NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, APRIL IG.—The Pantaloon, 10, Lieut.
Corry, arrived on Thursday from Cork, with 2G seamen,
entered for general service, and 19 for the Hercules. The
latter will be sent round to Chatham in the Emerald tender.
The Carron steam-vessel, Lieutenant Dow, brought from
the eastward on Monday 70 volunteers, who had entered
for ships at Portsmouth and Plymouth.
The line-of-battle ships fitting at Sheerness, this port,
and Plymouth, are making much quicker progress than was
anticipated, and though men enter more readily bath at
Plymouth and Sheerness, yet the ships here are picking. up
very good crews.' The Bellerophon has only been ten days
in commission, and she victuals to-day 351 men, marines
included. The Talavera and Hercules, it is understood,
will be at Spithead within three weeks.
The detachment of Royal Marine Artillery, consisting of
two officers (Lieutenants Castieau and Savage), two ser-
geants, two corporals, two bombardiers, and 4O gunners,
destined for the north coast of Spain, embarked on Thurs-
day on board the Carron steam-vessel, Lieutenant Dow,
and proceeded immediately to St. Andero ; they were in a
splendid state of efficiency and in high spirits, and as an in
of the earnest desire of their comrades to be em-
ployed on the same service, it may be stated that a sergeant,
who was not selected for this duty, offered another sergeant
20/. to exchange with him. The Carron, after taking this
detachment to St. Andero will proceed to the West Indies,
on which station she is to remain. An order was received
yesterday morning to hold in readiness, also for immediate
embarkation—it is presumed for a similar service—one
captain, one subaltern, two sergeants, one corporal, and
fifty privates of this division of Royal Marines, and one
subaltern, one sergeant, one corporal, one bombardier, and
twelve gunners of the Marine Artillery. The officers who
will accompany the former detachment are Captain Gorm-
ston and Lieutenant Stephens ; Lieutenant Parke will
be attached to the latter. They will embark on board
a steam-vessel, which is ordered from the eastward for that
purpose.
