" Starboard Division--Prince Rsgent, 90, Com-
modore Martin; Leander, 50, Captain S. C. Dacres ;
and Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson.
" Port Division—Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington,
C. 8.; Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K. 11.; La
Hogue, GO, Captain M`Dougal ; and Terrible, 21,
steam-frigate, Captain the lion. C. Hope, C. 8., to
windward.
" The Phaeton was ordered to take next to Lean-
der. Not many hours were allowed to pass before
the sailing of the new-comer was to be tested.
" At 9 A.m., per signal, the Thetis ran four miles
to leeward ; the others then formed on her. At 11
A.M., being all in fair position, started under all plain
sail ; wind E. by S., smooth water ; theiPhaeton had
much the advantage, beating the Thetis 1 mile in two
hours 50 minutes ; Leander, 14 ; the Indefatigable
and the Arrogant very much more. At 1.50 signal
to return to station.

" Supernumeraries were sent on board the Prince
Regent. People were rather surprised at Phaeton's
sailing, as well as her general appearance anti hand-
ling. So ended trial No. 1.
"March 14—In the morning Phaeton set up top-
mast rigging ; when ready, made sail and ran to
leeward.

TRIAL No. 2.
" At 11.30, signal to frigate—' Try rate of sailing
by the wind.' As soon as the ships were in good
position they started ; strong breezes. Wind, S.E. by
S., under single-reefed topsails, topgallant sails, jib,
and spanker. The Thetis held on to the Phaeton for
some time. 2.30 P.M. Wind, falling and variable ;
out reefs and set royals. 4 P.m , back to station.
" The Phaeton and the Thetis as far as one could
see, the wind latterly being variable, were I nearly
even, the Phaeton having a slight advantage ; the
Leander, the Indefatigable, and the Arrogant, were
much beaten.

TRIAL No. 3.
" March 15—At noon the frigates again started
by the wind, strong breezes, wind south, going 8
knots 8 lengths. The Phaeton was going tolerably
to windward of all ; at 1.25 tacked per signal. The
Phaeton's foretopsail yard was sprung, and this ended
her chance of the race, leaving the Thetis to beat the
Leander, the Leander the Arrogant, and the Arrogant
the Indefatigable.
" The Phaeton shifted foretopsail yards remarkably
well for the first time, but gave up the race, and did
not make sail when the wind fell light, but even then
beat the Indefatigable, when at sunset the ships re-
took their stations.

TRIAL No. 4.
" March l 6—Signal to try rate of sailing before
, the wind ; studding sails both sides ; course east ;
wind W. by S. ; speed 6 to 7 knots ; 0.45 P.M., short-
ened sail. In 4 hours 45 minutes there was hardly
any perceptible difference between the Thetis, the
Leander, the Phaeton, and Indefatigable. The Phae.
ton bad a slight advantage, and gained a few ships'
lengths. The Arrogant was 6 miles astern. 1.30
signal—' Steer N.E. by N.; try rate of sail-
ing,' the Commodore wishing to try what ships would
do ; wind 4 points abaft the beam. They set port
topmast, topgallant and studdingsails and lower stud-
dingsail. 5.40 P.m.—Phaeton shortened sail to top-
sails, and took station, having beaten Thetis mile ;
Indefatigable 1 mile ; Leander 1 mile. The Arro-
gant was not in the trial, as she never came up.
March 17—Sunday, a day of rest. The Ter-
rible went round the squadron and collected diagrams
of sailing.
" March 18-11.30--Made all plain sail her sig-
nal, and try rate of sailing on the starboard tack ;
royal breeze, smooth water. Wind N. k E. ; speed
from 6 to 7 knots. The ships had a good start.
Thetis and Phaeton close together, Arrogant a little
on Thetis's lee bow, Indefatigable from 1,500 to
2,000 yards to leeward. 4 r.ar.—Signal, Take
station.'
" Phaeton had beat, in 4 hours and 20 minutes,
" Thetis 2i miles to windward.
" Leander 4i miles to windward.
"Arrogant .53- miles to windward.
"Indefatigable 7 miles to windward.
"Phaeton thus beat the Thetis mere than half A
mile to windward per hour.
"March 19—Forenoon, squadron exercised, ma-
nceuvring and sailing in line of bearing. 1.50 p.sr.
—Signal, 'Try rate of sailing W.S.W.' Light
breeze from N.N.W., made all plain sail, and set
topmast and topgallant-studding-sails. 4.30. Signal
to take station, Phaeton having beaten Leander fr
mile, Thetis I mile, Arrogant and Indefatigable,
'Nowhere.'
" March 23-8.30 A.M.—Signal to close Thetis to
leeward. 9 A.M.—Frigates try rate of sailing by the
wind ; ships under topsails, topgallantsails, coursers,
jib, and spanker; smart breeze, wind N.E. by E.
E. 9.50 A.M.—Thetis set reefed royals, and soon after
the others set their royals. At 10.30 the Phaeton
tacked her signal. 10,30 Leander tacked. 10.45,
Thetis, Arrogant, and Indefatigable tacked. Breeze
very steady, but freshening a little. 10.50, signal to
show heel of ship. Answered as follows :—Arrogant,
3f degrees ; Leander, 4 degrees ; Thetis, 4 degrees ;
Indefatigable, 51 degrees ; Phaeton, 4f degrees.
"1 P.M. Phaeton tacked ; 1.45, Thetis and Leander
tacked ' • 2 r.m., Indefatigable tacked, and Arrogant at
2 30. Signal to take station. The result was about
as follows, as near as is correct to state :
Phaeton beat Leander .. mile.
Phaeton beat Thetis .. lt mile.
Phaeton beat Arrogant 1i mile.
Phaeton beat Indefatigable 3 miles.

" This was the best trial, and very decisive.
" Squadron arrived off Lisbon on the 26th, and
found the Arethusa there."

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 2.—Her Majesty's ship Superb,
80, Capt. Purcell, came in yesterday morning from a
cruise in the Channel, and anchored inside the Break-
water. This morning, under double-reefed topsails,
she went up Harnoaze. The Superb is to be got
ready in six weeks fur foreign service.
Woor.wicu, APRIL 3.—The Ariel steam-vessel,
fitted with a smoke-consuming apparatus, went down
the river to-day on an official trial, under the charge
of the proprietors of the invention, with their own en-
gineers, stokers, and others, to navigate and pilot the
vessel. Lieutenant Robertson, assistant to Captain
Henderson's steam department afloat at Woolwich,
and Mr. Taplin, assistant to the Chief Engineer at
Woolwich, also went in her to report the result to
the Admiralty. The vessel came down the river to
Woolwich in the forenoon, and continued running
up and down short distances until 12.20
when she left Woolwich, and proceeded down the
river, against tide, as far as Erith, and returned
to Woolwich shortly after three r.m. On this occasion
the proprietors hare demonstrated that the
ad
prin-
ciple of thoroughly consuming the smoke on board
or
steam-vessels is practicable. and the fires cn f
stoked without any inconvenience from the
.eitesmoke,
as was the case on former trials. The

This result was very satisfactory, and in the
event of the full power of steam being kept up
at all times, a very important desideratum
will be obtained, and a great saving
effected, as she run fur five hours on Monday with a
consumption of oue and a half tone of coals, her usual
consumption in the same period without the smoke..
consuming apparatus being two and a half ton. When
the vessel started she made twenty-three revolutions
per mioute, and during the whole trial tnede truth
twenty-two to twenty six revolution:, although her
engines are very old and much worn. The wind blew
a strong breeze to. day, testing the vessel fairly, and
she prevented a singular appearance, having no funnel
or masts. The great oljection which existed un
former trials of a close and heated air below strongly
mixed with an unpleasant sulphuric smell, arising
front the imperfect combustion of the coals and smoke,
was completely remedied to-day, and the air below in
the part where the fanners were at work was as pure
as on deck, with comparatively little beat in the ,
engine-room.•

In addition to the above deaths officially reported,
the folic:laving have also taken place during the quarter :
—Vice Admiral the Hon. D. H. Mackay, whose ser-
vices we printed last week ; Captain Rodney Eden, in
command of the Amphitrite, 26, in the Pacific; and
Lieut. Allen Wall (1815), late in command of Bally-
gaits, coast-guard station. •
Captain Eden's death is universally lamented at
home and abroad, for he was beloved by every one of
his acquNatance. The account of this gallant officer's
almost sudden death at Mazatlan, on the 11th of
January, was communicated in a letter from Lieut.
Walker, who had assumed the acting command of the
ship, to the British Consul at Tepic. The ship was
expected at San Was on the 15th of February, on her
way to Valparaiso and England with her freight. The
gallant deceased was son of Thomas Eden, Esq., by
Frances, daughter of Captain the Hon. J. Roden,
R.N., great-grandson of Thomas sixth Earl of West-
meath, and nephew of Commodore Eden.
Lieut. Wall, a much- rioglected officer, had served
on full pay '23 years. Re was horn September
23, 1790. His father was a merchant of stand-
ing in the city of 'London, and one of his rela-
tives, Governor Hollvvell, was for some time confined
in the Black Hole at Calcutta. Two of his brothers
were in the naval service ; one of them, a Lieutenant

of the Calcutta, 56, Captain Dan. Woodriff, was cap-
tured in that ship, after a gallant action, by the Mr.-
jeeteueux, 74, part of a squadron under M. Alle-
mend, Sept. 26, 1805. He was for many years a
prisoner in the fortress of Bitche; and on his return
to England, where he soon died, he published a his-
tory of his captivity, "The decea.sed," says O'Bvrne,
" entered the navy, August 18,.1804, as a volunteer,
on board the Helena, 15, in which sloop, on the coast.
of Ireland and among the Western Islands, he aided
in making prize, June 5, 1.805, of the Santa .Leoeadia,
Spanish privateer, of 14 gene and 114 men, and in
of ding, at different tirnes,eseveral recaptures. .In
December, 1.808, a. master's mate of the Demerara,
18, on the West Indian 'Station, in 1809-10, was at the
reduction of Martinique and Guadeloupe. At the
taking of the former island he wa3 in the first boat
tha4 touched the shore previ,,,usly to the storming of
Foal Edward. When in company with the Pultuek
brir, he was employed in the,boats in cutting out a I
letter of marque under the batteries of Cruadaloupe.
An attack of yellow fever• compelled his being sent.
on one occasion to the hospital at Antigua. On re-
turning to his ship he found but 20 living out of a I
crew con3isting . originally of 84. On the coast I
of North Anterien, while in charge of the Apollo, a
recarured shin t,f, eight guns, he beat off; with but
eight men on Heard, an American privateer, after an.
action of two hours, in the course of which, ha was
wouuckd in the ails. The Statira, 38.
~having re-;
taken ail Abn'rican brig, the Adelaide, Mr. Wall was I
sent on board during a fog, accompanied bv-three
men onle.. On the fog dispersing, he found himself
in the midst of an American squadron, whose pre-
sence obliged the Statira to make all sail. Left thus
to iik; own resources, he seemeel an American mid-
shipeeni and. mate, 'who hairbeen left in the prize,
made for the share, are', having go;: inside the rocks,
succeeded, • with the -asistance of a fiShing- boat, in
reaching in saf •ty the port of Shelburne. In January,
1813, being-Oil' his passage borne in the. Spye, store-
ship, he took part in ,a spirited engagement of an
hour and twenty minutes, which terminated in the
beating off, hT that vessel, of. a French national
schooner of, tar superior fn-ce. On the- following
morning, hoWever, the Spye was:captured by a French
frigate; .but in two days afterwards the British were
given up,at beingittnderato6d that they were not to
serve again (luring the war. NVe" mat' here mention
