Lighthouse, July 2, 1855.

“THE Arrogant arrived here from the neighbourhood of Biorko on the 28th ultimo, and returns to-day to the same station. I have directed Captain Yelverton to extend his examination of the coast as far westward as Lovisa; and I beg leave to direct their Lordships’ attention to a report, herewith transmitted, which I have this day received from Captain Vansittart, of the Magicienne, through whose activity and zeal, with the aid of the Ruby gun-boat, a large number of vessels, laden with granite blocks, have been successfully destroyed in Werolax Bay.”
