NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

NAVAL AIDE•DE-CAMP TO THE QUEEN.
We have great ph asure in a:lnonneing that the
Queen, on the nomination of the Admiral bus ap-
pointed Csptain the Hon. Henry Juhn Rouc, to be
one of the naval aides decamp to her Majesty, vice
Berkeley, promoted.
" The Hon. Henry John Pious, born January 23,
1795, is second son of John, first Earl of Stradbroke,
by his second wife, Charlotte Maria, daughter of
Abraham Whittaker, Esq , and brother and heir pre-
sumptive of the present peer. His half-sister (his
father's only child by his first marriage) is the widow
of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, G.C.8.,
G.C. M. G.

" This officer entered the navy January 28,' 1808,
as first- class volunteer, on board the Royal William,
Captain the Hon. Courtenay Boyle, flag-ship of Sir
Gorge Montagu, at Portsmouth. In February, 1809,
he removed to the Repulse, 74, Captain the Hon.
Arthur Kaye Legge ; and in the following Novem-
ber, after having attended the exhibition to Flushing,
he became midshipman of the Victory, 100, bearing
the flag of Sir James Sautnarez, in. the Baltic. He
joined next, in March, 1811, the Tonnant, 80, Capt.
Sir John Gore, employed off Lisbon and in the
Channel; and from December 26, in the same year,
until promoted, May 18, 1814, to the rank of lieute-
nant, he served on the Mediterranean station in
the Bacchante, 38, commanded by the late Sir
William Hoste. On the night of August 31st, 1812,
he assisted in the boats under Lieutenant Donat
flenchy O'Brien, at the cutting out from the port of
Lema of seven vessels laden with ship timber for the
Venetian Government, together with La Tissiphone,
French national xebec, of one 6-pounder, two 3-
pounders, and 28 men, one gun-boat, with a 9-
pounder, two &pounders, and 24 men, and another of
one 9-pounder and 20 men, intended fbr the protection
of the trade on the coast of Istria, from Pola to
Trieste. He next, Jan. 6, 1813, united in a successful
attack made by the boats of the Bacchante and Weasel
sloops, on five of the enemy's gun-vessels, in the
neighbourheod of Otranto ; on May 15 following he
assisted at the capture and destruction of the castle
and batteries of Karlebago, mounting two long 12-
pounders, and two brass s's ; and on June 12 in the
same year he commanded the Bacchante's yawl, and
was highly spoken of for his conduct at the capture
from under the town of Gela Nova, on the coast of
Abruzzo, of seven large gun-boats, mounting each
one long 18-pounder in the how, three smaller gun-
vessels with a 4-pounder in the bow, and fourteen sail
of merchantmen, four of which also had guns in their
bow. The British, as they advanced, were exposed to
a heavy fire of grape and musketry ; and it was
not until they were fairly alongside the gun-boats that
the crews of the latter slackened their fire ; they
were then driven from their vessels with great loss.
The shore astern of the assailed was at the commence-
ment lined with 100 troops, who, however, fled on the
first fire, leaving behind them two field pieces, which
were destroyed by the marines under Lieutenant
Ilaig. In performing this brilliant exploit the boats
of the Bacchante sustained a loss of 2 seamen and 1

marine killed, and 5 seamen and 1 marine wounded.
In the ensuing night one of the merchant-vessels,
laden with oil, of which Mr. Rous had been placed in
charge, filled and upset, but did not, owing to the
buoyancy of her cargo, go down. Although the
wind was blowing strong, her commander and his
prize crew were providentially enabled to hang on by
the starboard gunwale from midnight until four A.M.,
when to their joy they were discovered and picked
up by the sternmost vessel of the convoy, in charge
of Hon. Mr. Waldek.3.rave, and under a press of sail
for Lissa. In 1813-14, Mr. Roils was concerned
in the operations connected with the capture of
Rovigno, on the coast of Istria, the island of Le-
sina, and the strong fortresses of Cattaro and Ragusa.
His appointments, immediately susequent to his
promotion, were—August2 4, 1814, to the Mmander,
38, Captain John Bastard, with whom he served off
. .

Lisbon and in the Mediterranean until December,

1405 ; January 10, 1817, to the Conqueror, 74, flag-
ship of Rear-Admiral Robert Plampin at St. Helena ;
and August 2 following, to the acting command on
the same station, of the Podargus, 14. From that
sloop, to which he was confirmed November 26, 1817,
Captain Rous removed, January 25, 1818, to the
Mosquito. In the summer of 1819, he returned to
England, and was paid off. His next appointments
were, November 26, 1821, and February 9, 1822, to
the Sappho, 18, and Hind, 20, on the Cork and
Mediterranean stations; he attained post rank, April
25, 1823 ; and he afterwards, from July 30, 1825,
until August 25, 1829, and from November 17, 1834,
until the close of 1835, commanded the Rainbow, 28,
and Pique, 36. In the former of those ships he visited
the Last Indies, and discovered a river (to which he
gave the name of Richmond) to the northward of
Sydney, in New South Wales. The Pique, while he
was in her, ran ashore on the coast of Labrador, was
got off with great difficulty, and crossed the Atlantic
without a rudder. In 1846, Captain nous filled a
seat at the Board of Admiralty. He had previously
represented Westminster in Parliament"— O'Byrne s
Biography.
Commander Edmund M. Lyons, who was promoted
in November, 1846, for his gallant conduct against
the pirates, when belonging to the Siren, in the Me-
diterranean, and who has since commanded the Pilot,
12, in the China seas, and has by his indefatigability,
skill, sagacity, and gallantry, performed eminent
service in suppressing piracy in the China seas, has
been promoted to the rank of captain. He is second
and youngest son of Captain Sir Edmund Lyons,
Bart.

Surgeon—John Andrews (a) (a), to be surgeon-
superintendent of the Eliza, convict-sloop.
Assistant-Surgeons—John Rorie, acting, to the
Impregnable, flag-ship at Devonport ; and James
Johnstone, acting, to the Victory, flag-ship at Ports-
mouth.
The Trident, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander
Risk, arrived at Devonport on Sunday, with newly-
raised men, from Liverpool.
The Shearwater, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander
Tumour, was taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport,
on Friday ; had her copper cleaned, and taken out on
Saturday, when the Penguin was taken in the same
tide.
The death of Captain Francis Erskine Loch, R.N.
(1814), Naval Aide ale-Camp to her Majesty, is
reported here this afternoon. Captain Loch entered
the navy on the Ist of September, 1799. When
commanding the Sparrow brig he was actively em-
ployed at the siege of San Sebastian, and in 1814
sustained a partial action with the French frigates
Sultane and Etoile, which were afterwards taken by
the Hebrus and Hannibal. He commanded the Eden,
26-gun frigate, in the expedition under Sir Francis
Augustus Collier, against the pirates at Has al
Khyma, in the Persian Gulf. Ile commanded her
Majesty's ship Hastings, 74, and took the Earl of
Durham to Quebec, and subsequently her Majesty
Queen Adelaide for the Mediterranean. On the 19th
of September, 1839, he was appointed to the Victory,
then ordinary guard-ship in this harbour. He was
afterwards superintendent of quarantine at Stangate
Creek in the Medway, until that station was broken
up. He was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen
on the 4th May, 1847.
PORTMOUTH, Nov. S.—THE SHARKIE STEAM
FRIGATE IN EGYPT.—The estimation in which this
splendid ship was held in England has met with its
reverse in Egypt. It appears, by a letter from a naval
officer at Alexandria, that the ship has been repre-
sented to Abbas Pasha as being both slow and weak
in construction, us well as subject to many other
faults; and hence a vessel which was the object of
general admiration in this country is a despised and
neglected one there. The speed this ship attained in
England and on her passage out is a proof that one
part of the complaint is untrue; no other steam-frigate
has worked the screw with so great success. 'fhe
judgment of those who were most competent to form
an opinion of the sufficiency of her general strength
is quite at variance with that expressed of her in
Egypt. And even since her arrival at Alexandria
she has given proof that both the imputations are
untrue, for she has had to put her power of speed to
the test, and has been subject to such an unfair distri-
bution of immense weight as no English officer would
venture to try his ship by—more than 4,500 large shot
and shell were taken on board, and put upon the
main-deck ( !), and a conaiderable number of heavy
guns upon the upper deck, to depress the ship in the
water for the purpose of trying her speed. In the
trial then made with steam alone the greatest speed
in running free was 10.6 knots, and against a stiff
breeze it was B'7 knots an hour. The complaints
made against the ship appear a mere pretext to
discredit Mohammed Bey with the present ruler of
Egypt. His position has long been a source of envy
to foreigners, who deemed him their rival in reputa-
tion and emolument, but who never could effectually
impugn him before the late venerable Viceroy. It is
to be hoped Abbas Pacha will yet see through the
artifice, and visit with his displeasure those who
most deserve it.
The Lily and Fantome brigs were taken into the
dock vacated by the Actaeon, 26, this morning, to be
brought forward for commission.
The Leander, '5O, Captain S. C. Dacres, dropped
down the harbour, to be swung for the adjustment of
her compasses to-day.
The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, put back this
afternoon and brought up at St. Helen's.
The Bishop of Hong-Kong and suite arrived this
afternoon, and put up at the Quebec Hotel, the
weather preventing their embarkation in the Sir
George Pollock. •
Wind westerly, fresh gala, and squally weather.
WooLwlcu, Nov. s.—The Styxsteam-sloop is to
be taken out of the basin to day, and is under orders
to proceed on Thursday next to Devonport, in charge
of Lieutenant Robertson, of Captain Austin's depart-
ment. She is to remain at Devonport ready for ser-
vice on the shortest notice.
