SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The arrival of the packet
enables us to continue our details of the movements of
the above squadron :
" After the last dispatch, per Recruit (on the 4th
inst.), the squadron exercised shifting topsails and
courses. In this exercise the Queen was the
smartest, being first completed ; the others nearly
alike.

" Oct. 5 and 6.—Very wet weather. No move-
ments.

" Oct. 7.—At ten, a.m. the squadron unmoored
and hove short. At three, P.M., weighed,:with a
light breeze from the eastward. The packet from
Gibraltar arrived. The sO4dion consisted of the
St. Vincent (flag), Caledoniajtueen, Canopus, Ven-
geance, Trincomalee, Amplatrite, Sidon, Odin,
Avenger and Dragon steam-frigates. At 3.30, P.M.,
brought up on the starboard tack to a breeze from
the westward ; the Trincomalee was signalled to
take the lead ; the steamers, under sail only, beating
down the Tagus with the rest of the squadron—to a
shore spectator as magnificent a sight as any could
witness ; so fine a sight has not been seen in these
waters for many a day. At five, P.M., the squadron
had all anchored off the small town of Caxias, the
steamers taking up their berths in shore of the line-
of-battle ships.
" Bth.—This morning the squadron exercised firing
shot and shell at targets placed on the sandbanks on
the south side. At two P. M. the Vengeance, Amphi-
trite, and Trincomalee, sailed with the Canopus on
cruise, under the orders of Captain Moresby, of the
Canopus, to try rate of sailing—Amphitrite and Trin-
comalee especially. It is not known how long they
will remain out, but it is expected they will rejoin
the Admiral in five or six days. The shell practice
to-day from all ships has been very good.
" To-morrow (weather permitting) all the Marines
and small-arm men are to be landed for exercise and
grand field mancauvring, at which all the Portuguese
nobility are to be present.
" The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown,
sailed on the morning of the 7th for the Cape of G9od
Hope. A Spanish corvette sailed about the same
time."

The Helena, 16, was removed from dock this morn-
ing, and is again ready for commission.
The Orestes, 18, was docked in the room of the
Helena, to be repaired for re-commissioning.
The 2Eolus, 42, lately employed as a meal depot on
the coast of Scotland, was paid off yesterday.
CHATHAM, OCT. 13.—The Hermes, three guns,
steam-sloop, Commander E. W. Budge, came into
harbour yesterday afternoon to be paid off, having
been employed on the North American station and
West Indies. She was built at Portsmouth in 1835,
and is of 220-horse power.
The Bonetta brigantine in dock, fitting for sea, is
to have a complement of sixty- five men ; and the
Sealark, 10 guns, in dock, making good her defects
and fitting fur commission, is to have a complement of
eighty men.

Tice Diligence, naval transport, Martin master,
sails to-morrow for Portsmouth and Devonpo'rt Dock.
yards.
The Rochester, Sedgwick master, arrived on the
13th instant from Devonport, and sailed yesterday for
Sheerness.
Mr. John Garratt, master of the Dove barge, after
a servitude of fifty years, is superannuated on a pee'
sion of 361. per annum ; and William Springateg
sawyer, who some months since had the misfortuM to
break a leg in the execution of his duty, is super'
annuated on a pension of 201. per annum.

BURGLARY AT BOROUGH FEN, NEAR CRowL.OI37.
—Between one and two o'clock on Saturday morning
last, the dwelling-house of Mrs. Hilliam was entered b;
three ruffians. They obtained an entrance by taking
the pantry window, and proceeded up stairs to her be. 7,
' room door, which was locked and bolted. The nnlja,
made by forcing open the door awakened her grail
daughter, who was sleeping with Mrs. Hilliam

having gained entrance into the room, and having .

lighted candle and cudgels with them, began to pull S"n
clothes off the bed. The young woman screamed, whe

FIRE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—A fire occurred °0 „,0
Thursday, on the North Midland Railway, bette-h
Ambergate and Wingfield stations, to the train viii're
left London at a quarter-past six o'clock A.ai. The
was discovered by the engine-driver, the train belZ,
rather a long one, and the guard at the far end of ni
train. It was observed first after leaving the tu011!A
between Wingfield and Ambergate; had it happenv"
there, it is fearful to contemplate the result. As it Ass

the guard had great difficulty to get the passengersit,4
keep their seats, and by the time the train was stoPPog
the luggage on the roof of the carriage, which vcal .$
the second class, was all in flames, which were with gre,al
difficulty extinguished. The contents were nearlY,
destroyed; they consisted of newspapers and bookselle•
parcels—some of the books being very valuable.
