Rifleman took out seven tons of ballast before leaving
Lisbon, and appears better than hitherto; but is not a
vessel fit to accompany a squadron; in strong breezes
she is best, but ing so low abaft, it would be impos-
sible for her to run in a sea.
The Harlequin has not done much yet; the Plumper
and Reynard are cc rtainly equal, if not superior, to her.
She tuck a Spanish brig in tow, tho Mariner, which
vessel had been run down by an English barque, from
which she had lost her foremast and maintopmast. The
Harlequin towed her into Caliz, and came on here.
The Pumper, Rt,yuard, end Orestes had a trial of
sailing on a wind, earring all sail; rate, five to six miles
per hour. After four hours, Plumper beat dead to wind-
ward of Reynard nearly two miles; Orestes beat to
windward of Reynard about one mile.
The Sidon and Polyphemus have hoisted the white
ensign, being under the orders of Sir C. Napier.
On the 29th the Sidon took Mr. Hay, Chargé, to
Tangier.
The Admiral inspected the Prince Regent yesterday,
and found her in a most efficient state.
The Sultan steamer came in last night, from Constan-
tinople, which vessel takes the mail to-day.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Superb, 80, Captain.
E. Purcell, was taken into the basin this morning, prepa-
ratory to her being docked as soon as the Collingwood
can be removed.
The Racer, 16, Lieutenant-Commander H. Bacon,
sailed this evening, with supernumeraries, for Devouport,
The Sparrow surveying ketch was unlocked to-day.
Wind, westerly; light airs and hazy weather.
WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—The Monkey steam-vessel,
Master-Commander Bryant, the Charon, and the
Zephyr steam vessel, had their steam up to-day, and
were in readiness to tow the Black Prince, 72, to moor-
ings in the river, previous to her being taken round to
Chatham, hut the tide did not rise high enough to allow
of her being taken out of the Intsba to-day.
Fifty boiler-makers in the factory department have
received the usual notices, that after the present week
their services will not be required, in consequence of a
reduction of the number of men now employed baying
been decided upon.
The average number of convicts who have been ena-
p?oyed at the dockyard for some time past:has been nearly
400, and it is contemplated to increase the number to
550 ; as the Warrior convict ship has ample accommo. -
dation for them.
