DEATH OP THE Hori. T
regret to learn the demise of the
11. NIIGENT.--We Hon. Thomas Hugh Nu-
gent, son of the late Earl of Westmeath, by his second mar-
riage with Lady Elizabeth Moore, eldest daughter of Charles
first Marquis of Drogheda. The deceased was born in Sep-
tember, 18071 and Traa heir pre3umptive to the Marquis of
,Yreotuie4o4

NAVAL INI4LLIGENCE.
GIBnALTAn, JAN. 31.—Sir C. Nepier's squadron,
consisting of the 6t. -Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful,
Orestes, Plumper, ReynarJ, and Rill( man, anchored here
in the night of the 27th. The Oarlequin came in next
morning. and the Stromboli, with Mr. D. Hay, her
Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Tangier, came in in the
afternoon.
Thcy had an easterly gale off Cape St. Mary, when
the Plumper lost a man overboard and parted company,
but rejoined off the Straits. Prince Regent sprung main-
yard, got it down and fished it, when it was got up again;
she split her topsails on the same occasion. St. Vi' cent
also split some sails and had the lower boom washed
away. The Reynard lost a gather boat and stove her
bulwarks—it blew furiously tor 36 hours with a foam-
ing sea.
On the 20th, in a strong breeze, as much as the Plum-
per and Reynard could carry topgsllantsaits on a wind,
they tried rate for 16 miles, when Plumper beat, but not
to a great extent, as R.ynerd wished to claim the supe-
riority.

z--"t-c-

Rifleman took out seven tons of ballast before leaving
Lisbon, and appears better than hitherto; but is not a
vessel fit to accompany a squadron; in strong breezes
she is best, but being so low abaft, it would be impos-
sible for her to run in a sea.
The Harlequin has not done much yet; the Plumper
and Reynard are certainly equal, if not superior, to her.
She took a Spanish brig in tow, the Mariner, which
vessel had been run down by an English barque, from
which she had lost her foremast and maintopmast. The
Harlequin towed her into Cadiz, and came on here. .
The Plumper, Reynard, and Orestes had a trial of
sailing on a wind, carting all sail; rate, five to six miles
per hour. After four hours, Plumper beat dead to wind-
ward of Re) iard nearly two miles; Orestes beat to
windward of Reynard about one mile.
The Sidon and Polyphemus have hoisted the white
ensign, being under the orders of Sir C. Napier.
On the 29th the Sidon took Mr. Hay, Change, to
Tangier.
The Admiral inspected the Prince Regent yesterday,
and found her in a most efficient state.
The Sultan steamer came in last night, from Constan-
tinople, which vessel takes the mail to-day.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Superb, 80, Captain
E. Purcell, was taken into the basin this morning, prepa-
ratory to her being docked as soon as the Collingwood
can be removed.
The Racer, 16, Lieutenant-Commander H. Bacon,
sailed this evening, with supernumeraries, for Devouport.
The Sparrow surveying ketch was undocked to-day.
Wind, westerly; light airs and hazy weather.
WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—The Monkey steam-vessel,
Master-Commander Bryant, the Charon, and the
Zephyr steam- vessel, had their steam up to-day, and
were in readiness to tow the Black Prince, 72, to moor-
ings in the river, previous to her being taken nitwit to
Chatham, but the tide did not rise high enough to allow
of her being taken out of the basin to-day.
Fifty boiler-makers in the factory department have
received the usual notices, that after the present week
their services will not be required, in consequence of a
reduction of the number of men now employed having
been decided upon.
The average number of convicts who have berm em-
ployed at the dockyard for some time past has been nearly
400, and it is contemplated to increase the number to
550 ; as the Warrior convict ship has ample accommo-
dation for them.

THE TRADE WITH BARBARY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—l enclose the copy of a letter addressed to Ad-
miral Sir C. Napier by the merchants of this place, with
his reply thereto, and shall be obliged if you will insert

should be settled without resort to foree.—Your obedient
servant, A MERCHANT.
