THE SUN LONDON, IV,IONDAY EVENING. JUNE 11, 1855

Royal Highness Prince Albert visited Aldershott on
Friday last, and it was at one time believed that the
Queen would go there on Saturday. The rumour to
that effect, however, proved unfounded, and her Majesty
is not now expected until the arrival of the Guards and
other regular corps, which will take place in a few days.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Rosamond, 6, paddle steam-sloop, left Spithead
yesterday morning for the Black Sea, with the three
new mortar boats in tow. The Centaur, 6, paddle-fri-
gate, Captain Clifford, left Spithead on Saturday morn-
ing for the Baltic, with supernumerary seamen and ma-
rines for the flag-ship Duke of Wellington, and let-
ters, &c.,. for the fleet. The steam-transport East
Anglian, No. 162, which arrived on Friday last from the
East, with damaged powder and other stores, left on Sa-
turday for Deptford, to unload. The Rhadamanthus,
steam-transport, Master-Commander Belam, sailed from
Portsmouth on Friday evening for Woolwich. The
Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, left
Portsmouth on Saturday for the eastward with super-
numeraries. The steam-transport Earl of .A.berdeen ar-
rived in Portsmouth harbour from London yesterday
morning. It is reported in Portsmouth dockyard that on
the great screw three-decker Marlborough, 131, being
launched (about the middle of August), a mammoth three-
decker, of 150 guns, is to be built on her slip, to be about
27 feet longer than the Marlborough, for which the
slip will have to be lengthened. It is further reported
that the timbers for this gigantic ship are being connected,
and that her name will be Victoria.
The Agincourt, 72, having been found defective, the
Implacable, 72, has been commissioned at Plymouth, by
Captain Lowe, as a training ship for seamen and boys ;
she will be stationed in the Sound.
The hired steam transport Gerrnanie, Capt. Neinebeer,
No. 207, is fitting at the Devonport Dockyard to convey
Land Transport Corps to the Crimea ; and the sailing
transport Shooting Star is preparing to convey to Gib-
raltar the Northampton Militia, now quartered at De-
vonport.
Letters dated April 4, at Valparaiso, have been re-
ceived at Plymouth from the Trincomalee, 24, Captain
W. Houston. She was to leave on the sth, to join the
squadron for Kamskatchka. Officers and crew all well.
Captain Patey, R.N., late Emigration Officer at Glas-
gow, has been appointed to that duty at Plymouth.
The Swinger mortar vessel arrived at Sheerness from
the Thames at 5.45 p.m. on Saturday.
The Lizard steam-vessel, Lieutenant Christopher, has
left Sheerness for the Downs.
The Hearty, gun-boat, left Sheerness for sea at 7 p.m.
on Friday last.
The Volage, magazine store-ship, left Sheerness at
1.30 p.m. on Saturday, for the Baltic.
The Alban, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant
William E. Fisher, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday.
She has been to the Hague communicating with the
authorities at Scheveningen on particular service. She
is under orders to proceed to Shoeburyness to convey a
detachment of the Royal Artillery thence for shipment
in the transport Clarendon for Corfu. Other detach.
ments of various companies are to embark for Sheerness
in the same vessel.

The Glutton, floating battery, Capt. Arthur Cumming,
was put out of No. 1 dry dock, at Sheerness, on Satur-
day night. The blocks will be immediately prepared to
receive the Trusty. The rigging of the Glutton has
again been altered.
The Calliope, 26, Captain Fitzgerald, which arrived at
Plymouth on Friday, left England on the 2d of March,
1851, and reached Sydney en the 20th of July. She
taen entered upon a service of civilisation, by visiting,
with one or two exceptions, every port in the islands of
New Zealand, and, after ca ling at Hobart Town, per-
formed the next year a similar duty among the Feejee

Lies?, including the peual settlement of Norfolk Island

and then returned to Sydney. Captain Sir Everard
Home, who put her in commission, and whose loss was
felt by all hands, died Nov. 3, 1853, from a complaint
which was increased by devotion to his profession. While
in Australia the Calliope lost several of her crew, who
were Leolaced in the colony, but from her detachment of
Mariner, commanded by Lieut. Leslie, only one deserted.
The frigate's passage from Australia to Cape Horn pre-
sents some remarkable features, especially at the present
moment, when a knowledge of 'he shortest and most free
route is co valuable. She left Melbourne February 27,
and was off Cape Horn March 30. Her commander en-
deavoured to preserve the parallel of 50 degrees S.
Hail fell on the 24th of March, hi lat. 51 6, long.
93 14 W. ; hail and snow on the 23th, in lat. 55, long.
76. Off the Horn they were in 50 S. In this passage
they experienced no check ; strong breezes prevailed
occasionally, but no inconvenienee from sea or wind,
and there would have been no difficulty in heaving to,
if necessary, at any time. Excepting four days, au ob-
serva,tion was taken regularly. Winds chiefly from the
westward, varying from S. W. to N.N.W. ; force, 7 to
8 ; and four days only reached 10 or 11 ; weather gene-
rally overcast and cloudy. The lowest latitude, 5t3 10
8 , was rya le on the evening of the 28th of March.
Lowest thermometer, 31 deg., was felt after passing the
ilorn, and when near the Falkland Islands. Lieutenant
D'Ar,iy, of the surveying vessel Herald, 8, Captain Den-
uain, on promotion, and Mr. Chevalier, from Rio Janeiro,
came home passengers in the Calliope. Her freight from
Melbourne is 7,5000 z. of gold, and not 70,5000 z., as
telegraphed on Friday.
Thelricate Juno, 26, Captain S. G. Fremantle, ar-
rived at Sydney on the 30th of January, ant, in conse-
quence of the appearance of smallpox, was put under
quarantine, but relieved again previous to the depar-
ture of the Ca+licme, on the 7th of February. The
stoop Fantome, 12, Commander Jo!in 11. Genus, left

.`,leibourne on the 221 February, for New ,Zealand.

The Calliope has bc!en towed up Harnoaz-?,, where she is
to be dismantled and put out of commission. Her crew
will be paid down and transferred ti the Sanspareil and
udder ships.

The Perseverance, new screw steam storeship, Cap-
tain Henry Harris, proceeded on a trial trip of her ma-
chinery on Saturday. She left her moorings at Sheer-
ness at 8 a.m., and was tried running up and down be-
tween the Nore light-vessel and the Mouse light-vessel.
Her average speed was 12. knots per hour, taken by
positive distance run against time. Her engines making
61 revolutions, with a pressure of steam of 141 b on the
square inch, everything worked very satisfactorily and
smooth. She was also tried under canvass, and is re-
ported under her reduced masts and spars to be all that
can be desired. She has been surveyed by the authori-
ties, and reported fully capable of accommodating 800
troops, in addition to her complement of officers and
crew, leaving ample cabin accommodation.
The Childers, 12 guns, sailed from Sheerness on Satur-
day evening.
On Wednesday a large foreign bark, lying in Ipswich
dock, under Austrian colours, called the " Nina, com-
manded by Capt. Stepanovich, was seized by the autho-
rity of the Admiralty. She is of 304 tons burden, and
brought a cargo of linseed from Glubook, in the Black
Sea, consigned to Messrs. Webber and Co., of Ipswich.
She was originally an English vessel, the Ocean having
been built in Sunderland, in 1847, but she was purchased
by her present owner and sailed under Russian colours,
and continued to do so until September, 1853, when she
assumed those of Austria.

On Friday 11 officers and 366 men of the 54th Regi-
ment of Foot, accompanied by 28 women and 6i chil-
dren, arrived at Doncaster from Sunderland, under the
command of Major Moffatt. On Saturday morning they
left Doncaster at 7 o'clock for London, having been
ordered to replace the 94th, who have just left the Tower.
The above number of privates included 95 men of the
Northumberland Militia, and several small parties of
volunteers from other regiments. Most of them were
very young men. The head-quarters of the 54th are at
present at Gibraltar, where they are waiting for draughts
from the depot at home previously to being moved for-
ward to the Crimea.

On Friday morning four companies of the 40th (2d
Somersetshire) Foot, numbering 411 men and 10 officers,
left Galway for Melbourne, where the head-quarters of
the regiment have been located for the past three years.
When the troops arrived in Kingstown, they formed
into companies, and went on board the transport ship
Windsor, 1,100 tons, Captain Selly. The draught goes
out in command of Major Neil.
One major, one captain, three lieutenants, and 247
men of the Swiss Legion arrived at Dover on Saturday.
They are fine young men ; 200 more are expected to ar-
rive at Dover to-morrow.

The huts at Shorncliffe, near Sandgate, which are in-
tended to accommodate 5,000 men, are nearly com-
pleted, and it is stated that they will be ready for occupa-
tion on Wednesday or Thursday next. The whole of
the huts are already erected, but the sinking of the wells
and the sanitary arrangements for the camp are still in
an unfinished state. The casemate barracks at the Castle
at Dover overlooking the sea are in progress, and in a
short time there will be accommodation there for a large
number of troops.

[ADVERTISPIENT.I--AMODg the numerous extraordinary cures
without Medicine effected by Du Barry's delicious health-
restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, the following is not the
least remarkable :—" 59, Union-street, Third District, New
Orleans, March 13, 1855.—Dear Sir,—Since 1838 I had been
afflicted with a complaint that neither I nor my physician
could qualify. It first began by an excessive thirst, so that
I was fain to drink daily from 30 to 40 tumblers of water,
the greatest thirst being during the digestive process. A
strange feeling above the fundament' followed that unusual
thirst. It came on with intolerable itchings, and next as if
an edged tool was cutting into it. These symptoms were
followed by colic, and finally by a diarrhoea. Originally these
paroxysms came on yearly ; after a while, several times in the
course of the year; and for some years back almost every
month, until at last every week ; so that for seventeen years
I have been labouring under an insufferable affliction, deprived
of sleep, and so dizzy at times that I could not help myself ;
my stomach would fail me, and I thus became a helpless ener-
vated invalid. At last, on the 15th of June, 1854, I was
taken down with an alvine flux and killing pains in the bowels.
Often as I went to bed at night I thought I should never see
morning. My medical attendant an 1 friend, in whom was all
my trust, could do nothing to alleviate my sufferngs, and
sent me to one of his colleagues, whose attendance proved as
unsuccessful ; all the remedies prescribed failing to afford me
any relief. It was at this stage of my disease that, on the sth
of September last, I luckily met ono of my friends, who told
me that Mr. J. B. Monier had passed through the ramo
ordeal, and had been radically cured 113 r Du Barry's Ro-
valcnta Arabica. Thereupon I immediately began to make
use of it; and soon after felt relieved ; and the extritor-
doina,y change for the better I have gradually experienced
owing to that excellent farina, induces me to
bT,oliimieeNrni.-e2,lbt..h:cllrrliaa,m completely cured. —F. B. BERNARD,
