NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.)
PORTSMOUTH, Jr LY 2.-The departure of the squadron
under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Corking
ton, G.C.8., will, we understand, take place on Wednes-
day. The Caledonia, Wellesley, Barham, Curacoa,
Pearl, were paid advanced wages yesterday, and the re-
mainder will be paid on Monday. His Majesty's ship
Stag, 46, Captain Sir Edward Troubridge, is hourly ex-
pected to join them from Plymouth. It is understood th,
squadron will have two trial cruizea, returning into port
after the first, which, we hear, will be very short; ti-
latter cruise will be for a much longer time. 'I he retw
home to the different ports may be looked for about the
middle of October. The fleet will call off Plymouth on
their way to their appointed rendezvous, to meet the Stag,
in case she should not arrive here before that time. Vice-

Admiral Sir Edward Cudrington made the general signal
yesterday afternoon to the squadron to prepare for sailing.
The Alban, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Davis, will accom-
pany the squadron. Several yachts will also accompany
them, ltd by the Royal Yacht Society's Falcon, Lord
Yarborough.
The Menelaus, Marquis of Hastings, and Marquis of
Huntley, have been taken up at Deptford for regular trans-
ports, according to the notice issued by the principal offs
cen; and Commissioners of his Majesty's Navy.
The Catherine Stewart Forbes, transport, Lieutenant
Gordon, agent, is arrived in the Downs on her way to
Plymouth, there to embark passengers for Gibraltar and
Malta.

A retirement has been granted to Mr. G. 'White, of the
Navy Pay-Office, at Chatham, after an honourable servi-
tude of upwards of twenty years.
Mr. Wade, Master Brewer of the Royal Clarence Vic-
tualling Yard, Weovil, has been superannuated after a
faithful stewardship of forty years in his Majesty's service.
Lieutenant White, R.N., Las been removed from the
Atherfield station, in the Isle of Wight, to the coast of
Ireland. The former situation is now occupied by Lieu-
tenant Knight, R.N.
Lieutenant F. Ruddy', late senior Lieutenant of his Ma.
jesty's ship Medina, and formerly of his Maj-sty's ship
Victory, has been struck off the list of naval officers by
order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in
consequence of a representation from Commander Castle,
respecting his conduct on board that ship on the coast of
Africa.

A Court of Enquiry has been held on Captain Slaugh-
ter, of the Coast Guard at Dartmouth, on certain charges
preferred against him by Lieutenant Godfrey, of the Royal
Navy. The Court have fully acquitted Captain Slaughter,
and Lieuten,int Godfrey has quitted the Coast Guard
Service.

It is said that Copt i n Lord James Townshend is likely
to be appointed Commodore fur the South American and
Cape of Good Hope stations, which are to be combined
under the command of Rear-Admiral Baker, C.B.

Lord Yarborough, as Commodore of the Royal Yacht
Club, has given two splendid entertainments on board his
yacht during the week, which were attended by Vice-Ad-
miral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., Rear-Admiral Sir
W. Parker, and a great number of other Naval Officer., as
Ivelhas by all the rank and fashion in the neighbourhood.
His Lordship's yacht, with his broad pendant flying, is at
anchor at Spithead, as is also the Campedora. During
the week he has been visited by a large number of the
yachts belonging to the Club, among them we noticed the
Arundel, his Grace the Duke of Norfolk; the Flower of
Yarra, his Grace the Duke of Buceleugh ; Gem, Nenba,
Julia, Osprey, Zebra, Ilebe, Nelson, Lady of the Lake,
Undaunted, Red Rover, &c. There are also a number of
yachts in harbour fitting, and we are happy to say that
this port is fast gaining an ascendancy as a general ren-
dezvous for the Club ; the facilities to be obtained here
being so decidedly superior to all other ports in the neigh-
bourhood.

Amongst the variety of purposes to which steam-vessels
may be usefully applied, nautical surveying may be num-
bered ; and so strikingly have the advantages, in rapid
tides and intricate navigations, been demonstrated by the
adoption of so powerful an auxiliary in this interesting
science, that the Lords of the Admiralty have appointed
one for the use of Lieutenant Denham, R.N., who is now
surveying the Bristol Channel. We sincerely congratulate
the public on this spirited espousal of so important a work,
and we are glad to find that this indefatigable officer and'
his assistant, Lieutenant C. G. Rubinson, are provided
with means someway proportionate to their vigour and
ability. At the close of 1830, Lieutenant Denham com-
pleted the north shore up to St. David's Head, including
Milford Haven, and the extensive estuaries peculiar to that
coast, such as the Burry, Towy, &c. lie is now occu-
pied between the Mumbles, Cardiff, and Bridgewater,
whereby the situation at those fatal sand banks, the Scare-
weathers, Nash, and Culvers, will be soon developed, to
the advantage of the vast commercial and navigable inte-
rests frequenting that extensive channel, especially with
the contemplated light-houses on Nash Point. Those
who are aware of the impetuous rate and unusual rise of
tides (varying from 30 to 60 feet) in the Bristol Channel,
will best appreciate the difficulties to be overcome by these
highly-talented and useful officers, and heartily wish them
success in every way.
At Spithead—Caledonia, Prince Regent, Revenge,
Donegal, Wellesley, Asia, Talavera, Alfred, Barham,
Curacoa, Volage, Pearl, and Sylvia cutter,
In Ilarbour—Spartiate, Winchester, Royal George,
Rattlesnake, Samarang, Tweed, Victor, Charybdis, Cu-
lumbia and Alban, steamers.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's
ship Talbot, dated Mauritius, Feb. 10, 1831 :._Soon
after
the Tweed sailed for England, the Badger brig arrived at
Simon's Bay from the Isle of France, with orders for the
Tweed, (in the event of the Talbot not having arrived) to
proceed forthwith to join the Commodore, there being a
little disturbance amongst the French, in consequence of
some alterations respecting the Slave Laws, which were
not agreeable to thoseparticularly concerned. The
orders were so peremptory, that not a moment was to be
lost, notwithstanding the state the Talbot was in, with all
her sails on shore at the Dock-yard, rigging, &c., her
water all started for cleaning out the tanks, her yards and
l
masts down. The ship

His Majesty's gun trig Brisk, 10, Lieut. Butterfiel,l,
sailed o❑ Sunday for the north of Scotland, to enforce the
late quarantine regulations, and to communicate with all
ships and vessels arriving from ports in the Baltic, in order-
if possible, to prevent the introduction of that dreadful
scourge, cho'era morbus, into this country_ The Hyperion
Sybille, and Sallette, frigates, are now being jury-rig( d
at this port with all dispatch, to proceed to the north a-
temporary lazarettes.
His Majesty's whip Briton, 46, Capt. Markland, C. 13.
was paid wages o❑ Friday, and sailed yesterday for Lisbo❑
to relieve his Majesty's ship Ariadne, 28, Capt. Phillips,
which ship will return home. The lady of W. Hoppner,
F.sq. his Majesty's Consul General at Lisbon, and
Lieutenant Kynaston Corbett, to rejoin the Ariadne, went
out as passengers.
We have great pleasure in stating that his Majesty has
been gracious y pleased to permit the Victualling Depart-
ment at Weovil, to be named from the titst of July inst.

VENING, JULY 5, 1831.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 4.
TURTON'S DIVORCE BILL.
CounsA were heard and witnesses examined on thi.
Bill, but nothing new was elicited, and the further hearin
of the case was adjourned to this day fortnight.
Lord AUCKLAND laid some papers on their Lord
ships' table relating to cholera morbus.
The Earl of lIAREWOOD claimed their Lordships' in-
dulgence for a short time while he brought under their no-
tice a matter somewhat personal to himself—he ha,
further to claim their indulgence, as he aid not
man to conclude with a motion, but in hi,
opinion he was entitled to some explanation from tin
Noble Lord. The circumstance of which he had to cone
plain was this. In July last a Magistrate of the counts
„f York, of which he (Lord Ilarewood) was Lori'
Lieutenant, was indicted for perjury, and while tilt
811 was before the Grand Jury he wrote a letter to au
foreman of that jury, which he (Lord H.) considered a
most improper one, and it was laid before his Majesty's late
Government. When the next commission for that counts
was issued, that Magistrate's name was properly left out.
To his astonishment he was applied to assist in restorint
him to office, which he refused ; and to his still further
astonishment, or. the 27th June last, he was restored to
the Commission of the Peace, without he (Lord H.)
having any intimation on the subject. This was the
circumstance to which he hail to call their Lordships'
attention, and to which he expected an answer from
the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. He
had felt that the present was the only course he could
pursue under the circumstances, not only for himself but
for every Lord Lieutenant, and even for the office itself.
The only question which be would put to the Noble Lord
was, what were his public reasons for having passed him
over in the office which lie held? lie acknowledged that
he had the right, if he pleased, but it had been unusual
to follow such a course. The Noble and Learned Lord had
occasion to speak to him the other day on this subject,
and in that conversation the Noble and Learned Lord
seemed to think that the indictment for perjury, which bad
failed, was the only thing against the individual. He at
once applied to the late Lord Chancellor, and got from
him, as far as his Lordship's recollection went, a copy of a
letter which he had written to the Noble and Learned
Lord now upon the Woolsack, which letter made distinct
mention of the individual's letter to the Grand Jury,
forming one of the grounds of his name being left out of
the commission. It was not usual, he believed, and cer-
tainly he had never experienced it before, for a Lord
Lieutenant to be so passed over, and lie begged their Lord-
ships to consider what the situation was in which he should
find himself placed if he were asked in the county "Why
did you appoint such and such a person?" He must reply
to such a question " I did not appoint him." " Why.
then, who did ?" would be the next question ; and lie
must answer "It was the Lord Chancellor." Nor would
questioning stop here. It would be said to him 46 But did
not the Lord Chancellor communicate or consult with you
upon the subject ; and if not, is this treatment which you
intend to put up with ?" Now these were questions which
it would not be very agreeable to answer.—(Hear, hear.)
He could assure their Lordships that he had never inter-
fered, either to have this person displaced or restored ; and
he therefore felt himself in a condition to put this case be-
fore the public in the only way in which it was possible
for him to protect himself against an imputation which he
should be very sorry to labour under, and which he did
not deserve.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he could very
easily answer the Noble Lord when the Noble Lord asked
what there was in him (Lord Harewood), or in his high
office, which could lead him (the Lord Chancellor) to
treat hint (Lord Harewood)—he would not say with dis-
respect, but—with any thing bordering upon, or ap-
proaching, or looking towards disrespect. His hearty,
frank, and conscientious answer was this—" Nothing."
Never, to that Noble Lord individually, nor to the office
which the Noble Lord held, had he been inclined to show
any thing but that respect which the conduct of the
Noble Lord and the nature of the Noble Lord's office
challenged from him. But he would not rest there, he
would not content himself with saying this to the Noble
Lord personally—with saying this about the office which
that Noble Lord filled. He appealed most confidently to
every one of their Lordships who were Lords-Lieutenant,
and begged them to say whether, in their intercourse
with him, it was possible for any Keeper of the Great
Seal to have shown a more entire and implicit deference
to their office, or to their opinions is to what persons
should be inserted in, and what persons excluded from,
the Commission of the Peace.—(Hear, hear.) He was
very much understating the fact when he said that in
every week since he had come into office, he had had
very many applications, some of them most urgent appli-
cations, to insert the names of particul tr gentlemen in the
Commissions. His answer had been one and the same to
all, and that answer was, " Go to the Lord-Lieutenant ; if
he recommends you, that shall be a law to me; I never
will insert or exclude any without the recommendation of
the Lord-Lieutenant, for he is the responsible adviser of
the Great Seal, and has local knowledge, which I have not.
(Hear.) Nay, in inany cases in which he was free to
confess that he thought the Lord-Lieutenant had been
wrong, as in the ease of two Magistrates in a disturb-
ed district ; and in another ease, where the recommenda-
tions were of the strongest, the highest, the most respect-
able character,—even in such cases he had refused the ap-
plications that had been made to him. He hail offended
some of his most intimate connexions by this course of
proceeding; and he had been even remonstrated with,
and told that it was at once his right and his duty to
grant applications, of the propriety of which he had no
doubt, in spite of the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant's
recommendation. His answer had been uniform and in-
flexible, and he had told their Lordships what that answer
was. He at that moment saw a Noble Lord before him
(the Lord-Lieutenant of a county)to whom he had yielded,
and inserted that Noble Lord's man, giving up his own,
though he was of opinion that the application of the latter
ought to have been attended to. And he would now put
it to their Lordships whether there Lad been any devia-
tion on his part front that course in the case of 111 r. Storks,
for Mr. Storks was the gentleman to whom the Noble
Lord had alluded. Certainly, according to the Noble
Lord's statement, there had been such deviation ; but
• then the Noble Lord had, unintentionally no doubt,
omitted some very material facts of the case. Now in
1807 Mr. Storks was in the commission; in 1820, Mr.
S.otks was put in the commission again upon the demise
of the Crown, being then recommended by the Noble Earl.
_—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Storks centinued in the commis-
sion, and continued to act as a Magistrate until IS3O.
On the accession of his present Majesty, there was a new
commission ; and the Noble Earl bad forgotten to state
that be (the Noble Earl) had again caused Mr. Michael
Storks's name to be inserted in that commission also.
The Earl of HAREWOOD made an observation, which
r;as not heard.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he must not be
interrupted. He had allowed this very irregular discus-
sion to take place—he had allowed it—for he might have
stood upon his right—he might have told the Noble Earl
to impeach him, if he pleased ; or he might have taken
advantage of the order of proceeding in that House, and
forced the Noble Earl to give a formal notice of this dis-
cussion.—( Hear, hear.) He would venture to say, that
this was the first time a Keeper of the Great Seal had
been put upon his trial for the improper discharge of a
very delicate duty, by virtue of a polite note received from
the Noble Earl, with the Noble Earl's compliments ; and
without any notice to their Lordships generally, though
with very ample notice to some of their Lordships, as he
could perceive by the full attendance in a certain quarter.
(Hear, and a laugh.) He only mentioned these cir-
cumstances in passing, and should not have alluded to
them but fur the interruption of the Noble Earl, whom,
however, he begged it to be recollected, he had not inter-
rupted while in the course of addressing their Lordships.
lie did not complain of this question being put to him;
it was a very fit question to be asked, and a very fit one to be
answered, which, with tho permission of their Lordships
and the Noble Earl, he would now proceed to do. From
the facts he had already stated, their Lordships would
see that he bad the recommendation of the Lord-
Lieutenant in faour of Michael Storks, as late as
last July or August.—( Hear, hear.) And what bad
taken place since that time ? Why, Mr. Storks having
been Put on his trial for perjury, the name of that gentle-
man was left out of the Commission by his Noble Friend
and predecessor in office. No doubt this was very proper,
notwithstanding the recommendation of the Lord-Lieu-
tenant. He had, however; since inserted the nasuc of
