LAUNCH OF THE CLYDE FRIGATE,
. AT WOOLWICH.

It having heen known that the launch of the Clyde
frigate, of 46 guns, would take place at Woolwich on
Thursday, about the time of high water, at an early
hour many hundreds of vehicles of different descriptions
were seen on the road to Woolwich. In the course of
the morning a detachment belonging r.o the Roy al Ma-
rines marched into the Dock-yard, where an immense
number of elegaraly dressed females, as well as Naval
and Military Officers, had assembled, for the purpose
of witnessing the intereqing sight. The day was un-
commonly fine, and the hilarity of the scene was much
heightened by the excellent band belonging to the Ms.
tines occasionally performing some delightful mar,ial
airs. The frigate was temporarily roofed over with
light wooden planks, and was decorated with the flag
of the Lord High Admiral, the English standard,
Union Jack, and an Ensign, and made a most splendid
appearance; between 200 and 300 persons were admit-
ted on board, the greatest portion of which were fe-
males. The necessary preparations being in readiness,
and the water having reached the required height, Mr.
Laing. the master carpenter, handed a bottle of wine to
Mrs. Furbar, the Lady of Captain Furbar, R.N. who
broke it on the bow of the frigate, and the signal being
given, at half past one o'clock the dog shores were
knocked away, and the Clyde glided from off the slips
in a most majestic style, amidst the acclamations of
some thousands of persons both on the river and shore,
and the band playing the national air of Goa save the
Xing. Tile river nas literally covered with boats, and
amidst the loude,t cheering the gallant Clyde was wel-
comed into her native element. In about an hour's
time she was warped near to the Dock-head, and the
company from en. board landed. She is to be imme-
diately coppered, and got ready for sea.-1 he Clyde is
built upon a plan furnished by Sir Robert Seppings, is
cf a light, elegant, and peculiar construction, being
round at the stern, the work of which is low, so as to
allow the stern chasers to be fired over them. The

Ifollowing are the dimenbions:—Length on lower deck,
152 fret; length of the keel tor tonnage, 127 feet,
4 iuchei; mime breadth, 40 feet 5 inches; depth

—The whole of the Royal Artillery and Marines not
engaged on duty, as well as the different artisans em-
ployed in the dockyard, were granted a half day's
relaxation, and Woolwich presented a very bustling
scene. We regret to state that an accident occurred in
the dock-yard which is likely to [move fatal to a fine
youth named Thomas Lloyd, between 13 and 14 years
of age, the son of a sawyer employad in the dock-yard.
The youth and his co.upanions were playing on some
planks on the stern cf the Thunderer, 81. guns, when a
board shifting its position, the lad fell from a height of
nearly 30 feet on the stones below. He was taken up
in a lifeless state, and carried home without hopes of
recovery. Considerable activity is going on in the va-
rious departments of the dock-yard, which have, until
lately, been constantly inspected by his Royal Highness
the Duke of Clarence, whose resignation is generally la-
mented at Woolwich. The Boscawen, 84 guns, is in
frame; the Thunderer, 84 guns, on the stocks; the
Chichester frigate, of .50 guns, in a forward state. The
Blenheim, 74 guns, and the Tartar and Curacoa frigates,
are undergoing repairs. A large steam vessel, to be
called :he Columbus, is laid down, and the slips lately
occupied by the Clyde will be taken op by a frigate, to
be called the Medusa.

The great mart for sheep at Weyhill, near Andoier,
commenced yesterday ; and the hop and pleasure fair today.
Frass.—Thursday night a fire broke out on the pre-
mises of Mr. Cranfield, a wafer-maker, near Bromley,
in Kent, which did considerable damage, and destroyed
s)me thousand pounds worth of his property. About
nine o'clock on the night in question, smoke was ob-
served issuing from a barn, in which was deposited a
thrashing machine, together with several other imple-
ments cf husband* y, and a quantity of corn. On opening
the door of this place, the flames burst torth with great
fury, and communicated with several corn and hay-
stacks which stood near the barn, and which, together
with some outbuildings, were destroyed.—Yesterday
morning a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Din-
more, flax and hemp-dresser, of Waterloo-street, Wel-
woith Common, and which was not extinguished until
considerable damage had beets done to the property.
