NAVAL IIVTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 4.
Sir Edmund Lyons, the new 'commander-in-chief for
the Mediterranean, arrived by the train this afternoon,
and at once visited the port admiral, Sir Thomas John
Cochrane, in the dockyard, accompanied by his secre-
tary and retinue. After which Sir Edmund,-with the
port admiral, and attended by Captain M'Cleverty,
with Flag-Lieutenant Hankey, called on Rear Admiral
Superintendent Fanshawe in the office department.
The Terrible, 21, paddle, Captain M'Cleverty, is not
expected to. leave Spithead before Sunday.
Lieut. Lumpley, W. Peyton, and Lieut. Thos. M.
M. Wynward have been appointed first and second to
the Frolic, 16, Commander Nolloth. The Frolic is
making a good show in her rigging, and has already
entered between 50 and 60 good men. They will have
a picked crew, for men are offering in all directions;
the difficulty is in refusing.
The Dauntless, 33, screw, is ordered to have a
thorough examination as to the cause of the stench
arising from the interior of the after part ; it is almost
unbearable the first thing in the morning, and we are glad
to know that no exertion or pains will be spared
to ascertain from what cause this effluvium arises,
and with the chemical appliances at hand we doubt
not but that the evil will be speedily remedied.

PEMBROKE, Nov. 4.

The term of service as Captain-Superintendent,
Sir Thomas' Pasley, expires next session, when it is
conjectured the gallant captain will go to Chatham, to
be succeeded at Pembroke by Captain Baynes, C.B.
The town of Pembroke has been lighted with gas,
and it is hoped that this invaluable agent will be ex-
tended to the dockyard without delay.
The Saturn depot-ship, is to be paid off and re-com-
missioned ; a report however, is current that the haven
is to be honoured with a guard-ship as at the other
establishments. The Saturn would then be converted
into an hospital ship, and a frigate stationed in the
haven instead. This arrangement would be a most
desirable one, as at present not a single gun is afloat for
the defence of the invaluable property ou the shores Of
the harbour.

EmIGRATION L FROM
ing last week, L OCHABER.— On Tuesday even-
nearly a
ochaber witnessed the departure of
eof he so d t golden shores
the Lochi 1 ref Australia.ns and
Theseau wereghters allforfrom
e property, and went under the auspices
of the Highland and Island •
Emigration Society,
their part theirexpenses,
landlord paying the third of
and cancelling all their arrears of rent. There can
be no better proof that emigration from parts of the
Highlands is necessary than the fact thA these people
have voluntary left possessions under one of the most
indulgent landlords in the country. They found that
even without paying rents they could only exist in misery
and wretchedness, and they consequently determined to
take advantage of the only alternative left them. Even
this they could not have accomplished had they not been
aided by the Highland and Island Emigration Society—
a society deserving the support of all interested in the
improvement and prosperity of the country.—lnvcritess
