Captain George Gifford, 1845, to the Termagant, 24,
steam-frigate. This officer enterealhe service June 27,
1827; passed his examination in /834; and obtained his
first commission Oct. 30, 1835. His appointments, as
lieutenant, were Nov. 1, 1835, and' Feb. 14, 1838, to the
Cruizer, 16, and Medea steamer, Captains Win. Alex.
Willis and John Neale Nott, on the North America and
West India station; and November 27, 1832, to the
Cyclops steamer, Captain Horatio Thome Austin. In
the following year he bore a very active part in the
operations on the coast of Syria, and particularly distin-
guished himself by the able assistance he afforded his
captain in an attack on the strong tower of Gebail,
September 12, 1840, on which occasion he formed one
of a party that very gallantly landed and advanced to
the walls, although ultimately compelled to retire with
loss. For his services throughout the campaign he was
awarded a commander's commission, dated No-
vember 4, 1840. His next appoinment, we find, was

Chatham, vice Lawn, who has not taken up his appoint-
ment. We are not surprised at Commander Lacon
declining to take the command of a sailing-vessel, as he
has only recently qualified himself for steam-service,
and has been a candidate for employment in that parti-
cular line.
Commander W. Morris (B.), 1846, to the Electra
sloop, 14, Portsmouth. Commander Morris recently
served for a period of three years in command of her
Majesty's sloop Arab, on the Cape of Good Hope, East
India, and China stations, and wo presume has been no-
minated to the Electra in consequence of the inability of
the First Lord to promote him to the next step. Com-
mander Morris may in these hard times consider himself
to be exceedingly fortunate in obtaining the command of
so desirable a vessel as the Electra.
Lieutenants-Charles M. Luckraft, John T. Price,
and Hon. H. A. Monckton, to the Termagant.

one of Green's fine India ships, and the Johnson, a
barque from Sidney, lowered their ensigns. As the
yacht approached the Spit buoy, the platform battery
saluted, and as she entered the harbour the Victory, the
Neptune, and Excellent saluted; these vessels were also
dressed in colours, and with the Simoom and Inflexible,
and other smaller vessels, manned yards, the crews
cheering as the Fairy passed them.
The Royal party landed at the Clarence-yard at eleven
o'clock, and were received by the Port-Admiral Sir
Thomas Briggs, G.C.8., the Rear-Admiral H. Prescott,
C. 8., the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General James
Simpson, C. 8., with the usual cortege of other naval and
military officers, and a guard of honour. A South-
Western railway-train was in readiness, and the Royal
party were soon after proceeding for Basingstoke,
from thence by Great Western railway, en route for
Balmoral.
The Elfin dispatch yacht followed in the wake of the
Fairy, from Osborne to Portsmouth.
Lady Caroline Barrington, with the two young Prin-
cesses Helena and Louisa, remain at Osborne till the
Court return from Scotland. The Fairy yacht, Master-
Commander Welsh (now coming alongside the dockyard)
will attend on them.
After the Royal party had landed Captain Crispin
returned to Osborne in one of the barges, and brought
up the large yacht Victoria and Albert. This vessel,
we understand, will now be
dismantled for the winter
months; part of her crew will resume their occupation
as riggers in the dockyard; the other part, with the
officers, will be hulked on board the old sailing yacht
the Royal George.
