horrible state, the stencil arising from which
is most sickening and the sight revolting. The exa-
mining board and party were compelled to use profusely

hope of keeping off, pestilence. To-day, however, they
deemed it prudent to desist from further exposure for a
partee of which will be taken up with the filthy
tngiinormveteeap'strteiotrgoc guardation, as there were upwards of 6,000 canisters
to examine at the commencement. This staff was sup-
plied to the Admiralty and delivered into store at the
Clarence-yard last November twelvemonth, warranted
equal to sample and to keep sound and consumable for
five years. We are informed it came from Galata, in
Moldavia. The few canisters containing meat fit for
human beings to eat have been distributed, under the
direction of Captain Superintendent Parry, to the de-
serving poor of the neighbourhood, and those containing
the putrid stock have been conveyed to Spithead in
lighters and thrown overboard. The consequences of
such frauds as this cannot be too seriously estimated.
Suppose, for instance, Franklin and his party to have
been supplied with such food as that condemned, and re-
lying upon it as their mainstay in the time of need, the
very means furnished for saving their lives may have
bred a pestilence or famine among them and been their
destruction.
The Champion, 14, Commander J. M. Hayes, was
inspected this afternoon at Spithead, for the Port-Ad-
miral by Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., the Flag Captain,
paTidhe off .
after which she came into harbour to be dismantled and
Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, is expected
to go to,Spithead about the 27th inst.
The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, Master-Com-
mander Salmond, embarked detachments of troops to-
day and left at dusk with them for Queenstown. The
troops consisted of draughts of the 12th Lancers and
43d Foot.
The ship's company of the Neptune, 120, ordinary
depot ship, will be paid cff from the Britannia's books on
Friday next.
The Echo tug brought up from Cowes yesterday and
to-day several companies of the 67th Regiment, which
landed at the dockyard, and marched thence to the
Brighton Railway terminus at Landport, whence they
proceeded by special train for Dover, stopping at Brigh-
ton for the night. They replace the 60th Rifles at Dover.
The ship's company of her Majesty's yacht Victoria
and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
G.C.H., were paid six months' wages at the Pay-office
yesterday.
Mr; Stevens, late gunner of the Cockatrice, and a few
nvalids, came home passengers in the Champion, which
has been in commission three years and eleven swaths;
she has been a very comfortable ship, and has been re-
markably healthy, not having lost a single person from
sickness since she was commissioned. She was inspected
and exercised at gunnery practice this afternoon by Cap-
tain B. Martin, of the Victory. She will take out her
powder this evening, and come into harbour to-morrow,
to prepare for paying off.
A seizure of 76 tubs and 1 flagon of foreign brandy
and Geneva, together with a boat, one Englishman and
three Frenchmen, was eff nred on the 26th ultimo, by
Mr. Charles Van Zuilicom (late East India Company's
service), chief officer and the crew of the Portland
station.
