NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 26.—The defects of the boilers
and tubes of the Scourge mortar steamer are to be made
good at Woolwich, and she has gone thither fir that
purpose. It is expected the mortar which she now car-
ries will be removed, and that she will be armed with
gun,4, as originally intended, and then rejoin Vice-
Admiral Sir W. Parker.

The Eurydice has had her compasses adjusted, and is
to go out of harbour on Tuesday.
The Contest brig was swung yesterday, and will be
ready to go to Spithead on Thursday.
Commander A. L. Montgomery, of the Grecian, has
been promoted to the rank or captain, and Commander
Louis S. Tindal, BM of the late Chief Justice Sir N.
Tindal, is appointed to her. Second Captain Henry
James, R.E , is appointed director of works in this dock-
yard, in place of Captain Denison, R.E , governor of Van
Diemen's Land. This officer is to occupy the quarters of
his predecessor, and the superior apprentices school is
to be removed elsee here.
The Constance, 50, Captain S r B. Walker, is the only
ship at Spithead, arid is kept there until the Eurydice
and Spartan are ready to have their trial cruise.
The Recruit, Hound, and Bullog, fitting at the
Eastern dockyards, are to call at Spithead for their final
orders.
SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION.--It is expected the fleet,
under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Wm. Parker,
G.C.8., is now at sea. An officer appointed to the
Trafalgar, was ordered to. be at Cork on Saturday,

mated to the different captains of the ships, arid by them
the officers were informed, that the various messes
had better provide themselves with two months stock,
as it was probable .they would not return to their re-
speCtive ports before the end of September—the eruizing
and exercising ground, instead of being confined to the
former limited space, will extend to Gibraltar; the ships
will call off the Tagus, Vigo Bay, Cadiz, and Gibralta.r,;
and all letters and dispatches for the Vice-Admiral will
be sent to Lisbon, and a steamer, or one of the men-of-
war, is to go thither occasionally for them. i
The officers of the Superb, Rodney, and Canopus, n

numerous families at Cork and the neighbourhood, ha
given balls and entertainments to some hundred of ladiFs
and gentlemen, and the sailing of the squadron oaq

DECKED WELLED FISHING
SELS v. OPEN BOATS. fiat °
The superiority of decked welled vessels over ter
open boats for conducting the fisbings in deeP 'Fe%
will readily be seen from the following six reas°ll-
- from Mr. Dempster's circulars:— tukert
1. By employing vessels with wells fisii are
alive into port, and, consequently, they are dead,.
fresher than if they had been a considerable titewotein
which is too frequently the case by the open boa:
of fishing..
2. Decked vessels are much safer at sea in hew.,:,;
weather than open boats are (when they do haPcll#
caught in a storm), and in all weathers at 10'"hicii
be
men are rendered much more comfortable, as theiLLT

selves. leek
S. With decked vessels fighermen remain days, ;t,ei
and sometimes months, continually at sea pursuing
calling, catching and curing the fish as they are eaPt'd

being less engaged at sea (so as to make both au' BS'
livelihood meet), they are obliged to call in' th„eceea;
sistance of their wives and families to work of *3'4 getlo
big drudgery, such as hawking fish about the sty
gathering bait amongst the rocks, &c. 04
5. On board of decked vessels the. trawl net is .6,11
much more conveniently than in open boats.
trawlers cast their nets in 45 fathoms and urger, sari
at times catch large quantities of soles and-other eenot
dLions of ground fish. For example, there is a !,„t tile
