NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 6.

THE SPITHEAD FLEET.

Portsmouth and its vicinity has had a large accession
of visitors this week, owing to the rumour, which we
noticed yesterday, of a review of the fleet by the Queen,
accompanied by the distinguished visitors from foreign
courts now in town, and great will, doubtlessly, be the
disappointment when to-morrow (the day appointed by
rumour) arrives and no movement of a review character
takes place among the ships quietly at anchor off the
town. However, " it's an ill wind that blows nobody
good," says the proverb, and the hotel keepers will pro-
bably not be sorry at the origin of the reports. So large
a force being in such close contiguity to the town neces-
sarily causes a rise in articles of domestic consumption,
and the supplies drawn from the markets relieve them
of a large proportion of their edible commodities. As
this, however, is a benefit to the trade of the port, no
one complains but those of small fixed incomes, who
cannot participate in the advantages of commercial spe-
culation. A movement of the fleet seaward is daily—
nay, we may with propriety say hourly—expected, and,
we believe, most of the ships are equipped and ready
for sailing. Men, however, are still wanting. The
victualling of the fleet has been most expeditiously
accomplished, all the resources of the Royal Clarence-
yard, Gosport, having been for some time past
in full operation. From 1,000 to 1,500 tons of
water were supplied from that depot by means
of lighters in about 48 hours, together with pro-
visions for four months for each ship. Much credit is
due to Mr. Davies, R.N., the master-attendant, and Mr.
Pinhornf, R.N., the storekeeper of the Clarence-yard,
for the unwearied activity they have displayed in carry-
ing out their orders, while all their assistants and em-
ployes have seconded them with the readiest zeal. The
whole worked early and late over hours, not even avail-
ing themselves of the general holiday on the Coronation-
day. The fleet is the first object of attraction now at
the port, and is a source of great pecuniary benefit to
the watermen, as none of the ships lie nearer than three
miles from the " Point" or "Hard." The ships are now
moored more equidistant from each other than on their
first anchoring on Saturday. The Sidon having shipped
a new mainmast with much alacrity and dismantled her
sprung one, went out to Spithead again about eight
o'clock last night, and took up her station at the head of
the paddle steamers forming the starboard division of the
fleet, which is now ranged thus :
