The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Ana-
lius Beauclerk, when she left Portsmouth received orders
to proceed to Cork, and it is probable the Squadron f
Exercise, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Napier, will rendezvous at that excellent an-
chorage. The squedron, with the numerous marines
on board, may prove of great service in the present
unsettled state ot the sister island.

A dr.adful accident occurred yesterday afternoon in
the dockyard. to Juhn West, a labourer, who was at the
crane on lteed•'house•wharf, landing timber from a ves-
sel alongside, when the chain sling broke, and the timber
fell across the man's left knee, crushing is to pieces, the
part only held together by pieces of flesh; the force of
the blew scattered the bits of bone from the part about
the ) ard. The poor man was placed on a plank and
carried to the surgery, where amputation above the knee
was immediately performed; thence he was taken to
Melville Hospital, where ho lies i❑ a precarious state.
West resides at Chatham, and has a wife and three
children.

THE COAST OF AFRICA.
SIERRA LEONE, MAY 21.—News has arrived here of an
outbreak up the river Sherbro; the natives up there have
been robbing and stripping the brother of the Colonial
Secretary here—a very serious business, and the Governor
represented to the Commodore of the British squadron
that a man-of-war should be sent up immediately, which
was about being complied with, when the Governor re-
solved on going himself with troops. Her Majesty's
10-gun brig Alert, Captain Hugh Dunlop, is going up
the Sherbro to demand satisfaction for this daring out-
rage. The Governor of Sierra Leone and troops go in
the brig.
On Wednesday, the 17th inst., an English steamer, a
trader, came into this port in charge of a lieutenant of
the Alert, abandoned by the crew in consequence of the
Alert putting a shot in her stern. It appears this
steamer, although a regular legal trader, is con-
cerned in supplying the Spaniards with provisions
for the slavers ; the Alert was in chase of a steam
slaver, which had been chased by the boats of
her Majesty's brig Heroine (whom she beat off
after firing at them), but lost sight of her, and coming
across this steamer afterwards thought her the same.
The Alert hailed the vessel four or five times, but got no
answer. She then tried to get across her bows, so the
brig fired twice ahead of her, which not bringing her
to, she put a shot into ber stern. Those on board then
cried out she was sinking, although the shot hole was
soon plugged up, and the crew all abandoned her;
and signed papers all but one. The case will be put into
court, as the Alert claims salvage for saving her, which
the steamer's master disputes, as the brig was the cause
of her abandonment by firing at her, but justification
is pleaded by the brig's captain on account of his hay
ing frequently hailed the steamer without getting any
recognition or reply. The captain of the steamer said
he was sick, and the mate " no how," and they mistook the
brig for a pirate. The steamer is an old hull, but insured
at 3,5001., owned by a Dutch house here ; one of the firm
is generally in her. From all I can gather from both
sides of the question, it appears perfectly natural that
Captain Dunlop should firo into the vessel, conceiv-
ing, ai every one would do under such circumstances,
that as she did not make any reply, signal, or number
when repeatedly hailed, nor even when her bows were
fired across, that she must be an enemy, and she cer-
tainly bore every outward appearance of being a steam
slaver.
This part of the coast is becoming very unhealthy
again, and some sickness and death has already taken
place in the division of the slave-hunting squadron em-
ployed on it. Unhealthy weather and an unhealthy
season appears setting in. Her Majesty's brig Rapid,
Captain Dickson, sails from this at daylight to-morrow
morning, with a supply of fresh provisions for the divi-
►ion of the squadron employed on the southern part of
the coast.
