The Scourge, steam-vessel, Commander Caffin, is ordered
to leave Woolwich this day for Portsmouth, to embark some
troops. The Acheron, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Aplin, is ordered to be refitted at Woolwich for temporary
service, and not to be immediately paid off, as was antici-
pated. The Sidon, steam-vessel, Captain Henderson, was
towed to Deptford on Monday by the Myrtle and Swallow,
steam-vessels, having had her masts put on board and rigged,
and her armament and part of her stores shipped. There
are some doubts as to her being immersed down to the line,
calculated by. her projectors. At present her wheels are
but slightly immersed ; and the weight of the stores and
ammunition she has yet to take on board will not, it is ex-
pected, bring her down tothe required line. The Bloek. Eagle,
steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, left Woolwich
on Tuesday for Portsmouth, to attend on her Majesty in her
next trip down the channel. It is expected her Majesty will
visit Falmouth and afterwards proceed to Jersey.—Ships in

Mimitrust) FiaciiWe hear that a curious and comical
fracas has recently occurred en board tine of the Royal
Yacht Club vessels. The yacht was out at sea, some distance
from land, when a difference of opinion took place between
the noble owner and the captain (a hall-pay naval officer),
mid epithets of no very gentle or complimentary nature were
very freely bandied between the belligerents. At length the
noble owner turned up all hands, and ordered the crew not
to consider Mr. as their captain, and no longer to obey
his commands. On this the valiant half-pay went below,
and, arming himself with a brace of pistols, returned on
deck, telling the Crew, at the same time, that he wul.viff_ y
their registered commander, and that unless they obeyed kie
orders be would treat them as mutineers. It is also reported
that he went so far as to threaten to put the noble owner in
irons if ha occasioned any further disturbance. The captain
ultimately brought the vessel into port but, of course, he
now no longer commands her.—Standard.
