The Retribution steam-frigate took a supply of- coals
on board to-day in order to try her engines in the basin
on Monday. She has taken on board her shot and shells
to-day, and will be made ready for sea in every respect
with as little delay as possible.
The Horatio, 24, steam guard-ship, when she went
town the river from Greenhithe on Thursday, had her
iteam up to try her engines, and they worked very
well, making, as it was calculated, although not officially,
a speed of about nine knots per hour. There were some
lefects apparent, as the steam-chest primed and part of
he works bested, but these detects will soon be reme-
died. It would evidently be advisable in future to build
such vessels for steam purposes as the Agamemnon, 80,
:wilding. promises to be, as the expense of converting
auch vessels as the Horatio into steam-ships cannot be
much less than the cost of building an entirely new ves-
sel, and the latter would be better in every respect, and
nave a better appearance, than the old vessels, the Ho-
ratio being described as having a very indifferent, if not
.an ugly look.

TU-eFirefly steam-►essel, Commander Tudor, arrived
at this port this evening from the coast of Africa station,
and is to be paid off here. Commodore Henry Eden is
to inspect her on Monday morning.
The Resistance troop-ship has taken on board the
greater part of the baggage of the Royal Artillery and
Royal Sippers and Miners, who are to proceed in her
co Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada. It appears
that when troops embark in her Majesty's ves-
sels six men are only allowed the rations of
four, that quantity being considered sufficient for
six men not doing duty during the period of their sea
voyage, and the same rule is adopted with supernutne
raries in the Royal Navy when proceeding abroad or
returning home. The men do not approve this regula-
tion, but instead of complaining they join together, and
purchase a quantity of biscuit for distribution amongst
themselves during the voyage. The Royal Artillery to
embark on Monday in the Resistance brought alongside
that vessel 24 sacks, containing about 27 cwt. of biscuit,
but it was not permitted to be put on board, and it had
to be taken on shore again, and was lying on the wharf
wall at eight o'clock P.M. Had the weather been wet the
whole of the biscuit would have been damaged, and the
Admiralty and Ordnance authorities would only be
doing jurtice to the men to grant them permission to
have a moderate quantity of an article so necessary to
insure the health and comfort of troops on a long voyage.
