The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Richard
Moorman, was paid advance wages yesterday, and
sailed this fornoon for Lisbon.

The Lightning steam-tender, Mr. Petley master,
was undocked yesterday afternoon, having had her
defects made good, and the Blenheim transport was
immediately docked in her stead.
The Comet steam-vessel, Commander Johnson,
was at Falmouth on Thursday, into which place she
was compelled to put, in consequence of the dredging
vessel she had in tow having sprung a leak, which
could not be got under with the pumps. 'This induced
Commander Johnson to bear up for Falmouth, where
the damage was repaired, and both vessels left for
Portpatrick on Friday morning, the wind steady at
south- west.

NAVAL LNTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. The Blenheim steam
guard-ship is commissioned at this port by Captain
Yates, late of the Victory. She will have a comple-
ment of five hundred, officers and men. The Blen-
heim was an old seventy-four, built at Deptford in
1813, by the then surveyors of the navy, and ss as of
1,747 tons. She has had her poop and upper works
cut down after the fashion of a flush-decked frigate,
a gigantic specimen of which class of vessel she now
appears, mounting on her upper deck two '56-
pounders, ten feet long, 88 cwt. each ; two 10-inch
beam guns on the quarter deck, ten feet long; two
56-pounders pointing forward, and two beam guns,
10-inch ; total on upper deck, eight, all on traversing
pivots. On the main deck she carries twenty-two
32-pounders, eight feet long, and from 42 cwt. to 45
cwt. each ; on the lower deck twenty-six 42-pounders,
9 feet 6 inches long, and 67 cwt. each. Grand total
armament fifty-six heavy long guns. Her launch is
stowed amid ships on the upper deck, and the barge
and pinnace on the gangways on either side of it,
leaving very good and clear gangways. The fore-
most guns point in a line with the keel, as do
the guns aft. The whole of the stern bul-
warks of the upper deck unship, so that the
guns may be traversed right round. Her booms
are very admirably stowed under the launch, leaving
clear room for the play of the guns and their gear. All
the officers, with the exception of the captain, first
lieutenant, master, captain of marines and chaplain,
are berthed on the cockpit. The after guns on the
lower deck work round the sweep of the stern by a
shifting pivot, and the bow guns on the main deck are
capable of being fired right ahead in line with the
keel, for which purpose four trucks are let into the
brackets, so as to admit of their being well pointed.
She has a telescope funnel, raised and lowered by a
winch. Her engines are of 450 horse-power, by
Seaward and Capel, of the direct action kind (hori-
zontal), averaging 45 revolutions per minute. Her
boilers are two tubular and two common. Her screw
is of 20 feet pitch with two blades, and is worked by
the engine directly, which obviates the necessity for
driving with a multiple wheel. The whole of her
machinery is below the water's edge. She stows
212 tons of coal in bunkers. She is rigged as a
frigate, having all wire rigging; her funnel is
placed between the main and mizen mast. The
coal bunkers occupy the space on each side of the
engine room from the after hatchway to the fore
part of the vessel (end of the boilers). • The dry
provision room is abaft in the orlop, and the spirit
room on the other side. The salt provision rooms are
on either side of the forehold amidships. She can
stow in the usual places dry provisions for six weeks ;
water, five weeks ; all for 500 men. She was tried
recently with all her sea-going weights in, and ballast
in lieu of her sea-going quantity of provisions and am-
munition. The cable tier and sail rooms ;are
between the boatswains' and carpenters' storerooms.
She is coaled on the lower deck through three ports
on each side by means of a shute, which is emptied
through corresponding incisions in the deck com-
municating with the bunkers; the same shites being
used for emptying the ashes out through the main
deck ports. The following is a strictly authentic de-
tail of the whole of her workings and performances,
under the command of Captain Horatio Austen, R.N.
the Government steam -ship Inspector, assisted by
Lieutenant Robertson, R.N., with Lieutenant Pon-
sonby, and Mr. Charles, master, of the Poictiers,
having a navigation party of only 247 hands, from
the ordinaries of Sheerness and Chatham, including
stokers and every available man, and twenty-eight
marines under Lieutenant Heastey :
Total distance run, 222 miles.
Number of hours under steam, at.
The total expenditure of fuel by the most careful
measurement has been 84f tons, being at the rate of
36 tons for 24 hours.
The maximum speed obtained with engines alone
in a royal breeze, free, the engines making 42
strokes, and the barometer 25k, was 6 6.10 knots.
The maximum speed obtained with engines alone
in a moderate royal breeze ahead, 5 5.10 knots.
The maximum speed obtained with engines and
sail in a single reef topsail, and topgallant breeze,
abeam, the engines making 46 revolutions, and the
barometer 24f, 8 5-10 knots.
The maximum speed with sail alone under the
same circumstances was 4 5-10 knots.
The maximum speed obtained with engines and
fore and aft sails in a moderate royal breeze, close
hauled, was 6 6.10 knots.
The maximum speed obtained with sail alone
under the same circumstances, 1 8.10 knots.
The mean time occupied turning a whole circle
ahead, 7f minutes ; ditto astern, 9 minutes.
Time occupied in reversing engines from full speed,
minutes.
Time elapsed from engines being ordered to be
reversed until ship went astern, 2 minutes.
Time occupied in getting the steam up from cold
fresh water, temperature 56 deg., 1 hour 16 minutes ;
ditto from cold salt water, temperature 62 deg., 1
hour 15 minutes. In getting up the steam when her
fires were banked up, from salt-water, temperature
140 deg., 45 minutes.
Time occupied in raising propeller—maximum, 25
minutes ; minimum, 15 minutes.
In lowering the propeller—maximum, 8 minutes;
minimum, 5f minutes.
In lowering the funnel, 10- minutes; in raising it,
8 minutes.
At the measured mile in Stoke's hay on Friday
she went at Gf knots.
The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant-Commanding W. T.
Rivers, sailed on Friday evening to cruise off the
coasts of Kent and Sussex for the protection of the
fishery.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Captain Fisher, left
yesterdsy for Woolwich to be paid off.
The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
manding E. F. Roberts, left last night for Woolwich.
It is understood that vessel's change of destination
has been caused by official representations of her un-
fitness for the service required, to tow an unwieldy
dredging-vessel to Holyhead. It is also said that
she is to be paid off, being unfit fur any purpose in
which she c.in be useful to the Government, and thus
does vessel after vessel prove the entire uselessness of
iron as a substitute for wood in shipbuilding for war
purposes.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
On Saturday George Phipps, a person acid to be a
saddler at Enfield, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged with having forged the name of
Thomas Rance, the executor to the property of a
deceased person, to a dividend warrant for money
payable at the Bank of England.
A gentleman from the offices of Messrs. Freshfield,
the solicitors to the Bank of England, attended for
the prosecution.
Mr. John Lewis, a clerk in the Dividend Warrant-
office of the Bank of England, said, on the 21st inst.
a dividend was claimed to be received by a person as
executor of a deceased person's account, standing in
the Bank in the name of Thomas Rance. It was the
October dividend. The person who thus applied
signed the book as the claimant in my presence, and
I attested the signature.
W. Rake, clerk in the Dividend Pay-office, said, on
the 21st inst. this warrant was presented to me for
payment, and I paid it in two 51. notes and 321. Os.lld.
in cash. The number and date of the notes were
" 36,681 and 36,682, Sept. 24." The note produced
by Mr. Freshfield's clerk is one of them.
Michael Wale, a man in the employment of James
Oliver, of No. 108, Bishopsgate-street Without, shoe-
maker, said, I have known the prisoner these eighteen
months. On the 21st instant, between five and six
o'clock, he called at our shop and had two pairs of
children's boots, for which he paid 6s. He paid at
the same time 6s. 3d. for a pair of men's boots, which
he had had on the previous Monday. He asked me
whether I could give him change for a 51. note. I
said I did not know, but I would see and I gave him
31. in gold and the rest in silver. I then took the
note, and asked his name and address, and he gave me
the name of " Wilson, Enfield." I wrote that name
and address on the note in the prisoner's presence.
He then went away. On the fhllowiag Friday I
paid the note to Mr. Oliver. I saw no other note
with the prisoner. lam quite sure of the identity of
the prisoner, and my handwriting is on the note.
Mr. Joseph Newton, a clerk in the Dividend War-
rant-office, said—l do not know Mr. Thomas Rance
personally, but the same warrant was applied for
subsequently by another person, and my impression,
from what that applicant said to me, is, that the name
of Thomas Rance, signed to this warrant, is a forgery,
and I believe, if the case be remanded, the executor
may be forthcoming.
Daniel Forrester, one of the officers at the Mansion-
house, said—ln consequence of information which I
received in relation to this case, I went to Enfield
yesterday, accompanied by the witness, Wale, and
my brother. I saw the prisoner at work in a sad-
dler's shop, over which was the name of Phipps, and
I walked, together with those who accompanied me,
into the shop. I said to the prisoner, I want to make
inquiries about a 51. note which you passed a week
ago to this person (pointing to Wale), from whom
you got it ? The prisoner said he had received it of
Mr. Emery, of Liverpool-road, Islington, on Thurs-
day week, who lent it to him, and he asked whether
that was riot satisfactory ? I said it was not, for he
had given the name of Wilson to Wale, and his
name was actually Phipps. I told him that he must
go with me and give further explanations. I went
to Liverpool-road with him, and asked for Mr.
Emery. I saw that gentleman, and asked him
whether he lent the prisoner a Si. note; to which
that gentl"man replied in the negative.
The prisoner upon being asked whether he wished
to say anything, said, " All I have to say is that Mr.
Emery has frequently lent me money."
The prisoner was remanded.
William Mitchell was charged upon suspicion of
having been a confederate of other persons in a rob-
bery committed upon a railway on the 26th instant.
it appeared that on the 26th instant, a lady who
was travelling in a railway carriage between Sutton
and Birkenhead was robbed of a 100/. Bank of Eng•
land note, M. W., 26,56 d, Liverpool, 25th of May,
1846 ; a 50/. Bank of England note, 0. W., 74,461,
Liverpool, 22(1 of May, 1846; also 8/. 193. in cash,
and a Queen Ann shilling, which property was con-
tained in two purses.
Mr. Spellman, of 10, Lombard-street, money
changer, stated that a man named Burgess had been
on the preceding day brought before the magistrate
at Guildhall upon suspicion of having been concerned
in the robbery, and remanded. " The prisoner,"
said the prosecutor, " came in to my office to change
some American bank notes, and he gave his name as
Captain Broadwater, of the ship 'Wellington, lying in
St. Katherine's Docks. We changed the American
notes' and he went away. Soon afterwards he re-
turned with another person, who said he was a pas-
senger from America, and he desired to know what
money I had paid the prisoner, and asked me whether
I could change some more American notes. I said I
could if they would return the next day. YeJterday
the other party (the American passenger) came,
and brought 142 dollars in American notes, and
four five•shilling notes also. I took posses-
sion of the notes, and laid them on the back
of the counter, and having just received a letter from
our correspondent in Liverpool, stating that 150/. in
bank notes had been stolen, and that American notes
had been purchased with them, and would be pro-
bably brought to be exchanged at our house, I gave
him into custody. The officers, to whose vigilance
and activity we are much indebted, went in search of
the ptisoner." In answer to questiens from Mr.
nobler, who attended for the prisoner, the witness
said he could not be mistaken as to the prisoner.
Edward runnel!, City policeman 32, said—On
Friday, in consequence of information which I had
received, I went with the officers Isaacs and Willis to
a beer-shop itn the London-road, and saw the pri-
soner in the front of the bar. I told him that he was
my prisoner, and that he must go to the City with me.
He asked me what for, and I told him the nature of
the charge. He said he knew nothing at all about
it. I took him to the station-house, where upon see-
ing Mr. Speilman he said, " Mr. Speilman, you
know the transaction we had yesterday afternoon ;
they were all good notes, and they were given to me
by Burgess (the person charged on Friday at Guild-
hall), and I brought Burgess to the gentleman's (Mr
Speilman's) house, and got a receipt for the moneys.
The LORD MAYOR-Mr. Speilman, have you rea-
son to belive that these American notes are the pro-
duce of the robbery of the bank notes for 150/. ?
Mr. :Speilman—l have every reason, to believe so.
I know the initials of a party on the Bank of England
notes.
The prisoner was remanded.
THAMES.

On Saturday John Klooterman, a Dutch sailor, was
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Isaac
Hughes, with intent to murder or do him grievous
bodily harm.
The prosecutor, a Welsh seaman, whose nose and
lips were covered with adhesive plaster, and who was
also in a weak state from loss of blood, stated that
he was lodging at 25, Farmer-street, Shadwell, with
several of his shipmates. On
Friday evening the
prisoner and himself were drinking in a public-house,
and went home very comfortably together. Some
" chaffing" took place, and words ensued. The
prisoner called him a " Welsh nannygoat," and he
retorted by calling him a "Dutch
Soon afterwards witness stood up to light his
pipe, and the prisoner caught him by the
throat and attempted to strangle him. Witness
struck the prisoner, and beat him off, and they were
about to fight, when two shipmates in the room
separated them. Directly after that the prisoner
went up stairs with a light, for the purpose, it was
supposed, of going to bed. Witness followed him
about ten minutes afterwards, and had got half way
up the stairs when the prisoner suddenly darted upon
him and cut him down the nose with a knife, and
followed it up by drawing the knife across his mouth
and completely dividing his upper lip. He also
received a stab on the right arm. He sang out
" Murder ! murder! he has stabbed me," as loud as
he was able. Two men came with lights and seized
the prisoner. Witness was conveyed to the surgery
of Mr. Ross, in High-street, Shadwell, who dressed
his wounds.

Thomas Jones, a seaman, was following Hughes
up-stairs with a candle in his hand, and caught sight of
the prisoner just at the top of the stair landing, and
saw him strike at Hughes. After making the last
blow he saw a knife in the prisoner's hand. The

blood gushed in a stream from the nose and mouth of
Hughes, and he also saw blood running down his
arm. Witness also sang out "Murder," and as-
sisted in securing the prisoner, who dropped a knife
on the floor in the lower room before a policeman
arrived. He saw Hughes after he was undressed.
His nose was slit, his mouth cut open, and there was
a stab on hi 3 arm. The jacket and shirt of the pr•-
secutor were cut through in a direction corresponding
with the wound on the arm.

John Straubert, a foreign seaman, who was ex-
amined through the medium of an interpreter, said he
went to bed a quarter of an hour before the row
commenced, and the prisoner came to his bedside and
borrowed his knife, and said he wanted it for the
purpose of cutting up tobacco. After the prisoner
had got the knife he saw him on the stair landing,
and he waited in the dark until Hughes came 11P
stairs, and then attacked him with it.
Pickering, a police-constable, 87 K, produced
knife stained with blood, NI hick the last witness identi-
fied as the one he lent to the prisoner. It was found
in the room in the lodging-house, close to the pri-
soner's feet.

The prisoner offered no defence.
Mr. YARDLEY committed him fur trial for the
felony.
