PORTSMOUTH, MAY 26.—Yesterday Rear-Admiral
Thomas M. Hardy, Bart. K.C.8., returned to Spit
in the Pyramus, Captain George Rose Sartorius, with ti
Experimental squadron, consisting of the Challenger, Sal
phire, Wolf, Satellite, Acorn, Alert, and Columbine;
Trinculo brig having parted company with the Cork 0
don•
The ships were a month at sea, during which he)
had . ten trials ; and it may be expected that wee b
fr
enabled to state their relative sailing qualities, but, so We'
concileable are the statements of the officers belongingt °
them, that we will not undertake to make a confident re'
port upon the subject. Sir Thomas has made a confia!g:
tial report to the Lords (5f the Admiralty, whose opin'°,
alone can be taken, to be implicitly relied on. Sir This
was this afternoon directed to proceed to the Admiralty „,' tP
hile
have an interview with the Lord High Admiral. 'ej
ships are ordered to take on hoard all the stores requilrlie
for foreign service, and proceed again on a cruise.
Tyne is to rejoin the squadron. The following rem
from a correspondent bring the proceedings of the 8,1" d
to the close of the cruise :-

May 10.—Ill a trial this day of five hours on a ail;
with a moderate breeze, the Columbine had the advante'ee
of the whole squadron, weathering Challenger about thilie
quarters of a cable's length, and Sapphire about two sno
and a half. In the early part of this day Challenges'
beaded by nearly all the squadron, they having, from snili;,
position at starting, each successively taken the wind °,4
of her sails ; but she recovered this loss in the latter
in a most extraordinary manner, leaving off with the dal
lumbine only three-quarters of a cable's-length to
ward. The order of beating—Columbine, Challenge;
Sapphire, Satellite, Wolf, Alert. Acorn not in Corn 1013;
May 15..—This day's trial was one in which a goe
press of sail was carried, with a heavy sea. Colututot
unfortunately lost a man over-board, and from heaving °t:
was not considered in the day's trial. Challenger del
carried all the squadron, and both weathered and heln't
Sapphire. The three corvettes, Acorn, Wolf, and Sate
lite, headed Challenger, but afterwards fell to leeward thre!
or four miles. The Trinculo this day did well, and is cel'
tainly to he considered as the leading ship.
May 18.—A trial on a wind, with a moderate bill:
when, in nine hours, the Challenger gained the rig,
t 1
passing to windward of Columbine ; the other ships ,4
squadron were from two to six miles to leeward; Wolfel-0
