[There is reason to believe that the list is not complete.] All gun-boats from the 1st of January instant are to be independent com- mands, and commissioned as such, not as tenders to other ships, as last year : each will have a crew of 36 men and officers.

The Royal Navy now consists of 4.56 vessels of all sizes, of which 301 are in commission ; most of the latter are steam-ships. Among the higher of- ficers of the Navy are now three "inspectors of machinery" and 125 " chief engineers!'

Two more floating batteries are to be built—two in Scotland, and one on the Thames.

Sir George Seymour has succeeded Sir Thomas Cochrane as naval Com- mtuider-in-chief at Portsmouth.

A letter from Kazatch Bay states, that Mr. Deheny, second master of H.M.'s screw gun-boat Lynx, was tried by court-martial on the 11th De- cember, for cowardice exhibited during the attack on Kiribati. Ho was found imilty, and sentenced to be hanged.

Among our military preparations, it is noted that a gun is in course of construction at the Mersey Steel and Iron works, Liverpool, which will weigh about 24 tons, have a 13-inch bore, and will (if successful) project a ball of upwards of 300 pounds a distance of five miles.

Messrs. Hogarth, of Aberdeen, cure, and pack in air-tight cases, immense quantities of flesh and fish for the use of the Allied forces, especially of the French. Messrs. Hogarth slaughter sixty .fat cattle daily. Mr. Julyan, an officer in the Commissariat, has introduced a new method of preparing field forage : he mixes up bay, bruised oats, and bran, and then subjects them to such a pressure that a ton-weight occupies but fifty cubic feet of space. The forage can then be cut into rations with a saw, like wood ; and a small portion in bulk forms a horse's ration. This is con- Sidered a great improvement on the old plan,
