NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 9.
The Blenheim, 60, screw-guardship, Capt. Pelham,
sailed this morning on a cruise.

The Plumper, 9, screw-sloop, Commander Wharton,
went out of harbour this afternoon and anchored at Spit-
head. She saluted the port admiral with the customary
salute, which was returned by the Victory.
The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, will be undocked
to-morrow and taken into the steam basin.

The Edinburgh, 58, screw steam-ship, Captain S.
Hewlett, is expected to return to Spithead on Monday
from her cruise.

The Sealark, 8, sloop, has hauled alongside the Dryad
receiving hulk, to be fitted, to take the place of the ap-
prentice brig Rolla.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, it is expected,
will go under extensive alterations. She is to be length-
ened 60 feet, and to receive engines of 200-horse power,
in addition to those now on board.
The Sir Robert Peel Indiaman sailed last evening.

SHEERNESS, SErr. 9.
The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander
Webber, is now rigged all ataut ; her rigging is sparred
ready for rattling down ; she has up to this time only
eight petty officers and able seamen. The men-of-war

either to Portsmouth or Devonport to complete her com-
plement. At each of the western ports they have sea-
men's homes, where the well-disposed seamen, both of
the royal navy and mercantile marine, find shelter and
provision, the former exceedingly cheap, and the latter
at moderate charges. Neithor of, these comforts are at
present available at this port, where they can only be
"taken in and done for," no seamen will remain here.
The crew of the Monarch, guardship of ordinary, are
engaged, under charge of Mr. A. F. Mugford, second
master, putting the boilers and machinery, &c., brought
down here by the Cyclops, into the Cressy, 80, screw
steam-ship. She remains under the sheers in the fitting
basin.
The Royal George, 120, screw steam-ship, has been
moved over to the north side of the fitting basin for the
convenience of receiving her rigging, stores, armament,
&c. The seamen riggers belonging to the yard, and a
number of shipwrights, joiners, &a., are engaged on her
to expedite her fitment ready for her being commissioned.
The Phaeton, 50-gun frigate, has undergone a survey,
and is now refitting in the basin preparatory to her
being commissioned.

derThMe steam-transport
tug African proceeded alongside and trans-shipped the
marine artillery for the President, 50, fitting at Chat-
ham, and left here at 3.30. The Rhadamanthus left
here at 3.45 the same day for Woolwich with marine
artillery for ships fitting at that port.
The Myrtle, steam-tender to the Monarch, left here
for Chatham yesterday at 4.45 p.m., and returned again
the same evening.

WOOLWICH, SEPT. 9.
APPOINTMENTS.

Surgeon Walter Lawrance (1852) to the Stromboli,
paddle-wheel steam-sloop, at Portsmouth.
Clerks' Assistants—W. S. Mould, to the Neptune,
120, guard-ship of ordinary at Portsmouth ; C. P. L.
Brockman, to the Stromboli. _

The Vulcan, screw steam-troopship, Commander Von
Donop, shortly after she left her moorings at the dock-
yard, with troops on board for the West Indies, ran so
close to the Sarah schooner, of South Shields, lying at
anchor in Galleon's Reach, opposite the Royal Arsenal,
that the anchor of the troop screw steam-ship caught
her rigging 'and pulled down one of her masts altogether,
and a part of the top of the other mast, and destroyed
a portion of the bulwarks at the stern of the vessel. The
Sarah was laden with tallow, and was towed up the river
to one of the docks in the afternoon by the Monkey
steam-vessel to have her damages made good.

The Rhadamanthus, paddlewheel steam troop-vessel,
Master-Commander Belam, arrived at Gravesend yes-
terday evening, and came up to Woolwich at an early
hour with Captain Morris's Company of Royal Artillery,
relieved from Devonport. The company put their bag-
gage on shore at the dockyard, and marched up to the
garrison, headed by the band and drums and flutes of
the regiment. During the voyage round from Devon-
port the Rhadamanthus came into collision with a
strange vessel, but the latter would not stop to give her
name or mention the damage she sustained, which is
supposed to have been slight, as, although the Rhada-
manthus fired guns and steamed after her for upwards
of an hour and a half, she could not overtake her. The
damage sustained by the Rhadamanthus is the loss of
her figurehead and a portion of her bows, which will
have to be repaired at Woolwich.

CHATHAM, SETT. S.

.ual exhibition
Association was

Thahow took place in Christ Church Park, the

seat of Mr. W. C. Fonnereau. The stock exhi-
bited was quite up to the average number and qua-
lity shown in former years. Among the visitors
we noticed the Earl of Stradbroke, Sir W. F.
F. Middleton, Lord St. Leonards, Sir E. Gooch,
M.P., Sir Fitzroy Kelly, &c.
In the evening the dinner took place in the Corn
Exchange, where upwards of 250 gentlemen sat
down. The Earl of Stradbroke, the President of
the Association, occupied the chair.
The usual loyal toasts having been given,
Mr. J. C. COBBOLD, M.P., proposed " the health
of the President," which was received with great
applause.
The Earl of STRADBROKE said, it would be in the
recollection of many present that when this society
was first established, agriculturists generally had
been suffering for some time under deep depression,
not from any fault of their own, but from a violent
change in the circulating medium, so that farmers
were called on to pay rents in one currency which
they had made arrangements to pay in another. The
consequence was that a large portion of the labour-
ing population were discharged, causing an increase
of poor-rates, and producing great misery among
the people. (Hear.) But, thanks to the ener-
gies of the Anglo-Saxon blood, and to the courage
of Englishmen, it was resolved to make an attempt
to overcome the difficulty, and, by the application
of borrowed capital, to give encouragement to men
of scientific attainments to improve machinery. By
these means, and also by the stimulus derived from
the popularity which attended the operations of
this society, as well as from the excellent speeches
made at its annual meetings, the agriculturists
were enabled eventually to weather the storm. For
many years—certainly from the year 1834 to 1836
—this country did enjoy an uninterrupted career
of prosperity. He would pass over the next few
years, because it was rather painful to allude to
them ; but they had now arrived at a period when,
through the unexpected discoveries of large quali-
ties of gold in many parts of the world, followed as
it has been by a considerable emigration from this,
and a perfect exodus from the sister country, there
had taken place, accompanied by a considerable rise
in the price of provisions, an increase of the wages
of all engaged in laborious pursuits, and an enjoy-
ment of luxuries by the humbler classes which, pre-
viously, were unknown to them. It had been our
duty for some years to encourage emigration, with
the view of benefitting, not only those whom he
felt it right to send to different parts of the world,
b
the but also those who remained behind. He thought
time had now arrived when it would be pru-
dent to put a check upon thisisel migration. (Hear.)
feasible In his opinion, the only
e way to effect this
would be by improving the habitations of the poor
—(hear, hear)---and by erectingthem in
the vici-
nity of those places where their labour was re-
quired. It was his good fortune, recently,to be
present at the meeting of the Royal Agricultural
Society of Ireland, and he felt assured a t every
person present would rejoice to know that the
misery which had so long existed in the sister
country was about to disappear. (Cheers.) After
some further observations, he concluded by pro-
posing " Success to the East Suffolk Agricultural
Association."

The toast was drunk with all the honours.

The PRESIDENT then proposed " The health of
the members for the eastern division of the county
of Suffolk," Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir E. S. Gooch,
which was drunk with great enthusiasm.
Sir F. KELLY was very cordially received by the
assemblage.—After acknowledging the honour con-
ferred upon him, he said,—l very sincerely assure
you that, in the efforts I have made to justify your
choice, I have been supported by the conviction
that I was pleading the cause of a body of men
whose energy and honesty—whose patience and
perseverance under the severest trials, entitle them
to the gratitude of their countrymen, and to the
best exertions which can be made in their behalf
in the Legislature. As long as the agriculturists
of this country are distinguished by that integrity
and perseverance which have of late characterised
them, and as long as their efforts are aided by the
skill and enterprise of the Ransoms and Garretts in
machinery, they need never despair, however se-
vere may be the trials to which they may be sub-
jected. lam aware, that upon these festive occa-
sions, an ancient and salutary rule is laid down,
from which I should be the last to depart, to avoid
all allusions to political subjects, upon which, in
this free country, it is impossible but that there
must be great and serious differences of opinion.
I will endeavour to conform to that rule as far as
it is possible to do so consistently with the justice
which I owe to you, in the allusions which I have
to make to the changes which of late have been
happily experienced by the agricultural interest.
Whatever may have been the cause, it is in vain to
deny that when last we met the farming interest was
suffering severely under a depression, from which,
I rejoice to know, it has at last partially risen.
Now that that change has been undergone and has
placed you in a better position, and enabled you to
perceive that your efforts for the support of your-
selves and of the interest in which you are engaged
hold out some hope of realising your expectations,
it becomes us all to inquire what are the causes
which have led to this appearance of prosperity.
It is in vain to deny that some of them are beyond
human control. Undoubtedly, it is rather by a
dispensation of Providence than by any efforts of
man that at the time when, by the effects of legis-
lation, you were almost deprived of the hope of
maintaining that position in society which the great
interests intrusted to your hands entitles you to
hold, owing to the influx of gold, and its effects
upon prices aided, perhaps, in some measure by
the great tide of emigration which has rolled
away from our shores, the unhappy depression to
which you were reduced has partially ceased. But
it is also to your own great and untiring efforts
that you are indebted for the relief which you
now experience. (Loud cheers.) It is impos-
sible not to see that all that industry and per-
severance can do to improve the interests of the
society to which they belong, has been done by the
farmers of this country, as evidenced in the mag-
nificent display which was made this morning in
the show field. We should remember also that
those efforts must be continued. The causes to
which I have alluded—the effect of emigration—
the effect of the increase in the circulating medium
caused by the quantity of gold pouring into this
country from Australia and California—may still
continue, to some extent, to mitigate and coun-
teract the evils to which you have been exposed ;
but these circumstances are merely temporary, and
limited in their nature and effect. Therefore it is
not to them that you can trust, with any certainty,
as to the future. I have never despaired of what
the energies of the people, and especially of the
agricultural portion of the community, can accom-
plish, and it was with this conviction that I ven-
tured to tell you, last year at Framliughara, that it
was not to legislation, nor to legislators, nor to
Ministers, but to yourselves that you must look for
relief from the mischiefs to which you had been ex-
posed. I entirely agree with those who think that no
prosperity can exist in any community unless the
labouring classes are well kept, well provided for,
and made contented. Among the principal sources
of gratification with which I have viewed the late
change—the late happy change—in the situation
and prospects of the agriculturists, the greatest, per-
haps,
has been that it implies of necessity a
of the
improvement in the situation.l great
poorer classes.
As long as they can obtain wages enough to pro-
cure not only actual subsistence in the necessaries
of life, but now and then what they have hitherto
rarely enjoyed—comforts and luxuries, so long we
need not dread either disturbance or revolution,
however much they may take place in other coun-
tries ; so long will that connection subsist between
high and low, rich and poor, employer and em-
ployed, which tends to the happiness and stability
of nations. (Cheers.) That your prosperity rosy
1
long continue, that you may go on improving in all
the arts of peace, in all that tends to the promotion
of agriculture, in all that must ultimately establish_e
and secure the contentment and happiness of the
community, is my most earnest prayer. I feel that
I cannot so well prove that I am not h
un-
worthy of the kindness with which you havelway
MIR
met and supported me, than by lending my
1 b.lO
aid, whenever and wherever I have the power, t
the attainment of that great end. (Loud cheers.)
The remaining toasts on the list having been
disposed of the company
separated.

WHIRLWIND AND WATERSPOUT IN THE MEDITRR.
RANEAN.—On the 16th of August vessels sailing in the
waters of Tunis were surprised by a sudden whirlwind,
which threw several laden with grain on their beam-ends
and compelled them eventually to enter Tunis to
a h
righters
their shifted cargoes. On the following day
waterspout passed over the town of Leghorn at nine in
the morning, and breaking, accompanied by a whirl-
wind, unroofed houses and buildings, carried away win-
dow-frames and blinds, uprooted trees and shrubberies,
and cause much damage. It was truly providential that
it was not of longer duration, for during the time it
lasted many of the lower classes thought the day of judge
ment had arrived.
