and instantly a ruyal•salistp commenced from the Castle.
On his. Exceltetra !gaging alluship, we manned our
yard', and cheered him. 11e Was received with every
mark of respect, allihe 'passengers appearing in their
uniforms. We left St. Thomas under steam on the
morning of the 20th, and proceeded due south to lat.
19. the wind blowing incessantly from S.S.W. with a
heavy swell, ..id a curl eht setting N. by E. at the rate
of one and a halt k.ints an hour, so that wind,curresr,and
swell operated against us at least two miles per hour,
and though we were going seven knots per log, we did
not make more than 125 miles from noon to noon. All
this occurred in a lat. and long. always avoided by sail-
ing-ships on account of the calms. I soon found, against
such winds and tides, it was necessary to economize the
fuel, that we might always have sufficient, if becalmed,
to move into a breeze. I was anxious to reach the S.E.
trade, which was likely to be the case at from 19 to 22
lat. and in long. 6 to 9 east on the 11th. We reached
this point; and we made sail on the larboard tack wind
& and came gradually up to the southern limit of this
trade, in lat. 26, and long. 7 west of Greenwich.
I again used my steam for 30 hours, to get into the
westerly winds. We then got light winds from the
north. On the 9th of October we bad a double reefed
top-sail breeze, and for 20 htturs. went at nine knots.—
On the 10th, return of it obliged us to brace sharp
up, and we continued so Sititil the 12th, when we made
Saldanha ; in the evening-tile fires were lighted, and at
,icleight we were off Table Mountain ; but as I thought
inhabitants of Cape Town would be disappointed iI
We anchored in the night, we lay-to till the morrow,
skrid ran in at about nine o'clock on the 18. h. The
.
gnat had been made that we were coming in.—
Preen Point was covered with carriages an.' horsemen,
and we sailed close round it; afterwards steamed round
the bay, and received a salute from the Castle, whinb
was teturned by droppipg. the ensign,-and afterwards
1
cheering with the rigging manned. Although our{
passage has been much longer than was ansieipated,i
we were recLisied with much demonstration of joy, and'
some of the houses illuminated at night. We shall st .rt '
on Tuesday the 18th, with every prospect of making
the rest of our voyage within the expected time; tar
*the time hitherto lost by the necessity of ec numising
coal, may fairly be estimated at 20 days. The remedy
for the evil is evidently the establishing intermediate/
pplies, which will be effected fir the homeward
voyage, by sending 40 or 50 chaldrons from this to
St. Helena, and I shall stop at Madeira for a further
supply, where I invite you to place 50 chaldrons in
readiness for me. NO accident of any kind has hap-
pened : both the engineer and builder deserve the
highest encomium. The ship sails like a witch, and
the engine consumes but few coals—about eight chal-
drons p -r day. We steamed during 35 days, and we
had two days' coal remaining. The speed of the vessel,
unaided by sails, is about 8 to nine knots in calm and
,smooth weather, with a moderate breeze against her,
,seven knots. Against a strong gale, and opposing high
sea, four knots per hour. In sailing by the wind s ith-
out iteam,•and a smart breeze, six knots—with a top-
gallant -breeze seven—with a wind flee, eight to nine
knots. We have never bad a fresh gale in our favour
she would with it certainly go 11 knots Lord Charles
Somerset ordered a salute to be fired on our arrival, and
has exempted us from all port charges. The only unen-
gaged passenger here, Major Trotter, goes on with us.

RATNARKET..
An entire change in the itifeiior of this Theatre, it is
said, is to take place before the opening of next season,
and from what we learn, the audience part is to corm
the segmeut of a circle.

so little disposition to do badness, that sales bane not been nude to
