With reference to the statement that has been made that the Naval Squadron in China was to be shortly reinforced by the despatch of either the Ajar or Agamemnon, we believe that there is no truth whatever in the report. Such a class of ship would only be required as a flagship, and the Audacious has only just recently been detalled for this duty, and all other requisite changes have been made for the present with regard to relief and recommission of vessels.. These have already been reported by us from time to time.
The following naval appointments to the China Station are gasdited-Lieutenants: Gonton Glennie, Richard B. Newland, Francis S. Om maney, William Hewetson, Robert D. S. Wrey, and Frederick R. W. Morgan to Curaços. Sub Liculenant: Cecil W. Ashby to Ceraton, recom, missioned. Midshipmen: Thomas 5. G. New bold, Carlton V. de M. Cowper, Phillip Walter, Randal T. M. Berkeley, George W. W.
