AVAL INTELLIGENCE. .
• PonZtouTit, THURSDAY.—'I ho Rey hard screw steam-
sloop, dornmandi rP. Craeraft, went .out to-day to try her
speed on the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The result,
as the mean of eight trials, four up and four down the
measured knot, was 7.050 knots per
.hour, 55 revolu-
tions, and 12.5 steam; she drew 11 feet forward, and 12
feet 5i inches aft; toil( two minutes to get the screw up,
and I to ship it. The trip was considered a highly
sa-
tisfactoi•y one.
The Netley tender sailed this morning on her return
to Devonvirt.
Sixty-eight convicts came into Clarence-yard to day
by her Majesty's branch railway, and were immediately
mbarked in a flat bottomed boat with un escort of Ma-
rines, and placed for safety on board the Stirling Castle
convict; hulk. They are to proceed to-morrow, in the
Driver' steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson, for
Portland, where they are to be emp!o) ed in the construc-
tion of the breakwater for the harbour of refuge intended
to be established there.
The Aid lighter sailed to-day for the eastward, with
stores. l

The Goodwill lighter arrived today with stores from
Devon tort.
The Nautilus transport is ordered to proceed to
Deptford.
Wind south; fresh breezes and cloudy weather.
PLYkorru, Nov. 22.—filer Majesty's ship Caledonia,
Captain Thomas W. Carter, has struck her topmasts and
lower jards for the winter.

It i; very generally reported that her Majesty's able
and Ohre harbour-master for this port, Mr. William
Walk ,is to be appointed master attendant at Sheer-
ness Dockyard, and that the duties of harbour-master
here are to be performed by the assistant-master's at-
tendants. •

Heavy gales from the south-west have prevailed for
the Nit three or four days. On the evening of the 20th,
when blowing hard from that quarter, the round-sterned
schooner Thetis, belonging to Preston, from Dartmouth,
with limestone, bound to the Bristol Channel, was run
into the Sound, and anchored, improperly, too near the
shore in Batten-bay. The master, mate, and two hands
-left heir in charge of -the boy, and with the ship's boat
endeavoured to find assistance. Fortunately Jas. Hyde,
first-class pilot No. 2, had previously heard of her dan-
gerous position, and, notwithstanding the state of the
weather, boarded her with nine hands. They found that
the vessel's bottom was beating heavily against the rocks,
and to save her hull, as the gale was increasing, they
were compelled immediately to cut away her foremast.
By the help of a kedge and the ship's anchor she was
then hauled to the westward, and taken safely into Sut-
ton Pool.

Last night the brigantine Plover, Captain Christie,
from Newcastle, with coal, for Palermo, put back to this
port with loss of mainmast, which was cut away twenty-
five miles west of Scilly, to save the ship in a storm.
Wind, S.W., blowing hard, with rain.
