Naval arid Military Intelligence.

m"

Her Majesty's steam block-ship Hawke, 60, Captain
Ommanney, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon
from Falmouth, where officers anti men have left a most
favourable impression, in conjunction with the Militia
station there; as expressed in the following presPntinent
of the grand jury of the Borough Sessions, held on the
22d ult. " We beg to congratulate the town and
neighbourhood on the usual orderly and good conduct
manifested by the Militia and seamen during the time
the Militia have been embodied and her Majwity's ship
Hawke hay: been stationed at this port."
Her Majesty's ship, Royal George, 101, screw three-
decker, Captain 11. J. Codrington, C. 13., arrived at Spit-
head yesterday afternoon from the eastward, to rejoin
the Balt;c fleet.

The steam transport Hope, No. 64, Captain Bowen,
arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the East.
She left Maita, January 16, and Gibraltar January 24.
On the 26th, off Cape Vincent, she signalled a ship
showing s:cond pendant No. 9,617. The Hope is in
ballast ; no invalids or passengers.
Tue experimental mortar-raft, having undergone the
series of trials considered necessary with the heavy
mortar, has again returned to Woolwich. It was yes-
terday morning equipped with one of Colonel Chalmer's
10-inch guns, for carrying on further experiments,
for which purpose the raft is about to be re-
conveyed to Shoeburyness, in order to test
more fully its capahility and efficiency. The
magazines in the body of the pontoons, having been
strengthened, now form perfectly dry receptacles,
and are sufficiently r pacious for all the purposes of stow-
age. &a , for the service of the raft. This gun will be
fired with an 841 b. shell, which in experimental use is
increased in weight by being partially filled with sand.
The paddle-wheel transport Cumberland, No. 152, ar-
rived at Woolwich yesterday morning from the docks,
rvid is to commence shipping a general cargo from the
Arsenal storesfer the use of the army in the East.

TATTERS ALL'S—Tnu R SD AY. 1

The attendance was very moderate ; and although the
acceptances for the Metropolitan Stakes, the City awl
Suburban, and the Newmarket Handicap respectively,
were published in the course of the previous day, not
ono of these events was speculated upon.
For the Liverpool Steeplechase Harry Lorrequer was
backed at 12 to 1, and the same odds were taken in the
early part of the afternoon about Sir Peter Laurie ; to-
wards the close, however, he receded to 100 to 7 (offered).
6 to 1 was taken to a pony about the t

Yellow Jack wag backed somewhat freely for the Two
Thousand at 7 to 2 ; 4 to 1 was offered against Fly-by-
Nicht-9 to 2 would have been taken.

For the Chester Cup Yellow Jack ha-1 also an upward
tendency. The other investments on this event require
no comment..

Only Fly-by-Night was hacked for the, Derby ; 11 to
1 was taken to nearly 3001.
