NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The only appointments announcedto-du are those of
the clerks and clerks' assistant to the Sans Persil.
We understand that Captain Dacres' appointment to
the Sans Pareil will only be temporary. This is quite
right, for really this officer has been kept longer on full
'pay than any other captain of the same standing on the
Ist. The Sans Pareil is to have a complement of 700
officers and men.
THE COMMAND AT Coax.—Contrary to expectation,

.ear-Admiral of the Red, John B. Purvis, Those last
command was as commodore in the River Plate, has been
appointed to the command at Cork, vice Rear-Admiral
Manley Hall Dixon, term of service expired. We pre-
sume that Rear-Admiral Corry will ba kept in command
of a flying squadron, vady for any emergency that may
arise; and that as soon as the Exhibition at Cork is
closed, he will proceed to sea, for the purpose of exer-
cising bia ships.
THE SQUADRON AT QUEENSTOWN.--The Admiralty
have paid a very graceful compliment to the sister
country, by entrusting the command of the squadron,
ordered to Qaeenstown, to remain during the existence
of the Cork Exhibition, to au Irishman ( Admiral
Corry), and especially when his flag is flying in the
Prince Regent, one of the finest two-deckers in the ser-
vice.

The Australian Mail Steam Navigation Company's
mail packet Australian, Captain lloseason, R.N., arrived
' from the Thames yesterday morning, and, on entering
Millbay, was, through the inattention of the pilot, set by
the ebb tide against the wooden end of the pier, which
she crushed, and at the same time stove her starboard
boats and bulwark'. It was considered expedient to
send her to the Devonport dockyard, where she received
the mails and had detects made good. It is intended
qit; she shall sail this evening for her destination, the
Cape of Good Hope and the Australian colonies.
