PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 25.
The Conflict, 8, screw-sloop was taken out to Stokes
Bay again yesterday by Lieutenant G. H. Clarke, in
charge of the steam reserve at this port, to ake
another trial with the same propeller as that she tried
last Wednesday, but now cut at the four corners of
the blades the length of a foot from the corner or angle
of the fan. She took eight runs along the measured
mile, but the weather was so squally the trials were not
considered available for a sound judgment, and she will
go out again to-morrow, if the weather (at present very
adverse) should be favourable.
The Russian frigate Aurora and a corvette are ex-
pected hourly at Spithead, the Vice-Consul (Mr. Wilkin-
son, of Gosport), have received advice of their intended

THE CHANNEL FLEET.
QITEENSTOWN, SEPT. 24.
A court-martial was held on board the Queen, 116,
Captain Mitchell, at Queenstown, on Thursday (Rear-
Admiral Corry, president), to try Kilbury, seamen's
schoolmaster of the Duke of Wellington, on the charge
of having struck Commander Preedy, of that ship, on
the head with a book while at Spithead a month or so
since, as reported by us at the time. The prisoner ad-
mitted his guilt, and the charge was of course declared
fully proved. He was sentenced to imprisonment in a
felon's gaol for two years. The martial law empowered
the Court to hang him forthwith at the yardarm.
Among the on dits in circulation in the Queenstown
fleet is one that the commanders of two of the largest
screw-ships of the force are likely to leave their ships,
owing to not being over-comfortable with their captains.
One of the said ships has had two commanders pre-
viously.
The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Kep-
pel, arrived at Queenstown on Thursday, and joined the
fleet. She is a truly perfect ship, and most ably handled.
The fleet are all making good defects, painting, &c.
The ball in aid of the Sailor's Home at this port (Queens-
town) takes place on Wednesday next, when, from the
number of naval officers and others who will patronize
it, it is expected a large addition will be made to the
funds of the institution.

In the late cruises of the fleet, comprising the time of
their departure from Spithead to their arrival at
Queenstown, the Prince Regent, 90 (Admiral Corry's
flag-ship), and the paddle-steamer Leopard, 16, have
proved themselves the smartest of the sailing division, in
which the Queen, 116, has not improved in any visible
respect since the last trial of an experimental squadron.
The Agamemnon, screw, 91, was distanced 570 fathoms
dead to windward on a trial with the Imperieuse, screw,
51, and Tribune, 30, on the 14th inst., in a fresh breeze
with much sea, ships on the port tack, under double-
reefed topsails and topgallant sails. The trial lasted two
hours. The Tribune distanced the Imperieuse about 50
fathoms in the same trial, thus showing a superiority in
point of sailing qualities over those flowers of the fleet,
the Agamemnon and Imperieuse. In this trial the fid
of the foretopmast of the latter broke, which it was
thought had wrung the head of the foremast, but on
examination, subsequently, in Queenstown harbour, it
was discovered sound. The A triphion sails very well for
a screw-vessel, but cannot steam over 51 knots, even at
full speed. The Valorous paddle-steamer sails very fast.
The ifighflyer (screw) seems to have lost all her former
sailing qualities, which distinguished her under Cap-
tains Matson and Heatbcote ; she was far astern in
all the trials of rate of sailing. Both squadrons were
well exercised at sea in every manoeuvre of sea-
manship, gunnery, steaming, night-quarters, &c. The
cruise is considered to have been good on the whole for
exercising the young ships' companies, and they had
enough of exercise to keep them well in practice with-
out distressing either man or officer. The stations were
on the whole well kept, and the value of sailing in line-
of-battle and order of sailing, to the young officer, need
not be expiated upon.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 24

The Madagascar frigate was commissioned on Wed-
nesday, by Lieutenant J. N. Harward. She is to re-
lieve the Crescent receiving-ship at Rio Janeiro.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, in charge of Mr. Pope,
sailed on Thursday for Portsmouth and Sheerness.
The Avon steam-tender, Second Master A. Veitch,
sailed to-day with seamen and marines for Queenstown.
It is stated that the honour of practically opening the
new and important works at Keyham will be accorded
her Majesty's ship Queen, 116, Captain Mitchell. She
laid many months inside the breakwater before joining
the fleet, and is now hourly expected. After her copper
has been cleaned in one of the new docks she will pro-
ceed to the Mediterranean.
The Valorous, 16, steam-frigate, Captain C. M. H.
Buckle, having been struck by a sea, is ordered here for
repairs.

SUNDAY EVENING.

It is reported that the St. Jean d'Acre, 100, screw-
ship, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, has received
orders by the Black Eagle to proceed to the Mediterra-
nean. Letters from her, dated Thursday, state that she
was to cruise off and on outside Queenstown on Friday,
and enter the port on Saturday,
The Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, has
had the blue peter up all day. Her original orders were
to leave the Sound to-morrow for the Mediterranean.
The crew were paid last Monday, and many of them
are absent on leave.
There has been a strong gale from the north-west all
day, and it is now, 8 p.m., increasing.
