WOOLWICH.

. JULY 6.—The Right Hon. the Earl of Haddington, First
Lord of the Admiralty; Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George
Cockburn, G.C.B. ; Rear-Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., and the
Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty ; with Captain Sir William Symonds; Surveyor of
the Navy, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard at twelve o'clock
to-day, and were received by Commodore Sir F. A. Collier,
K.C.B. and Ii C.H., Captain Superintendent; Capt. Bullock,
of the Porcupine steam-vessel; Commander Smith, • of the
William and Mary yacht ; Mr. Tinmouth, master-at-
tendant; Mr. Oliver -Lang, master shipwright; Mr. Jen-
kins, storekeeper.; Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer • Mr. Reid, as-
sistant to the master shipwright ; and Mr. Murray,f assistant
to the chief engineer, who accompanied their Lordships over
the various departments of this-extensive naval depot. The
first place-visited by their Lordships was the slip on which
the Royal Albert, 120 guns, is building, and Mr. Lang ex-
plained the progress made in the construction of this magni-
ficent vessel, and th e means adopted for strengthening her
timbers, so as to render her when finished the strongest
in the British navy. It is worthy of remark, that
the Emperor of Russia was so satisfied of the immense
strength of vessels built on the same principle as Mr. Lang
has adopted in constricting the Royal Albert, that his Im-
perial Highness expressed his intention on his return to St,
Petersburgh to give orders that every vessel built for the
Russian navy in future should he put together in the same
form. On leaving the Royal Albert, the Lords Commis-
sioners proceeded on board the Black Eagle steam-vessel, at
present undergoing a thorough renovation. Their Lord-
ships then inspected the Da dalus frigate, the foundery, and
the extensive range of new buildings. On leaving the
foundery, their, Lordships proceeded to the eastern part of
the dockyard, and visited the excavations carried on
for the purpose of forming a new dock, and the founda-
tions Immediately ;adjoining, on which will be erected
extensive steam saw-mills for the use of the dockyard.
The -Gladiator steam-vessel, now nearly ready' for launch -
Jug, was. next . visited, and the Amphion, of 36 guns.
The latter has been some time on the stocks, and from the
observations made by their Lordship it is probable she will
be proceeded with and launched, as the slip can then be made
available for building other.vessels in contemplation, when
room can be obtained for their construction. The ole of
the fire-engines were in order under the-police, with their
Inspectors Robinson and, Havard, and everything which
came under their Lordships' observation appealed to give en-
tire eatisfaction. Their Lordships, previous to leaving the
dockyard, entered the residence of Sir Francis'Collier for a
short time, and returned to London at half-past three o'clock
p.m. The Admiralty flag was hoisted on time arrival of their
Lordships, and taken down at their departure.

but they will follow in a freight ship in the course of Doxt
week, Lady Bloomfield and niAny of the wivesof the officers
of- the garrison having formed a fund to assist those
