NAVAL INTELLIGENCE•

-
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.
ARRIVAL OF THE SUPERB.—The Superb, 80, Cap-
tain A. L. Cdrry, hove in sight at Portsmouth this
morning, and rounded St. Catheripe's Poi' about eight
o'clock. The wind blew a light breezo from the north-
ward, dead foul for Spithead anchorage. About ten
o'clock, while beating up under all plain sail to royals,
when in stays, and in the act of swingingter after-yards
she carried away her maintopsailyard " short-off "in the
slings, which also carried away the maintopgallantyard.
This accident (which, we suppose, was occasioned by
one of the maintopsail braces getting foul) obliged the
Superb to anchor. She had the-wreck cleared away
and the other yards across in a short .time, and soon
after twelve o'clock she was again under all sail, beating-
up, but in consequence of a strong adverse tide and light
winds she did not reach Spithead anchorage till some
time after sunset. She saluted the flag-of Admiral Sir
Bladen Capel while beating-up. It is supposed Admiral
Sir Bladen Capel will muter and inspect her this fore-
noon; after which she will discharge her powder and
probably go into harbour on Tuesday morning. her
pay-books will be transmitted to the Admiralty without
going through the Admiral Superintendent's-office, ac-
cording to orders in force for the last three months.
The Superb has been on her passage from Malta, with-
out touching at any intermediate port, since the 7th of
September.
The Myrtle steam-vessel, Master Commander A.
Ballistou, sailed yesterday morning for Folkestone, to
settle some disputes among the fishermen there.
The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master
Commander S. B. Cook, did not get away till yesterday

morning.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Henry Hawker, bent
sails yesterday.
The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Hoseasen,
was at Madras on the 14th of October. She sailed
from Singapore on the 10th of September, and arrived
at Trincomalee on the morning of the 18th. The Fury
steam-sloop, Commander Willcox, sailed from Trinco-
malee on the Ist of October, to join the Admiral at
Singapore, and bear his flag until the arrival of the
Hastings, 72, from England. The Inflexible left on
the same day for Madras, with Major Deacon's detach-
ment of the 25th Regiment, which had been sent there
during the disturbances, but have now returned, all
being quiet at Ceylon. The Inflexible was on the point of
sailing from Madras on the 11th of October, for Ceylon,
when the Fire Queen, Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer, arrived wi.h important dispatches for the:Qovern-
ment at Madras, and• requiring two native regiments.
The services of the Inflexible were tendered by her en-
terprising captain, and engaged to move an entire regi-
ment, field equipage, baggage, and all. She embarked
all the troops, and was to sail on the 17th with the 28th
Native Infantry to Arrancon, and there embark a,Bengal
regiment at that place for Calcutta. A large merchant
ship was also being freighted with troops, which the In-
flexible's commander had undertaken to tow to the place
of debarkation. much to the gratification of the Legisla-
tive Council of Madras. _

The Rifleman, Lieutenant-Commander S. L. Crofton,
and Sharpshooter, Lieutenant-Commander J. C. Bailey,
weighed yesterday morning at half-past seven o'clock,
according to previous arrangement, under the superin-
tendence of Captain H. T. Austin, C. 8., and as soon as
their anchors were stowed, commenced their trial of
shaming within ti. Zeta or Wight. rney mane tueir
a.at trip to the Knab light, after passing which they
veered round and returned, passing through Spit-
bead to the westward, at about 9 30 A.m. On
reaching Cowes roads, they again veered, and passed
a second time through Spithead, at 11 20 A. 31.
They again veered round at the Knab light,
and passed through Spithead the third time at 1
P.M. They passed through Cowes roads, and finally dis-
appeared round Egypt point, a little after three P.M.
Nothing is of course known with regard to the results of
the experiment, as the steamers, in obedience to previous
instructions, kept strictly together. The Rifleman was,
however, observed to be blowing steam for a considerable
time after the Commencement, until she had attained to a
more regulated supply of fuel. The rate of progress
appeared to be very slow.
The Plumper, 12, screw-schooner, Commander Nol-
loth, is to have her funnel fitted so as to be lowered quite
out of the way of the mainsail, and a larger bowsprit is
to be put into her, at the suggestion of Lord John Hay,
who, together with Captain Ellice, inspected; sundry
matters connected with the vessels at this port yesterday.
Wind, N. W. by N., moderate breeze and fine weather.
In the notice of the performance of the schooner,
screw propeller, one of the line of steamers for the trade
to the Turkish capital, in the naval intelligence of Mon-
day last, the name of the patentee, Mr. Lowe was omit
ted. The experiments, which showed a rate of speed
12i knots an hour, were witnessed by Mr. Smith, the
Government Inspector, and were perfectly satisfactory.

Medina went out of harbour and was paid wages on
Tuesday, and sailed yesterday morning for the Mt di-
terranean.

pair, was placed on the 15th in Dock No. 4, just va-
cated by the Cambridge, 84.

were paid off yesterday at the Dockyard. Her copper

landed and examined. The fore and main masts require

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Celebrated Family Me-
dicine, Worsdell's Vegetable Pills, prepared by; John
Kale,Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield when taken
into the human system, effectually remove unhealthy
obstructions, and cause the vital fluids to proceed in their
natural order. They free the stomach from crudities
and vitiated secretions, and consequently aid digestion
and relieve the head from oppression and pain. Mrs. J.
Illiffe, of New-buildings, Hinckley, was afflicted with
dizziness and violent pains and noises in her head, aris-
ing from derangment of the alimentary organs, so that
she could get nog rest by night nor day. By taking
Kaye's Worsdell s Pills,
the disorder was removed in a
short time. Mr. Thomas Herbert, of Scarborough, was
for five years heavily afflicted with indigestion, dizziness,
and swelling in ' the body, so that he could scarcely eat
the least portion of food without great pain. By taking
these Pills he was restored to perfect health. The ge-
nuine Pills have Mr.:Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-simile
of his signature, printed on the directions for use
