Christening a Man-of-War in Russia is a different ceremony from that practised in this countiy. No bottle of wine is broken against the bows, but a metal plate, engraved with the name of the vessel and of her sponsor, with the date and other particulars, is let into the vertical keel. Over this, in the case of an iron vessel, a throat-plate is screwed down, and nothing more is seen of the engraved tablet till the vessel is broken up. The Miltiades Salvage Claim.—This affair is now at an end, and it is satisfactory to know that the preposterous award of the arbitrators has not been paid. On Tuesday last, an attempt was made to serve a detainer on the Miltiades in the Rangitoto channel, while going out of Auckland harbor. The detainer, was issued from the Admiralty Court at the suit of the crew of the Lady Bowen for salvage, but the crew of the Miltiades threatened violence to the officer of the Court if he attempted to board the vessel. ' He 1 therefore tied the writ to the cable, and retreated. The ship sailed during the night, The difference at issue was settled next morning by the owner of the Lady Bowen offering the crew £SOO out of the £1,625 awarded, which was accepted. .
