relief of the distressed Irish. On Tuesday she proceeded
to Waterford, where she would land another moiety of
the 80,0001. From Waterford she would- proceed to
Cork. No other man-of-war was at Kingstown when
the Comet left.

sian corvette Abo arrived here from Naples on the 11th
instant, bound to Cronstadt, has been since detained
by light contrary winds. During her detention Captain

visited the Port-Admiral, Sir John West. Admiral-Su-
perintendent Sir Samuel Pym, and other heads of de-
partments.
In company with the Russian Consul, Mr. Luscombe,
the following gentlemen attended the ball given on Mon-

WooLwlcii, SEPT. 17.—Her Majesty's steam-packet
Garland, Captain Smithett, has resumed her duties on
the Dover station, having been absent three weeks,
attending on the Queen during the royal cruises. The
Garland appears to have gained great favour with her
Majesty from the extraordinary speed she manifested
the whole time she was with the royal squadron, no
other steamer having the smallest chance of keeping pace
with her, much to the astonishment of every officer and
person on board the other vessels.
The Garland is ordered to be at Ostend on the 20th
inst., to meet Lieutenant Waghorn, R.N., who is ex-
pected to arrive there on that day with the overland
mail from India, vid Trieste, Germany, Belgium, &c. In

ment. _ _

The Aurora corvette, belonging to his Majesty the
King of Sardinia, and commanded by Captain the Mar-
quis Spinola, arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock P.M.
yesterday, and remains at moorings opposite the Dock-
yard. The gallant Captain came on shore at eleven
o'clock A.M. to-day, and accompanied the Sardinian
Minister to the Royal Arsenal. There are betwixt 30
and 40 officers employed in, or studying for,. the naval
service of the Sardinian Government on board, who have
come to this country to visit the principal naval and
military establishments in England.
The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, remains
opposite
the Dockyard, Woolwich, and a number of ship
carpenters are employed upon her to get her ready for
sea. A very serious accident occurred on board on
Tuesday evening on her arrival at Woolwich, imme-
diately after her return. It appears that two fine able-
bodied seamen were stationed at her bows to let go the
anchor to hold the vessel in the river, and that by some
means the cable caught hold of them, and tore off the
left arm of George 'Bone, and three fingers of the right
hand of William Bayly. The sufferers were immedi-
ately attended to, and in the course of the night brought
on shore to the Royal Marine Hospital, where they re-
main, in a better condition than could have been expected
under the circumstances and the severe nature of the
injuries they have sustained.
The Emily and Henry hired convict-ship, with 176
female convicts on board, hoisted her sailing signal this
morning, and is expected to leave her moorings, opposite
the Royal Arsenal, in the course of the afternoon.
