| Ma 30 January 1843 | By the last accounts from Bermuda, the Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, and the Pique, 36, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, had not reached that island on the 3d instant. The Spartan, 26, Captain the Hon. C.G.J.B. Elliot, left Havannah for Jamaica on the 21st of December, where it is supposed orders await her to proceed forthwith to Bermuda or England. The following was the distribution of a portion of the West India fleet, according to the latest accounts:—The Fair Rosamond, Pickle, Avon, and Imaum, at Jamaica; the Volage, 26. Captain Sir W. Dickson, at Grenada; the Electra, 18, Commander A. Darley; and the Ringdove, 16, Commander Sir W. Daniell, at Honduras; the Scylla, 16, Commander Sharpe, on her passage from Jamaica to Honduras; the Pilot, 16, Commander W.
