ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA FLAG-SHIP WEL.,
LESLEY.—The iVellesley, 72, Captain George Gold-
smith, with the flag of Admiral the Earl of Dun-
donald, G.C.B. (blue at the main), arrived at Spit-
head on Tuesday, from Bermuda having been re-
lieved by the Cumberland, 70, 'Vice-Admiral Sir
George Seymour. The Wellesley came in through
the Needles—not a common passage for a ship of the
line. The Gallant Admiral landed at Portsmouth
late in the evening. The Sprightly, steam-tender,
was placed yesterday at the disposal of the Noble and
Gallant Admiral, and he landed at the dockyard about
eleven o'clock, accompanied by Captain Goldsmith
and his flag-lieutenant, to pay his respects to the port
admiral, the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel. Lord Dundonald
dined at the George Hotel, Portsmouth, yesterday,
and it was expected would strike his flag at sunset,
the Wellesley proceeding to Sheerness, where the
ship will be paid off.
DEPARTURE OF THE TURKISH SQUADRON.—The
Turkish frigate Mirati Zafre and the Turkish brig
Surai Bahir took their departure for Constantinople
yesterday, getting under weigh at Spithead at ten
A.m., having hoisted English red ensigns at the fore.
Both vessels saluted the garrison with twenty-one
guns, which was returned by the platform battery.
The wind being light from the southward, they had
to beat out, but were out of sight at five F.M.
Hogue, GO, screw-ship, Captain M'Dougal, weighed
at one P.M. at Spithead yesterday, and proceeded
outside the Nab light, under steam. She then made
sail for Cork. It is probable this ship will go to
Lisbon.

Ajax, GO, screw-ship, Captain Quin,
also weighed
at one P.M. and steamed out ; when last seen she was
still under steam, steering down Channel for Cork,
where she will remain, still having
of men. a reduced com-
plement Commodore Lord John Hay returned to Devon-
port Dockyard, from leave, on Monday evening, and
rehoisted his flag on board the St. George on Tues-
day morning, and resumed his duties in the dockyard.

pected at Devonport, from the Mediterranean, to be
paid off.
