NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The hopes hitherto entertained of
saving the hull of the Sphynx have been abandoned. Last
night the Scourge, Commander Caffin, Rattler, Commander
Moorman, and the Echo steam-tug, the latter with the
mooring lump is tow, returned from Freshwater Bay with
the news that the grand effort to move her yesterday at high
water had failed, a tremendous roller having burst in, carried
away purchases, warps, and tow-ropes, and thrown the vessel
her full length farther in towards the cliff, slewing her round
so as to bring her head rather towards the sea, and giving
her a careen to the shore. This morning the Dragon, Cap-
tain Ramsay, and Porcupine, Lieutenant Moorman returned.
All the working parties, including millwrights, shipwrights,
riggers, seamen, and marines have been left behind oh, shore
to endeavour to save the engines and stores. This is possible,
if the weather remains moderate; but we suggest that hand-
some extra pay should be given to the persons employed, as
it is a service of great risk.
The Dragon, Captain Ramsay, and the Scourge, Com-
mander J. C. Caffin, sailed this afternoon for the westward—
it is supposed for Bristol and Cork.
The Rochester lighter, with stores from Plymouth, arrived
to-day.
The Crocodile, Lieutenant Protheroe, was towed to Spit
head to-day,
In Haitour.—St. Vincent, Victory, and Excellent; Sidon,
Porcup',ne, and Echo steamers.
At Spithead. —Rattler, hfutine, and Crocodile.
In the Basin.—Edinburgh, Myrtle, and Kestrel.
In Dock.—Prince Regent, Victoria, and Albert, Ajax,
Leander, Champion, Serpent, and Dauntless.
The Dockyard hands returned this afternoon in the Pearl,
Cowes packet, leaving their officers behind to wait favour-
able events.

CHATHAM, JAN. 20.—The Semarang, 26, Captain Sir F.
Belcher, was paid off on the 18th inst., and was taken into
dock on the following day, to ascertain if she had sustained
any particular damage in the heavy gale she encountered
near the chops of the Channel the day before Christmas-day.
It is discovered that her gripe had been knocked away ; also
part of her false keel and main keel on the starboard side, a
little abaft the midships, and part of the false keel at the
stern. The copper is much worn and torn off in places, so
that she will require the bottom to be re-coppered.
The Warspite, 50 guns, fitted for commis-ion, was put out
of dock on the 18th inst., and taken to Gillingham-reach, to
be laid up in ordinary for the present.
The Daphne, 20, Captain Onslow, was to have been paid
off yesterday, but owing to the Wildfire steam vessel, bring-
ing up the intelligence that a court-martial is to be held at
Portsmouth on the captain, Captain Onslow, the attendance
of several of the officers and crew is required, and they left
Chathatn on Thursday morning for the above-named place.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—At
Commodoreon Wednesday, a3tlllitthweasmraesyolinveedetitnogp,osatnpdontehatht etheleeenteiovneroyf
the meeting of the members at the Thatched House Tavern,
member should be allowed to vote either by letter, by being
present, or by giving his name to one of the candidates.
THE LACE TRADE—No change can be noted
here. With the exception of a few parcels of fancies to
assort stocks, operations have been confined to the supply of
positive orders ; which are yet small, considering we are en-
tered on the usual period for getting spring supplies. All
parties are waiting the coarse of public events and a change
in the weather. The continued fr.st- stops up communication
to the northern European ports, as well as prevents- purchases
for the home markets. Cotton wool is lower in Liverpool,
and the general Manchester market is dull, yet prices of
fine yarns have not yet receded, nor is there any symptom of
decline; the supply of Sea Island wool not being equal to the
usual consumption, and the quantity at any time in the
market never being such as to induce speculation. The sup-
ply of Sea Island is usually from 25,000 to 30,000 bales;
this year it is only 18,000 to 20,000 bales. The makers of
goods requiring double warps are much interested in the
progress of the legal proceedings in the case of " Fisher v,
Oliver and Atkin."

HEALTH OF LONDON ASSOCIATION.—SANATORY
ImrnovEmENTs.—Yesterday a numerously-attended meeting
of the medical and other members of the above association
was held at the London Tavern. All the speakers during
the evening's discussion agreed, that the Bill introduced by
Lord Lincoln was extremely defective, and not sufficiently
comprehensive to remedy the existing evils, and it was of
the utmost importance that there should be a conference
with the Government, in order that their (the association's)
labours and suggestions for an enlarged and improved sys-
tem of sanatory measures, founded upon indisputable evi-
dence, might be introduced and adopted. A resolution was
then unanimously carried—" That a deputation should wait
on the Secretary for the Home Department with the suggea..
tions and evidence referred to."
THE CALEDONIAN CHURCH, HOLLOWAY. -- 011
Thursday last the Presbytery of the Church of Scotland in
Lond,in opened for Divine service this neat place of worship.
The Rev. A. Black, the moderator, began the service and the
Rev. Dr. Cumming preached. A truly interesting sight was
the presence of the children of the Caledonian Asylum, in
their picturesque Highland dress, who filled the end gallery
of the church on this occasion. The Duke of Buccleuch,
Su
Charles Forbes, and others, have subscribed munificent sums
towards the purchase of the property, which is freehold, on
condition that none but a clergyman of the Established
Church cf Scotland shall be its minister, and that sufficient
accommodation be reserved for the children of the Caledonian
Asylum. The Rev. J. Tod Brown, formerly one of the in-
cumbents or tht! Aui.ey Church, Duuiferuline, is 1ik,13, to be
apooluted minister of the church.
NATIONAL GALLERY.---We learn with much regret
that Mr. Eastlake, RA., has resigned his appointment in the
National Gallery.—Builder.
