ship, Commander Hire, dated Hong Kenp., Jar.
27, state that she was then in .dock, and was to
proceed again to the North in the spring to embark
troops on their return from Tien-tsin. Some
anxiety was felt for the safety of the Chesapeake,
hut they had been allayed by the news neeived
subsequently from the frigate, which hal got on a
rock on some portion of the coast, and had remained
there for some time, which was the cause of her
non-appearance at the time expected. She is ex-
pected to return to England immediately, in coo.
sequence of her mishap.

Letters from Wellington, New Zealand, dated
Jan. 6, state that the hired steamship Robert Lowe,
had arrived there on that day from Auckland, with

The screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, Capt.
Fellowes, flag of Admiral John Smart, got up
steam on Wednesday, and went from Hameaze into
Plymouth Sound, for the purpose of ascertaining
the nature of the defects in her machinery. It
appears that the bearings are out of order, and that
theship is subject to an excessive trembling motion
when under steam. Mr. Ward, from Keyham yard,
and Mr. Steel,- of the -.Steam Reserve,
were on
board. In consequence of the state of the weather
she did not get beyond the Sound. She returned
to the harbour again in the latter part of the day.
