2HE NAVY.

The Hero, 91, screw, Capt. G. H. Seymour, C.B
which had sailed on Friday from Spithead to join
the Channel fleet, put back to that anchorage on
Saturday morning, with the loss of her fore yard,
which had been carried away in a heavy squall
from the W.S.W. off St. Catharine's at 5 a.m. the
same day. The broken yard was towed ashore by
the Comet steamtug, and the irons, &c., landed at
the dockyard at noon. By 3 p.m. the new yard
had been fitted with the irons, leathered, and
launched into the water off the King's Stairs, in
readiness for towing off to the ship. The Hero
again sailed from Spitbead at 7 a.m. yesterday, but
brought up in St. Helen's Roads, the weather look-
ing wild and unsettled, with a strong breeze from
the westward.
The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8.,
steamed into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday from
Spithead, and berthed alongside the Bellerophon
hulk, to await orders from the Admiralty. From
the very defective state of the ship's hull, her en-
gines, and boilers, it is very probable that her offi-
cers and crew will be turned over to another vessel,
rumour says either the Bacchante or Shannon.
The crew of the screw steamship Brunswick, 80,
Capt. Ommanney, at Plymouth, were paid off on
Friday. The Marines, Marine Artillery, and sea-
men belonging to Portsmouth, took passage in the
steam tender Avon, G. Day, second master com-
manding, which sailed the same afternoon. On
Saturday the Brunswick was towed to her moor-
ings in ilamoaze.
The screw steam frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. Cock-
burn, at Devonport, has been supplied with a new
figurehead.
The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain
Sotheby, in Plymouth Sound, was swung, and had
her compasses adjusted on Friday. On Saturday
her crew were inspected by Captain Jerningham,
of the gunnery ship Cambridge.
Her Majesty's screw yacht Fairy was undocked
. from No. 1 dock at Portsmouth on Saturday. The
Fire Queen, paddle, Master Commander Paul, was
afterwards placed in the same dock.
The steam gunboat Torch, which has been built
for the Admiralty by private contract, arrived at
Chatham on Saturday to be surveyed.
Ten Armstrong guns, recently received, are now
lying at the gun wharf, Devonport.
The following appointments were made on Fri•
day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. H. Jones,

Crewe-Read, whose term of service has expired ; C.
