on the 20th of June, 1854, with detachments of cavalry
(principally Enniskillens) and infantry. She has been
since constantly employed in carrying troops and de-
spatches by the late Admiral Boxer, and led the first divi-
sion of transports at the landing the expedition to the
Crimea, since which time she has been employed in
the Commissariat service, and has made in all 64
voyages from port to port since she left England.
The Saldanha sailing transport went into Portsmouth
harbour yesterday, and landed her military invalids. The
Alban steam-vessel, Lieut. Fisher, R.N., left Spithead
for the Nore yesterday, with supernumeraries. The
Sealark and Rolla 8-gun brigs, Lieutenants Lowther and
Fenwick, RN.' in command, left Portsmouth harbour
for the roadstead yesterday, and joined the Royal squad-
ron of honour. The Osborne (ex-Victoria and Albert),
Royal yacht, will also form one of the Royal steam-
squadron to attend the Queen to France. The Glatton,
16, steam-battery, Captain Cumming, was towed into
Portsmouth harbour last evening. The Malacca, 17,
steam-corvette, Captain Farquhar, is completing some
repairs in the steam-basin at Portsmouth. There are
several cases of desertion among the seamen. The
Sitnoom, 38, steam troopship, Capt. T. R. Sulivan, is
preparing to receive her boilers in the steam-basin. The
steam troop-ship Perseverance is in dock at Portsmouth,
receiving sundry repairs. The great three-decker Marl-
borough, 131, is under the shears in the steam-factory
basin, shipping her boilers, &c. The Neptune, 120 ;
St. George, 120 ; Meteor, 16 ; Roiamonci, 6 ; Sealark,
8 ' • and Rolla, 8, were at Spithead last night.
Abdint 1,400 tons of shot and shell have been received
in Woolwich Arsenal since Monday by various schooners
and other craft from the Scotch and Yorkshire works ;
and in the course of 10 hours the whole of these freights
were lying on the wharf ready for re-embarkation. These
vessels return thence with all despatch for similar car-
goes. One transport only has arrived at Woolwich since
Monday—namely, the Dorwin, screw, and she, has com-
menced her preparations for sea.
Mr. James Atchison, surgeon, has been appointed to
the Havannah ; Mr. Andrew Moffatt, surgeon, to the
Syren ; Mr. C. M. Shaw, surgeon, to the Alecto ; Mr.
James Wallace, assistant-surgeon, to the 'Waterloo ;
and Mr. Edward Faulkner, paymaster, to the Havan-
nab.
A letter from Balaklava, dated the 24th ult., gives
the following news from the fleet there :—" In harbour
—The Leander, 50 ; Diamond, 28 ; , Wasp, 14 ; Pro-
metheus, 6 ; and Triton, 4. In the bay—The steam
surveying-vessel Spitfire. The Prometheus arrived last
night from Spithead, bringing Rear-Admiral Fremantle
to succeed to the superintendence-in-thief of the Trans-
port Service at this station. He had hoisted his flag in
the Leander. Lieutenant Dowse, of the Royal Marines,
stationed on this heights of Balaklava, died of fever a few
days ago. Cholera has again made its appearance in
the harbour of Balaklava."
The cause of the failure of the new machinery of the
Sanspareil, 70, on the occasion of the attempted trial at
Plymouth, on Saturday last, cannot be clearly ascer-
tained. It is said that displacement of some part of the
engines or boilers by additional weight, received on
board since lying at !,her sailing moorings, has created
the difficulty ; but it is also alleged that there is only a
slight derangement in the slide motion, which can be
easily remedied. She steamed correctly from Keyham
yard to the moorings, and it is therefore supposed that
the cause of failure has occurred since. The next trial
will be made on Friday or Saturday, when, if practicable,
she will proceed direct to Spithead. Previous to the
alteration the Sanspareil had two boilers of 300 horse-
power ; she now has four boilers of 400 horse-power,
constructed by Messrs. James Watt and Co., who also
made her engines, shaft, and screw, all being new. The
engines are similar to those which have biien so successful
on board the Jason ; the screw, which is of the ordinary
kind, can be unshipped in two minutes and a half ; this
is done without drawing out the shaft. Through eco-
nomy of space, although her present power is 100 horses
more than before, she can carry above 30 more tons of
:uel now than previous to the alteration.

REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN LEGION AT
SHORNCLIFFE BY TSB QUEEN:

DOVER, TUESDAY EVENING,

We have been informed, through the kindness of Col.
Streatfeild, the commandant of the garrison at Dover,
that the Foreign Legion, encamped at Shorncliffe, will
be reviewed on Thursday next, August 9, by the Queen,
who will sail from Osborne at an early hour on that day
in the new Royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert. It
is stated that her Majesty will disembark at Folkestone,
being the nearest port ; but we believe that is not yet
definitively settled. The whole arrangement is neces-
sarily uncertain, as it will depend in a great measure
upon the state of the weather at the time. The great
length of the sea voyage from Osborne would render a
stormy passage unpleasant to the Royal party ; it is
therefore probable that the event will be postponed if the
weather should be very adverse. The German Legion
at Shorncliffe, now about 1,800 strong, will be com-
manded by Brigadier-General Wooldridge ; the Swiss
Legion, which is now stationed at Dover, and numbers
about 1,100 bayonets, will be conveyed to Folkestone
early on Thursday morning by railway, and will march
thence to the camp. This division of the Foreign Legion
will be under the command of Brigadier-Colonel Raines.
It is not yet settled whether the whole of the troops at
Dover will proceed to the camp, as it will depend upon
the power of the South-Eastern Company to convey so
large a number, but as the distance is short, and as the
men are all anxious to be reviewed by the Sovereign, it
is probable that the whole force will go. The men have
--made great progress in their drill during the last few
weeks, add their soldierlike appearance and martial bear-
ing are highly creditable to both officers and men. Ac-
cording to present arrangements, her Majesty will return
to Osborne in the Victoria and Albert immediately after
the review.
It is expected that the King of Portugal and his bro-
' ther,th
the Duke of Oporto, will accompany the Queen to
Shorncliffe.
