NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.

PORTSMOUTFI, TUESDAY.—We have received fur-
ther advices from the above squadron by the mail
steamer. Our correspondent continues (Aug. 28) :
"I do not recollect whether I mentioned in my
last the arrival of the Amazon, 20, Captain Stopford
from Madeira, last Monday. She left on the same
day for the Mediterranean. The Sidon steam-frigate,
Captain Henderson, C. 8., arrived on the 25th, in five
days from the Western Islands, whither Captain Hen-
derson had been despatched by Sir W. Parker to quell
some disturbances and bring the inhabitants to their
allegiance to the Queen of Portugal, a mission which
Captain Henderson executed highly to the satisfaction
of the Commander-in-Chief (Sir William Parker),
who, both publicly and privately, expressed unquali-
fied gratification at the issue of the expedition. Cap-
thin Henderson is to take the steamers Sidon, Odin,
Dragon, Vixen, Stromboli, and Avenger for a trial
cruise, hoisting a broad pendant in the Sidon, which
ship, after the trial (about three weeks), will proceed
to the Mediterranean to join the squadron under
Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, who has expressed
himself much pleased with her state and efficiency as
a steam-ship of w.
" The America, ar
50, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland,
got on shore on a pinnacle-pointed rock, lying about
two-thirds of a mile S.S.W., true bearings from the
centre of the Bource Rocks off the south end of the
Bayona islands at the entrance of Vigo. She had the
head pilot of Vigo on board at the time. The rock
was not known to exist before; there were 15 fathoms
close to at the time she struck. She drew about 20
feet.

"The 6th of September is the day appointed for the
squadron to sail for a short cruise."
Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker's flag-lieutenant, the
Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, took over the Lightning
steam-vessel to Ryde, Isle of Wight, this morning, to
attend on her Majesty the Queen Dowager, who had
communicated to the authorities her intention of re-
turning to town to-day at noon, and her purpose of
taking a view of the magnificent porcelain vase pre-
sented to Sir Charles Ogle by the Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia. The pier and stairs at
Clarence-yard, and the landing, &c., at the King's
Stairs, in the dockyard, were consequently decorated
in a very tasteful manner with flags, and guards of
honour stationed at each. That 6t Clarence-yard was
composed of Royal Marines. The guard at the dock-
yard was taken from the main guard, and was
partly marines and part from the 52d Regiment. Her
Majesty embarked from Ryde Pier at 10.30 A.M. with
her suite, and Major-General Lord F. Fitzclarence,
who went over in the Lightning to meet her. Her
Majesty was steered to the steamer by Lieutenant
the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, flag-lieutenant to Rear-
Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., who has been in attend-
ance on her since her arrival. Her Majesty was
saluted with yards manned by the Amphion, 36, as
she passed Spithead. As she approached the harbour
the Platform battery and the Victory and Excellent
saluted, and all the vessels manned yards. The boats
of the Coast Guard and Revenue cutters were in
attendance. The Lightning entered the harbour at
11.18 A.M., and her Majesty and part of her suite
landed in Sir Charles Ogle's barge, steered by Lieu-
tenant Spencer, at the Dockyard, at 11.34 A.M. She
was received by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart. ;
Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8.; Captains Pasco,
Chads, Plumridge, Eden, Williams, and Warren ;
Commanders Willcox, Hewlett, Gould, Browne,
&c.; and proceeded without delay in a carriage
to the Admiral's house. A superb collation was
provided, but her Majesty could not remain to
partake of it. After inspecting the vase, with
which her Majesty was much pleased, she returned in
the same way to the stairs, and re-embarked in the
barge at 11.55 A.M., Sir Charles Ogle accompanying
her. The Royal party was followed by Rear-Admiral
Parker, Major-General Lord F. Fitzclarence, and
the captains and commanders of the ships in port, in
their barges and boats. Her Majesty landed at Cla-
rence-yard at two minutes past twelve o'clock, and
was received by Captain Sir E. W. Parry, and the
principal officers of Clarence-yard, also by the Lieut.-
Governor's staff. Her Majesty and suite finally left
at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock by a special
train, which was brought into the yard by Mr. Ste-
vens, of the South-Western Railway Company, for
her Majesty's accommodation.
The Princess Royal transport, Lieutenant W. C.
Harris, agent, arrived this morning from Gibraltar.
The Amphion, 36, Captain W. J. Williams, is
discharging her powder, shot, and shells, and will
come into harbour this evening, where her machines
will, if possible, be put in order again by Mr. Mur-
ray, chief engineer of the establishment.
The Kite steam vessel, Master Commanding George
Filmer' sailed last evening for Plymouth and Cork.
The Porcupine, steam surveying vessel, Lieutenant
Commanding E. E. Tumour, sailed this morning
for Woolwich. She was employed as one of the
relief squadron on the Irish and Scottish coasts, where
her mission having terminated, she will resume her
surveying duties in the Thames, under Captain F.
Bullock, as soon as her defects are made good.

The Amphitrite corvette, Captain T. RI Eden, has
hauled off from her hulk to complete painting and
other fittings. Her armament is nearly complete,
and will, as far as we can see, comprise either 27 or
29 guns.
The Collingwood, 84), Captain Smart, the Sampson
steam-frigate, and the Juno, 26, were at Callao on
the 11th of July, all well. A letter from the latter
ship says,—" I only arrived here a few days ago,
having been out of the civilized world the last six
months at the Navigators Islands, where we had to
encounter a hurricane which nearly caused us to
leave the Juno's bones at Upola. We rode to three
anchors, with four down, the sea breaking heavily on
the reefs within a cable's length on each side of us,
and with less than three fathom's water close astern.
We could not veer an inch. She dragged three
anchors, and then held on with the fourth (Porter's)
and, thanks to good tackle, here she is." The Gram-
pus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin, with the Admiral on
board, was daily expected at Valparaiso from Otaheite
on the 30th of June, as was the Modeste, 18, Cap-
tain Watkins, fro:n California. The Constance, 50,
Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, would be at Valparaiso
in July, and the Carysfort, 26, Captain M. Seymour,
in August.

MORE SHIPWRECKS AT THURSO

- - -
WITH LOSS OF LIFE.
(From the John o' Groat Journal.)
THcuo, THURSDAY.—We have had a strong gale
of wind here, especially through the past night and
this morning, from the N.—and I am grieved to add,
that its ravages have again been fatal.
Two vessels have been driven ashore—one of these
is a schooner called the Mary and Joseph of Derby-
haven, Isle of Man, Captain Lowry, with herrings
from Peterhead, for Belfast. She lies a little west of
the river. The other is a sloop with slates, from
Easdale named the Nancy, of and for Dundee. The
crews. of both vessels have been saved, although that
of the latter with considerable difficulty. This vessel
lies a little to the eastward of the Old Castle. It is
feared that both will be total wrecks.
But I regret to add a case of a more melancholy
nature. I have just seen a bearer, sent here from
Sandside, with the heartrending intelligence, that a
schooner was driven ashore, near Isauld, this morning,'
and that the crew have all perished. Both masts
went overboard immediately on her striking. My
informant could not tell her name, cargo, or destina-
tion. The custom-house officers and coast-guard are
all off to the place.
An American vessel is rolling very heavily in the
roads, being anchored too far out—the general mis-
take of captains. If she is well found, she may stand
out the gale.
It is reported that other two vessels are ashore
farther to the westward.

Tis ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—APPREHENSION OF
ROBBER.—Between six and seven o'clock yesterday
{Friday) evening, a message was received in Southamp-
eon, by the electric telegraph, from London, in conse-
quence of which a man named Benjamin Hill was ap-
prehended about eleven o'clock the same evening, at the
Whiw Hart Inn. Hill was formerly boots at Matcham's
Hotel, and subsequently kept an outfitting shop in
Bridge-street. He was apprehended on a charge of
,stealing 'jewellery, plate, &c., the property of Mr. Nathan
+Gore, of London. He had with him a portmanteau
etnd three heavily-laden boxes, which have not yet been
opened. On being searched, a watch, a casket contain-
jug three dimond studs and ten gold studs, and the
slim of 2s. 64d., were found on his person. Hill was
secured in the lock-up at the police-station, and will be
_dexamined before the borough justices this day.—Hemp.

AN UNGALLANT EDITOR.—The American Literary
Gazette quotes the following. from a transatlantic con-
temporary: _ An interesting female correspondent
sends us a piece of poetry with a reqest for its publica-
tion. The moon is called bright—the stars are flattered
with the original appellation of meek•eyed'—the trees
come in for a full share of eulogy,
and the falling spring
something to that effect.
is pronounced silver-plated, o
Besides this, the poem is requallys instructive on other
important subjects. If Mary will send us an affidavit
that she has washed the dishes, mended the hose, and
swept the house for a week after she was blasten
poetic fire,' we will give in, and startle the literary
world from its lethargy. For the present we say, darn
your stockings, and darn your poetry too."
FOOT-Ram—On Monday, the foot-race between
Walter Thomas (a Welshman), winner of twelve races
and loser of but two, and Grantham (the " Eton Pet"),
came off on Gerrard's cross-common by mutual agree-
ment. The distance was two miles; and after a close-
r= race Grantham won by about six yards, the distance
being performed in ten minutes and thirty-six seconds.
The match was 501. aside, and the betting at the close
was in favour of the " Eton Pet." Grantham is one of
the men who previously defeated the Welshman at Salt-
}till, and the other victor over him was John Davis,
the " Lame Chicken," his fellow-countryman, who
lately defeated the "North Star," at Salt-hill, in a
mile race.

BLOCKADE OF THE COAST OF ALBANIA.

It is herebyE°R EInGo ri

r s
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, has received from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's
Acting Minister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime Porte, a
dispatch, dated the 3d of August last, inclosing the
copy of a note addressed to him by the Turkish Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, officially communicating the
intention of the Sublime Porte to blockade the coast of
Albania.
The tenor of the note from the Turkish Minister is
as follows:
" Troops in sufficient numbers have been sent from
hence, and several ships of war detached from the Im-
perial fleet under the command of Mustapha Bey, Cap-
tain of the Admiral's ship, have been sent to put down
without delay the rebellious acts which certain ill-
advised persons have lately committed in that part of
Albania which is inhabited by the Toscali.
"It is unnecessary to state to you, Sir, that, as the
speedy and fortunate conclusion of so important a matter
depends, with God's assistance, on surrounding the
brigands on all sides it has been determined to cause a
blockade to be established by the ships selected for this
purpose after an interval of a month, dating from to-day,
throughout the whole Albanian coast, from and in-
cluding Prevesa up to the extremity of the port of
Durazzo.
" The Sublime Porte, therefore, requests, Sir, that you
will duly notify this measure to the merchant vessels
belonging to your nation ; in order that they may not
be found within the said limits at the expiration of
the period above stated : that you will inform them,
that should any vessels, disregarding the warning
of the officers whose duty it will be to cause
the blockade to be respected, attempt forcibly and
contrary to the regulations to enter any of the ports
the entrance into which is prohibited to them, they will
be treated as vessels violating a blockade are every-
where treated ; and that you will give them orders to
the effect, that, as long as it shall not have been officially
notified to you that the disturbances having been, with
God's help, put an end to, the blockade is raised, they
must conform to the principles above laid down.
" And, considering that it is possible that merchant
vessels which may not have been apprized during the
said interval of the establishment of the blockade in
question, may present themselves on those coasts, you
are requested to deliver to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Sublime Porte, to be afterwards given to
Mustapha.Bey, a proclamation, in order that he may,
by showing them that proclamation, prevent them from
entering the blockaded ports.
