NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The following circulars have been issued for the
guidance of officers of the:Royal Navy, and in order to
explain circular No. 21, it is necessary to give circular
No. 12,dated Admiralty, Feb. 27, 1846:—
"Memorandum.—Her Majesty has been graciously
pleased tp direct that the sea pay and harbour pay of
third-class engineers on board her Majesty's ships shall
be increased to 61. 105. a month and 41. 102. a month re-
spectiv( ly, commencing from the 25th inst.
" The pay of engineers on board her Majesty's ships
will therefore be according to the following rates:—Sea
pay, first-class, 12/. ; harbour pay, first-class, 71. 17s. a
month ; 'and IL Bs. a month when on sea pay, as com-
pensation for the instruction of boys. Sea pay, second-
class, 8/. ; harbour pay, second-class, 4/. 18s.; sea pay,
third-class, 61. 10s.; harbour pay, 'third-class, 4/. 10s.
-" And when within the tropics, engineers will be al-
lowed,' as usual, half the sea pay- when the steam is up
in addition.

"By command of their Lordships,
"H. CORRY.
" To all Captains and Commanders of her
" Majesty's ships and vessels."
In the above memorandum the position of third-class
engineers was raised to be nearly! equal to second-
class engineers, and their Lordships having very con-
siderately taken into consideration the rising importance
of that branch of the naval service, has caused to be
issued the following circular, dated, Admiralty, August
31st, 1846, raising the pay of second-class engineers 14s.
a month :
" Memorandum.—Referring to their, memorandum,
No. 8, of the sth of November, 1845, and • No. 12, of
the 27th of February, 1846, their Lordships are pleased
to direct,

" Firsi—That all second-class engineers shall in future
be allowed I4s. a month as compensation, in lieu of the
allowance formerly given for instructing an engineer
boy; and,

Secondz—That all third class engineers, whether re-
ceiving an allowance in lieu of provisions or not, shall
be considered entitled to the increased pay granted by
her Majesty's order in Council, as notified in the said
circular, No. 12,

" By command of their Lordships,
" H. G. WARD.
" To all Flag-officers and Commanders-
in-Chief, Captains, and Command-
ing Officers of her Majesty's steam-
vessels."

The following circular, No. 22, dated Admiralty, Sept.
1, 1846, cannot be too extensively promulgated, convey-
ing as it does information of the utmost importance to
the men of the Royal Navy
" Memorandum.—ln all future cases when any of
her Majesty's ships are about to be paid off, their Lord-
ship:. desire it may be distinctly explained to the men
that if they choose to continue in the service they may
have a month or six weeks' leave of absence, during
which time their time and pay will go on, and that they
will be at liberty to join any of her Majesty's ships fit-
ting out at any ports upon their return from such leave.
" Their Lordships further desire that every facility
may be Oven to the men to deposit their hammocks,
clothes, &c., in the dockyards during their stay on shore,
in the manner prescribed by their Memorandum, dated
April 13, 1842, the object of which their Lordships
desire may be „fully impressed upon the men, and the
regulation strictly attended to.
" By command of their Lordships,
" H. G. WARD.
",To all Flag-officers, Commanders-in-
Chief, Captains, and Commanders of
her Majesty's ships and vessels."
SHEERNESS, SEPT. B.—The Bulldog, Commander G.
E. Davis, arrived from Chatham yesterday morning, and
immediately proceeded to Greenhithe to have her com-
passes adjusted, after which she goes to Portsmouth to
be paid advance wages before proceeding on foreign
service.

The Formidable, 84, late the flagship in the Mediter-
ranean, was towed down from the moorings at Stand-
gate-creek yesterday, to be refitted for commission.
The Raven cutter, Lieutenant J. Stephen, has gone to
Chathatn to await the paying off of the North Star
(which is to take place to.day), when she will convey
the marines to their division at Portsmouth.
The Horatio, 44, has had a number of hands put on
her again, to complete her fittings as a steam guard-
ship. The Blenheim, 74, fitting as such at Wigram's,
of Blackwall, under the superintendence of officers of
the dockyard, will be ready for her machinery in a
fortnight.

The Dragon steam-frigate is under the shears to ship
her paddle-box boats. She has been reported ready for
the pendant.
Commander Gould took up his commission as Com-
mander of the ordinary on Saturday.
Captain Sir Thomas Bourchier, 1i.C:8., will supersede
Captain Shirreff in the superintendentship of Chatham
Dockyard on the 27th inst.

Captain Francis E. Loch, the superintendent of the
quarrantine station at Standgate-creek, has been re-
appointed to that command for another term of five
years.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. B.—The Hound, 6, Commander
Wood, sailed this afternoon for the coast of Africa,
calling at Plymouth.
The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin,
hauled alongside ,the dockyard to-day to embark de-
tachments of the 74th Highlanders for Aberdeen.
The Orestes, 18, Commandor Cannon, was paid off
into ordinary this morning.
The Aid navy lighter, Smallman master, arrived last
night front Chatham with stores.

The America, 50, is rapidly refitting at Devonport, and
will be again ready for sea in a few days.
The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, sailed from
Simon's Bay, Cape of Good. Hope, on the 16th of June,
for Sydney, New South Wales.
The Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle, ar-
rived at Simon's Bay from Table Bay on the 17th of
June.

The United States frigate Constitution, about whose
armament and weight of metal such feverish anxiety
was manifested by one or two members of the late
court-martial upon Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, of the
America, left Mazatlan prior to the 28th of June for
one of her home ports, her timbers being so rotten as
to preclude her from making any further display with
safety.

The Lords of the Admiralty are contemplating an
alteration in the naval uniform, having during their re-
cent official visits to this and other ports experienced ex-
treme difficulty in discovering the real rank of officers
from their uniforms, the juniors especially, owing to the
extraordinary profusion with which the late board epau-
letted the service.

The Inflexible steam sloop, Commander lloseason,
arrived at Madeira on the 16th ult., from Plymouth, en
route to the Cape of Good Hope. She put in merely to
land letters. A letter from her says—" We have had a
beautiful trip, the weather having been fine and the
passengers cheerful and in good order. We have steamed
all the way, in consequence of light winds, and I think
we stand a very fair chance of reaching the Cape with
some coals to spare in our bunkers. I like my ship very
much: our accommodation is superb." After landing her
letters the Inflexible proceeded on her course for the
Cape direct.

DELIGHTFUL CONSEQUENCES OF THE GAME-LAWS.
—On Sunday morning last, between four and five
o'clock, as the under-keeper, named Cook, in the
employ of Mr. A. Fontaine, of Narford, was crossing a
turnip field near the Scoots, he saw a dog taking a hare,
and presently a man started up with a view to seize it,
but seeing the keeper he made off. The latter pursued
the dog, which travelled rather slowly from the weight
of the hare, and at length he secured him. This brought
the poacher up, who demanded to have his animal re-
leased, but this the keeper refused. The result was a
scuffle, and at length they drew their knives, and with
these weapons they fought dreadfully for half an hour.
At length the weapon of Cook entered the side of
Mason (that being the poacher's name), and he fell.
The keeper then wrenched from him the knife, and threw
them both away, keeping his man, however, pinned to
the ground, and calling lustily for assistance. Mr.
Spanton, sen., happened to be up, and hastened to
the spot from which the cries came. They all
proceeded towards the house of the latter, but
they had not gone far, when Mason complained
that he could walk no further, as his bowels were pro-
truding. They undid his clothes, and this was found to
be actually the case. Mr. Spanton then procured a
horse and cart, and sent them both on to Swabham under
a proper escort, both men being so dreadfully wounded
that it was not thought they could survive many hours.
Cook's face was literally hacked to pieces, so much had
the poacher the 'vantage ground of him in the onset of
the affray. The last information we received was, that
both men are still alive, and that Mason has been re-
manded.—Lynn Advertiser.
In the morning of the 31st ult., while the work-
men at the Hamburgh Theatre were hoisting to its place
a splendid bronze chandelier for gas lights, just brought
from London, and weighing above 10,8001b5., the rope
broke, and the enormous mass, falling to the ground,
was broken to pieces, crushing two Englishmen who had
come over to superintend its being suspended.
Mr. Sheriff Laurie a few days since had the honour
to receive an invitation to dine with his Majesty the
King of the French, at his palace at Neuilly. The worthy
Sheriff accepted the royal invite, and we understand was
most worthily entertained by King Louis Philippe.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NOT

TINGHAM AND LINCOLN RAILWAY.
On Monday last a fat-El accident occurred on the Not-
tingham and Lincoln Railway, at Gonalstone, a distance
of eight or nine miles from Nottingham. At twelve
o'clock the train left the station at Nottingham for Lin-
coln, and proceeded as usual till reaching that portion of
the line near the village of Gonalstone, when a spring
underneath the fore part of the engine snapped, and
caused the engine to oscillate and jump up and down in
a fearful manner. The engine driver In a moment of
time shut off the steam, and at the next instant he was
precipitated head foremost off the engine upon the
ground. The stoker, a young man of the name cf
Henry Glover, unable to keep his feet, fell and was
caught between the tender and the engine, upon the
tipper part of both his thighs. Here he was fixed, and
could not extricate himself, the engine and tender at the
same time being whirled off the rads and as it were
actually doubled up ; but owing to the chain attaching
them to the engine suddenly breaking, and there being
two or three trucks and a luggage van between the en-
gine and the passenger carriages, the mischief did not
extend to the passengers and the train came to a stand
without any other individual sustaining damage. The
alarm was almost unprecedented ; the shrieks and cries
of the passengers rent the air, and were heard many hun-
dred yards distant ; diirectly afterwards numbers were
seen running in all directions across the fields
for safety, and they could not be induced to
go near the train again. The poor unfortu-
nate stoker could not be removed from his
awful' situation by human strength, and horses were
obtained from Gonalstone to separate the engine and
tender to set him at liberty. He remained in this de-
plorable conditimi for more than a quarter of an hour
some of the passengers think half an hour must have
elapsed from the first moment of the accident to the time
when he was removed. Many of the passengers re-
turned to Nottingham on foot, and would not venture
again in the train. The stoker was conveyed to the
General Hospital, with his thigh bones protruding, and
with the flesh dreadfully crushed. On leaving his
engine-driver, the dying man shook hands and bade him
farewell. On arriving at the infirmary, at half-past two
o'clock, it was found that the injury was so close to his
body that amputation was impossible. He only sur-
vived a few hours. He was twenty-six years of age,
and has left a wife, but no family.
The fatal accident which occurred on this railway
has brought to light circumstances clearly showing
that there is a very culpable degree of negligence in the
management of this line, which ought to be forthwith
inquired into. At seven o'clock on Tuesday morning a
train left Nottingham for Lincoln, and on approaching
the Burton Joyce Station, a passenger happened to look
out of a carriage window, and seeing a smoke before,
rising as if from something upon the line, he cried out
and gave an alarm to the engine man, who instantly
shut off the steam and put on
_the break ; had he not
succeeded at that very moment in stopping the engine,
the train would have gone smash upon an engine that
had been carelessly left upon the line. It is said the
man who acted in this reckless manner has been re-
ported, and an inquiry will take place. Passengers,
however, do not feel safe, as more than one instance has
occurred where the gates across the line have not been
opened in time, and the engine dashing through has
smashed them to pieces. We have heard repeated com-
plaints that it is very seldom the requisite signals are
given upon leaving a station after stopping for a time.
