New instructions from the Admiralty, dated the
pfocny_atrhee nearly

as havethose issuedbeofenlB3fit wittl
is rescinded which authorises the captain of the guard ship to
take charge of the dockyard, and perform the duties of the
isthwisee et ce They
superintendent during the absence of thatfunctionayy. Those
duties will now temporarily devolve, on such occasions,. upon
the master attendant, who must of necessity be hetter-ec-
quainted with their routine than the Captain of the Ad.
miralty, whose regular employment is afloat. These new
instructions enjoin that no ship or vessel of war, haying
powder or live shell on board, beallowed to. enter the har-
bour at any port, on any account, without the permission of
the Commander-in-Chief, or the senior officer, at *lnch port.
That when a salute is to be tired, the guns, if loaded, are
to be drawn, wormed, sponged, and reloaded ; that it un-
loaded, they are to be wormed, sponged, anal loaded ; that
wads are never to be used in salutes ; that port-tires are not
to be used in tiring salutes, but that the guns are to be
tired, 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-the possi-
bility of mischief, in the event of a shot or wad being left la
any of the guns.— Lkitcel Soria Gook:
