NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Brighton Gazette.)
PORTAMOUTH, JULY I.—The Pique, 36, Capt. Boxer, is
to proceed to Spithead from Sheerness, to be held in
readiness for immediate service, if required. The Incon-
stant frigate, Captain Pring, is under the same orders ha
Plymouth Sound, destined, however, by rumour, for Que.
bcc.
The only ship of war fitting out in this harbour is the
Vanguard, 84, Capt. Sir David Dunn; but, according to
present appearances, she will not be ready to proceed to
tLe Mediterranean for some time, owing to the difficulty of
obtaining seamen.
The Asia, 84, Captain Fisher, may be looked for front
the Mediterranean, to be paid off about the middle of
August; and also the steamer Hydra, Commander
Robinson.
The Athol, 30, troop-ship, Mr. Bellamy, master, and
Apollo, troop-frigate, Mr. Kerley, master, have arrived
from Quebec, with the service companies of the 11th and
15th regiments. The latter ship has since gone to Wool-
wich with a detachment of the 60th Rifles. The Sapphire
troop-ship is hourly looked for, with the remainder of the
15th regiment, from Quebec.
The Pluto steamer, Lieut. Lunn, is to be paid off at
Woolwich, whither she has proceeded from the West
India station. She brings no news of moment, having
left the Admiral well, at Bermuda, on the 4th June, with
his flag in the Winchester frigate. The islands were
tranquil and healthy, except Barbadoes, where fever was
partially prevailing. The squadron was healthy.
The Vesuvius steamer, Lieut. Blount, is to take the
58th Regiment from this Garrison to Glasgow, and tbonce
go to the River.
The Pantaloon, 10, Lieut. Tryon. has returned to the
eastern coast for the protection of the fishery.
The cutter Seaflower, Lieut. Robilliard, has coma into
the harbour from Jersey to refit, having left her tender,
Cracker, in charge of the station, protecting the oystet
fishery.
The Southampton, 52, Captain Hillyar, is rapidly pro.
greasing in her equipment at Chatham, fitting for the 114
of Rear-Admiral Sir Edward King, for the Brazil cow-
mend. A letter front an officer says she is to proceed 10
Spithead in a few days, there to complete her complement
of men.
The Thunderer, 84, Captain Berkeley, passed Gibraltar
for Malta on the Bth June, having left the Tagus on the
sth. Ships there at that date were Donegal, 78, flag
ship, and Revenge, 78.

FIRE-PROOF BUILDINGS.—PIans for preve-nt•
ing the most fatal consequences of fire, burglary, open attaCl
and sudden alarm, more especially during the hours of rest, 3a
for the safety of valuable and portable property under those
cumstar.ces, have lately been invented by Captain Cressve,.l:
and highly approved of by professional men, among others V
Mr. Barry, the architect, who in a letter to Captain Cresse
giving his opinion of the invention, says—" The hints it ',11.1-
tains are valuable and well worthy of mature consideration.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—A meeting o. the
I,e
Fellows of the Zoological Society was held yesterday l° ta
into consideration Mr. Tooke's motion for closing the Garden
on Sundays, when the bigots sustained a signal defeat; e°
seventeen hands were held up for the motion, which 1"5 riet,
jested by a large majority. In one sense we regret the rest! _
because we wish to see the higher classes placed on a foottns
with the pest of the community. Why should a Noble Lora 0:
a wealthy citizen be allowed to drive in their carriages ta,:e,
show of wild beasts on a Sunday, while the children of the
middle and lower classes are prevented by the Magistrates an
police from riding on donkeys?
