Ma 19 June 1843	DUBLIN, June16. The Irish Naval Squadron. It appears from the Cork papers of last night, that the naval squadron at present assembling at Cove has been further reinforced by the arrival of the Orestes sloop, 18 guns, Commander the Hon. S.T. Carnegie, and the Racer brig, 16 guns, Commander A. Reed. A letter dated Cove, Thursday, June 15. says,— "At 10 o'clock this morning, the Lightning, Government steamer, with Rear Admiral Bowles, arrived, and soon afterwards his flag (blue at the mizzen) was hoisted on board Her Majesty’s ship Malabar, under a salute from the other vessels of war in the harbour. The Cyclops steamer has also arrived; and Her Majesty's ship Rose sailed last evening: her destination is said to be Halifax and West Indies." The Cork Reporter, in alluding to these arrivals, remarks:— The River Steamer Company will have reason to bless Lord De Grey, or the Government, or whoever it was that sent the Irish squadron to Cove, for their vessels, which we believe have departed from the quay at every hour since 3 o’clock this morning, have been crowded and crammed with passengers going down to see the sight which the harbour presents — a very novel one in these days and for years past, though in bygone times such a thing was not unusual. The ships now below are —The Malabar,72, Admiral Bowles, the Orestes, 18, Hon. S.T. Carnegie, the Racer, 16, Commander Reed; the Scylla, and the Tyne; and the Meteor and Lightning steamers. The Inconstant frigate is stated in some postings about the town to be also at Cove, bat this is not the fact. Dr. Yerling, the surgeon of that vessel, which has only lately returned from China, passed through this city a few days ago for Mallow, intending to make a stay there, but he has received orders to join at Plymouth with as little delay as may be, as she was about to be put in commission forthwith, and despatched to Cove to replace the Malabar, which is to leave in a day or two. A guardship is to be stationed in Cove, and an admiral also. The house in the town known as the 'Admiralty house' has been taken and fitted up for the accommodation of Admiral Bowles, who is to hoist his flag this day on board the Malabar." The whole of these arrangements appear to have thrown the excitable inhabitants of the "beautiful city" into a perfect delirium of delight.
We 21 June 1843	The Note Of Preparation.— Two more war steamers have arrived at Cove from Portsmouth. The Meteor, 2 guns, Commander George Butler, and the Myrtle. Her Majesty’s ship Tyne, 26 guns, Captain W.N. Glasscock, is also added to the strength of the squadron in that harbour, which, if rumour is to be credited, is to be further increased by the addition of several vessels of war, first and second rates. Rear-Admiral Bowles is hourly expected in the Shannon river by the Lightning war-steamer, for the purpose of inspecting the several forts and batteries in the Lower Shannon, which are to be garrisoned by detachments of the Marine Artillery. Further note of preparation is thus announced by the Limerick Chronicle:— "Several loads of timber have been received into the yard of the new barracks for the purpose of erecting stockades and other defences inside the walls, and two pieces of heavy ordnance are to be planted in the old Castle of Limerick, as a matter of precaution before the county of Clare side of the river Shannon."
Tu 8 August 1843	DUBLIN, July 30. The Irish Naval Squadron. The Cork Constitution of yesterday morning announces that the Irish fleet, with the exception of the flag-ship, had received orders to sail yesterday (Saturday) for Plymouth, there to rendezvous. It is added, that their supposed destination is the coast of Spain. Her Majesty's ship Conway, 26 guns, Captain Fair, arrived in Cove harbour on Friday; and having saluted the flag of Admiral Bowles, hoisted the flag of the Irish squadron. The'Cork Reporter of yesterday evening states, that in pursuance of the orders received by Admiral Bowles, the fleet have only received orders to be in readiness to sail in a day or two. The Racer, Captain Reed, sailed on Saturday morning, at 8 o'clock, from Cove; and the Tyne, Captain Glascock, following on Monday. No precise day is mentioned for the departure of the other vessels.
