I The" hurricane which took place on the 17th May
I was one of the most destructive gales that had ever
visited Table Bay-18 vessels parted from their an-
chors and went ashore, viz., the bark Alacrity, Cap-
tain Gooch ; the mail steamer Athens, Capt. Smith;
the bark City of Peterborough, Capt. Wright; the
clipper schooner Carstens, Capt. Deane ; the bark
Brabner, Capt. Fred. Bassil ; the bark Glendinning,

The captain, surgeon, and 27 of the crew of the

Naval and Military Intelligence.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
inspected two battalions of the Foot Guards this
morning in Hyde Park. It is expected to be the
last field day this season.

The number of ships of war in Plymouth Sound
was increased on Monday by the arrival from the
eastward, in the afternoon, of the iron-cased cupola
ship Royal Sovereign, 5, the construction of which
will no doubt make her an object of great interest
to the numerous visitors attracted there by the Ex-
hibition of the Royal Agricultural Society. Yester-
day morning the Austrian frigate Frederick, Capt.
Whiplinger, arrived from the eastward. The Royal
Sovereign, the Achilles, and the Prince Consort are
the three ships appointed by the Admiralty to meet
the French ships Magenta, La Flandre, and Ariel.
Besides these there are in the Sound the British
frigate Constance and the sloop Gannet. The iron-
cased cupola ship Scorpion will probably join them
from Hamoaze to-day. The Turkish frigate from
Greenock is not yet arrived. Within the last few
days a considerable number of yachts have entered
the Sound, and are at anchor in the northern part.
The Prince of Wales is expected here this afternoon.
The United States' screw frigate Colorado, 50,
bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Goldsborough,
arrived at Falmouth on Sunday evening from New
York, and after obtaining a Channel pilot pro-
ceeded on her voyage to Antwerp.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—William J. Talbot, midshipman,
to the Arethusa ; Gordon Jackson, surgeon, to the
Vigilant; and Henry S. Collins, paymaster, addi-
tional, to the St. George.

The Fusilier, Black Ball, an Austrian trader,
was lost on the Natal Bluff on May 26. She was
laden with coolies for the West Indies, and had put
in at Natal for the purpose of obtaining medical aid,
having small-pox on board. Two hundred of the
coolies were said to have been drowned ; the sur-
vivors were landed and placed in a lazaretto. Her
official report states 302 coolies well, 77 sick, and
189 dead since leaving Calcutta, and 20 dead from
drowning. A large number of bodies that have
washed up were alleged to be those of coolies that
had died the day before the vessel wrecked.

Along the frontier the gales had also done a great
deal of damage inland. Large forest trees were up-
rooted by hundreds, and a great portion of the con-
vict station at the Katbergwas blown down..

Trade had been much affected by the wrecks,
every shipping house being more or less interested.
Otherwise a fair amount of business had been trans.
acted for the season.
