chier, destined for the same quarter, left for Plymouth on
Friday, where a party of men await her. The ships are
laden with warlike stores, to act against the Chinese, and
have been detained by strong adverse gales. Several au.
pernumerary Lieutenants, to join the Wellesley, 72, and
strung detachments of Royal Artillery and Marines, have
proceed,d in these ships. The Nimrod. 20, and Pylades,

stationed as a depot for captured negroes, the Crescent,

despatches for Rear-Admiral Ross and Commodore Sul-
livan, also a draf of boys for the squadron. Lieutenant
Nott, appointed to the President, flag-ship, likewise took a
passage in the Crescent.
The beautiful ship, the Magicienne, 24, is commissioned
at this port by Captain William Burnett (1834), and the
rvette Pearl, 20, at Sheerness, by Commander Chatles
Frankland (1825).
The Andromache, 26, Captain Baynes, C. 13., is nearly
ready in the harbour, and will shortly follow the squadron
to the West Indies, touching at the Mauritius.
The steamer Glearrier is cormaissioned in the river by
Lieutenant John Jeayes, of the Coast Guard Service, for
service on the Irish station.

The Columbia steam-transport, Mr. A. Thomson, mas-
ter commanding, has proceeded to Plymouth and Cork,
with a great portion of the late crew of the Pembroke,
72, paid cff at this port.
The Inconstant, 36, Captain Pring, is gone into Ha-
moaxe, from Barbadoes, to be paid off, it is understood,
all standing. She left Carlisle Bay on the 12th January,
with General Sir S. Whittingham on board, having been
relieved in the command at the Leeward Islands on the
previous day by Lieutenant-General Meister. The In-
constant has experienced tremendous weather, but has fully
maintained the reputation of her projector and builder the
late Rear- Admiral John Hayes, C. B.
By the lamented demise of Rear- Admiral Sir Frede-
rick Maitland in the East Indies, the command is vacant.
Rumour assigns it to Earl Minto's brother, Admiral Elliott,
now commanding at the Cape.
