NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—AdmiraI Sir Charles Ogle,
the Commander-in-chief, left to-day at noon, on a short
leave of absence, to attend the annual meeting of the
subscribers to the Royal Naval School, of which he is
president.
The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Williams, came
into this harbour this afternoon to have her engines
and boilers repaired.
The Eurydice, 26, Captain T. Elliott, arrived this
morning from the Channel squadron. The Eurydice
has had eleven trials with the Spartan since leaving
England, and in every one she has had great advantage
both in speed and going to windward; and she left the
squadron of evolution without a dissenting voice. The
ships stood thus as to trial:—
Eurydice, first; Spartan, second; Raleigh, third;
Constance, fourth; Vanguard, fifth; Superb, sixth;
Canopus, seventh; St. Vincent and Queen, nearly
equal; Albibn, Rodney, Hibernia, and Trafalgar, next.
Steamers.—Rattler seems the fastest and best; Cy-
clops, second; Polyphemus, third; Terrible, fourth; Re-
tribution, far behind.
As regards the Eurydice these results must surprise
every person interested in naval architecture; when it is
considered that the Eurydice (drawing two feet less
water than Spartan in sailing trim, and one foot mean
draught on even keel, and also stowing her stores and
provisions better) has without doubt proved herself the
most weatherly and fastest on all points, not only beating
the Spartan but the whole squadron of evolution, con-
sisting of vessels second to none in the service, we feel it
must reflect the highest praise on her builder, Admiral
Hon. G. Elliot, and her captain (no doubt one of the
best ship sailors in the service), who can thus combine
speed, stowage, and first rate weatherly qualities, with a
light draught of water and one of the most beautiful
models above water in the service.

The Acheron steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Dun-
lop, arrived yesterday from Woolwich, and came into
harbour this afternoon to embark troops and stores fur
Ireland.

The Belvidera, 38, was brought down from her moor-
ings yesterday to be coppered and jury-rigged, to be
sent to the north of Scotland as a store ship for the re-
lief of the prevailing distress in that quarter.
The Hamoaze, navy lighter, arrived on Sunday from
Devonport, with stores.
The Sinbad, navy lighter, arrived yesterday morning
from the eastern depots, with stores.
The Falmouth, navy lighter, sailed this morning with
stores for Plymouth, whence she is to proceed, in COlll-
- with the Diligence, naval transport, for Malta,
with provisions and stores.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. s.—Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent,
120, Captain John Sheppard, bearing the flag, red at the
main, of Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, came in
this morning at seven o'clock, under close-reefed fore-
topsail and double-reefed mainsail. The wind is blow-
ing a strong gale from the S.S.E. The St. Vincent
dropped anchor inside the western arm of the Break-
water. She is bound to Portsmouth, but put in here
through strong contrary winds, and left her Majesty's
ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Henry J. Leeke, in the
Channel, yesterday afternoon. At eight o'clock the St.
Vincent saluted the flag of Port Admiral Sir John West,
which was duly acknowledged, and at eleven o'clock she
exchanged a similar compliment with his Imperial Bra-
zilian Majesty's frigate Constitucional.
The Diligence storeship, from the eastward, put in On
Sunday morning, bound with stores for Gibraltar.
The Athol transport came in yesterday from Wool-
wich, with one company of Sappers and Miners and one
company of Artillery for Bermuda, and one company of
Artillery for Barbadoes.

The Yeterel packet came up from Falmouth on Satur-
day to refit. _

In the Sound—Her Majesty's ships St. Vincent, 120;
America, 50; Recruit, 12; the Athol troop-ship and
Diligence store-ship; his Imperial Brazilian Majesty's
frigate Constitutional, and the Hon. East India Com-
pany's steam-frigate Moozuffer, besides several merchant
ships, some of which have received damage.
The heavy gale, with the high tide last night, did con-
siderable injury to Mr. Gil!s' Millbay Pier. The outer
or southern landing platform has been forced up, and the
horizontal beams which supported the stage have been in
some places broken, and in others, through the strength
of the waves, have injured the outer wall in which their,
ends were lodged. About ten tons of coals belonging to
the Cork Steam Packet Company, some empty barrels
and packing•cases, &c., were washed off the pier. The
piles which support the outer part of the platform ap-
pear to be uninjured. Fears are entertained of further
damage next tide, and precautions have been adopted to
meet any emergency.
Three o'Clock, P.M.—Her Majesty's ship Queen has
not yet arrived.

The Buckinghamshire East Indiaman, 1,500 tons, has
just brought up in the Sound.

ALARM ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW
RAILWAT.—On Monday last, the passengers by the
train that leaves Glasgow for Airdrie at a quarter-past
twelve were thrown into a state of great alarm by several
of the carriages being thrown off the rails. Happily the
train was moving rather slowly at the time, and it was
the last four carriages that were thrown oft A part of
the railway was torn up ; but with this exception, and
the snapping of some of the connecting chains, and the
slight concussion caused by the accident, no damage was
sustained. Two of , the carriages, which could not be
got on the line, were left behind, and after the &lay of
half an hour, the train was enabled to proceed.--,Edin.
