Letters have been received from the European
and American Co.'s screw-steamer Argo, whose ar-
rival at St. Vincent's, on the way to India with
troops, was reported by the Medway. After leav-
ing Portsmouth they met with heavy winds from
the S.W., with high seas for the first week, but
from that time hai fine weather and light winds.
An extract from one of these letters says—" Every
one on board is in excellent health and spirits, and
I think I may say there is not a discontented man
in the ship out of 900. Wednesday (the 2d inst.)
we astonished the natives by having a cricket match,
which went off very successfully—tents pitched and
band playing. The Australasian, with the head-
quarters of the 68th, and the Medway, which takes
home this mail, arrived here yesterday afternoon,
and we are consequently quite a party in this deso-
late island. Coaling is very slow here, labour being
extremely scarce, and Captain Benson thinks the
6th about the time we shall get away."
Intelligence was yesterday received at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engineers, Brompton Bar-
racks, from India, of the following casualties which
had occurred in the 23d company of the Royal Sap-
pers and Miners at Lucknow :—Killed—Colour-
Sergeant Philip Morant and Corporal Alfred Ger-
many. Severely wounded—Sergeant Edward Hol-
man, Sapper Henry J. Welch, and Sapper Thomas
Thom, since dead. Slightly wounded—Corporal
Frederick Morgan, Second Corporal Peter Duff,
Sapper John Stokes, Sapper James Heggie, Sapper
William Harris, and Sapper Henry James.
The shipbuilding department at Chatham Dock-
yard now presents great activity, in consequence
of an Admiralty order which has been recently
received directing the completion, with all possible
dispatch, of the screw steamers and other vessels
now constructing at that establishment, in order
that several additional large steamers may be after
wards laid down.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :

Lieutenants—C. D.wßobinson to the Russell ; R. H
Swinton to the Russell.

DEATH OF VICE ADMIRAL SIR
J. COODE, K. C. B.
__ _

- - The death of this venerable flag-officer has been
'announced. This gallant officer was born on the
11th of February, 1779, at Penryn, Cornwall, and
entered the navy, 16th of June, 1793, as A. 8., on
board the Perseus, 20, Captain George Palmer ;
but in the following month, became midshipman
of the Bellerophon, 74, Captain Thomas Pasley ;
and continued until January, 1795, to serve in that
capacity, with Captain Francis Pender, and the
late Sir George Murray, on board the Resource, 26,
Glory, 98, and Resolution, 74, on the home and
Halifax stations. For upwards of four years Mr.
Coode was next employed as acting lieutenant in
L' Esp erance, 18, Captain James Rose, Rover, 18,
Captain George Irwin-under whom he was wrecked
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in August, 1798-
Dasher, 18, Captain George Tobin, and St. Albans,
64, Captains Pender and John Oakes Hardy.
Having been confirmed in the latter ship Septem-
ber 5, 1799, he was subsequently, in March, 1809,
and April, 1810, appointed first lieutenant of the
Southampton, 32, Captain John Harvey, and Le-
viathan, 74, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral John
Thomas Duckworth, on the West India station ;
where, in the former ship, he assisted at the reduc-
tion of the Danish and Swedish islands in Marcb,
1801. On August 3, 1802, Mr. Coode was pro-
moted to the command of the Stork sloop ; but, re-
maving soon afterwards to the Druid, 20, returned
home, and on the following October was paid off.
17atil advanced to post rank, October 21, 1810, his
next appointments were-in Dec. 1803, and April,
1805, to the successive command of the Atlas,
armed ship, and Brisk, 18 ; in which latter vessel
he appears to have captured on the Cork station,
Jan. 12, 1810, Le Harpalode, privateer, of two
guns and 54 men. Assuming command, in Jan.,
1814, of the Porcupine, 22, as flag captain to Rear-
Admiral C. V. Penrose, the subject of this sketch
took in many of the operations then in progress on
the north coast of Spain, and was stationed at the
mouth of the Adour when the passage of the bar
across it was so memorably effected by the flotilla
under that officer. He also accompanied the arma-
ment that soon after forced its entrance into the
Gironde ; and, when in command of the advanced
squadron at Pauillac, originated the instructions
which led to the capture and destruction, on April 2,
of a large flotilla by a detachment of boats under
the orders of Lieut. R. Graham Dunlop. From
Sept., 1814, until paid off, May 21, 1819, Captaia
Coode further served with Sir C. Penrose, in the
Queen, 74, and Albion, 74, on the Mediterranean
station, where, however, he commanded the latter,
as a private ship at the bombardment of Algiers,
Aug. 27,1816 ; on which occasion, although unable
since to procure a pension, he was severely wounded.
He was subsequently appointed, Jan. 6, 1838,
Captain Superintendent of the Royal William Vic-
tualling yard and of the Royal Naval Hospital at
Plymouth, but had been unemployed since Feb. 13,
1843. For his gailautiy at Algiers he was nomi-
nated a C.B. Sept. 19, 1816 , ICF 11!1 , by the King
of the Two Sictlies, Nov." 6, 1818.. and also a
K. W.N. by the King of the Netheil-Ind

REAR ADMIRAL MILNE.
Calia Alex. Milne (1839), who h9comes rear
admiral of the blue by tho death ofVice Admiral
Coode, is the youngest son of one of the int st dii-
tinguished heroes of the old war, Admiral Sir David
Milne, G.C. 8., the steond in command :o the gal-
lant Exmouth at .Algiers. Captain Millie entered
the Royal Naval College February, 1817, in the
eleventh year of his age, and went to sea in 1819.
He was made
a lieutenant in 1827, having served
in various ships in North America, South America,
West Indies, and Braz:Ls. Re was made a com-
mander in 1830, after three years' service at Brazil;
but did not get an appointment until 1836, when
be commanded the Snake, 16. In this vessel he
served in the West Indies, and captured several
slavers, and, after obtaining the rank of captain in
1839, in command of the Ortoooe
Ndileew ifuoutnheland and
West
dln-
dies, he was in charge of h
Labrador fishezies, and subsequently made other

captures of slave vessels by his active cruising. He I
paid off the Crocodile in 1842, and was flag captain
to his father at Devonport from 1842 to 1845, during
which time he most ably commanded the old Cale-
donia, 120, in the experimental trial sailings. In
1846 the present admiral of the fleet, Sir Charles
Ogle, selected this excellent officer as his flag cap-
tain at Portsmouth, when, in the subsequent trial
sailings, he commanded the flag ship St. Vincent,
120, and afterwards as flag captain to Sir Charles
Napier ; commanded the St Vincent in the experi-
mental fleet until he was called to Whitehall by his
appointment as a member of the Board of Ad-
miralty in December, 1847. For more than 10
years Admiral Milne has been a member of succes-
sive boards—one of the working bees of the hive ;
he has had various departments' under his superin-
tendence, and the improvement and progress that
have been made in each and all mark the value of
his services to the navy and to the Government.
It will not be forgotten that he was the superinten-
dent lord of the transport and victualling depart-
ment of the navy during the late war with Russia,
when it may be fairly said the admirable arrange-
ments of the navy saved the army from starving.
He has ever been a most valuable authority on all
matters of business, and is generally regarded as
one of the most hard-working public servants.
