The steam gun-boat Hind arrived at ;Portsmouth yes-
terday from the Baltic, and went into harbour.

La Hogue, screw steam-ship, Capt. Ramsay, discharged
her powder and shot in Plymouth Sound, and went up
Hamoaze on Thursday.
The hired steam-ship Ripon, with Land Transport
Corps and provisions for the Crimea, left Hamoaze early
yesterday morning. When passing between St. Nicho-
las and the Main she met H. M..'s screw steam•sbip La
Hogue going up harbour. The two exchanged salutei

An Admiralty order hae.arraved at Sheerness for the
Phoenix, 6, screw steam-sloop, Commatider Arthur Tower
(just appointed); to be paid off. All the seamen who are
entitled to long leave are to be immediately discharged
to the Waterloo'; and op the Phceoix being paid off her
crew are to be transferred to the Waterloo.. She has
been taken into No. 1 dry dock; In order to obviate
her propensity for rolling; it has been recommended that
he should be doubled from her extreme breadth at her
bends downward to the floor heads, and rolling bilge
pieces fixed on her.
The Horatio, 8, screw steam-ship, Captain the Hon.
Arthur A. Cochrane, was taken into No. 3 dry dock,
Sheerness, yesterday, for a thorough overhaul of hull,
and machinery. On her outward passage from Sheerness
with the Glatton floating battery she called at Ports-
mouth, where it was found necessary, from complaints
made, to inspect her accommodation for officers and men.
The Right Hon. Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, K.C.8., M.P.,
and Admiral Martin visited her for that purpose, and it
was found that in consequence of the confined state of
the lower deck, which is only 5 feet 5 inches from deck
to beam, the average temperature with a portion of the
ship's company below was above 100 degrees. The ship's
crew consists of 200 men, who were at that time all
berthed and messed on the lower deck. It was immedi-
ately ordered by Admiral Berkeley that mess tables and
stools should be supplied for the ship's company living
and sleeping on the main deck for the future. The gun-
room on the lower deck, intended for the accommodation
of the gun-room officers, 10 in number, frequently
(by supernumeraries) increased to 17, did not con-
tain 400 cubic feet of space. About 80 cubic feet more
were granted them by Admiral Berkeley's order. The
temperature ranged from vunimunt 95 to 110, and that
in a constant vapour bath while tinier way with steam
up, which kept at least 25 per cent. of the ship's com-
pany on the sick list. Owing to this and other causes,
nearly one-half of the Horatio's crew have deserted her
sinie the Ist of January last. She has been taken into
dock for the purpose of remedying these serious inconve-
nish months
oes. It will require at least three to refit her.
Her Majesty's ship Dee, Master Commander Pullen,
sailed yesterday from Woolwich with boilers and ma-
chinery for Portsmouth. On the previous evening, dur-
ing a dense fog, Joseph Ostlan, a Quartermaster of the
Dee, fell into the basin, but was fortunately extricated
by the police, who were in attendance with lanterns
and ,drags. They were assisted by a workman of the
dockyard named Bradley, who has been instrumental
in saving the lives of two other persons similarly
situated. A man belonging to the Rhadamanthus
likewise fell into the basin alongside his ship, and
his body was not discovered until life was extinct.

The Beaver, lighter, was yesterday morning towed
down to Sheerness by the Monkey, with boilers and
machinery for the Porcupine.
The George Hawkins, steam-transport, passed Wool-
wich on Thursday for Greenhitne, where she will be
swung preparatory to her departure for the East. She
takes out medical stores for the army, and carries a mail.

J. Pascoe, likewise of the Woolwich Division, to be

C.B , of Devonport, died ou the 22d ult., at the hospital
at Therapia. He served with the Marine Battalion from
their first landing in the Crimea, and commanded a bat-
tery under Sir Colin Campbell at Balaklava. He was
also senior subaltern and acting adjutant to the Marine
detachment in the Battle of Inkerinan, after which he
