The Marlborough, 120, building in this yard, is com-
plete in her frame. There are now four first-rate ships
standing on adjoining slips to each other in this yard, 'a
feature nowhere else to be met with in the kingdom, or
most probably out of it. The other ships are the Royal
Frederick, 120; Prince of Wales, 120; and Royal Sove-
reign, 120. The Royal Frederick has begin on the
stocks 10 years, so when the four will come off seems
rather a remote probability. The Royal Frederick is
built after the queen; the other three are upon the same
model, lengthened by six feet, being 210 feet long
between the perpendiculars, and 60 feet in extreme
breadth, with a tonnage of 3,185 tons. The original
designs for these ships were by Sir William Symonds;
the alterations have been made since the appointment of
Sir Baldwin Walker to the surveyorship of the navy.

the Bay of Naples, in 1802, and the siege of the
Castle of Ischia; siege of the fort of Santa Maura, in
1810 ; and campaign of 1813 in the Peninsula. He

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—IIer Majesty's steam.sloop
Magicienne, iu charge of Mr. Brown, secoi.d-master at-
tendant, having had her ballast shifted and restowed, left
the port on Thursday for a trial cruise in the Channel,
and returned again this afternoon.

The Retriburion steam-frigste, which arrived from
Lisbon on the 25th ult., having been refitted and coaled,
is now ready for sea, and is waiting sailing orders,which
will in all probability be for the Cape of Good Elope.
The Rhadamanthus steam vessel, Master Commander
Belam, which arrived on Tuesday from Sheerness with
arms and ammunition for the forces at the Cape, has also
shipped here from the dockyard 100,0001 in specie for
the same purpose. Her crew were paid wages in the
pay-office at the dockyard this morning, and in the
afternoon she sailed for her destination. A melancholy
event took place i❑ connexion with her departure. Mr.
Smithers Aldess, Inspector of Police at The Royal Wil-
liam Victualling-yard, accompanied by Mrs. Aldess, an
unmarried daughter, and Mrs. Mills, who is the wife of
Mr. Mills, one of the engineers of the Rhadamanthus,
left their residence in the yard, and proceeded to the
water's edge to observe the steamer going out of Ha-
111023 e. When on the Clarence-wharf where they waved
their hands to their friend on board, and immediately
afterwards Mr. Aldess fell in a fit of apoplexy brought
on probably by the excitement, and being conveyed
home, expired within half an hour. Deceased was 63
years of age, and was formerly sergeant-major of the
Woolwich division of the Royal Marines; OR retiring he
joined the Government police either there or at Dept-
ford, and came here several years since to undertake the
duties of inspector, from which he has been cut off in
such an untimely manner.
