NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEVONPORT, Nov. 15.
The electric telegraph has been completed here to the
Commodore Superintendent's office, and Mr. Arthur
Radcliffe has been appointed to have charge of it ; he
arrived here for that purpose on Monday.
The charge against Mrs. Sampson, of Devonport, for
harbouring a seaman of the Dee, and of which so much
has been said in the local papers, was dismissed yester-
day the finding the man in an open tap-room, with
all doors open, could not be considered as concealing.
St. George, ordinary guard-ship, has been paid wages
this day.

SOUTHERN WHALE FISHERY. The New Bedford
Mercury has reports from about 70 ships on the coast
of Kamschatka, up to August 1. The ships have done
very well, the average catch being about nine whales to
each vessel. The few reports which we have from the
Arctic do not look so well, but they are not sufficiently
numerous to demonstrate the fortune of the season.—

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Last evening, after the play
of Anne Blake, a Monody, beautifully written by Mr.
Westland Marston, was beautifully spoken by Mrs.
Charles Kean. This graceful and appropriate tribute of

servedly appreciated by the audience, with which the-
house was densely crowded.

since a large proportion of the letter carriers in the
kingdom memorialised the Postmaster-General, begging
his lordship to rescind the recent order forbidding them
to solicit Christmas boxes. The following is a copy of
the reply which the various letter carriers have received:
—" General Post-office, November, 1852.—Sir,—The
Postmaster-General having received a memorial from
you and other letter carriers at respecting the so-
licitation of Christmas boxes from the public by servants
of this department, I am desired to state, in reply, that

recent order on that subject.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, WsMABEELET, Secretary."
