The Board of Admiralty, now engaged in a tour
of inspection of the outports and dockyards, re-
turned from their visit to Plymouth Breakwater at
4.45 P.M. on Thursday—landed at the dockyard, and
visited the apprentices' school, and expressed their
pleasure at the attention and proficiency of the boys.
They then proceeded to their hotel, and, after their
entertainment to the heads of departments and cap-
tains of ships in commission, embarked in their steam-
yacht, Black Eagle, at 4.30 A.M. on Friday, and
proceeded from Queenstown under a salute from the
Impregnable flag-ship of the Port-Admiral. Their
Lordships return to Milford-yard from Queenstown,
and, after inspecting the Admiralty works there, re-

Commander Crispin's engine-room telegraph, in use
on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert for the
last three years with the best effect, has been ordered
by the Admiralty to be fitted to the Dauntless and
Resolution steam-frigates. This telegraph ought to
be fitted to every steamer.
Two Turkish men-of-war are daily expected at
Spithead—one a large frigate, the Miral Zafer, Cap-
tain Mehemet Bey, and the brig Suray Bahra. Cap-
tain Slade, R.N., is with them, and it is said they in-
tend to visit the United States.
His Netherlands Majesty's schooner Atalanta,
Lieutenant Commander Jonkheer A. Klerck, from
Helvoetsluys, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, and
went into Portsmouth Harbour, where she is to
await the arrival of his Majesty's frigate Prins Van
Orange.

Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, does not pick
up her increased advanced complement of blue jackets
so speedily as we could desire. She has only entered
about 30 out of the 100 wanted.

Firefly, 3, steam-vessel, Corn. Seymour, was re-
ported complete by the dockyard, Woolwich, on Sa-
turday. A correspondent from Portsmouth says—
" In addition to the services you have given the com-
mander of the Firefly, you may say he took the Lily,
to the coast from England in command, and com-
manded her twenty mow hs, was the only officer not
promoted in 1841 who had held a command, was first
lieutenant of the Racer, 16, when she was dismasted
in a hurricane in the West Indies, and, moreover,
he has seen a deal of boat service and sickness on the
coast."

Geyser steam-sloop, at Woolwich, was reported
complete on Saturday last.
Linnet, 6, packet-brig, Lieut.-Commander James,
beat out of Devonport Harbour on Friday morning,
and sailed direct for Falmouth.
Magicienne steam-sloop, on her passage to Devon-
port from Sheerness, having burnt her platform be-
tween the boilers, it is ordered that, to prevent simi-
lar accidents, the platforms are to be covered with
metal.

Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliot, at Lisbon, has found
her spars defective.

Rosamond, 6, steam-sloop, at Woolwich, will be
out of the shipwrights' hands by the end of nexti,
month, but will not be completed by the engineers
department before the middle of November.

reported complete ; but she has not yet completed her
advanced complement.
Vengeance, 84, Copt. Sir 11. M. Blackwood, Bart,
will be ready to go to Spithead by the second week

COAST OF AFRICA.
Teaser screw gun veAsel, Lieutenant-Commander
Setlw3n, whcse arrival at Queenstown from the coast
we reported on Saturday, was there on the 11th,
waiting until the weather moderated, the wind at that
time blowing hard from S.E. She has a number of
invalids on hoard; left Sierra Leone July 31.
Dolpin, 3, Lieutenant• Commander Temple, arrived
at Sierra Leone, after an excellent passage from De-
vonport of 25 days, during three of which she was
becalmed off the Cape de Verds. After completing
provisions and water, she will sail to join the com-
modore at Ascension.

Hound, 8, Commander Patten ; Ranger, 8, Com-
mander Miller; and Prometheus, 4, steam-sloop,
Commander Foote, were at Sierra Leone 31 July.
On the 2d July another full slaver, prize to the
Hecla, having 350 on board (the second full prize
from the same vessel in less than a month, and the
ninth in about eight or nine months), arrived at
Sierra Leone.

Ranger, 8, Commander Miller, has been sickly.
The First Lieutenant and surgeon both invalided,
and were to go to Ascension, and thence to England
when sufficiently recovered. Mr. Pritchard (the
assietant•surgeon), who went out in the Prometheus,
was appointed to do duty in the Ranger.
By letters received from Ascension we find that the
Promethus, steam-sloop arrived at that island from
Sierra Leone on the 13th July, having on board
Lieutenant Ilelbey and the assistant-surgeon of the
Tortoise and some Ariz' crews. Lieutenant Helbey
sailed in the Phoenix steam-sloop the same day, to
.ioin his ship, the Philomel, on the south-coast station.
The assistant-surgeon joined his own ship, the Tor-
toise, at Ascension.

GIBRALTAR, SEr. 5. Her Itt.jesty's steamer
Arrogant, Captain Robinson, thrre days from Lisbon,
arrived here on the 30th ult., and the Encounter,
Captain Gordon, six days from the Tagus, came in
the following day. The Arrogant sailed again on the
2d hut.

The French war steamer Lavoisier departed on the
31st ult.

The British steamer Brigand, 14 days from Con-
stantinople, touched here on the 2d on her way to
Liverpool.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's
ship Pottinger arrived here on the 3d, after a run of
five days from Southampton, and proceeded to Malta
and Constantinople.

The Encounter and Janus steam-sloops remain in
the Bsy.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Board of Admiralty
have directed by a general order that all officers and
men passing through the ship-gun drill at the re-
spective divisions of Royal Marines should also be
instructed in the art of knotting and splicing, a most
beneficial regulation, which cannot fail to increase
the efficiency of both officers and men. •
Very great discontent and inconvenience, as well as
considerable disappointment, has of late been expe-
rienced by visitors and residents here, in their endea-
vours to obtain an inspection of the royal yachts.
The local papers teem with complaints of the conduct
of the commanders, and from what we know and
hear we believe the complaints are well founded.
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence would do well to inquire
into the behaviour of his subordinate in this and
other matters, and we are certain that his Lordship's
investigation would result in the greatest advantage
and satisfaction to the public.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord
Amelius Benuclerk, will be paid off on Tuesday.
The Albatross, 12, Commander Farquhar, arrived
at St. Helena, from China, for England, on the 30th
of July.
WOOLWICH., SEPT. 14.—The Retribution steam-
frigate, Captain Warden, and the Dauntless steam-
frigate, Captain Halsted, are both under orders to
leave Portsmouth, in six or seven days, to join Com-
modore Martin's squadron at Lisbon. The former
vessel has had about one hundre d men employed upon
her during the last month, is now in excellent order,
and will carry four more guns than her original ar-
mament.

THE 0:BORNE CRAVAT —Of the numerous inven-
tions and ingenuities of these go-a-head days, none sur-
passes in elegance and comfort a cravat distinguished as
above. It is the introduction of this season by an eminent
hosiery firm in the City, since which it has almost entirely
superseded the clumsy old neckcloths, with their bulky
folds, at the same time possessing a very superior and stylish
appearance, besides that its cost cannot be much from ita
simplicity—an essential recommendation in itself; it should,
therefore, command the patronage of all who study these
cimbined qualifications.

OXFORD, SEPT. Is.—We understand that the eke-
:ion of a new president of Trinity College will take place at
the latter end of the week.
