NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 19.—We learn by letters received from
the river Gambia, dated7June 6, that the /Etna surveying-
vessel, Commander Arlett (acting), had returned there from
surveying the river Cacheo ; that, after accurately ascertain-
ing some of the head-lands between that river and the gut of
Gibraltar, she would return to England to refit, having in
charge the Matilda, of London. This brig had been freighted
to convey 100 volunteer seamen for the Brazilian navy to Rio
Janeiro, who, when they had reached near to the coast of
Africa, mutinied and refused to prosecute the voyage. The
Captain, from necessity, put into Goree as the nearest port,
and sought protection from the French flag for his personal
safety and that of the brig and cargo. From that port a
French sloop-of-war was sent to protect her to the Gambia,
where she was given up to Commander Arlett, of the /Etna.
The crew of the /Etna had been reduced by the loss of 16 of
her crew by casual illness during her service of surveying.—
She may be daily expected to arrive.
The Malabar, 74, Captain Marsham, which arrived at
Plymouth yesterday se'nnight, left Napoli di Romania on the
2d ult., in company with the squadron under Sir Josias Rowley,
from which she and the Alfred parted company the next day,
the other ships being ordered to resume their summer station
at Vourla. All was tranquillity at Napoli. Sir Josias Rowley
was present at the ceremony of presenting a set of colours to a
newly-raised regiment on the Ist ult., The' Malabar and
Alfred arrived at Malta on the Bth ult., and sailed again on the
12th, leaving there only the Ceylon, with the flag of Rear-
Admiral Superintendent Sir T. Briggs. The Malabar reached
Gibraltar on the 26th, but, in consequence of the cholera being
prevalent, she did not communicate with the shore, only re-
ceiving dispatches thence. Fourteen deaths had recently oc-
curred. The Canopus left Gibraltar on the 6th, and the Tyne
on the 7th, to join the squadron.
The Lulworth cutter yacht, of 127 tons, was lately sold by
Joseph Wild, Esq., to an unknown party, and delivered over
to Captain Mingaye, who sailed some weeks since on a secret
service, we believe, of a political nature.
The Alfred, 50, Captain Maunsell, arrived at Chatham on
Wednesday last from the Mediterranean, to be paid off. She,
as well as the Asia, will be paid off all standing, and imme-
diately re-commissioned.
When the last accounts left Rio (22d May), a decree was
under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, prohibiting the
ex-Emperor (the Duke of Braganza) from residing in any
part of the Brazils, even as a foreigner and in a private capa-
city, under pain of being treated as an enemy to the State.
On Sunday the Marquis of Hastings sailed for the Cape of
Good Hope and Bombay. Mr. Field (late of our Customs),
promoted to be Collector of the Customs at Simon's Town,
his wife, and five children, went passengers. On Tuesday the
Malabar, for the Cape and Bombay ; Norfolk, with convicts,
for Sydney; and the Morley, for Ceylon, also proceeded on
their voyage:..

The Melville, 74 ( Sir J. Gore), left Bombay Bth March,
for Madras. The Imogene, 28 ( Captain Hart acting), was
daily expected, and to follow, to Madras. The Comus left
Halifax June 16, for Newfoundland ; the Victor, from Pictou,
on a cruise. The Sparrowhawk, 16, was at Bahia on the
Ist June.
The Isis, 52, ( Captain Polkinghorne with the flag of Rear-
Admiral Warren), and the Trinculo, 10, Corn. Warren (act-
ing), were at the Cape of Good Hope on the 29th May, hav-
ing arrived a few days previously from a nine months' cruise on
the western coast of Africa, for the suppression of slave trading.
The Salamander steamer, Commander Castles, came in
from Jersey on Tuesday, having conveyed to that island the

102 d from Portsmouth, and the 97th from Plymouth, have
been ordered to be transferred to the Woolwich division, to
increase the strength in that quarter.

PROGRESS OF DRESS.—To describe the progress
of dress in England would require a volume. It is a curious
fact, that as Henry VIII. increased in size, the clothes of his
courtiers were often stuffed to make them resemble him I The
custom appears to have descended even to domestics, and is
still partly commemorated in the habits of the yeomen of the
guard. The farthingale, or large hooped petticoat, was
brought from Spain under Queen Mary. With Elizabeth, it
should be remarked, that ruffs of plaited linen round the neck
and wrists were much worn. Until the invention of starch,
they were supported out by pieces of ivory ; but about this
period the art of starching was brought from Flanders ; and
in 1564, the wife of Guillim Boenen starched for the whole
court. The beards m ere then trimmed to a point, hanging
down at the division of the ruff. In the time of Charles I.
the hair was worn longer, and the mouth was in the centre of
a triangle formed by the mustachios and pointed beard.

The Nouvelliste Vaudois has the following :---
thing is talked of at Zurich but a great popular asses of
convoked for July 20, to which is attributed the desigo.66
overthrowing the Diet, and establishing a Central Ilona
Government. The authorities of the Canton of Zurich lot
themselves in readiness to thwart this design. We nY
believe that anything like it is the object of a popular
bly. It will probably demand a Federal Constituent Asses ,
bly, but it will not take upon itself to overthrow by violecip
the federal authorities, and throw Switzerland into onal:..,sti.
The retrograde conduct of the Vorort is producings its frir,f,
A reaction manifests itself at several points of tfia, coulDt;',s
Already several cantons have begun to talk of half mew
