Her Majesty's Coastguard tender Argus, Commander

dockyard, on her way to Messrs. Penn's works, for repair;
and additions to her boilers, which are to be fitted with

cupolas to prevent the escape of steam. Commodore Ryder
and Capt. Johnson, commanding the Pembroke Coastguard

service ship at Harwich, having mustered the steam reserve
and Coastguard ships at Chatham yesterday, landed at
Woolwich dockyard, and, accompanied by Commodore
Dunlop, C. 8., and Mr. Turner, inspected the experimental
iron-cased ships Enterprise and Pallas, is course of fitment

and construction, and after wards proceeded to London.
Ono hundred and seven petty officers, seamen, and lad

from the flagship Fisgard yesterday left Woolwich to join
the new flagship of Admiral Warren, the Bombay, at

Chatham, destined for the south• east coast of America.

The War Department transport Petrel sailed from Chatham
yesterday, with 60 tons of solid and hollow Armstrong and
other shot for the 110-pounder, 68 pounder, 40-pounder, and
other guns on board the Irresistible, 67, 400-horse power,
fitting for the Coastguard service at the Nore. In accord-
ance with instructions received at Chatham, the Irresistible
will be stationed at Southampton, and not at Hull, as was
previously ordered.
The Cork Company's steamship Cormorant, 800 tons
(Apt. Croft, which arrived yesterday morning at Plymouth,
reports having been in collision, off Queenstown, with a
boat belonging to her Majesty's screw steam Coastguard
ship Hawke, 6, Captain Edward Codd, about ten o'clock
on Thursday morning. It is stated that the Cormorant
was steaming down harbour, and that it was the intention
of those in the boat to come alongside. The boat, however,
got under the cutwater, and the oars were not got out in
sufficient time to clear her. The engines had been stopped,
but the Cormrant had sufficient way on her to turn the
boat over. Six of the crew were rescued by ropes thrown
from the steamer's bows. Others were carried under her
bottom, and it is feared that some were drowned. The
Cormorant obtained no reliable information before she left.

On Thursday the boat belonging to the steamtug Scotia;

commanded by Mr. Sleep, was proceeding under canvass
from that vessel in Hamoaze for the entrance basin in
Devonport dockyard, and, when crossing the bows of the
Ajax, 60, her sail jibbed, she turned keel up, and Mr.
Sleep, two men, and two bays were thrown overboard. All
were saved but one of the boys, whose body was found yes-
terday in the boat entangled in the sheet of the sail.
