intendentship of the Deptford Dockyard, on proraotion.

in the navy— an officer who is a C. 8., was formerly at the
Admiralty, and has recently paid off one of the happiest ship's
companies that ever sailed under the royal pendant.

92d Regiment, arrived at Corfu.on the 27th March, after a
favourable passage of 18 dap, from Cork; but in consequence
of a case of meaalei, and another of small-pox, the ship had
been put in quarantine'for a week, much to the annoyance
of the troops.

vonport from Woolwich on Friday, took in some stores on
.Saturday, and sailed on Sunday morning for Bermuda. -

her ballast re-stowed, was again taken out to sea on Thurs-
day, in charge of Mr.. Brown, master-attendant, and returned
on Friday aftenoon. She is said to have answered much
better, carrying her sails and standing up more stiffly, &c. ;
but it must be recollected that it was in an easy breeze and
smooth water.

accompany the Penelope to the coast of Africa, and serve as

56 feet high, but the light is elevated 302 feet above the sea,
and therefore, in clear weather, may be seen at the distance
of 22 miless. The light revolves so as to be visible at inter-
vals of 20 seconds or three times in every minute, and may
be seen in all directions from seaward.
The light-tower stands at the distance of 457 feet in from
the shore, and is in lat. 4G deg. 37 min. 12 sec. N., and long,
53 deg. 34 min. 52 sec. W.
Cape Pine lies 22 miles to the westward of Cape Brace,
and 103 miles S.E. by E. half E. by compass from the fixed
light on St. Pierre Island.
