in her equipment.

on Friday, and sailed for Falmouth, to take out the next

SHEERNESS.—The Trafalgar, 120, Capt. Martin, flag-ship
of Vice-Admiral Sir John Chambers White, is completing
fittings in the Basin ; the crew of the Queen, 110, turned
over to her, are hulked on board the Minotaur. some dis-
content has recently been manifested by the crew of this ship,
at what they consider their overwork, and certainly, we
think, not without cause. This crew fitted out the Camper-
down, 104; dismantled her in Portsmouth harbour, and were
turned over to the Qucen ; went to sea in her for the trial
cruize; dismantled her at this port, and are now turned over
to the Trafalgar, which they are now equipping. In a time
of pcace, no crew could have been much more employed. We
are informed they wish to be paid off.
The Dido, 18, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, is dismant-
ling in the harbour, and will, it is expected, be paid off to-
morrow.

The Erebus and Terror bomb-vessels are to be fitted for
another expedition, and have left for the river for that purpose.
The Monarch, 84, is expected to be shortly commissioned
at this port.

At one time there was a prospect that the effect of
the spectacle of opening Parliament was
,to have be,a
brightened by the presence of the Prince of Wales.
Though there ara some who assert that there never was
any intention of introducing a child of four years
old into a grave State ceremony, yet it may be asked
for What,rpurpose was the Prince of Wales kept from
accompanying his sister and brother to Brighton ?
However, whether there was such an intention or
not, every one must feel that it is full early for the little '
Prince to take a part in any pageant, and the more he is
kept Just now to his nursery the better. The Princess
• .Itoyabalreidy has been made to comprehend the dignity
of herposition, and the stateliness she sometimes as-
Eames when in public, forms an amusing contrast with
the child* erAety she manifests in private.--Chetenham

towed astern to act as a rudder. She was taken into dock
yesterday.
The Rattler, 8, screw-propelled steam sloop, Commander
Smith, is in the harbour, painting and preparing for sea. She
is short-handed.

The Cygnet, 6, Commander Layton, was cruising off the
Bight of Benin on the 23th of November. She had captured
a slaver on the 15th.

DEVONPORT.—The Espiegle, 12, Commander Harris, and
Flyish Fish, 12, Commander Thompson, "made their num-
bers" on Wednesday, and put to sea again. A private letter
from the former states, that since their departure from the
sound, on the 31st ult., they had encountered very rough
weather, which, during the first three or four days, was really
awful. During a heavy squall, the Espiegle carried away
her jib-boom and narrowly escaped being dismasted. They
had encountered also a severe snow storm. The Espiegle
proves herself a most weatherly vessel, and far superior to
her competitor, the Flying Fish, as a sea boat; but the latter
bad some advantage over the Espiegle on a wind. They
showed themselves off the port again on Friday, and stood
down Channel.
The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willis, is alongside the jetty
fitting. Her complement will be, we believe, 580.
