INTELLIGENCE.—The Meteor steam-vessel,
Commander M. A. Slater (acting), with the crew of the
Lightning, arrived on Monday at Woolwich, from Scot-
land, and is to be paid off. A melancholy accident took
place shortly after her arrival, one of the stokers hav-
ing fallen down when at work, and died instan-
tanecasly ; from what cause has not yet been aseer;-
tabled, but it was evidently accidental. The Lightning
is ordered to be commissioned with a crew of 26
men. The Devastation steam-frigate, Commander
Hastings Reginald Henry, was delayed sailing from va-
rious exists, and it was fully expected would have left
Woolwich on Monday. In anticipation of that being- tilt
case, the Bishop of Jerusalem, with his family and a
great number of friends and members of a Committee
interested in the mission to the Holy Land, accompanied
him.on board, purposing to leave the vessel at Graves-
end. Commander Henry having become very unwell,
the sailing of the Devastation was again delayed, and tile
Bishop's friends and party landed at the dockyard, to ra-
turn to town. Commander Henry's illness continued
unabated yesterdey, and in consequence the Devastation
sailed for the Mediterranean about two o'clock in Cite
afternoon, the commander intending tti proceed, as soon
as he can bear the fatigue of the journey, Via' Marseilles,
to join her at Malta.'
