NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
There is yet another delay with the Sanspareil, 81,
screw- ship, Captain Dacres, at Deronport ; some
parts of the machinery have not yet arrived, which, if
not speedily received, will cause a postponement in
the time she is progressed for—viz, the 26th inst.
Mr. Dent, the newly-appointed storekeeper of De-
vonport Dockyard, entered on his duties on Friday,
very much to the satisfaction of both officers and men
of the establishment.
Ajax, 58, screw guard-ship, Captain Quin, will be
ready by the 16th instant to return to Queenstown-
A court-martial will take place to-day, we under-
stand, on a warrant-officer belonging to her, for
drunkenness. In the absence of Rear-Admiral Su-
perintendent Fanshawe, C. 8., Captain Chads, C. 8.,
of the Excellent, will preside.
Archer, 14, screw steam-sloop, Commander
Strange, has been surveyed, and is not to be paid off.
She will be paid down and refitted at Portsmouth.
Electra, 14, Commander Morris, will be ready to
go to Spithead the latter end of the week, in readi-
ness to receive her orders for Australia.
Encounter, 16, screw-corvette, Capt. O'Callaghan,
is ready for coming out of dock, at Portsmouth ; she
is to be ready for sea the 16th instant.
Leander, 50, Captain George St. Vincent King, is
to be paid off at Portsmouth about Wednesday next.
;:he state of discipline of this noble frigate does great
credit to her captain, first lieutenant, and the officers
generally; and if Lieutenant May does not receive
his promotion, which he has fairly earned, we trust
the Admiralty vtill re-appoint him, as also the other
gun-room officers who have ever since Captain King's
appointment pulled well together. The ship's com •
pany are happy and contented, and we think it
would display a want of sound policy if officers and
men who understand each other should be separated,
particularly at a moment when the manning of the
navy is occupying the attention of a committee, con-
sisting of some of the most distinguished and expe-
rienced officers in the service.
Simoom screw guard ship, Captain Kingcome, is
awaiting further orders at Spithead. She is all ready
to embark a regiment.
Oriental hired convict ship arrived at Spithead on
Saturday evening to embark convicts for Australia.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Bittern, 12, Com-
mander Vansittart, arrived at Spithead this morning,
and the Daring, 12, Commander Napier, arrived this
evening, from the Nore. Each saluted the Comman-
der-in-Chief on bringing up. These vessels left the
Nore in company at one P.M. on Friday, and had a
trial of sailing on the way to see which should make
Spithead first. In this trial the Bittern (one of
Symonds's sloops) has shown great superiority over
the Daring, having come to the anchorage about ten
hours before the latter, which is the celebrated
experimental brig built by White, of Cowes. The
Bittern goes to the East and the Daring to the West
Indies.
