Orders have been received at Portsmouth dock yard, from the Admiralty, to suspend all further work on sails for ships of the line. The Army and Navy Gazette says: The Admiralty have accepted Messrs. Samuda's tender for the first cupola ship, which Messrs. Samuda have bound themselves, under a penalty of £4,000, to launch on February 10, 1863. The ship, for which £180,000 has been taken on the estimate, is to be 280 feet long, nearly 2,600 tons, will draw 20 feet, and will have engines of 500 horse power. She will, according to present arrangements, have six cupolas, each armed with two 100-pounder Armstrong guns. The Times says: The Royal Sovereign, converting to a shield ship from a three decker at Portsmouth, is expected to be placed in dock on Wednesday, next. She has been lightened to 25 feet, draught of water.
