NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

This evening mails will be made up and despatched,
via Marseilles, to the Pirmus (Greece), Turkey the Cri-
;nee, and the fleet and transport service in fhe Black
Sea. Letters intended for persons in the hospitals at
Smyrna or Scutari should be specially addressed " Hos-
pital, Scutari," or " Hospital, Smyrna," as the case
may be. The postage on letters must be prepaid.
The worst cases of the sick and wounded who arrived
from the seat of war in the Malacca were visited in the
Garrison Hospital at Portsmouth on Saturday by Lady
Maitland, Lady and Major-General Sir Frederick Smith,
who again dispensed some nourishing confections and
distributed some articles of clothing, such as knitted
socks, mite, shirts, and even sheets. A proportion of
these cleanly and comfortable necessaries were contri-
buted by Major-General and Lady Catharine Buckley.
The patients are doing well. There are now not more
than 52 sick and wounded on the establishment. The
rest are other cases from home regiments. Drs. Lawson
and Burgess are indefatigable in their attention. Dr.
Odell, the principal staff surgeon of the garrison, is also
most assiduous in his care of the whole of the garrison
hospitals, but there is much to amend, improve, and re-
form.

The brig Leander, 200 tons' register, Jack, master,
arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday evening from Lon-
don, to load with stores for the Crimea.

The Victory, steam-transport, Captain Rose, left
Portsmouth on Saturday mottling for Constantinople,
laden with Governts‘nt stores and the staff of Major-
General Vivian.
The Sanspareil, 70, Commander Gordon, which ar-
rived at Plymouth on Saturday, has on board four Rus-
sian mortars captured at Balaklava. During her absence
she lost by cholera off Sebastopol above 25 of her crew,
and in action had 11 killed and 61 wounded. Mr. Mad-
den, a midshipman, was the only officer killed. On
departure the Sanspareil rounded the stern of the Aga-
lemon' 90, whose crew, led by Admiral Sir E. Lyons,
cheered her most heartily—a compliment fully appre-
ciated by the homeward-bound. The Agamemnon and
Sanspareil were companion ships on the coast of Cir-
cassia, at Redoubt-Kali' Sebastopol, sc. After dis-
charging her powder in Plymouth Sound on Saturday,
the Sanspareil got up steam, and proceeded, with top-
gallant yards across, up harbour to Hamoaze. She will
be placed in dock at Keyhana to-day. More than four
and a-half knots an hour in a calm could never be got
out of her engines, which, with her boilers and ma-
chinery, will require a thorough overhaul and relit.
The gun-boats Weser and Recruit (Nix and Sala-
mander) have been relieved of 40 tons of stores each.
They have made several experimental trips at Plymouth.
The Recruit averages 12} knots. Their armament, four
68-pounders, will, it is supposed, try the decks when in
action. These vessels are appointed to leave to-morrow
for the Black Sea.
It is intended to launch the new ship Conqueror, 100,
building at Devonport, on the 4th of May next.
The hired screw transport Germania, Capt. Nenaber,
No. 207, left Plymouth Sound at noon on Saturday for
the Crimea. The 43 drivers of the A division of the
