in Torbay, in order to lighten her, when she will be brought
back to Plymouth for repair.

SHEERNESS, FEB. 13

The Horatio, 24,
_screw steam guard-ship, Captain the
Hon. S. T. Carnegie, yesterday sent up lower yards and
topmasts, rigged all ataunt, and bent sails. She is
to leave here on Monday next on her quarterly trial
cruise.

The Adder steam-tender arrived here yesterday with 40
or 50 seamen paid off from the Castor at Chatham ; they
were put on board the steam-sloop Barracouta, Com-
mander George Parker. The Barracouta left here at day-
light this morning for Portsmouth and Plymouth. The
Adder returned to Chatham yesterday. Mr. V. Williams,
Master of the Horatio, has been sent on board the Bar-
racouta, to assist in navigating her to Portsmouth and
Plymouth.
The Castor, 36, Commodore C. Wyvill, was paid off at
Chatham yesterday. Previous to her crew being paid, '
Commodore Wyvill distributed the good-service medals.
The senior quartermaster received a gold medal, a gratuity
of 301., and Si. per annum has been added to his original
pension. The crew, with the exception of a solitary case
or two, were paid off and separated in a manner highly
creditable to them. Very few of them volunteered for the
service ; five only for the Imperieuse. Many of them had,
previous to their being paid off, engaged their passages to
proceed to the gold diggings ; others say, "We have no
notion of stopping longer in the navy, when we can get
41. 10s. a voyage from Newcastle, Shields, or Sunderland,
to London, with 21b. of good beef a-day, bread as much as
we can eat, and all other small stores beside."
In consequence of great inconvenience to the service
having been experienced of late at this port for want of
duly authorised pilots to take charge of men-of-war leav-
ing this port, the Admiralty have given an order that Mr.
Charles Pope, Assistant Master-Attendant of this yard,
Mr. Peter Francis, Master of the Monarch, Mr. Gill,
Second-Master in charge of the African steam-vessel, and
Mr. Harvey ,Second-Master in charge of the " Long Boat,"
shall, during the next six months, qualify themselves to
pass the Trinity Board as pilots for the Thames and Med-
way, and the North and South Channels.
Upon an information laid against Nicholas Bowling, a
shipwright belonging to the yard here, for having Queen's
stores in his possession, a search warrant was granted by.
Captain Superintendent Charles Hope, acting as magis-
trate, and upon a search the constable found one metal
sheave, one worn file, and some small nails, all bearing the
broad arrow, and valued at 11d. Captain Hope was as-
sisted by Mr. W. Hayward, acting as Admiralty solicitor.
The case being fully proved against Bowling, he was com-
mitted to the county gaol for three months, with hard la-
bour, and discharged from the service.
