Naval and Military Intelligence.

Portsmouth harbour and roadsteads are getting a busy
look again with the rapidly-accumulating returns of the
members of the Baltic fleet. The following movements
took place yesterday :—The Powerful, 84, Capt. Massie,
and the Calcutta, 84, Capt. J. J. Stopford, shifted their
berths at Spithead to berths near Ryde, for the better
accommodation of the steam fleet as its Theunbers drop iw
to the anchorage. The Pembroke, 60, Capt:"-Seiymotti.,
steamed into harbour in the morning to replenish her
stock of coals at the depot hulk, and afterwards returned
to Spithead. The Eolus, 42, ammunition ship, was
taken to moorings off Hardway yesterday for the win-
ter. The screw three-decker Marlborough will be
undocked to-day, to give place to the Penelope pad-
dle frigate, 18, Captain Sir W. Wiseman, which is
ordered to be refitted with all despatch. A
party of caulkers were sent off to her in the
harbour yesterday from the dockyard to caulk her
upper works. During the time she is refitting her crew
will be paid wages and granted leave. The Hebrides
freight-ship sailed yesterday with a full cargo of victual-
ling stores from the Royal Clarence-yard for the Crimea.
The Dee naval transport left yesterday on her return to
Woolwich, taking round supernumeraries. The transport
William Jackson has been paid off, and gone to South.
ampton to be docked. The steam troop-ship Simoom,
18, Captain Sulivan, had her steam up again yesterday
to test her boilers, and work her newly-adapted ma-
chinery, by Mr. Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth
dockyard. The vessel has been greatly improved, and
her speed increased, it is estimated (she has not yet been
tried out of harbour), two and a half or three knots.
The Simoom is wanted to embark upwards of 1,000
troops immediately. Her Majesty's despatch yacht
Elfin, Master-Commanding Alfred Balliston, was taken
into the steam basin yesterday to refit her machinery,
&c. The Lady M'Naghten transport left Spithead yes-
day for the Thames. The York Town packet sailed yes-
terday for New York.
The Vedra has sailed from Woolwich Arsenal for the
Crimea with a cargo consisting of huts, wheelbarrows,
watercarts, bales of winter clothing, and casks of har-
ness. The Baalbec, likewise for the Crimea, with a
cargo composed principally of huts, having also a small
quantity of shot and shell, has also sailed. There are
only four transports lying at the arsenal moorings, and
these are sailing vessels. The activity so unremit-
tingly carried on in every department of the Royal Ar-
senal is now considerably relaxed. Another batch of
150 men, besides the 200 already reported, have re-
ceived notice of discharge, and a small portion only are
employed throughout the night. On Sunday the ma-
chinery was still. Profiting by this state of inactivity
three of the heads of departments have taken the op-
portunity of putting into action the advice of Lord
Palinerston on his recent visit to the Royal Ar-
senal. His lordship observed that we were unequalled
by the whole world in every article produced by the
Royal Ordnance Department with the single exception
of gun-metal, and it must be acknowledged that our
neighbours on the continent surpassed us in that mate-
rial, and that this should be remedied. Col. Eardiey
Wilmott, Superintendent of the Royal Gun Factories,
Capt. Boxer, Superintendent of the Royal Laboratory,
and Mr. Anderson, Inspector of Machinery, have started
for an inspection of some of the continental foundries,
and have proceeded for that purpose to Belgium, France,
and Prussia. Five months' leave of absence has been
granted (under medical certificate) to Brevet-Major
Simon Fraser, of the Royal Marine Corps stationed at
Woolwich barracks, for the benefit of his health. Capt.
C. P. Coode, Royal Marines, is instructed to leave an
intelligent non-commissioned officer on the recruiting
service at Kidderminster, detaching the remainder of
his party to Woolwich head-quarters, and forthwith re-
join his division at Plymouth. The non-commissioned
officer above referred to is to be attached to the Wor-
cester party. A recruiting party of the Portsmouth di-
vision of Royal Marines, stationed at Nottingham, are
ordered to rejoin head-quarters at Woolwich, with the
exception of anon-commissioned officer, who is to remain
there and to be attached to the Derby party.
Lieut. Proby, of the Ist Royals, who died on his pas-
sage home from the Crimea, was son of the late Capt.
Proby, R.N. It appears that he was working in the
trenches till the 20th July, when he had au attack if
lever. From this tie receveeped sufficiently to go to Scu-
tari, where unfortunately he had an attack of diarrhoea,
which led to his being sent home. On arriving at Malta,
however, he died at the naval hospital.
