According to the latest accounts the following was
the position of the detached fleet :—The Royal Albert,

Agamemnon, Algiers, Sidon, Leopard, Inflexible, Swa.-
low, and Beagle, at amiesh, The Tribute and Spite-
ful% off Sebastopol. The Highflyer, off Bertsch. The
Leander, Diamond, Wasp, and Vesuvius, at Balaklava.
The Vulcan, Megmra, and Simoom are gone to Genoa
for Sardinian troops.
The hired screw-steam transport Victory, Capt. Vere
Item, having been surveyed by Messrs. Coming and
Mare for the Board of Trade, and inspected by Mr.
Brown, Master Attendant, left Plymouth Sound yes-
terday morning for the Crimea with the staff of General
Vivian.

A detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards,
consisting of 1 officer, 1 sergeant, 30 men, and 60 horses,
marched from Dundalk on Thursday, and arrived in
Dublin on Saturday, to await embarkation to join the-
reglresent in the Crimea. .
. A. detachment of the 14th Regiment, consisting of 1
field-officer, 2 captains, 3 subalterns, 6 serjeants, 2 drum-
men, and 154 men, arrived in Dublin on Friday from
Mußinger; and proceeded by railway to Cork on Satur-
day to await embarkation, to form a portion of the depot
battalion at Malta.
Large draughts from the depots in Limerick garrison
proceeded on Friday to the seat of war. A large con-
course of persons witnessed their departure.
The steam-transport Indiana, which arrived at Spithead
at 6 o'clock on Friday morning with 263 military invalids
from Scutari went into Portsmouth harbour about 12
o'clock on Saturday. The Acting-Assisting Quarter-
master-General Dalgettythen went on board, andarraoged
for the cases that required stretchers, to be removed at once
into sick quarters at Portsmouth ; these were only 17 iu
number ; those who go to the Invalid Depot at Chatham
remain on board ship until this morning, when they
will land and proceed by railway. The invalids have
received unremitting attention from Mr. John Macdo-
nald, M.D., surgeon of the Indiana, and in charge of
the invalid troops. The Indiana is a most admirably
fitted-up ship, better than any we have seen yet, for the.
comfortable- accommodation of sick and wounded,
having been- originally fitted up for German emigrant,
of a superior class. The Medway, which also arrived
at Spithead at the same early hour on Friday morning
as the Indiana, was not taken into harbour yesterday—
upwards of 50 hours after reporting herself. The captains
could get no one to authorise their coming in on Saturday
morning. Fhe Port-Admiral had gone two days previously
to the Downs with a squadron of honour for the Empe-
ror of the French ; the Admiral Superintendent of the
Dockyard, and pro. tern. acting Commander-in-ekief,
was sitting as president of the court-martial on the
officers of the Tiger, and he does not appear to have de.
puted anybody to do the duties of the port during his
engagement on board the Victory, for his flag-lieu-
tenant told the capta n of the Indiana, that he
could not see the Admiral, but if he (the captain) chose
to take his (the flag-lieutenant's) leave to bring the ship
in he might; and this the captain accepted. These two
enormous ships, the one of 2,367 tons, the other up-
wards of 1,800, each cost the country upwards of 50s.
per ton per day. The case of the latter ship is peen.
liar!y bad, as she only brought 25 invalids altogether;
and they might have been sent into harbour in one of
the ship's boats an hour after arrive!, if the Crown could
not spare one of the thousand in port for that duty.
The fact is, some experienced, active officer who knows
the work and how to do it, is, and has ,ong been, wanted
at Portsmouth as an unfettered and responsible manager
of transports.
The Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Wilcox, went
out of Portsmouth harbour, after fitting her new
cylinder covers, &c., on Saturday, and anchored at Spit-
head while she took in powder, &c., after which she
steamed away for the Downs, to join the guard of honour
for the Emperor of the French under Vice-Admiral Sir
Thomas Cochrane. The Crane, 6, Commander Miller,
sailed in company.
The Rosamond, 6, paddle sloop, Commander S. L.
Crofton, arrived at Spithead from Devonport yesterday
morning, with 20 new boats of various descriptions, and
new stores, and was reported to leave in the evening for
the Downs, taking despatches for Sir Thomas Cochrane,
and parcels, &c., for the squadron, which were put on
board her by the steanetug Pigmy.
The Great Britain steam transport left Portsmouth on
Saturday morning with the troops we reported on Sa-
turday.
The Leander freight ship sailed from Portsmouth har-
bour yesterday. with supplies for the Black Sea fleet,
shipped from the Royal Clarence Yard.
