NAVAL IN TELLIGENC:B.
PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 22.—The St. Vincent, 120, Captain
Sir Richard Grant, took the flag of Admiral Ogle from the.
Victorious hulk yesterday, and this morning the latter hauled
ono her usual moorings. The St. Vincent is now ready to
go to Spithead whenever the tides will allow her. We have
much pleasure in announcing that Sir Richard Grant will go
to sea in her. Thirty extra riggers belonging to this dock-
yard were discharged into the St. Vincent yesterday, towards
completing her complement, which will be made up to 950,
by extra marines.
The Winchester, 50, Captain Eden, flag of Rear-Admiral
the Hon. J. Percy, was inspected and mustered at Spithead
yesterday, by Admiral Percy, for the Commander-in-Chief;
the crew were exercised in target practice, and showed con-
siderable proficiency in gunnery. She came into harbour this
morning to be dismantled prior to being paid off. Admiral
Percy struck his flag last evening at sunset. She sailed into
harbour in gallant style. Two days before she left the Cape,
the Helena, 16, Commander Sir C. Ricketts, Bart., sailed from
Simon's Bay for a cruize in the Mozambique Channel, and
