Despatch of Troops for Ireland.—Her Majesty’s steam- 
frigate Cyclops was lying totally dismantled on Saturday 
last at Woolwich, and the engineers of the dock-yard had 
ranieeatne: Tose soamnnicreds in England, 
disconnected part of her machinery for the purpose e of 
repairing her, On Sunday morning at 4 o’clock, she was 
commissioned by Captain Austin, and the following day, 
by 4 p.M., she was completely rigged, had got her large 
guns on board, with ammunition and stores from the 
Arsenal, her provisions and tanks of water from Deptford, 
including 300 tons of coals, and was in every respect ready 
for sea within the short space of 36 hours. Lieut.-Colonel 
Burton, of the Royal Marines, embarked at a late hour 
on Monday evening, and the Cyclops sailed at 2 o’clock 
on Tuesday morning for Sheerness, to receive on board a 
large detachment of Marines from Chatham. The crew 
of the Cyclops is to consist of 175 men, but to make way 
for the great number of troops, 145 only will be taken 
from the guard-ship at Sheerness for the purpose of man- 
ning her. The Alban steam-vessel, Lieutenant Jeayes, 
has also sailed for Portsmouth, where it is expected she 
will be ordered to assist in conveying a part of the Marines 
intended to proceed to Ireland. We learn from Ports- 
mouth that the Rhadamanthus steamer on Tuesday 
embarked Major Castieau, three Lieutenants, sixty gun- 
ners, four 6-pounders, and two howitzers, and sailed 
immediately for Dublin. The entire number of Marines, 
including officers and privates, embarked from that division, 
will be about 280. Rear-Admiral Bowles, it is said, will 
hoist his flag in the Malabar, and be stationed on the 
Irish coast. 
Testimonial to Lord Morpeth.—The committee for 
completing the Morpeth Testimonial.having determined 
to present the address to his Lordship without delay, the 
ceremony was performed on Tuesday at Stafford-house, 
the residence of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland. The 
presentation took place in the great hall of Stafford-house, 
and a considerable number of ladies were present in the 
gallery. Lord Morpeth acknowledged the compliment in 
a speech of g great feeling, and declared that whatever may 
be the impressions produced by his recent travels in the 
western world, he has returned more than ever attached 
to the institutions of his own count 
Royal Naval School.—On Thursday, being the anniver- 
sary of Lord Howe’s victory, the ceremony of laying the 
foundation-stone of this institution was performed by his 
Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Bishop of Rochester 
read prayers, after which the treasurers presented some 
coins in a vase which were deposited in a hollow place under 
the stone ; the stone was lowered, and the Prince, with his 
mallet and trowel, completed the ceremony. Another 
salute was fired, and the band of the Royal Marines played 
“Rule Britannia,’’ amidst the shouts and applause of 
upwards of |, 500 persons, who had obtained tickets of 
admission. The Bishop again offered up prayers, and one 
of the boys from the school delivered a brief address to 
his Royal Highness, thanking him for his kindness in 
endeavouring to promote the prosperity of the school. 
The mallet which was used by Prince Albert was made 
from one of the timbers of Lord Nelson’s ship, the Victory. 
New Zealand Company.—The haif-yearly meeting of 
the directors and shareholders of this company was held 
on Tuesday, Mr, Soames in the chair. The report stated 
that the directors had received information of the arrival 
at Wellington in July last of numerous settlers from 
Sydney, with capital, and large importations of live stock 
had taken place. During the half-year ending Midsummer, 
1842, the number of ships which entered Port Nicholson 
from England, Sydney, and other places, was 126, 
registering 16,842 tons; and the customs duties during 
the same period amounted to 8,0002. The population of 
the colony of Nelson already numbered 3 ,500 souls, and 
the number of ships arriving at that port in the half-year 
ending Midsummer, 1842, was 58; the customs revenue 
being 2,0007. Coal had been found on the river Mokaw, 
and limestone at Moturoa. Some differences had unfor- 
tunately arisen between the natives and settlers in the 
district of New Plymouth; but they had been entirely 
and satisfactorily adjusted at the date of the last despatches: 
Emigration had been carried on during the last season to 
a considerable extent, and the number of passengers con- 
veyed to the several settlements in ships chartered by the 
company were, to Wellington, 4,431; Nelson, 3,335 ; New 
Plymouth, 1,030; total, 8,796. During élte last year a 
upie had Ween despatched from Kelson, Hamburgh, with 
a body of German settlers. The difficulties which had 
arisen with respect to title in the sale of lands in New 
Zealand were, it was hoped, satisfactorily settled ; and the 
directors appreciate the favourable disposition ¢ evinced Me

a dividend of two-and-a-half per cent. upon the half-year. 
Mr. Lyall, M.P., moved the adoption of the report, that 
a dividend of two-and-a-half per cent. be declared for the 
half-year ending the 5th of April last, and that Viscount 
Courtenay, M. B., and Mr. E. Gibbon Wakefield, be elected
