of the Sound at 5 a.m. yesterday, for Portsmouth. The
Fairy steam-tender sailed on Tuesday.
The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw steam block-ship,
Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, got up steam to try her
engines yesterday morning, when everything proved
satisfactory. In a few days she will make a trial trip to
the Eddystone, probably on Wednesday, the 20th inst.
The Trinity yaclirSailed yesterday for the eastward.
The Harlequin brig, 12, Commander A. P. E. Wil-
mot, from the coast of Africa, is daily expected at this
port to be paid off.

The merchant schooner Loyalist, Captain Reeves, of
Plymouth, built by Messrs. William Moore and Son,
arrived in the Sound yesterday, 13 days only from New-
foundland, having had two days' calm off the Land's-
end. She has a general cargo for London. The steam-
vessel Lady Eglinton, from Liverpool, had arrived all
well at St. John's, and had proceeded for Quebec five
days before the departure of the Loyalist.
The pilot-boat Heroine, belonging to this port, saw a
large screw line-of-battle ship and two frigates yesterday
afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, six leagues south of
the Dodman. The ship, supposed to be the Duke of
Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., was
under three topgallant-sails, three topsails, and fore and
main course, steering about west by south, with a smart
breeze from E.S.E. One of the frigates was a league
ahead and the other a league astern of the ship.

•
APPOINTMENT.
Lieutenant Edward Scroggs (1847), from the Tra-
falgar, 120, on the Mediterranean station, to the Ter-
ribble, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, at Woolwich.
The Cyclops, steam-frigate, having taken on board a
large portion of the engines, of 400-horse power, made
by Maudslay, Sons and Field, for the Princess Royal,
90, screw steam-ship, left Woolwich this morning for
Portsmouth, where they are to be fitted to that ship.
The fitting of the engines of 600-horse power, made
by John Penn and Sons, on their principle, for the mag-
nificent ship the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, with screw pro-
peller, has been so quickly executed, that she got up her
steam and the engines were set in motion at Devonport
on Wednesday last, and performed most satisfactorily.
The engines are exactly similar to those manufactured
by that firm for the Agamemnon, 91, screw steam-ship,
and it is expected the St. Jean d'Acre will be ready in a
few days for trial at sea.
