THE PRINCESS'S TIIEATRE.—This theatre is soon
to undergo an alteration in the character of its management.
This has been for some time treated only as a rumour,
but it is now become a certainty Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean
are. in connexion with Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, about to em-
bark in its management, Mr. Maddox having concluded
terms with both parties, and agreed to resign in their favour.
The deed of partnership is in preparation by a solicitor of
eminence. Whitsuntide is the period named for the new
parties taking possession of the theatre, though the season
will not commence till the autumn. Several performers
of high standing have, it is said, been already spoken of
R engaged,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Crocodile tre p-
ship, lately bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Di x on
at Queenstown, arrived here to-day, and is Ord Br ed
forthwith to Sheerness to be paid off.
The Diligence naval transport arrived here to .d ay
from Plymouth.
THE WEST INDIA. SQUADRON.
A court-martial was held at Port Royal, on. :the
16th ult., to try Commander Michell, of her Majes..t, y's
sloop Sappho, and the other officers and ship's c
a-
pany of that vessel, for running the Sappho on s'ai )re
on the Seal Cays, one of the innumerable reefs at • the
entrance of the Gulf of Honduras, on the night or the
25th of Decembar last.
The Court was composed of Commodore Bentrs ett,
president • Captain Goldsmith, of the Wellesli ;
Captain Warren, of the Trincomalee ; Comma a. der
De Courcy, of the Helena, and Commander Bul m an,
of the Persian.
Commander Michell was sentenced to be dism le sed
his ship, the Court considering that negligence had
been shown in the navigation of the sloop.
The officer of the watch, Lieutenant Mal. atiltn,
was censured for not seeing the lead constantly ihove
by the man placed in the chains by Commander .Mi-
chell's written night orders, and admonished t s.o be
more careful in future.
Mr. Mugford, the second-master (acting as me seer)
was considered to have shown negligence, and was
consequently sentenced to be reduced to the rat t k of
master's-assistant, and to remain in that rank fors two

years.
Great praise was given to the commander f( w his
unwearied exertions (notwithstanding his weak state
from long sickness, broken aria, Ss-c ,) in gettin: off
the ship and recovering ail the guns (which had been
thrown overboard) and stores.
Objections were made by Lieutenant Malcolm, Mr.
Mugford, second-master; Mr. Charles Palmer, ac: Ling
mete ; and Mr. Alexander Burniston to some .por-
tions of the address of defence made by COMM£ der
Michell, but the Court declared them to be " frfsvo-
lous and malicious."
Commander Michell produced some of the higi'sest
testimonials an officer can receive, eminently chat ac-
terising his conduct as an officer and a seaman clue ing
a period of 28 years' service. This officer was ire the
Burmese war, and produced affidavits from all the
pilots on that coast testifying to the strength of 7 the
currents, and of their having been more pow e rful
than usual about the time of the accident. The) t also
testified to the fact that of 12 vessels which had been
driven on those destructive shoals, her Maj eety's
sloop Sappho was the only one which had bee, a re-
covered.
0 wing to the thickness of the weather no obs srva-
tion that could he depended on could be obtaine,
A court of inquiry. was
.previously held on lsaartl
the Imaum on the I irst Lieutenant (Wynn) for dis
respect to his Commander (Michell), which res ulted
in his censure, and being compelled to make 4,:e4om-
mender Michell a public apology on the quarter-deck
of the Talcum.
PLYAIOUTII7 Arleen 20.—The steam-vessels Cue&
ance and Avon got under way this morning to tow
her Majesty's ship Superb into the Sound, but stvong
winds from the S.S.W. preveuted her leaving Hoene--
see. Should the weather prove favourable, she will
go down on Monday, be paid wages, and.the nex t day
proceed to the Mediterranean to relieve the Ven-
geance, 80, coming home to be paid off.
The Archer steam-vessel is ordered to the East
Indies to relieve the Fury steam-vessel, ordered to
England.
The ship Ramilies, Captain Maclean, sailed on
Thursday for Van Diemen s Land. Iler total nil m-
ber of passengers is 196, among whom are the witves
and families of several convicts. Her cabin pass en-
ger, are Mr. Murphy, for Port Philip, and Mr.
Nichols, Van Diemen 's Land. Mr. Lennell and
family proceed in her steerage for Van Dieraen's
Land. The last-named gentleman emigrates accord-
ing to Government arrangements upon a plan not ge-
nerally known. He deposits 3001. for land; his fa-
mily consists of seven statute adults, and he has had
to deposit 1401. on that head, which will be remitted
to him. For the 3001. he has received letters of credit
for Crown lands in the colonies, and passages for all
the faM i
ily. The scale of charges is per adult—cabin,
50/. ; intermediate, 25/. ; and for steerage, 201.; and
for the purchase of land the Commissioners. expect 201.
per statute adult to be paid into their hands previous
to embarcation.
Wind, S.W.; blowing strong.
Woonwicu, APRIL 22.—The Locust steam-vessel,
100-horse power, under the charge of Lieutenant-
Commander William C. Nowell, of the Ardent steam-
vessel, arrived at this port to-day to he paid off here.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander
Petley, has completed taking coals on board, and
is to be held in readiness to tow the Maria Eugene
hired freight ship, loaded with stores for Captain
Austin's Arctic expedition, from Deptford to 600
miles beyond Stroinness, near the borders of the ice.
Captain Sir John Ross left London on Saturday
evening for Ayr to expedite the vessel he is about to
proceed in to the Arctic regions in search of Captain
Sir John Franklin and the officers and crews of the
Erebus and Terror discovery ships. Commander
Phillips, at present studying steam at Woolwich, has
obtained permission of the Lords of the Lords of the
Admiralty to accompany Sir James Ross in his
searching expedition.
The Undine steam-vessel was taken into the basin
on Friday last, and six of the engineers on check,
under Lieutenant Robertson, of Woolwich, placed
on her to make the necessary repairs, instead of
sending men afloat from the factory as was previously
the case. The new arrangements of employing the
engineers of the royal navy afloat when vessels have
to get their engines repaired at any of the ports
must be highly beneficial to them, and render them
snore capable of remedying any defects which may
occur in vessels in which they may be serving on
foreign stations.
The Jasper and Advice steam-vessels returned to
Woolwich yesterday evening, having towed the Her-
cules storeship to the Downs.
