THE NORTH v. THE SOUTH.
This was the return match, and was played at Lea-
mington the three last days of the past week. As in the

against their opponents in the present instance, for vic-
tory was once more declared in favour of the North, who
won in one innings by 116 runs. The following is the
score:—

South, first innings ...

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Midshipman—Louis Chichester, to the Thetis, 38, at
Devonport.
The following officers passed their examinations at
the College on Tuesday last for the rank of lieute-
nant:—Lieutenants Theodore M. Jones and H. C. Ma-
jendie, who !.have been acting lieutenants. The former
was appointed to the Howe, Jan. 20, 1849, and the latter
to the Caledonia, Sept. 5, 1849, and came home in the
Vengeance.
Mates—James S. Bushnell passed in seamanship, Jan.

Report now gives the command in chief of the Pacific,
to Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir FL. etwuod Pellew, C.B.
But this, like all the previous statements, are mere re-
ports. It is a fact, however, that Rear-Admiral Press-
cott, C. 8., superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, is a
candidate for this command. The gallant admiral was
commodore on that station for some time; and we believe
that Sir Fleetwood Pellew, Rear-Admiral Moresby, C. 8.,
and Rear-Admiral Peter John Douglas, are among the
candidates fur this lucrative appointment.
Blenheim, 60, screw steam guard-ship, at Portsmouth,
Captain Henderson, C. 8., has been ordered to prepare
for going to sea, and will go out of harbour to Spithead
to-day. She has received 100 additional bands from the
Excellent, and her crew has been increased to about 450.
These are sufficient (as she has some very good seamen
on board) to work the ship, but would not be sufficient
to man her heavy guns. However, it her services should
be required as a fighting ship, she could easily embark
200 additional marine artillerymen, when she would be
a most formidable ship. She throws a heavier broad-
side than the Collingwood, 80.
It is reported that the Ajax, 60, screw-ship, is ordered
to Spithead, from Cork.
Furious, paddle-wheel steamer, of 1,286 tons, built
and designed by Mr. Fincham, Portsmouth dockyard,
will be launched from one of the new slips on the 26th
instant. That day being the anniversary of the birth of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to honour it the
launch will probably be une grande affaire. It is also
supposed that on the same day the ceremony of opening
the new dock at the north-west corner of Portsmouth
yard will take place, and that the Neptune, 120, will be
brought into it. This dock is the most capacious that
we have in any of our naval arsenals. It is a beauti-
fully constructed piece of masonry, and has been built
by Mr. Bramble, the contractor, for the purpose of dock-
ing steamers of the greatest magnitude.
Inflexible, 6, sloop-steamer. Commander Dyke, sailed
on Tuesday evening from Spithead for Plymouth, en
route for the West Indies. The Alban, steam-tender,
Lieutenant Commander Crawford, to be convoyed by
her, proceeded direct from Sheerness to Devonport.
Marlborough. 120, will be laid down at Portsmouth,
as soon as the Furious is launched. A part of her tim-
bers are now alongside the slip, and will partially form
seats and standing places for the visitors to view the
launch of the Furious.
Niger, screw-sloop, Commander Heath, went to Spit-
head last evening, where she will receive her powder and
shells, &c. She fired a royal salute yesterday morning
on the arrival of the Court. She will leave Spithead on
Friday for Plymouth, and sail on Saturday for the coast
of Africa.
Plumper, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth, on her
way to St. John's, New •Brunswick, got aground in
Digby Gut (N.S.), July 25, but got off in about six
hours, with loss of false keel, &0., and is now in Digby
basin.

Rochester, lighter, Mr. Downward, second master, in
charge, put into Devonport fill up, bound to Gibraltar,
with stores for the exercising squadron.
Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart.,
was taken into the angle-dock at Portsmouth yesterday
morning to have her copper examined. She will possibly
require new copper.
Wizard, apprentices' brig, Lieutenant Barnard, went
out of Devonport Harbour on Monday, and sailed on
Monday morning for Queenstown.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Tier Majesty's yacht
Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzllarence, embarked
the green and Court at Osborne this morning, at a
quarter-past ten o'clock, fir Gosport, en route to Lon-
don. Her Majesty was received on landing at the
Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment by the digni-
taries of the port and garrison and a guard of honour
of the 28th Regiment, commanded by Major Adams.
The usual salute s and ceremonies were observed. The
royal party left the Clarence-yard at eleven o'clock, in a
special train, under the charge of Chief Superintendent
Godson, and Mr. Beattie, superintendent of the carriage
department of the South-Western Railway Company.
The Court will return on Friday morning to Osborne.
The Flamer steam-vessel is ordered to be commis-
sioned at this port by Commander St. Leger, and to have
a complement of sixty men.
WOOLWICH, AUGUST 14.—Official notice was re-
ceived yesterday evening at Woolwich dockyard of the
following promotions and appointments, dated the 10th
instant:—

to be first class clerk, vice Pinhorn.
Mr. William Evans Trafalgar Miller, senior third
clerk, to be second class clerk, vico Burr, promoted.

Rogers, who was upset in a boat on Friday last in Half-
way Reach. The body was found this morning at Erith,

ono of the clerks went to Erith to identify the body.

seus, and a similar number will be iusmediately draughted
to serve in the Crocodile, stationed off the Tower of
London.

yesterday was taken round to Chatham to be immediately
made ready for sea. She was under the charge of
