NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The screw three•decker Duke of Wellington, at Ports-
mouth, it is said, has gone down so deep in the water,
that she has only about two inches to spare between her
keel and the mud. Should a strong south-easterly wind
set in, she might have to go into dock again to repair
the " rubs."

Naval Cadet.—H. L. Price has been appointed to the
Sybille, 40, Devonport.
The Herald, Captain Henry Mangles Denham, from
Plymouth and the Cape, arrived at Sydney on the 18th
February. She left Plymouth Sound on the 10th of
June, on a surveying expedition ; she arrived at Ma-
deira June 28, and left July 9 ; at St. Vincent's,
July 17, and left 29 ; Rio, Sept. 24, and left Oct. 29 ;
Tristan de Acunha, Nov. 12, and made a running
survey of the island ; arrived at Table Bay, Nov.
26, and left Dec. 5 ; Simon's Bay, Dec. 7, and left
27 ; St. Paul's, Jan. 16, left Jan. 27, having made
a thorough survey of the island. Several deep-sea
soundings were obtained during the voyage, the
deepest of which, 7,766 fathoms, was in lat. 36 49 S. ,
long. 37 6W. The Torch has been used as a tender,
but proved of little service, as the Herald towed her
from Madeira to Rio, a distance of 5,000 miles, in conse-
' (pence of her not being able to sail, and having an insuf-
ficient supply of coals for steaming. She left Simon's
Bay the day after the Herald, but did not reach St.
Paul's 'until 10 days later, and sailed thence for King
George's Sound, from which place she is probably now
on her way to Melbourne. The Herald spoke the Rose-
bud on the 20th of January, off St. Paul's, bound to
Melbourne ; also the ship Alexander, from Mauritius,
