NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, MAY 16.—The American packet President
(one of the regular line), Captain Moore, arrived here from
New York on Sunday, having effected her voyage, out and
home (including her stoppage of 13 days at that port), in the
remarkably short time of 55 days. This fine vessel made her
three last passages across the Atlantic in 60 days !
The Pique, 36, Hon. Captain Rous, still remains at Spit-
head • there is no doubt, however, that her destination is
Quebec, to which place she will convey the Board of Com-
missioners which it is intended to send out to examine into the
causes of difference between the Executive Government and
the Houses of Assembly.
The Chameleon brig, Lieutenant Bradley, arrived yester-
day from a cruise off the Sussex coast, where she was sent
to prevent disputes between our own and the French fishermen.
The Messenger, steamer, took in tow the late Excellent,
of 74 guns, on Wednesday last, and assisted by her jury
sails, is to convey her to the river to be broken up. The
Tweed, 20 guns, and Sapphire, 28 guns, went out of the
basin, and the Clio, 18 guns, went out of dock into the basin
on Wednesday. _ _

The Romney, troop-ship, with the 27th Regiment on
board, for the Cape of Good Hope, sailed from Cork on Sun-
day last.

In Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Magi-
cienne, Sapphire, Tweed, and Clio.
At Spithead,—Pique, and Chameleon.
The Sapphire, 28 guns, Captain Rowley, and the Tweed,
20 guns, Captain T. Maitland, will go out of harbour in a
few days ; the former is destined for the Mediterranean, the
latter it is understood will relieve the Nimrod at Lisbon. _

The Shamrock, revenue brig, Lieutenant Keeling, arrived
on Monday from the coast of Ireland.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 16.—Orders have been received at the
Dock- Yard here, to hasten the Champion in her fitments for
foreign service.
The Arachne, 18, Commander James Burney, is expected
hourly to arrive at this port from Portsmouth, in order to be
paid off.
Orders have been received to pay off the Leveret, 10,
Lieutenant- Commander Traill, on Tuesday next.

The Constitution American frigate, 60, 'Commodore Elliot,
which had been detained here some days, sailed this morning
for New York.

In Hamoaze.—The San Josef, Champion, Nimrod, and
Leveret.

In the Sound.—The Concord Merchantman, waiting for a
fair wind to proceed to Spain.

Maranham, 16/d. ; 200 Peruvian, 15d. ; 50 Bahia, 15d. ; 50
Pernam, 161 d., and 10d. a 18d. ; 2,000 American, 101 d. and
13d. ; 2,500 bags. There is an expectation of a further im-
provement in long stapled kinds, which may be advanced
materially.
WooL.-A limited business has been done in our Wool
Market this week, the sales being limited to a small quantity
of laid Highland and Cheviot. The following are the quota-
tions :-Laid Highland, from 10s. 2d. to 10s. 4d. ; White

Comi.-Since Tuesday the arrivals of Grain here have
been quite trivial, except a few cargoes of Oats, which were
off the port before the easterly winds set in. At to-day's mar-
ket business was dull, however, and little was done in Wheat,
except the purchase of a few quarters on speculation. Barley,
Malt, Beans, and Peas stand at Tuesday's quotations, without
an

creased lately, the demand was more spirited, and the last
prices fully attained.

Alphonse de Lamartine the poet, and member of
the French Academy, as it appears from one of their Jour-
nals, has received three thousand pounds sterling for his
" Pilgrimage to the Holy Land." High prices are therefore
not confined to literary men in England.
