Thursday evening, the I Ith instant, a series of experiments
were tried at Harwich, and answered by Landguard Fort,
under the direction of Rear-Admiral Pace, to ascertain and ar-
range the best method of exhibiting signals in case of a ship
being in digress, and requiring the assistance of the life-boat on
that station. Several compositions were burned, which gave a
brilliant light ; and it was decided, that when assistance is re-
quired by night, blue lights should be burned at Lainig,uaral
Fort, and guns fired ; and in the day, two flags ate to be hoisted,
one over the other, on the flag-staff at the Fort. This arrange-
ment is well worthy of imitation on every part of the coast.

Wednesday, the Lirrey frigate, Captain the Hon. H. DUN.
caN, ('.ll. was paid off at Portsmouth, and we have the plea-
sure of stating, that the utmost regularity and quietness, such
as is seldom observed, prevailed amongst the whole ship's com-
pany, both previously to and after coming on shore. Iti the
evening the Officers gave a superb entertainment, at the George
Inn, to the Hon. Captain Duscan : upwards of thirty sat down
to dinner. The accustomed patriotic toasts having been given,
the Passions; after an appropriate speech, In which be expa-
tiated on the unintepopted harmony that had reigned among all
classes of Officers in the Lirrav, proposed the health of the Hon.l
Captain DUNCAN, under whose command they had all enjoyed
so large a portion of comfort and happiness, who, both in his
public and private character, had acquired, and would ever re-
tain their utmost respect and esteem. Captain DUNCAN, in an
animated speech, returned thanks, and, in terms which must
have been highly gratifying to their feelings, expressed his ap-
probation of the conduct of all his Officers, whose lot, he ob-
served, it had been to visit together many different capitals of
Europe, in all of which, he was proud to say, they had left im-
pressions highly favourable to the British name. Many other
appropriate toasts followed, and the evening was spent in the
greatest concord and conviviality. Through the politeness of
Colonel 31n:canter, the excellent band of the Royal Marines
attended, and contributed largely to the joyous pleasure of the
meeting.
