names of the officers were as follow :—Major lob-

On Tuesday the Lord Lieutenant, with a large mi-
litary party, held an inspection of the 79th Regi-
ment and of the battalion of the Rifle Brigade re-
cently arrived. Among the dark ranks of the lat-
ter two men were conspicuous who had recently
received the Victoria Cross for "valour" from the
hands of their Sovereign, besides other well well-
won proofs of daring in the recent Crimean cam-

patgn.
Toe 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 ha'f-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 s,rong breeze from the
w south-et, she was detained uf.til 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 hasA 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.

&c., arrived at Sheeruess on Tuesday evening, and
yesterday his flag (white at the fore) was hoisted on
board the Formidable, guardship of ordinary.

mander Algernon F. R. De Horsey, was paid off
at Sheerness on Tuesday.

Court of Berlin, went yesterday, accompanied by
the Dowager Lady Bloomfield, Major Moller, and
a numerous party, to Woolwich garrison, and were
',resent at a field-day of the troops on the common.

panied by his visitors, and attended by Colon,-1
