NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

SIR CHARLES NAI'IER'S SQUADRON.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.--The arrival of the packet
enables us to continue our details of the movements of
the above squadron :

" After the last dispatch, per Recruit (on the 4th
inst.), the squadron exercised shifting topsails and
courses. In this exercise the Queen was the
smartest, being first completed.; the others nearly
alike.

" Oct, 5 and 6. Very wet weather. No move-
ments.

" Oct. 7.—At ten, A.m, the squadron unmoored
and hove short. At three, P.M., weighed, with a
light breeze fro,in the eastward. The packet from
Gibraltar arrived. The squadron consisted of the
St. Vincent (flag), Caledonia, Queen, Canopus, Ven-
gPance, Trincomalee, Amphitrite, Sidon, Odin,
Avenger and Dragon steam-frigates. At 3.30, pad,
brought up on the starboard tack to a breeze from
the westward; the Trincomalee was signalled to
take the lead ; the steamers, under sail only, beating
down the Tagus with the rest of the squadron—to
shore spectator as magnificent a sight as any could
witness ; so fine a sight has not been seen in these
waters for many a day. At five, P.m. the squadron
had all anchored off the small town Of Caxias, the
steamers taking up their berths in shore of the line-
of-battle ships.
_ .

" Bth.—This morning the squadron exercised firing
shot and shell at targets placed on the sandbanks on
the south side. At two P. m. the Vengeance, Amphi-
trite, and Trincomalee, sailed with the Canopus on a
cruise, under the orders of Captain Moresby, of the
Canopus, to try rate of sailing—Amphitrite and Trin-
comalee especially. It is not known how long they
will remain out, but it is expected they will rejoin
the Admiral in five or six days. The shell practice
to-day from all ships has been very good.
" To-morrow (weather permitting) all the Marines
and small-arm men are to be landed for exercise and
grand field manoeuvring, at which all the Portuguese
nobility are to be present.
" The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown,
sailed on the morning of the 7th for the Cape of Good
Hope. A Spanish corvette sailed about the same
time."

The Helena, 16, was removed from dock this morn-
ing, and is again ready for commission.
The Orestes, 18, was docked in the room of the
Helena, to be 'repaired for re-commissioning.
The .2Eolus, 42, lately employed as a meal depot on
the coast of Scotland, was paid off yesterday.
CHATHAM, OCT. 15.—The Hermes, three guns,
steam-sloop, Commander E. W. Budge, came into
harbour yesterday afternoon to be paid off, having
been employed on the North American station and
West Indies. She was built at Portsmouth in 18351
and is of 220-horse power.
The Bonetta brigantine in dock, fitting for sea, is
to have a complement of sixty. five men ; and the
Sealark, 10 guns, in dock, making good her defects
and fitting for commission, is to have a complement of
eighty men.

The Diligence; naval transport, Martin master,
sails to-morrow for Portsmouth and Devonport Dock•
yards.

- The Rochester, Sedgwick master, arrived on the
13th instant from Devonport, and sailed yesterday for
Sheerness.

Mr. John Garratt, master of the Dove barge, after
a servitude of fifty years, is superannuated on a pen-

sawyer, who some months since had the misfortuaßt°
break a leg in the execution of his duty, is super'
annuated on a pension of 201. per annum.

BURGLARY AT BOROUGH FEN, NEAR CRowLAIII9'
—Between one and two o'clock on Saturday morning'
last, the dwelling-house of Mrs. Hilliam was entered by
three ruffians. They obtained an entrance by taking et_l,,
the pantry window, and proceeded up stairs to her boo
room door, which was locked and Lotted. The noir,
made by forcing open the door awakened her grand
daughter, who was sleeping with Mrs. Hilliam (an 17
firm lady, and exceedingly deaf). The burglars, woke:
having gained entrance into the room, and having "
lighted candle and cudgels with them, began to pullLthne
clothes off the bed. The young woman screamed, svue
one of the fellows seized her, and swore he would ells
her throat if she did not hold her noise. The pulling
off the bed clothes awoke the old lady, and made her
conscious of her awful situation • she at once got out Uf
bed and ran down stairs, with the intention of alarinill
the neighbours near. The fellows soon missing the °i
lady, one of them followed, and seizing her by the throat
as sho was unlocking the front door, threw her down'
swearing that he would murder her if she made 0137
alarm ; and there he held her until the others had
dered the bedroom of sixteen sovereigns and sour'
articles of value.—Lincoln Mercury.
FIRE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—A fire occurred 011
Thursday, on the North Midland Railway, betwtrh
Ambergate and Wingfield stations, to the train Nv."co
0
left London at a quaVer-past six o'clock A.M. The fire
was discovered by the engine-driver, the train being
the
rather a long one, and the guard at the far end of I
train. It was observed first after leaving the tuna!:
between Wingfield and Ambergate; had it happened
there, it is fearful to contemplate the result. As it woo
the guard had great difficulty to get the passengers to
keep their seats, and by the time the train was stopped
