• PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate
Thetis, 40, Captain Kuper, having had her rudder un-
shipped, was docked yesterday. On the water leaving
it was found that she had not received much damage
by touching the ground on the 24th of September, off
Redding Point, Mount-Edgcumbe, when beating out
of the Sound on her voyage to Lisbon. Her false
keel is slightly grazed both on the starboard and port
sides, and " lists" of elm about three inches wide
have been inserted to make good defects. The arti-
sans of the yard worked continuously on her all day
to finish repairs, to take off and replace three sheets
of copper found worn at the load line and to cleanse
her bottom, which was very foul with mussels and
weeds, more than a ton being swept off, and rendered
her quite incompetent to make a fair, trial of her sail-
ing qualities with those of the Phaeton- and other
ships belonging to the Lisbon squadron.' It was not
found necessary to lift the Thetis 'to making good de-
fects. She is represented to have caught just before
the main chains upon a "pinnacle" of a rock, having
good depth of water forward and aft. The Thetis
was undocked this evening; her guns and stores will
probably be put on board by Wednesday, when she
can go out of harbour and speedily be ready for sea.
The Sprightly steam-vessel arrived to-day from
Portsmouth with seamen for the Portland, and re-
turned again the same day.
The Portland, 50, Captain Henry Chads, is pro-
gressing rapidly in her equipment, and is expected
to be ready by the 20th inst.
The brig Martyn, under the charge of Mr. Mills
and a party of seamen and riggers, came in to-day
from Pembroke. She is to be unrigged.
The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain H. W. Giffard,
sailed on Thursday with supernumeraries and stores
for Lisbon, and will proceed to the Mediterranean.
The officers and crew of the steam-vessel Firefly,
Commander George A. Seymour, were paid advance
on Thursday, and she went into the Sound. Yester-
day (Friday) she sailed for the coast of Africa, touch-
ing at Madeira.

The officers and crew of the transport Adventure,'
Master. Commander Peter Wellington, were paid off
yesterday, at the pay-office in the dockyard.
The Tyne sloop-of-war, 22, is ordered to be com-
missioned in place of the Adventure, which is found
unfit for service. The Tyne will be barque-rigged.
The Turkish frigate Mirat Zafir, Captain Mehomet
Bey, and the sloop of war Surai Bahri, are expected
hourly at this port from Constantinople. Mr. T. W.
Fox, jun., Turkish Consul for Devon and the Chan-
nel Islands, has instructions to prepare for their re-
ception. The ships have comp'.ements of 1,200 men
in all, and will remain some time here.
The Right Hon. the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe fell
overboard yesterday afternoon, when landing from
his yacht in Barn-pool. His Lordship uses a butt
peculiarly constructed of two punts fastened together
at the stern, described as forming a very convenient
gig. By some casualty the punts parted, and his
Lordship was unexpectedly precipitated into the
water. One of his men speedily rescued him, and we
are happy to state that his Lordship has received no
injury.
WooLwicu, OCT. 7.—Commander Crozier, ap-
pointed to command the Wasp steam-sloop, arrived

to-day at Woolwich to enter the crew for service on
the coast of a frica.

THE FREVILEY MURDER.

FUNERAL OF THE REV. MR. HOLLEST.

The mortal remains of the murdered clergy man,
the Rev. Mr. Holiest, were borne to the grave yester-
day by twelve respectable tradesmen of the village, and
interred in Frimley churchyard, almost beneath the
altar window.

The two youthful sons of the lamented deceased,
with his two brothers, were the chief mourners. The
officiating clergyman was the Rev. J. Clayton, rector
of Farnborough. The boys and girls of the village
school attended, and among the resident clergy and
gentry present we observed Mr. John Tickell, of
Frimley Grove; Mr. J. F. Burrell, of Frimley; the
Rev. Gilbert Heathcote' rector of Ash ; the Rev. John
Laurel, curate of Cove, &c.
By desire of the family, the ceremony was con-
ducted in as private a manner as possible; but the
melancholy circumstances attending the death of the
unfortunate clergyman, and the very general respect
entertained for his character throughout the district
over which his ministration extended, had the effect
of attracting a very large concourse of spectators.
It is hardly necessary to remark, that the scene was
altogether very affecting. At one period of the ser-
vice scarcely a dry eye could be observed.
FRIMLEY, THREE P.M.—Nothing of importance
calculated to lead to the positive detection of the mur-
derers has been discovered up to the present time.
On Sunday afternoon the camlet cloak belonging
to the deceased gentleman, which was among the
articles stolen, was found in a ditch near the spot
where the masks and the remains of bread and meat
were discovered.

A great deal has been said as to the want of an
efficient rural police in the neighbourhood. The fact
is, the only police in Surrey are the constables which
each of the principal towns support for their own
safety and protection.
