the 23d, to communicate with the Icarus. She had
been ashore at Navarino, but had been got off with-
out injury. The Liffey, 39, Capt. G. Parker, was

mander. A court-martial assembled on the 13th
ult. on board the Trafalgar, presided by Capt. T.
Mason, of that ship, to try Mr. C. B. Hogg, master's
assistant of her Majesty's ship Queen, on two charges
—(1) absenting himself without leave, and (2) nego-
tiating a bill of exchange of £3 10s, having endorsed
the said bill " Commander Woollcombe," without
Commander Woolicombe's knowledge or consent.
He was found guilty and sentenced to be imprisoned
for six months, and to be dismissed from her Ma-
jesty's service with disgrace.. On the same day
was tried George Pick, cook's mate of the Queen,
for using foul and disgusting language, and strik-
ing Thomas Olden, ship's cook, his superior officer.

to receive 48 lashes, to be imprisoned for two years
with hard labour, and to be dismissed her Ma-
jesty's service with disgrace. Another court-

Queen Was inspected on the 21st of July by the
commander-in-chief, prior to her leaving the sta-
tion. She then only waited the arrival of the
Orlando to leave for England, but she has since
been detained for reasons that have not transpired.
She is expecting fresh orders, having been three
years and 10 mouths in commission, for nearly the
last 12 months of which time she has been stationed
at the Piraeus. She may, however, be sent back to
the Pii eras with stores for the squadron. Her Ma•
jesty's screw corvette Cossack, 20, Cept. W. R.

Piraeus with a mail. She is to relieve the Icarus,
ordered home. Her Majesty's screw frigate Ma-
laces, 17, Capt. G. J. Napier, left yesterday morn-
ing also for the Piraeus with a mail for the com-
mander-in-chief. Her Majesty's surveying tender
Growler, 2, under the command of Mr. Stokes, R.N.,
Master of the Mediva, has lately visited the Island
of Favignana (south-west coast of Sicily), for the
purpose of ascertaining the exact position of a

roneously stated by the Italian authorities to be on
