N ORT II AMERICAN AND WEST INDIA STATION.—
The British fleet on the North American station has sailed
from Halifax for the West Indies. The flagship will winter
at Jamaica instead of Bermuda, as usual, owing to the
yellow fever prevailing in the islands. The Challenger
will remain at Halifax until January, when she will be
relieved by a smaller vessel of the squadron and proceed to
England,
