TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
N the press of bu,itiess it may occur that Letters of
T
Thanks miscarry ; and, being anxious to guard against the possi-
bility of be icg supposed insensible of favours, I adopt this public manner
of offering, for the acceptance of my Supporters and Friends, the ex-
pression of my most grateful acknowleCgments. I have now the
satisfaction to assure them that their exertions justify my indulging
the most confident expectation of complete success. To preclude all
chance of the non-receipt of proxies forwarded for execution, I
earnestly request that my Friends will be careful to give me timely
intimation of any changes in their places of residence.
I have the honour to remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful Servant,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAy squadron, comprising the
St. Vincent, 120, Captain ?Aline, flag of Rear-Admiral
Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. ; the Howe, 120, Captain
Sir James Stirling ; the Caledonia., 120, Captain M. H.
Dixon ; the Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Leeke ; the
Vengeance, 84, Captain S. Lushington ; and a steam-
L frigate to each line-of-battle ship, is ordered to assemble
at Spithead within a fortnight (the two first-named are
already there) ; and, in order that the departure of these
ships and vesses upon their " experimental" trip may
not be impeded by the want of men a moment longer
than is absolutely necessary, the Admiralty
.have ordered
that any men not seamen desirous of entering the navy,
shall be immediately entered. For this purpose ren-
dezvous have been this day opened on the Common
Hard, Portsea, and in the Victory, for the entry of all
able-bodied persons willing to volunteer to do duty on
board ship : accordingly placards of which the following
is a copy, are numerously and conspicuously exposed on
jel
all the public buildings, the dock-gates, at the various
rendezvous, &c. •
Wanted for her Mast 's shi A St. Vincent, 120,
Howe, 120, Queen, 110, Caleydonia, 120, and Vengeance,
84, ablebodied seamen, and men accustomed to fishing-
vessels or boats, as ordinary seamen, or landsmen. Ap-
ply at the Row-barge Tavern, Common Hard ; or on
board her Majesty's ship Victory.
"JOHN PASCO, Captain.
" Her Majesty's ship Victory, June 24."
This is an advance iek the right direction in the endea-
vour to get the ships -snanned ; too much picking and
choosing has been of late the practice with officers of
ships fitting out, who are too apt, to indulge in the for-
bidding notice, " No Kest need apply," when
calling for smrign. If 'pa-cannot be manned by ready-
made seamen, they must be manned by such as may be
willing to serve the Queen afloat. There is plenty of
the "raw material" in the country, which, with a little
judicious trimming, may be made quite as available for
all the purposes required as the old stock. Seamen are
not scarce—they only want encouragement.
The Resistance troop-ship, Commander G. Lowe, ar-
rived this morning at Spithead with the 14th Regiment
from Halifax. Orders were awaiting her on her arrival
to proceed with as little delay as possible to Plymouth
to disembark the troops.
The Diligence naval transport, which arrived here on
Sunday, brought field pieces, boat guns, tumbrils, slides,
&c., for the use of the boat brigade and artillery corn
panies of the dockyard battalion. These have been
landed today. She brought also a set of drums and
bugles for the corps. Last evening the boat brigade of
the Royal Clarence Yard Volunteers, under the command
of Major Davies (Master-Attendant), made their first
essay in gunboat practice. They were provided with a
launch from the Excellent, with a 24-pounder in the
bow of her. They rowed out into the harbour channel
and fired seven rounds in most admirable style, which
may be judged of by the fact of their having fired three
rounds in the space of forty seconds! Not so bad for a
beginnieg. Their major is an active and indefatigable
officer, and one likely to have contributed considerably
to this favourable result of a first essay. Unfortunately,
in the heat of their martial ardour, they fired so close
to the Quebec Hotel, that the concussion, increased by
a strong wind blowing right on to the establishment,
smashed or cracked nearly every pane of glass on the
water side of the building, a catastrophe which also
befel numerous other houses and tenements along the
Portsmouth shore in proximity with the firing party, for
which compensation is, of course, demanded by the pro-
prietors or tenants.
The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle,
intends to sail on Sunday, we believe, if the weather
should prove favourable, in the Undine steam-yacht, on
a visit to the Channel. Islands. On this occasion his
flag will be struck in the Victory and transferred to the
Undine, and the duties of the port will be carried on
pro tem. by Rear-Admiral of the White Hyde Parker,
C. 8., Suporintendent of the Dock) ard.
