The following is a list of her officers:—M. - Pierre, capltaine de vaisseau; M. Galache, capitaine de frigate: lieutenants de vaisseau: MM. Billard, Pugo, Angarde, Pillot; Enseigne de Vaisseau Boularde, Quartermaster Campana, Surgeon (Ist class) Serez, AssistantSurgeon Maglioli; Midshipmen: MM. De Samt Pern. Thibault, Segras, Mondot, • Martret de Preville, Moragganl. Her crew numbers Ul2 men. Her equipment for war is altogether nine guns, four on each side, and one Immense five-ton gun in the fore part of the ship, which can be worked Into position for firing in any direction. The foremast is supported on both sides by huge beams in the form of a tripod, which enable the shrouds on each aidclto be cat away for firing purposes. Another great feature in the vessel is that her bulwarks work on hinges, and are let down when at close quarters so as not to be In the line of fire of the monster gun. She has the nsual number of boats and a steam launch, much the same as in an English man-of-war. The engine-room is well worthy of inspection. The engines, on the Woolf principle, were constructed by a French ttrm, "Inderet," in 18C9. There are four large boilers and eighteen furnaces, which work the three cylinders up to 1800 horse-power. There is also a condenser, which makes three tons of water daily. The consumption of coal is very slight, through tho use of a patent condenser, which is of very recent invention. Tho coal on board at present amounts to 350 tons. The Internet's speed may be set down at between fifteen and sixteen knots per hour During the vessel's stay In Picton tho inhabitants were constantly on board doing the'rounds, and seemed much pleased with their reception. The public will be able to satisfy themselves as to many small details of this fine ship, since by the courtesy of her officers she will be thrown open daily for inspection between the hour? of 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
