NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

-
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 2.—SIR CHARLES NAPIEVS
SQUADRON.—The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, ar-
rived last evening from Plymouth, and joined the St,
Vincent, Prince Regent, and Amphion at Spithead. The
Blenheim, 56, screw line of battle ship, Captain Chads,
will join on Tuesday or Wednesday; the Frolic and
Helena, 16, Commanders Vansittart and Smith, are to
be ready and join tomorrow; the Dragon steam frigate,
Captain Hall, came into harbour yesterday to refit, and
will rejoin with as much expedition as possible; and the
Tweed, 18, and Pilot, 16, Commanders Lord Francis
Russell and E. M. Lyons, are expected from Devonport
about Wednesday. These ships comprise the squadron
to be under the orders of Sir Charles Ypier for experi-
mental purposes. It is said the Caledonia, 120, and
Powerful and Ganges, 84's, will not be members of the
squadron, but will remain as stationed at their respec-
tive ports. The Blenheim steam guard ship is, and
will be, the most attractive feature in the squadron,
which, we believe, to be organized more for the pur-
pose of trying her than for any other "experimental"
purpose; and no ship could be tried under more
encouraging circumstances. The officers turned over
to her from the Excellent are—Captain Chads,
Lieutenants Hodgkinson (first), Powell, Burrow's,
Boys, and Dowell. Mates—Harris, Craigie, Burgess,
and Webb. Midshipmen—Carrington, Pym, and Eta-
thorn. Crew-5 gunners, 200 seamen (A.B.'s), 100
boys, and 100 marine artillerymen, under the command
of Captain Henry and First-Lieutenants Ireland and
Crockett. She bent sails yesterday. Commander Hewlett
becomes acting Captain of the Excellent during the ab-
sence of Captain Chads in the Blenheim.

The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, sailed last evening
far the East India station, to take the flag of Rear-Ad-
miral Sir Francis Collier, Commander-in• Chief.

The Salamander and Rifleman steam-sloops, the latter;
screw-propelled, arrived today from Woolwich.
A Committee of naval officers, consisting of Captain
Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent; the Hon. R. S. Dendas,
C. 8., of the Powerful, 84, and Henry Eden, of the Vic-
tory, has been formed for the purpose of examining and
reporting on the internal fittings of the Prince Regent,
92, Capt. Martin, with the view of their general adoption
for all line-of-battle ships, it approved of. This ship is
more expensively fitted up that any line-of-battle ship
in the fleet.

new screw steam-vessel, is ordered from Woolwich to
Portsmouth, to be a tender to the Powerful, 84 guns, to

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Gentleman Regained the
Use of his Limbs by the Effect of Holloway's Ointment
and Pill!..—Mr. John Cock, a highly respectable gentle-
man residing at Madron, near Penzance, has been con-
fined to his house for a considerable period from a fear-
ful attack of paralysis. He had recourse to the best
medical aid but to no purpose,:as in such eases the usual
treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon
using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise
of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful
medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and
the complete use of his limbs. These valuable medicines
are sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
establishment, 244, Strand, London.
