stores for the fleet.

len, left Portsmouth yesterday, on her return to Wool-
wich.

The sailing-transport Julia, No. 111, Captain Baker,
arrived at Spithvad yesterday from the East with 177
invalids and six women, in charge of Assistant-Surgeon
W. A. Frith and Lieutenant E. H. Marsh, of the 34th

on the 27th. Only one death occurred on the passage,
and all the rest of those on board have progressed most
favourably during the voyage.
The i eneral Screw Company's steam-ship Cape of
Good Fope, of 700 tons' burden and 100 horse-power,
lying at Southampton undergoing repairs, was surveyed
yesterday, for the purposes of the transport service.

of providing accommodation for 43 horses, 54 men, and
eight or ten officers. The capacity for cargo which the
Cape of Good Hope possesses, as compared with her
comparatively small tonnage, renders her a valuable
vessel for despatching stores, summer clothing, or any
commodity which may be deemed esseutial for the use
of the army in the Crimea.
