afterwards, under the orders of Captain Henderson, of
the Sidon, in company with the Amazon, and a French
brig of war, visited the Azores, or Western Islands, to
quell the insurgents at these places, which service was
performed at two of these islands by her commander
most satisfactorily; she then conveyed the dispatches to
Portsmouth, and refitted for the Cape station; imme-
eliat,-ly on her arrival at Simon's Bay she was employed
in the transportation of troops from the frontier, which
was executed in a most expeditious manner.
She also visited Mauritius and other parts of the Cape
station, more particularly the western coast of Madagas-
car, in order to obtain soppliea for the island of Mauritius,
from the negotiations entered into by Admiral Dacres
not meeting the views of the tyrant Queen, Ranavalona
Manjaker of Tannanarivo, in the performance of which
duty Commander Brown was most successful, having
obtained supplies from that part of the coast, as also
entered into friendly relations with the kings and chiefs
by treaties with the British Government, for the entire
suppression of the slave trade within their dominions,
an event which bad been anticipated and hoped for a
lengthened ptriod,. but most fully, energetically, and
successfully craned out by this officer, ;hereby destroy-
ing all power and influence of the Portuguese and other
slava agents on that part of the coast. The result has been
a .complete eradication of "slave. agents," "and the
export of slaves."

or ship's company since leaving England.

The betting yesterday was extremely dull, but, as it
regarded the Liverpool Cup, not by any means unim-
portant, inasmuch as Windischgratz, after being backed
at 7 to 4, receded to 4 to 1, no one offering to take less
than 6to -1. his decline, the cause of which did not
transpire, had the effect of bringing Cockermouth, The
Maid of Team Valley, and Vampire, into -prominent fa-
vour; Cockerrnouth hating the call at the doe°. Apart
from these changes; and the disappearance of Backbiter,
the only movement of any consequence was in the Good-
wood Cup, for R hich Chanticleer was backed freely at 6
to 1. Closing prices—
