NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

With the exception of the Hogue, Blenheim, Sidon,
Magicienne, and Banshee, there is not a single ship at
Woolwich, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Devonport, and
Queenstown, that is fully manned ; and those ships that
have half or three-fourths of their full complements are
manned with a very low class of seamen or boys and
inexperienced landsmen. The only men-of-war nearer
the Baltic than Sheerness are the Arrogant, 46, screw-
frigate, at the Orkneys ; and the Otter, steam-vessel,
surveying at the Shetland Isles. There is scarcely a
man-of-war that could be sent to the North Sea fully
manned without taking the men from the ordinary flag-
ships or the coast guard, and leaving ports and coasts
defenceless. In fact, there is no force that could be col-
lected at the home ports that could prevent the Russian
fleet from quitting the Baltic, and, in the event of hos-
tilities, to ravage the whole of our northern coasts.

PORTSMOUTH, Mu 31.
Letters from the West India squadron, which arrived
this morning, make no mention of the alleged mutiny
on board the Medea steam-sloop, which has of late been
going the round of the papers. We have a letter from
a gentleman on board, but not a word upon the above
report, which we therefore conclude to have been
founded. The Medea was at Havannah on the 16th
ult. ; all well. She arrived there on the 21st of March,
and, after landing Mr. Backhouse, the Judge of the
Mixed Commission Court, went to cruise near the old
Bahama Channel, whence she returned to Havannah on
the 16th ult., and would leave again for the same
cruising ground on that evening. The Cumberland, 70,
flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., was
at Bermuda. The Buzzard steam-sloop, Commander
Dobbie, was cruising off the north coast of Cuba ; the
Daring, 12, Commander Napier, was off Cape Maize ;
the Calypso, 20, Captain Forbes, was at Barbadoes ;
the Vestal, 26, Captain Hamilton, was hourly expected
at Havannah from Bermuda ; the Devastation steam-
sloop, Commander Campbell, has been cruising off Cuba
for a fortnight, and sailed on the 16th to join the Ad-
miral at Bermuda.

The Hogue, 60, screw two-decker, Captain Ramsay,
arrrived at Spithead this morning, and saluted. She
joined the Blenheim, 60, and awaits further orders.

The Sidon, 22, Captain Goldsmith, had her steam up
in the basin to-day after refitting her shaft ; the machi-
nery all worked well. She went out to Spithead this
afternoon, and is now ready for sea again.
The Simoom steam troop ship, Captain Kingcome (to
be relieved by Captain Smith), is refitting her rigging in
the steam dock, and having her bottom recoated with
composition.

Tile Vulcan, 6, steam troop frigate, Commander Von
Donop, embarked detachments of the Royal Artillery,
26th, 66th, and 76th regiments at the dockyard jetty
for Halifax this morning.
Blenheim, 58, screw, Captain H. H. Henderson,
C. 8., as we announced in our yesterday's journal, went
to Spithead last evening, saluting the flag of the com-
mander-in-chief, Sir Thomas John Cochrane, which was
duly acknowledged by the Victory.
The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master Commander
Allen, has received on board this afternoon, from the
dockyard jetty, four officers—viz., Captain Elwyn, and
Lieutenants Jones, Mackenzie, and Savage-18 non-
commissioned officers, and 120 men of the Royal Artil-
lery, and vial convey them to Alderney this evening,
bringing back a party of sappers and miners, who have
been engaged in building barracks and other accommo-
dation for the Royal Artillery.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 31.
The flag of Port-Admiral Sir John Ommanney was
struck on Sunday evening on board the Impregnable, in
Itamoaze. The Admiral is gone in the Sprightly steam-
tender to Portsmouth, on leave, and his duties devolve
on Commodore Superintendent M. Seymour.
Her Majesty's screw steam block-ship Hogue, 60, Cap-
tain Ramsey, steamed out of harbour yesterday, at 9.30
a.m., for Portsmouth, where she will be docked and have
her copper cleaned, all the docks here being engaged.
Captain Clavell, Lieutenants Hutchinson and Dudson,
4 sergeants, 4 corporals, 2 drummers, and 154 privates,
Royal Marines, embark to-day for service on board the
St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain Keppel.

PRIZE MONEY FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER.
Messrs. Chippendale have given notice to the officers
and company of her Majesty's steam-vessel Sharpshooter,
commander (then lieutenant) John Crawshay Bailey,
who were actually on board, that they will be paid their
proportions for the under-mentioned prizes, on the 27th
June next, at No. 10, John-street, Adelphi, and all
shares not then claimed will be re-called every Monday
and Thursday for the next three months, pursuant to
act of Parliament.

NOVA SCOTIA MINING AND COPPER-SMELTING COM-
PANY.—Yesterday a meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street, to receive a report from the directors, and to de-
termine as to the best mode of winding up the concern.
Mr. h. D. Mangles, M.P., in the chair.—A report was
read from the directors, stating that they had taken the
precaution of retaining in their hands the shares to
be given to the vendors in purchase of the mines at India
Point and the De Burt, Acadian, and Folly Mountain Iron
Mines until the company should ascertain from the report
of inspectors sent out from this country that the mines were
of the character which had been described to them. The
result of the inquiry instituted by those inspectors was,
that the mines were utterly worthless, and the vendors
had immediately consented to waive any claim they
might be considered to have upon the company, whilst
the directors, acting under the advice of legal authority,
had determined upon winding-up the concern, and pay-
ing the preliminary expenses out of their own pockets—
the solicitors and bankers having voluntarily signified
their intention to abstain from making any claim what-
ever for their services. The report was adopted, and
the chairman stated that the whole of the deposits would
be returned to the shareholders within 21 days, or so
soon as the consent of three-fourths of the shareholders
should be given in favour of such a course of proceeding.
—Thanks were voted to the directors, the solicitor, and
bankers, and the meeting separated.
