TETE lIIMALAYA.

DUBLIN, TRIIIiSDAY MORNING.
The splendid troop steam-ship Himalaya arrived at
Kingstown yesterday, at two o'clock, having made the
passage from Southampton in 33 hours. She arrived when
the harbour was the scene of great excitement, from the
regatta in progress. Thousands of spectators enjoyed the
sight of this Leviathan vessel under weigh. Several yachts
bearing the flags of the Thames, the Mersey, the Royal
Western (of Ireland), and other clubs were present. As
the Himalaya hauled alongside the jetty hsr immense pro-
portions became evident to the crowd on shore, who
heartily cheered as sho came to her berth. There are stalls
for 450 horses destined for Turkey. The embarkation is
expected to commence this forenoon. The deck of the
Himalaya is rather above the level of the jetty at low water;
consequently the horses may, instead of the tedious process
of slinging, be walked on board.

Mr. E. W. B. Portman has been appointed midshipman
to the Colossus, SO, screw, fitting at Portsmouth.
The departure of the Vulture, 6, paddle, Captain Glasse,
