NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 21.—The Victory presented a
highly interesting appearance this morning, her three
mast-heads and flag-staffs, surmounted by wreaths of
laurel, the royal arms at the break of the poop surrounded
by a tasteful wreath of laurel interspersed with flowers,
and the brass-plate on the deck, inscri')ed " Here Nelson
fell," ornamented by a simple wreath of laurel. The
commemoration dinner took place in the dining cabin on
the main-deck, the ward-room being too small to accom-
modate comfortably the party invited to celebrate the
anniversary of Trafalgar. The cabin was decorated
with a transparency of the departed hero, behind the
President's chair, and the cabin was otherwise appropri-
ately decorated with martial trophies.
Soou after six o'clock Captain Pasco took the chair.
On the removal of the cloth the following toasts were
given from the chair:—" The Queen;" " The Queen
Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal
Family;" " The immortal memory of Nelson, and those
who fell with him;" "Sir Charles Ogle, the Com-
mander-in -Chief;" " Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker;"'
" Lord Auckland and the Admiralty." By Rear-Ad-
miral Parker—" Captain Pasco, and the rest of the sur-
viving gallant officers who fought at the battle of Tra-
falgar." Chairman—" The Duke of Wellington and
the Army."
The festivities were kept up until a late hour, and the
men as well as the officers were properly regaled in com-
memoration of " Trafalgar day."

The Scourge disembarked yesterday at the dockyard
500 of the 27th Regiment, whom she brought from the
Channel Islands. They marched to Fort Cumberland.
The Scourge is ordered, after completing fuel, to pro-

ther orders are transmitted to her.

Crocodile, 8, Commander Lowe, docked in her room.
The Sylvia, tender to the Seaflower cutter, Commander
J. Roepel, arrived this morning from Jersey to obtain

Lieutenant John Green (1809) died at his residence,
Kingston, near Portsmouth, on Sunday last, after a lin-
gering illness. This t,fficer was a midshipman of the
Courageux in the expedition topferrol, and of the Ve-
nerable in Saumarez's action in Algesiras bay and the
Straits of Gibraltar ; and in action with the French 80-
gun ship Formidable off Cadiz, 1801. Commanded a
boat of the Eclair, cutting out a vessel from under the
batteries at Martinique, and employed in boats in several
actions off Santa Eustatia and the Spanish Main, and in
a boat of the Galatea at the capture of several vessels in
the harbour of Barcelona, 1806. Led the boats of the
Galatea at the capture, after three repulses, by boarding
of the French national corvette Lynx, of 16 guns and
161 men, and was twice wounded ; and again in her
boats at the capture of the French armed vessel Reunion,
1807. Present at the surrender of the Danish West
India Islands. In command of a tender to the Galatea
armed with a light carronade and 20 men, captured a
vessel of very superior force, and was again wounded ;
but being a few days afterwards engaged by a French
national 14-gun cutter, was captured. Was Lieutenant
of the Musquito in the Elbe, and captured an armed
vessel at the mouth of the river Oost. Thus, after
being thirty-seven years a lieutenant, Lieutenant Green
died holding no higher rank, leaving seven daughters
and two sons almost wholly unprovided for.
PLYMOUTH, OCT. 20.—Her,Majesty's troop-ship Belle-
isle, 72, Captain John Kingcombe, has been signalised
off this port from Quebec and Halifax.

vernor of the Cape of Good Hope, will embark in the
Gladiator at Portsmouth for a passage to that colony.
The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain Cragg, has re-
ceived all her stores on board, and is now ready for sea.
The Grappler steam-vessel has taken on board all her
sea stores.
Owing to an omission in the manuscript, the names of
the naval officers who visited Woolwich Dockyard on
Monday, and went on board the Sidon steam-frigate,
Captain Henderson, C. 8., were given incorrectly. The
following is correct :
Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarecce, G.C.H.; Captain
Clarence Edward Paget, Captain Lord George raulet,
