NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE LATE LIEUTENANT W. P. GREEN.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We hasten, at the earliest
possible period after becoming acquainted with the real
circumstances of the case, to repair an injury which we
xnay have inflicted upon an institution which has proved
itself worthy of its title.
Commander Dickson, secretary of the Royal Naval
Benevolent Society, did, immediately on the receipt of
Mrs. Green's application, forward, per return of post, 51.
to relieve present distresses, with a printed form, pro-
mising further assistance. This prompt and really bene-
volent donation fully exculpates both the institution and
its secretary from the charge of neglect. We have much
pleasure in further adding that Captain Dickson has in-
terested himself, in conjunction with Sir John Richard-
son, M.D., medical inspector of the Royal Hospital,
Haslar, in the endeavour to get the eldest daughter into
a lunatic asylum, of which receptacle, we are sorry to
say, she is too fit a candidate, grief having been the chief
cause of the loss of her reason.
We are happy to announce that subscriptions are
coming in quickly, and that in a few days a list of
donors will be fully advertised. In the meantime all 1
subscriptions are requested to be forwarded to Captain
or Mrs. Pasco, of the Victory ; Mr. Lowes, surgeon, I
Cold Harbour, Gosport ; or to our correspondent, 53,
High-street, Portsmouth.
We are requested to state, respecting the grounding
of the Avenger steam frigate on her passage hence to
Plymouth in charge of a navigating party from the
St. Vincent, that the course steered was S. W., and
not S.E.

The Sparrow surveying ketch, Commander Otter, ar-
rived on Friday night from the coast of Scotland to refit
and lay up for the winter months. She was towed into
harbeur yesterday.
The Mercury tender, Second Master Scarlett, re-
turned yesterday morning from Plymouth with Lieute-
nant Moorsom and the remaining portion of the crew of
the St. Vincent, which was employed in navigating the
Avenger to that port. She sailed again last night for
the eastern ports with supernumeraries.
The Apollo troop ship, Commander Radcliffe, is or-
dered to Sheerness, but whether to be paid off or refit
for further service is not ordered.
The Rochester navy lighter sailed yesterday with
stores for Devonport.
The Inconstant, 36, Captain Fremantle, was at Bey-
rout on the IGth ult., expecting to be ordered home im-
mediately.

The Daphne, 18, Captain Onslow, sailed from Valpa-
raiso on the 29th of August for Rio and England, re-
ported with freight.
The Hazard, 15, Commander Egerton, sailed from
Singapore for Hong-Kong on the 7th of October to
meet the Admiral. She is ordered home forthwith.

The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, is on her way
home (as stated by us some time since) from the coast
of Africa. On her arrival two or three courts-martial
will be held on the officers on board her in reference to
conduct complained of by them as having been practised
on board the sloop.
The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, went out of har-
bour yesterday to Spithead, and took in her ammunition.
She is bound to the River Plate with dispatches for the
Commander-in-Chief.
