of April :—" British squadron ]) ing here.—The Raleigh,
50, Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert; the Daphne, 20,
Captain Fanshawe; the Driver, steam sloop, Commander
Johnson; and the Lizard, iron steamer, Lieutenant Hol-
linworth. The foreign ships are the following :
French—Constitution (flag-ship), Erigone, Astralabe,
and Triomphante corvettes; Adonis, Alcibiade, and Tac-
tique brigs; Grondeur and Fulton steamers. The French
Admiral is at present at Buenos Ayres, with the CH-

—Brandywine frigate, with a second-class Commodore's
pendant. Brazilian—Donna Francisca, Bertioga, and
Berenice corvettes; and Olinda brigantine. Sardinian—
The brig Eridano and schooner Tansa. Monte Video
is iu a most wretched state, deserted by all
the foreigners, and trade in consequence stagnant.
Roses' party still surround the country near this. An
armistice is talked of, but what the result of it will be
no one can tell. All the officers of the squadron are
suite tired and disgusted at remaining at anchor so many
months in this dreadful state of inaction. Her Majes-
ty's ship Driver will sail hence to-morrow for Valpa-
raiso, making the passage via the Straits of Magellan.
It is uncertain when the Daphne will be allowed to pro-
ceed to the same destination. The Tweed, 14, Com-
mander Lord Francis Russell, left this a few days ago
for Rio. The Hydra steam. sloop, Commander Skip-
with, has been at Rio for some months past, and there is
a talk of her being sent home on account of her defec-
tive machinery."
Wind—W.S.W., fresh breezes and fine weather.
PLYMOUTH, JULY 4.—Her Majesty's brig Ranger, 8,
Commander Thomas Miller, sailed this morning for the
coast of Africa, taking the mails for Madeira, Cape Verd
Islands, Sierra Leone, and Ascension. She was to have
left on Monday evening, but has been detained by con-
trary winds. Her mail was made up yesterday, and let-
ters for the ship were put on board this morning. This
smart little brig was commissioned on the 15th of June,
with clear hold, ballast landed, and stripped to a girt
line, commenced entering her men on the 16th, the 18th
being her first working day. She went out of harbour
on the 30th in every respect (with the exception
th:f
powder) ready for a full commission, with fourmo
provisions on boord. When paid advance,

RAGGED ScuooLs IN LONDON.—Yesterday the
sale of fancy tirades at the London Tavern, on behalf of
the funds of these schools, was resumed and concluded.
Lord John Manners attended, in compliance with the
wishes of a deputation of ladies, and expressed his deep
sympathy with those who were endeavouring to support
ragged schools, institutions which, in his opinion, were
calculated to confer the greatest benefits on that class of
the population which had hitherto been entirely ne-
glected. The ill success which has attended the present
attempt to promote the interests of the Metropolitan
Ragged Schools has not damped the enthusiasm of
those who are desirous of effecting the reclamation of
our juvenile population, but more vigorous efforts will
still be made in this directipu,
