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

Thp 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 3esterday, 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, hearing dispitches for Sir
G. H. Seymour, G.C.8., and Vice Admiral Sir W. Par-
ker. lie was immediately put on board, and the Bull-
dog sailed with him a little before four o'clock this
morning for Lisbon.
Every exertion is being used to prepare the St. Vin-
cent for sea with the most convenient dispatch. Ru-
mour assigns hyr 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 eircum,tances,
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
