This most interesting event took place on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 5th inst.. and is the first division of the numerous fleet of gun-boats intended for the next Baltic campaign. It consisted of the following vessels, each carrying two 68-pounder guns and two howitzers, under the orders of Captain Codrington, viz.:-Starling, Biter, Dapper, Stork, Charger, Skylark, Snapper, Bearer, Stringer, Jackdaw, Dove, Banterer, Bustard, Bullfrog, Cockchafer; attended by the Commander of Portsmouth Dockyard, Vice Admiral Sir G. T. Seymour, K.C.B .in the Fire Queen; and, though a dull, gloomy day, the sight attracted crowds to witness it. Since then the little fleet has been daily augmented by fresh arrivals from different ports; and it is expected that by the commencement of March one hundred and twenty-five gun beats will be anchored between Ryde and Cowes, and all sheltered by the island : where, it is expected, they will shortly be reviewed by her Majesty. Our Illustration is from a Sketch forwarded to us by Mr. J. R. Smith, of Cowes. |
