The Sergeant then spoke to Mr Bailie about this obstruction, but when he passed again later on, he observed the same obstruction with the exception that the forge was removed closer to the Praya wall. The next day, however, the cause of complaint was all removed.-Mr Bailie appeared to represent the defendant and stated that it was not at all the desire of those connected with the establishment to cause any obstruction.

in the Yokoska arsenal Japan, took place yesterday the 13th instant. Many persons, principally French residents, with however & considerable sprinkling of those of other nationalities, availed themselves of the op- portunity of making the trip, afforded by the running of the Arsenal boats, as advertised, hence to Yokoska. In the course of the morning the Messageries Maritimes launch, and some private launches, took down parties of visitors. So that, in spite of the inclemency of the early part of the day, and the absence of very great pomp and circumstance, the assembly of foreigners to witness the launch was large. The Japa nese, too, assembled in great numbers from the neighborhood, and the crowds thus form ed were greatly increased by the Yokohama and Tokio natives who made holiday. Still, there was an appreciable deeresse on the whole from the number of visitare present on the last occasion.
The principal foreign employés of the Arsenal were entertained at an official tiffin
by Mr Terashima and General Nakainuta, who then took a tour of inspection through the arsenal, and at 4 p.m. took their places on the stage whence the launch was to be witnessed. The part of the stage in question whared by F. G. Shore Sing with being occasions, divided from the portion pilseed at John Leary, seaman U. S. S.

Mr Thibaudier, himself, through Mr David, the foreman carpenter, directed proceedings. The last wedges were taken out, a little leverage was applied, and the vessel glided with increasing momentum into the water. So quiet was the motion that it was imperceptible on board, the persons standing on the deck only being aware of their change of position by the evidence of their eyesight. The engines and screw had already been placed in the boat while on the ways. The speed she acquired tools her, as had been anticipated, opposite the large crane from which one of the two boilers destined for her was already slung. She was promptly hauled alongside the crane jetty, and the boilers were hoisted into her, within an hour from the time of her touching the water. The launch was a com- plete success; and the workmanship of the vessel testifies to the care and thoroughness with which the work is done by the people of the arsenal, native and foreign.
