Ct. Jacksou,
1.-That the extensions of the Christmas-

2.That the Loing Vacation should be
extended and that such distion should begin 1st August and ́oud 39th September, subject, howover, to adequate provision being made in respect of the following mutters; --
The Royal Arthur is of the same class as the Crescent, St. George anŭ Gibraltar. She was laid down in August, 1889, and wun launched at Portsmouth in February, 18012. The Royal Arthur is built of stool, sheathed and coppured; has two acrew two funnels and two polo masts. Her length is 180 font, bout 60 feet 8 inches,
