NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Cygnet brig, 6,
Commander D. Robertson, arrived yesterday evening
from the coast of Africa, bringing the first mail thence
since the 23,1 of December. Mails are sent monthly
o the coast, but no pains seem to be taken to secure
the return communication. She sailed from St.
Helena on the 10th of January, Ascension on the
16th, and Sierra Leone the Ist of February.
She last saw the Centaur steam-frigate, bearing the
broad pendant of Comtnodore Buckle, on the 28th of
February, off St. Anne's Shoals, just south of Sierra
Leone, going down to the Gallmas, on her way to
the Bights.
The squadron was thus distributed when she left
the station:—
Northern Division—The Alert, 6 ; Heroine, 8 ;
Wolverine, 12; Teazer, 4 (screw); and Adelaide.
tender.

In the Bights of Benin—The Kingfisher, 12 ;
Ranger, 8; Ilecla and Pf cenix, steam-slcops ; and
Bonetta, brigantine.
Southern Division—The Cyclops, steam-frigate ;
Sealark, 8; Star, 6 ; Flying-fish, 12; Waterwitch,
8 ; Rattler, 6 ; Pluto, 2 ; Spy, 3 ; and Firefly, steam-
vessel. _ _

At Ascension—The Tortoise, store and guard-ship,
and the Snap, tender.
The Gladiator, steam-frigate, Captain Adams, had
not arrived at Ascension when the Cygnet left.
Lieutenant Branch and Assistant-Surgeon Trous-
dell, of the Cyclops, have come home invalided in the
Cygnet, which has made nine prizes whilst on the
coast and liberated 1,500 slaves. The slave trade was
brisk. Squadron healthy.
The Cygnet sailed this afternoon for Plymouth, to
be paid off.
The Lily, 14, Commander Bedford, went out to
Spithead this morning under canvass, and saluted as
usual.
Captain Sir Baldwin W. Walker,' K.C.8., Sur-
veyor of the Navy, is on an official visit at this port.
Some members of the Board of Admiralty were ex-
pected to join him to-day, but their Lordships have
been prevented by other business from coming.
The Electra, 14, and the Rapid, 8, were brought
down to-day to be docked for repair as soon as a dock
becomes vacant. _ _

PLYMOUTH, MARCII 23.—Her Majesty's ship
Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, after her return from
cruising in the Channel, is to go up harbour to refit.
The reserve steam-vessel Salamander cruised round
the Eddystone yesterday (Friday) ; the Vulture goes
to-day, and the Styx is to proceed on Monday. They
are then to be in readiness, on the shortest notice, for
commission.

The freight-ship Lord Bentinek embarked 1 ser-
geant, 2 corporal, and 25 privates of the Royal
Sippers and Miners from the head-quarters at Wool-
wich on Saturday 1;1,1-, under the charge of Lieu-
tenant Chesney, Royal Engineers, and lift the same
afternoon for New Zealand. Four gunners of the
Royal Artillery embarked at the same time for the
same destination to fill up the detachment of Artillery
at that station.

The Blenheim, hired convict-ship, Mr. Molieon
master, left her moorings opposite the Royal Arienal
on Saturday afternoon with a number of convicts
guarded by a company of pensioners from Tilbury-
fort, for Van Diemen's Land.
Captain E. Ommanney, cf the Assistance, fitting up
for the Arctic expedition, never commanded the
Virago, as has been stated by a contemporary, and,
consequently, Lieutenant B. Cator never served with
him in that vessel. Captain, then Commander, Om-
manney, commanded the Vesuvius steam-sloop on the
Mediterranean station, for three years, but Lieutenant
Cator never served in that vessel.
