Naval and Military t " 111 4 oitce•

The members of the •Nulli Secundus Club (he
Coldstream Guards) dined- together at the London
Tavern on Saturday, the Hon. Colonel George
Upton in the chair, supported by Field Marshal the
Earl of Strafford, Lord Frederick Paulet, Lord
Hotham, Sir William Gomm, Sir Alexander Wood-
ford, Major-General Sir H. Bentinck, Col. Newton,
Lord Melville, Lieutenant-Colonel Byng,, Lieute-
nant-Colonel Burdett, Viscount Wellesley, Lieute-
nant-Colonel Strong, &c.
Captain A. J. 0. Rutherford, 70th Regiment,
has joined his regiment at Chatham, and taken the
command of the depot of that corps attached to the
Provisional Battalion..
Captain Richard S. Hewlett, C. 8., (1850), took
up his commission appointing him to the command
of her Majesty's' ship Excellent, on Saturday and
joined that ship. Captain Hewlett was trained in.
the Excellent, and is perhaps the most practical
gunner of his rank in the service. It is reported,
however, that the Excellent is no longer to be
retained until flag promotion removes tl,e.Captain ;
but that the ship is to be commissione I for three
years only, the usual peace term of commands at
home.

Three gun-boats, the Grinder, Fancy, and
Cracker, were taken from the steam reserve at
Portsmouth on Saturday, and placed in the steam-
basin' to be fitted out for a Cruise in the Chaunel
to test their relative qualities with the Jaseur and
Jasper,' also steam gun-boats ; the latter seem to
be a little larger than the others, and are also
rigged heavier, as brigantines, .with main and
mizentopmasts.
Gen. Sir J. Burgoyne, G.C.B , Inspector-General
of Fortifications, visited Portsmouth on_Satnrday,
and embarked in the night on board the steam-
tender Sprightly, for passage to the Channel Islands,
to inspect the fortifications at that station.
The Wildfire ate am-tender arrived at Portsmouth
on Saturday night, after di-embarking supernume-
raries, and left yesterday morning for Sheerness.
The out-pension of Greenwich Hospital vacant by
the death of Rear-Admiral Slaughter has been
given to Captain John M'Donnell, 1846.
The Diadem, 31, screw, is 'nesting at Ports-
mouth, and will receive a great quantity of ballast
on board to equal the weight of topmasts, spars
and rigging, guns, sea stores, J.,;c., so as to bring
her down to her heavy load line. She will then
take her trial at the measured mile at Stokes
Bay. The trial is looked forward t) with much
interest, as she is a most powerful frigate of a new
class to carry a " terrific" armament, and to work
up to nearly 3000 horse power.
The Flying Fish has had several trials at Spit-
head with the Bretagne screw, but hitherto without
results. She is to have another trial with halt the
blade., two taken off.
The Ganges, 84, Captain John Fulford, is fitting
in No. 3 dry dock, at Sheerness, with all dispatch,
to carry the flag of Rear-Admiral R. L. Baynes,
and to relieve the Monarch in the South Pacific.
Most of her officers have already joined her, and
her marines are expected to-day.
The Princess Royal, 90, strew, Capt. G. Giffard,
C.B.' lying at Lisbon, June 29, is about to proceed
to Gibraltar, where she will replenish prove-ions
and stores, and will then proceed to join Lord
Lyons's fleet in the Mediterranean station—most
likely at Genoa, relieving the Brunswick, 80, screw,
Captain Broadhead, ordered to Colon, to relieve
the Orion, 91, screw, Captain Erskine, C. 8., or-
dered home. _ _

The Royal Sovereign new screw three-decker
will be undecked in a few days at Portsmouth.
The Vulcan iron steam troopship, Commander
Furneaux, is being dismantled in Portsmouth har-
bour preparatory to being paid off.
In consequence of alarm guns having been fired
from the receiving ship Implacable, 50, Captain A.
Lowe, in Plymouth Sound, at midnight on Friday,
the gig belonging to the Custom-house and one in
the service of the African Mail Company left Mil-
bay to ascertain the cause. There was a strong gale
from the south-west, accompanied by heavy rein,
and in consequence of the thickness of the weather
some time elapsed before it was discovered that
a large ship was ashore on the breakwater.
She proved to be the Ontario, of Liverpool,
Captain Duff, from Sunderland June 13, with
1,000 tons of coal for Aden.. About ten days
since she put back for Cork, but, not being
able to fetch that port, bore up for Plymouth. They
made the French coast to the eastward of Brest on
Thursday night, and the next evening, on making
the Eddystone, clewed up fore and main topgallant
sails and courses. The breakwater was not seen un-
til so close that there was insufficient space for her
to weather about, and she struck some 100 feet to
the eastward of the lighthouse, which is on the ex-
treme west end. the crew allege that they did not
hear the fog bell until after the ship was ashore.
Boats from the Implacable and from the lighthouse
were soon in attendance. On Saturday the Onta-
rio's masts were cut away, and all her sails and
stores were saved, under the instructions of her
agents, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co. The hull must
go to pieces if the heavy weather continues. Some
of the crew are sent off by the Shipwrecked Mari-
ners' Society, and others are at the Sailor's Home,
Plymouth.
The Cossack, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. H.
Cockburn (1855), from the West Indies, has arrived
at Chatham, and will go into harbour for the pur-
pose of being paid off into ordinary.
The Pre-ident, 50, Capt. C. Frederick, is parti-
ally stripped at Chatham, and as soon as her stores
have been removed she will be paid off out of coin
mission.
An influential meeting of the inhabitants of Wool-
wich, at which Mr. G. H. Graham ',resided, hav-
ing been a short time ago convened for the pur-
pose of adopting a resolution foe the relief of the
labourers of her Majesty's dockyards, &c., it was
resolved that a petition should be placed in the
hands ofMr. J. Townsend, M.P. for Greenwich, to
be presented to the Government. On Saturday last
the result of the petition was made known at Wool-
wich. The Lords of the Admiralty hive direciel
that the pay of all men employed in the dockyards
and victualling establishments of the navy in the
receipt of 12s. per week shall be increased at the
rate of 2d. per day henceforth.
The defects in the machinery of her Majesty's
13 screwship Archer, recently paid off at Woolwich
from ttie North America and West India station,
are ordered to be made good.
In consequence of the successful trials which
have been made at Woolwich of Messrs. Shoat idge,
Howell, and Jessop's homogeneous metal, Govern-
ment have given directions for the use of that metal
in the construction of steam boilers, one of which
is ordered to be made for the 17 steam sloop Ma-
lacca, Capt. A. Farquhar.
The freightship James has been chartered by Go-
vernment to convey stores from Woolwich for Ber-
muda. The Marys has been likewise engaged to
transport a similar cargo for Valparaiso, and the
Mary Stoddart for Malta.
The shipment of the Transatlantic cable on board
the Agamemnon at Greenwich is proceeding with-
out interruption. On Saturday upwards of 600
miles bad been received and coiled safely in the
bold. The progress of its reception is averaging at
the rate of two miles per hour, and accordeig to the
calculation of Mr. Glass, the manufacturer, the
work will be completed and the vessel ready for sea
about the 24th inst.
Weedon Dawes has been appointed mate to the
Ganges ; Hugh Campbell, mate to the Hawke ;
and E. Evans, mate to the Cornwallis.
