The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, arrived yesterday
from Lisbon and Cork, and came into harbour to repair
defects. On going into Gibraltar one arm of the screw
broke, but did nut separate wholly from the boss, so that
in revolving it struck the tuck and keel, which injured
some of the planking; this caused a leak, which was
stopped at Gibraltar by bringing the ship by the head;
she is to be d, cked to examine the damage, as it is sup-
posed the shalt is strained, the bearings having
heated of working the spare screw which was shipped
at Gibraltar.

The Princoss Royal transport sailed this afternoon for
the eastward, with military invalids._

The C. nto. t, 12, Commander l',l'Murdo, was officially
inspected, and her clew mustered and exercised et Spit
head by Captain Purcell, of thu Superb, for the Com-
mander-in-Chief, after which she discharged powder,
&c., and sai:ed into harbour to dismantle and be paid
off. She hJs proved a most vfficienr, fait•sailing, and
wholesome vessel, and highly useful as a slave-hunter.

Wind—W. by S.; fresh breezes, and cloudy weather.

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS,

The 4th (King's Own) Foot vacated their quarters at
Wittche.ter on Saturday. and arrived at Portsmouth by
railway in the evening, to cc upy the newly-built and
commodious quarters, called Auglesea BArracks (near
the Linn gate), Portsea.
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, AUG. 11.—The Russian
steauier-ot-war Kthatschatka arrived here this morning
from Cronstadt and Revel, to take in coals and supplies
prior to continuing her voyage to Madeira. The
Kamtschatka had on board his Royal Highness the
])uke of Leuchtenberg and suite, who embarked at
Revel, their destination being the island of Madeira,
where the Duke has been recommended to take up his
residence during the ensuing winter to recruit his de-
clining health. Immediately upon the steamer's anchor-
ing iu Southampton water her arrival was telegraphed
to his Excellency Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambas-
sador, who promptly came down from London and pro-
ceeded on board to pay his respects to his Royal
Highness. The Duke of Leuchtenber, and Baron
Brunnow subsequently lauded from the l'Kamtschatka
and started for London by the afternoon train. The
Katntschatka will probably remain here a week, during
which time the Duke of Leuchtenberg and suite will be
entertained in London at the Russian Embassy. The
customary salutes were not exchanged by this steamer
with the town battery. The Kamtschatka is a remark-
ably fine steamer, and in every way adapted for warlike
purposes. She was built and fitted at New York in
1841 for the Emperor of Russia, and is of nearly 2,000
tons burden, and 550-horse power. Her armament is of
a formidable character, consisting of 8 and 10 inch
Paixhan guns on traversing carriages. She is full ship-
rigged, thus having the appearance and effect of a vent-
, able steam-frigate. _

The Mails—The United States mail-steamer Washing.
ton, Captain G. W. Floyd, is expected here on Tuesday
morning, the 14th inst., from Bremen, to load for New
York, for which place she is to sail on the 20th. Ia
cons, quence of the blockade of the rivers Elbe and Weser
having been raised to-day by the Danish Government, it
is anticipated that the American mail steamers Kill
henceforth resume their regular days for starting from
Bremen on the 15th of each month, instead of the 12th,
as recently, the latter date being rendered necessary
under the blockade by the refusal of the Danish Govern-
ment to permit the importation of coals for the supply_
of these steamers at Bremen•haven • and three days'
extra stay in Southampton was therefore imperative to
admit of the coaling being effected for the Atlantic
voyage. A number of foreign ships bound to German
ports have sailed from Cowes-roads during the past week
tor their various destinations in consequence of the ter-
mination of hosiilites and the free communication that
is now opened to the northern and Baltic harbours.
Many of these vessels have been lying in Cowes roads
for three and four months. The Royal Mail Steam-
packet Company's ship Tay, Captain G. M. Chap-
man, is appointed to sail on the 17th inst., with the
West India and Pacific mails. The West India
and Mexican mails due on the 22d inst. will in all
probability be brought home by the Avon, Lieutenant
13. Haat, RN., which vessel will receive them at
Bermuda from the Great Western to come up from
the Gulf' of Mexico, via Hayannah. The Thames is un-
dergoing repairs in Southampton, and is to receive new
boilers. The Teviot is also having a slight overhaul
-here instead of in London. The Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company's ship Ripon, Captain B.
Moresby, 1.N., will leave on the 20th inst., with the East
India, China, and Mediterranean mails. The Jupiter,
Captain Bowen, from Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and
Gibraltar, may be looked for on Monday evening or
Tuesday. The following mail-steamers are in the tidal
basin:—Tay, Thames, Teviot, Indus, Ripon, Euxine,
Paella, Madrid, and ontrose.

PLYMOUTH, AUG. 10.—The Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty are expected at Moorshead's Royal

THE ITARVEST.—Reaping has commenced in some
of the villiges adjacent to this city, and we under:tand
that the yield promises to be good iu quality and abun-
dant in quantity. We have heard nothing to induce a
'ear th-t, the potatoes are affected with disease.—Bristol
Mercury.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.— LYMINGTON, A.CG . 11.—
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Joint Lillington Badcoelt, of
this town, accompanied by his two sons, his brother, Mr.
Thomas .Badcock, and Mr. Alfred Clayton, both of this
place, went hence in a boat to the fishing-ground off
Boulner, Isle of Wight; after fishing there fir about
half an hour they weighed anchor to drop down with
the ebb tide to Bleck Rock, oil Yarmouth, with the in-
tention of continuing their amusement. Captain Lachlan
B. Mackinnon, R.N., was near them in his yacht, and
having learnt that Mr. Badeock's party was abort of
bait, he very obligingly offered them a supply, to obtain
which Mr. Badcock brought his boat alongside the yacht;
at tois moment a gust of wind caused the yacht's boom
to gibe, which carried away the cleat of the main sheet;
the boom thereby struck the boat's mast, and apreet of
her mainsail (vvtaAi was clewed up), and in an instant
the boat filled and sunk. Mr. Th. mas Badcock was
drug,ted on board of the yacht by Captain Alakinnon;
his crew, with all possible alacrity, jumped into the
yacht's boat at:d succeeded in saving Mr. Clayton and
Mr. J. L. Badcock, but the two sons of the latter, aged
respectively twelve and ten years, were drowned. Mr.
Badcock was in the water nearly twenty minutes before
he was rescued; he saw one of his sans sink near him
without a possibility of reaching him. Not the slightest
blame whatever is imputable either to Captain Mac-
kinnon or Mr. Badcock. The latter retired a short time
since from the coasting trade between London and this
place, and is very experienced in boat management,
which has been his favourite amusement. Captain Mac-
kirin.,n did all that skill and energy could achieve in
saving the lives of the three who were rescued, and
everything that generous sympathy could suggest alter
such a sudit n and heartrending bereavement. Mr. Dana.
COA is a member of the council of this borough, and
a
most deservedly respected by all his fellow-townsmen.
