PORTSMOUTH, JULY 4.—The Amphitrite, 25, Captaine
T. R. Eden, sailed from Callao for Honolulu, on the 21st
of April. She left Valparaiso Bay on the Ist, and joined
the Asia, 84, Rear-Admiral Hornby, and Champion, 14,
Commander Hayes, off Coronmilla Point. On the next
day the trial of sailing between these ships commenced
and lasted a week, with a good strong wind blowing the
whole time—a circumstance most favourable for the
object in view, namely, to test the relative qualities of
the ships and the efficiency of their crews; and the re-
sult was that the Amphitrite beat the flag ship in every
point of sailing and working; the Champion having, as
might be expected, a slight advantage over both the
larger vessels in very light winds, close hauled, but in
strong winds, running free, she was hull down in "no
time."

Tho Pantaloon, 8, Lieutenant Townshend, was taken
into the South Dock this morning to have her copper
broomed down, prior to being sent to sea again under a
new commander, a piece of economy and good manage.
ment we hasten to give the Admiralty credit for.
The Ajax steam guard ship was brought from the
steam basin to the dockyard jetty to-day, supposed to be
prepared for commission.
His Majesty the King of the Netherlands has ho-
noured M. Louis Arnold Van den Bergh with the decora-
tion of the " Netherlands' Lion," as a mark of his
Majesty's appreciation of the services rendered by M.
Van den Bergh as his Majesty's Consul at this port. A
similar mark of distinction was conferred on his father,
now a veteran official of 83, in 1835, in acknowledgment
of his conduct to the detained Dutch shipping during the
embargo in 1832.
