NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Hampshire TelegraplO
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 10.—Th e Great Liverpool
steamer, Mr. Engledue, Commander, arrived at the
Mutherbank, on Monday morning, having left Malta pn
the 25th ult. The. following morning her mail, which
had previously been landed at Falmouth, was delivered
here—a clear loss of twelve hours by her going into a
Western port. Col. Hodges, the late Consul at Alexan-
dria, and 47 other passengers, are on board, and will re-
main in quarantine until perfecting 21 days from Alex-
andria, before she is admitted to pratique. It is quite evi-
dent the French are playing a deep game in the upper
part of the Mediterranean, but they will be well watched,
and our fleet was concentrating, to be prepared for any
ev,m t. Admiral S irW. Parker found, on his arrival at Malts.,
that in his command in the Chinese Seas he is to abide
by the directions of Sir Henry Pottinger, and, further,
the whole of our India naval force is under the directions
of the Governor-General of India. The Great Liver-
pool passed the Princess Charlotte and Castor on the
evening of the 29th, about 90 miles east of Gibraltar.
The Thunderer, 84, and Lizard steamer, were at Gib-
raltar. The Hastings had sailed thence for England a
few days previous. Orders were received at Gibraltar to
detain her on the station, about three hours after her
departure. Sir John Ommanney was about to hoist his
flag in the Howe. The Britannia had been re-surveyed
and found perfectly sound ; a few of her bolts, from
which the wood had shrunk, had been re-clinched, and
held perfectly tight. The Gorgon steamer was at Alex-
andria, and the Medea was going up to her with a supply
of provisions. The ships left at Malta were the Britan-
nia, Howe, Vanguard, Rodney, Ganges, Cyclops, Hecate,
Acheron, Alecto, and Polyphemus.
The Atholl and Sapphire troop ships, the former com-
manded by Mr. Bellamy, the latter by Mr. Cole, arrived
on Monday from Quebec, with the 73d regiment ort
board, which has disembarked at Gosport, and there
gone into quarters. When these ships left Quebec, the
Apollo was daily expected there with the 68th regiment
from the West Indies, and she was then to bring home
the 24th. The 34th regiment was ready to embark, and
would come home in the Cornwall and Somersetshire
transports ; the Prince Regent and Boyne would em-
bark a third regiment, and the Abercrombie Robinson a
fourth. The Atholl and Sapphire are ordered to refit.
The Seagull packet arrived at Falmouth on Monday
from the Windward and Leeward Islands, with a
freight of 80,000 dollar.

the previous day,\for Cadiz.
The Devastation steam• vessel was launched at Wool-

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION.---We have
occasionally heard of a turnip of such luxuriance of
growth, that a hare, a brace of partridges, or a pheasant,
has conveniently found stowage within its ample sub-
stance. We have not yet heard of the carcase of a
sheep being similarly accommodated. Such, however,
might literally be the case with respect to a turnip
now in the possession of a clergyman near Faken-
ham, in Norfolk, which is certainly one of the most
extraordinary vegetable productions ever witnessed
in this country. The turnip in question was sent
to the above gentleman by a relative in Aus-
tralia, upon whose farm it was grown from seed
supplied from England. It affords a surprising instance
of the rich fertility of the soil and geniality of climate in
that region, and, monster a's' it is, is by no means an un-
usual production there. It was grown in Maria Island,
Van Diemen's Land, and carefully packed in strong brine,
by which it has encountered the long voyage in a good
state of preservation. Its Weight is 841b5., girth 5 feet
2 inches. When first taken up, it weighed 921b5., thus
showing a subsequent loss of Sibs. Upon its receipt in
this country it was carefully.. unpacked in the presence
of several agriculturists, and immediately we7glled and
measured, giving the resulti. above stated. Its consist-
ence is solid, although there are now slight symytlms of
decay. Incredible as this statement may appear, the
