son's is a curiously-constructed boat, built of iron, like
two crooked cucumbers with their ends meeting, made
hollow and air-tight. The deck is a platform. Between
these she has no cabin. She has two low lug-sails and a
jib. She is about forty feet long. She does not seem
to work well, for in beating out of the harbour to-day she
had always to use a lee oar; from her shape and bearing
she cannot capsize.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—We have experienced fcr
the last three or four days very boisterous weather,
with strong gales of wind from the southward and west-
ward.

Her Majesty's iron screw steam-frigate Megmra,
Master-Commander Barlow, has arrived in the Sound.
She departed from the Cape of Good Hope on the 15th
of April, and was left at St. Vincent's on the 24th of
May by the General Screw Steam Shipping Company's
packet Hellespont, which sailed from the Cape on the
2d of May, and arrived here on the 6th of June. Pas-
sage by the Hellespont, 35 days; by the Megfera, 61
days.

The Megmra left the Cape on the 15th of April, called
at Ascension on the 29th, sailed therefrom on the 6th of
May, reached the Cape de Verds on the 19th of May,
sailed on the 28th, and arrived at Plymouth on the 16th
of June, at nine, P.M. She was 49 days at sea on the
passage home, and is reported to have behaved well.
Her average speed is 6 to 7 knots; under canvas, in a
strong brcers, she has made 10 knots. From Sunday,
at noon, to Wednesday, at eight, P.N. she made 658
miles. The crew have experienced no sickness since
her absence from t ngland, and she is now in very cre-
ditable order.

The Megasra brings about 200 invalids from the
South African army, in chargo of Captain Harrison, 2d
Queen's, who was wounded in the arm at the Water-
kloof; three soldiers and one marine died on the pas-
sage.
Passengers—Colonel Sutton, Cape Mounted Rifles;
Captain Duff, 74th; Lieutenant Sir David Baird, 74th;
Captain Addison, 2d Queen's; Dr. Browne, 98th; Dr.
Lloyd, Rifle Brigade; Lieutenants Pike, O'Reilly, and
Bunee, R.N.; Mr. Russel!, master of the Seringapatam;
Mr. Arthur, mate; and Messrs. Sullivan and nankin,
michhipmen; Mr. and Mrs. Smalley, and Mr.Beechy.
About four days after departure from St. Vincent's an
act of great daring was performed. The ship was going
six to seven knots through the water, when the captain
of the maintop unfortunately fell overboard from the
mainyard. Mr. Sullivan, with all his clothes on, imme-
diately jumped from the poop, a height of 20 feet, into
the sea, and happily succeeded in seizing the man, who
could not swim, and in keeping him above water until
they were both rescued by the ship's boat.
The Megmra, April 26, at 2 30, P.M., in lat. 14 44 S.,
and long. 6 32 W., exchanged colours with an American
barque, showing a blue flag, with G. W. in it.
Tuesday, May 4, at 9, P.N., weighed from Ascension,
leaving there her Majesty's ships Tortoise, Polyphemus,
Myrmidon, Jackal steam-vessel, Spy and Dolphin bri-
gantines; Jackal (Lieut. Bedingfield commanding, all
well) waiting for the Commodore's arrival to proceed to
England.
May 10, at noon, in lat. 0 56 N., long. 16 25 W., hove
to and communicated with the barque Eliza Thornton,
out thirty-six days from London, and bound to Batavia,
all well. Also communicated with the English barque
Bengal Merchant, forty-five days out from London, all
well.
May 16, at 12 30, P.M., in lat. 12 37 N., long. 19.40
W., exchanged numbers with the English ship Dal-
housie.
June 13, at 9 30, Lar., in lat. 42 45 N., long. 15 10
W., exchanged numbers with the English barque Dorcas.
Mar Majesty's frigate Madagascar is ordered to be put
in commission, and was taken out of dock yesterday.
The steam-vessel Sprightly arrived on Wednesday
from Portsmouth with seamen paid off from the Gladia-
tor, and seamen gunners for the Spartan.

The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail
packet Qaeen of the South, Captain Hyde, which lest
on the 15th with mails for the Cape and Calcutta, put
back into the Sound last evening. It is stated that she
has some three or four feet of water in her hold, not
caused by a leak in the ship, but by some defects in the
pipes connected with her machinery, as when her en-
gines are at work she makes water, but when they are
unemployed she does not, and the water is said to have
flooded the engine-room before it appeared in the other
parts of the ship.
Orders have been received to pay off the Queen, 116.
Captain Wise, all standing. In consequence of the
change of the intentions of the Admiralty with regard
to this ship, a new set of pay-books will have to be pre-
pared, by which the discharge of the crew will be de-
layed some twelve days or a fortnight. The officers in
charge of stores and provisions are to remain on board
of her until superseded. When re-commissioned, it is
said, she will have a reduced complement as an ad-
vanced guard-ship.

SHEERNESS, THURSDAY MORNING.—Her Majesty's
ship Vestal, 26, Captain Cospatrick Baillie Hamilton.
has been warped into the fitting basin.and placed un-
derneath the sheers. She has taken in her lower
masts, and will be forthwith removed into the dry dock
to have her bottom examined, caulked, and re•coppered
where necessary. Her officers and men are hulked on
board the St. Lawrence. Although the pendant was only
hoisted a few days since, nearly the whole number of
seamen allotted to her have volunteered to serve in her.
For ships of her class blue jackets evince a preference.
Her Majesty's ship Achille, 76, having had a portion
of new copper placed on her bottom, and other defects
made good, was removed yesterday from the dry dock
to the north side of the fitting basin.
Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Wildfire is
undergoing a thorough rent in the discharging basin.
Her Majesty's ship Supirb, 80, Captain E. Purcell,
will not be paid off until the 19th instant.
Her Majesty's ship Howe, 120, will be under the hands of the dockyard artificers for several monthsto:
come. The expenses of putting her into a state of effi-
ciency are eftimated at 40,0001.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
HAMPTON RAGES—TewaszetY .
The Hampton people, contrary to the predictions of the
weather-wise, brought off their " grand dav'ian-vwahyalled
is
so, seeing that the most important racing -
the first day, it would be hard to determine—withaaly ocn
cess as complete as it was unexpected. The weather ir:tuhe.
morning was threatening, but a shower or two between ten
and twelve o'clock failed to damp the courage of the metro-
politan lieges, hence the railway company started well filled
trains every ten or fifteen minutes; the road and the river
were patronized to an extent that carried us back to the
"good old times" of the turf; and the gathering on the
Hurst, by the time fixed for the first race, was really " pro-
digious;" taking it numerically, we may venture to assert
that it has never been surpassed. To keep such a mob
under, or to clear the course, required more than ordinary
exertion on the part of the police, and it is bare justice to
them to say, that they acquitted themselves with equal
tact, energy, and success ; we did not hear of a
single accident during the progress of the racing,
and although the collisions after its termination
were numerous, we believe there was nothing more
serioes than broken wheels and panels. To expect a
punctual attention to the " order of running," as regarded
time, would have been simply absurd, and no one can have
been surprised that the amateurs, who should have been in
the saddle at thirty-five minutes past four, did not" per-
form" mail after six. Taking the meeting as a whole, we
may congratulate the lessees in having given satisfaction to
the public, and reaped for themselves a most abundant har-
vest; the receipts at the stands, and for the admission of
carriages into the privileged enclosure, must have been enor-
mous. Tempted by the shortness of the drive from Clare-
mont, and the fineness of the weather, their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess de 'Nemours and the Duc
d'Aumale, attended by General Salem?, visited the course,
and remained during the greater part of the afternoon. The
Dukes accepted the invitation of the Hon. Captain Roue,
the only steward in attendance, and witnessed most of the
races from their stand. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge again honoured the races with his p.'esence; we
also noticed the of Drogheda, Lords Fredericks

the running to the distance, where Butterfly, who had passed
