NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

(From the Ilanipshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 7.—The Cornwall transport sailed
on Tuesday for the eastward
The Melville, 72, Hon. Capt. R. S. Dundas, arrived
this afternoon from China. She brings no news, as we
knew of her having.quitted for England, by the overland
mail. • The Sa.marang, 28, Captain Seott, is also on her
way home ; she arrived at Mauritius on the 29th June,
and would leave in a few days . . .
The Oriental steam-ship, Capt. soy, arrived here late
Wednesday last, from Alexandria. She has made a very
quick passage, being Only 14 -days from Alexandria
to Falmouth, where she landed the India and Malta
mails on Tuesday afternoon, and then proceeded
to this place to perform her quarantine. The plague
is fast subsiding in the city " of Alexandria, and a
case but occasionally occurring ; she has but thirteen
passengers—viz., 12 from Alexandria, and one from
Malta. Names of the passengers arc—Mr. and Mrs.
Waghorn, Mr. Innis, Capt. Yule, Mr. Dudgeon, Captain
Morris, Mr. Wilbraham, Mr. Eggue; Major Harvey, Mr.
and Mrs. Greene, Mr. Bird, and Mr. Nigroponte. Sailed
from Alexandria 20th July, Malta 94th, and Gibraltar
29th. We cannot help , remarking that the above ship
was at the Motherbank 24 hours before her mail com-
menced delivering in this town. We say commenced,
for from want of sufficient strength in the Falmouth
Post-office, or from some detention on the road, the de"
livery in these towns occupied three days. This ought
not to be.
By the, arrival of the Crane packet, from the West
Indies, we learn that Captain Leith, of the SeringaPa-
tam, was at Barbadoes on June 17, expecting orders to
leave Carlisle Bay to take command of the Jamaica
station, Commodore Douglas having -sailed on June 30
for Halifax, in her Majesty's brig Pilot, Captain Ram"
say, taking with him also the officers and ship's com-
pany, late of the Skipjaelc schooner, to inquire into the
recent loss of that vessel on the Caymanas, where she
was left by the Hornet a perfect wreck. The officers
and crew of the Hecla steamer, continued to be et.'"
tremely afflicted ; in June the clerk in charge died. The
Rover, Capt. Keele, sailed from Carlisle Bay, July 3, for
Para, to spend the hurricane months. The leading
topic of conversation in the way of news, is, the .0"
isting dreadful disease among the troops at Jamaica, by
which a considerable number of our soldiers are perish-
ing daily. A correspondent writes, The sickness
Fort Augusta, we regret to 'say, , continues. °II
Sunday'no less than five burials took place. An order
• for the ranoval of the detaChment arrived during the
day, but an officer was the only person who could coat-
ply, all the rest of the detachment being already in the
hospital."
The Thunderer and Jaseur were at': Gibraltar on the
22d ult. The Espoir arrived at Lisbon on the 25th. the
Jascur sailed thence for a cruise on the 20th. 25th;

are appointed to her.
The Indus, 78, Captain Sir James Stirling, sailed
op
Wednesday for the Mediterranean.
The Vernon, frigate, was at Cadiz on the 28th 111,
having arrived there in eight days from this port.
The Lily, 16, was at Mauritius on the 28th May. it
The Lizard steamer was- at Gibraltar on the 17th lu •
The Heron, yacht, Captain Ponsonby, was also there.
The Hindostan, 78, was launched from Pippo°
Dock-yard on Monday lait.
Rear-Admiral Sir John Ommanney will hoist his fl,g
in the Powerful, as she is fitted for a flag, and the Bo
tannia will come to England forthwith. There seem
but but little doubt that Admiral Sir George Cockburn
be entrusted with the Mediterranean command.
