NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTAMOUTII, Nov. 25.—The Count Kornitoff, Cap-
tain in the Russian navy, has since Sunday last been
sojourning in the hospitable mansion of Admiral Sir
Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, who has been
unremitting in his attentions. The Gallant Captain has
had all the Government establishments exhibited to him,
has visited the Excellent, and yesterday went out in the
Avenger, a distinguished party of scientific officers ac-
companying him. Flag-Lieutenant Robertson, of the
St. Vincent (who is selected by Sir Charles Ogle to do
duty as his Flag-Lieutenant during the illness of Lieute-
nant Collier, who, we regret to say, met with an accident
whilst riding), has been in attendance upon the Count
during his visit.

The Retribution steam-frigate, in charge of Lieutenant
Crozier, of the royal yacht, and a party of men from the
flag-ship, has been taken out to-day on a similar trial as
the Avenger yesterday.
The Rattlesnake, surveying ship, Captain Owen Stan-
ley, bent sails this morning, and will go out to Spithead
on Monday.
The Sealark, 10, Commander Gooch, was at St. He-
lena on the 6th ult.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The barque Emma, of Ply-
mouth, Captain Spicer, has just arrived from Quebec,
which she left on the 23d ult. This ship experienced the
effect of the storm of the 19th instant, when about two
hundred miles west of Scilly. Her bulwarks and
stanchions, boats and cook-house, were carried away,
her decks swept, five of her crew drowned, and two
others disabled.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 24.—The Avon steam-vessel,
Captain Denham, is to be paid off here on Saturday, the
28th instant. It is as gratifying to announce that on the
first board-day after she reached England, the 13th inst.,
her commander, Henry Mangles Denham, F.R.S., was
promoted to the rank of post-captain.
The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, has
delivered over her stores to the authorities of the dock-
yard, and is to be paid off on Thursday, the 26th inst.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander
Petley returned to Woolwich on Saturday, having towed
the Belvidera store-ship from Deptford to the Downs,
on her way to the coast of Scotland with a supply of
meal for the inhabitants of that part of the kingdom.
The Lightning left Woolwich again this morning for
Sheerness to bring up the luggage of Commodore Sir
J. G. Bremer, K.C.8., and K.C.H. appointed to succeed
Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier, Knight, C.B. and
K.C.H., as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard.
