NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
with
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The report circulated WIO
regard to the deck of the Collingwood sinking has bee
found to be correct, not, however, from the dropping of
the beams, nor any other defect, either in the design
or execution of the ship, but from the working of the
holy stones, by which one deck at least has been ent;
tirely ruined, the nails standing up in such a way 05
render it unsafe for waking on. The ship is perfeCtl.,
sound.
The Cyclops steam-frigate is ordered to be kePt
readiness for immediate service. to

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 7.—Through the suspension of ,ns
tilities in the North, the following vessels, which htv
for some time taken shelter in this port, have this 'IZ
sailed for their several destinations, viz., the ?resell,
brig Kron Prinz von Preussin, Captain Moller,
~fivr,
China, for Hamburgh; the Oldenburgh schooner -011_,
gretha, Captain Schaffer, from Cephalonia, for Bremet.l
the Danish schooner Commune, Captain Rauslen, frt:l7:
Rio Grande, for Hamburgh; the Prussian barque p.c.
Bence, Captain Elbrecht, from Plymouth, for Denizli,:
and the Hanoverian galliot Anna Petronella, CePz.e
Arends, from Alicante, for Hamburgh. The followt
are ready, and will probably sail to- morrow, viz-,
Hamburgh galliot Conatus, Captain Klemer, from Li'
bon, for St. Petersburgh; the Danish brig Courier, Cap'
lain Thompson, from Monte Video, for Hamburght
Prussian brig Fanny, Captain Laurens, from Bordesii':
for Stettin; and the Prussian brig Frederic Wilhelreine,
Captain Mannowsky, from Torrevecchia, for Konig%
burgh. The Prussian brig Belohnung, Captain Linto.eerr
from Liverpool, for Stettin, has been detained under
average, but will sail in a few days. The English brig
Empress, Captain Hodgson, sailed yesterday for Hair
burgh with part of the cargo the Hamburgh barque
Flora, Captain Tiedeman, from Singapore, transhipped
previous to the conclusion of the armistice ; and the
schooner Gideon, of Plymouth, Captain Barrett, sails to-
morrow with the remainder of the brig's cargo. The
Flora is now about to load an outward cargo for Singa-
pore, brought here for her, from Hamburgh, by the
English brig Hamburgh, Captain Wood. The above
includes all the Northern merchantmen in the port when
the late intelligence arrived ; a considerable number
of vessels have, however, during the disturbances,
touched here, and then proceeded to their destina-
tion. It is stated that only ono of that number has
been taken.
FALMOUTH, SEPT. 7.—ln consequence of the arrival
at this port of the intelligence that the armistice be'
tween Denmark and the German Confederates had been
ratified, the residue of the fleet of foreign vessels se
lung detained here, and amounting to 40 sail have de'
parted for their original destinations last night and ibis
morning. About 60 other ships by arrangement with
their consignees either got clear of their cargo's, pro' ceeded to other ports, or have run the gauntlet, a;dif-
ferent periods during the time of active hostility.
Wooewress, SEPT. B.—The Adder steam-vessel, re'
cently paid off at this port, on the discontinuance of the
packet service at the Pembroke station, is ordered te,
take on board a supply of coals to-day,
and will proceed
on Monday next to Gravesend with the Lords Commie.
sioners of the Admiralty, who will land there, and Pre"
ceed by railway on an official visit to Chatham.
The Plumper steam-vessel, when she started yesterday
under the charge of Mr. Bellamy, Master-Attendant al,
Woolwich Dockyard, had not reached opposite the roisi
arsenal when one of the fans of her
screw-propeller
broke off, which was lost in the river. The other 1113
also broke off in a few minutes after, and she had to be
towed back to the harbour at Woolwich by the Doer
steam-vessel.
The Dover steam-vessel, Second Master Commander
Bolton, worked very creditably yesterday during her
trial down the river, and the Lords of the Admiralty re-
turned to Woolwich in her. She has been fitted with
three masts, but their Lordships consider that two will
be sufficient, and have ordered the mainmast to be taken
out and placed in store. Their Lordships' official visits
are of great benefit, as any deficiencies or imperfections
at once attract their attention, and a few words of Per"
sonal instruction to the heads of the departments ere -
more to the purpose than volumes of correspondence.
The Mynx steam-vessel, under the charge of Mr. Gee.
man, Master of the Fisgard frigate, made an average
speed of about nine knots per hour yesterday.
The Niger steam-sloop has a number of hands gm:
ployed upon her to get her ready for sea. A great sa*
vantage possessed by her engines is owing to their being
wholly with their boilers under the water line, and safe
from liability to injury by shot. The ponderous begin;
of the former perpendicular stroke are entirely dispensed
with, and a short horizontal stroke of about 1 foot 10
inches substituted, which occupies a comparatively small
space in the vessel, and by its direct action gives a
greater 'lumber of revolutions of the screw-propeller than
can be obtained by any other means yet adopted, without
the continuous drumming noise which took place when
cog-wheels or leather-bands were used; and they are
now far less liable to get out of order.
