NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill positively vacates the super-
inteudentship of the Deptford Dockyard, on promotion.
Captain Milne, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, will not
succeed him, as reported ; but it is believed that the appoint-
ment will be conferred on one of the most popular captains
in the navy—an officer who is a C 8., was formerly at the
Admiralty, and has recently paid off one of the happiest ship's
companies that ever sailed under the royal pendant.
A'-0110, 8, troop-sloop, Commander Rawstorne, with the
92d Regiment, arrived at Corfu on the 27th March, after a
favourable passage of 18days, from Cork; but in consequence
of a case of measles, and another of small-pox, the ship bad
been put in quarantine for a week, much to the annoyance
of the troops.
Diligence store transport, Mitchell master, arrived at De-
vonport from Woolwich on Friday, took in some stores on
Saturday, and sailed on Sunday morning for Bermuda.
Magicienne new steam-sloop, at Devonport, having had
her ballast re-stowed, was again taken out to sea on Thurs-
day, in charge of Mr. Brown, master-attendant, and returned
on Friday afternoon. She is said to have answered much
better, carrying her sails and standing up more stiffly, &c. ;
but it must be recollected that it was in an easy breeze and
smooth water.

Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master-Commander
Belam, had her defects made good, was paid advance on
Saturday, and sailed from Devonport in the evening for
the Cape.
Duck lighter, Savage, master, arrived at Devonport with
stores from Woolwich on Saturday.
WooLwicti, APRIL 7.—The Rattler, 6, screw steam-sloop,
of 200-horse power, Commander Arthur Cumming, arrived at
Woolwich, at two o'clock, r.x., from the Coast of Africa,
and is to be paid off at this port. having been in commission
since the 12th of February, 1849.
Lieutenant Leckie, with a part of the crew of the Penelope
steam-frigate, arrived at Woolwich on Friday last to navi•
gate the 'feazer steam-vessel to Portsmouth. She will then
accompany the Penelope to the coast of Africa, and serve as
a tender to that vessel. The Teazer is now barque-rigged,
her former commander, Lieutenant Selwyn, having suggested
the alteration from two to three masts to render her a
better sailer when her steam is not used.

The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Master-Commander
Robert Salmond, will leave Woolwich. with four companies
of Royal artillery on board, on Wednesday evening or
Thursday morning for Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada.
The baggage of the companies arrived at the dockyard this
afternoon, and the companies are to embark on Wednesday.
The whole of the four companies assembled in heavy march-
ing order to-day on the guard mounting parade, and were
inspected by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman,
C.B , K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, accompanied by
Colonel Cruttenden, Brigade-Major Bingham, and the com-
manding officer and adjutant of the 10th battalion.

Notice is hereby given that on the Ist of January last a
revolving light was established on Cape Pine, the southern-
most point of Newfoundland. The iron tower, which is cir-
cular, and painted with red and white bands alternately, is
5G feet high, but the ;ight is elevated 302 feet above the sea,
and therefore, in clear weather, may be seen at the distance
of 22 miless. The light revolves so as to be visible at inter-
vals of 20 seconds or three times in every minute, and may
be seen in all directions from seaward.
The light-tower stands at the distance of 452 feet in from
the shore, and is in lat. 4G deg. 37 min. 12 sec. N., and long,
