FROM TILE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH, JULY 18.
The blanhal Bennett transport, Lieutenant Spencer, agent,
arrived here on Tuesday, In thirty-one days from liarbadoes, and
itwenty-siz frotn St. Kitts, with naval and military stores and in-
valid. (the latter under the care of Dr. P. O'Callaghan, of the 27th
regiment), and ten surgeons from the different medical establish-
ments,which have been reduced in consequence of the improved
state of health in the islands. The crops had suffered considerably
from a most unusual drought,scarcely any rain having fallen fur the
last nine mouths. Lieuteuant•Ceoeral Sir James Lyon had just
returned to Barbadoes from a tour of inspection, after an absence
of two months.

Exertions were making on the Bth of June, at Curacoa, to corn
plete the Barham (the flag-ship of Vice- Admiral perming) for
sea, after having grounded; but from want of sufficient means to
heave her down, the undertaking was found a laborious one. In
one endeavour, by which she had been partly hove down, the
tackle was carried away, but sufficient of her bottom was on that
occasion seen, to show that she was seriously damaged about the
kelson, 20 bolts being observed to have been driven out 14 inches,
and the larboard streak forward to have been nearly rubbed
through. As the Shannon frigate, however, had arrived at Cu-
rases, it was expected that her repairs would be effected. The
Ranger had carried down a large supply of stores from Antigua ;
and the Aracbne and Espiegle had conveyed from Jamaica all the
sedateness that could be thence procured.
Eatract of a letter front Sierra Leone, dated May 12 :—" The
rains have just set in with their usual violence, but lam happy to
say that, with one exception, nothing but a few mild cases of lever
have occurred amongst the resident Europeans with the change of
season. His Majesty's ship Medina. Hecla, and F.den, are lying in
the river—the hiedina from a cruise. the Heels pursuing her sur-
veying engagements, and the Eden for provisions. Captain Owen,
of the Eden, is in good health, and brought some favourable reports
from Fernando Po. Commodore Collier, in the SyLille, has just
sent up a schooner with 185 slaves on board."
The Pallas, 42. Captain Fitzciarence, sailed on Wednesday, for
Calcutta, with the Earl of Dalhousie (appointed Commander-in-
Chief of the Forces in the East Indies) and the Bishop of Calcutta.
'lle Pallas will touch at Madeira, and there remain for the pro-
tection of the British interests, until the arrival there of the Serin-
'spatial, when sbeWill proceed to her destination. On this service
the Seringapatam will be employed, until relieved by sume other
man-of-war. The Briton, 46, Hon. Captain Gordon, will in all
probability relieve her.
We understand that all his Majesty's brigs employed as packets
are to have their main-masts reduced four feet, and their main-
yards three—their sails is proportion. The tops are also to be
made lighter.
A court-martial was yesterday held on board the Victory (fisg-
ship), in this harbour, of which Captain A. W. Schontherg, of his
Majesty's ship Melville, was President, to try Lieutenant Sisori,
his officers, and ship's company, for the loss of his Majesty's packet
Myrtle, on the lugged Islands, off the coast of Nova Scotia, on her
voyage to Halifax, when the surt determined that the loss of the
Myrtle was occasioned by an unexpected western current, and that
blame was imputable to Lieutenant Simms and Mr. Nicholas Hill,
the acting master, in not having hove the lead, knowing their con-
tiguity to the shOre, and therefore severely reprimanded Lieutenant
Sistut mad the master. The rest of the crew were acquitted.

Mademoiselle Sontag, her sister, and the Baroness tie
Lemerts, accompanied by Mr. Cassana, and other friends, visited
the Bank of England so Thursday last. After being introduced
to the Governor, they were accompanied by •% r. lUeUish through
the establishment. The same pasty proceeded afterwards to the
India House, where they were met by Sir William Young, Bart.
and conducted over the museum, library, &c. The appearance of
this celebrated singer in the City collected a considerable crowd.
The Marquis of HERTFOILD gave a public breakfast
on Saturday, at his Lordship's villa in the Regent's Park. Their
Iwyal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Ctaasiscs and the
other Members of the Royal Family were received, on their
arrival, with the customary honours, the band of the Royal Horse
Guards (Blue) in their rich fuU uniform being stationed on the
lawn. At five o'clock, after the distinguahed !tidier. had viewed
the elegant apartments of 'the modes and the grounds, as far as
the weather would permit, the discharge of 100 pieces of artillery
wanounced the banquet. During the repast, the military band con-
tinued to perform the most choke pieces of martial and other
music. Dancing shortly after commenced. and did not terminate
until a late hoer.
The Treasurer of the Ordnance has at length found his
II way back to tow% from his confidential mission to Ireland. Re-
port whispers that his services are required nearer home to conduct
a delicate negotiation at present in 'embryo. We shall be much
Isurprised if, before the close of the present week, be dues not pay
a friendly visit to chro„idet
