'HE MAIL STEAM SHIP for AUSTRALIA.
JUNE 4, 1854.—The Magnificent Screw Stearn-ship LADY
JOCELYN, 1,800 tons, another of the fine fleet belonging to the
General Screw Steam tfthipping Company, will be despatched with
her Majesty's Mails for Adelaide, Port Philip, and Sydney, on the
4th June next. This truly noble ship has maintained her high re-
ptration for rapid sailing and runctuality, and as a sister ship to the
Argo, which has made the quickest voyage o and from Australia of
any ship up to this time. The Lady Jocelyn has been employed
carrying the Mails, to and from England and Calcutta, and after a
voyage of about 27,000 miles, calling at s.ven ports outward and
eight homeward, has reached Plymouth two days before her time,
and from her super or sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly
assumed that she will make the run to AustraTa in 60 days. Rates
of passage from 30 to 100 guineas. Full particulars as to Freight
and Passage money at the Company's Offices, 1, Adelaide-place,

THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
Rear-Admiral Hope Johnston is appointed to the
command-in-chief on the South-east Coast of America
station, and will leave, per Brazil mail-packet, to re-
lieve at Rio Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., who is
desirous of coming home.
The St. Vincent, 101, ordinary depot-ship at Ports-
mouth, carrying the flag of Rear-Amiral Martin, super-
intendent of that dockyard, changes her captain this
week, Captain Scott having requested to be superseded,
owing to increasing infirmities. The St. Vincent's new
captain is George Augustus Eliott (1838), K.R.G.,
grand nephew of General George Augustus Eliott, after-
wards Lord Heathfield, the defender of Gibraltar ; he
was first lieutenant to Captain Sir John Franklin in the
Rainbow, 28, and to Captain Edmund (now Rear-Ad-
miral Sir Edmund) Lyons, in the Madagascar, 46, in
the Mediterranean, in 1833.
The Powerful, 84, sailing-ship, was ordered to be
commissioned at Portsmouth on Saturday, to join the
Baltic fleet. She will have a crew of 750 men, and be
commanded by Captain George Mansell, who had lost
the Action, 26, on the coast of Africa. The Powerful
carried Sir Charles Napier's broad pendant on the coast
of Syria, and is a fine roomy, efficient, sailing two-
decker. She will, no donbt, be a welcome addition to
the Baltic fleet.
The Scourge, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Commo-
dore Adams, is progressing very fast in her external
equipment at Portsmouth. She has lower and topsail
yards across, and topgallantmasts on end. She has about
70 hands entered, but might have been manned twice
over had she been allowed to enter all who presented
themselves, her captain and station (the coast of Africa
flag-ship) being both popular.
The store-ship Tyne, Master-Commander Tucker, has
been filled up with victualling stores from the Royal
Clarence yard, and will sail in a day or two for the Baltic
fleet.
The Alecto, 6, steamsloop, Commander Crofton, is
ordered from Portsmouth to Woolwich, to be paid off
and refitted.
The Simoorn, is, screw transport, Captain Smith, is
ordered to embark the 79th Highlanders at Portsmouth
Dockyard for Turkey on the 4th instant. This fine and
efficient regiment was officially inspected in quarters at
Portsmouth, on Saturdsiy, by .Major-General Simpson,
commanding the troops in thatfortress.
In anticipation of the casualties of the war, new store-
houses are being built in the front of Haslar Hospital, to
enable sundry storehouses that held sick wards before to
be readapted to their original use as receptacles for sick
and wounded.
The Medea, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Phillimore,
went out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday evening, and
left for the north.
The Pigmy steam-vessel was commissioned at Ports-
mouth on Friday evening by Lieutenant Hunt, to attend
the Baltic fleet as a gun-boat. She is to carry one long
32-pounder swivel, and two long 18 ditto ; crew of 35 ;
no midshipmen or boys, but all able men.
The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Robert
Hall, has returned to Spithead from the Downs, not
having fallen in with any prizes.
The Sealark, 8, Lieutenant Fenwick, in charge, has
returned to Spithead, from the Channel.
The hired freight-ships, Harbinger, Negotiator, Mo-
narchy, Mary Anne, and Culloden are chartered to con-
vey the 13th light Dragoons from Portsmouth to
Turkey.
The depot of the 95th Foot crossed from Southampton
to Cowes on Saturday in her Majesty's steam-tug Echo,
to occupy Parkhurst Barracks.
A paddle-wheel man-of-war steamer and a large mer-
chant ship with passengers, from New York for Ant-
werp, passed up Channel inside the Eddystone about 6
o'clock yesterday morning.
The Pheenix screw steam-sloop, Captain Edward A.
Inglefield, and the Talbot, Commander Jenkins, are both
reported ready to proceed to sea, and convey the stores
they have on board to the Arctic regions for the relief
of Captain Sir Edward Belcher's Expedition.
Forty-eight newly raised men arrived at Plymouth in a
Dublin steamer on Saturday afternoon, and have been sent
on board the Impregnable, flag-ship. They will probably
be al aefrad too A!. ea- suq,acrew steamsehi as fitting
out for -active service. The Algiers fs,,t tier steam
on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of testing her
machinery. ~Her engines worked admirably. Fairbairn
is the maker of them.
His Brazilian Majesty's screw steam-sloop Mage, 7
guns, arrived in the Sound on Thursday from the
Thames, where she was built. Captain Portugal takes a
passage ba her to the Brazils.
The Belleisle, Commander Hoskin, fitting out as a
hospital ship for the Baltic fleet, will be ready to proceed
to sea about Wednesday next. Her stores have been
nearly all taken on board.
Brigade-Major J. H. Purves, of Portsmouth garrison,
is about to leave that post, where he has been very
actively employed of late in attending to the accommo-
dation provided for troops on board transports, for what
is considered more congenial (the kid glove) service,
being appointed equerry to the Duchess of Cambridge.
Mr. Philip C. D. Bean, who has been reappointed to
the Fisgard, flag-ship of Commodore John Shepherd, at
Woolwich, has resumed his duties as Master, and also
acts as Flag-Lieutenant. Under Mr. Bean's directions,
with the able assistance of Mr. Warner, gunner of the
Fisgard, the landsmen who have lately joined have be-
come very proficient in their drill and other exercises ;
and about 40 of them are now ready for being draughted
into vessels for service at sea. A statement had ap-
peared in some quarters that it was not intended to enter
any more landsmen for service ; but such is not the fact,
as the Fisgard is still entering healthy young lads of 18,
19, or 20 years of age, if 5 feet 6 inches ie height,
although they may have never been at sea.
Lieutenant-Colonel Fox Strangways, Royal Horse
Artillery, Brigade-Major Adye, and Captain and Adju-
tant Gordon, left London on Saturday morning, pro-
ceeding via Paris and Marseilles, for the seat of war in
the East. The gallant Colonel will command the Royal
Horse Artillery of the British Army.
The following changes of companies at home stations
have taken place :
Captain Cannon's 7th company of the 13th battalion
to Shoeburyness, relieving Captain Longden's No. 5
company, 13th battalion, and the latter proceeded to
Bristol to relieve Captain Dennis Pack's company, Ist
battalion, that company being under orders to return to
head-quarters at Woolwich.
The remaining divisions of Captain Swinton's field-
battery of Royal Artillery embarked on Saturday in the
Lady Macnaughten and the Kenilworth, horse transport
ships, and were taken out of Woolwich basin in the after-
noon. The Blake, horse transport-ship, is in the basin,
and has also a portion of a battery of the Royal Artil-
lery on board, and will be taken out at the early hour of
3 o'clock in the morning, and proceed down the river
on her way to the Mediterranean.
The Wilson Kennedy, transport, Captain Simpson,
hired by the Government to convey troops to the
Mediterranean, is now in the hands of the artisans of
Plymouth Dockyard, and her repairs will not be com-
pleted before Tuesday. The head-quarters and last
troop of the Bth Hussars arrived at Plymouth from Exe-
ter on Friday, in the expectation of embarking on board
her on Saturday. She left Liverpool on the 16th, and
entered the Sound on Wednesday, the 26th. During
the passage strong gales were encountered from south-
west, south-south-east, and from that to east-south-
east. One heavy gale from north-north-east was ac-
companied by a tremendous sea. The ship at times
pitched her forecastle under water, and was much
strained. On entering the harbour, Lieut. Keating,
R.N., the active superintendent of transports, made his
survey, and reported that the ship was not furnished with
a complete second suit of sails, according to what is
termed the " Admiralty indent," and orders were
instantly received for her to be supplied with them,
and be put in a proper state of repair. Private sail-
makers riot being able to supply the whole of the sails in
time, part of them are being made in the Government
sail depots. Besides the insufficiency of her sails, some
of which were weak, the ropes of them chafed, and the
blocks were not large enough. Admiral Stopford, Ad-
miral-Superintendent of Plymouth dockyard, who is
effectively supported by Mr. Mills, Master-Attendant,
the Master Shipwright, and Mr. Turner, Assistant, is
losing no tune in expediting the repairs. The artisans
commenced on Thursday morning, and work daily until
9at night. They were busy on her all yesterday, and
she will probably be completely ready for sea by Tues-
day morning. The Wilson Kennedy is a full-rigged
ship, and registers 1,129 tons. She has been supplied
at Plymouth with above 30 tons of additional iron bal
last. Her capacious tween decks are fitted with stalls
for 85 horses—namely, 70 troopers, and 15 officers' ; the
bottom of the stalls is of stout plank, crossed over with
two-inch battens, and on these the horses will stand.
The accommodation for the troops, 85, is forward, on
the same deck, under the topgallant forecastle. The
head quarters of the Bth Hussars consists of Lieutenant-
Colonel Shewell, Captain Chetwode, Lieutenant Adju-
tant Seeger, Cornet Clowes, and Surgeon Anderson.
On her poop, from her mainmast aft, the ship will carry
a flat-bottomed boat, 27 feet long, constructed for the
Major-General Sir Harry

Sheerness, on Friday. Her crew have been paid their
advance, under the superintendence of Capt. Christopher
Wyvill. She is to take on board 40 tons of shot, and
an extra supply of powder for the Baltic fleet, and is
under orders to leave to-day. Her number of blue-
jackets has been increased by 25 A.B.'s, in addition to

her forriner complement. Mr. William Spouse proceeds
in the Miranda as Baltic pilnb. Mr. Spouse has for
Many years commanded merchant ships in all parts of
the Baltic, and was for two years and upwards in com-
mand of a fine Russian Finland clipper schooner, draw-
ing:two feet more water than the Miranda does at pre-
sent. Mr. Spouse acted as pilot on board this ship on
her late trip out to reconnoitre the Russian ports—
Port Baltic and Revel.
The weather being more moderate on Saturday, the
shear hulk was got along the Nile, 91, screw steam-ship.
The crank shaft was hoisted- out and put on board
the steam-vessel African, which left Sheerness at
noon for Messrs. Stewards' factory to have the neces-
sary repairs effected. On the Nile coming to an anchor
for the night, on her passage round to Sheerness from
the Downs, a target was placed at a distance of 800
yards for practising the crew, which, however, did not
afford much opportunity, for the third shot fired passed
completely through the target (a cask) and sunk it.
Before another could be got out the evening set in.
It is well worthy of notice, and does credit to the ship's
company, that since the pendant has been hoisted there
has not been a single instance of punishment having
taken place ; and the same can be said on board the
Miranda, Captain Edmund M. Lyons. Both ships being
here at present, and lying near each other, they are
styled by the blue jackets on board each, " The Happy
Couple," and they hope before long to have a chance of
daring the enemy to separate them whilst they have a
shot in either of their lockers.
The Tartarus, 4, paddlewheel steam-vessel, Lieuten-
ant-Commander Richard H. Risk, has been put out of
the fitting basin at Sheerness,, and taken in her powder,
shell, &c. She is to proceed to the entrances of the
Elbe and Weser to look after Russian merchant ships.
The Columbine, rrned sP,lling coal depot, the armed
water tank, and 'la custcr Go,mitue) were all pui out
of the Sheerness fitting basin on Saturday. The Gossa-
mer is to be fitted as a revenue cutter, and will also pro-
ceed in search of Russian merchant vessels homeward
bound.

Lieutenant Simpson H. Ricketts, of December 1, 1851,
from the Waterloo, 121, is in command, pro tem., of the
Cuckoo, 3, paddlewheel steam-vessel, and she is now
being fitted in dry dock at Sheerness, and is to proceed
round the Orkney Islands to look after Russian prizes.
The revenue cutter Stag, 6, Lieutenant Frederick L.
Cotton, sailed on Saturday morning for her cruising
ground to look after Russian prizes.
The Hannibal, 91, screw, at Chatham, is progressing
fast in her fitment, her lower and topmast rigging is be-
ing set up, and she is entering some smart, able, and
good ordinary seamen. _ _

Mr. Joseph Whittall, clerk, the 9th of July, 1852,
serving in the office of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline
Percy, has been promoted to the rank of Paymaster.
He will still retain his present appointment under the
Admiralty regulations.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.
We insert the following from a correspondent, with-
out subscribing to all the details of his communications.
But we may remark that there can be no doubt that if
the largo screw steamers had been taken up in the first
instance for the conveyance of cavalry, some scores of
thousands of pounds would have been saved ; but it must
be remembered that it was at first and for a long time
doubtful that any cavalry other than the Horse Artil-
lery would be despatched, and when the pinch came, the
steamers were taken up for the conveyance of infantry.
It is a satisfaction, however, to know that the au-
thorities are now on the right tack, and a visit to
that splendid 2,500 ton screw-ship Jason, at Black-
wall, built by Mare, and hired from the General

Screw Company, will at once show the economy,

the comfort, and the advantage of hiring such ships
in preference to the 800 ton sailing ships. This ship
Jason has been about 10 days fitting, and in another 6
days she will be ready 'tfor sea. On her main deck will
be found stalls for no less than 177 horses, with 44 on
the lower deck, and 60 on the spar deck. The height
between decks under the beams, 6 ft. 8 in., and under
the decks, 7 ft. 6 in. Here is accommodation for 281

horses, and there is also accommodation for 281 men

the latter are on the orlopdeck forward, and the officers
have the splendid saloon aft. Take this ship at 50s. a

month, it will be readily seen that she is more econo-
mical than 3 ships of 200 to 1,000 tons at 325. 6d. a
ton, that have been taken up for horses ; and the govern-
ment have this advantage, that these screw-ships can go
at least two voyages to one of the sailing-ships. Com-
mencing with the Jason, the next ship to take cavalry is
the great screw-vessel Himalaya, 3,500 tons, and the
other is the Prince, of 2,700 tens, an improved Jason.
By the time the cavalry is ready these ships will be fitted
and within fourteen days of the time of embarkation, the
cavalry will be at Constantinople. "Better late than
never.'
We cannot lay much blame to the authorities. They
might not have come up to public expectation, for the
public is an oppressive task-master and a most un-
reasonable one in many respects ; but it cannot be de-
nied that, with all their faults, the officials have done
wonders.

taken away—the balance of the 240 or 250 she will
carry on the deck below. The Himalaya was to have
been immediately on her arrival fitted in the same way,
and perhaps still is, unless her breaking down one engine
prevents. She would carry, at the same rate of space
allowed, nearly double the number—say, however, 450.
We calculate, in this way, it takes 229 feet of the
Jason's length to carry 172 horses on one deck, and that
deck is under (considerably under) 300 feet long. The
Himalaya, if properly fitted, would have length of deck
for stalls say 320 feet, or about one-third more ; so on
that deck, and carrying only two rows, she would put
away conveniently 250 horses, and below 200 more.
But, taking the Jason's practice, it is quite clear that
nine such vessels might long ago have taken out the
2,000 cavalry talked of in 15 days from shipping. The
horses already sent, we are to suppose, are those belong-
ing to the artillery and the staff ; for, as far as the public
have been made aware, no great number of the actual
cavalry soldiers' horses are even yet gone.
It may be said, and no doubt truly, that the steamers
employed in carrying the foot soldiers in such numbers
could not be spared for this other equally important
duty. Why not then have taken up other steamers ?
Why not have laid violent hands on the Great Britain,
which sailed on Saturday for Australia, if her owners
were not sufficiently loyal to offer her ? That ship could
have carried nearly, if not quite, 3,000 men, and on her
two cleared passenger decks we are afraid to say how
many horses. She, being five feet wider than the Hima-
laya, could have carried four clear rows on a deck length
of nearly 300 feet ; also, in fact, the number she could
have carried over 800 would only have been controlled
by coal and forage stowage.
Altogether, although great things have been done, and
.we admit it, we do think there has been some blunder-
!iag, and no wonder, when five or six different office rou-
ti!..eri havo to be gnu" through before the simplest move
can be made—the Cabinet, the Colonial, the War, the
Admiralty, the transport, &c. Time th6re was one war

and that the English was riding in the Baltic, he
mourned and prayed a good deal over the mis-
, understandings of friends, set his minister, Bud-
berg, to be very affectionate to the English Am-
bassador, and whisper in his ear that the treaty of
Tilsit could not last, and that Russia, Austria, and
England were, in the eye of heaven, the predes-
tined allies wdo should save the world ; and, in
another month, as soon as the British fleet was
Gown
the horizon, declared war against England.
These historical facts should be enough to put
the two nations on their guardagainst being set
by the ears by Russia, even if both were still what
they were in 1807. But both countries have ad-
vanced and improved : and Denmark especially so,
in political freedom. She will not again be what
she was six centuries ago, when she was a leading
power, with a proportionate territory ; but, on the
other hand, neither can she (if duly on her guard
against Russia) ever again sink so low as when within
two centuries, she found no refuge from the tyranny
of her aristocracy but in begging for a despotism. ,
The true old spirit began to revive long age ; and
the year 1835 was rendered memorable in the na-
tional annals by the first institution of a popular
representation imperfect and weak, but still
enough like the true thing to frighten our Duke of
Cumberland exceedingly, considering how near the
Danes were to Hanover. Through various troubles,
and a little war of succession, the political liberties
of Denmark have continued to expand as the popu-
lar element rises with every change, and the broad.
extension of popular education justifies and sub-
stantiates the blessing. Our free trade developer
their agriculture and their commerce. Since the
admission of live stock into our pons, the marshes
of Holstein and the grazing lands of Jutland have
become a mine of wealth to their possessors. We are
organising a transit through Denmark to Norway
and Sweden. We are becoming more and more the
friendly and familiar neighbours that nature intended
us to be. And therefore is it plain to us that,
whenever neutrality becomes impossible to the Bal-
tic powers, the side that Denmark declares for will
not be Russia. If the strong hand be put out too
soon for that bespoken crown, it must simply have
a sound rap on the knuckles. If the Czar wants to
make Denmark the= gate-lodge of his ill-gotten
estate, the residents will simply tell him that they are
independent, and have no wish to go to service.
And then, if he tries to make slaves of them, they
have only to ring their alarm bell, and England and
France will be on the spot immediately, to help to
send the tyrant home. That, in our opinion, will
be the way, and the right way, if he so bullies the
neighbourhood as to force people to declare for or
against him.—Daily News.
