The FmiJifurter Journal of td day states that tho form of the Convention between Russia and Prussia, as up at St. Petersburg, has been considered by the Berlin Cabinet to bo of too general a character.

Tbe iron plated ship Royal Oak, St, rUO hone power, ia dry dock at Chatham, Is filling op with her sea and other tores, at fait aa they can be put oa board. Salts wert bent yesterday, and from the energy which is bains displayed by the 1 warm of mechanics, shipwrights, Jniners, sod labourers who crowded her deJks there Is no doubt that she will be ready for undoclring by tht middle of this month the period announced in the House of Commons by the Secretary of the Admiralty. It would, however, be nsaleat to oon eeal the fact that several weeks.

If not ninths, mast yet elapse before the Royal Oak eaa bo anything liko to be despatched on her experimental cruise, as there is yet a vast amount of work remaining to be executed 00 board before the in her sea trim. Under the eyetrf an experienced and energetie oSser there is little doubt that much greater progress woold be made ia tbe work of fitting and completing the Royal Oak than is possible under the existing dockyard regulations. Capt. E. A.

Campbell, who has been appointed to tbe comuiaad of the first of 'oor iron eased squadron, bears a deservedly high character In the rriee, and is just the oSeer to superintend erery thing relating to the' fitting out of such a vessel as the Royal Oak. Unfortunately, however, although virtually appointed to that frigate tome tea days or a fortnight sines, he has not yet taken the and it stm seems uncertain when the Royal Oak will be commiasiooed. The principal work remaining to be completed oa the upper or fighting deck is the eonttroetioa of the show proof turret, or recoonoitering tower, to be need by the officer ia charge of the vessel when the ship is in action. The position of the turret is about, mid distance between the iron main sod mizeo masts, aad is entered by means of an opening from the main deck. The form of the turret' ia elliptical, and it ihtemled to 11 tract it of mficieut strength to resist the ejects of any shot.

The inner skin of the turret, or conning tower, is composed of sheet iron 9 lCtbs of an inch in thickness, and firmly riveted together. On these is laid the planking; 9in. in thickness, the whole of the exterior being eased with 4J in. armour plate of the tame thickness as those used ia eaeaatng the outside of the" frigate. The first of the plates for the tower wat fnt on bnonl onVFridsT.

barine been bent, nlaaed. drULvL pahd polished in Utactory. The plate operated upon was prje of the ordinary 4 lnch 4 ton armour plates ia store at Chatham Dockyard, and eonsiderable interest was attached to the' process of beading it to the required shape, from the circumstance of the whole question relating to the present system of beadin and preparing tbe armour plates for ships of war befog just now under the consideration of the Iron Plate Committee. The plate used was one of the rolled kind, from the establishment of 'Messrs. Beale 'and Co of the Parkgate droa works, Derbyshire.

When Her Majesty's ship Bacchante, arrived at Panama, left Callao rumours had been in circulation, but they were not much relied on, that a Spanish fleet was shortly expected for the purpose of makins a demand upon Peru in regard to the guano islands, Spain still claiming Peru at a colony, having never' acknowledged her independence. 1 Friendly relations between Peru and Ecuador were confirmed. Doctor Don Urroa, Charge d'Attaires of the Ecuador Legation at Lima, was recognised in his official capacity, and a good understanding arranged between the two Governments. Peruvian mining operations were being carried on with great rigour and profit. Exchange on Iwtdou wai at 42d.

Sir Georn Grey hat come to the conclu sion, under aU the circumstances, that tha recommendation of the prisoner to mercy by the jury is entitled to more than ordinary weight, snd that the sentence may be commuted to penal servitude for life." Three petitions had been sent to the Home oSee for mitigation of tbe capital sentence, one by the counsel and sgent for the prisoner, another fay several eminent med cal men, and a third by the wife of the prisoner; all tettmz' forth that he wss insane. Strong expectations were founded on tbe facts that the" whole of the medical erldeaot the charge of the presiding Judge, sad a minority of sit of the jury were in favour of tbe plea of insanity, and that tho rerdict of "Ouflty" brought ia by the majority wat backed by a reeommendstson to mercy.

Armstrong, who it employed on the iron frigate Achilles, and under whoae superintendence the plates for that vestal are being bent. In this, instance the plate was heated to black" heat, and afterwards placed in the press, when by means of the hydraulic ram the required bend was given it. A minute examination of the plate on its being removed from the machine failed to detect any rupture ot the fibres of the iron, and, to all appearance, the plate wss in every respeet as sound as before it wat operated upon. The stab wat afterwards planed, drilled, and smoothed, aad to day it will be bolted to the exterior of the turret. The entire staff connected with the Royal Artillery and.
