NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MoxvAr.—The Sidon steam-frigate, Cott'
Henderson, was docked this morning, to have some oft
pipes which are under water cleared, and her bottom broolne'
down. She is ordered peremptorily to be ready for service 11
the Ist of March.
The African steam-tug returned from the Sphynx 011
Friday night, and proceeded again to her on Saturday, t?",
mg a mooring-lump, and the camel which is to be applied
her head. She also took down Mr. Bellamy, the sewnri
master attendant, and a number of extra hands to assist
the
Emerald her off. Yesterday morning, before daylight, t
Emerald tender, with Mr. Biddlecombe, master of the flag;"
ship, who had been employed in sounding for, and huoyo3e
off, a channel through which to heave the Sphynx off, re.
turned into harbour. The Drake lighter, with about 15 OP', of her machinery, including her funnel and steam-pipes,
also came in in the night. They brought news that IT
floated on Saturday, and was hove out about twenty-
The weather, which has been hitherto remarkably faivour;
able, with the wind northerly and north-west, chnge'
yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock,a to e
fresh breeze from W.S.W., with rain, which continued
during the day. Should this last, we much fear all hope °I
saving the vessel must be abandoned. There are strong
symptoms at present of an approaching westerly or ecntli-
westerly gale.
The Echo returned this morning from the wreck, and re-
ports that the rollers having set in on the change of 'Pin"'
stopping near the wreck was out of the question. She lost
two punts or camels, and also reports that the wreck has
been driven back in shore, and broadside on, so that there
are but faint hopes now of saving even the hull. The Echo
is coaling, preparatory to making another trip ; and the
Drake has gone down to pick up what she can of the ons'
chinery, &c.
Mr. Bellamy, the assistant-master-attendant of this dock' yard, has gone down again this afternoon in the Echo to the wreck of the Sphynx. We learn that the two "camels
intended to go under the sponsons of the steamer, iierohe
adrift on Saturday night, from the ring bolts drawing, but-
have
since been picked up and taken into Yarmouth Roods.
By a letter from the Cormorant steam-sloop. Captsi!
Gordon, on the Pacific station, we are informed she left Nisqually, Pnget's Sound, on the 16th of September, for the
Straits of Georgia, and the northern coast of Vancouv'er's
Island, in search of coal, and returned to Nisqually on the
7th of October. having found and shipped 60 tons of ex ce!"
lent quality. She left Nisqeally on the 10th of October, 111 company with the Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, and arri red
at Fisgard harbour, Vancouver's Island, on the follow ing
day, and on the 13th proceeded, still in company with the
frigate, through the Straits of San Juan de Fuca to the
westward of Cape Flattery, and then returned to Fort
Victoria, Camoosan Harbour, Vancouver's Island, to winter.
Mr. C..N. Frampton, the paymaster and purser of the
Cormorant, died at Nisqually on the 30th of August. Mr.
W. W. I'arminter,
clerk of the Collingwood, is appointed to
the death vacancy. The Fisgard experienced a heavy
thunderstorm whilst lying at Nisqually, on the evening or
the 26th of September last, during the prevalence of which
her mainmast was struck by lightning; the electric nem
passed down the conductor (she is fitted with Harris's), and
by it out on each side of the ship, causing a tremendous ex.-
plosion, but no damage was sustained either by the mast or
the ship. Two persons were struck down by the violence of
the shock. It is considered the conductors saved the shill.

The Marquis of Northampton has accepted the
office of Patron of the College of Preceptors.
