New instructions from the Admiralty, dated the
Ist instant, have been issued this week. They are nearly
the same as those of 1839,
with this exception—the clause
is rescinded which authorises
the captain of the guard ship to
take charge of the
.dooctkord
and
perform the duties of the
superintendent during
. absence of that functionary. Those
duties will now temporarily devolve, on such occasions, upon
the master attendant, who must of necessity be better ac-
quainted with their routine than the Captain of the Ail-
miralty, whose regular employment is afloat. Theo new
instructions enjoin that no ship or vessel of war-, haying
powder or live shell on hoard, beallowed to enter the har-
bour at any port, on any account, without 07,0 permission of
the Connnancler-in-Chief, or the senior officer, at such port.
That when a salute is to be fired, tb•z guns, , re
to be drawn, wormed, sponged, a':id reloadedi •,f thatloaded if uan-
loaded, they are to be wormed, sponged, and loaded ; that
wads are never to be used in salutes ; that port-fires are not
to be used in tiring salutes, but that the guns are to be
fired, either with salamanders, or with percussion tubes and
hammers ; that although the gunner may have reason to
believe that all the foregoing precautions have been taken,
he is nevertheless to lay the guns so as to prevent tho possi-
bility of mischief, in the event of a shot or wad being left is
any of the guns.—United Service Gazette.
