On Saturday orders Svere sent to Chatham Dockyard to take on 400 additional artisans ; siml at Pembroke 150 extra shipwrights , with ft proportionate number of other workmen , have been engaged . Tlie ^ whole of these in . cn are working extra hours , early and late , to expedite the completion of numerous men-of-war on the stocks . At Woolwich nearly 300 extra bands have been taken on , and , in accordance with Admiralty orders , the following now vessels are to be laid down : —KopuJso , ninety-one guns ; Bristol , fifty-gnu frigate , and Polvorine , twenty-one gun ncrew corvette . The whole of the ships now in hand are to bo completed ad soon as possible .

Anderson was , a short time ago , presented with a compensation of £ 3 , 000 by the Council Of the Board of India * . , for his invention in the manufacture of leaden bullets . More civilian appointments are also spoken of as about to take placein the Laboratory and the other manufacturing departments of the Arsenal , which will tend to the advancement and economy of the
Govern-. . . At Chatham , the Cadmus , 21 screw corvette , is being made ready for sea , and the Chary bdis , of the same class , is being got ready for launching ; at this yard , too , the screw . 91 , Bulwark , has been laid down . The Algiers , 91 , has had her crew turned , over to her at Portsmouth , and has been towed out to Spithead .

•*?—— - ¦ CONTINENTAL NOTES . ¦ ¦ . . - . ¦ : . ¦ ¦ FItVNCE . , ' ¦' In an article which appeared in the Moniteur on Saturday , the Emperor denies that France is now making warlike preparations ; she has not exceeded the effective force she is accustomed . to have during peace . Assuming that preparations in . the arsenals have received any extraordinary impulse , it is _ only , he says , because changes were necessary in our materiel , pur artillery , and in the whole of our fleet . It is quite absurd , says the Monitcur , to represent
the Emperor as pushing on war , and to cast on him the responsibility of having aroused uneasiness , and of having caused warlike preparations in Europe . On Tuesday the Constitutionnel received instructions to publish an article , signed by its political director , A . Rence , on the recent article of the Moniteur . It explains that the publication of the Moniteiir article must not be regarded as a retrograde movement , caused by the crusade which an active propaganda had succeeded in raising against the Emperor , in Germany , as some persons have
The D 6 bais feels little doubt of the definitive success of Lord Cowley at Vienna . " Axistria must be convinced of two things—the first is that the French Government desires peace , since it lias voluntarily accepted the intervention of England , whose attachment to peace cannot be suspected ; the second is that European public opinion , so strongly pronounced for peace , would , not be indulgent towards the Government which should accept the grave responsibilit 3 * of having rendered peace impossible . We should feel no surprise at hearing the confirmation of the dispatches which represent as very favourable the progress of the negotiations opened by Lord Cowley . "
. Nothing is yet settled respecting the Ministry of Algeria . Some think it will be broken up altogether —others that it will be reorganised . The persons spoken of as likely to succeed Prince Napoleon are Marshal Randon , General Martimpre , and , as above stated , M . Chasseloup Laubat . It has beet ) rumoured for some weeks past that Prince Napoleon is to have the honorary rank of Lord High Admiral . . The Emperor Soulouquc is jjositively coming to Paris , not , perhaps , to reside their permanently , but to stay some time . His aide-de-camp , General Dessalines , lias taken apartments for his sable Majesty at the Hotel du Louvre .
PKL'SSIA . The infant Prince was baptized at Berlin on Saturday last by the name of Frederick William Victor Albert . There was a very splendid , illumination at night . The Prince and Princess Frederick William have addressed a public letter of thanks to the Prussian people for the numerous addresses of felicitation they have received on the occasion of the birth of their son . ; ¦ ' A declaration of foreign policy made by the
Prussian Foreign Minister , on Wednesday , was received with applause- by the Prussian Chamber of Deputies . The Government expresses a decided opinion that , with the co-operation of England , it will succeed in getting existing treaties respected . England and Prussia are described as holding a most favourable position in mediating between France and Austria . The Prussian Minister also affirms that while there lias hitherto been only a moderate hope of peace , matters are so changed that the peace IS not likely to be broken . . ¦
: RUSSIA . : The Gazette of the Senate of Tuesday published the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded between Russia and England , which was ratified by the Emperor on the , 10 th of January last .
AUSTRIA . The semi-official JDresden Journal publishes a letter from Vienna , in which it is stated that Austria has , according to Article 47 of the final act of Vienna , proposed to the Federal Diet preparations for war . The article in the Paris Moniteur is said , however , to have produced a very favourable impression upon the Emperor of Austria and upon Count Buol . The leading statesmen believe that the Governand that
ments will conic to an understanding , peace will be maintained . So much inflammable matter is , nevertheless , collected in the Italian duchies that an explosion is to be feared . In the meantime the Vienna papers criticise in asceptical , spirit the statements qfthq Moniteur . ,,., . On Tuesday the official Vienna Gazelle published a long . article , stating several reasons , founded on international law , why Austria will insist upon the complete maintenance of its special treaties with
the Italian states . m , . Lord Cowluy loft Vienna on Thursday morning at half-past seven o ' clock for London via Prague . His lordship had an audience of the Emperor on luesddy to take limve * . It is said that Lord Cowley is the bearer of counter-propositions of a hopeful character . _ , . , , On Wednesday the Paris Constttuttoiiiicl published an article signed " Uonlfaco , " on the armavticlc statesthat

asserted . On the same day Paris was astonished by the announcement in tho Moniteur of the resignation by Prince Napoleon of the Ministry of Algeria and the colonies . Count Prosper de Chasseloup-Laubat , deputy and manager of the Western Railway , was appointed successor to the Prince . It is sajd that the Prince offered his resignation to the Emperor on Saturday last , immediately after the appearance in the Moniteur of the article which seemed to him in contradiction with tho policy followed by the Etnperor with
since New Year ' s-day , and more particularly the promises inade to his father-in-law , the King of Sardinia . The apologists of tho Prince attribute his retirement from the Ministry to th 6 antagonism subsisting between him and MAk Fould and Walewski . When M . Walewski learnt thodunger that managed so near at hand , ho did all ho could to obviate it ; and he forgot for the moment his self-denial , and spoke with boldness , and resisted tenaciously the policy which lie considered so fatal ta the country . Of M . FoilUl it is affirmed that , believing war
probable , and convinced that tho consequences ooulil not bo otherwise than prejudicial , if not fatal , to thu dynasty which lie had now soWoil so lonjr , lio resolved the inoinent way-was declared to surrender his post of Minister . Tho friends of Prince Nupo lepn believe that his , retirement from the Ministry is only temporary , mul tlmt before the lupso ol ' uiany weelcs ho will again ba in power , but not with the samo collca « ucg . If tliis bo true , M . Walowskl's tonuro of ollico will bo very brief indeed . Diplomatic communications between Pnrid tuul Turin nro now very fVoquent .
