NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 25.—The Odin steam-frigate,
temporarily fitted out as a provision vessel, and manned
by the officers and crew of the Amphion screw pro-
pelled frigate, of 36 guns, Captain W. J. Williams, ar-
rived yesterday morninz to load with seed-corn and
other provisions for Ireland.
The Talbot, 26, Captain Sir Thomas Thompson,
Bart., is ready for paying off; her sails were unbent
yesterday and returned, and topgallant-masts struck.
She will be paid off all standing to-morrow.
The Sphynx steam-sloop is ordered to sail without
delay for Deptford.
On Tuesday, during a very strong gale from E.S.E ,
the sloop Constantia, Russell master, from London to
Langston, struck on the Woolsner sands, about six
miles from this port, and was in momentary danger of
going to pieces, and sacrificing the lives of all on board,
when Lieutenant Clarke, of the Hayling Coast Guard
Station, put off in a frightful surf in his boat,
and at the imminent risk of his own and his crew's
lives, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel, and
offered assistance, which, however, strange to relate, was
thankfully declined, although the vessel continued
striking fearfully ! This is another instance of the
prompt bravery displayed by Lieut. Clarke in endea-
vouring to rescue from death his fellow-creatures. We
had the pleasure, some three weeks or a month since, of
recording his heroic intrepidity in the case of the loss of
the Gipsey on the same shoal, when he was the means,
under Providence, of saving nine out of ten of the crew
of that ill-fated vessel.

The Mariner transport, Lieut. William Still, agent,
after being absent from here eleven days, pursuant to
orders from the Home-office, arrived again last night at
eleven o'clock, with her 210 prisoners on board, and was
towed into the harbour by the Echo steam-tug to-day,
to discharge them into the York and Stirling Castle
hulks.

WOOLWICH, MARCH 25.—The Terrible steam-frigate,
Captain Hall, received on board yesterday forty-five
supernumeraries, front Sheerness and Chatham, to navi-
gate her round to Portsmouth, where she will be trans-
ferred to Captain Ramsay, with her own officers and
crew, and Captain Hall is expected to return to Wool-
wich in the Dragon steam frigate, at present under the
charge of Captain Ramsay. The Terrible will proceed
to Ireland with provisions.
The Mariner hired transport ship, with stores and 210
convicts from Bermuda, was detained three days after
orders were received to proceed with her to Portsmouth,
owing to the want of accommodation for the convicts at
Woolwich. The detention took place in consequence of
the crew of the vessel refusing to return to Portsmouth,
where they touched on their return to this country,
unless a new agreement and extra wages were paid to
them, their original agreement being from Bermuda to
the port of London. An arrangement having been
effected with the crew, the vessel left Woolwich on Sun-
day afternoon for Portsmouth.
The Asia hired convict ship left Woolwich on Monday
afternoon with about 300 female convicts for Hobart
Town, New South Wales.
Divine service was performed yesterday (the Fast-day)
in the dockyard, and on board the vessels having chap-
lains on the river; and the whole of the Government es-
tablishments were closed as on the Sabbath days.
