Dated the Bth day of May, 1851,

New Liverpool 'freight-ship 'arrived at Devonport from
Portsmouth on Wednesday, and embarked a detachment of
the 23d Regiment. She would have sailed on Thursday
morning had not the wind shifted to west in the night, and
blown hard all dey. As soon as the weather moderates she
will sail for Cork, and fill up her complement of troops, and
sail for Quebec. • .•
PORTSMoUTH, FRIDAY.—A fatal boat. accident occurred
here this morning. The gig of Captain Harris, of the Prince
Regent, 90, was coming trom Spitheaa to Southsea beach,
about a quarter to nine o'clock, when she was capsized by a
sudden puff of wind and a heavy sea striking her simulta-
neously. She had six hands in her (a coxswain and five fine
first-class boys), one of whom, named Charles Hawkins, was
drowned before assistance could be rendered them.
THE TURKISH SHIPS AT SPITHEAD.-- Yesterday morning
their Excellencies Geenaleddin Pacha, Lieutenant-General
(and brother-in-law, of the Sultan), and Mustapba Pacha.
vice Admiral of the Turkish navy, arrived here by express
train from London, and were received a the station by Com-
mander Sir G. Webster, Bart. Their Excellencies' visit was
strictly incognito; they proceeded immediately on board the
frigate Mirat Zafir, mustered and inspecied h-r, after which
they visited the brig for the same purpose. The inspections
lasted four hours. The progress the crews of these vessels have
made in gunnery, and the general good conduct of their
officers and crews during their prolonged stay in this country,
elicited their Excellencies' warmest commendations, and Com-
mander Sir G. Webster received their thanks for his uncle.
viating attention to his charge. As a mark of their
satisfaction, all the mates serving in these vessels (four in
the frigate and two in the brig) were promoted to the rank
of Lieutenant, and the petty officers and some of the
crew received similar proofs of approbation. Their
Excellencies returned to town by the 6.30 P. 24. express
train ; but it is their intention to pay a visit to our dock-
yard before they leave England. The steam-frigate Feiza
Baari is undergoing repairs at Woolwich, and will be ready
in about a fortnight's time, when these distinguished visitor.,
will return to Constantinople in her. The lower masts and
bowsprit of the frigate Alirat Zafir, which were known to
be defective some time ago, have been. surveyed this
morning, and rerorted rotten. Application will therefore
be made to this dockyard for a new set, and she will
probably re urn into harbour early next week for the pur-
pose of taking in her new ones, The Bey, although aware
of their state, did not like to take the responsibility of ap.
p:ying for a nee' set without the sanction of his Admire:,
although urged to do so by Sir G. Webster three months
ago. We regret to add that one of the sentries on board
the Mirat Zafir, whilst walking his post on the forecastle
during Wednesday night, fell overboard, and although the
alarm was immediately given, and boats lowered, he sank
before they could: reach him, being encumbered by his
great coat and accoutrements. The body has not yet been
picked up.
