NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 29.

The St. Vincent, 100, in theebasin rigged ready for
commission, is ordered to be stripped and her rigging
returned into store. Tho riggers commenced their work
yesterday morning. The ship was undocked on the
24th of December, 1851 ; after undergoing a thorough
repair and extensive alterations she was placed in the
fitting basin, and shortly afterwards was commenced
upon to be fitted, rigged, and made ready for sea. Since
that time she has been lying idle in the basin, and her
rigging, for want of use, decaying with the weather.
Now she is to be stripped and laid up, as no use can be
found for her. Much as we have seen to admire and
applaud in many of the acts of the Board of Admiralty
for the good of the service, we cannot but look upon
such indecision as the above ease exhibits as mere folly.
A three-decker is not fitted and rigged for nothing, as
the estimates will tell. This act, however, is a fitting
parallel for another. About six weeks ago the Board
ordered a committee, formed of Captain Warden, R.N.,
inspector of the steam navy afloat, President ; Captain
Gordon, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Encounter ; Mr.
Watts, assistant-surveyor of the navy ; Mr. Hughes,
assistant to the chief engineer of the navy ; Mr. 0.
Lang, assistant master shipwright of Chatham Dock-
yard ; and Mr. Thomas Baker, inspector of machinery
of her Majesty's yachts, to visit all the principal
shipbuilding and engineering establishments in the
United Kingdom, to collect such facts as they might
deem useful for the conducting of the national es-
tablishments, and also for the advantage of the
commercial marine of the country. From such a
committee and with such an object the country natu-
rally might expect the most beneficial results to ensue.
The committee got as far as Glasgow, we believe, with
their researches, when the mind of the Admiralty
changed, and the committee was recalled and dia-
-1 banded. and the several officers ordered to return to
their respective employments. Now, such facts as these
do not speak well for the stability of purpose of those
officers whom the country is depending upon for rcsolu-
tioreand defence in the hour of need; and such pusilla-
nimity is very expensive to boot. In the case of the St.
Vincent, it may be she is to be stripped for more ready
conversion to a screw-ship.
Tho Victory, 104, Captain G. B. Martin, C. 8., flag of
Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G; the Neptune,
120, Captain E. H. Scott, flag of Rear-Admiral Fan-
shawe ; and the Blenheim, 60, Captain W. 11. Hender-
son, C. 8., have struck their lower yards and topmasts
and sent up their harbour-poles for the winter.
Tho Express, Southampton packet, embarked 127
convicts from this port to-day for removal to Dartmoor.
The Fearless surveying vessel, Captain Bullock, sailed
last evening, to resume her duties in the Channel.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. 29.
Her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, flag of Admiral
Corry, now in the Sound, has received orders to com-
plete provisions for five months. She will be ready for
sea to-morrow (Saturday), and will probably leave then
for the Lisbon station, if the Sanspareil is prepared to
join her. This steam-ship has orders to make an ex-
perimental trip round the Eddystone to-day to try her
engines.

The steam-frigate Termagant, 24, Captain G. Giffard,
which left Portsmouth on Sunday, did not reach Ply-
mouth until Tuesday, at 11 p.m. Daring the passage
she experienced very heavy weather and bore up for
Torbay, on approaching which the weather lightened
and she resumed her course. Tho Termagant requires
caulk, and was yesterday officially inspected by Mr.
Edye, the master shipwright, and the other authorities
of the dockyard.
The hired convict ship Oriental Queen, belonging to
Messrs. Blyth and Greene, of London, and commanded
by Mr. Thorne, is now ready for sea, and will probably
proceed to-day for Van Diomen's Land. Having a
turbulent crew her master has had considerable difficulty,
which he has mct with energy. She embarked 56 con-
victs at Woolwich, and left on the 2Gth of September
with a complement, including the master, of 32 hands.
Having encountered a severe gale she returned to the
Downs on the Bth of October. During the gale seven
of the crew feigned sickness; and, although pro-
nounced by the surgeon superintendent, Dr. Geddes,
R.N., capable of doing duty, they remained below
until the ship was anchored in still water, when they
became suddenly convalescent. On the leth of Oc-
tober the Oriental Queen arrived at Portsmouth,
where she shipped 94 convicts and sailed therefrom
on the 13th. She took on board 60 more at Port-
land and reached Plymouth on the 17th of October,
whole rho embarked 70 convicts, making in all 280.
Under pretence that the chief officer was harsh tho crow,
after being in the Sound throe days, became mutinous,
when four of them wore brought before the magistrates
and sent to prison for four weeks. The four engaged
iu their place signed articles to join on Thursday, but
did not go ou board until Saturday. On Monday they re-
fused to do duty, were brought ashore, and sentenced
to three months' confinement, they having just previously
completed an imprisonment of one mouth for a similar
offence in another ship, the Wandsworth. Discontent
continuing, seven more of the crew were brought ashore
on Monday, and sentenced to six weeks' confinement;
thus 15 of the hands aro now in priscn. Many of those
had been advanced money on their notes here, and, al-
though some of them had four or five now shirts, and an
over-abundant wardrobe, the magistrate possessed no
power of compelling restitution to those who had made
the advance. Among the convicts by the Oriental
Queen are three of the mon concerned in the Frimloy
murder, and 21 boys from Parkhurst Prison. All the
others are likely to obtain tickets of leave in Vl4ll Die-
men's Land.

The brig Catherina, Captain Liddlo, with wheat from
Odessa, arrived here on Tuasday night. On Wednesday
sho was reported to London by the electric telegraph,
and on Tharbday morning full instructions came for her
by post. A delay of 24 hours was thus saved by tho use
of wires.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITITTION..--"Aeliel Naviga-
tion " is the subject of Mr. Crisped dtecourses at this
place. The object of the lecturer is to show in what way
the balloon, as at present constituted, nia.y be employed
for meteorological observations, the exanxination of tracts
of country inaccessible by other moans, &.c., and also the
utter impossibility of rendering such a =Aline navigable
in consequence of the resistance afforded by tle: atmos-
phere to its motion. So long as we depend upon the prin-
ciples of specific gravity for our suppotrt in the uir, sn
long. must we be content to travel where the wind will
take us; but let us not despair—we may still hope, with
BishopWi!kins, that the day may come when a man will
esti for his wings with as little consideration as ho now
calls for his boots, for we require but on thing, says the
lecturer, to bring about this ultimatum , viz., a motive
power, requiring tut little weight of madainery, to ren-
der it available. This was demonstrated :by a beautifully
contrived eying machine (the only ono, vi re are infermsd,
which has ever raised itself from the gret met) being com-
mitted to the air. Whilst the power lass ad, it continued
to rise, showing that if that could be Posit stained it would
place the whole entirely under commuu 1. Among the
numerous inventions lately deposited here is a patent, just
obtained by Messrs. Nicoll, for hat-bander and arm-bands,
having the word "Wellington" embossed ; the bat-bands
being manufactured of cloth, and the are a-bands for the
military of crape, both elegant designs, . and are highly
appropriate for the funeral of the lament ed Duke. Mr.
Crispe is also engaged in delivering a lecture, on the
manufacture of needles, and exhibits s mechise, con-
structed by Messrs. Morrell, which gri 3atly illoilitatua
the ,:codas operandi, and prevents the g seat sacrifice of
lives by the old system. Tho workmen seldcei existed
more than six or seven years. A

FURTHER PARTICULARS Oh' THE DUEL

AT EGHAM.

The following particulars have been conimunicatcd :
There exist in London at the present moment two so-
cieties, of which the members are all, or nearly all, exiles.
The one, consisting of about 200 members, is called La
Republique Paternelle; the other, of about i 0 members
is named La Revolution. The first mentioned is the;
mother society, and was composed in the beginning of
partisans of Louis Blanc and Ledru Rollin. But aeon a
schism ensued. Ledi n Rollin was accused by several
speakers of false Republicanism; his friends very natu-
rally tried to defend him, and daily bickerings and
squabbles were the consequence. Barthelemy, the gen-
tleman who is considered by public opinion as the op-
ponent of the unfortunate deceased, was the chief speaker
against Ledru Rollin's party, and as he was not only very
eloquent, but possessed a reputation of personal bravery
and courage, very few opposed him. At last
.discussions
and party feeling ran so high that Lodru Ream, d friends
separated themselves, and erected a society called La
Revolution, while Louis Dune's friends reineinca in the
mother society. At the beginning of the Gent Exhihi-
tion, Frederic Cournet, the unfortunate man who fell in
the fatal rencontre, came over to London, and was among
other things charged by ono of his friends with is letter,
and a small parcel containing some engravings, for Bar-
thelemy, who at that time was also in London. Cournet,
who did not know Barthelemy personally, a'ked one of
his friends in London who this Mr. Barthelemy was.
This friend was unfortunately the political opponent of
the latter, and did not hesitate to tell the grossest false-
hoods about him. The consequence of this was, that
when Mr. Cournet came back to Paris, he repeated to
the common friend of himself and of Barthelemy the
slanderous tale ho had heard in London. This friend
mentioned it immediately to Mr. Barthelemy, who was
at that time in Swieseriand, and who very naturally
wrote to Mr. Cournet for an explanation. This expla-
nation was not forthcoming, and after three letters had
passed between them, Barthelemy came for private rea-
sons over to England. Still the explanation not being
given, Barthelemy called Cournet out. A meeting was
arranged at Richmond, but no shot was fired there. At
last it was resolved to have a meeting in the neighbour-
hood of Windsor. Before the duel the parties agreed
that the snapping of a cap would not be considered as a
shot, and that after two balls had been fired by both
parties the duel should be finished with swords. On the
ground the pistols were loaded by the witnesses, and were
first offered to Mr. Cournot, who chose one, the other
was given to his adversary. Both fired, the cap of Mr.
Bartholeney'a pistol snapped; ho put on a fresh sap, but
it snapped again; he thou throw the pistol on the ground
saying that ho would not fire any more, offering Mr.
Cournet to finish the duel with swords, although Mr.
Cournet's skill with the sword was known to him. But
this Mr. Cournetrefused, adding at the same time, " You
have stood my fire, and I must stand yours, but take
care not to miss me, for I will not spare you." There- i
upon Cournet's pistol was loaded, handed to his oppo-
nent, who fired immediately, and as is known with fatal
effect. Cournet was said to be a captain of the French
navy, and to have been a man of great delicacy and
honour. He was not, however, a captain, but only an
enseigne de marine. He resigned this rank a consider-
able time before the revolution of 1848 broke out. He
was born at l'Orient, in Britanny, and was known as a
duellist de premiere forst. By one of the French politi-
cal societies in London, ho was not long ago declared
unanimously unworthy of being a member of it, because
ho had given a slap in the face to one of his countrymen
whose arm was broken. Besides the duel, whose issue
was so fatal to him, ho had negociations pending for
three other duels. Baronnet, his second in the duel,was
born in the department do l'lndre. Ho was formerly a
notaire, something like a conveyancer in England ; but,
Dither from private or public motives, sold his office, and
became a fabricant of snuff. He was also one of the di-
rectors or representatives of the Life Assurance Com-
pany, La Provoyance, which about a year ago failed.
He was very intimate with Cournet, and should have
gone with him to spend the winter in Italy. Allain was
a captain in the merchant service, and is now a wine
merchant in London. Barthelemy is the supposed ad-
versary of Cournet. The Prefet de Police, from Paris,
gave information to the English police that Barthelemy,
at the age of 17, had already shot a policeman ; but the
fact is, that Barthelemy, where 17 years old, wounded,
in a political melee, a eergent de vine, who was, however,
able to appear against him a fortnight afterwards. In
consequence of the part he took in the Juue insurrection
Barthelemy was tried before a court martial. So far
from Barthelemy being a professed duellist, his engae-
ment with Cournot was the second he ever fought in his
life. It is said that his own private feelings are quite in
opposition with the system of defence pursued by his
lawyer, Mr. Huddleston; and that if ho had followed his
own inclination public opinion would have been now as
much in his favour as he anticipates it will be when all
the particulars of this lamentable affair shall be known.
Mornay was formerly an huissier, and is a native of the
same department as Baronnot.

FOOLISH FREAK BY A BOY-PLAYING
THE HIGHWAYMAN.

An act of robbery, of a very daring character, was
committed on the highway near Penrith, on the after-
noon of Wednesday, the tlOth instant, by a youth who
is said to be only 15 years of age. Ile wan mounted on
a good chestnut horse, and presented quite a genteel
exterior. Oa inquiry we find that the person arrived
in Carlisle by the express train from London two days
prior to the robbery, and put up at the Bush Hotel.
Ho remained there all night, and in the morning asked
if hu could be accommodated with a hack horse as he
wished to go to Corby-eastla, the seat of Philip Henry
Howard, Esq. Mr. Breach was unable to accommodate
him, but sent him to Kr. Brockbank, livery stable
keeper, where he was provided with a horse, the same
upon which he committed the robbery and which he
left at the Fish Inn, Penrith. The affair having got
wind, Mr. Brockbank sent over to Penrith for his pony,
which he obtained on Saturday. The youth had loft his
portmanteau at the Bush, and, on its being opened, it
was found that the marks on his linen corresponded with
the statement that he %%,[l3 the son of the Hon. Mr. Cur-
zon. The affair has been the subject of much gossip in
this city and neighbourhood. It is stated that ho has
run away from the military school, whore he has been in
training for the profession of arms. We may add, that
the patio which he took from Mrs. Williams was found
divested of its contents, on the table of the Fish Inn,
Penrith. [We understand that, owing to the circum-
stances connected with the state of the boy's mind no
prosecution will be institr.tcd against him. Ho has been
restored to his friends, .who have taken precautions to
prevent the repetition ct the foolish freak above re-
corded.)—Carlisle Journal.

TUE JAPAN EXPEDITION.—SeveraI causes have con-
tributed to prevent the carrying out of the original de-
sign of the Government in the Japan affair. Things
have gone so far that the Cabinet has induced the Pre-
sident to issue efficient orders for the preparation of a
fleet worthy of the name. Commodore Perry (a brother
of him known familiarly as the hero of Lake Erie), will
have command of a squadron, composed of the Vermont
lino-of-battle ship, carrying 100 heavy guns; three
steamers, among the most efficient in our navy, via., the
Susquehanna, the Mississippi, and the Princeton, each
counting nine or ten of the heaviest guns ; the Ma-
cedonian ruse frig:ate, the sloops of war Plymouth
and Falmouth, and tho Saratoga. This is the most effi-
cient and powerful fleet that over sailed from the Ameri-
can coast. Although these vetaels carry but 220 guns,
the strength of the expedition is not to be measured by
their number. All tb.e English books on the subject go
to show that Ameitcan ships carry more weight of
metal to their tonnage than those of any other nation.
Several of those vesseds carry 10-inch shells, weighing
100 lb.; others, 10jinch solid shot, weighing 1251 b.;
others still, 11-inch ahells, weighing 1291 b. The expe-
dition is nearly ready, and it is probably as well ap-
pointed as modern science has yet taught men hew to
destroy each other.
WEEVIL OF Tut:2st VEssEns.—A very melancholy
occurenco took place early on Wednesday morning at
the month of Sunderland harbour during a strong
easterly gale. It was tide-time, and although the sea
was running very high, several vessels succeeded in
gaining the harbour safely. Just, however, as the Na-
poleon, a brig built in Stuiderland, but recently sold to
some other port, was crossing the bay she was cuught
by an immense wave, and struck with groat violence
upon the South Pier. The wave carried her on be-
tween the piers, but in a few minutes her masts
wont by tea board, and she immediately sank. The
crew six or seven in number, were all drowned with the
exception of one man, who, having got upon one of the
masts, was saved by a coble. A tow minutes afterwards
the Rebecca Johanna, a Dutch vessel, in taking the
harbour, also struck the South Pier but wearing round,
she came on shore behind the pier, and is now lying
high and dry on the beach. She has received consider-
able damage, and it is expected she will be a wrecit. Her
crew, consisting of six men, were fortunately saved by
moans of lines which were thrown on board. Aboat the
same time, a French lugger, named the Alelaucholie,
which bad left Sunderland Harbour, with the envious
tide, coal-laden, was seen tossing about and ranklyg foron
the port. In coming in, she struck liko the others,
the Sonth Pier, and immediately broke in. Thetwwo.hohad
