NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Business
this day.

Captain O'Brien has arrived at the Admiralty, and has
entered upon his duties as private secretary to the First
Lord, Sir James Graham, Bart.
The Admiralty have marked their appreciation of the
good conduct of many of the crew of the Phaeton, 50,
just paid off at Sheerness, by ordering them to be entered
at the various dockyards as seamen riggers.
About 150 good seamen have been entered on board
the various ships of the navy fitting at the ports during
the past week.
THE SMALL-PDX ON BOARD THE HERCULES, AT QUEENS-
TOWN.--The Admiralty has authorised the gallant com-
mander-in-chief at Cork to receive the emigrants, as well
as the crew affected with small-pox, at the Royal Naval
Hospital at Haulbowline. One death only has occurred
as yet, which is that of a child, who was buried at sea ;
but another, that of an adult, was expected to occur on
Wednesday evening. It is most fortunate that the old
hospital was not dismantled, or the old fittings dis-
turbed, and that the new one was finished. The gallant
admiral has evinced the most anxious solicitude for the
poor emigrants on board the Hercules, and the medical
officer at Queenstown, Dr. Dunn, has exerted himself
most laudably on the occasion.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 28.
ARRIVAL OF THE TYNE FROM BRAZIL AND THE COAST

OF AFRICA.

Tyne, 4, store-ship, Master Commander Peter Wel-
lington, arrived at Spithead this day, about 10 a.m.
The weather was so thick the whole morning that her
number could not be seen from the shore. Some time
after, the commander landed with dispatches at the
dockyard. The Tyne is 38 days from Rio. She brings
home a large mail, and a small quantity of treasure.
Also as passengers—Lady Henderson, the wife of Rear-
Admiral Henderson, C. 8., of the Centaur, 6, flag-ship
of South American squadron ; Captain E. F. L. Cannon ;
Miss Truscott, niece of the admiral, and Mrs. Hunt and

Henderson, C. 8.. was cruising off Cape Frio.

Make, and Rifleman, 8, screw steam-sloop, Lieut. Com-
mander Richard H. Dalton, were cruising off the Cathe-
rines.

The Tyne has brought home invalids from the squa-
dron ; also a number of boys released from the service
of the Brazilian Government, and a quantity of old
stores.

As soon as the Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fan-
shawe heard that Lady Henderson and family were on
board, the gallant admiral instantly ordered his galley
to Spithead, and brought the ladies on shore. They
have taken up their quarters at the George Hotel, High-
street.

The Tyne is ordered off to Woolwich. She left this
port on the 10th of September, 1852, with stores for the
squadrons.

the dockyard, at 10 a.m. The troops marched from
their barracks at nine, preceded by the 91st and 19th
bands, and accompanied by a vast number of the towns-
people. This regiment, by its high discipline and excel-
lent conduct, has obtained the kindliest feeling from the
whole of the inhabitants, and it speaks volumes when we
state that out of 800 men there was only one prisoner,
and he looked thoroughly ashamed of himself. The
Roman Emperor and Marion sail for the Mauritius to-
morrow.
