NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTsxOUTTI, Tittatsnar.—The Lords of the Admiralty
have cancelled the appointment of Mr. James Chimmo, the
paymaster and purser of the Alarm, 26, Captain Frankland,
having doubtless considered the impropriety of returning him
to a ship where he has received such unprecedented ill-treat-
ment; and given him notice, through the Commander- in-
Chief at this port, that he is to hold himself in readiness to
receive another appointment. We cannot too highly eulo-
gize such an exhibition of noble and prompt justice as this
act of the Ellenborough Admiralty ; and, we doubt not, but
that the appointment about to be conferred upon Mr.Chimmo
will be one which will repay him for all the expense and
agony of mind he has bean so wantonly subjected to under
the late disgraceful circumstances at Bermuda. A larger
ship and a better station than his last is clearly but just to
expect, and will convey a practical lesson to flag and other
officers to respect and not to abuse the power vested in them,
when from under the eye of the powers at home.
The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Williams, arrived at
Spithead this morning from Cork, to fit and prepare for the
reception of Ibrahim Pacha and suite, whom she will convey
from this port, en route to Egypt, on his Highness's departure
from this country.
The Pembroke, 72, one of the advanced ships, has had her
foremast taken out this morning, it being rotten. It has been
in her nearly two years, and was made in 1838. The Pem •
broke was docked immediately afterwards to have her copper
examined.
The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant-Commanding John J.
M'Donell, arrived this morning from off Brighton, to recruit
water and provisions.
A board, comprising ;General Webber Smith, Director-
General of Royal Artillery ; Colonel Cardew, Commandant
of the Royal Engineers in this garrison ; and Colonel Cock-
burn, Royal Artillery, arrived here yesterday to select a pro-
per site for a new laboratory, in case the present one (adja-
cent to the works of the new steam basin, in course of con-
struction in this dockyard) should be required to be removed
to extend the said works.
We were in hopes that amongst the number of officers
Lord Ellenborough has been pleased to consider as deserving
of promotion, would have been found the First Lieutenant of
her Majesty's ship Vanguard—an officer who has been almost
uninterruptedly employed since his promotion to the rank of
Lieutenant, which bears date November, 1826. In addition
to this officer's length of service, is to be mentioned the fact
of his having been First Lieutenant of three line-of-battle
ships, viz., the Talavera, Pembroke, and Vanguard, twice
in the last-named ship. We still hope these facts may draw
his Lordship's attention, and that his last signature to a
commander's commission, ere he leaves office, will be the
promoting to that rank of the above most-esteemed and de-
serving officer.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office from the Governors of New South Wales and New
Zealand.
