Naval movements have been few and unimportant. The British gunboat Redpole arrived here on the 21st inst. from Shanghai vid ports, and the Porpoise is expected to-morrow. The U.S. cruiser Concord left here on the 18th inst. for Shanghai, and the armoured cruiser Baltimore arrived here this morning from Singapore. The Baltimore is a fine vessel built of steel, having a displacement of 4,413 tons and her horse-power 10,750, developing a speed of 19 knots. She carries 4 8.inch breech-loading rifled guns, 6 G-inch ditto, and 6 quick-Sung ditto She is a formidable looking vessel with two funnels and a couple of fighting tops. With these vessels the United States will be more fittingly represented in these waters. Her obsolete wooden tubs will gradually give place to modern ships, and one day even the Monocacy will become a memory of the past.
