NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. - The Fury first-class
steam-sloop, of 6 guns, 1,123 tons, and 515 horse-
power, Commander J. Willcox, returned to Spithead
last evening after her trial trip round the Isle of
Wight. She got under weigh yesterday morning at
twelve o'clock, and tried her rate of speed at the
measured mile in Stoke's Bay. At starting she made
eight knots ; the second hour she went nine, and the
third hour ten knots, at which latter speed she con-
tinued to work during her circuit of the island, which
she made (upwards of sixty miles) in six hours, hav-
ing anchored at Spithead a few minutes before six
o'clock. She had in six months' provisions under
hatches, fifty tons of water, twelve months' stores,
375 tons of coals in bunkers, and the fullest equip-
, ment for her complement of 160 men. She carries
one 68-pounder long gun astern, and one in the bow,
on pivot slides and carriages, and four long
32-pounders, on Hardy's slides and carriages, all on
the upper deck. She drew yesterday 14 feet 11 inches
forward, and 15 feet 7 inches aft. Outside the Wight,
in a sea way, she was perfectly easy, very dry, and
proved herself in every way quite equal to all that
had been expected of her. Captain Willcox has
carried out, in his vessel, several very va-
luable improvements ; amongst others, she is fitted
with circular hatches over her engine-room, which in
warm climates throw open the whole area of the
engine-room to the currents of the deck, rendering
this part of the ship as well ventilated 'and almost as
cool as the captain's cabin or gun-room ; this plan also
affords the most perfect security in a gale of wind,
preventing the shipment of seas in the engine-room,
and not in any way obstructing the clear look out
from stern to stem ; her hammocks are stowed the
length of the paddle-boxes in berthings fitted just
under the bridge, instead of around the funnel, as in
other ships, which gives more room in consequence
around that object. She is also fitted with the new
slides and pivots for her revolving guns, which during
the three or four times of working them at quarters
have been found to answer most admirably. The Odin
is the only other vessel fitted in a similar way. The
engines of the Fury are perfectly new, by Rigby, of
Flintshire, with all the latest improvements, the whole
being of wrought iron. After two or three days'
coals have been consumed her speed is expected to
exceed twelve knots, increasing as she lightens. A.
spare set of brasses is being cast for her revolving guns
to take away with her. She leaves to-morrow, after
post time, for Plymouth, whence she will proceed in
about a week for Rio direct and the East Indies,
taking out dispatches for Lord Howden and Commo-
dore Sir Thomas Herbert, and letters and supernu-
meraries for the squadrons in the River Plate and the
East Indies. She is well manned, admirably officered,
and most ably commanded. No ship could leave a
British port under more favourable auspices. She
will most likely be absent from home five years.
The Geyser steam sloop, Commander F. T. Brown,
is ordered to St. Helena and the Cape, and will be
ready to leave by the end of this week.
The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and the
Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. L. Warren, got under
weigh after dinner this day, and proceeded to join
Sir C. Napier's squadron, in which they will be well
tried before proceeding to their destinations—the
former to relieve the Actaeon on the coast of Africa,
and the latter to the West Indies. They call at Ply-
mouth for letters.

The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, sailed last night
after dark for Woolwich to be paid off, and fitted as
a depot receiving-ship, in lieu of the William and
Mary yacht.
The Bellerophon, 78, fitting alongside the jetty for
a troop-ship, hauled off this afternoon to allow the
Howe, 120, to come alongside to-morrow to fit for
the reception of the Queen Dowager and suite.
The Vernon Indiaman, 1,000 tons, Captain Voss,
for the Cape and Madras, due nearly a week ago, only
arrived this morning from the river. Sir Harry Smith
will embark to-morrow, and she will sail, it is ex-
pected, immediately afterwards.
Woomvicx.—The Caradoc new iron steam-vessel,
built by Ditchburn and Mare, and fitted with enginesby Seward and Co., went down the river on Friday
last on an experimental trial, and between the Nore
and Mouse lights made a speed of nearly 17 miles an
hour.
The Onyx steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Robert Mudge, arrived at Woolwich, from Dover, on
Friday, and will be taken up the river to Deptford
to-morrow to have her engines repaired by the Messrs.
Penn.
The Antelope s team -vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Smyth, is under orders to leave this port on Thurs-
day for the Mediterranean. She takes out a very
handsome carriage and a landau, with several beauti-
ful carpets, and other presents, for the Bey of Tunis.
It has hitherto been usual to secure similar articles
from liability to damage by sea-water, by packing
them in cases lined with tin and soldered, but the
authorities here having expressed an opinion that
cases covered with marine glue would be as effectual
and less expensive, their Lordships at the Admiralty
ordered Mr. Jeffery to proceed to Woolwich and apply
his marine glue to the cases. The application of the
marine glue to this purpose is made at one-fourth the
expense of tin cases, and the canvass may be subse-

quently applied to other similar purposes with On\
additional coating, the priming being equally goodo
t
when first applied. About rive hours on Saturday
and a few hours to-day, have sufficed to prepare the
cans.
