The Channel Squadron.

TORBAY.

On Thursday morning, the 9th of August, the
Channel squadron got up their anchors. The Admi-
ral led them out towards the Start Point ; a fresh
breeze from north-west was blowing, with a heavy
swell from the westwards ; they were in two lines
as before, the fla.2shin
line, then the Hector, then the Liverpool. On the
port beam were the Achilles and Pallas. Nothing
in the way of evolutions took place that day. Towards
evening sail was made, Mae fiv.a vaecels standing a wav
south-west, under steam and-san, ~.loze hauled on a
wind, and standing off and on, with difficulty mak-
ing any progresa towards Falmouth. When morning
dawned the Achilles and Pallas were a Jong way
astern. The Lizard was about 30 miles on the port
bow.

About 8 o'clock signal was made " prepare two
targets" to each ship. About 9.30 they all went to
general quarters, and the battle was begun. Each
ship dropped a target overboard and steamed slowly
round it at 1,100 or 1,200 yards.

The firing of shot, shell, and grape was kept up
incessantly for two hours.
The four ironclads formed a magnificent marine
,4 quadrilateral." There was quite enough swell on
to try their gunnery capabilities, of which it may be
fairly said that the aim was quite as correct as is
generally seen from wooden ships under similar con-
ditions.

The engagement terminated a little before noon
by the discharge of a concentrated broadside of shot
and shell fom one battery of the Caledonia, the
effect of which seemed formidable enough, as, far
and near, along the foaming and furrowed bosom of
the ocean, the storm of projectiles swept on. The
consumption of coals during the last 24 hours showed
that the Liverpool had used 18 or 19 tons, and the
ironelads about one-third more. In the afternoon
the flagship steamed towards Falmouth ; all five
ships anchored there at 5 p.m., and the Helicon then
came in.

PLYMOUTH, Monday Evening.

Yesterday at noon the armour-plated ship Lord
Clyde hove in sight from the eastward and proceeded
down Channel close to the land.

At 4 this afternoon eight ships belonging to the
Channel squadron hove in sight from the westward,
under steam. They consisted of six armour-plated
ships, a frigate and a despatch boat. Admiral Yel-
verton was leading in the Caledonia, followed by
the Achilles. The Liverpool was in the rear. To-
wards 5 o'clock they set their head sails, and con-
tinued their course to the eastward.
At 7 o'clock they were off the Bolt-head under
full steam. ......
