WooLwlcH, Meaux 15.—Surgeon-Superintendent
William H. B. Jones, M.D. (1837), to the Aurora hired
convict-ship.
Surgeon Richard Carpenter (1842), to the Penelope
steam-frigate at Portsmouth.
First Engineer Hugh Roberts, o the Echo steam tug-

Master's-Assistant John M. Missing, to the Fisgard
flag-ship at Woolwich.
THE BRAZIL SQUADRON.
The following is an extract of a private letter, dated
January 10:—
"bur squadron has lately been increased to a suffi-
cient number of vessels, but they are complained of as
being too large for the service required of them, and,
unfortunately, steamers require a great deal of engineer
repairs. This has lately been the case with the Cor-
morant, 6, Captain Schomberg, and Conflict, 8, screw-
sloop, Commander Drake, thereby causing some suspen-
sion of their active employment.
" A sad accident has befallen the Geyser steam-sloop,
CoMmander Tatham, she having struck on an unknown
sunken rock, between Illa Grande and the Main. striking
on her starboard bilge when going a-head at full speed.
She immediately made for the harbour, and could barely
keep herself clear of water by applying the steam power
to her pumps. She is being cleared, for the purpose of
lightening her, with great expedition, and then the ex-
tent of her damage will be more fully developed. As it
is, she must keep one wheel turning whilst at anchor, to
frets herself of the water, and thus the admiral is deprived
of her service for some months.

The flag-ship Southampton has been capturing slave
vessels—that is, by her tender, the Harpy steam-vessel,
for she it is that did the business while she lay quietly
at anchor. On the sth of January, having information
of a vessel, reported as a slaver then beating out, she
proreeded in chase and captured her about six miles off
the port. The Brazilians occasionally take vessels ar-
riving from the coast; but the temptation of a bribe they
cannot resist, and so connive at their fitting out."
