NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Independent.)
PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 25.—The Dolphin schooner,
Lieutenant Littlehales, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday
from Sheerness, on her way to the Cape of Good Hope
and West African station. Mr. Edward Rowe, Second
Master, to join the Andromache, and Mr. Batten,
Second Master, to join the Brisk, will take passage in
the Dolphin.
The Pantaloon, Lieutenant Tryon, returned on
Tuesday from cruising on the coast of Brighton, for the
protection of the fisheries.
Captain Harrison has been appointed to the com-
mand of the Magicienne, but as he declines going
abroad on account of the serious indisposition of hill
lady, it is expected that either the Hon. Captain her'
pel or Captain Erskine will succeed in the command.
Captain Amoroux, of the French brig Jenne Frede-
rick, who some time ago rescued four sailors of her
Majesty's schooner Lynx, after they had been captured
by the negroes of Gabon, has been presented by the
British Admiralty with a gold chronometer, in testimony
of his generous and disinterested services.
The New York packet St. James, Captain Sebor,
on her last voyage from this port to New York, fell in
with the Burlington, Capt. Hallett, of Boston, which
ship had been struck by lightning, and in fifteen mi-
nutes after the fire burst out, she was all in flames'
Captain Sebor succeeded in saving the whole of the
cri:vv within a few hours of her utter destruction. The
Burlington had 1,553 bales of cotton on board.
On Saturday afternoon last the Locust steam-
packet was launched at her Majesty's dockyard, Wool-
wich. She is one of the smallest class ever launched
from that yard, and about 200 tons burden.
The Success bulk, was towed out of harbour on Friday
morning, by the Messenger steamer, to assist Colonel
Pasley in his operations for removing the remainder of
the Royal George, which will commence early in the
ensuing month.

Boxer, sailed yesterday for Cronstadt, to bring h°m.
the Marquis of Clanricarde, our Ambassador at St.
Petersburgh.
The Vestal, 28, was at Halifax on the 4th April.
The Dolphin, 3, arrived on Tuesday from Chatham,
and came into harbour on the following day to be
docked, having, on her passage round, been run foul 0'
in the night, off the Foreland, by the Brazanza
steamer, and thereby sustained much damage. This
collision is attributable to the neglect on board the
Braganza, in not keeping a good look out, or showing
lights ; and such was the force of the shock that the
anchor of the Dolphin was cleanly cut in two ; indeed,
but for the anchor, the Dolphin in all probability would
have gone down. All her larboard stanchions were
carried away, and her starboard side is much shaken.
When repaired she will proceed to the west coast of

Africa.
The Cambridge, 78, Captain Barnard, is ordered from
Plymouth to Spithead, to fit for the reception of a di-
