—A letter from an officer says :—" The ships had plenty of
pitching, rolling, and cracking, with fogs, rain, and gales of
wind, but no fair expermental sailing, so that nothing decisive
can yet bc said of the relative qualities of the Champion, Ores-
tes, and Pylades, since the alteration of the two latter. It has
been sufficiently ascertained that the Scylla and Gannet are in-
ferior to either of the vessels; therefore, they have (leper ed
company for their stations ; the former to Jamaica, the latter
to Cork."

It is stated in a letter received from an Officer
of his Majesty's ship Tamar, 28, Captain GORDON BREMER,
C. 8., that the sudden sailing of that ship from England, with
sealed orders, in February last, was occasioned by it being
determined by Government to colonize Melville Island. The
Tamar arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the sth June,
but it being necessary to refit her, she did not leave that place
until the 18th of July. She arrived at Sydney (New South
Wales) after an excellent passage of 47 days from the Cape,
where Captain Bremer hired two transports, and they took on
board thirty rank and file of soldiers, and a- number of the
most riotous of tl.e convicts, and then sailed for Port Essing-
ton, in Melville Island, which is in the Gulph of Carpenta7irt,
at the North end of New Holland. The Tamar will leave
the detachment of Royal Marines, which she embarked at
Plymouth, as a garrison at Port Essington. The Tamar after-
wards proceeds to England, calling at the Presidencies at Cal-
cutta and Madras for dispatches and mails. Melville Island
is well situate for the encouraging of trade and communica-
tions, with the Malays.--( Portsmouth Paper.)

THE KING, &c.

WlNnsoa, JAN. 9.—His 31AsEsTr, yesterday, after tak-
ing an airing- for a considerable time in the Great Park, pro-
ceeded in his pones phaeton through Frogmore and the Little
Park to the Castle. His Majesty was accompanied by the
Marquis Conyngliam, and others of his suite, who inspected
the alterations, which, notwithstanding the obstacles the winter
season necessarily presents to out-door operations, have attain-
ed a degree of forwardness that could scarcely have been ex-
pected.. The long..projected new gateway. n.yhieh was to open
a view from the court-yard to the magnificent scenery of the
Great Park, has been completed. It is of the purest Gothic,
of a loffness and wi4th proportioned to the majestic building
of witch it is now the principal approach. The new entrance
tower, flanking this gateway, has already attained a consider-
able elevation ; but the greatest progress has been made in the
Beacon and Queen's Towers. An additional story, upon the
original model of the edifice, has been added to this part of
the building, thereby removing that dwarfish appearance
which the so ith and cast sides of the Castle presented, when
viewed from' the court-yard. The windows arc surmounted
with grotesque heads from the antique. On the east side of the
building the same system is pursuing; the round French win-
dows have be,n replaced by others suited to the original clia-
rac-er of the edifice, and the internal fitting up of the principal
state rooms is in considerable forwardness. His Majesty, after
stay•ne at the Castle for about half an hour, returned by the
same route to the Royal Lodge. where he dined. His Ma-
jes.y, this morning, attended Divine Service at the Royal
1,(d„:e. Yesterday afternoon her Royal Highness die Princess
Augusta arrived at Froginore Lodge front London ; and this
m.,raing her Royal Highness attended Divine Service at the
pariii Church, accompanied by her Lady in Waiting.
