NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORIFMOLTII, MONDAY.—The Swedish corvette which
arrived yesterday proved to be the Nnjaden, of 16 guns, com-
mended by Captain Ehrenstam, K.S., last from Cadiz. She
yesterday saluted the flag on the King's Bastion with 21
gnus, which was returned by the Lieutenant-Governor of the
garrison (Lord Dederick Fitzclarence„ G.C.H.) with a like
nun•ber. This morning she saluted the Commander-in-Chief
with 17 guns, which was acknowledged by the St. Vincent
(flag ship), Captain Milne, with the same number. Captain
Ehrenstam has charge of a number of young Swedish gen-
tlemen, whom he is educating practically fur service in the
Swedish royal navy; observation and instruct ion, therefore, is
the object of the vessel's anchoring in our port. She saluted
also yesterday the Swedish Vice-Consul at this port, M. Van-
derbergh, who has this morning introduced the Captain and
his staff to Sir Charles Ogle, and conducted them over the
dockyard, and afterwards presented them to Lord Frederick
Fit zelarence, the Governor, who received them with his usual
urbanity, and invited .them to an inspection of that gallant
regiment the 43d Light Infantry, under command of Lieu-
tenant Forlong, K.H., which took place on Southsea-common,
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. To-morrow the Swedish officers
and Vice-Consul dine with the Commander-in-Chief. Prince
Oscar' is daily expected itithe Eugenie frigate, accompanied
by the brig Nordcnskold. The Najaden is ordered 10 await
their arrival. Sir Charle Ogle has deputed 111 Vandenberg',
to invite the Prince (who is the third son of the King of
Sweden) on his arrival to make the Admiralty-house his
home during his sojourn at this port.

The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Dacres, is having
her paddle-box boats, which have hitherto been carried
amidships on deck, fitted to the paddle-boxes in the usual
way. We are glad to recognise an evidence of the Admi.
ralty's orders with regard to this all-important matter being
enfurced, so that ships may not again be sent to sea without
the means of providing for the safety of those on board, as
has been the case in too many instances hitherto. The fact
is deposed to by the officers of the late Thunderbolt, '
that but for the reliance which was placed in her paddle-
box boats when she was wrecked, the loss of life would have
been awful.

The Geyeer steam-sloop, Commander Brown, is ordered to
be employed for the present as a steam-tranrpott, in lieu of
the Dee, which vessel is to have new boilers, and to be
thoroughly overhauled and repaired at Woolwich.
Commander Itaert Jones (1844) died at Southsea on
Friday last. Commander Jones was the only lieutenant on
board the Victory at the time the Queen unexpectedly
visited that ship in this harbour, by which casualty he ob-
tained his promotion after holding the commission of a
lieutenant upwards of 32 years. He has not been employed
as a commander, and has left five motherless boys without a
farthing in the world to provide for them, and they are
totally unable to provide for themselves, the eldest being only
13 years of age.

MR. O'CoriNELL.—Mr. O'Connell embarked onWed-
n esdav last, at Marseilles,' in the Lombardo steam-packet,
for Clvita Vecchia, accompanied by his youngest son, his
chaplain, his own physician, and Dr. Lacour, a physician of
Lyons, who will continue to attend him to Florence. Mr.
O'Connell's present intention is said to be to go immediately
on to Rome; but after having been presented to the Pope,
and reposed himself for a few days, to proceed to Florence,
where he will make a prolonged residence. His health is
said to be sensibly improved, as the day before his embarka-
trion he was able to go in a carriage to the Botanical Gardens
