Rear-Admiral Hilary Gostares Aodoc, C.B., has been selected by the Admiralty to succeed Vice-Admiral G. Digby Morants Superia- tendent of Chatham Dock-yard. The appoint ment will date from Sept. 1.

A sid end has befallen Major-General, Need- ham Thompson Parions, of Lower Addiscombe road, Croydon. The gallant officer, with his wile, son, and two daughters, was taking a hell. day at Peèl, Isle of Man, where the party arrived a forloight ago. On 7th inst, he was cycling on the Elgh road from Castletown to Peel when he suddenly fell off his machine and died of syncope, General Parsons, who was sixty mine years of age, served in the Burmese Wai War of 1853-3, was wounded at Cawnpore in 1857, was engaged Is the North-West Frontier War in 1863, and commanded the 103rd Foot Regiment from 1872 to 1877, retiring from the service twelve years ago.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York appear to have had a rather narrow escape in connection with their trip to the Needles in the new torpedo-heat destroyer Charger. It trans. pired on 7th inst. that about two minutes after the Prince and the Dake landed at Portsmouth, the attention of the engineer's staff was directed to the preullar manner in which smoke was fasulag from the Charger. It was then found that the crown of the fire-box was cracked right across. The fire was immediately drawn to prevent the boller burnilog, and there the incident ended.

Officers on the Chins station will have a good deal more to tell us about the China War, states the Naval and Military Record, than the ordinary newspaper correspondent's have telegraphed. It is interesting to learn, for instance, that at Wel-hal-Wel per mission was obtained from the Japanese authorities to send divers down to examine the Injuries sustained by the Chinese ships sunk daring the torpedo attack. The Centurion's divers, therefore, under the superintendence of Torpedo-Lieutenant Sir Robert Arbuthnot, want down and examined the halls of the Lat Yurn Wi Yen, and Ting, but the latter was buried so deeply in the mud that her damage csold not ba discovered.
