Three of the captains' out-pensions of Greenwich Hos-
pital, relinquished on promotion, have bein conferred on
the following officers :
Captain George Hayes (1829), a brother of the late
distinguished Admiral Hayes, a lieutenant of 1793, and
commander of 1814. When lieutenant in command of
the Experiment, lugger, he beat off a French brig and
two row-boats of superior force ; was. lieutenant of the
the Lively, in St. Vincent's action ; and commanded the
Daring, gun-brig, in the expedition to Flushing in 1809.
Captain Edward Sparshott, K.H. (1830), a lieutenant
of 1807, and commander of 1821. He was lieutenant of
the Niobe at the attack on two French frigates under
the batteries of La Hogue, 1810 ; and destruction of
Amazone off Cape Barfleur, 1811 ; and first lieutenant
of a number of ships, and among them of the Rochefort,
with Sir Thomas Freemantle ; captain of Winchester,
and rendered important services in quelling an insurrec-
tion on the coast of Malabar in 1837, where, however,
he had the misfortune to receive a comi-de soleil.

Captain Samuel Burgess (1830), a lieutenant of 1799,
and a commander of 1816, a most distinguished officer
as a lieutenant. He was midshipman of the Impreg•
liable in Howe's action, and of the Isis in the expedition
to the Helder; senior lieutenant of the Sylph, when she
twice beat off the French frigate Artemise; and com-
manded the Carteret cutter in the attack on Granville,

the batteries at Cuxhaven and Gessendorf. Subse-
quently ho was flag lieutenant to Lord Exmouth on board
the Queen Charlotte, at Algiers.
Vice-Admiral Sir F. W. Austen, the commander-in•
chief in the West Indies, as we stated he would, left
Halifax in his flag- ship the Vindictive, 50, Captain
Stanley, on the 21st ult., for Bermuda. The Vesuvius,
steam-sloop, Commander O'Callaghan, left Halifax two
days before for the same port.
Commander Sir James J. Gordon Bremer, K,C.H.,
K.C.8., appointed to Woolwich bockyard, it is ex-
pected, will likely come up to Sheerness in the Terrible
steam-frigate, on his way to Woolwich, and will there-
fore keep his broad pendant flying until that time. The
Admiralty have offered Sir Gordon-this alternative.
Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the newly-appointed
Comptroller General of the Coast Guard, entered upon
thecodmutrnieasnodferhiisieonffirycejyamesetes La
con

Excellent, 48, gunnery-ship at Portsmouth, vice Wallis
promoted:
• The St. Vincent, 120, Captain A. Milne, flag-ship of
Sir C. Ogle, at Portsmouth, is ready at that port, but is ,
at least 50 seamen short of her complement.
The Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Lecke, flag-ship at
Devonport, has her full harbour complement of 760.
She had her lower rigging set up and her maintopmast
pointed on Saturday, and will be ready to leave the har-
bour on Wednesday. She is ordered by the Admiralty
into the Sound, where she is to be paid wages, and to be
kept ready for sea at the shortest notice.
The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, fitting at
Portsmouth, will not be ready for sea before the 6th of
next month. She is more than 100 short of her com-
plement of 430.
The Belleisle, 20, two-decked troop-ship, Captain
Kingcome, at the Nero, has drawn charts for the Medi-
terranean station and the South American station, and
is ready, to sail for Plymouth, to make her complement
of 290, of which she is about 25 short, and to receive orders.
The Crocodile, 26, will be ready for sea at Ports-
mouth, on the 26th inst. She will most probably resume
her old station as flag-ship, at Cork.
The Rose, 18, Commander Pelly, arrived at the Little
Nore on Sunday at noon, and saluted the flag of Sir
Edward King. Orders for paying her off at Sheerness
were waiting her, and she will go into harbour for that
purpose. Her complement is 130.
The Columbine, 16, sloop, Commander (now Captain)
Booth was at Bahia, from. Chatham, on her way to the
East Indies, Sept. 30, repairing damages, having sprung
her bowsprit on her passage out. As she is one of the
" intuitive" vessels, we presume that the bowsprit was
rotten, and was only intended to last exactly up to the
time when it was sprung. _ _

The Albatross, is, Commander Farquhar, hoisted the
pendant at Chatham on Thursday last. ller comple-
ment is now 120, 10 less than before.

The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, was yesterday
towed from Chatham to the Nore. She is ordered to
proceed to Spithead to have her compasses adjusted, and
will then be paid advance and proceed to the Mediter-
ranean to relieve the Syren, 16. This brig, as we have
before stated, has 120 men, her complement having been
increased by 10. She has been six weeks in com-
mission.
The Raven, 3, cutter, Commander Stephen, will be
paid off this day at Sheerness, and will then have her
defects made good, and be re-commissioned.
The Seagull, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Commander
Dickens, was paid wages at Devonport on Saturday, and
will be ready to sail fur Falmouth on Wednesday.
The Belvidere, frigate store-ship, Captain Layton, is
to be paid advance at Deptford, and is to proceed without
delay with her provisions to the west coast of Scotland,
where she is to be stationed as a provision depot for the
distressed population of the Highlands.
The Andromeda, store-frigate, Commander Gilbert, is
ordered to be sent from Cork to Killybegs, there to be
moored as a provision depOt for that part of the coast of
Ireland.
The Andromache, store-frigate, Master Commander
Thompson, has been ordered from Cork to Galway,
there to be moored as a provision depot for that portion
of the coast of Ireland. _ _ _

The Naiad, old 46 gun-frigate, Master Commander
Langton Brown, fitting at Portsmouth as a store-ship,
for Valparaiso, will be ready when she has received her
guns and anchors, and has been painted.
The Terrible, steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, as soon
as her defects are made good at Devonport, is ordered to
Portsmouth. to land the Royal Marines belonging to that
division, and then to Sheerness, with those belonging to
Chatham. She is to wait further orders at the latter
place. The Terrible has some defects, which arose from
an accident, and will take four days to make good. The
upper part of the framework near the inner bearing on
the port side, in consequence of the two main beams
having shrunk, has severed ; consequently she was
obliged to come on with one engine only, and under these
circumstances reached Devonport, from Lisbon, with 600
marines comfortably stowed, on the night of Thursday
last, having left Lisbon on the previous Thur°afit.t. at
TheTenelope, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, fitting
Ports Mouth, for Sir C. Hotham's broad pendant on the
coast of Africa, is daily picking up her crew by twos and
threes. Her complement is 260, to make up which she
requires at least 80 petty officers and seamen. Originally
we believe she had above 400 men, but the great mistake
in her " conversion" obliged them to reduce the number
to 320; and these she could•not properly stow. She has
now a less number of ginis, and will therefore be efficient
with a less number of naep.. , The Kroomen which she
dill get on the coast will fill up her number to above 300.
The Gorgon, steam frigate,. Commander Crouch, ar-
rived at Falmouth from Monte Video, has been ordered
to Woolwich to be paid off, having been in commission
since November, 1842. Her master, just promoted, and
the Assistant-Surgeon Evan Evans, are the only officers'
on board who have been in her during the whole tirue.,
It is well known that but for Sir C. Hotham, her late
gallant captain, and his equally gallant officers and crew,
this vessel, or her wreck, would have never left the
shore of South America.
