NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Marquis of Huntley transport, Lieutenant Sanders
agent, arrived yesterday, in forty-one days from Antigua,
with about three hundred tons of ordnance stores on board.
This ship has been nineteen days in soundings. detained
by strong easterly winds. Sbe brings no news from the
West Indies further than that it was remarkably healthy,
as a proof of which this ship lost but one man out of 450
souls she conveyed to that country. The Pallas frigate,
Captain W. Walpole, was at Barbadoes, and going to
Jamaica to assume the command in that quarter. The
Blanche frigate, Captain Farquhar, was taking the Bishop
of Barbadoes on a visitation round his diocese of the
Leeward Islands. The Victor, 18, was at Barbadoes ;
the Arachne, 18, at Demerara; and the Dispatch, 18,
at Antigua. The Pearl, 18, had brought money from
Jamaica to Barbadoes, and the Gannett, 18, had been on
shore at that island, but was not damaged. The
Sapphire, 28, Honourable Captain Trefusis, was gone
to Newfoundland, and the Ariadne, 28, Captain
Phillips, had proceeded to Bermuda. The Att,oll
troop ship was to leave Barbadoes for England in
July with invalids. The Nimble schooner had captured a
slaver, with 190 slaves on board, on the 18th May, off
Barbadoes, and had taken them to Trinidad. When the
Marquis of Huntley left the West Indies the first proposi-
tion of Mr. Stanley's relative to the slave had been received
there, and the feeling it created cannot be better described
than in the following quotation from the Antigua Herald :
—"Nothing perhaps ever showed more completely the
imeossibili,y of mere talent, however splendid, legislating
justly and effectively for a distant country than the docu-
inent to which we allude. Nothing can serve as a substi-
tute for practical knowledge and personal acquaintance
with the subject. The first prominent feature, a feature
which pervades the whole plan, is pure and unconcealed
spolistton—tobbery without disguise, mask, concealment,
apology, or excuse. The legally-acquired property of the
-oliects of the empire is to be taken away without their con-
,ent, against their will, and without any remuneration, com-
pensation, or equivalent whatever." The crops at the Leeward
Islands were a fair average productinn, and the freight home
tor this season was 4/. a ton. The new Governor of
Barhadoes appears to be highly unpopular with the whites
,it that island. A disposition to tumult had evinced itself
nt S'. Vincent, but the activity of Sir Lionel Smith lin-
otediately repressed it. The Marquis of Huntley brought
nome Mrs. Chads, wife of Captain Chads, of the Ist West
India Regiment, and five children. She spoke a Danish
,otrvette going up Channel on Thursday, and heard from a
fisherman that the Arah transport, from the Cape of
G god Hope, was in the Channel.
Letters have been received from the coast of Africa,

Trotter, captured on the 9th of May, off Fernando Po, a
slave schooner, with 290 slaves on board ; and the Pluto

.alaves. The Favourite, 18, Captain Joseph Harti-
aan, had also captured a slave schooner, with 117
.laves on board ; she sailed from Fernando Po on the
10th of May for England. The Trinculo, 10,
Lieutenant Thompson, arrived at the Gambia on
the Ist of June, from Ascension, and the Britomart,
Lieutenant Quin, on the Bth of June, from Plymouth ;

Lieut. Sullivan, was at the Gambia on the 15th of June,

Lauder, the adventurous African traveller, was at Fer.
iando Po, very unwell, but it was expected he would
'portly proceed in the Pluto steamer for the Nun River.

Ills experimental schooner was a considerable distance up
the Niger River, but how his trading speculation had
turned out does not appear.
