THE TURKISH STEAM-FRIGATE.
The Turkish steam-frigate Paid Gehaid left Ports-
mouth Harbour at four p.m. yesterday, for Southampton,
to be docked. A correspondent says—" It is much
to be regretted she was not docked in the yard. There
would have been no difficulty in accomplishing this
by making the fitting basin a dock for the time being,
and leaving the gates of the angle dock open. We
regret to see old-womanlike' difficulties thrown in
the way ; nor is it calculated to make the best im-
pression on our gallant friends the Turks, to be handed
about from Southampton to Portsmouth and back
again.
