NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

APPOINTMENTS.
WA have already anticipated that Captain George
St. Vincent King (1841), would be re appointed to
the command of the Leander, 50, at Portsmouth.
Under his resumption of office the ship will be speedily
fitted for further service at sea.
Lieutenant W. G. Jones, to the coast guard.
Chaplain—Rev. Charles V. Belgrave, re-appointed
to the Leander, 50, Portsmouth.
Naval Instructor—M. P. Saenbell, re-appointed to
the Leander.

Alates—A. J. Lines, to the Leander; Henry Davis,
to the Electra, 12, Portsmouth.
Naval Cadets—Edward Maddock, to the Arrogant,
46, screw-frigate, Portsmouth; H. H. L. Palliser, to
the Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Portsmouth.
THE ASSISTANT-SURGEONS AND THE LEANDER.--•
It will be scarcely credited that up to the paying off
of that roomy frigate the Leander, the assistant-sur-
geons were without cabins, It is known that Captain
Sydney Dacres, when he commanded the Leander for
upwards of two years, was constantly opposed to any
concession being made in favour of the junior medical
officers. We understand that the liberality of Captain
King has been very different to that of his prede-
cessor, and we have reason to believe that the
Leander will not proceed again to sea 'without being
fitted with cabins for all the medical staff entitled by
the Admiralty regulations t_
..o such comforts.—

THE DOVER PACKETS.—No less than three out of
the six of the steam-packets appropriated for the
Admiralty mail service at Dover are at present at
Woolwich in the hands of the dockyard shipwrights
and engineers. The Garland arrived on the 16th of
September, and will not be out of the hands of the en-
gineers before the let of December next.
Princess Alice arrived on the 10th, and will be
completed by the 23d inst.
Vivid, Master Commander Smithett, arrived on
the 13th, and is to be surveyed and reported.
D. Slight, late surgeon of the Indefatigable, whose
death we have already announced, departed this life
on the 29th of September, from the effects of fever.
Linnet, 6, Commander Henry Need, fitting at De-
vonport, for the coast of Africa, is already well
manned. She has a popular captain and good officers,
and will doubtless be a happy as well as an efficient
cruiser.
THE ARMAMENT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
—We are enabled to state that the number of guns
with which the new screw three decker the Duke of
Wellington, now fitting at Portsmouth, is to be armed
is 131. They will consist chiefly of 56 cwt. 32-
pounders, and 60 cwt. 68-pounders, with a pivot gun
of the heaviest calibre. Her broadside weight of
metal will he above 4,0001 be. This gigantic ship will
be put "in commission of the peace most likely be-
fore Christmas.
THE SCREW TWO-DECKER SANSPAREIL.—This
ship, commanded by Captain nacres, fitting at Da-
venport, is now fully manned; but she will not be
ready for sea by the Ist of next month if greater
exertions are not made by the contractors for her
machinery.
THE 50-GUN SCREW-FRIGATE IMPERIEUSE.—
This ship, launched last month at Deptford, and now
fitting at Woolwich, will be completed by the end of
this month, and will shortly be commissioned.
The committee on manning the navy have resumed
their sittings at Whitehall.
The revising committees for arming the merchant
steamers and inquiring into screw experience have
been broken up, and the master shipwrights have re-
turned to their respective dockyards.
THE CHANNEL Sennennora—The Commander-in-
Chief, Rear-Admiral Corry, in his flag-ship Prince
Regent, 92, Captain Hutton, with the Rodney. 92,
Captain Graham, C. 8., and Indefatigable, 50, Cap-
tain Smart, are still at Queenstown, but are expected
at Devonport. The Prince Regent's maintopmast has
been condemned. a •
Ajax, 58, screw guarla-siiip, Captain Quin, will not
he ready to leave PortsnianM for Queenstown before
the sth November. She will be out of the hands of
the dockyard on the 21st inst.
Collingwood, 80, at Portsmouth, is to be taken out
of dock this day.
Drake, lighter, sailed to-day for Plymouth, to bring
back Rear• Admiral ranshawe s furniture.
Rolla, apprentices' tender, Lieutenant-Commander
Fenwick, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday,
from Spithead.
Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Giffard, is
now reported ready for sea at Portsmouth, this day.
Tartarus, steatn•vessel, Lieutenant Commander
Risk, has returned from protecting the Scotch
fisheries, and is having her defects made good at
Chatham.
MALTA, OCT. 9.—The order for the troops to
change quarters has been finally issued, and early in
the week the removals will be effected. The 76th,
stationed since their arrival in the island in the Coto-
nera district, will be relieved by the 68th from Lower
St. Elmo, the Buffs removing from Florian to their
quarters, and the 76th going to Florian. The Malta
Fencibles will do duty in the Forts Ricasoli and
Tigne, occupying Fort Manoel as their head-
quarters.
The Sultan, from Eegland, only arrived this after-
noon.
The Fury, from the fleet, arrived yesterday, the
Bth. The fleet left Vourla Bay on the 29th ult., in
company with the Turkish division, bound to the Isle
of Samos, to collect tribute. Admiral Dundus ar•
rived in the Bay of Salamis on the evening of the 3d
instant, the steamers being employed in towing. The
Vengeance and Phaeton sailed and arrived at nearly
the same moment. The rivalry existing between the
crews of these vessels is said to be very great, and,
the Vengeance having gained some real or imaginary
advantage over the Phaeton on one occasion, the fact
was celebrated by a drawing, in which a cock was
represented as crowing on the mainmast-top. The
Admiral is so vexed at the circumstance that it is
said the Vengeance will be ordered to winter at
Gibraltar.
A court of inquiry as to the Fury running into the
Austrian ship Padre Mimbelli, as before reported,
has terminated its proceedings, and on the morning
of the 4th Lieutenant Martin, the officer of the watch
at the time of the accident, was suspended from duty,
which leads to the belief that he will be subjected to
a court-martial for the offence. The Fury has broken
a piston, and is in want of extensive repairs. The
Samson steam-frigate fell in with the fleet on the Ist
inst. She was a most acceptable addition, having
letters, gic., for the officers.
The kindliest feelings have been manifested by the
officers of the Turkish and English fleets to each
other. On the 21st ult. Admiral Ahmet Pasha gave
to Admiral Dundas and his officers, and the captains
of the fleet, a magnificent dinner on board the
Nizamiti, the decks of which were festooned with the
English and Turkish flags interlaced. After dinner,
the first toast was " The Sultan," afterwards " The
Queen," and both were honoured by a salute of 21
guns. Nothing could have gone off better.
On the 24th Admiral Dundas gave a return dinner
to the Turkish Admiral, and on his arrival on board
manned yards. On this occasion, too, the health of
the Queen and that of the Sultan were respectively
proposed, and on a light being shown from the flag-
ship the Bellerophon and Phaeton fired Royal salutes.
On the departure of Ahmet Pasha, the ship was
illuminated with blue lights, portfires, &c., and, to
add to the effect a light was shown from every port,
and several rockets were fired.
The inspections of the 68th and the Fencibles, prior
to the removals above-mentioned, have taken place
this week, in the presence of General FergUSSOU, an
to his great satisfaction.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—A trial was made to-day
oined.
nn Rat Island, in this harbour, of the efficacy of
Phillips's patent fire annihilator, with the view of
testing its capability to extinguish fire aboard ship.
The Port Admiral and a large number of other dis-
tinguished officers were present at the experiment,
which was made of 20 barrels of tar emptied into a
ditch or trench and ignited, when the annihilator was
brought into ploy on it successfully. Another expe-
riment was then tried upon a more extended scale,
with about 60 empty tar burrels, hut which was not
so successful as the first. Application was made for a
further trial, but the permission of the Lords of the
Admiralty has to be obtained ere another trial can be
granted.
The Archer, 14, Commander Strange, has been
taken into the angle dock to-day to repair defects.
She has been stripped, and will have a thorough refit.
Her crew will be paid wages next week.

SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—Her Majesty's screw
line-of-battle ship Agamemnon, 90, Captain •Sir T.
Maitland, was taken into the fitting-basin on Tues-
day, and placed underneath the shears. Her main
and mizenmasts were put in the same day, her fore•
mast and bowsprit yesterday. At high water she
was warped into No. 3 dock, to have her copper
examined, which received some injury on her removal
from the basin at Woolwich.
Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Tartarus,
Mr. Richard H. Risk, lieutenant-commanding, is
daily expecting to be ordered to Woolwich, to have
her machinery, &c., repaired. This being effected,
and the defects in her hull made good, she will re-
turn to the coast of Scotland, as a protection to • the
fisheries. _
Her Majesty's paidle-wheel steam-vessel Barra-
couta, C, Mr. S. WM. Freeman, master in charge,
having completed. her fitting and coaled, will be re-
moved this day from the fitting basin, and moored off
the west shore of the harbour, as an addition to the
advanced steam squadron of reserve.
Her Majesty's paddle4vheel steam-vessel Wildfire,
Mr. Brockman, second-master commanding, will em-
bark to-day for Woolwich, Captain the Hon. Mon-

WOOLWICH, OCT. 15.—The Wasp steam-sloop,
Commander Lord John Hay, when she went down
the river yesterday was tried at the measured mile to
ascertain her speed, when she was found to make on
an average of four runs, two down and two up, 6
3-10 knots per hour. She is only fitted with engines
of 100-horse power, although she is 700 tons, but,
being a good sailing vessel, her engines are seldom
used. She had her compasses adjusted to-day by
Captain Johnson, and, after taking her powder on
board at Greenhithe,l will leave for the Mediterranean
station.

TRIALS OF ANCHORS.
_
rOOLWICH, SEPT. 15.—The anchors originally tested
at Woolwich with the usual proof strain, and subse-
quently experimented with at Sheerness to ascertain
their holding powers and other qualities, were brought
into the anchor-testing room at W oolwich Dockyard, to
be broken, in the presence of Captain the Hon. Montagu
Stopford, ilsg•captain of the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship
at Sheerness; Captain Charles Hope, of the Monarob,
84, guard ship of ordinary, and Superintendent of Sheer-
nets Dockyard; Captain Mundy, of the London, 90, at
Sheerness; Mr. James Tonkin, master of the Waterloo,
120; Mr. Cornelius T. A. Noddall, master of the Lon-
don, 90; Paymaster Frederick L. Fegen, secretary at
Sheerness dockyard; Commandant Henry Eden, super-
intendent of Woolwich Dockyard; Captain Hall, R.N. ;
Commander Stuart, Commander Woolcombe,_ Com-
mander Kerr, Commander Hon. A. J. Douglas, Lieute-
nant G. G. Phillips, Lieutenant W. Mould, and Lieute-
nant Wodehouse, officers studying steam at the factory
at Woolwich Dockyard ; Mr. Atherton, chief engineer;
Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer ; Mr.
Lennox, Lieutenant Rogers, Mr. Trotman, Mr. Mit-
cham, and several others connected with the anchors,
and Mr. Montagu Gore, and other scientific gentlemen,
were also present to witness the trials.
The first anchor placed in the testing frame was one
of Lieutenant Rodgers' patent anchors, weighing 19 cwt.
81b,, the usual testing strain of that weight being 19i
tons. On 20 tons strain being applied, the deflection
was a quarter of an inch, and it began to crack at 45 tons
and again at 684 tons, 70k, 714, 72, 73, and broke its
shackle at 73i tons, which completed its trial.
Mr. Mitcham having declined to have his anchor
broken, one of Messrs. Brown and Lennox's anchors,
weighing 20 cwt. 3 qrs. 141 b., was placed in the frame,
the usual proof strain being 21k tons. On 20 being ap-
plied it deflected 1-16th of an inch, and it cracked at
44i tons, and broke at 47 tons, the shank being broke
even across at 2 feet 44 inches from the crown.
Mr. Isaacs' American ancLor, weighing 21cwt. Oqr.
141 b., was then placed in the frame, the usual proof
strain being 211- tons. On 20 ton; being applied it de-
flected 3-16ths of an inch, and cracke:l at 58 tons, and
again at 61, 62, and broke at 63 in the sh,:!•uk, near the
eroWri.
Mr. Trotman's anchor, weighing 21 cwt. 1 101 b..
was next placed in the testing frame, and on 26 tons
being applied it deflected 11-16ths of an inch mid
cracked at 511, and again at 53, and broke at 53i tons
in the shank, 2 feet 4 inches from the crown. It was
not intended to break Mr. Honiball's (late Porter's
anchor), its principle being so similar to Trotman's,
which was made as an improvement upon it; but in
consequence of Trotman's being the first made on his
plan, and the peak found to press too much on the
shank, it was decided that Mr. Honiball's should be
broken. On being placed in the testing frame it began
to crack on the application of 54 tons, again at 59i, 60i,
63, 66, and broke at 753- at 2 feet 3i inches from the pin
in the crown. The upper arm broke at the same mo-
ment, a proof of the equal strength of both parts of the
anchor.
The trials concluded at half-past four o'clock, P.m.,
by breaking ono of the Admiralty anchors, which began
to crack at 40k, again at 48k, 50, 51k, 52k, 53i, 54, 54i,
and the arm came out of the crown at 56k,
Mr. Aylen's anchor will be broken to-morrow.

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.--There is always
something looming in the future for the public amusement,
at least, if not for their material benefit, and now that the
long evenings have set in we may shortly expect an
abundant crop of new exhibitions. We have heard one
spoken of that seems to be quite novel in its idea. It will
replace the Marionette at the Adelaide Gallery, and there is
little doubt that it will prove highly attractive. It will
consist of a soiree comique to be given by Mr. W. S. Woodin,
a gentleman giftedi with extraordinary mimic powers, and
the entertainment will be called The Carpet Bag and Sketch
Book introducing living impersonations of the leading cha-
racters and features of the age. The entertainment is the
result of a study extending over a period of several years,
mad those who are in the secret confidently predict that it
will surpass every thing of the sort that has yet been
attempted in the metropolis.
THE SUBTERRANEAN TELEGRAPH TO DOVER.—
An interruption to the laying down of this electric telegraph
was offered on the 12th inst. by the Canterbury station-
master of the South-Eastern Conipany, who persisting ill
his opposition, and the contractor of the works being equally
firm to proceed, the latter was handed over to the custody
of a railway policeman. On a hearing at the Guildhtlentehiel
charge against the contractor was dismissed. T
advised the station-master to allow the works t toehperoceed,

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.--PLYMOUTH, OCT. 15,
—The wires of the electric telegraph are now connected and
nearly ready for public use from Exeter to the premises at
the Union Baths. which have been taken by the company for
that purpose. This is a situation central to the three towns
of Plymouth, Devon Port, and Stonehonse. Another set of
laid in pipes along Union-street to the dock-
wires are beitg
yard, where they will be established in one of the public
offices as near aspossible to the port-admirars residence. It
expected•that these will be ready for use by the Govern-
ment in about three or four weeks. Arrangements have also
been made by the Telegraph Company to have two dis-
patches a day from Falmouth by the Cornish mails, and
any information brought by them will be immediately trans-
' mitted direct to London or the north of England, with which
, these wires will be in communication.

Burnley Hall, 10t
The followingHrme, .p.: ,
10th Oct., 1852.
„pear Sir,—Your letter of the 7th instant only
reached me yesterday, and I hasten to answer your
question.
~ In the first piace, you are right in using your best
efforts to increase the number of associations for re-
moval of the taxes on knowledge, and I think the qua!:
tion becomes daily more and more approved of by all
persons except the Whigs and Tories—both t.hese
par-
ties oppose, as they consider Government and l
theirs alone; and that the spread of knowledge en
their monopoly of power and profit! its

out of powo.. , I would not pay him the compliment that
you propose. I wish I could look on his speech at Perth
as honest and sincere—which I do not; and I therefore
object to the association demeaning itself by the course
you propose. We shall certainly succeed—but it will be
against both the Whiga and Tories; and I would hold
both parties cheap in regard to their assistance.
" All the Whigs deprecate in words the fettering of
the press; and yet, with power in their hands, they have
pertinaciously refused to knock off any one link of the
enslaving chain that prevents the spread of knowledge
and the education of the nation.
" I hope that Mr. Cobden and other members will
agree with me, and that you will keep a high hand, and
set the two great oppressing parties at a distance.
" I remain, your obedient servant,
" JOSEPIi HUMS.

Letters from St. Petcrsburgh of the 6th instant
state that the affairs of M. Podsossoff, who latent. ly. su ended,
had been arranged. He was to pay 10 per ce in cash, and
the remainder in full by yearly instalments of 15 per cent. out
of the revenue of the gold mines in which he
is engaged. His
total debts had been ascertained to amor.int to
.422,5001. The
rate of exchange at St. Petersburgh. still continues unfavour-
able for England, in consequence ot the heavy shipments of
produce.
