NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
SATURDAY, JUNE 23.—The Athol troop frigate, C. P. BellatilY,
Esq., commander, arrived yesterday, from Quebec, which place she left
on the 20th of May; she brings home 101 invalids from the various
regiments, under the charge of Capt. Barry, 15th regiment, 16 military
convicts, 25 women, and 56 children.

Ihe Cornwallis, 74, with the Hon. Rear Admiral Sir Charles Pa-
get's flag, arrived at Halifax on the 23d of May; the Talarcra, 74,
arrived on the same day, with two-thirds of the 73d regiment on board
❑lso the Charybdis brig, Hon. Licut. Gore, and the Dee steam f, igate,
commander Shcrer ; the Cornwallis was to proceed to Quebec on the
27th, in company with the Dee, and remain there abouth twa months ;
the Talavera was to take the llth regiment on board for conveyance to
St. John's, New Brunswick, from whence she would return to EuroPc
the Charybdis and Dee were forced to go to Halifax, in consequence of
the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, between Cape Breton and
Newfoundland, being entirely blocked up by a belt of ice, which had
drifted farther northward, and had frozen together, outside of which
the Hastings was compelled to cruise for some days, until it broke uP ;
and it is not a little singular that beyond this belt the Gulf and River
St. Lawrence were both quite free from ice. The Cornwallis has been
live times at Halifax since she has been on her present station.
The Diligence naval transport arrived yesterday from the westward,
with stores, and came into harbour to-day. The Gipsy tender arrived
on Tuesday from Sheerness with supernumeraries, and returned oa
Thursday with newly-entered men.

MEETING OF THE MATES OF H.M•
SQUADRON, STATIONED AT PORTSMOUTH.

A meeting was held on Tuesday at the George Hotel, by the Mate
t
and attended by other Officers of her Majesty's Squadron, stationed
this port, upon the subject of the refusal, on the part of Colonel Levi l°'
the Commandant of the Plymouth Division of Royal Marines, to alley'
the band of that corps to attend the funeral of the late Mr. Lewis, mate
of the Royal Adelaideovhose untimely death on board that ship has been
already noticed. Mr. J. Aylmer Paynter, of H. M. S. Excellent, having
been unanimously called on take the chair, opened the proceeding' he
stating that a letter, signed " Blue Jacket" having appeared in t
Naval and Military Gazette commenting on the above circumstance,the Mates of H.M.S. Excellent had written to their brother officers
the Royal Adelaide at Plymouth for a statement of what actuaAllYbee
of
oc-
curred in this respect; to which request the following answer
received:—

H.M.S. Royal Adelaide, Plymouth,
June 14, 1838.
GENTLEmEIc—TIIC best plan of giving you a clear view of the circuwi
stances of the attendance of the Marine Band being refused at the funer7,
of our late Messmate Lewis, is to relate to you the manner in whiclit
was asked for and refused. Two Mates of the ship went as a deputation
3
to Colonel Lewis, wioh their Captain's compliments, and asked, a 5
favour, if ha would allow the Marine Band to attend the remains of theirhr
late Messmate to thegrave; to which he answered, ncit
that he would
hear nor think of such a thing, adding at the same time, that it would
be making a bad precedent. He was met on that point, by their saying
that it would not be making a precedent, as the Marine Band had
always attended at the funerals of Naval Officers who were buried w.,tn,
military honours—instancing the case of Lieut. Derriman, who died
some months since, while belonging to the San Josef, and at whose"
funeral the Band had attended. He then not only persisted in his re-
fusal, but was candid enough to say, that had he been at Plymouth the
Marine Band should not have attended on that occasion.
The Band of the 09th Regiment was then asked for, and was given
with as much courtesy as the other was uncourteously refused. N 7
have reason to thank the 29th, not only for the Band, but for the hand'
some manner in which it was given. The Naval world being at AIL,"
to account for such an extraordinary circumstance as the non-attend-
ance of the Marine Band at the funeral of a Naval Officer, have very na-
turally thought some point of etiquette had been violated in asking for
it—never dreaming that it could be refused (if properly asked for), tO
attend at the funeral of an Officer belonging to a professiOn Of which
the Marine Corps is a branch.
Gun-Room Officers H.M.S. Eeeellent.
The Chairman resumed by observing, that on the receipt or this
answer, his brother officers and himself, at this port, considered they
were called upon, in the first instance, to return thair grateful thanks to
Lieut.-Colonel Simpson, and the Officers of the 29th Ileglment, for the
kind manner iu which they granted the attendance of. the reginlontal
band on the melancholy occasion referred to—and in the next, to mark
their surprise and regret that the Colonel-Commandant of the Royal
Marines should have found it necessary to refuse permission for thel3and
of that corps to do so. In whatever way the present meeting might a:
press their sense of the latter, he knew the superior rank of Colonel
Lewis to themselves would nut be lost sight of.—(llear, hear.) He onli
spoke the sentiments also of the whole of his brother officers, when he
said, that whatever comments they might make upon the subject, esPe-
cial tare would be taken to avoid any expression that could imply a H.
flection on the corps—(Hear, hear)—that whatever resolution the occa-
sion seemed to call for, should be so framed asto preclude the P°ssibiliti
of its being construed into a censure of the corps in the most remote
gree, or having a tendency calculated to interrupt that harmony an
good understanding which existed and ought always to prevail, between
the two branches of the service.—(Hear, hear.)
After sonic judicious observations from the whole of the offices; Prat
sent to the same effect, and more particularly in confirmation of what
had fallen from the Chairman—their anxiety not to say anything ths;
could imply a reflection on the corps of Royal Marines,
the folleWiy-
resolutions were submitted and unanimously adopted :
Resolved—That this meeting cannot tint express their surprise a'
regret that the Colonel Commandant of the Plymouth Division of ite)hl
Marines should have found it necessary to rofuse permission fur the
attendance of the band of that corps, at the funeral of their late br°+`""
officer Mr. Lewis, of her Majesty's ship Royal Adelaide ; but hopei:t
will not tend to feelingsturb the harmony and good feeling which 11n1°-
exists between the two branches of the Naval Service. Resolved—That the sincere and grateful thanks of this meeti"6 he

The CHAIRMAN then submitted, that the vote of thanks to Lieut.
Colonel Simpson, and the officers of the 29th Regiment, should be c°-
„
veyed to them its the following letter :

George Hotel, Portsmouth, June 19 1896
beg to lay before you a copy of resolutions, unanimously
agreed to at a General Meeting of the Mates of her Majesty's ,quadre;
at Portsmouth ; and in furtherance of these resolutions, I beg, in th
name of the Mates of the squadron, to offer to yourself and the Otbe'`,i,
c,f the 29th Regiment, our most sincere and
grateful thanks, for t"
kind and handsome manner in which you granted the attendance of the
Regimental Baud at the interment of our late much respected brother
officer, Mr. Lewis.
Trusting that the good fe,lings which actuated your conduct on I"
late mournful occasion, may ever exist between our respective service'
which may then be justly termed united,
I have the honour to remain your most obedient servant,
(Signed) J. AYLMER rAyNTER.
Chairman of the Niee6.l4.
To Lieut.-Colonel Simpson, H.M. 29th Regiment.
On a motion being made that this letter be adopted,
Mr. Dumaeesq said, he had peculiar satisfaction in seconding it, b,f;
cause he knew that this was not the only instance in which the navy ``73
indebted for kindness to the officers of the 29th Regiment. It had be' e
experienced at the Mauritius ; for the moment the ship in which ,
flt
(Dumaresq) was, arrived at that island, the officers of that
that moment invited all the officers of the ship, without distinction
rank, to become honorary members of their mess, treating then:
brothers in the same service, though separate in its branch.—(APPl3":co

The motion was then unanimously carried, and after thanks had
aci'ro
given to the Chairman for his able and impartial conduct in the Ch
the meting, which was admirably conducted, dissolved.
