NAVAL INTt;LLIGENCE.

THE SQUADRON •F EXERCISE.—Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Napier's ships made Lisbon on the 4th. The
Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beau-
clerk, went in as avant courier en the 3cl. The St.
Vincent, 120, flag-ship, Captain Dacres ; the Prince
Regent, 90, Captain W. F. Martin ; the Powerful, 84,
Captain the Hon. Robert Dundas, C.B ; the Orestes, 14,
Commander Hawker ; the Reynard, 12, Commander
Cracroft; the Rifleman, 8, Commander Crofton, entered
the Tagus on the 4th, and the Plumper, 12, Commander
Nollath, on the Bth. The Harlequin, 16, was also in
the Tagus on the 9th.
The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Captain M'Cleverty,
was at Gibraltar on the 6th instant.

STEAM SQUADRON FOR DETONPORT.—The vessels or-
dered to form this squadron of advance steamers are the
following:----Conflict, 8 guns, 1,013 tons, 400-horse
power ; Virago, 6 guns, 1,060 tons, 300-horse power ;
Spitelul, 6 guns, 1,050 tons, 280-horse power; Growler,
6 guns, 1,059 tons, 280-horse power ; Salamander, 6
guns, 816 tons, 220-horse power; Rattler, 6 guns, 890
tons, 200-horse power; Jackal, 2 guns, 345 tons, 150-
horse power. A block-ship will also be appointed
for the Captain-Superintendent and the staff of the
squadron.

The Rapid, 6, Commander Dixon, will be paid off to-
morrow at Portsmouth; her crew is 75.
The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, has been stripped at•
Portsmouth, and is re-equipping very slowly. As the
caulkers were at work upon her sides, the latter part of
last week, some of her floor timbers were found to be
rotten!

Mr. Inch, paymaster and purser, is appointed secre-
tary to Commodore Fanshawe, and not to the ship, vice
Wiseman.

PRIVATE SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LORD OF THE
ADKIRALTY.-Mr. Baring, son of the First Lord, is put
up as the private secretary to the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, vice Captain Eden, who will most probably be
appointed to a ship. Captain Thomas Wren Carter, in
command of tho Caledonia, 120, at Plymouth, has also
been named as the probable recipient of the private se-
cretaryship, but having only had his ship twelve months,
we do not think he will vacate a two years' good cer-
tainty for most probably a short probation at the Ad-
miralty.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—MF. William Blake Lam-
bert, from the establishment of Maudsley and Co., is
appointed First-Assistant to Mr. Murray, Superinten-
dent-Engineer of this dockyard.
Mr. Taplin, millwright and machinist, goes to Wool-
wich, and Mr. Miller, from Devonport Dockyard, takes
the place of Mr. Taplin.
Orders have been received here to-day for the dispatch
of the Growler, Rattler, Jackal, and Salamander, ad-
vanced steam-sloops, manned by riggers, and escorted
by the Driver, to Devonport.
Wind S.S.W., moderate breezes and hazy weather,
with incessant rain.

DYSENTERY OR BOWEL COMPLAINT.—Those having
this complaint will find an almost unfailing remedy by
procuring a small piece of the root of genuine Turkey
rhubarb, and chewing a piece about the size of a cherry-
pip once oh 7 twice through the day. If a genuine article
is procured the remedy is almost sure in whatever stage
the disease I may be.

LAND.—Yesterday the British Association for the Relief
