NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We understand the Admi-
ralty have awarded annuities to two of the daughters of
the late Lieutenant W. P. Green, R.N.; and that the
same boon will be conferred upon the eldest daughter of
the deceased veteran.

His Excellency Lord Howden, the newly-appointed
Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to the River Plate, and suite, arrived at Gosport this
afternoon, by the express train on the South-Western
Railway, and put up at Pettet's Railway Hotel, where
hie Lordship dines and sleeps this evening. The suite
and personal baggage of his Lordship have been em-
barked at Spithead in the Rattler steam sloop, Coro-
mandel. Moorman. the vessel appointed for his Lordship's
mission, which will sail to-morrow it is expected.
Admiral 6ir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-
Chief, accompanied by his Flag-Captain, Milne, and Mr.
G. B. B. Collier, Flag-Lieutenant, paid an official visit
this morning, at half-past eleven, to the Salamander
steam iloop, -whose crew had been previously mustered
and inspected by Captain Milne. The Admiral was
received with manned yards by the crew of the vessel
(the band of the Victory on the poop playing the usual
salute as he passed to and from her), and the other
ceremonies incidental to official visits. John Barton, the
marine recently condemneo to suffer death for a viola-
tion of the 22d article of war, in abusing and striking
whilst in the execution of his duty his superior officer
on the quarter-deck of the Salamander, was then sent
for, having been previously brought aboard from the
Victory in custody of the Provost- marshal and a guard
of Matinee. The Admiral having ordered every one in
the ship to be called aft cn the quarter-deck, and all
being a-senabled, Captain Milne read an official letter
from the Lords of the Admiralty, stating that the Earl
of Auckland, First Lord, having laid the case of the con-
demned John Barton before her Majesty, it was the
Royal command that the sentence of death passed upon
him (John Barton) by court-martial, be commuted to
transportation for seven years. Sir Charlts then ad-
dressed the culprit in a very feeling and impressive
manner, enlarging en the enormity of his offence, the
necessity for its suppression and punishment, sc., and
hoped the prisoner would show by his future conduct
his gratitude for the mercy the Queen had been gra-
ciously pleased to extend to him in consideration of his
former good character. The Gallant. Admiral took oc-
casion to admonish the crew generally against similar
conduct, animadverting on its dangerous tendency and
the necessity for preserving rigidly proper order and
subora:aation, concluding with these words:—" The
strength of the navy consists in discipline." The pri-
soner was then taken back to the Victory, where he
will remain until disposed of by the Secretary of State
The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Milue, was got all
ataut again yesterday, having been very smartly newly-
rigged in the basin, the sh(xt time occupied in doing
which reflects great credit upon the effieers and ship's
company. She will be docked on the Fairy ccming out,
arid be quickly refitted far sea-going service.
Contracts were taken yesterday at the Royal Clarence
Victualling Establishment, Grsport, fur 1,000 quarters
of barley, at 48s. sd. and 48s. 81. per quarter, and 1,000
sacks of biscuit-meal at 50s. 9d. Die establishment is
in work all day to keep up a supply for the navy, and all
night for the " relief service."

The Talbot, 2!, Captain Sir Thomas .Talbot, was paid
off this afternoon all standing. Iler sails are unbent,
topgallaot-masts struck, and as much of her running
rigging and stores returned as could be dispensed with.
She will be docked without dtl.,y, and refitted with all
dispatch for the relief sPrvico. We were led into an
error about a fortnight since in commenting upon toe
fact of Captain Thompson haling brought home two
freights in succession from the Pacific. Sir Thomas
was sent home with the first involuntarily, being ordered
home with important dispa.tehe4; the freight did not
amount to more than 1,000,000 dollars; the one just
brought home only amounted to 60,000 dollars in specie,
and was,-theref r.‘, anything but adequate to the loss
sustained by Sir Thomas by the America bringing home
freight out of her turn. which fcct hat deranged all the
intentions of the Commander in• Chief in the Pacific,
and greatly disappointed !bd.-4; 021 .ers Nilio expected to
benefit by the usual train of the proceedings on that
station. Sir Thomas Thompson, althotrjh a baronet, is
not a rich mar, as might he supposed ; quite the con-
trary, and has a right to expect. rovitution of that of
which he has been unjustly- deprivi d.
PLY3IOI.7TH, MARCH 25.—tier Majesty's sloop Mari-
ner, 12, Commauder Maltisan, returned yesterday
morning with loss of jibboom, bowsprit sprung, stern-
boat s7ove in, and thinp leaky. She was bound to Ascen-
sion and the coast of Africa, and put leek to this port
some weeks sins e, damaged under similar cit cumstances.
Alter !yang refitted she left again on the 13th instant,
and will now require a thorough repair. The Mariner
is oveimasted and sparred; she consequently rolls
heavily; and in stormy weather always incurs damage.
The emigra!ion barque Belle Alliance, Captain Van•
derberg, which nut back on the 233, after reaching 17
deg. 30 min. W., carried away her maintoprnast and
miz-n, sprung her mainmast, and damaged her rigging,
and will now require a complete refit. She was thhind
to Adelaide, and has about 240 emigrants on boare.
