NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 19.—His Majesty's steamer
Firebrand, Lieutenant Baldock, arrived on Tuesday
morning at Falmouth, from the Mediterranean--left
Cadiz 10th inst. The following came passengers—
Lieutenant Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, Cap-
tain Buller, Mr. Hay, Miss' Wilson and servant,
Mr. and Mrs. S,anton and two children, Mr. and
Mrs. and the two Misses Gilbert, Mr. Naish, and

The Reindeer packet, Lieutenant Dicken, arrived
on Tuesday morning at Falmouth from Buenos
Ayres—left Monte Video February 3.—Woodbine
Parish, Esq. the British Envoy to that country, his
lady, Mr. Young, his secretary, family, and suite,
came passengers by her.
The Stanmer packet arrived at Falmouth on Tues-
day morning from Lisbon—left the Tagus on the
Ist inst. The Baron Quintilla had offered a con-
siderable sum to Don Miguel, which ►vas not ac-
cepted, and he was about to take some severe
measures with the nobility to enforce the payment of
the loan.

The Parmelia transport, Jones, arrived off the
port on Tuesday, from Sierra Leone, in 62 days,
with troops, stores, &c. She landed here Mrs.
Murray, servant, and child. The Conflict gun-brig,
Lieutenant Smirhers, had been from Sierra Leone
since October last, and was supposed to have gone
on the Brazil coast.

The Rhadainanthus new steam-vessel was floated
out of dock on Monday afternoon, in the presence of
a very gay assemblage; the amateur band of the
dock-yard was in attendance, and the whole scenes
from its novelty, had a very imposing effect.
The packet brig Sphinx is to be paid off, and
Lieutenant Passingham is to commission the Shel-
drake in lieu.

The Industry and Hope naval transports sailed
on Friday for Woolwich, and the Marquess of
Handy and Amphitrite transports, for Portsmouth.
The Trinculo, 18 guns, was commissioned yester-
day by Commander James Richard Booth. We
believe he was First Lieutenant of this ship when
she was paid off at this port about six years since.
In Hamoaze—San Josef, Trinculo, Romney, Ju-
piter, Echo steamer, Sphynx packet.
In the Sound—Caledonia.

Lord and Lady Mulgrave embark for Jamaica, at

bruary ; and Pallas for the Leeward, 18th ditto.

families, who have left in consequence of the cholera
committing such ravages in France.

Captain Sir Francis Collier, C.B. is positively
named for the command of the Vernon ; this
active Officer, it is understood, is to fit her out,
and to make a trial of her at sea. It is supposed
she is destined ultimately to bear the flag of the
Commander-in-Chief in South America. The
Vernon is to be launched on the 30th inst.

PATRAS, MARCH 12.—His Majesty's ship
Pelican arrived here on the 22d ult., and will remain for
the protection of the British and lonian trade, during the
present disturbed state of this country. On the Bth inst.
a Russian frigate and a French brig of war arrived, to act
in concert with the Pelican, for the protection of the
town. Some small armed boats have committed acts of
piracy in the Gulf of Lepanto.

GLASGOW, APRIL 17.—From the Inver-
ness Journal we observe that great exertions are making
in that quarter to establish a regular steam navigation be-
tween London and the northern counties of Scotland__a
scheme which, if brought to bear, must, we are certain,
be attended with immense advantages. A declaration to
the effect of supporting such a project has, we observe,
been signed by the principal Noblemen and Gentlemen of
ttlese counties, as well as by the towns and harbours of
Forres, Nairn, Dingwall, Fortrose, Tain, Cromarty, Dor-
noch, llroughhead, Fort George, and Inverness.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—At a time
when so many persons are quitting England, and about
to become settlers in the New World, the cheap edition of
Mr. Galt's work, called " Lawrie Todd, or the Settlers in
the Woods," just published, will, no doubt, prove a wel-
come guide to the emigrant, since all the details included
in the volumes are drawn from life. The hero of the
story actually keeps a seed-store at New York at the pre-
sent moment, and is not a little proud that his own suc-
cessful career has been so ably depicted by the pen of this
popular novelist.

On the 11th instant, nearly two-thirds of the
village of Conde, about three leagues from Bar-le-Due,
were destroyed by a fire, which broke out at seven o'clock
in the morning. The village consists of one long street ;
and before the expiration of an hour, such was the vio-
lence of the wind awl the rapidity of the flames, that the
whole of one range, and a considerable portion of the
other, was enveloped in one general conflagration. A si-
milar fare occurred in 1788, when, on the Bth of October,
250 houses were destroyed, occasioning a loss estimated at
upwards of 400,000 f. The recent event will, however,
amount in loss to a much more considerable sum, though
the number of houses burnt is only 150. According to
the rough calculation made, it will not be less than
550,000 f. The greater part of the houses were insured.

SUICIDE.—An inquest was yesterday held at
the Lamb and Lion, Drummond-street, Somers-town, on
the body of JANE MILLS, aged 26, who cut her throat
on Tuesday afternoon. About six months since she be-
came an unfortunate girl, in consequence of being out of
place. Aco .ch-tritnmer met her casually four months
ago, and agreed to live with her. This he did for a little
time at a house in Churchway, St. Pancras. As be was a
married matt, and had children, he afterwards only visited
her, and lately he told her he could not keep her u be-
fore. This intimation, it appeared, caused her to commit
suicide. The Coroner made some severe observations on
the profligacy of a married man cohabiting with another
female. Verdict—" Temporary Derangement."
DOING THE " DEED."—A short time since
a tailor's apprentice was '°strutting and fretting his
hour upon the stage" of Prat's private theatre, in Gray's
Inn-lane, in the character of Macbeth, and having ex.
claimed, " I have done the deed !"—his master, a
re-
spectable tradesman in Oxford-street, standing up in the
pit, called out to his hopeful apprentice----r` That's not
true—you hav'n't mended Mr. GREENE'S sraallclothes -
and curse tne if you shan't catch it ! Done the der tit in-
deed! why, you hav'n't done a stitch of work for the last
three days !" Sunday Times.

STATEnet branch TRA,,n DE. The cambric and
jaco
trade,---
formerly the staple
manufacture of this town, are nearly extinct here, as very
few are made by the town weavers, and we understand
the demand for them in the market is very dull. In fancy
raavdins very little is doing ; and lenoes, of which some
time since a great quantity were made in this town, are
Oof F the muslin
now nearly at a stand. Few weavers are, however, out of
employ, as, very happily, the exotic branches lately intro-
duced here from other quarters, namely ginghams, silk
m°untaizs, Stripes, shades, &c., are in great request, and
the demand for weavers to work them continues ; and
though the wages are low, they are much better remune-
rated than in the regular muslin trade. These sorts of
manufacture have been chiefly introduced into the town
by the Manchester and Pilkington houses. The bedquilt and
counterpane trade continues unprecedentedly fiat, and the
manufacturers complain that the sales are now prufitess;
of course this has a bad effect upon the weavers. We be-
lieve the artisans in the various branches of mechanics are
fairly employed and at good wages. On the whole, a tole-
rable summer trade might be reasonably anticipated if the
Reform question was settled, and the quarantine laws
abolished, as they each have at present a paralyzing effect
upon the industry and enterprise of the country.—Bolton
Chronicle.
