NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 1.
The Agamemnon, 91, screw line-of-battle ship, Cap-
tain Sir Thomas Maitland. We regret to state that
many fresh cases break out amongst the crew, who are
berthed in the Camperdown alongside ; and although no
serious results have yet arisen, it still continues to baffle
the skill of the medical officers, who, to their credit be
it said, use every exertion and kindness in administering
to the comforts of the sick men.
The Cruiser, 16, screw steam-sloop, commander the
Hon. George H. Douglas, having received her supply of
coals from the coal depot, hauled out into the stream,
and awaits sailing orders.
The Rolla, 6; apprentices' tender, Lieutenant Com-
mander Fenwick, hauled into No. 1 Dock to-day, to
have her copper cleaned and examined, preparatory to
fitting her out for her usual summer exercises by the
naval apprentices.
The Orestes, old 18-gun sloop, that we announced
some time since had been converted into a moveable coal
depot, was this morning put into operation by being
towed out of harbour by the Echo steam-tug, and laid
alongside the Basilisk, steam-sloop, which received her full
supply therefrom ; after which the Echo returned with
her into harbour. This is a vast improvement upon the
old system of war-steamers being first obliged Ito die
charge their powder at Spithead 1 and then come into
harbour to coal. When the Pitt is ready, there will be
a still greater advantage, as she will be stationed at the
Motherbank for vessels to run alongside, thereby saving
much time as well as expense.
