PORTSMOUTH, Marten 10.—His Majesty's gun-brig
Recruit, 10, Lieut. Hedges, arrived on Tuesday from a
cruise, and sailed on the following day for Plymouth, with
supernumeraries for ships at that port.
His Majesty's gun-brig Leveret, 10, faiut. W. F.
Lapidge, arrived from Plymouth on Thursday, with super-
numerary seamen for ships at this port, and Marines he-
longir►g to the Eastern Division, and returned on the fol-
lowing day.

The Mercury, tender to his Majestty's ship Ocean, (flag-
ship at Sheerness), arrived from the river on Fri!lay, and
will return in a day or two.

His Majesty's ship Ganges, S 4, Capt. G. Burdett, ar-
eived on Monday from the Mediterranean station, for the
purpose of being paid off at this port. She sailed from
Malta on the 28th of January from Corfu, in company
with his Majesty's ship Alfred, 50, Captain R. M,unsell,
which latter ship afterwards petted company. The
Ganges left at Malta his Majesty's ship Donezal, 7*,
Captain J. Dick, which ship was expecting to slit shortly
for England with the slst Regiment. Ne skip of war of
any nation was at Malta; the only one that bad been
there for some time was a Russian frigate, and she had
sailed a few days previously to the 'Ganges's departure.
The Ganges arrived at Corfu on the 3rd of February,
and having embarked four hundred and ninety-nine
officers, men, women and children, of the 18th,
or Royal Irish Regiment under the command of
Colonel Burrell, she sailed for England on the 3tl of
February, leaving there his Majesty's ship Rainbow, 28,
Captain Sir J. Franklin, Knt., and Pelican, 18, Corn. J.
Gape, the latter being about to sail for Patras. His Ma.
jesty's ship St, Vincent, 120, Captain H. F, Senhouse,
bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral the Her.. Sir Henry
Hotham, K.C.8., and Barham, 50, Captain H. Pigot,
C. 8., were at Napoli di Romania. The Ganges, not
Laving left Malta since her arrival in the Mediterranean,
brings no news of the squadron on that station. She
passed through the gut of Gibraltar on• tL 2.2 d of Feb.,
making her number to the garrison. One hundred and
twenty men of the 18th regiment were left at Corfu, to be
brought home in the William Harris transport, whieh was
daily expected to arrive there from England. The Ganges,
in winking up from the eastward, with a foul wind and
stet tide, got on shore on the Warner bank, but after re-
maining there for several hours, floated off in the evening,
en the return of tide, and came up to Spithead without
having sustained any injury. She brought home the fol-
lowing passengers, viz. : —Captain John Ilindmarsh, pro-
inoted from his Majesty's ship Scylla, Lieutenant A.
Murray, of his Majesty's ship Meteor, surveying
yew.] ; Lieutenant A. Reed, of his Majesty's ship
Donegal, appointed to his Majesty's ship Kent,
since paid off ; Mr. F. Cook, late Acting Master of
His Majesty's ship, Ferret; Mr. John Caught, late Acting
Master of His Majesty's ship, Pelican ; two smugglers,
whose periods of service had expired, and thirty invalid
seamen from the squadron. Mr. Thomas Weeks carper.
ter, died at Coifu on the 3d of February. where he was
interred. The Ganges was towed into harbour, on Fri-
day, by His Majesty's steam-ve-sel, Confiance, under or-
ders to be pa?al off into Ordinary. The troops were dis-
embarked on Wednesday at Gosport, and have since occu-
pied H.sler and Fort Moncton Barracks. The circum-
stances attending ►he getting on shore of the Ganges have,
we are happy to hear, been explained to the entire satis-
faction ni the Admiralty, so much so, indeed, as to render
any further inquiry by the Court Martial, or otherwise,
nunecessary.

'His Majesty's brig, Pantaloon, 10, (tender to the Royal
Ueorge, yacht) Lieut. W. Dawson, returned from Ply-
mouth on Friday, having on board Lieut.-C,I. Graydon,
R.E. and Mr. F. W. Sadler, Master cf His Majesty's
ship Victory, who proceeded in her front this port to make
trial of an instrument of the Lieut.-Co'ooel's invention,
for determining latitude and local attraction. We tin-
ders:an i tk,r, the result of this trial has fully confirmed
the views of the inventor, in establishing the complete effi-
ciency of the instrument in correcting the influence
of the local attraction of the vessel on the compass,
This result will, in a great measure, or wholly, prevent
those mistakes which so frequently arise from a micaku-
lation of a ship's source, from the errors of the compam
to correct which the very ingenious plate of Profe,sor 13 ,r-
-low, termed the Correcting Plate, was constructed. It
is well known to all naval men that any considerable
change in a ship's cargo, in the position of her guns, her
anchors, from the great quantity of iron which is now
used in the construction of ships, and which by any
change of position brings the compass more or less within
its influence, will produce such an effect on the magnetic
needle, as to divert it from its otherwise natural course or
direction, and it is also well known that this diversion has
been the cause of numerous accidents, and even shipwrecks.
It is the peculiar province and purpose of the celestial
compass to enable the observer to detect this deviation, by
a single observation, unconnected with the horizon, and
independent of all calculation. The invention will, we
imagine, be found particularly serviceable to ships fitted
with Captain Phillips's patent capstans, which have large
quintities of iron in their composition, and with those
which are now made with wrought-iron spindles placed in
a vertical position, and which act as a very powerful at-
tractive.

The Arab transport, Lieutenant Harris, Agent, arrived
oa Tuesday from the Mauritius, last from Plymouth, with
the bead-quarters of the 82d Regiment, which were landed
at Cowes on Thursday last, for Albany Barracks.
The Lady Harwood, male convict ship, received on

movals have taken place in the above corps:—Brevet
Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Adair, C.B. is promoted to
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the corps, and ap
pointed to she Chrham division, vice English.—Brevet

His Majesty's Ship Athol, 28, lately arrived f.om the
Coast of Africa, will shortly be dock d, and probably be
broken up. She was built from larch, grown on the es-
t ite of the late Doke of Athol, whence her name. The
Noble Duke planted enormous quantities of larch trees, by
way of experiment, and the Atbol wag built at the same
time as the Niemen, the former of larc'e, the latter of Riga
fir. This was done, by enter of the late Admiralty, in
order to ascertain tte comparative durability of these twa
kinds of tie.ther. About three years ago, these two ships
werg. "surveyed at this Port, and the result of the survey
appears to have been in favor of larch timber over 11,ga,
as the Niemen was broken up immediately after the sur-
vey. Larch timber 1; not however fit for building large
ships, its lengths being so short.
We mentioned en a former occasion, that His Majesty's
Ship Prince Regent was to be fumigated. on account of
its having had the erisipelas on baud. This order has
now been contradicted, and directions given to adopt a
new process, as suggested by Pr: Burnett, the head of the
Medical Board. She is to be first well washed with hot
soap and water, and afterwards with vinegar. Chloride
of lime and ventilation will comple the process.
ti is Majesty's Ship Britania, 120, Captain Peter Rainer,
C.B. will go nut of harbour to Spithead in about ten days,
and is expected to he ready to proceed to sea the latter end
of next month.

Marseilles —The Scylla at Tripoli.—The Ganges passed
within three miles of the spot where Grahem's Island was
Brat discovered, hut it had entirely disappeared. It is
supposed that the strong south-east winds, which had pre-
vailed for some time, had dispensed it. The Captain of a
merchant vessel had sounded about a week previous, and
found seven feet of water.—Tide Ganges also brought
home 40 invalids from the squadron. In working up for
the anchorage at Spithead, with a N. W. wind, end nearly
low water, she shot rather further a-head when in stays
than was calculated on, and grounded on the Warner
Bank. The Confianee steamer, and every ether necessary
assistance, was promptly sent to her, and with the imme-
diate flowing tide she was cot off without receiving any
injury. She is to be paid off in this harbour, and laid up
in ordinary.—Captain Hinsimarsh, promoted from the
Scylla, came home passenger in the Ganges. The 18th

KILKENNY ASSIZES..-MARCH 7.

Early this mottling a number of Lancers were de-
spatched through the surrounding country, and even as f r
as Golden, six miles off, in expectation that some move-
ment would be made on the part of the peasantry ; but
there was nothing seen to justi'y the least apprehension.
At eight o'clock p.m. the fifty-three prisoners werb
marched through the streets from the County Gaol to the
Court-house, handcuffed to a long chain, guarded on each
side by a file of Grenadiers, precedod by Lancers, and fol-
lowed by Infantry. The prisoners walked in silence, but
did not appear dispirited. The streets were not much
crowded at that early hour; no exclamations were heard,
but the female spectators prayed for them devoutly as they
passed along.
Count Czapski arrived from Dublin yesterday to witness
these interesting trials. The Rev. Luke Gardiner M Do-
nald, eurWe and tithe-agent of Graig (whose seizure of
the horse of the Rev. Mr. alle, priest of that p ,rish, has
led to the virtual abolition of tithes), also occupied a con-
siderable share of attention. Gintrary to expectation, the
streets and court-house were not crowded by peasantry to-
day. Neither is there any news of agitation in th.f country.
The Catholic clrgy are successfully exerting themselves
to point out to the peasantry the necessity of repressing
outrage, and of I estoring the arms of which they have
possessed themselves by nightly violence ; and it is now
admitted that the Whitefect outrages are on the decline in
this county.
