PLYMOUTH, JAN. 24.—His Majesty's ship, Talavera, 74,
Captain E. Cheetham, C, 8., arrived here on Tuesday last,
from the Mediterranean. She left Vourla on the 18th Dee.,
Malta on the sd, and Gibraltar on the 11th January. Captain
Campbell, R. M., late of the Malabar, and a number of inva-
lids from the fleet, came home in here.

We hear that Captain Sir E. Lyon has declined aceelOq
the important command offered him in the Greek service.
The depot vessel formerly attached to the garrison at Ports-
mouth is ordered to be attached to the Seatlower as a tender,

His Majesty's ship Pique, 36, the Hon. Capt. De Roos, is
ready for sea, and will go out of harbour on Tuesday next.
His Majesty's schooner, Pike, 14, Lieut. Rrookiolif, Com-
mander, having had her defects made good, will go into the
Sound on Monday.
The Romney troop ship, Mr. J. Wood Master, wilt be

ready for sea on the 27th inst., and his Majesty's brig Scor-
pion, 10, Lieut. Robilliard, on the 28th.
The Meteor (steamer) put in here on Monday, and left, for
Falmouth and Lisbon, on Wednesday, taking out 30,0001. in
sovereigns. This vessel is filled with boilers of a new_con-
struction. In the first place, the boilers occupy much less
space than those of the old construction, 13 feet of the vessel's
hold, in the direction of its length, being saved. The boiler
is not traversed by internal flues, as in the usual way, but the
lower part or bottom is formed of a zigzag form, so as to de-
tain the caloric emitted by the fire, and to present as much
surface as possible to receive and conduct it. We understand
the steam is " got up" in about half the time required by the
old system, or in about forty-five minutes instead of one hour
and twenty minutes, and that the internal arrangement is
such, that the heated water is continually being displaced by
a cooler fluid. This constant circulation, it is expected by the
proprietor, will prevent any deposit of salt in the boiler. The
officers 0T the Meteor speak in high terms of the invention,
there being an excess of steam as well as draught of the fires. I
