THE NAVY.
Let tern, dated April, 2 have been received at Ply-
mouth from the serew steam frigate Seth-j, 36,Capt.
Conolly, flirt of Rear-Admiral John Kingeotne,Corn-
mander-in-Chief in the Pacific. She was, at the
time they were despatched, at Valparaiso all well.
The screw steam sloop Alert, 17, Commander Ma-
gendiv, at Devonport, just commissioned, is ordered
'to be stored and provisioned for immediate service.
She was placed on SAtnrday in dock No. 1, to have
her bottom cleaned and be overhlult d.

His Swedish Majesty's corvette Lagerbjelkie,
Capt. Herkipe, sailed from the Motherbank on Sa-
turday evening for Carlserona.

Her Majesty's screw frigate Leander, 39, 400

Sir ra. J. Hope Johnstone, K.C.8.,
Commander-in-Chief, and yesterday got up steam at
an early hour, and proceeded to Portsmouth, where
she will receive her final orders from the Admiralty.
The Leander will relieve the Topaze, 39, GOO horse
power, carrying the broad pennant G f Commodore
of the 2.1 class, the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, the
Topaze being about. to return to .FA4g,lapd. By di-
rection of the Admil,*alk eiefy tlZ'aipatch is to be
used in hastening the departure of the Leander, in
consequence of the serious delays which have taken
place caused by the unsatisfactory working of her
machinery. It is, however, the opinion of compe-
tent naval engineers and other officers at Chatham
that, although the defects in the engines of the
Leander have been temporarily overcome, her whole
machinery is so defective that should she be des-
patched to her proposed station a very short inter-
val only will elapse before she will be compelled to
return home to have her engines and boilers taken
out.
