NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 22.—The Lightning steam-
tender arrived this morning from Devonport, and
sailed this evening for 'Woolwich.
The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, was undocked
toAay, and the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey,
taken in to have her copper cleaned. She is very for-
ward in her equipment.
The Russian frigate Pallas, Commodore Nordin:in,
saluted the national flag and the Port Admiral, having
inquired previously whether such a compliment would
be returned with a similar number of guns.
THE WEST INDIA SQUADRON.
The Plumper screw sloop, 11, Commander Nolloth,
arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 11th of July,
complete in all respects, and ready for any other
erivice at once. Mr. Grant's improved cooking and
listilling apparatus yields her crew (110) a gallon of
resh water per day per man without extending any
uel beyond that required for cooking. The squadron
yap thus distributed at the above date :
dmiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.O 8., in the
V llesley, 72, at Halifax, expected in ;Jamaica in
ft e ember or October next.
"he Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, and the
67#en steam-sloop, Commander Jenner, were with
dm, or employed under him, in that part of the
tation.
The Sappho, 16, Commander Michell, was at
ireia Cruz, and occasionally elsewhe!e in the Gulf.
The Plumper was to sail on the 17th of July for
sevOal of the ports of St. Domingo, to protect
British Interests, the black republicans being in a very
unsettled state. The French and the Spanish creoles
are at variance, each party wanting a man of their
own beautiful colour as President.
The Viper is at Barbadoes.
The Bermuda is in the Bay of Fundy.
The Helena, 16, Commander De Courcey ; Hound,
10, Commander Wood; and the Sappho, 16, Com-
mander Michell, were at Vera Cruz en the 15th
of July ; the only men•of-war at that part of the
station, which is so extensive. The Hound was pre-
' viously at St. Domingo, where a civil war was
going on. The Commander of the Sappho
had a narrow escape of his life on the 30 h
of June, on which day, as he was exer-
cising his crew at the great guns firing at a target at
sea 'after the men had fired several times, he laid one of
thelguus himself and fired it : the recoil of the gun
took one of the handspikes, and it flew againq hint
with great violence, knocking him down senseless and
breaking his left arm. On the Sappho arriving at
the llavannah the Captain-General of Cuba heard of
the Accident, and sent his aide-de-camp to proffer the
comforts and hospitalities of the place, but Captain
Michell could not leave his cot. Ha was, however,
doing well at the date of our advices.
The Helena, 16, Commander de Courcey, arrived
at Port Royal on the 15th of July, having left St.
Juan de Nicaragua on the 3d. Affairs there were in
a very unsettled state ; the bungeo roots, from which
the people derive their only supply of vegetables,
were stopped from going down the river, owing to
disturbances in the interior. On the 11th the
Helena called at Carthagena, but finding that cholera
was raging there to a fearful extent, no communica-
tion was held with the shore. 700 people had fallen
victims to the disease, chiefly of the lower orders.
The disease was on the decline. The Helena was
under orders to proceed to Montego Bay with a coin?
pany of the 3d West India Regiment ; she returns
immediately to Port Royal with the relieved de-
tachment.

The Imaum, 72, Commodore Bennett, was in har-
bour at Port Royal.

ITER MAJESTY'S ROUTE TO BALMORAL.—The route
by which the Queen has this season penetrated to
Strathdoo is one which was often travelled in the four-
teenth century by her ancestor, King Robert 11., many
of whose charters are dated in the bunting season at
Glenshee and Kindroghet. Another of her Majesty's
royal predecessors, King Edward 111. of England, wade
a still more memorable passage, in the same age, through
the same mountains—when, in his chivalrous expedition
to relieve the widowed Countess of Athol from her long
siege in the island fortress of Lochindorb, he rode in one
day through the savage defiles which lead from Athol
into Badenoch, a computed distance of 30 leagues, with
400 men at arms and as many light horsemen and archers
in his train.—Edinburgh Courant.
LORD JOHN RussELL.—Lord John Ru.ssellar
rived in Edinburgh last night by the Caledonian express
train. Fie immediately proceeded to Douglas' Hotel,
where apartments had previously been provided for his
Lordship. The Noble Lord, who is accompanied only
by his servant, was to start this morning by the first
train, per Edinburgh and Northern Hallway, for Perth,
and thence to post

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Take Holloway's Pills in
cases of Deranged Health or Impurity of the Blood.—This in-
estimable medicine is a superior remedy in all cases of determi-
nation of blood to the head, benumbed feeling in the limbs,
impaired health, impurity of the blood, drowsiness, swimming
in the head, disordered stomachs, loss of appetite, bad diges-
tion, and debilitated constitution ; the number of persons cured
of these affections by Holloway's Pills is incredible, and many
of them had been for a long time sufferers, and had failed to
get relief from medieine prescribed by the first doctors in the
profession. A steady course of these Pills will restore th•
most weakly to a vigorous state of health.—Sold by all Drug-
gists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand ,
