steam and fore and aft canvas until four o'clock on
Saturday morning, when she grounded on the Gray-
stone rocks, near Penlee Point, and remained there
some time, after which she entered Plymouth Sound.
The Cossack, which was built for the Russian Govern-
ment at Northfleet, where she was seized by the Ad-
miralty, is s aid to answer well both under steam and
canvass, but in consequence of the improper construction
and fitting of the hawse pipe and scuttles, her lower
deck becomes flooded even in smooth water, and the
gunroom and officers' cabins are at times untenantable.
While at anchor in Prince's Channel she made an inch
par hour. The service of the medical officers has been
in great request among the crew through sickness.
There was no proper dock at Sheerness to receive and
iiiamine' the Cossack, and she is now placed in Keyham
Dock, at Plymouth.

THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THIII EAST.
The reinforcements sent out to the army in the East
this week,, and to be completed in a week to come,
amount to 4,000 men. These are to make up for the
casualties of the campaiga, and are calculated to bring
up our effective contingent of the army to the original
number sent out—namely, 30,000 infantry, with the
usual accompanying force of cavalry and artillery, and
commissariat, &c. Indeed, to render the army still
more effective than usual, large additions have been
made to the medical and commissariat, and also the ar-
tillery,, which even in the field, without including the
siege guns, and the guns landed from the ships, is of more
han ordinary efficiency and power. Two regiments of the
line, the 57th 'and 46th, have by this time joined to make
up Sir .L Cathcart's Division to its proper strength in
the field. Without being toe much disposed to take a
gloomy view of the subject, it is impossible to deny that
great rasualties.must have, taken place in an army of
little.more than 30,000 from v‘ar and pestilence to re-
quire to be recruited by 4,000 men to fill up the defi-
ciencies caused in the ranks. So it is, hpwever. About
1,000 went out in the Queen of the South steamer from
Portsmouth on Thursday last, and a similar number
proceeded from Cork in the new Cunard steamer Jura,
while two other steamers of the largest class are pro-
vided to bring the rest of the reinforcements to the
amount of 2,000 more, These are all provided from the
reserves and depots at home, and will all join their re-
spective corps on their arrival at the seat of war ; but no
new divisions will be formed. No new regiments will be
sent out. It is found impossible to complete a necessary
number of regiments at home up to the war complement in
less than 3 months from this time ;' and it is hoped that
before spring the whole of the line regiments may be
brought up to the increased number voted in last session
—namely, 1,400 men for each battalion-1,000 to be
ready for foreign service, and the depot to consist of
400. The regiments lately arrived from Canada, to
form a large and lasting addition to our available force,
are all in fine health and efficiency ; but they muster no
more than 500 or 600 men each, and they must be re-
cruited during the winter to the new war complement,
when they will -be ready in the spring, if required, to
supply the place, or to increase the numbers, of our
Eastern Army. In the meantime the Government is
engaged in promoting the efficiency of the army in every
possible way.

We are happy to state that the bounty for each sol-
dier enlisting has been raised 21., the bounty for the
cavalry being now 61., instead of 41., and that for the
infantry 71. 15s. The standard height throughout the
whole service all round is reduced by an inch. With
these alterations there is little doubt that the entire
dumber required will lie forthcoming before the spring
emands their services, while at the same time the mi•
litia force throughout the whole of the united kingdom
will have passed through the requisite amount of drilling
and exercise for home service, or for supplying the wants
of the regular army.

Very large and ample supplies of winter clothing have
been forwarded to the army in the Crimea, and an
amusing as well as instructive library of new books and
newspapers has been despatched to the hospital at Scu-
tari. Already we are gratified to learn that the condi-
tion of the sick and wounded at Scutari has materially
improved, and many are desirous to join their regiments
once more. Accounts from the fleet, too, by the mail
which left Balaklava on the 13th, and letters written
from several of the ships, all agree in describing the
cholera as having almost entirely disappeared from on
board the squadron.

carrying in the whole, we are informed, 468 guns and
3,937 men. In June and September, 1801, we find him
successively joining the Robust, 74, Capt. Wm. Henry
Jervis, and Ville de Paris, 110, of which latter ship,
bearing the flag in the Channel of the Hon. Win. Corn-
wallis, he was created a lieutenant, 20th November in the
same year. His succeeding appointments were— 6th
Nov., 1802 (after six months of half pay), to the Cal-
cutta, 50, Captain Daniel Weedriff, with whom he vi-
sited Botany Bay, and circumnavigated the globe ; 6th
September, 1804, again to the Ville de Paris, still bear-
ing the flag of the Hon. Win. Cornwallis ; 12th June,
1806, as senior, to the Kent, 74, Captain Thos. Rogers,
with whom, during a servitude of three years and nine
months, he was frequently 'employed in the cutting out
of convoys in the Mediterranean • in November, 1809,
to the Hyperion, 36, Captain Thomas Charles Brodie,
in which ship he proceeded to the West Indies ; 2d
March, 1810, to the Sappho, 18, on that station ; and,
rBth July following, to the. Polyphemus, 64, as flag lieu-
tenant at Jamaica, to Vice Admiral Bartholomew Sam.
Rowley. On the 24th July, 1811, he was advanced to
the command of the Shark, sloop, from which vessel, in
the ensuing October; he was transferred to the acting
captaincy of the Polyphemus, then bearing the broad
pendant of Commodore James Giles . Vashon. Re-
turning to England in the course of the following month,
he was subsequently, en the 7th October, 1813,, and-7th
June, 18-14, appointed to the Adder, 12, and Jaseur, 16,
stationed chiefly on the coast of North AmeriCa, where
he was made pest, 18th February, 1815, into the
Carron, DI He paid that ship off, on her arrival
home from the West Indies, in August, 1816, and did
not afterwards go afloat. He accepted the retirement
Ist October, 1846. •

DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL RICHARD
'- • ;
Vise-Admiral Richard Arthur, C. 8., died on Thurs-
day last, at his residence, Gascoigne-terraces Plymouth.
Admiral Arthur entered the navy in 1788, as captain's
servant, on board the PoWerful, 74, Captain Arthur
Sutherland, guard-ship at Portsmouth, and during the
remainder of the peace served in the Southampton, 32,
Captain R. Goodwin Keats ; Valiant, 74, commanded
by his Royal Highness.the Duke of Clarence ; and Druid,
32, Captain Jos. Ellison. In 1793 he sailed as midship-
man of the Heroine, 32, Captain Alan Gardner, and, after
assisting at the reduction of Trincomalee and Colombo
in 1795-6, was sent in command of three transports laden
with stores and provisions for. Rear-Admiral Rainier's
squadron at Amboyna, where he joined that officer in
his flag-ship, the Suffolk, 74. From March, 1797, until
officially promoted, Feb. 28, 1800, Mr. Arthur continued
to serve in the East Indies as acting lieutenant en board
the Orpheus, 32, Captains Benjamin Wm: Page and
Wm. Hills, and Trident, 64, Captains Alexander Mil-
ner and John Turner. Returning to England, he be-
came in succession attached, on the Cadiz, Mediterra-
nean, and Jamaica stations, to the Dreadnought, 98,
Captain James Vashon ; Excellent and Triumph, 74's,
Captains Frank Sotheron and Sir Robert Barlow ; and
Hercule, .74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral James Richard
Dacres. On the Ist November, 1805, the subject of this
memoir, who had previously borne a useful part in re-
peated actions with the gun-boats off Cadiz, was pro-
moted to the rank of commander for his gallant conduct
in cutting out, in command of the Hercule's boats, a
Spanish schooner from under the batteries of Santa
Martha, and capturing four others (one armed) in the
Gulf of Maracaibo. Being next appointed, Sept. 25,
1806, to the Vesuvius, bomb, he accompanied Lord
Gambier's subsequent expedition to Copenhagen, where
he served with the in-shore squadron under Captain P.
Puget, on the occasion of its being attacked by the
Danish flotilla, and in his general conduct acquired the
approbation of his superior officers. On paying off the
Vesuvius, in December, 1807, Captain Arthur was em-
ployed in superintending the discharge of the. Danish
line-of-battle-ships at Portsmouth. On the 12th of
Aprils 1801, he joined the Cherokee, brig, of 10 guns
and 70 men, which vessel, during the Scheldt expedition
of 1809, he commanded as• one of the advanced squa-
dron above Bach. He subsequently, on the 11th of
January, 1810, being off Dieppe, distinguised himself
by running in under the batteries and attacking seven
lugger privateers, anchored. within 200 yards of the
pier-head, one :of which, L'Aimable Nelly, 'of 16
guns and 60 men, he succeded in boarding and
bringing out. In• acknowledgement of this dashing
exploit he was at once promoted to the post rank,
by commission dated back to the day on which it was
achieved. From Oct 1, 1812, until Dec. 1, 1815, Cap-
tain Arthur further commanded in the Andromeda, 24, old
Lisbon and in the Mediterranean. He was not, however,
again employed until the summer of 1844, when, after
28 years of incessant application, ho was appointed cap-
tain of the Victory, 104, 'and superintendent of the or-
dinary at Portsmouth, which situation he resigned on
being constituted, Sept. 23, in the same year, captain of
the Ocean, 80, and superintendent of the Sheerness
dockyard. He was superseded in the latter appointment
on advancement to flag rank, Nov. 9,-1846. He was
nominated a C.B. July 28, 1838, and from August 28,
1840, until his last promotion, was in receipt of the cap-
tain's good•service pension. "
Vice-Admiral Arthur was a son ofJohn Arthur, Esq.,
of Plymouth, and was brother- to' Colonel Sir George
Arthur, Bart., K.C.H., for some time Lieut.-Governor
of Upper Canada and Van Dieman's Land, and
Governor of Bombay. He married in Nov., 1809,
Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. W. Wells, rector of
East Allingten, Devonshire, by whom be had issue,
three sons and one daughter.
