Major Vicar's company of the Royal Sappers and
Miners have also received orders to embark on Monday
in the Rhadamanthus for conveyance to Corfu. The
Rhadamanthus is a first-class steam-frigate, with ample
accommodation for carrying a considerable number of
troops. She has recently undergone a thorough repair,
and now carries guns of large calibre, with percussion
locks. Above her paddle-wheels, Captain Smith's newly
invented boats have been placed, and she has altogether
a very excellent and complete appearance.
The non-commissioned officers and men recommended
to be pensioned were discharged yesterday.
