NAVAL RNTELLIGENCE.

Letters from Rto express some disappointment at no
relief being sent out for the Southampton, 50, flag-ship,
the Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8.,
having expressed a wish to be superseded. It was re-
ported at Rio, however, that Rear-Admiral the lion.
Fleetwood Pellew would he the new Commander-in-
Chief it he pleased. The flag-ship bad suffered a few
cases of fever, one of which terminated fatally, but the
cold air to the sou'hward soon put the remainder on
their legs again. The squadron was healthy. Nearly
all caught the distemper at an island called Cobra°,
where the storehouses are situated. The Brazilians
were going to blockade the River Plate; by all ac•
counts they had sailed from Rio for that part of the
station, but had not arrived up to last advices from
thence. The Brazilian squadron is commmanded by an
Englishman.—Herald.
The Master-Attendant of Portsmouth Dockyard, Mr.
Underwood, accompanied by the officers of the pay
office, went off to Spithead to pay the Ajax, 60, screw-
ship, Captain Quin, and Hogue, 60, serew•ship, Captain
M'llougall, six months' wages. Both vessels are to
proceed to Cork to-day.
The wind moderated on Monday morning, and the
Devastation, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Campbell,
sailed from Spitbead for Devonport, where she will
await final orders for the West Indies.
The Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, sailed
from Portsmouth on Monday morning to help the screw-
ship Alegaara, en route to Queenstown for the Cape.
The royal yachts not being required for some time,
were removed up Portsmouth harbour to their moorings
yesterday morning.
The Porcupine, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander
Bacon, is returning stores and dismantling at Ports-
mouth.
Sappho, 12, Commander Hon. A. Cochrane, arrived
at Halifax May 22, from Bermuda.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—We had a heavy gale of
wind last night trom the westward, but the ships at
Spithead rode well with their topgallant masts on deck.
A barge, laden with ballast, belonging to Mr. P. Rolt,
the contractor, in coming out of Langatone harbour,
shipped a sea and sank. One man was drowned.
The Wellesley, 72, Captain G. Goldsmith, with the
flag of Admiral Earl Duedonald, arrived at Spithead
this afternoon from the West Indies. She came in
through the Needles, and saluted the flag of the Port-
Admiral with 17 guns, which the Victory returned
with 15.

DEVONPORT, TUESDAY.—The Chapman, from Sierra
Leone, coming to Catwatar on Monday evening, fouled
the Datch steam-frigate Merapi, and though injured
her but trifling, it will detain her three or four days.
APPOINTMENT.
WOOLWICH, JUNE 10.—Mate—John George W. P.
Edwardes (1850), from the 11-tribution steam-frigate,
on her passage home from Lisbon, to the Ajax, 58,
screw steam-ship, ordered to return from Portsmouth
to her former station at Cork.

The Hydra, 6, paddle wheel steam sloop, had her
steam up yesterday to try her engines, and will soon be
ready fur commission.

Tee Shi-arssater, 8, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, is also
nearly ready for active service.
Captain Johnson, of the Compass Department, has at
present in the hands of the principal compass-maker to
the Admiralty a standard compass in every respect the
same as the one he uses for adjusting the compasses of
the vessels of the royal navy, and it is intended to be
submitted to the inspection of the public in the Great
Exhibition at flyde-park.

Upwards of 100 foreigners visited Woolwich Dock-
yard last week, having obtained cards of admission from
the Legations of their tespfctive countries, and upwards
of ninety visited it during the previous week. It may
be advisable to mention, to prevent disappointment, that
when application is made at the Legation for a card of
admission the names of the whole of the persons in-
tended to form a party should be given, that they may
be written on the card, as several disappointments have
taken place, owing to persons having applied for a card
and taken several friends with them whose names had
not b• ea previously given, and were consequently, not
permitted to visit the yard, the instructions to the direc-
tor of police being very stringent in that respect.

rADVERTISEICENT.j—HOMDWay'S Pills an excellent
Remedy for Impurity of Blood and general Derangement of
Health.—Alany persons of robust habits frequently suffer from
a dangerous determination of blood to the head, benumbed
feelings in the limbs, heaviness and drowsiness arising from
the blood being in a bad state; the stomach in such cases i
generally out of order, with little or no appetite. Such indi-
viduals sh,:uld take a course of Holloway's Pills. Thousands
who had been given up as incurable by the faculty have been
thoroughly reinvigorated in constitution, and restored to the
uninterrupted enjoyment of good health by this admirable
remedy.--Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway, si

were—Midland (Birmingham and Derby), 30% sbrews-
bury and Birmingham (B), 452 South-Eastern and Dover,

STATE OF TRADE.-MANCHESTER, JUNE 10.—We
have bad rather more cheerfulness in the market, and,
though business did not open favourably, there were some
considerable orders given out before the close of the day. In
yarns 30's to 40's mule were again in considerable request
in consequence of the orders in the bands of manufacturers
for low qualities of 40-inch shirting suitable to the eastern
markets. In some cases as much as Vad. to lAid. per
pound advance for these yarns was obtained. Water
twist for warps, suitable for the same description of goods,
was also in good demand, and prices advanced a shade.
For some few descriptions of cloth, which are low in
stock, or difficult to obtain in consequence of extensive
contracts, prices also exhibited a hardening tendency ;
but as yet the reports of improvement are by no means
general, and some of our principal houses report but a
moderate business. The prices of both cloth and yarn in
general demand for the export trade can be bought readily
at last prices. In the lighter kinds of long cloths and
T cloths there is more business, but no improvement in
prices.

GLASGOW POLICE STATISTICS.—In the month Of
May no fewer than 823 persons were Lrought before the ma-
gistrate, charged with every conceivable crime and contra-
vention—from child-murder and serious assaults down to
hanging clothes outside of windows. Out of the above
total, the numbers brought up on criminal charges were 187,
viz.-116 males and 71 females; and these were disposed of
either by the sitting magistrate or remitted to higher courts
—the great majority of the prisoners, viz., 130, being
accused cf thefts. It is woi thy of remark, that these crimi-
nals are not the deplorably ignorant persons they are geFe-
rally supposed to be. Out of the 187 (many of them being
under 15 years of age), 136 are able to read, and 79 able to
read and write.—North British Mail.
YANKaE•DOODLE.—In a curious book on the
round towers of Ireland (I forget the title), the origin of the
term "Yankee-doodle was traced to the Persian phrase,
" Yank dooniah," or " Inhabitants of the New World."
Layard, in his boook on " Nineveh and its Remains," also
mentions " Yanghi-dunia" as the Persian name of America.

25s 8d
HULL, JUNE 10.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states : —We have
still to report moderate arrivals of all descriptions of grain, and
a good inquiry, for consumers take off all fresh-conditioned
grain at some improvement in value. The feeling gains
ground that the extreme of depression in wheat has past, and
that storks in farmers' hands being light, we may, with con-
tinued small arrivals, experience some advance in this article.
A good deal of rain has fallen during the past seven days,
which must have been very acceptable to the agriculturist,
though fine sunny weather is now desirable, the temperature
having been below par for the month of June. We had only
a moderate show of wheat from our own and neighbouring
farmers; and, as is usual on a rising market, much was said of
the smallness of the stocks left in their hands. The demand
from millers was exceedingly good, and prices of all desalt).
tions must be quoted fully Is to 2s per qr dearer than last
week; good runs of red fetched readily 42s to 44s per qr, na-
tural w,ight 631bs per bushel. The quantity of foreign offer-
ing from shipboard is exceedingly limited, and as yet ware-
housed parcels hardly come into play. We quote good red
wheats I s dearer, but white wheats, which have all along
been held relatively high, do not fully participate in the ad-
vance. We have very small stocks of all descriptions of spring
corn in warehouse here, and arrivals insignificant. Without
particularizing, all provender articles are Is per qr dearer.
The linseed market has recovered from its late depression,
aided by the improvement in oil, and general demand for
feeding articles; linseed cakes fully maintain our currency.
with little inclination on the part of crushers to make con-
tracts. Nothing doing in rapeseed, while our quotations are
supported for rape cakes, with only moderate supplies. Boo°,
are in brisk demand, and our top quotations paid.
