were the only casualties aloft. 'Arrogant got on shore
coming out of Lisbon, and it is said has knocked cff her
fake keel. This accounts for her being last.

gar, always astern and to leeward—and frequently out
of sight; this is a 'real misfortune, for she is a noble
ship, and it is admitted that she is well handled; Bri-
tannia seems.to sail fairly; but she has had no trial with
the other ships.
" The system of exercise is much as usual in routine,
with some hurry
and
confusion, but then there is not so
much of it, and doubtless when the Admiral is familiar
with the state of all the ship, he will relax this teasing
system, in which accidents are frequently occurring, and
in three instances, it is believed, have terminated fatally.
It is reported that Mr. Stafford, the Secretary to the
Admiralty, is coming to the fleet for a short cruise; a
steamer is to go to Marseilles for him.
"It is quite true that in the gale in February the
Vengeance lost a forecastle gun overboard. It could
only be accounted for by supposing that the forelocks
bad worked out of the trunnion clamps. The breachint
held it but it was obliged to be cut away to save the
ship's side. At the same time a lower-deck gun broke
loose, but it was secured before it ' did much mischief.
The ship was lurching beaVily at the time; the indicator
under the poop marked 48.
" Another trial 01 sailing took place on the 19!la July,
cvh, n the whol- fleet formed a line abreast, and ran be-
tore the wind. Wiz -arm° showed the least canvas,
flighflyer next; both nad their topsails lowered on the
.caps, but the latter had a jib set; the Weer., was not
very strong, and might have failed occasionally at the
extreme ends of the line. Poor Trafalgar, ' Old Granny,'
had to set studding-sails low and aloft toke, p her place.
The admiral has very properly issued some stringent
orders reepecting the officers of the watch, Strict)
leaving Gibraltar on the 7th we have been off Malaga,
and have had one supply of bullocks; we expect
to• be at Tetuan the end of the month to water
the fleet. Tree admiral has a good•humoured man-
ner, and ha* made a most favourable impression on all
hands.
"July 19, Arrogant has gone into Malaga, with divers,
to-examine her bottom.
"The appearance of the fleet at Port Mellon did not
give satisfaction; there was a marked coolness on the
part of the authorities; to be accounted fur, no doubt, on
political grounds."
Gibraltar has become one of the dullest places in the
world, and also one of the dearest;

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The annual meeting of
the Portsmouth Sailors' Home was held this day in the
hall of the institution, Portsea, Lord George Lennox
presided. The report of the committee of maeagement
eras highly satisfactory, showing very numerous benefits
and good results from the establishment of the Home.
The heads of the Government establishments at this
station were appointed ex-officio officers of the institu-
tion for the year ensuing, and some admirable addresses
were delivered by the- supporters of the establishment,
which needs extension already, in order to provide for
the accommodation daily and nightly demanded, but
which the present limited premises do not enable the
committee to grant.
