ADMIRALTY ORDERS.

Admiralty, Oct. 25th, 1841.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have taken into consideration that part of their Memorandum dated the 24th May, 1838, relating to seamen gunners which directs, that when vacancies occur in those ratings they may be filled up by any of the crew who may be able to pass, and obtain either a second or third elass certificate from a gunnery officer under the inspection of any captain the admiral may appoint, and are pleased to direct that hereafter, when there are vacancies for seamen gunners in any of her Majesty's ships, the captains of such ships may rate any men in such vacancies who may obtain second or third class certificates from the gunnery officer of his own, or, if there be not any gunnery officer, of any other ship, who may be appointed by himself to examine them-such men being subject to re-examina

tion on rejoining the Excellent, and to rejection if not then found qualified. By command of their Lordships, SIDNEY HERBERT.

Admiralty, Oct. 19th, 1841. Great inconvenience having been experienced from the imperfect and irregular manner in which the several Pay Documents and Muster Books are made out, and transmitted from her Majesty's ships and vessels, it is the desire of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that officers in command of ships will make themselves sufficiently acquainted with the regulations respecting the saine, to see that the several documents are made out in a clear and proper manner by their Clerks before they are signed and transmitted.

By command of their Lordships,
SIDNEY HERBERT.

CLEOPATRA ROCK, Newfoundland.-Her Majestys's ship Cleopatra whilst running between Fogo island and Fuuk island on the east coast of Newfoundland, passed within two cables' length of a shoal not laid down in the charts. It appeared rocky, of small extent, and very little below the surface of the water. When passing it White island bore W.S.W. by compass, distant twelve miles. This shoal was known to the fishermen at Toulinguet, but its position not accurately.
