THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.

The Malacca, 14, screw-sloop, has arrived at Spitheael.
Her engines have broken down in coming from Sheerness.
The Rhadanianthus paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Master
Commander John Belam, is now ready for sea, and only
awaits the Diligence store-ship, being loaded with the ma-
chinery of the Falcon screw steam-sloop, to tow the Dili-
gence to Portsmouth. Two of the crew of the Rhada-
manthus got into trouble on Saturday last, through some
quarrel with their sweethearts, as during the misunder-
standing one of them struck a police-constable, for which
be was fined 5/. by the presiding magistrate, on Monday,
and the other 11. for being riotous and creating a disturb-
ance. On the rest of the crew of the steam store-ship
being made acquainted with the sentence on their mess-
mates, forty-six of the crew voluntarily subscribed a suffi-
cient sum to pay the fines, and prevent their messmates
being sent to prison. The magistrate considerately reduced
the fine of 51. to 3/.

The Vivid, Master Commander Allen, went out of
Portsmouth Harbour yesterday afternoon, and down to
Cowes.

THE COLOSSUS.

The Colossus, 80, s3rew, Captain Spencer Robinson, was
swung yesterday at Portsmouth, hulk and al], by Mr.
Peter Wellington, attached to the Victory, to ascertain
the deviation of her compass. The Colossus Iris completed
outside painting, and looks a picture. She has only to re-
ceive her 70 days' consumption of bread, when she will be
ready to leave the harbour. After she has received her
powder and shell 3 at Spithead, her lower port sills will be
about six feet six from the water's edge. The Colossus is
flaw wishing to complete her complement with A.B.s only,
having refused many ordinaries. Barring her orlop-deck
dens she is a model fighting ship, and as handsome a vessel
as ever sat upon the ocean ; her rig, moreover, is perfect,
and commands the attention of all nautical men.

leaders, w +re awarded 10 weeks ; the remaining 12 eight
weeks' imprisonment. One, being sick, was discharged,
and sent to the hospital for cure.
On then 21st, the Australian screw steam transport,
No. 120, came in with 270 rank and file of the Royal
Artillery, and 10 horses from Woolwich. The follo,Ning
officers w ere on board :—Majors Irving and Young; Lfeut-
enants Penn, An liewe, Maclachlan, Cockerill, Simpson,
and Mae teuzie ; Assistant-Surgeon W. 11. Cockerill, and
Mr. J. J obustond.

The :Ripon, Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer, having on board his Highness the young Elhamee
Pasha an d' suite, arrived on the 14th with the bulk of the
India m t il, and on the same day the Valetta, from
Marseille s. On getting ready for sea, it was discovered
that som e thing was wrong with the machinery of the
Ripon, .ar'hen the 'Valetta was ordered to proceed with
her to Al a xandria, and in case of need to take her in tow.
On her re ar,urn to Malta she will be overhauled and repaired,
which m; ky probably detain her in port for two or three
days. Oz her outward voyage nothing wrong was de-
tected; eb o made it in her usual time, and it was not till
she was p reparing to continue her course to Alexandria
that the d efect was made manifest.
The cholera, although it has not made the rapid
advance 1 v hick in other countries has proved so destructive,
neverthel e.ss causes some disquietude. Cases are con-
stantly 11 ported as having appeared, and those in different
parts of t he city and easels.
In the' Dapicio and Hospital of Incurables it has been
more seri ens in its results than in other places, necessi-
tating th e separaticn by removal of the inhabitants of
those as Toms. Government has felt the necessity of
adopting Precautionary measures, has called into active
employ Va., sanitary committee, and has added to the
number of the medical. staff for assistance to those who
may be us /fortunately attacked. One measure of extreme
usefulness has been adopted, viz., the converting into a
temporary- hospital the Castellania, a beautiful and large
building, till lately used as the court-house and police
office.

ance I have received from my naval aide-de-camp the Honourable Ernest Cochrane, who has been most zealous
and active in the discharge of the duties required of him,
many of which have, in consequence of Lieut. Cowell's
cabaracsence, from his wounds, partaken more of the military
hter.
Kr. Cochrane is a young officer of great intelligence, and
I beg leave to recommend him most strongly .to your
favourable notice, and to express a hope, should a force be
again employed on shore; that I may have the benefit of
his assistance.—l have, &c.,
