quite sound, her copper has
been taken off, and she is to be newly coppered and a re-
gular refit.
There is a new yacht, of about 50 tons, building in the
same yard for Mr. Gray, of Liverpool, and from all ap-
pearance bids fair to be a clipper ; she is in a very for-
ward state, and will be launched next month.
The cutter Flower of Yarrow, belonging to the Mar-
quis of Conyngham, will, it is said, proceed shortly to
Harwich with her noble owner. Yesterday her wizen-
mast was stepped, having been converted from a cutter
into a yawl. She will be ready for sea in the early part of
next week.
