The state of the Navy and the Royal Dock-
yards not requiring a continuance of the present ex-
ertions therein, a reduction has been ordered to
be made in the rates or pay to the workmen, by
(which there will be a saving of between £3OO
and £4OO a-week ; and, as the number of ships to
form the establishment of Portsmouth will be com-
pleted within the present year, a then further reduc-
tion, by the discharge of nearly 1009 men, will, it is
supposed, take place. The situation of Master Ship-
wright's Assistant, at Plymouth Dock-yard, vacant
by the death of Mr. M.Curaott, will not be filled
up. The Lords of the Admiralty have thus de-
termined on effecting the necessary reductions, ra-
ther than by a discharge of the workmen, from
knowing that there are no existing means of em-
ployment out of the Dock-yards, and this mode of
lesseaing the public expense would still leave them
a subsistence. Report states that the Dock-yard at
Deptford is to be reduced, and no longer to be used
as a building-yard, but as a depot for naval stores.—
The Naval Asylum at Greenwich is also named as
another quarter in which retrenchment will be adopted,
by the discharge of the Governor and all the other
Officers; while the Establishmert of the Children of
Seamen and Marines is to be transferred to Green-
wich Hospital; and the building which is now used
as the Asylum to be appropriated to the Naval Col-
lege, to be removed from Portsmouth.
