The Equestrian convict-ship sailed from Cowes
Roads last night for Portland, to ship prisoners for
Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land.
The Lord Petre sailed from Spithead this morning
with troops for Ceylon.

The Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T.
Jones, came into harbour from Spithead this even-
ing, to complete coals, in readiness for further orders.
The Echo steam tug took out supernumeraries to
Spithead this morning, and put them on board the
Tiger, for passage to the Mediterranean squadron,
and brought in the crew of the Tiger to receive ad-
vance wages.

Rear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe has been ap-
pointed admiral superintendent of Portsmouth dock-
yard, and will succeed Admiral H. Prescott, C. 13., on
the Ist of October.

By electric telegraph, the Barracouta, steam-frigate,
Captain the Hon. J. Carnegie, has been ordered to
proceed to Madeira, where some disturbances have
taken place, so soon as she has coaled.
The Magicienne, steam-frigate, Captain Ramsey,
sailed for Plymouth last evening.
The Tiger, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, is or-
dered to prcceed to the Mediterranean, and takes out
some supernumeraries and boys for distribution
amongst the ships of the Numlron.
The Black E igle, Admiralty yacht, has coaled, and
remains in Portsmouth Harbour, waiting orders.
The Royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, Captain
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and the Fairy tender,
remain off Osborne. Toey will come up to-morro w
evening, and coal on Monday. Should the weather
prove favourable, it is probable that her Majesty and

The four large boats belonging to the Excellent

guns outside the harbour yesterday, off Southsea
Castle.

The Termagant, 26, screw steam-frigate, is fitting
with all dispatch. She will, when ready, take spars
and stores for the Windsor Castle, screw line-of-
battle ship, and convey her to Portsmouth to be fitted
for service.

The weather is still unsettled. We have had a
rainy day, at one time the rain coming down in tor-
rents completely flooding the streets. It will do much
mischief to the corn. The wheat, although this is an
early county, is not more than half saved.
We are sorry to announce the death of Mrs. Fin-
cham, aged 70, wife of the talented naval architect,
John Fincham, Esq., of Portsmouth Dockyard. Mrs.
Fincham died suddenly. She has been blind for
many years, and seldom went out. Mr. Fincham has
recently been superannuated, and yesterday removed
from his residence in the Dockyard to his house at
Kingston. The agitation of moving was too much
for his wife, for she expired soon after getting out of
her carriage.
