NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Tim Sidon steam-frigate, Cat
Henderson, was docked this morning, to have some of
pipes which are under water cleared, and her bottom brown(
down. She is ordered peremptorily to be ready for service 11
the Ist of March.

The African steam-tug returned from the Sphynx
Friday night, and proceeded again to her on Saturday,, it°"-
ing a mooring-lump, and the camel which is to be appile° to
her head. She also took down Mr. Bellamy, the senel!d
mast.er attendant, and a number of extra hands to assist In
heaving her off. Yesterday morning, before daylight, the
Emerald tender, with Mr. Biddlecombe, master of the flag"
ship, who had been einph,yed in sounding for, and buoying
off, a channel through which to heave the Sphynx off, re-
turned into harbour. The Drake lighter, with about 15 tons
of her machinery, including her funnel and steam-pipe*
also came in in the night. They brought news that she
floated on Saturday, and was hove out about twenty feet"
The weather, which has been hitherto remarkably favour-
able, with the wind northerly and north-west, changed
yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, to $
fresh breeze from W.S.W., with rain, which continued
during the day. Should this last, we much fear all hope of
saving the vessel must be abandoned. There are strong
symptoms at present of an approaching westerly or south-
westerly gale.
The Echo returned this morning from the wreck, andre-
port s that the rollers having set in on the change of wind,
stopping near the wreck was out of the question. She lost
two punts or camels, and also reports that the wreck kW
been driven back in shore, and broadside on, so that there
are but faint hopes now of saving even the hull. The Echo
is coaling, preparatory to making another trip; and the
Drake has gone down to pick up what she can of the ma-
chinery, &c.
Mr. Bellamy, the assistant-master-attendant of this dock-
yard, has gone down again this afternoon in the Echo to th?,
wreck of the Sphynx. We learn that the two "camels
intended to go under the sponsons of the steamer, broke
adrift on Saturday night, from the ring-bolts drawinff, but
have since been picked up and taken into Yarmouth Mao!'
By a letter from the Cormorant steam-sloop. Captain
Gordon, on the Pacific station, we are informed she Jell
Nisqually, Puget's Sound, on the 16th of September, for the
Straits of Georgia, and the northern coast of Vancouver!'
Island, in search of coal, and returned to Nisqually on the
7th of October, having found and shipped 60 tons of excel-
lent quality. She left Nisqaally on the 10th of October, lo
company with the Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, and arrived
at Fisgard harbour, Vancouver's Island, on the following
day, and on the 13th proceeded, still in company with the
frigate, through the Straits of San Juan de Fuca to the
westward of Cape Flattery, and then returned to Fort
Victoria, Camoosan Harbour, Vancouver's Island,..-7-to winter.
Mr. C. N. Frampton, the paymaster and purser of the
Cormorant, died at Nisqually on the 30th of August. Mr.
W. W. Parminter, clerk of, the Collingwood, es-appointed to
the death vacancy. The Fisgard experienced a heavy
thunder-storm whilst lying at Nisqually, on the evening of
the 26th of September last, during the prevalence of which
her mainmast was struck by lightning; the electric fluid
passed down the conductor (she is fitted with Harris's), and
by it out on each side of the ship, causing a tremendous ex-
plosion, but no damage was sustained either by the mast or
the ship. Two persons were struck down by the violence of
the shock. It is considered the conductors saved the ship.

The Marquis of Northampton has accepted the
office of Patron of the College of Preceptor&
