PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.— The Eurydice, 26, Captain
Elliott, was towed out of harbour to Spithead this morning
by the Echo tug. She saluted on passing out. and presented
a very beautiful appearance. Much credit is due to her
master (Mr. Pascoe) for the very efficient trim in which the
vessel now is, and for many advantageous improvements in
her rig. We have no doubt but that the Eurydice will,
thus well handled, achieve a victory over her competitors,in
the forthcoming trial of sailing.
The Neptune, 120, advanced ship, was docked yesterday, to
have her copper overhauled and cleaned.
The Comet steam-vessel, Commander Pretyman, returned
from Plymouth on Sunday evening with supernumeraries.
The Pique, 36, was taken out of dock yesterday, to be laid
up for the present, it having been determined to lengthen
her by the bow 30 feet, for which purpose another docking
will be necessary, but which cannot be
lgiven her until the
ships now under process of refit are comp etFd

Workmen from the establishment of Messrs. Cooke and
Wheatstone, the inventors, commenced to-day to lay down
the wires across this harbour from the Clarence-yard to the
Port-Admiral's office in this dockyard, necessary for the pur-
pose of establishing an uninterrupted electric telegraph com-
munication from London into the Admiralty-house at this
port, for the use of the Government.

AN IRISTI NOTION OF ROGUERY.—Edward Lonergan
was found guilty and sentenced to fifteen years' transporta-
tion at Waterford, last week, for burglary and robbery. The
prosecutor, a poor farmer, stated that two men, the prisoner
and another, broke into his house at night and demanded his
money. One of them went over to the bed where his wife
lay, and took a spraneen (a little purse) from under her
head ; but not satisfied with what it contained, fell to beat-
ing the piOsecutor with a stick to force him to discover
where the rest of his money was concealed. The other thief,
who was armed with " a bitinderbush," went 4, mouching
about" till he found in a bole in the wall 5/. 55., with which
they decamped, telling the lawful owner that he was " a devil
of a rogue to hide his mosey is that manner,"
