fect satisfaction in the sought arrangement. He.preserited
to Captain Hart a Persian horse of the pure breed. His
Highness's squadron was at sea, consisting of one line of
battle ship, two frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs. The
Imogene, in command of Captain Blackwood (he having
been restored to health) has been since despatched to
China. The Alligator, 18, Captain Lambert, is at New
South Wales ; the Hyacinth, Captain Blackwood, is to re-
lieve her ; the Magicienne, Captain Plumridge, is gone to
Zanzebar, with the reply to the Imaun's official despatch ;
the Curacoa; Captain Dunn, is in the Bay of Bengal ; the
Harrier, Commander Vassall, in the straits of Malacca.—
We are very quiet here, except among the officials in the
Government departments, who are all' by the ears,' the
conduct of Mr. Jeremie, of whom so much has heretofore
been stated, being in as bad odour as it is possible for any
public functionary to excite. His organ of combativeness'
is very large, and constantly developing itself."
Rear-Admiral Warren, in the Isis, 50, Captain Polking-
horn, was at St. Helena (having left the. Cape station) on
the 10th of August, on the way to the River Gambia, to

Carnatic, which sailed on the 9th of February, had not then
arrived.

The Victor, 18, Commander E. Russell, arrived from
Plymouth on Thursday, and came into Harbour to be paid
of. We regret to hear that when the Victor left Halifax
the preceding daily deaths, from the effects of cholera,
amounted to one hundred and fifty ; but not one case had
been officially reported as having appeared in the ships of
war.

The following ships; having been three years in commis-
sion, have been ordered to return home to be paid off :
Isis and Pluto, from the coast of Africa ; Magicienne,
Curacoa, and Imogene, from the East Indies ; Pearl,
Arachne, and Tweed, from the West Indies and North
America ; Samarang, from South America ; and Mada-
gascar, from the Mediterranean. _

- Rear-Admiral Sir G. E. Hamond, Bart., K.C.8.,
hoisted his flag this morning in the Excellent, as Com-
mander-in-Chief on the coasts of South America, which he
afterwards shifted to the Sylph tender, and sailed for Yar-
mouth. The Tartarus steamer, Lieutenant James, is to
take Sir Graham from his residence at Yarmouth to Ply-
mouth, whence he will proceed in the Talbot to assume his
command.

The Winchester, 52, Captain Sparshott, K.H., is daily
expected at Spithead from Sheerness, to receive the flag of

bourhood.

dress and Bengal, having taken in stock and embarked
passengers have sailed.
The Augusta Jessie sailed on Monday with convicts for
Sydney.

the eastward this morning), sailed this afternoon to the

The Vernon, 50, built on Captain Symonds' principle,
and the Barham, razee, 50, are to be fitted out precisely
alike, and make experimental cruises.
The extensive works at Sheerness dockyard are as yet
incomplete. Excavators and masons are now employed in
preparing the foundation and step for a large pair of shears
which are to be erected on the north-west wall next the
river, under which it is intended the largest ships shall be
hauled for masting or unmasting, as occasion may require,
to obviate the necessity for going into the basin.

We are informed that a suggestion was made to Lord
Auckland (on his recent official visit to this port) not to
permit any more young gentlemen to be admitted into the
service until the very large number of passed mates and
midshipmen are provided for. If there is any foundation
for the report that there are treble the quantity required
for his Majesty's ships, the thing could be done with ease ;
it is simply making a regulation, to commence on the Ist
