NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Eurydice, 26, Cap-
tain 'Anson, arrived at Spithead this day, at noon, from
the Cape of Good Hope station.' She put in Ply-
mouth Sound on Friday night, and landed mails, and
sailed thence for this port at three . P.M. yesterday.
She sailed from Mauritius on-the 18th of September,
where affairs were impr6viete, and the price of sugar
was advancing. The French frigate Artemise, 26,
lay there undergoing extensive repairs. She left the
Cape on the 12th of October, leaving in the Bay the
Castor, 36, Commander Wyvill ; the Neptune con-
vict ship, with half her prisoners quarterel on board
the Seringapatam depot ship ; and the Geyser, steam-
''eloop, Commander Browne. • Dr. Dees, Superin-
tendent of the Neptune convict ship (whose illness
we reported on the arrival of the last acivices)e ched
in hospital at Simon's Bay just before the Eurydice
sailed. Dr. Gibson, of the .Eurydice, was appointed
by the Commodore to the charge of the Neptune;
Assistant-Surgeon King, of the Eurydice, being pro-
moted to the vacancy ofmr. Gibson. Dr. Munro, of
theCastor,h
is also dead, and Assistant-Surgeon Elliott,
of that ship, promoted to _ the vacancy. The Dee
steam troop
Lieutenant Commander Crowder
(acting), was in the Mozambique looking for slaves.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, sailed from
Simon's Bay for the Mezunbique on a similar expe-
dition, on the 4th. "of October. The Cleopatra, 26,
Captain Massie, from England and Rio, had net put
in at the Cape. '
The Eurydice put in at St. llelena on the 24th of
October, and found there three prizes—one to the
Centaur steam-frigate, one to the Cyclops and Rattler,
and one to the Se:shale whose prize officers (Mr. Small:.
pay, of the Rattler, mite; Mr. Stewart, midshipman
of the same vessel; and Mr. Simpson, midshipman a 4
the Cyclops) .and crew she gave passage to Ascension„
which she left on the 31st of October, at which date
Commodore Fanshawe was at the island in the Cen-
taur steam-frigate. The Tortoise gusrdship, Captain
Hutton, was &so there. The Flying Fish, 12, Com-
mander Patey, arrived at Ascension from England
and Sierra Loewe on the evening of the 30th of Oc-
tober. The Coast of Africa squadron was all healthy.
The Eurydice has brought home a freight on Govern
merit account amounting to 8,0001. sterling, in small
coin, principally " tokens " from the Mauritius, and
the following officers :—Lieutenant A. W. Palmer,
sth Fusiliers, from the Mauritius ; Lieutenants
Thompson, Shuldham, Gore, and Elkington, of the
6ch Royal Regiment of Feat, from the Cape. Mr.
Wynniett, mate of .her Majesty's ship Dolphin, left
behind at Ascension when that vessel left for England,
has also come home in the Eurydice. The City
of Poonah Indianian sailed from the Cape for
England, we are informed, 36 hours before the Eury-
dice, which latter is ordered into the harbour to be
paid off. Affairs at the Cape were becoming, if pos-
sible, more unsettled every day. A great meeting
was held at Cape Town on the day before the Eury-
dice sailed, at which some most sweeping resolutions
were passed. The " supplies " bad been granted to
the navy and army, but bad again been summarily
stopped. Sir Harry Smith was at Cape Town.
The Eurydice was commissioned in May, 1846, by
Captain Elliott, under whose command she joined the
experimental squadron. Captain Elliott was suc-
ceeded on the Bth of October, in the same year, by
her present commander, Captain Anson, under hom
she has been employed entirely at the Cape station.
It is to be regretted that in consequ9nce of disputes
on board a court-martial or court of inquiry will, in
all probability, be necessary on four or five of the
oung officers, unless they retire from the service.
At two o'clock this afternoon the frigate sailed for
Portsmouth.
ROYAL MARietas.—An exchange of divisions has
been sanctioned between the undermentioned officers:
—Captain T. D. Fosbrook, of the Woolwich division,
and Captain H. C. M. Hawkey, Plymouth division ;
First Lieutenant J. A. Stewart, Acting Paymaster to
the detachment at Pembroke-dock, to be Adjutant at
Woolwich, vice Foote, promoted; First Lieutenant
W. A. Gamer Wright, to be Paymaster at Pembroke,
vice Stewart.
PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, DEC I.—Her Majesty's
frigate Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera V. Anson,
came in lest evening, 49 days from the Cape of Good
Hope, having left there on the 12th of October. She
left St. Helena the 2311 of October, called at Ascension

rp TIE TEA. ESTABLISIIMENT.
II No. S, LUDGATE-HILT,. THE BEST—TETE CHEAPEST.
The question is often debated, Where is the best market to buy the
necessaries of ltfc ? among the more important • f which may be
enumerated tea, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as
is sure to be the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to
decide v. hat onstitutes cheapness.

•
Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and
price are very essential considerations. There exiSts great difficult,.
in judging i:s value by appearance, and families, to secure gool
qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why
should this be? The importations for several years have been re-
markably large, comprising unisually fine selections ; the markets
have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the ..dvantagea
arising therefrom.

Ourinvariabie custom Is to accommodate our prices pith the mar-
ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell excaedingly go
Black Tea at 3s. 4d. ; very superior at 3s. Bd. ; and very tull and
fine flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Mack Tea imported we are
charging only ss. per pound.
Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad-
vance in prices. We can confidently recommend good Coffee at
Is. 2d. ; very good at Is. 4d. ; and very choice at Is. Gd. ; and Is. Bd.
per pound for the finest.

We invite a comparison of our articles and prices.

gator for Chatham has been postponed for the present,

than it is at Chatham, and less liable to marine insects.
The Enterprise was taken into duck at Woolwich
to-day, to have her bottom examined, and the Inves-
tigator was taken into the basin preparatory to being
docked, and there is now no doubt of another expe-
dition being sect in search of Captain Sir John

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —An Ulcerated Arm cured by
Holloway's Ointment and Pill.—Mr. Ribert Gregg, jun., of
Clerkeeland, Cowes, Ireland, was sorely afflicted with a severe
gathering in his armpit, and which discharged very copiously
for nearly three years ; another wound also broke out in his
shoulder. His father felt alarmed, having consulted the most
eminent surgeons to no purpose, while his son continued to
waste away. At this juncture a friend advised a trial of Hol-
loway's Pills and Ointment, which was made, and in six weeks
they perfectly cured him. He is now getting fat and hale, the
sinews are restored to their wonted pliability and no discolora-
tion is visible.—Sold by all Druggists and Irofersor Holloway's
