Rear-

Admiral Dundas, C.B„ M.P., the Hon. W. Cowper,
M.P., Mr. Secretary Parker, M.P., and his colleagues of
the Admiralty,
The Superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard having
attained to his flag rsuk, the Admiralty on Tuesday last
ordered him to hoist his flag on board the Wellington
depot-ship of the ordinary as Rear-Admiral Superin-
tendent Price, and to keep it flying until relieved.
Consequently the gallant officer has hoisted his film
(blue at the mizzen), and presided at the court-martial'
on Mr. Parry, the engineer of the Pluto steam-vessel, as
a flag-officer.
Captain Michael Seymour (1826), it is now confi-
dently reported, will be the ne.v superintendent of Sheer-
ness Dockyard, nice Price, promoted. He is third son
of the late Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, Bart.,
K.C.B. Entered the navy Nov. 1813, and has served
seventeen years afloat, lastly as flag-captain in the Vin-
dictive, 50, to Admiral Sir F. Austen, K.C.8., when
commander-in-chief of the West Indies. He has for
several years been registrar and secretary to the order of
the Bath, and is in the 48th year of his age.
THE COURT OF INQUIRY ON COMMODORE PLUM-
RIDGE.—DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY.—The court of in-
quiry commenced again at ten A M., and aejourned at
tour P.M., without being finished. The officers meet
again to-morrow morning. Mr. Hamley, the ex-secre-
tary, it appears, is pushing the Commodore hard; four
days have now been occupied in this investigation, and
there are no signs of a conclusion. The examination of
Commander Morris has taken up more than half of this
day, and it is not determined when the Cambrian, 40,
is to be paid off. Perhaps it would have been better to
have borne the witnesses on the guard-ship, and have
paid off all the rest.
Commander A. P. E. Wilmot has commissioned the
Harlequin, 12, at Devonport, for coast of Africa ser-
vice, instead of the Britomart, 8, found to be so defective
the moment she was wanted. The Harlequin is to have
a complement of 125 officers and men.
Six midshipmen passed at the Naval College on Mon-
day, and eight second masters pissed for the rank of
masters.
A Russian corvette man-of-war arrived at Spithead
yesterday morning, and at ten o'clock saluted the gar-
rison with 21 guns, which the Platform battery returned;
at eleven she saluted the flag of Admiral Sir B. Capel,
which the Victory returned. She is to go into harbour
to-day.
Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, hauled
off from the dockyard last evening, and will probably go
out of harbour on Monday. She will proceed to Lisbon
en route to the Mediterranean.
Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Tatham, left
Devonport on Wednesday with dispatches for Brazils.
Buzzard steam-sloop, from Woolwich, and Styx steam-
sloop, from Portsmouth, have arrived at Devonport.
The screw-sloop Wasp arrived at Plymouth on the
6th, and is still detained at that port to remedy some
defects in her machinery. This was also the case at
Portsmouth, and it is to be feared this fine vessel has
not been supplied with efficient engines; they are only
of 100-horse power; she is 980 tons; has a 42-frigate's
mast and sails, but barque-rigged, and has windows on

She is an exceedingly quick sailer, quite a clipper; 160
men, which will be increased by 48 kroomen on the
coast, but she will still be short-handed. Numerous
seatnen have applied to join the Wasp since she arrived
,t Plymouth, but have been refused on account of the
complement being full. So much for a popular ship, and
a good captain.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 14.—The Illustrious, 72 the late
depot ship of the ordinary, was taken up the harbour
this day into ordinary.
Lieutenant John Secombe, R.N., arrived here yes-
terday, for the purpose of fitting the launches of her I
Majesty 'a ships Britannia, 120, and Vengeance, 84,
having completed those of her Majesty's ships Albion
and St.'George, at Devonport, on his plan for laying
out anchors and chain cables.
