- tie sailing three-decked ship Princess Charlotte,
Capt. G. St. V. King. which left Portsmouth on
Friday last in tow of the steam frigate Leopard, for
China, and whose progress, in consequence of the
news from the East Indies, was suddenly arrested
in the Channel on Sunday morning, left Plymouth
finally yesterday morning at half-past 4 o'clock.
She got under way on Tuesday afternoon, but the
hawser by which she was attached to the Leopard
having been snapped by a strong breeze from the
south-west, she was detained until yesterday. The
Princess Charlotte, while lying in the Sound, was
inspected by Brigade-Major Ibbetson, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining her capacity for the conveyance
'of troops to India. There was ample space for 300
men, but the lower deck ports being caulked, it was
impossible to secure sufficient ventilation, especially
for the tropics. The Princess Charlotte is ordered
to touch at Madeira for water, and ,to set up her
rigging. After calling at the Cape of Good Hope
she proceeds direct to Hong Kong. She has the
spars and rigging of a 50-gun frigate, and mounts
only 12 guns. Her officers and crew are 490 in
number. She has a large quantity of shells and
ammunition for the army, and paints, oil, tar, ma-
chinery, &-c., for the fleet, and it is supposed that
on arrival she will be converted into a barrack-ship.
Vice-Admiral of the White Edward Harvey, C. B.
&c., arrived at Sheerness on Tuesday evening, and
yesterday his flag (white at the fore) was hoisted on
board the Formidable, guardship of ordinary.
The Victor, 6, screw' steam gun-vessel, Com-
mander Algernon F. R. De Horsey, was paid off
at Sheerness on Tuesday.
Lord Bloomfield, her Majesty's Minister at the
Court of Berlin, went yesterday, accompanied by
the Dowager Lady Bloomfield, Major Moller, and
a numerous party, to Woolwich garrison, and were
Present at a field-day of the troops on the common.
In anticipation of his lordship's visit the squadron
of Royal Horse Artillery, in command of Colonel
Wood, C. 8., and the remnant of the field battery
corps, in command of Col. Teesdale, ware ordered
to assemble in field-dayorder on the review ground.
Major-General Sir W. F. Williams resumed the
command of the garrison for the occasion, and pro-
ceeded to the ground at half-past 12 o'clock, accom-
panied by his visitors, and attended by Colonel
Bloomfield, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and Se-
cond Commandant of Woolwich, Brigade-Major
Shaw, Lieutenant-Colonel Teesdale, Aide-de-Camp
to the Genera], and a numerous staff in undress
uniform. On their arrival the band of the corps
performed the national anthem, when the troops
commenced marching past, retired to the left,
and approaching the centre fired a volley, which
was repeated will extraordinary rapidity several
times. The rain induced the company to withdraw,
when, after a few evolutions, the troops again
wheeled past and retired to quarters. The visitors
thence repaired to the gymnasium, after an inspec-
tion of which and visiting the institution, Museum,
dsc., appertaining to the establishment of the Royal
Artily-ry, the party (consisting of about 20 rola-
ti-ves and personal friends of Colonel Bloomfield)
were entertained at a repast in the mess-room. They
subsequently witnessed three rounds of mortar
practice performed by Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel
Fortescu's 6th company of the 11th battalion. 21
shells were fired at an elevation of 45 degrees ovor
a range of 600 yards at the usual butt, a flag-staff
erected on the common. The practice was pro-
nounce" extremely successful. The 'visitors left '
Woolwich at five o'clock, and returned to London.
A number of extra hands have been appointed to
cpmplete the screw steam-ship Edgar, building at
Woolwich, which is ordered to be completed for
being launched about Aptil next. A new steam-
ship of a similar dimensions or thereabouts, to be
called the Anson, is ordered to be laid down in the
same slip after the launch of the Edgar.

stores from Woolwich Arsenal for Hong Hong.
The freight ship Harrowby is likewise chartered by
Government to convey Ordnance stores from Wool-
wich for Hobart Town.
