The warships have been transformed. Instead of guns and turrets, the vessels throughout are furnished with rich velvets ,silks and laces. The bulkheads are hung with works of the best French painters.—United Service. A proposal to bring the body of an unknown soldier for 'burial in his homeland was rejected in Australia, while a, similar suggestion in New Zealand lost in faint enthusiasm.
