Tus CRYSTAL PALACE•—In consequence of the
vote of the House last night, the Crystal Palace will be im-
diately sold to private parties, whose offer of 70,0004 has
already been conditionally accepted--the condition being
that the bargain should not take effect if the building was
retained on its present site. The work of removal will
commence on the hat of May, the opening day of the Ezlii-
bition hot year.

The Admiral sent_ the Oberon and Medina packets to afford
relief, which was impossible, however, to effect; for which
act of kindness and attention to the commercial interests of
the place, the Chamber of Commerce has addressed a letter
of thanks to Admiral Dundas, to which he replied, stating it
to be " his duty and earnest desire to promote and protect
the commercial interests of our country, and to render every
assistance to the vessels of all nations that may be in
distress."
On Tuesday we had a regatta. On board the flag-ship
and the Bellerophon several guests were invited, and
finished the evening by a dance. On the Bellerophon a
marine went to the maintopmast-head ; on this one of the
sailors, simply not to be out-done, ran up the rigging to
the maintopmast-head, and thence mounted to the main
truck, where, standing, he coolly waved his hands and arms
about, as fearlessly as if he had been on terra firma. He
then undressed and dressed himself again, finishing his
daring exploit by crawling down the backstays head-fore-
most, amid the prolonged and boisterous cheers, not only of
his own messrnates, but of the crews of the neighbouring
ships. The feat was a most daring one (the main truck of
the Bellerophon—l have it from Lord Paulett—not being
more than a foot), and one perhaps that not ten men in the
fleet could or would perform.
On Monday last 18 men were invalided at the hospital,
among them a naval cadet of the Vengeance, his disease
being caries of the bones.
A court of inquiry assembled on board the Ceylon on
Monday, Captain Goldsmith, Captain Codd, and Commander
Tatham, on Mr. De Rutzen, of the Trafalgar, a midshipman,
who it seems has been amusing himself with getting grog
into his cabin, and making a sentry drunk. It is said he
will be sent home to learn his duties better, before he is
allowed to re-enter the navy.
The Turkish frigate Feis Bahri, which arrived here on
the 16th inst., with his Excellency Suleiman Pasha and
suite, left Tunis on the 21st. She shortly after met with an
accident; a man fell overboard, and on four sailors getting '
into a boat to lower it, it broke from the davits and all were
immersed in the sea, but, except the first, who was drowned,
all were saved. She is now in dock repairing.
PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 29.—The Amazon, 26, Capt. Barker,
' arrived at Spithead this morning from the China station and
the Cape of Good Hope. She is 95 days out from Trinco-
malee, and has run over a distance of 51,076 miles during
her commission. She has had perpetual summer the whole
of her time, having been two summers at Hong-Kong, the
intermediate time being the summer season in the Straits of
Malacca, with Captain Troubridge as senior officer; the re-
mainder has been on the Singapore station with Captain
Barker as 'senior officer. She has lost by death during her
commission 2 officers, 7 seamen, 1 boy, and 3 marines, and
has invalided 28 seamen, 1 boy and 2 marines. Eight officers,
133 subordinate officers, seamen, marines, and boys, out
of those who left England in the ship, have returned. The
only changes among the gunroom officers are the master and
surgeon. The Amazon sailed from Trincomalee on the 24th
of January, and arrived at the Cape on the evening of the
2d of March, and sailed on the afternoon of the 7th. Castor
and Radamanthus were at anchor in Simon's Bay,
and the Styx in Table Bay. While at Simon's Bay she
received on board fifty-eight officers, marines, and boys,
being the survivors of the Birkenhead, whom she had
brought to England. She arrived at St. Helena on the
morning of the 16th ult., and sailed on the afternoon of the
same day. She arrived at Ascension on the morning of Sun-
day the 21st, where she was detained until Monday after-
noon to bring home eight invalids, five of whom were en-
gaged and wounded in the expedition against Lagos. The
Tortoise, Volcano steamer, and three merchant vessels, were
at the anchorage; the Wolverine had sailed from Ascension
for Sierra Leone, the Gambia, and England on the 18th of
March. Two courts of inquiry were to take place on the
arrival of the Commodore—one between Lieutenants Puddi-
come and Wood, of the goys' Marines; Mr. Sturdle, the
master, had applied for one on himself, Captain Kitchen
having accused him of assembling the officers on the
island at his house, and persuading them to op-
pose his (Captain Kitchen's) orders. On the even-
ing of the 31st of March, the Amazon, when in
latitude s min. north, longitude 21 deg.
s 1 deg. 56
40 min.' west, being nearly becalmed, was struck by a sudden
squall, and eight sails out of thirteen, which were set at
the time, were split and blown away. On the 31st she com-
municated with the barque Alice Maude, bound to London.
On the 21st of April, lat. 43 deg. 30 min. north, lon. 22 deg.
20 min. west, exchanged numbers with the mail steamer
Parana. On the 27th, off Scilly, she supplied the Dutch
schooner Pomona with water and salt provisions. 65 days
from Havannah ; wind bound.
The Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson,
arrived at Spithead this morning from the Pacific, to be paid
off. She has been three years and eight months in commis-
sion, about three years of which has been on the Pacific sta-
tion, where she has been very actively employed, having
visited nearly every port between the parallel of Cape Horn
and our possessions north to Vancouver's Island, and ren-
dered valuable assistance to British merchant shipping, espe-
cially at San Francisco, where, during the late gold mania
the difficulty of obtaining seamen was severely felt. The
Driver, during her commission, has run over a distance of
77,000 miles, about one-half of which has been performed
under steam. Her machinery, Ssc., is in a high state of effi-
ciency, and will require but a trifling expense to fit her for
another commission. The Driver touched at the Falkland
Islands ; the colony was doing well.
Died, on the 27th March, Mr. R. Langland, passenger, of
Glasgow; and on the 24th April Mr. J. Lockart Stephens,
late acting-master of the Driver; also Mr. Howell, subordi-
nate officers' steward, of the Conflict. She brings freight
252,0001., consigned to the Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel ci
Portsmouth. Rate of exchange at Rio on the 18th was 2- e.
per milreis. The squadron was in the Plate. The Ea
brig was at Rio, on her passage to the East Indies.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, has been paid off
at this port this day.
The Echo steam-tug went off to the Driver at
