14, steam-frigate, Captain Loring ; Basilisk, 6, steam-
sloop, Commander Hon. F. Egerton ; and Medea, 6,

manned and ready for any service at telegraphic notice.

ned and ready for immediate service. The three-decker,
Queen, 116, in Plymouth Sound, however, is the only
regular sea-going ship now that has only an advanced

leave of absence, visiting several of the continental ports,
has met with an accident. He was hunting at Naples
a short time since, when, being mounted on a vicious

broke his arm. He was unable to return by his yacht,
the Wizard, but is expected to return to his regiment by
the French steamer from Naples to-day.
