THE NAVY.

The Triton, 3, paddlewheel steamvessel, Lieut.-
Commander Robert H. Burton, arrived at Spithead
yesterday from the West Coast of Africa. Her
dates are—Sierra Leone, Dec. 8; Teneriffe, Dec. 20;
and Vigo, the 2d inst. Fine weather was experi-
enced until reaching lat. 37 N., when on the 24th
and 25th December she was obliged to lay to in con-
sequence of a heavy gale, accompanied by a high
sea from the westward. The Triton was commis-
sioned at Woolwich on the 17th October, 1857, since
which time she has been constantly employed in the
suppression of the slave trade, in which she has been
most successful, having captured six vessels, one of
which had 600 slaves on board; the remaining five
were empty, but one of them had on board specie to
the amount of £2,000. All the officers who left
England in the Triton have returned home in her,
with the exception of a mate and an assistant engi-
neer, the former of whom was promoted, and the
latter returned to England on appointment to ano-
ther vessel. The ship has been remarkably healthy
during her commission,the following being her return
of deaths on the station, from which it will be seen
only one arose from the effects of the climate:—Wm.
Brisley, ship's steward, drowned, Feb. 20, 1858, in
landing through the surf to obtain bullocks for the
ship; D. Thomas, carpenter's crew, Dec. 3, 1858,
disease of the heart; E. Muggleton, A. 8., Nov. 8,
1858, from injuries received by falling from aloft;
J. Williams, A. 8., apoplexy, April 24, 1859 ; C.
Bluett, A. 8., drowned by falling overboard from a
prize on her passage to St. Helena, Aug. 30, 1859;
J. Chase, stoker, fever, Sept. 24, 1859 ; W. Murphy,
musician, consumption, Sept. 26, 1859. The follow-
ing movements of the coast squadron are reported :
The Arrogant, 46, screw, with the commodore, ex-
pected at Sierra Leone; the Falcon, 17, screw, on
her passage from south to north coast ; the Espoir
at Ascension ; the Prometheus ordered from north
to south coast ; the Alecto at Lagos Nov. 24 ; the
Torch at Sierra Leone ; the Ranger left Lagos Nov.
24, on a cruise ; the Bloodhound gone up the Niger.
The Archer,Wrangler,and Sharpshooter on the south
coast. The Spitfire was ordered to England, and
had left for St. Paul de Loando, with the Pioneer
(of Dr. Livingstone's expedition), which vessel she
was ordered to tow to the southward, proceeding to
England via:Ascension. The slave trade was greatly
on the increase along the coast, and the American
cruisers had made many captures. The coast was
generally healthy. The Triton is •ordered to pro-
ceed to Woolwich to dismantle and pay off.
The Duncan, 101, screw two-decker, at Ports-
mouth, was yesterday brought down the harbour
and placed under the sheers for the purpose of
shipping a three-Eaded propeller.
The Megezra, screw trospship, Commander Hen-
derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from ser-
vice in the relief of troops at the Channel Islands.
The entire space of ground between the first and
second docks at Chatham, which is of considerable
extent, has been completely cleared of the sheds
and other buildings which formerly stood upon it,
several of which had been erected a great number
of years, in order that the site may be cleared and
levelled for the erection upon it of the workshops,
sheds, and forges for the use of the mechanics and
engineers who will be employed in constructing
the large iron-plated mail-clad steamer ordered to
be built in the adjoining (No. 2) dock. The con-
tract for the erection of the workshops has been
taken by the firm of Messrs. Grissell and Co.
The gunboat Redwing, tender to the gunnery
ship Cambridge, conveyed Capt. Jerningham yes-
terday from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound,.where
that officer inspected the crew of the screw steam
corvette Jason, 21, Capt. E. Von Donop.
The War Department steam vessel Lord Panmure,
Mr. Moore, master, from Woolwich, with ammuni-
tion and war missiles, arrived in Plymouth Sound
on Sunday, and went immediately up Hamoaze.
She is now alongside the gun-wharf Devonport,
discharging her cargo.

Ordeis have been received at Devonport to supply
all first-class ships in the navy with gigs 30 feet
long, instead of 23 feet, as heretofore.
According to the statement after inspection, the
condition of the screw steam flagship Royal
Albert, 121, Captain Henry Lacon, at Devonport,
is so doubtful that a special report has been
made, and until the result of the deliberation on
that report is known it is uncertain whether she
will continue in commission.

Navy whose deaths have been officially reported to
