NAVAL INTELLIGENC
PORTSMOUTH, MAY 2.—The Conflict • steam-verse
Acting:Commander Jenner, has at length reached Spit-
bead,e from . the Brazils, after putting in at Lisbon
QueeeatiowneFalmouth, and Plymouth. This " Lame
duck" got up to Spithead this morning, bringing from
Plymouth a large proportion of the crew of the gunnery
ship Hotspur, at that port, to join the Edinburgh,
58, et this.
Tee Wolverine, 12, Commander Falcon, arrived at
Spithead last night from the Coast of Africa. She left
Loan,o on the 3d of March, when the Gladiator steam-
frigate, Captain Adams; was there on her way to the
Cape of Good Hope to complete her commission. The
Firefly, 4, steam-sloop, Commander G. A. Seymour,
was also at Loando, senior officer. The Prometheus, 5,
steam-sloop, Commander Foote, was cruizing off the
Congo and the Kee:seed% The Cygnet, s, Commander
R. W. White, was off Ambriz. The Wolverine took
the Gladiator's kroomen to ' Sierra Leone, calling at
Aficension on the 18th of March, and taking on board
Lieutenant Didham, late of the Bloodhound; Lieutenant
Cator, and Dr. Tiernan, promoted. She left at As
to Mon' the. Tortoise store' and guard-ship, 12,•Captain
Kitchen, and the Volcano, 5, steam-sloop, Commander
, Coote, and arrived at Sierra Leone on the 31st of March.
' Cora al anderßruce, in the Penelope, 16, steam-frigate, ar-
rived on the same day from Caps eVerds. The Sealark,
8, Commander Sotheby, arrived in the afternoon, and
the Philomel, 8, Commander T. G. Forbes, in the even-
ing. The Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Commander Temple,
arrived on the 2d of April, and the Packet from Eng-
land on- the 3d, at two A.M. Lieutenant H. Christie has
exchanged with Acting-Lieutenant Bruce to command
the Bloodhound steam-tender, Mr. Bruce coming home
to pass. The Wolverine left Sierra Leone on the 3d of
April without mails. The Philomel was to leave on the
sth for the Gambia and England. Commodore Bruce
would sail for the Bights-in a few days. The &Oak had
taken a Spanish brig up the river Pongal. The Wolve-
rine has made three prizes and liberated 464 slaves; the
trade was very flat; there was very little ventured upon
exeept'to the northward, and that for the Cuban market.
On the 9th of April, at five P.N., in latitude 9.48 N.,
longitude -24.25 W., the Wolverine exchanged colours
with the English ship Raffaelle, of London, running to
the southward, every possible stitch of canvas set; on the
22d a heavy gale from the N.W. passed to windward
and in sight of Fay al; 23d, at 7.30 AAI , in latitude
40.34 N., longitude 26.03 W., passed and exchanged
colours with the English steamer Parana of London,
steering to the northward—wind strong from N.N.W.
The Wolverine has not been above two years and a half
in commission; therefore it is probable the Admiralty
will have- some more work out of her before- paying
her off.
The Southampton Indiaman, one of - Wigram's fllt,
Captain Bowen, from Calcutta, arrived off the Wight on
Thursday, the same day' as the' Amazon frigate, al-
though she sailed from St. Helena two days after her,
and the man-of-war is considered a crack sailer.
'The Japara, a Dutch ship, of and for Rbtterdam, from
Baltimore, is ashore at the back of the Isle of Wight,
having got aground in thick weather on Friday. She is
freighted with tobacco and flour; she has cut away main
and foremasts, and lies in a very dangerous state. She
has gone ashore near the - place where the Sphynx
steam-sloop was wrecked a few years ago. On the cir-
cumstance being made known yesterday morning to
Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs by M. Vandenbergh, his
Netherlands Majesty's Consul at this port, the naval
steam-tug Echo, Mr. Harding master, was most promptly
• Ordered away, with necessary hands and stores, for as-
s dating in getting the ship Off.
The Sprightly steam-tender' Acting-Master-George
Allen commanding, returned from Devonport this
morning with the officers and part of the creel, a the
gunnery ship Hotspur, to join the Edinburgh. After
discharging them she went out to Spithead, and brought
, in those who took passage in the Conflict, and placed
them on board the Blake hulk. "
, -The Queen, 116, Captain Wise, is expected to come
into the harbour to-morrow to be docked and refitted.
. The Sidon, 26, steam-frigate, in the basin, had her
steam up yesterday to try her engines.
The Driver, .6, steamesloop, Commander Johnson,
sailed last evening for Woolwich to be paid off.
The Diligence, naval' transport, arrived on Friday
from Queenstown and Plymouth with naval stores, and
has come into harbour.
The Porcupine, 3, steamer, was commissioned on Ss-
today, by Lieutenant-Commander G. M. Jackson._ e

Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Myrtle, Mr.

moorings in the harbour in the afternoon.

This long suspense in the recdpt of latet commercial
and political intelligence had a disturbing 'influence on
gsaeral operations, and the reserve assumed in which
spread cluirdess over our export market., and which was
further aggravated, by an upward tending exchange,
and the intetveption of some native holidays. The
transactions since our last issue have, from these com-
bined causes, been kept within, the most narrow bounds,
without leading prices, though less steady, to any gene-
ral deelinevwhile within the last few days :the advicea
of the somewhat improved position .of a few leading
staples,, have,:as regards these, imparted renewed firm-

has somewhat irregularly • proposed.—(Cheers
and 'laughter.) I thought I was 'safe .from being
called on in the course of this evening, be-
cause I remembered that, last • year, you said,
as the Lord Mayor bf London was not present, you ,ex-
pected ,rne rto return thanks for him,, and, as I saw
the Lord-Dfayor was present this eveLdng, I imagined I r
should be excused,—(Latighter and cheers). With re-

has made, whether they were in jest 1:11.T earnest, or in ,
both--(Laughter)—my efforts shall be used to provide a
better habitation for the 'Royal Acadon.v.—(Cheers)
No one knows better than the president himself that we
were, as all governments will be, afraid of taking the - •

Captain Cospatrick Bane Hamilton (1847), having
. -
gone through a course of study of steam at the factory at
Woolwich Dockyard, was examined during the present
week by Mr. Charles Hatherton, chief engineer, and
ePhoarul:
ts
after a minute and lengthened inquiry into his know-,
ledge of steam and the working of marine steam-engines,
he passed very satisfactorily, and received an excellent
cerriGeate.

To7day (the Ist of May) having been appointed by the
Lords of the Admiralty for the delivery of various kinds
of anchors from different inventors, for the purpose of
being tested—first at Woolwich, where they will un-
dergo the usual test of anchors to ascertain their strength
for service, and subsequently at Sheerness, to ascertain
their holding powers and other 'qualities, in soft and
bard ground, and under every way in which they would
have to be used at tea—the following were received at
Woolwich Dockyard, and' the testing process to decide
their strength when tried by hydraulic power 'will com-
mence on Monday forenoon:—i •
Two anchors made by Fox and Henderson, on. Lieu-
tenant Rogers patented principle, the one a bower
anchor, having a shank of 9ft. lin. Id length, and the
arm measuring aft. 3in. from the inside. The total
weight of the anchor and stock is 24_cwt. 2. qrs. and
241 b. The other is a kedge anchor, having a shank
ift. 7in. in length, and the .ar.na measuring 4ft.
The total weight 'of the anchor and stock is 25 cwt.
A patented anchor from Mr.. James Honiball, 42,
Qortibilli having a shank of 11ft. 7in. in length, and the
arms measuring 4ft. Gin, made by Wood Brothers, of
Liverpodl, who had a medal' awarded them at the Eihi-
bition for their superior chain cables. •
An anchor by Mr. Trotman, of similar dimensions
and form as the preceding, with a modification of the
palm, by which the penetrating angle is much enhanced.
The total weight of the anchor and stock is 25 ewt. 1 qr.
and 61b. • '
A registered anchor by. Mr. Mitcheson, similar in form
to the ordinary anchor, the preinmed improvement being
an alteration in the sections •of the' shank, arms, and
palm. The length of the shank is loft. and the arms
4ft. from the inside. -
Anchors from other parties aro expected, bat they
have not been landed. When the Wilting is completed
at Woolwich and Sheerness the anchors will be brought
back to Woolwich, and the hydraulic power applied
to' ascertain the utmost strain they will bear before
breaking.
ROYAL MARINES.--The officers of the Woolwich
division of the Royal Marines gave a grand soiree at
their messroom in the barracks on Wednesday evening
last, and it was numerously attended by the nobility,
gentry, and fashionable families of the garrison, town,
and neighbourhood. Refreshments, consisting of every
delicacy of the season, with a profusion of choice wines,
were served to the assembly, and all were delighted with
the entertainment. Daricing continued till about four
o'clock on the folloWing morning, the excellent band of
;he division playing a fine selection of music.

New, this is an arena which yet remains open for the
Chancellor of the Exchequer—(Cheers and'laughter)—
and, as he has eucceeckd in• so many things already, I
hope he will try to emceed in the fine arts as he has
done in literature, and, as I must say, he has done in
political science.—(Prreet laughter and cheering.)
Thetoist of the "Foreign Ministers" was acknow-
ledged by his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen.
The health of the "Lord Mayor" and several other
toasts followed, and the, party broke up at-half-past ten
o'clock.

health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen."
The to was drunk with all the honours,
lewd by
the national anthem. and fol-
The PRESIDENT next gave " The health of the Prince
Consort," whose patronage of the arts and sciences Sir
Charles eulogised in very warm terms. His Royal
Highness had honoured the academy with his presence
at their anniversary banquet last year, at a moment when
deeply engaged in furthering the opening of that glori-
ous Exhibition, the contemplation of which had afforded
all who witnessed it such unbounded pleasure. The
name of Prince Albert must henceforth be intimately
associated with the history of art in this country.
The toast was drank with all honours.
The PRESIDENT next gave " The Army and Navy,"
coupling with them the name of the Duke of
Wellington.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had no objection
to return thanks for both, although there was a Noble
Friend of his present who was more conversant with the
sister service than himself=he meant the Duke of Nor-
thumberland, The Chairman had been pleased to allude
to the efficiency of the British army, and of its readiness
to act when the call of duty required it. He, himself,
believed that whatever difficulties the army might have
to contend with, they would always(' maintain their re-
putation for subordination and bravery.—(Hear.)
The PRESIDENT next gave the health of " Her Ma-
jesty's Ministers."
Tho Earl of DERBY, in responding, expressed the ex-
treme pleasure he felt at being present at a meeting
where no differences of political opinion could possibly
astses—(He thanked the president and the company for
the honour they had paid to the ministry of which he
was a member, and he could conscientiously assure them
that he was most desirous, with the aid of his Hon.
Friend, Mr. Disraeli—(Laughter)—to do what he
could towards providing a better building than they
had at present for the cultivation of the arts in this
country.—(Hear.)
Tho toast of the " Illustrious Guests". who had ho-
noured the Academy with their presence, was responded
to by
The Marquis of SALISBURY, who
said it was the . first
time he had ever dined with the 'Royal Academicians,
but, from the amount of gratification he had-derived from
his first visit, he hoped it would not be the last.
The PRESIDENT now proposed, "Literature and
Painting," coupling the name of Mr. Disraeli with
the toast.

The price to be given for the Crystal Palace by
the City speculators, is, we understand, 70,0001. Since the
contract Was'entieredinto the purchasers have, it is said, beef}
tempted by still higher offers thanthat-for thei' bargaini
but have refused ; though by the sum proffered them, they
would realise rt, -very handsome profit. It is intended (as we
before stated) to re-erect the palace in the neighbourhood of
London; and sites have been surveyed at 'Wimbledon, at
Battersea, arld at Sydenham none has, however, been do-
tided on.
