NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE COMMAND OF THE BALTIC FLEET.

Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., just promoted from cap-
tain of the Excellent, gunnery-ship, has been appointed
to a command of a division of the fleet intended for the
Baltic.

The gallant admiral is a fortunate officer. He ob-
tained the honour of the storming of the forts at the
Isle of Bourbon, where his senior lieutenant, Norman,
was killed ; he obtained the honour of fighting the Java,
when she was taken by the Constitution, on account of
his captain (Lambert) having Leen killed by almost the
last shot ; and he also obtained the honour of the vic-
tories in the Irrawaddy, at the first Burmese war, the
senior in command, Captain Alexander, who concluded
the war, having died of fever a few days after he had
signed the treaty. We have no doubt that Rear-
Admiral Chads' experience will be of great service to the
commander-in-chief.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 6.
The Illustrious, 72, training ship, Captain Robert
Harris, is shipping her guns alongside the dockyard.
The Hecla, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Master-Commander
Peter Wellington, having had her copper examined, and
all being found right, was undocked this morning, and
will go out of the steam-factory basin this evening, to
be victualled and stored for the North Sea service, al-
ready specified. We stated, in announcing Mr. Wel-
lington's appointment, that he had been employed in
China and on the coast of Syria. This has brought us
letters from Masters, who construed that information
into stating that Mr. Wellington had been employed to
survey those waters. The error is theirs—not ours.
The Cyclops, paddlewheel steam-transport, Master-
Commander Robert W. Roberts, arrived at Spithead
this morning from the eastward, en route to the Medi-
terranean station, with Royal Artillery, &c., on board.
Her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy, Mr. D. N. Welch,
master, R.N., was removed out of No. 6 dock this
afternoon, and placed in the steam basin to prosecute
her refit.
The Sprightly steam-tender, Mr. George Allen, Act-
ing Master, commanding, left this morning with a large
number of volunteers and supernumeraries for the ships
fitting at the eastward.
At Spithead.—The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville ;
Juno, 26, Captain Fremantle ; Leopard (paddle), 18,
Captain George Giffard ; Frolic, 16, Captain Nolloth ;
and Cyclops, Master Commander Roberts ; the Edin-
burgh, 58, Captain Hewlett ; and Hogue, 58, Captain
Ramsay, are hourly expected up from Plymouth.
CALLING OUT THE COASTGUARD.—An order has been
promulgated here to-day that one half of the number of
men employed in the coastguard shall be immediately
draughted for service on board ship. This will at once
enable many ships to fill up their crews with the finest
seamen (already trained by Captain Jerningham to great
gunnery and man-of-war exercises) they could have.
There are about 2,800 of these able-bodied, hardy, and
trusty coastguardmen fit for service afloat, and of them-
selves at once a nucleus for a fine fleet's crew. _

THE COAST VOLUNTEERS.—Captain Peter Fisher
concluded his enrolment at this port of men for the Royal
Naval Coast Volunteers this afternoon at the Sailors'
Home, Portsea. Forty is the number of men he has
entered, but he might have enrolled 200 more, had he
accepted all who came forward. Those rejected were
considered unsuitable candidates from various causes.

mouth division.
An order was received at Woolwich Dockyard to-
day, announcing that the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty had placed in the hands of Mr. Wilkinson, of
Pall-mall, the arrangements for the new clothing of the
officers and men of the dockyard brigade here. The
uniforms are to be entirely altered ; the shako is to be
superseded by the Prussian helmet ; the companies are
to be 100 strong, and have one captain and two subal-
terns to each. The age of non-commissioned officers
must not be under 20 or above 45, inclusive.
An inspection took place last week of the guns and
gun-carriages used by the dockyard brigade, when
several were condemned, and they were sent down to
the Royal Arsenal to-day, that others in every respect
efficient might be supplied in their place.
The Violet, Dover mail • steam-packet, is ordered
round to Woolwich.
