Twu hundred Marines hare arrived herc'to guard
the Dock-yard ; a fyflsm infinitely better calcula-
ted to protea his Majetty's naval yard, than that
heretofore adopted of having the yard watched at
night by the labourers, who had been employed at

be incompetent to vigilance all night.

chaldron. A joyful fight for the inhabitants, who
have laboured under great inconvenience during
many years paa for want of a free quay to land
goods at. Sheernefs indeed, from being one of
the diftria places in the county of Kent, is now
yenraeeably altered by its new pavement, to a neat
town; and from its flourithing (late fince the
ha war, will, it is expeacd, loon become a place
of confequence.
The Lords of the Admiralty have ordered the
fhips in ordinary to be increafed very much : two
firft rates and fix third rates are to be added en

the ordinary; and it is fuppofed that the River
Medway, from Chatham to Sheernefs, will be ap-
propriated for the reception of fl.ip, in that flate.
It is however cervin that every care is taken to
place the thips in falety.
