PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 9.
The fleet at Spithead has received orders to be ready
for sea by the 11th, but no sailing orders have been
issued.

The Amphion, 34, screw, Captain Key, was paid
wages at Spithead yesterday.
The Rhadamanthus steam transport, Master Com-
mander Belam, steamed into the factory basin yester-

We are happy to say there are no more new cases of
cholera on board the Bremen ship Ann. M. Vanden-
berg, the Consul for the Hanseatic Towns at this port,
has taken every precaution to prevent the spread of the
malady. Large quantities of chloride of lime have been
injected into the ship.

the Belgian Royal family to this port on Sunday night,
left for Ostend at 5 o'clock this morning.
The Tribune, 30, screw steam-vessel, Captain the
Hon. S. T. Carnegie, tried her speed again to-day at the

THE LOSS OF THE ROSE STEAM-CRUISER. - -We have
already announced the loss of the Rose. We extract
the following details from the Charlotte Town Islander,
Oct. 10 :—" The steamer Rose, engaged by the Admi-
ralty for the protection of the fisheries around Prince
Edward's Island, under the command of Lieut. John
Jenkins, R.N., left Tracadie Harbour—where she had
been coaling—on the evening of the 28th of September,
bound to Charlotte Town, to join the senior officer on
the station. About midnight a strong breeze sprang
up from the eastward, gradually increasing in violence
as the night advanced. At 2 o'clock a.m. altered
course to ESE ; gale increasing. At 4 a.m., finding
ship could not make headway against the storm,
tried to wear, but the ship being unmanageable
under steam, forestaysail and trysail were, set to pay
her head off, sails immediately split, and a heavy sea
at the same time carried away all her port sponsons and
her paddle-box, with a ton of coal on deck. In con-
sequence of this it was 7 o'clock before her head was
brought to the wind. They then steered before the
wind to prevent the ship being swamped an d all hands lost
—theltressel at this time on a westerly course, with a
tremendous sea and heavy squalls of wind. At 10 a.m.
a sea struck her stern and stove in dead lights, flooded
the cabin and gun-room. At 1 the land was sighted,
but owing to the rain and heavy spray, could not make
it out—altered course to WNW, to sun for Richmond
Bay, at same time threw two large brass guns and all
the heavy moveables on deck overboard. Finding ves-
sel would not steer, and that she broached-to, they
hoisted staysail, which split immediately, the vessel
being now quite unmanageable, in consequence of the
heavy sea, and making much water. The vessel drift-
ing bodily on the land, they tried to get her head on
for the shore, but all head sails being blown away, let
go kedge anchor over stern, to bring her head to the
wind, which having been done, cut hawser and steered
for the land, the ship at this time being half full of
water. At two o'clock, while running before the wind,
the connecting-rod of engine broke, and the engine
stopped, the second sea carrying away wheel, funnel,
and steam-pipe,- which were all washed overboard.
About ten minutes after the vessel struck on a reef, at
the east entrance of the harbour of Rustico, the sea
making a complete breach over her. After striking
heavily for 15 minutes she became quite stationary,
with four feet water in her hold, a total wreck. That
with great difficulty all hands effected a landing on Rus-
tico Island, having first succeeded in landing a line,
and by means of it and a dingy they were landed sepa-
rately one by one. The vessel has since been con-
demned and advertised for sale. The crew, consisting
of 4 officers and 29 men, with the materials they suc-
ceeded in saving, crossed the island in 18 carts, arrived
at Charlotte Town, and embarked on board Calypso,
18, Captain Forbes, in port, and sailed for Halifax on
Thursday morning, the 6th October."

" Before Captain M'Clure left the Investigator for
Melville Island, he arranged for Lieutenant Gurney
Cresswell to follow with the more sickly part of the
crew. The party consisted of Mr. Wynniett (mate, now
lieutenant, invalided home), Mr. Piers (assistant-sur-
geon), Mr. Miertsching (Esquimaux interpreter), and
24 petty officers, marines, and seamen.
" April 15th, at 5.30 a.m.—They left the ship, the
remaining part of the officers and ship's company giving
them three hearty cheers. There was one sick man on
the sledge from the time they left the ship until their
arrival at the Resolute. The wind blew strong from the
westward, with snow-drift ; but, as all the requisite ar-
rangements had been made for their start, Lieutenant
Cresswell did not postpone it. At 6 p.m. they sighted
the eastern land of the bay, and found by it that they
had made a good course. Shortly after leaving the ship
Corporal Farquharson and Joseph Tacey broke down,
the former having pains.in the chest, the latter suffering
from a fall shortly before leaving the Investigator. They
encamped on Point Back, about 10 miles from the ship.
On the 16th they started at 6 a.m., but travelling proved
very heavy, and the men already showed signs of weak-
ness. The 17th they rounded Cape Hamilton. The ice
had been thrown up by tremendous external pres-
sure,i between which and the land they bad to drag
the sledges. To accomplish this they were obliged to
double-man the sledges--taking two over at a time. As
soon as they Sound a chance of pushing their way
through the hummocky barrier that lined the shore, they
struck off on to the sea-ice, and encamped about two
miles from the land.
"April 22d.—They sighted Melville Island. Their
daily journeys varied ; sometimes the sun gave them a
look to cheer them on their way ; but, generally speak-
ing, the weather was gloomy ; the men suffering from
weakness and fatigue, and the difficulty of drawing the
sledges increasing from day to day. The ice was ex-
tremely rough and hummocky. One day they came
upon a large field of ice from which the wind had blown
away the snow, and the weight of the sledges appeared
comparatively nothing. They were passing rapidly
along, when one man was found to be missing. It was
a poor fellow who had showed symptoms of mental im-
becility, but until then had travelled with the rest. The
detention was grievous, but unavoidable. They sent
back to searck for him, and found him in a pond of
melted snow. From that time great difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting him along. He was always throw-
ing himself on the snow to lie down. They dared not
put him on one of the sledges, as already the weight
was great enough for their enfeebled party, with one
man totally unable to walk and their needful baggage.
"April 30th. - --At 6.30 a.m., just as they were
beginning their day's march, two men were seen
coming towards the tents from the eastward.
They proved to be Mr. Pim and a seaman,
with a sledge and dogs ; he had been sent out by
Captain Kellett to assist them in, and land some stores
in Winter harbour. He was much surprised to find this
party so far advanced in their journey. Lieutenant
Cresswell wished him to land the things, as they did
not require any immediate assistance. At this time
Charles Anderson, being unable to walk any further,
was taken on the sledge. Notwithstanding this extra
weight, they made excellent progress, the men being in
high spirits on the strength of being so near the
Resolute.

"May 2d.—They started at 11 p.m., and arrived on
board the Resolute at 4 a.m. on the following day.
Captain Kellett and M'Clure met them on the floe.
Captain Kellett gave them the heartiest welcome. The
journey from the Investigator was made in 16 days, the
distance 170 miles.

"The day following (May 4) Captain M'Clure set off
on his return to his ship, and was accompanied by the
surgeon of the Resolute, with instructions to examine
into the health of the crew ; Captain Kellett, as senior
officer, having determined that, if 20 ablebodied men
volunteered to remain with Captain M'Clure, that daunt-
less officer should be at liberty to stay by his ship and
attempt to bring her through, should the season render
it possible.

was Captain Kellett's strenuous wish that a party
of the Investigator's men should go on to the North
Star, at Beechy Island ; but as, out of 24, only two
were not affected with scurvy, he was obliged to aban-
don the design. Captain Kellett placed the Investi-
gator's despatches in the hands of Lieutenant Cresswell,
with directions to prOceed to the North Star in com-
pany with Mr. Roche (mate), with a party of 11 men,
the boatswain of the Resolute, and Lieutenant Wynniett,
of the Investigator.
"On the 13th of May they saw two musk oxen.
Lieutenant Cresswell and Mr. Roche went in pursuit.
They wished to have shot only the cow, but having
wounded her, the bull would not allow them to approach
her ; they, therefore, had to shoot him also. The sledge
being very heavily laden, they could not take more than
the hind-quarters of the cow away with them. Such is
arctic life. For 18 months before quitting the Investi-
gator nearly starved, and now leaving 800 or 900 pounds
of excellent fresh beef for the wolves and foxes !
"On the morning of the 2d of June they arrived on
board the North Star, Captain Pullen, at Beechy Island.
The journey was 300 miles, and had occupied four weeks
to accomplish it.
" On the Bth of August the Phcenix arrived, com-
manded by Captain Inglefield. At that time Captain
Pullen had been away a month from the North Star to
communicate with Sir Edward Belcher. By the time
he returned the season was rapidly advancing, and the
opinion of the most experienced was decided that Cap-
tain Inglefield, in the Phcenix, should no longer delay
his return horlie, without further waiting for Sir Edward
Belcher's arrival at Beechy Island.
"On the 23d of August the Phcenix left Beechy
Island. She touched at Disco, at Lievely taking in
coals, and at Hollesteinburgb, where they put in to
complete their astronomical observations. At both
places they met with Esquimaux, and joined with them
in the dance and song. The women were clean and
neat, and peculiarly simple and modest in their conduct.
" On the 4th of October Captain Inglefield and Lieu-
tenant Cresswell landed at Thurso, at the extreme north

of Scotland. Fifty-three hours' travelling brought them
to London. On Friday, October the 7th, they arrived
at the Admiralty with tidings that the geographical
question of the long-sought-for north-west passage had
been satisfactorily solved."

DEATH FROM CHOLERA IN HORSEMONGER-LANE PRl-
SON.—Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest touching
the death of Eliza Brooks, alias Lovelace, a prisoner,
confined there under remand, who died from malignant
Asiatic cholera. Mr. John Keene the governor of the
prison, stated that the deceased was about thirty years
of age, and an unfortunate female. She was com-
mitted by Mr. Combe, one of the magistrates at
Southwark Police-court, on the Ist instant, for at-
tempting to commit suicide by casting herself into the
River Thames. That was the second time she had been
in custody for a similar offence. Elizabeth Harvey
identified the body of the deceased, whose real
name was Eliza Lovelace but she once lived with a
man named Brooks. Witness added :—I heard of
her being confined in this gaol last Thursday, and I
came and saw her. She then complained of
being cold, and that she had no appetite, through
the effects of being in the water. I saw her again
on Monday, having received a letter from the go-
vernor, stating that she was very ill. I then found her
in the infirmary. She was then sensible, and she said
that she did not think that she should live long. Every
kindness was used towards her by the prison authorities.
Mr. William Harris, surgeon to the gaol, said the de-
ceased came under my charge on the 4th instant, suffer-
ing from diarrhoea. I did not think her weak, nor that
there was any cause to expect cholera. It was the
second time she had been committed for attempting to
commit suicide. I ordered medicine, the attack being
at first very slight. On the sth instant she was better,
but on the next day she was brought into the infir-
mary to me, and put to bed. Jane Weston and another
female prisoner and the matron attended her. I under-
stood she had purged and vomited a great deal during the
preceding night. She had also suffered from cramps in
the legs. She made no complaint when unlocked by the
turnkey. I saw her in a state of collapse—cold, pulseless,
and clammy. The purging was not frequent, but copious,
and of a rice colour. The vomiting was incessant, and I
reported her to be in great danger. The Coroner—What
is your opinion of the cause of death ?—Mr. Harris—
Malignant Asiatic cholera. The Coroner—Was she
medically treated for that ?—Mr. Harris—Yes ; I gave
her brandy and water at frequent intervals. Her thirst
was intense. The Coroner—Have you anything to ex-
plain as to the origin of the attack ? Mr. Harris—No,
I have not. Diarrhcea was not prevalent in the gaol.
We, however, have had a few cases, but none exactly
cholera. There was a serious case of diarrhcea on the
22d of September last. Ido not attribute it to the state
of the prison, which has been recently properly drained.
I do not think the disease was 'caused by the locality or
diet. I think she died from natural causes. The jury
found their verdict, " That the deceased, Eliza Brooks,
alias Lovelace, died from malignant Asiatic cholera.
THH STRIKE OF FUSTIAN DYKES.—After a period
of 17 weeks of enforced idleness and privation on the
part of the turnouts, this strike, so far as the masters are
concerned, may be regarded as at an end. Since Men-
day last, the men have been offering themselves, in con-
siderable numbers, to return to their work upon the
masters' terms,—viz., no advance of wages, and to
accept 10,1 hours for the day's work, in overtime,
whenever required, instead of making the overtime day
to consist of only seven hours, as heretofore.

turn, over Beecher 's Brook, and down by the canal
bridge. At the water jump, in front of the Stand,
Crabbs held the lead, Dearest Mae and Daphne, followed

second time Thirkleby seemed coming to a good place,
but fell off as they came down and into the course, and
was passed by Royal Blue. Ringleader, who seemed to
be satisfied with his stable companion Daphne's position,
also dropt away, and Crabbs, with a commanding 'lead,
came in easily first by ten lengths, Daphne second, Royal
Blue third, Miss Purdon and Dwarf fourth and fifth.
Owing to the distance to be covered between the course
at Aintree and the station, we were unable, except at
the sacrifice of details, and a resort to the electric tele-
