| 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. Houston; the Crocodile, 26, Master-commander Thomas Elson; and the Griffin, 3, Lieutenant-commander Charles Jenkin, at Barbadoes. | ||
| Sa 11 February 1843 | It is now believed that the court-martial which it is understood is to be held on the Hon. Captain Elliott, of Her Majesty's ship Spartan, will take place at Jamaica, where, according to the last accounts the Spartan was lying waiting orders from Vice-Admiral Sir C. Adam. The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, and the Pique, 36, Captain Hon. M. Stopford, had left Bermuda for Jamaica, and so had the Illustrious, 72, with the flag of the Vice-Admiral; but she intended to touch first at St. Thomas’s, and after to proceed to Jamaica. In the event of either the Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, or the Talbot, 26, Captain Sir T. Thompson, being at Jamaica, there will be a sufficient number of post-captains to form a court, which will then consist of the following members:— Commodore the Hon. H.D. Byng, of the Imaum; Captains Lord John Hay, Warspite; the Hon. M. Stopford, Pique; John E. Erskine, Illustrious; and Sir W. Dickson, Volage; or Sir T. Thomson, Talbot. | ||

Her Majesty's ship Hydra arrived at Trinidad on the 24th of April, with the Bishop of Barbadoes on board. The Styx was about to proceed to Barbadoes. At Greytown, Her Majesty's ship Gladiator. | ||
| Th 14 February 1861 | At Jamaica were Her Majesty's steamers Imaum, Mersey, and Kingston. At Antigua Her Majesty's ship Nile, with the Admiral, Styx and Skipjack gunboats. At Santa Martha, Her Majesty's ship Cadmus; at Panama, Her Majesty's ship Mutine, and an American frigate-corvette. Her Majesty's ship Racer sailed from Greytown for Jamaica. | ||
| Ma 18 March 1861 | Her Majesty's ship St. George, Captain the Hon. Francis Egerton, arrived in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes, on the 21st of February, and the Barracouta, Commander Wood, on the 21th. The Nile, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral A. Milne, Commander-in-Chief, and the Styx, were at Barbadoes on the 26th. At Port Royal, Jamaica, were Her Majesty's ships Imaum, Commodore Dunlop, Hydra, Cadmus, Skipjack, and Kingston. Her Majesty's ship Racer was at St. Domingo, and the brig Mutine at Panama. Her Majesty's ship Bacchante, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Sir T. Maitland, was to leave Tobago on the 23d or 24th of February for Vancouver's Island. The Pylades was at Tobago refitting to leave for England, and the Termagant was to sail in a few days for the coast of Mexico, to relieve the Clio, ordered to Panama. | ||
| Sa 13 April 1861 | Her Majesty's ship St. George with Prince Alfred on board, left St. Thomas's on the 27tn ult. for Santa Cruz and thence to Jamaica. The Nile (flag of Admiral Milne), Styx, Racer, Cadmus, Skipjack, Landrail, Hydra, and Imaum were at Port Royal, Jamaica, awaiting the arrival of the Prince.
