PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty's iron steamer
Jackal!, Lieut.-Commander N. B. Bedingfield, arrived
this morning from the coast of Africa. She left Ascen-
sion on the 13th of May, Sierra Leone the 30th of May;
arrived at Madeira on the 18 ;h o: June, and left on the 22d.
At Ascension the Commodore; the Tortoise, Capt. W.
H. Kitchen; the Dolphin, Lieut.-Commander Wood,
late Ist of the Alecto; the Myrmidon, Lieut.-Commander
Joliffe; and the Alecto. The brigantine Spy, 3, Lieut.-
Commander H. B. Beresford, was about to leave for the
South Coast. At Sierra Leone the Polyphemus, 5,
paddlewheel steamer, Commander Charles G. Phillips.
The Bloodhound had burst her boiler, and had it repaired
at Ascension. She sailed on the 28th of May for a cruise
to the Gallinas. The Harpy, tender to the Centaur,
was daily expected from the coast of America at Cape
Verde, where she would have to perform quarantine.
The Governor of Madeira was gone on a visit to the
Western Isles. The crews of the African fleet were
generally healthy, with the exception of those belonging
to the Harlequin, Myrmidon, and others employed
up the rivers. The Jackall has been on the coast
of Africa two years under her present commander,
and has been constantly employed in the va-
rious rivers in the Bights of Benin and Biafra,
with her Majesty's Consul. Mr. John Beecroft.
From the nature of her employment, she lost daring
her commission four officers and ten men. She left
Ascension cn the 13th of May. On her passage across
a serious leak was discovered, under the starboard con-
denser; however, by working with two wing boilers at
51b. pressure (the middle boilers being worn out and
past repair), she succeeded in steaming to Sierra Leone
by the 21st of May. On examining the leak in harbour,
a large jelly fish was discovered protruding through the
holp, and partially stopping the leak; „to, stop it eff.:c-
- -tually it beatific+ necessary to cut aiyiepritilit piem
meal frorer inboard. When this was Atetinplished;, the
rush of water was so "great that, although the' If team-
pumps were kept working, it was found necessary to run
the Jackal! on shore. She was detained nine days to
repair, and then proceeded on her homeward voyage,
touching at Cape Verde and Madeira for coals, and bring-
ing a mail from the hlttor place.
