The Channel Squadron.

FALMOUTH, Saturday Morning,

On Friday evening the Liverpool screw frigate,
accompanied by the four ironclads, Caledonia (flag
ship), Achilles, Hector, and Pallas, joined later in
the day by the Helicon despatch steamer, arrived at
Falmouth from Torbay, and anchored in the western
bay, where it is said they remain till Monday.
The fleet appeared in first-rate order, and the
wind was moderate, at west, when they came to an
anchor.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. B.—This morning, at 9 o'clock,
the Channel squadron weighed anchor and stood
out for Torbay, steering south, and making S.S.E.,
the wind fresh from S.W., the barometer low
(about 29.80). The weather was inclined to hazi-
ness, and no evolutions were attempted.
A good opportunity was afforded of observing
the behaviour of the ironclads. One thing seems
clear enough—they can stand any amount of sail,
and are as stiff as a church. The Achilles had her
station appointed one mile and a half on the lee
beam of the flagship. She asked permission to dis-
connect her screw. To this she had to put her helm
up and keep away. When it was done her distance
must have been at least three miles to leeward
of the flagship. She asked permission to leave
station, which was granted. Under single-reefed
topsails and topgallant sails she shot right up to
windward, placing herself on the Admiral's weather
beam. The barometer continued to fall. A regular
Channel fog seemed to settle down, shrouding sea,
sky, and headland in one dull, dense drizzle. The
Admiral gave the order to proceed to Torbay.
Although no trial of guns was made, the sea got
up a little in the afternoon, which enabled the
lookers-on to see that the ironclads regarded not its
power. Had it been far more violent they would
have been perfectly safe. If not so dry on the
upper decks as the Liverpool, they could all have
used their batteries efficiently. The day, therefore,
cannot be considered lost, although less was done
than would have been accomplished with more
favourable weather.

BURGLARY AT ST. LEONARD'S.—£ISO WORTH OF
JEWELLERY STOLEN.—A burglary was effected at
Miss Pemberton's, 33, Warrior-square, St. Leonard's, on
Tuesday night, and jewellery to the value of £l5O stolen.
The robbery was committed between the hours of half-
past nine and half-past ten. The thief entered by the attic
window, ani broke open several boxes, wardrobes, &c., in
two bedrooms, decamping in the same way. There were
bolts on the upper doors according to the police instruc-
tions, but the servants had neglected to fasten them.
LORD GLASGOW V. THE RAWCLIFFE STUD COM-
PANY.—At Leeds Assizes, on Friday, Lord Glas-
gow sued the Rawcliffe Stud Farm Company for negligence.
It appeared that Brother to Bird-on-the-Wing was sent to
Rawcliffe in the autumn of 1864, and when Lord Glasgow's
groom went for him in July, 1865, he was stone blind in
the near eye, owing, it was alleged, to negligent treatment
after he hurt his eye one night whilst in a loose box. The
damage was estimated at £lOO. The defence was that the
horse must have been rolling, and got "cast," and that pro-
per attention was paid him as soon as he would allow the
grooms" to approach him. A. verdict 'was given for his
3=104 Damages, 9119 Waling.
