NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
The Barham, 50, Captain Corry, arrived this afternoon
from the Mediterranean, having sailed from Malta on the
27th of January, Gibraltar on the 28th of February, and
Lisbon on the 10th iust. ; from the latter place she sailed
in company with the Scylla, Hen. Commander Denman,
with which she parted company on the evening of the llth,
the Scylla being ordered to Plymouth, in consequence of
her defective state—in such a state, in fact, as to render
her being convoyed home by the Barham a matter of due
precaution. Her officers and crew are to be turned over
to the Childers. The day previous to the Bai-hato leaving
Gibraltar, the Wasp, 16, Hon. Commander Pelham, had
sailed with Prince George of Camb;idge to Maisga; the
Harlequin was daily exp, cted at Gibraltar ifrom M lea on

LAUNCH OF run INDUS.—This noble ship, intended to
mount 78 guns, was launched this morning. The crowd
of persons to witness the sight, censidering the 'time Of
the year, and the appearance of the wttather, was enor-
mous; for a full hour the rush of persons into the Docit-
gates was incessant, and, as usual, every accommodation
was afforded, by the erection of seats, &c., to render the
view available to as many as as possible. No accident oc-
curred to any individual, but in warping the ship into the
basin a hawser snapped, and her bows came in contact
with the muting sheers on the jetty, and a small part of
her figure-head was carried away ; she was, however,
safely docked. A soon as coppered she will, we regret
to say, be placed in ordinary, for which she is fitted.
But what else could be expected ; she is of Sir Robert
Seppings' construction, and Sir Robert is not the Sur-
veyor of the Navy. The powers that be have other mat-
ters in hand, and want no such fearful competitors as the
Indus would prove to be against their own pets and pro'
ductions. This ship has been about sixteen years on the,
stocks; she is teak built, and her general model is that of
the Christian the Seventh. She has a noble bow, and
would stem a head sea, or ride at anchor in a heavy swell
with great ease. Her dimensions are—

ft. in.
Length on the lower deck lBB 6
Length of keel
Breadth extreme 5l 2
Depth in hold .. 49 8
Tonnage, according to the ,old law 2,095
Ditto, according to the nets- law 2,097
We should not omit to mention that the Marine baud
and Sir Philip Durham's band were stationed round the
slip, and played several :appropriate tunas.

CORN AND COALS.—There exists a more close
connexion between these two commodities than is apt
tO
strike every. observer at first sight, and we perceive that
circumstances may he manufactured or may, be found
wherein the points of connexion may be brought still closer•
It is admitted on all hands that corn is the first article °f
necessity for the sustaining of the life of man ; but oftc.rt
the corn is reared up and gathered in and thrashed out,
can neither be converted into bread nor gruel, pudding it
pancake—it can neither be prepared for the food of mg¢7t.
parching, or baking, or boiling, without the application I
fire, arid every person knows that to make fire without W
is All absolute impossibility. Both corn and-coals are di:,
spontaneous pronuctions of the earth. The surface of I.e,
ground indeed must be broken up in the one case, and tun.
bowels of the earth prnetrated in the other—but bcoig
Nature is the grand manufacturer of both commodities.'
