Review op the Channel Fleet, 11th September. —The fleet stood out to sea from Milford Haven, on Tuesday, 11th September, and, having made* an offing of about seven mites, the Osborne, which had previously joined with the Lords of the Admiralty oh board, made the signal for the fleet to form a double line. This manoeuvre having been executed with great precision, the Osborne signalled for the fleet to make sail under easy canvas, followed by an order from the Admiralty to bank upthefires. Having stood on thus for some time, the two divisions tacked in succession to the starboard, after* which the order was given to form a eioglo line. Of b*kUe, XhU w»of-

fected by the starboard division standing on its course, and the port one tacking until they came into line, when they followed in the wake of their predecessor, : an interval of two cables' length separating each ship. The concluding and moat exciting manoeuvre of the day was then made by the whole getting orders to make all sail that could be done with safety, and running before the wind. The Gsborne then steamed up to the Admiralu' ship, Rear-Admiral Pelham, C.8., hailed Vice-Amiral Sir Charles Ireemantle, X.C.8., and expressed on the part of his Grace the Duke of Somerset and the rest of the Lords, the extreme satisfaction they all felt, not only in the appearance of the fleet, but also in the admirable precision with which all the manoeuvres had that day been. performed. Captain Kamsaj', C. 8., superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard, waß commissioned to convey the above opinion in writing to the Admiral of the fleet. The Gsborne then parted company—the Royal Albert giving the Lords ot the Admiralty a salute of nineteen guns. More Steam to Otago.—We understand that the first-class steamer Onieo, of 1000 tons burden, has been put on to trade between Melbourne, Otago, and Canterbury, ths.t she is to make monthly trips, and that she will leave Melbourne for Otago, on or about the 20th instant. The Motoaka arrived in harbor last Sunday,- December 2nd, after a splendid passage of 88 days. She brings a large number of passengers, among whom we are glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald and family, although we regret to hear that Mr. Fitzgerald himself is at present seriously indisposed. We trust, however, that a short time will see him quite restored. Two births and four deaths occurred on board. The Koh-i-noor left a month previous to the. Motoaka, and great uneasiness is beginning to be felt at her non-arrival,— Canterbury Standard.
