every heart is, What will the Pheton do-and
what the Arethusa . ~. 8dt{s 7. :
| With fearful violence the storm burst, and for
time the fate Of the squadron remained pain
full mystery. Soon the ships dilnly reappsar, and
every glass seeks the two frgates. M
| There they are, the sea breaking over them
from head to stern, but still holding on to their
s.topgallant sails.
| A short breathing is allowed these gallant
coursers; the gae, if not moderated, has at least
become more steady, and some of the other ships
show rag more sail.
Afterwards squall still blacker and heavier
came on, and signal is made to "keep off half a
point, and all but the Phmton and Arethusa
again shorten sail. When the darkness had pass
ed, the Arethusa alone showed her topgallant
sails; the Phmton was faring with the signal fly
ing ''fOremast sprung" The wind backed to south
west the weather became every moment worse,
and the squadron shove to- under short SAIL
After twenty-five days of such exercise ut sea
Commodore Martin returned to Lisbon, overhaul
ed his ships, and made all ready for another cruise
the results of this first cruise being in degree
uncertain. The Ph@ton had certainly displayed
her superiority as sailer, and was q most admi-
rable boat; but, the other hand, it was con-
tended that the Arethusa carried her sail better.
In fine, opinion was not unanimous; the partsans
of Symonds declared the victory belonged to the
Arethusa, while perhaps majority supported the
claims of the Ph@ton to that distinction; for, as
ulc Sll6tdIuoQ Dy Qcr 1OrCmdSJ,
which compelled her to shorten sail, was to be at
tributed solely to the stretching of her new rig
ging. Under these circumstances, the Commo-
dore resolved to have another trial
Our limited space compels us to conclude. We
therefore briefly state, for those who may be in
terested in the question, that the Leander, al
though fine ship, never rose in that squadron,
as saler, above No. a; in stability, she was No.
3; in staying" she was No. A; but it was ad-
mitted that, Of all the frigates' bows, her's was
the best battery
In the trials that afterwards took place between
the Arethusa and the Encounter, and the Phmton
and Arrogant, under circumstances most favora-
BILE to the sailing ships, it was found that the
screw-vessels had the decided superiority, and
that in strong breezes, with one, two, or three
reefs in the topsails, sby the wind' or 'going
large" to the surprise Of most intelligent officers
the Ph@ton and Arethusa, the finest ffgates in
the navy, were always beaten by the -frigate
the Arrogant
When shall we again see under our own flag a
squadron of practice such as that which, under
Commodore Morris on the South American coast
and in the Mediterranean, won for him fresh lau-
rels, and added so much to our nautical reputa
tiOn'
We trust one of the earliest acts of the Govern
ment may be the establishment of gunnery ship
and, if anchored in the Potomac, she would be
under the Immediate observation of the Ordnance
Bureau and the head of the Department

TO WHALEMEN AND MERCHANTS In

ITO LEASE for term of years, CHARLES
Il ISLAND. one of the Galapagos group, in the
Southern Pacific, dependencies OF the republic OF
Ecuador, lying between five and elk hundred
miles westward of the coast of America The
island 10 situated in latitude 10 2O south, and
longitude 9Oo 3O west from the meridian OF Green
witch. and is about fifteen miles in length from
north TO south. BY twelve in length from east to
west. There is good anchorage at Black Beach;
and Post Office bay, we'll known to vessels fire.
quenting the island, is perfectly safe and commo-
dloas The temperature Of the island is agreeable,
and the climate very salubrious. The soundines
around it abound in fish of various kinds and Of
excellent quality, with abundance of turtle. 1t ia
about equidistantf from G ua yaquil and Panama. and
from Cape Horn and Oregon, on the best route for
vessels bound from the Atlantic to the northwest
coast OF America, or thence to the Atlantic
The soil OF the island ia capable of producing all
kinds Of tropical plants, together with many Of
those ot the temperate zone. Sugar cane grove
to the height of seven or eight feet, and is fit for
hrives WELL and is equal in quality to the best Sea
Island. Not only the valleys but the sides of the
higher mountains may be cultivated, from Jan.
uary to December, one crop following another in
rapid succession; moistened in SUMMER by con-
tinued and heavy dews, and by rains in winter.
There are at present on the island about 5000 to
900 head of thriving cattle; besides horses
mules, asses, hogs, and goats In addition to the
constant and increasing demand for live stock by
transient vessels touching there, very large profits
may be realized with the shipment of cattle to
Panama and California, as they require no other
fodder than the tuna or cabbage tree, with small
supply Of water during the voyage. BY laying
pipes, at comparatively trifling cost, from the
frat spring to the beach, distance of about two
miles, copious flow of the purest water can be
obtained, capable of supplying the increasing feet
OF vessels OF all nations, including whalers, that
are constantly passing in the vicinity of the
island. As the trade OF the Pacific becomes de-.
veloped, it is destined to occupy an important
position as coaling depot for steamers, and sta
ton for whaers, the group lying in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of what is called the ofshore
ground. @ " 3.
10 an association possessing the requisite CAPT
tai, energy, and enterprise, Charles Island pre-
SCENTS a most inviting field, where certain and
bountifu harvest Of profits may be realized.
All communications on the subject, addressed,
post paid, to the undersigned, Consul General OF
the republic of Ecuador for the United States. will
