NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The chief object of the vi it of a Board of Admiralty
to Chatham, on Tuesday last, was to communicate to
Captain J• Urquhart, of the Royal Marines, that the
Queen had no further need of his services, this resolu-
Oion having been adopted by her air jesty on the pie po-
..sieien of the Board of Admiralty, and sanctioned by his
Grace the Command( r-iii Chief the Duke of Wellington.
Few of the particulars have transpired 'as to the real
offence committed by Captain Urquhart; but we have
heard that the ostensible allegation was " breach of
faith," We are qui,e as much in the dark as to the
manner in which the charge was proved or brought
home to the uelortumte theca ; 4 all events, we have
heard of no court-martial having taken place. Neither
have we been informed or the ?recise terms in which her
Majesty's intimation was conveyed to Captain Urquhart;
but it has been reported that the (Ilicers of the division
were assembled at the mess-ro)tn, and that the lion.

PORTSICOITTEI, MARCH B.—The Redney, 92, Captain
E. Cerher. C. 13., has hien paid (-1f to-day alongside the
dockyard jetty, the first line-of-battle ship which has
ever been paid off in that position. The resolution of
the Admiral Superintendent to do so has excited the ire
of certain parties who are in the habit of deriving a di-
rect benefit from the contrary course. There can be
very little doubt that it has prevented much plunder
being carried on, which would otherwise certainly have
occurred. On the whole, though it has been productive
of some inc ,nvenience by parties blocking up the gates
of the dockyard, it has been beneficial to the sailors, to
their relatives, and even to their just creditors, as there
was no egress for them but by ore Gullet, near which
every one having an interest in the matter could station
himself. The ship's marines were landed this morning
at Clarence yard, and marched to Forton Barracks. -•
The Janus steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Powell, is ordered to sail to-morrow for Gibraltar. She is to be z
paid advance before starting, and to call at Plymouth on
her way down channel.
Two serious accidents occurred yesterday morning in
the dockyard, one being a severe fracture of both bones of the leg, by the fall of a heavy piece of timber on a
man belonging to the staff of Mr. Peter Rolt, the Go-
vernment contractor; the other happened to Henry Swee-
ney, an intelligent man, one of the engine factory fitters,
who, whilst employed about the engines of the Urgent
steam-vssael, had his hand caught in the machinery,
which tore away and lacerated the whole of the soft
parts, besides injuring some of the small bones, leaving a
doubt whether the limb will have to be amputated. Both
sufferers received the promptest attention and skill from
the surgical officers of the dockyard.

THE RIVER PLATE.
LIVERPOOL, Trtuaspev.—By the arrival of the brig
Gauntlett, Captain Presly, we have received accounts
from Buenos Ayres to the 26th of December.
The Government of the Argentine Republic were
about to enforce a quarantine upon all vessels from
European ports infected will cholera.
The term fur th,, payment of the contribution directa
bad been extended to the 17th of January.
The BritiA Packet of the 23d of December says—
" The intarsive Government in Monte Video has re-
cently forwarded to the so-called assembly of notables
several drafts of decrees, one of which provides that so
long as the present siege of that city lasts, and for
year or two after, no property of any description can be
distrained for the payment of debts contracted previous
to the let of January, 1843; but when the debtor has
not sufficieet property to guarantee the payment of
his liabilities, the exception will not be allowed in his
favour."

There was little change to notice in commercial affairs
in Buenos Ayres, the demand for produce continuing
ligt.t, especially for horse hair, which had greatly fallen
in price. Hides were quoted at 43 to 50 for salted ox,
and 34 to 36 for salted cow. Horns, per thousand—ox
800, and c-w 250 to 300; wool, fine washed, 40 to 50.

hides; and 40s. to 425. 6d. for salted do.; tallow, 475. 6d.;

DEATH OF MR. SHERIFF WHIM:LAIC—We regret
to announce that Robert Whigham, Esq., advocate, and
sheriff of Perthshire, expired ut his residence in Great

disease of considerable standing, but it was only within

his professional duties. Mr. Whigham was appointed
to the Sheritldom of Perthshire in August, 1841, on
Adam Anderson, Ecq , receiving the office of Solicitor-
General, under the Ministry of Sir Robert Peel; the
Sheriffdom of Perth was one of those appointments that

motion.—Caledonian Mercury.
