NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

A large steam-frigate, with troops (supposed to be the
Megasra), ender trysails, standing W. by S., was passed
during a heavy N.W. gale, and seeming to make good
weather of it, on the 9th inst., in lat. 48 57 N., long.
6 45 W., by the Brilliant, at Southampton.
Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas's flag-ship Britannia,
120, Captain Goldsmith, at Portsmouth, it is expected,
will be fully manned in the course of ten days. She
has all her petty officers, and nearly all her A.B.'s.
She rc quires ordinary seamen and smart boys. It is
believed that the Gallant Admiral will hoist his flag
about the 3d of February.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sri. F. P. Berkeley, C. 8,, who
will succeed Admiral Dundas as senior naval lord, has
returned to the Admiralty. _ _

It was reported yesterday that Captain Sir Edward
Belcher, C. 8., and Captain Kellett, C. 8., will command
the Arctic Searching Expedition of 1852.
Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., the ex commander of
the late Arctic searching expedition, it is reported, will
commission the Sanspareil, 81-gun screw-ship, at De.
vonport, as superintendent of the steam department at
that port. It is also said that he is to have the first
vacant Good-service Pension.

Rapid, 8, Commander Blanc, having bad her defects
made good, was towed into Plymouth Sound on Saturday
by the Confiauce, steam-tug. She hoisted the Blue
Peter, but as the weather set in foul she held on, and
very wisely, as it blew a gale in the night from S.W„
with torrents of rain. On Sunday the wind hauld in to
N.W. at times, but it remains very unsettled.
Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, is being fast
dismantli d, and will be paid off in a few d..ys.
Tortoise, lighter, Shearman master, sailed from Devon'
port on Saturday evening, for Falmouth, with the fur-
niture of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, taken out of the
Southampton; but put back again on Sunday morning.
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 12.—0 n Friday last the Board of
Examination at the Royal Clarence-yard (Mr. John Da-
vies, RN., master-attendant; Mr. Joseph Pinhorn, store-
keeper ; and Dr. M.Kechnie, of Haslar), opened 219
cases of preserved meat, out of which number only 37
were considered good enough to distribute for consump-
tion ; 282 contained similarly offensive matter to that
previously condemned, and were thrown overboard at
sea. To-day the examination has not been resumed, the
whole of the canister in the lower store having been
disposed cf. To morrow the stock in the upper stores
will be commenced upon.
Orders have been issued to the executive of the Royal
Clarence-yard to recommence the manufacture m-
miean for the supply of the new Arctic Searching Ex -
pedition.
Awful weather has visited these shores during t'ie past
four days and nights. The Southampton, 50 gun frigate,
carried away her mainyard, and has been waiting at St.
lielen'a for another, which was sent out to her by the
tug this afternoon.
Captain Kincaid, inspector of factories for Scotland,
has appointed Mr. S. Kincaid, surgeon, R.N. (late uf her
Majesty's ship Helena), a certifying surgeon of fact)riea
pro tern , with the sanction of the director-general.

Tim :NEW CHURCII AT
heavy gale which prevailed on Friday morning the district
of Hampstead suffered most severely. Amongst many other
casualties was that of the blowing off nearly thirty feet of
the spire of the newly.erected district aura. The edifice,
built in one of the loftiest positions of that elevated neigh-
bourhood, from its peculiar site and extreme height (being
upwards of 200 feet) has been an object of great attractions
It was a most fortunate circumstance that the accident hap-
pened during the night; for had it occurred when the work-'
