| | Mid-Victorian RN vessel HMS Amphitrite |
 | | She is to have a compliment of 240 men, which, we imagine, she will not be long in picking up, men having a strong feeling in favour of small vessels of this class, and Captain Eden being a highly esteemed and generally liked officer. |
 | | The Amphitrite was a 42-gun frigate, built at Bombay in 1816, after the lines of the French Leda. |
 | | Captain Eden of her Majesty's ship Amphitrite, died at Mazatlan of fever, and Captain Mcdougal, late of Asia, succeeded him in the command of the Amphitrite, which ship was daily expected at Valparaiso from Mexico, with a freight [of specie, I assume] of upwards of $2,000,000 for England. |
