she will be paid off now.

The Alecto steam-sloop, Commander Austen, arrived at
Monte Video from England on the 22d of January.
The Curacoa, 24, Captain Sir T. Paley, was at Maldonado
on the Ist of February.
The Harlequin, 16, Commander Curry, left St. Helen's
yesterday morning for the Meditteranean.
The Sparrow surveying ketch, Commander Otter, together
with her tender, sailed yesterday morning for the coast of
Scotland, but was driven back to St. Helen's by the violence
of the weather. They will be employed in the ensuing
summer in surveying the Hebrides.
The Adventure (naval transport), with stores for Ply-
mouth and Pembroke yards, got under weigh about the same
time from Spithead. When these two vessels sailed the wind
was moderate from the westward; about eleven o'clock it
shifted to S.S.E., and blew strong, with heavy
rain, until
nearly two, when it again changed, and blew hard with
heavy squalls from W.S.W. As they have not returned, we
conclude they must have taken shelter either in Portland or
Yarmouth roads—most probably the latter.
Vice-Admiral Sir W. H. Gage, with Mr. Corry, Secretary
to the Admiralty, came down here yesterday on a special
visit, to look at the St. Vincent, with a view to her contem-
plated alterations, and other matters. They paid a visit to
the Excellent yesterday. They returned to town to-day.
The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, hauled off

derer takes out specie for the Commissariat Department at
the Cape of Good Hope.
The Childers, 12, Commander Pitman, is rapidly pro-
gressing towards readiness for sea, in the basin. She shipped
her tanks yesterday. She is expected to be ready for sea
about the 24th inst.

The Rapid, 10, Commander Gallwey, sailed from Madiera,
for the coast of Africa, on the 12th ult.
Tha Contest, new class 12-gun brig, built by Mr. Joseph
