NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 6.

The Rear-Admiral Superintendent (A. Fanshawe,
C. 8.) of this dockyard received the deputation from the
sawyers of the establishment in his office this morning,
and the men say they never experienced such courteous,
considerate, and thoroughly gentlemanly treatment
from any official in their lives. He listened most pa.
tiently to the detail of their grievances, and expressed
his approval of the mode they had adopted (by their
memorial), in bringing their case to his -notice' and as
he considered their case a worthy one he should forward
At for the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty.
The sawyers express the warmest gratitude for the
manner of their reception by the head of the dockyard.
By the death of Sir Thomas Livingstone, Admiral of
the White, Admiral of the Blue the Earl of Dundonald,
G.C.8., becomes Admiral of the White ; Vice-Admiral
of the Red the Right Hon. Lord W. Fitzroy, K.C.8.,
becomes Admiral of the Blue ; Vice-Admiral
of the irhite Sir John Louis becomes Vice-Admiral of
the Red ; Vice-Admiral of the Blue the Right Hon.
Granville George Lord Radstock, C.B. becomes Vice-
Admiral of the White ; Rear-Admiral of the Red Henry
Hope, C. 8., becomes Vice-Admiral of the Blue ; Rear-
Admiral of the White Charles Sotheby becomes Rear-
Admiral of the Red ; Rear-Admiral of the Blue David
Price becomes Rear-Admiral of the White ; and Captain
Rich, Superintendent of the Royal William Victualling-
yard, Plymouth, attains his flag, making the lucrative
post he holds vacant.
Lieutenant-General Lord Raglan, Master-General of
the Ordnance, accompanied by Lieutenant-General Sir
John Burgoyne, G.C.8., Inspector-General of Fortifica-
tions, arrived at this port, from town, yesterday morn-
ing, and embarked in the Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr.
George Allen, commanding, to make an inspection of
Hurst Castle, Sconce Fort, &c. They were attended in
their inspection by Colonel Sir- J. M. F. Smith, K.H.,
commanding Royal Engineers in this garrison, Lieuten-
ants-Colonel Haultain and Cater, R.A., and their per-
sonal staffs. The Sprightly returned with them in the
evening. This morning the distinguished officers pro-
ceededto Blockhouse Fort, and inspected that. After
which they crossed to this garrison and inspected the
Portsmouth defences, attended by Major-General Simp-
son, the Lieutenant-Governor, who saluted the Master-
General of the Ordnance with 15 guns.

The experiments which have been for some time pend-
ing in her Majesty's ship Fairy, under the direction of
Captain Crispin, to ascertain the best description of screw,
terminated yesterday, and the general results have been
deemed so satisfactory, both (as we are informed) as to
increased speed as well as decreased vibration, that the
patent propeller (Griffiths')•with the two fans is retained
in her permanently instead of the common screw, and
the patentees yesterday were ordered by the Admiralty
to make a screw on their principle for the Agamemnon,
91, as quickly as possible, which they expect will deter-
mine the principle of screws for the navy for the future.
The nigMyer, 21, Captain Moor, is having a thorough
refit in the angle dock. She is to L Lave a new propeller,
most likely one of Grslfiths' patent. A sad accident hap-
pened on board her last night to a man named David
Casteers' captain of the mizentop, who fell from ono of
the yards upon the deck, by which he sustained such in-
juries that his life is despaired of.

- The Isabel screw steam-vessel, Commander Inglefield,
having completed caulking, went out of harbour this
morning in tow of the African steam-tug, but the weather
looking threatening she anchored in Cowes Roads.
