Captain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to
the Meander, 44, as commodore of the second class and
Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station,
vice Wy vill, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has
expired. Commodore Talbot has served 18 years
afloat. He was born Nov. 1, 1801; is second son of the
Very Rev. Charles Talbot, D.D., Doan of Sarum
(grandson of 'Charles, first Lord Talbot, Lord High
Chancellor of England), by Lady Elizabeth Somerst,
daughter of Henry, fifth Duke of Beaufort, and grand-
daughter of Admiral Hon. Edward Boscawen. He en-
• tered the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and
embarked Dec. 7, 1817, us a volunteer on board the Pro-
metheus sloop; was nominated Oct. 17, 1822, acting
lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain William Clarke
Jervoise. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th
Jan,' 1832, he was next appointed to the Euryalus; 42,
and Rainbow, 28, and attained, April 30, 1827, the
rank of commander. Towards the close of May, 1829,
Captain Talbot commissioned the Helicon, 10, but that
vessel being found defective, he was transferred to the
Algorine brig. As a reward for the activity he had dis-
played in the performance of a detached service in South
America, he was, Nov. 25,- 1830, promoted by the late
Sir Thomas Baker, Cernmander. in-Chief, into his own
flag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the night of April 6,
1831, ao insurrection having broken cut at Rio de Ja-
neiro, he had the fortune to rescue and bring off- from
the Palace of San Christavao their Imperial Majesties,
also her Majesty Donna Maria of Portugal, and suite,
and the Marquis and Marchioness of Loul4S-a service
which Don Pedro 11. subsequently acknowledged by pre-
senting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of
Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vestal, 26,
in which vessel he continued from Nov. 2, 1843, until
paid off; in July, 1847. Oa August 18, 1845, being off
the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in-
Wasted by Sir Thomas John Cochrane with the command
of the Maluda enterprise, when the loss they sustained
was great, extending to no less than six men killed and
fifteen wounded. It is scarcely necessary to add that
the distinguished gallantry and good conduct exhibited
on the occasion by Captain Talbot and his brave com-
panions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an
expression of its great admiration and satisfaction.
Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte
Georgians, widow of Lieut.-Colonel Stapleton, and
daughter of the late Major-General the Hon. Sir Wm.
Pousonby, K.C.8., by whom he has issue a son and two
daughters.
Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky
enough to get appointed to the command of the Ferret,
8, at Davenport, for coast of Africa service, has been
still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com-
mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured
officer, Captain Dacres.
Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been
appointed a mail agent in a Cape of Good Hope screw-
steamer.
MALTA, JUNE 2.-On Saturday last the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India
mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her
voyage in days; she-continued her route to Alexan-
dria on the afternoon of thatadey, the Banshee, with the
portion of the India mail sent through France, having
arrived, and performed her trip in 50. hours, 22 minutes,
from the moment the order at Marseilles " Go a head"
was given, till " Ease her" in the harbour of Valetta.
On board the Bowie& was Lieutenant-General Fergus-
son, appointed to the command of the troops, vice Lieu-
tenant-General Ellice, who has resigned, and who will
leave us by the Bentinck on her return from Alexandria.
General Fergusson landed early, having declined all the
horrours intended for him, and proceeded to the house
lately occupied by General Ellice, and which he had
vacated for Morell's Hotel. Captain Pocklington, the
Military Secretary of the new General, and Captains
Denison and Whitmore, as Aides-de-Camp, also arrived.
Yesterday the General assumed the command of the
troops at 8 A.m., and received a relate from Fort hit.
Angelo.
The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and
Terrible; bat it is thought they will immediately pro-
ceed to join the Admiral, who, by the last advices, was
at Port Mahon.
Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18:-
" You'are aware we lift Malta on the 24th, and on the
28th were joined by the Fury. On the 30th the Tra-
falgar, having carried away the elings of her mainyard,
we anchored off Port Farina (Tun!),- until the follow-
ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren-
dezvous being Cape do Gate On the 4th of May we
had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light-
ning, and hail. On the loth we c,Anmunicatcd with the
English brig Queen of the Tyne, from Newcastle, bound
to Tunis, from which vessel we received information
that she had seen a squadron of five sail eff Cape.de
Gatt, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer. In
the evening, when in let. 37° 28' N., and long. 2° 0' 5"
E., Caps tie Gatt bearing S. 77 W. 214 miles, we were
joined by the Vengeance, Albion, Indefatigable, and
PhaEon, certainty a splendid addition to our squadron.
" Oa the 11th spoke the English schooner Gwaine
Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing
topgallant sails, lost her foretopmast, and two men over-
board, in consequence of which wo supplied her with a
spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men-
tion she belonga to Fishguard, and that we spoke her
in let, 38 deg, 28 min. N., long. 2 deg. 40 min. E.
We hate had the usual exercise at quarters, reefing
and furling sails, &e., of which it is useless to give au
ecetiunt, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an-
other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where
we found the Antelope. The Firebrand has had to do
all the work in towing, the Fury having had her ma-
chinery out of order three times during he cruise, being
r twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by di',
Bellerophon. On coming into Mahon, the Fire-
brand sowed the Brit-main, Trafalgar, and Bel-
lerophon. The Antelope rendered similar friendly
services to the Phaeton, Albion, and Vengeance. The
Terrible arrived on Sunday morning from Cape de Gatt,
bringing dispatches from the Admiralty, in cense.
quence of which the Fury was dispatched to Mar-
seilles the same evening; and yesterday morning
(Monday) the 'terrible and Indefatigable were sent to
Malta, on their way to Alexandria. On the 17th a
Spanish man•of-war steamer arrived, having troops on
board for Mahon.
