NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.-1 ho Reynard screw steam-
sloop, Commander P. Cracraft, 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 drsw 11 feet forward, and 12
feet 5 inches aft; took two minutes to get tho screw up,
and l to ship it. The trip was considered a highly sa-
tisfactory one.
The Netley tender sailed this morning on her return
to Devonport.
Sixty-eight convicts came into Clarence-yard to day
by her Majesty's branch railway, and were immediately
embarked in a flat bottomed boat with an 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 employed 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.

The Goodwill lighter arrived to-day with stores from
Devonport.
The Nautilus transport is ordered to proceed to
Deptford.
Wind south; fresh breezes and cloudy weather.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 22.—Her Majesty's ship Caledonia,
Captain Thomas W. Carter, has struck her topmasts and
lower yards for the winter. _

It is very generally reported. that her-Majesty's able
and active harbour-master far this port, Mr. William
Walker, 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 last three or four days. Op the evening of the 20th,
when blowing bard 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 her 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 N% as 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, Captaik Christie,
from Newcastle, with coal, fur Palermo, put back to this
port with loss of mainmast, which was cut away twenty-
live miles west of Scilly, to savo the ship in a storm.
Wind, S.W., blowing hard, with rain.
