On heading out of the bay, and the engines having become warm by this time, she gave a specimen of her greatly increased speed, the engines making 30 revolutions with 151 b. of steam, and the vessel going at the rate of 9J knots per hour, without any perceptible vibration.

repairs, alterations, &c, has already appeared in our colums of the 17th inst., and need no repetition. It is sufficient to say she is now in first-class order, and a credit to the contractors, Mr. E. W. Mills, and Messrs. Coffey and Dixon.
