have much improved on the passage. They will be dis-
embarked to sick quarters this morning. The ship ranged
alongside the dockyard and disembarked the officers yes-
terday afternoon under the directions of Assistant
Quartermaster-general Dalgetty.
The Earl of Shaftesbury also went into Portsmouth
harbour yesterday afternoon. She has brought only a
few Commissariat driven invalided and stores. The Ne-
gotiator brought merely a quantity of condemned Ord-
nance stores. On the 31 lost , in lat. 42.31 N.,long. 14 30
W., she spoke the bark Perthshire, of Liverpool. On the
Bth, in lat. 47.8 N., long. 10.24 W., she spoke the
Fort William, from Liverpool for Calcutta. The Queen
Victoria, No. 1 steam-transport, remained at Spithead
last night at sunset. Her Majesty's steam-ship Sans-
pareil, 71, Cape. Williams, left Spithead for Plymouth
on Saturday morning. Her Majesty's ship Horatio, 24,
Capt. the Hon. A. Cochrane C. 8,, left Spithead for
Sheerness on Friday night. Ifer Majesty's ship Basilisk,
6, paddle-sloop, Commander Jenner, went into Ports-
mouth harbour yesterday afternoon preparatory to being
placed in the steam factory basin to receive new boilers.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Inflexible arrived at Ports-
' mouth on Saturday from the Thames, with boilers for
the new 90-gun ship Repulse. In going up Channel she
had a collision with a merchantman, by which her port
paddlebox was stove in, and the paddlewheel rendered
unworkable. The steam-tug Comet was sent out to her
on making her accident known, and lashed to her da-
maged side, and thus helped her into harbour, the In-
flexible having only one paddle working. The Repulse
having been been dismantled of her jury rigging has
been placed in the steam factory basin to receive her
machinery.

The statement that officers of the army might on ar-
riving home invalided be admitted without limit into the
Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar (Portsmouth), on the
same terms and enjoy the same facilities as naval officers,
is not
.quite correct. The order has been made, but
there is an error as to the extent of its provisions. It
appears that when Sir Charles Wood, with the Board,
was last at Portsmouth, the anomaly was brought under
his notice, and he at once ordered that accommodation
for 12 military officers should be granted in Haslar.
More than one officer who came home yesterday in the
Robert Lowe availed himself of the privilege, in prefer-
ence to going into private lodgings and receiving the
12s. 6d. per day extra pay allowed by the Crown to
officers under such circumstances, to cover their expenses
while sick and disabled, besides the attendance of the
medical staff of the garrison.
The hospital ship Belleisle, Commander Hoskin, from
the Eastward, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Friday
evening.
The Horatio, 24-gun screw steam-ship, Captain the
Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., arrived at Sheerness
from the Mediterranean (last from Portsmouth), on Sa•
turday, at 3-15 p.m., and anchored in harbour. Her
crew are to be paid down, and She is, after making good
damage and defects, to be engaged on particular service.
On her homeward passage she experienced very heavy
weather crossing the Bay, and had a portion of her ham-
mock nettings and bulwarks carried away.
The Cressy, 80 guns, screw steam-ship, Capt. Richard
L. Warren, and the Ajax, 60 guns, screw steam-ship,
Captain Frederick Warden, C. 8., are hourly expected
at Sheerness from the Baltic.
The Waterwitch (late 8-gun sloop) has been weighed
by No. 1 and 4 lighters in Sheerness basin.
The Thistlegun-boat, Lieut. Commander David Spain,
now in No, 1 dry dock, Sheerness, will be put out of
dock on Wednesday next. She will not be out of the
hands of the engineers until the 28th inst. The Thistle,
while under fire bombarding Sweaborg, was struck four
times by shell bursting over her.
The Cuckoo, 3, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant-
Commander Augustus G. E. Murray, was prepared for
being put out of dry dock on Saturday, when it was
found that her boilers were so defective that they were
condemned ; she will therefore not be out of dry dock as
intended.
