• ' PORTSgOUTII, MARCH 11.
Rear-Admiral Fanshaive and' the clerks of the Pay-
office went out to Spithead to-day, and paid wages to the,
crew of the Odin, 16, Captain Francis Scott, and the
Sidon, 22, Captain Goldsmith.
The Fairy, Royal yacht, Master-Commander Welch,
conveyed Captain Crispin to Osborne this morning. On
her return she was hauled alongside the jetty ready for:
docking to-morrow to ship a new propeller.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 11.
A court-martial assembled yesterday on board her
Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, Captain Lowe, in
Hamoaze, to try Mr. John Pyper, Master of the En-
counter; 14, screw steam-sloop, Captain George W. D.
O'Callaghan, on a charge of drunkenness. The court was
presided over by Commodore Superintendent Michael
Seymour, and, after sitting two hours and a half, they
sentenced the said John Pyper to be dismissed from her
Majesty's service. _

• Her Majesty's steam-vessel Firebrand, 6, Captain
Hyde Parker, arrived on Wednesday from Portsmouth,
and came into harbour to coal, preparatory to leaving for
Gibraltar with boats and stores. The Bishop of Gibral-
tar takes passage in her.
Her Majesty's steam-block-ship Sanspareil, 81, Cap-
tain Sidney C. Dacres, was warped to the sheer hulk on
Wednesday, to have her masts taken out and replaced
with those formerly belonging to the Dublin, 50-gun
frigate.

The emigrant-ship Madagascar, 951 tons register,
Captain F. Harris, belonging to Mr. Green, sailed this
morning for Australia. She had 150 passengers, among
whom were 40 needlewomen, sent out under Mr. Sidney
Herbert's plan.

WOOLWICH, MARCH 11.
The Terrible, steam-frigate, has been taken out of dock
into the basin ; and the Tribune, 30, steam-frigate, has
been taken into the dock vacated by the Terrible.
The Phcenix, screw steam-sloop, Commander Edward
A. Inglefield, is progressing rapidly in ler fittings for an
expedition to the Arctic Regions. The First Lieutenant
(J. Elliott), the Second Lieutenant (Joseph H. Marryat),
the Master (Win. Staunton), Surgeon (John F. Charlton,
M.D.), Assistant-Surgeon (John R. Holman), Second
Master (G. H. Hills), Mate (Robert P. Jenkins), and
Clerk (Win. T. Richards)—have all joined and taken
up their commissions.

CHATHAM, MARCH 11.
The Impdrieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate, Capt. R. B.
Watson, C. 8., having had all her guns taken on board
and mounted, the crew are employed in ratling the lower
rigging and stowing the forehold, and will to-morrow
complete the stowage of the provisions. The lower deck
of the frigate is planned and painted, and airing stoves
have been kept every day during the last week with
'good fires in them, and will be continued until she is
thoroughly dry inside and ready for the reception of her
crew, which will be about the 22d or 23d inst., and it is
expected she will be fully ready for sea in every respect
by the 26th inst. It is the opinion of the officers, that
if the simple plan of heating and airing ships, as has
been done in the Impdrieuse, was more universally fol-
lowed, especially in new ships, before shipping the
crews, it is more thin probable that much sickness
might be prevented, as well as inconvenience to the ser-
vice and expense to the Government.
The Orion, 80, building at this dockyard, will be
lengthened, in the early part of next month, by cutting
her in two, for the purpose of converting her into a
screw steam-ship. Additional bearing ways have been
put up at her stern of the required length.

MALTA, FEB. 27.
The weather since the night of the 18th and 19th (on
which night a frightful hurricane visited Corfu) has been
very bad, and disasters by sea have been numerous.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's boat City of
London arrived this morning, with loss of bowsprit, from
the weather she experienced.
Yesterday there arrived from Tripoli (in Barbary) a
little Turkish schooner, having on board the captain and
crew (in all 10 individuals) of the English brig William
and Mary,•of Sunderland, bound from Galatz and Con- °
stantinople to Cork or Falmouth. -These she picked up
in two boats between Cape .Bon and- Galicia. On the
day preceding (19th), when about 30 miles E.N.E. of
Cape Bon, she bad started a plank and went down. Her
cargo consisted, of 1,220 kilometres of wheat.
The Simoom, screw steam-frigate, Captain Kingcome,
which, on the arrival of the Triton, steam-packet, from
the lonian Islands, was lying at Argostoli (Cephalonia),,
waiting for a detachment of the 41st Regiment, from
Cerigo, to relieve the 76th Regiment here, has not yet
arrived ;: but as the weather is now fine, she may be
looked (peat-ally. moment.
Besid'es the maritime losses above detailed, it may not
be uninteresting to inform you that the following vessels
have put in here more or less damaged :
The Mauritius (barque), Mr. Simpson, with rye, for
Cork or Falmouth—arrived 23d.

The Teresa (brigantine), Mr. Camilleri, with wheat,
for Pork or Falmouth—arrived 23d.

The Eveline (brigantine), Mr. Scerri, with wheat, for
Marseilles. She had reached within three miles of the
Marieilles lighthouse when a heavy N.N.W. gale caught
her, and she ran back to this place—arrived24th.
The Rodney, 92, Captain Graham, C. 8., is just now
reported in sight, standing in from the westward. She
left England on the 12th,' and, if it be her, has made a
beautiful run out.

The Niger, 14, screw, Commander Heath, was in the
Dardanelles.

The Furious, 16, paddle, Captain Loring, was at
Gibraltar.

DOCKYARD BATTALION.—We understand that instruc

tions have been received by Admiral Harvey to enrol
and organise this corps immediately in artillery com-
panies ; and the gallant admiral has lost no time in
carrying into effect the directions of the Admiralty.
The order was received by the Indus, and the training
commenced at the battery at the Isola Point last Mon-
day, under the supervision of Captain Culder, of the
Royal Artillery of Fort St. Angelo. Admiral Harvey
has issued a spirited order to the officers and men to be
embodied, which they will no doubt respond to by a
rapid progress in training, and skill in handling the gar-
rison battery guns. The men are to be well clothed,
and to receive a liberal payment for each drill. What-
ever opinion may exist as to a militia force in England
or for Malta, the practical wisdom and sterling prudence
of: this
,enKolment cannot be doubted; by which three
'conipanies' of artillery will be added to the defensive
force of the extensive line of fortificatio.ns of this gar.
