The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Alexander, fit-
ting out at Portsmouth, has made further discove-
ries of the defective state of her hull, a considerable
portion of her stern planking inside and out, with
two of the timbers, having been found to be quite
rotten. Workmen have commenced removing the
rotten portions to replace them with new, but the
extent of the defective timber in the vessel cannot
be ascertained by these casual discoveries. On her
last station the Ariel is stated to have averaged a
very heavy sick list, and there is every probability
of the same thing occurring again during her pre-
sent commission should she be allowed to visit the
Tropics. The ship is exceedingly well manned.
The Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. J.H. Cockburn,was
docked yesterday at Portsmouth to make good de-
