Her Majesty's .steam-frigate Simoom arrived at
Quebec on Sunday morning, May 23, with detach-,
wents of troops of the 23d, 54th, 66th, and 71st Regi-
ments, and immediately after she cast anchor fired a
salute, which was returned by the artillery from Dur-
ham terrace in the afternocn. The Simoom had a very
rough passage out, only using her engines about four
days during the voyage. Off the banks of Newfound-
land she encountered 'a very heavy gale, in.which her
main yard vies broken and two boats carried away. The
detachments of the 54th and 66th Regiments stationed
at Quebec) wero landed on the following day, and, pre-
ceded by the bands of their respective corps, marched
tip to the barracks; those for the 23d and 71st Regi-
ments proceeded up to Montreal the same night, in the
steamer Quebec, to join their regiments at that station.
The Emperor of Rustia's steam-yacht Alxandris
arrived at Copenhagen after a fine pesasge of sixty-one
hours from Blaqkwall. She there found the Victoria
(formerly the Peterhoff) and the Tourist all ready for
starting, and they left Copenhagen together for St.
Petersburgh.
The Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hewlett, is now taking in
her powder and her shells. On her trial on Saturday
along the measured mile she far surpassed in speed all
other screw-line-of-battle-ships. In six runs she averaged
8i knots; but for the first four at full steam she made
an average of 9 knots. This may be attributed to her
beautifully placed engines, their excellent working, and
freedom from friction. She makes 12 or 14 more screw
revolutions than either of the corresponding vessels of
her class, and consequently her speed is superior by 1k
knots. Mandalay and Field are the makers.
