A letter from Suda Bay (Cense), dated Ist August,
says :—" A Turkish squadron arrived off Canes on Sun-
day evening, and anchored in Sirda Bay on Monday
morning. It consists of two line-of•battle ships, a three
and a two decker, the letter bearing the flag of the
Capitan Paella; three frigates, two of them large double-
banked ships, one bearing the flag of Mustapba Pacha;
a small steamer, and a cutter. They have come, I be-
lieve, from the coaot of Albania, arid will in all proba-
bility remain here for a fortnight."
Alecto, steam-sloop, to be repaired at Woolwich, will
be four months under the hands of the dockyard people.
The renewing of this old steamer will cost at least
6,0001., or two-thirds as much as would construct a
steamer that would carry twice the armament that the
Alecto has ever c2.rried. Tho repairing this ship is
literally throwing good money after bad.

lost 30 feet of false keel, and rcade four inches water an
hour.

Portland, 50, Captain Chads, fitting at Devonport for
the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Moresby, is ordered to
have a poop. She will not be out of the hands of the

rather, if a frigate had been decided upon, that such a
ship as the America had been preferred.
