From the Times, March 28. —"lt is not often that we light
upon a new novel of so mach meet and interest as 'Barbara's

well mank:ed story, clearly cut characters, and sentiments
expressed with an exquisit‘, elocution. It is a book which

manned from the. Asia, was under weigh, and in another
half hour every boat in the division, comprising the Tyrian,
Fancy, Foam, Stork, Albacore, Earnest, and Charger, 'was
clear of the harbour tnd steaming for t7lpithead. Here Capt.
Scott, C. 8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and flag captain to,
the commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, Vice-Admiral Sir
M. Seymour, joined the little fleet in the Sprightly steam
tender, and, assuming command, led the way outside, where
a lengthened series of manoeuvres under steam was Bono
through, and the crew exercised in firing. Soon after noon
they stood in for the harbour channel, and made an attack
on Southsea beach, which was defended by two batteries of
field artillery, under review by Lord W. Pilule%

The Shannon East Indianian, 1,292 tons register, Capt.
C. J. Daniels, R.N.R.. arrived at Spithead yesterday morn-
ing from Calcutta, with the headquarters of the 13th (Ist
Somersetsbire or Prince Albert's Regiment of Light Infan-
try) Foot on board, a few invalids and time•expired men,
and a number of private passengers. The 13th consisted of
Lieut.-Col. Muter and Mrs. Muter, Capt. Rowley, Mrs.
Rowley, and three children, Capt. Williams, Lieu's. Gill,
Cox, Brooks and Fenwick, Ensign O'Callaghan, Quarter..
master Hober, Assist.-Sorg. Stewart, 296 men, 17 women,
and 17 children.. Two soldiers died during the passage.
Soon after the arrival of the Shannon her commander
received orders to proceed on to Dover, where the 13th are
ordered to be quartered, and at 3 p.m. the ship was towed
out to the southward clear of the shoals, and recommenced
her voyage under all plain sail, with the wind light from
S.E. Previously the invalids and time expired men ware
landed at Portsmouth.

Lieut. W. W. Anderson has been appointed to her Ma.
jesty's ship Euryalus as supernumerary.

The Royal Artillery stationed at Portsmouth garrison and
field batteries were yesterday inspected on Southsea-com.
mon by Major-General Lord W. Paula, C.B. The force
assembled on the ground consisted of eight batteries of
garrison artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Long-
den, and the K battery of the 4th brigade and B battery of
the 9th brigade, with sin 12-pounder Armstrongs in each
battery, under the command of Major Milman, the whole
force being under the command'of Col. Warde, C. 8., the
officer commanding the artillery of the garrison and district,
The ground was taken up at the south end of the common,
the garrison batteries being in the centre, with a field bat-
tery on each flank. Soon after the force was formed up in
position Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet arrived in front of the
line, accompanied by Col. llackwell, Assist.-Adjt. Gen. ;
Col. Shadwell, Assist-Quartermaster-Gen.; Capt. Paulet,
A.D.C., and Town Major Breton, and was received with
a general salute. After he had wade a rather minute
inspection of the line from right to left tho ceremony of
marching past was carried out, he field batteries passing
first in demi-batteries and the garrison in batteries, and
following in batteries of guns in close order and in grand
divisions, the field batteries closing this portion of the
proceedings by going by at a trot in batteries in open order.
Everything had a look of efficiency and seemed worthy the
reputation of the royal regiment. As eoon as the marching
past was concluded the garrison, batteries were for a time
marched aside, and the field batteries bringing up their guns
unlimbered and opened fire from right to left on the line of
sea beach on their front. A variety of similar evolutions fol-
lowed, guns being limbered and unlimbered, and front
changed and fire opened in different directions according to
the direction of the commanding officer. Considerable inte-
rest was added to one part of the mimic fight when the bat.
talcs were drawn up in a line parallel with the sea-shore,
and were firing rapidly seaward, on the sudden appearance
close inshore of eight ecrewgunbcats, which opened a heavy
fire upon the field batteries from their 7 and 8 .inch guns.
Thcir deep boom drowned the slighter report of the 12-
pouncrers on shore.
