Her Majesty's ship Curlew left Nagasaki for a cruise on Tuesday, the 18th ultimo, for the purpose of firing her quarterly ammunition as well as to exercise hier ship's company at sea. During her absence: Visited the harbour of Tama No Ura, in the Island of Fukoye, the Southernmost of the Goto group. This splendid harbour, 6 miles in length, has the disadvantage of carrying an inconvenient depth of water decreasing from 32 fathoms to 16 at the head of the harbour; but from there an inlet runs for nearly a mile to the N.E. where the Curlew anchored in 7 fathom: (mud-bottom), thie secluded anchorage will contain 4 or 5 ships easily. The harl abounds with fah and parties went sellieing, but owing to the rocks were not so successful as they had anticipated. The Curlew was visited by crowd of the natives, who seemed very wall disposed; in former years they bore a very different character. On leaving Tama No Ura the Curlew abated course to the Northward and returned by the Kuga Channel, arriving at Nagesaki on Saturday, th 23d ultimo. The Island of Kuyasima is covered with cultivation, and the assemblage of natives collected here and there along the shore showed that the presence of a mau-of-war steaming through their waters was an unusui citement for them. If these El through the Goto Islands were they would probably: be constantly by ships proceeding to Chefoo and Tientsin, especially steamers.—Rising Sun, 'THE AMOY-FOOCHOW TELEGRAPH,
