Aden, 15th February. HLM.S. Conquest is' badly ashore at IMS. Conquest, Capt. Henderson, left Shanghai on 2ist November last under sudden orders to join temporarily the East India station. In Singapore she unluckily was the passive cause of a serious accident to the steamer St. Dunstan, which ran foul of her stem and had to be beached. She left Singapore on the 23rd of December for Trincomalee, and must have been ordered almost immediately to the East Coast of Africa, Pemba, the place where she is ashore, being an island about fifty miles north of Zanzibar.—Ep.]
