in the Southampton, 60, arrived at Rio on the 9th October,
from the Cape of Gard Hope, whence she sailed on the 12th
Sept., to supersede Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8.,

S ptembir, for the Cape of Good Hope.—The Inconstant,

to San Francisco. Commander Ileatheote, promoted, came
home passenger by the Constance, which will be towed into
harbour to morrow morning by the Stromboli, which steamer

Tan COSIXANDER-IN-CHIEF ON THE COAST OP Arit.CA.
—A report has arrived from the Least of Africa (says the
United Service Gazette) to the effect that Commodore'
Fetishism was about to send home his resignation of the
command in chief of the station.
Tort ROYAL YACHT AND HER COST.—The Victoria and
Albert is ordered to be docked at Poriaarmth to have an
entire refit, and to have her boilers planned for her. This
will be the third sato( new boilers within five yeses, although
she is only employed about a mouth each year. When this
vessel was launched we (United Service Gazette) estimated
the cost at a hundred thousand pounds. The idea was
then scouted ; but it is nevertheless the fact that she has cost
the country altogether nearer 200,0001. than 100,0001. We
are quite sure that the public would not begrudge the ex.
penditure of the larger sum in procuring for Her Majesty a
suitable yacht, if the accommodation could not be obtained
for a less amount, but it will most decidedly object to paying
foe one most intillcient v *ad what ought to purchase
at least half a dozen. The Ruler of Egypt has degraded
and banished the Neva Architect and Captain of his
yacht—a good and effl,lent ship, assay hundred tons
larger than the Victoria and Albert—because the cost
exceeded the estimate! but Our liberal and enlightened
government has given the navel architect of the royal yacht
a retirement of 5001. a year, whilst his assistant has had Lis
salary increased from 6.301. to 8001. a year, and the ship-
wright, builder, and his progeny have received all sorts of
promotions. People of commou sense will easily determine
which government is most wise and just.
A CHEAP MAN-OP-WAR STEAHEB.—It is stated upon'
pretty good authority (United Service Gazette), that the
