NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MAY 23.—The Geyser steam-sloop,
Commander Francis T. Brown, arrived here yesterday
morning trom Milford.

The Buck lighter sailed yesterday with stores for the
eastward.

The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander A. C. Key, was
completed with coals, stores, and two months' provi-
sions yesterday, with all possible dispatch, and went
out of harbour last night at eight o'clock. A messen-
ger from the Foreign-office arrived by the mail-train
this morning at one o'clock, bearing dispatches for Sir
G. H. Seymour, G.C.8., and Vice Admiral Sir W. Par-
ker. He was immediately put on board, and the Bull-
dog sailed with him a little before four o'clock this
morning for Lisbon.

Ever; exertion is being used to prepare the St. Vin-
cent for sea with the most convenient dispatch. Ru-
mour assigns her time for sailing to Wednesday or
Thursday next. The Rear-Admiral embarks to-morrow.
The Admiralty have made some recent inquiries into
the progress of the dockyard battalion in drill practice
at this yard. The answers have been favourable as re-
gards the progress of the men under the circumstances,
but the reverse as respecting the time devoted to prac-
tice. The consequence of this has been an order, which
comes into operation to-morrow, that half of the men
shall be drilled every night. This will bring every man
to practice three times a week. The total number of
the force amounts to nearly 2,000, of which thirteen
companies are infantry and six artillery. A boat brigade,
and Captain James's hired men, make up the remainder.
A very respectable brass band is in a forward state of
organization, amounting already to seventeen per-

vessel, under the direction of Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hotham, arrived yesterday at Greenhithe, and passed
between the Amphion and Terrible steam-frigates,
Captain the Honourable G. F. Hotham invited
Captain Ramsey on board, and that officer pro-
ceeded round the Nore light in her, and was so
highly gratified with her great speed as to remain on
board when she returned to Long-reach, and witnessed
the speed of the vessel tested six times up and dews* the
aneilatsriidinile, and it was ascertained that her progress
was 15 knots, or 17k miles per hour, the greatest speed
ever obtained by any steam-vessel. The Brighton is
one of three built by Mr. Thomson, from designs by Mr.
Lang, jun., and constructed of wood, with engines by
p
Messrs. Penn of 160-horse power, on the oscillating
principle, with a stroke of 4 feet. The other two vessels
fir the Brighton Railway Company are to be named the
Dieppe and New Haven, and intended to run betwixt
Brighton and Dieppe, and from their great speed will
materially shorten the passage to France. Captain
Smithett, of the Garland, the fastest of the Dover
packets, was on board the Brighton, and a number of
scientific gentlemen interested in the speed of steam-
vessels.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Many who suffer from bile are unconscious of
It ; they complain of sick-headache, a derangement and sinking at
the stomach, loss of appetite, lowness of sprite, want of energy,
proclaiming their charitable
feet, hand, and lace swellings, and know not that these symptoms
denote the imperfect action of the liver, and, if not remedied, might
)ead to dropsy. Holloway's Pills will always be found to act directly
on the liver and rtomacb, and early Off the redundancy of humours,
and thereby restore the patient to a full enjoyment of health. The
blue pill is a mercurial and destructive medicine, which no one should
take.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
