The First Lord of the Admiralty will hold his
first levee at the Admiralty, Whitehall, on Tuesday,
May 5.
Admiral Prince Adalbert of Prussia, Lord High
Admiral of the Prussian Royal Navy, arrived at
Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday evening, on board
her Majesty's paddle yacht Alberta, Staff Commander
Welsh, after having paid a visit to her Majesty and
the Royal Family at Osborne. Yesterday morning
his Royal Highness embarked on board the British
Admiralty yacht Enchantress, Staff-Commander
Petley, and accompanied by Captains Baron St.
Paul and Waldersee, of the Prussian navy, and
Capt. F. B. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the
Queen, and Flag-Captain to Admiral Sir Thomas S.
Pasley, Port-Admiral and Naval Commander•in-
Chief at Portsmouth, proceeded out to Spithead,
where he went on board and inspected her Majesty's
ships Bellerophon, Royal Oak, and Liffey, now
lying at that anchorage. On returning to the har-
bour from Spithead, the Prince went on board the
Royal Sovereign turret ship, the Thunderer target
ship, and the Excellent gunnery ship. On board
the rhunderer was practically illustrated the Ad-
miralty method of testing armour plates supplied by
private manufacturers as clothing for our mailed
ships, and on board the Excellent was exhibited in
magnificent order every description of gun, missile,
and weapon known in naval warfare. On leaving
the Excellent a visit was paid to the dockyard,
where the Prince was joined by Rear-Admiral
Superintendent G. G. Wellesley, C. 8., Mr. Andrew
Murray, Chief Engineer, and other officials, and
conducted over the different vessels and other of
the more prominent of the objects of interest in
the establishment. This morning Prince Adalbert
is expected to leave Portsmouth in the Enchantress
for Portland, on a visit to the ships of the Channel
squadron lying there, under the command of Rear-
Admiral F. Warden, C.B.
The crew of the armour-plated screw steamship,
Prince Consort, 31, Capt. W. Armytage, in Ply-
mouth Sound, was inspected on Monday by Port

ron at Portland.

spected on Monday morning by Capt. Preedy, of the

ceeded into Hamoaze, where she will be paid off.

at Bombay on the afternoon of the 20th inst., with
