NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

In consequence of the strong south•west gale yes-
terday, the Phaeton, 50, Captain George Elliot, is
still at Spithead, and will not sail for Lisbon till the
weather is more settled.

The Hogue, 60, will, we understand, come into
Portsmouth harbour again to-day, and probably ship
another screw, and complete her coal.
The Tiger appears a fine vessel ; sbe carries 14
guns—viz., on her quarter-deck, one 68-pounder
solid shot gun, 91 feet, 86 cwt., pivot-gun, and four
long 32-pounders, 50 cwt.; forecastle, one 68-poun-
der, 10 feet, solid shot, 86 cwt., and two 32-pounders.
On her main deck, abaft engine, four 32- pounders,
9 feet, 50 cwt.; before engine, two 32-pounders, 50
cwt. She steamed round from Chatham at the rate
of 11 knots per hour. Mr. Belem, the master in
charge, and the men belonging to the Ocean, who
navigated the Tiger to Portsmouth, will probably
return by railway.
PORTSMOUTLI, SUNDAY.—The Hecate steam-sloop,
Commander G. S. Hand, arrived from Lisbon yester-
day with supernumeraries and invalids. She sailed
from the Tagus on the 9th as the Peninsular packet
from Gibraltar was entering. She reports political
affairs as in statu quo, and the community in some
commotion in consequence of the recent arrival of a
new Cardinal, whose installation took place on the
4th with grand eclat. A regal entertainment was
given on the occasion, to which acout 400 of the elite
of the country were invited, among whom were the
British Minister and the officers of the British
squadron, who, however, says our informant, de-
clined the honour to a man. Commodore Martin's
squadron experienced very heavy weather during
their late experimental trial, every ship prov-
ing herself an able sea-boat except the Dauntless,
which is reported to have rolled terrifically, losing all
topgallant-masts over the side in one of her heavy
lurches ; in running she beat every ship, but on a wind
was the leemost. The Arrogant is reported by far the
most efficient vessel, being able to steam (sails
furled) 8.6 knots per hour, while the Dauntless can
only keep up with her at that rate by the aid of her
sails. The latter sits deep in the water, and com-
pared with the Leander, Arethusa, and Arrogant is
low and ugly. The general appearance of these
beautiful frigates is perfectly yacht-like. It is
thought the Phaeton's sailing was unfair and spoilt by
the disproportioned show of canvass, and Captain
Gordon, of the Encounter, bolds the opinion that it is
impossible to determine the fastest rate of sailing in
any fcigate under the present system of allowing each
captain to trim his ship in accordance with his own
fancy. The Prince Regent is in admirable order.
The Hecate experienced awful weather on her pas-
sage out (eight days from Plymouth), meeting a gale
off Cape Finisterre, which washed away the captain's
gig and a.considerahle portion of her port paddle-
box. She lay to three days under storm trysails and
power of steam sufficient to keep steering way. She
is replenishing fuel, of which she brought home
half what she took out, although she did not coal at
Lisbon, and will be ready for service again in a day
or two.

The Persian, 12, Commander Bulman, having. suf-
fered much from sickness whilst at Grey-town, Mos-
quito, and lost several hands, it may be well to pub-
lish the names of those who have fallen victims to the
pestilence, in order to allay the apprehensions of
friends and relatives of survivors on board :—Assist-
ant-Surgeon Duncan ; quartermasters James Graham
and John Quinn; blacksmith, Timothy Collins;
captain of the mast, George Simmonds ; carpenter's
crew, John Turner ; ordinary seaman, John Colter,
first-class boys, William Gill and Edward Storey ;
private marine, Abel Skinner.

The Amphitrite, 25, is ordered to be recommis-
sioned at this port by Captain Charles Frederick
(1842). She will be ready to hoist the pendant on
the 31st inst.

The Havannah, 22, Captain Erskine, was at Auck-
land, New Zealand, on the 25th of July, having made
the passage from Sydney in the extraordinary short
space of six days and five hours. She was on the Ist
of August on a cruise to the islands northward—New
Hebrides, Loyalty, New Caledonia, and Soloman, for
the protection of British traders. She would return
to Sydney in November. All well.
PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate Inde-
fatigable, 50, Captain R. Smart, entered the Sound
yesterday afternoon, left Port Royal early in No-
vember, and touched at Bermuda on the 24th. Al-
though the yellow flag was flying at her mast head,
there was no sickness on board, and she was quickly
relieved from quarantine.

The crew of the Indefatigable have, during her
stay in the West Indies, suffered severely from yellow
fever and cholera. When the fever appeared among
the crew, at sea, the ship went to Port Royal ; on
arrival, they signalized their condition to the authori-
ties, and were answered that the cholera had just
broken out among the inhabitants ashore. The full
complement of the Indefatigable is 500 men, but she
is now 127 short of that number. Of these, 36 in all
have died, and about 80 are left in hospital at Port
Royal. There has been but one death since leaving
Port Royal, and three occurred before reaching Ber-
muda, when she was under quarantine. All the best
men have been attacked, and it is said that she
has not now more than 30 thorough-going seamen
on board. With the exception of Captain Smart,
First-Lieutenant R. J. Balfour, and one or two others,
all the officers have been ill, but no deaths have oc-
curred among them.
The chief boatswain's mate had his foot crushed
when assisting in getting out the ship's boat at Port
Royal; amputation was performed, and he is now on
board on duty.

The Indefatigable has experienced very wild
weather for the last few days.
The crew of her MajPsty's ship Albion, 90, Captain
W. J. 11. Johnstone will be paid wages on the 16th,
and on or about the 2.oth she will leave the Sound
and proceed to Queenstown, to relieve the Ajax, 60,
Captain 111`Quin, which screw steam-ship will then
come to this port. On her return to Queenstown the
Albion will sail for Lisbon.
The Winchester, 50, is getting on very rapidly in
her shipwright department. There are 462 men
he
of
different departments employed upon her, and
is to be out of hand by the 31st instant. She is to
relieve. Admiral Lord bundonald's flag-ship, the Wel-
lesley, on the North Ameriotin *tation•

Lieutenant S?combe having completed fitting the
launches of the St. George, 120, and Albion, 90, at the
westward, and the Britannia, 120, and Vengeance, 84,
at this port, by Adt-ri7alty order, on his plan for lay-
ing out anchors and chain cables, will now, we trust,
receive the just reward of his meritorious and benefi-
cial services—promotion.—Portsmouth Times and
Naral Gazette.
Penguin, 6, was commissioned on Tuesday, for
Commander Thomas Etherridge, and is to have a
complement of 76 officers and men. Her armament
will be 4 32-pounder carronades of 17 cwt., and 2
32 -pounder guns of 32 cwt., on Hardy's slides. She
was taken into dock the-following day to make good
defects.—lbid.

WOOLWICH, DEC.
(1845), to the Pandora, 6, brig, commissioned this
day at Devonport.
The Hercules store-ship, Master- Commander Ro-
bert Fulton, has arrived at Greenhithe, towed by the
Monkey and Jasper steam-vessels, and has brought
home a large quantity of old stores from Gibraltar
and the Mediterranean.
It is understood here that the seamen and Royal
Marines of the Plover Discovery ship, commissioned
on November 17, 1847, by Commander Thomas E.
L. Moore, for the expedition to Bhering's Straits,
will be sent home, their period of service having now
expired, and their places will be supplied by volunteers
from the vessels on the Pacific station. The Plover
will continue the duty for which she was commissioned,
and this arrangement is certainly far preferable to
commissioning another vessel to relieve the Plover.
It is intended to commission a steam- vessel fur ser-
vice on the New Zealand station, and it is probable one
of the iron war steamers will be selected for that
purpose, as it is not likely that she will be en-
gaged in warfare, which would injure her in that
part of the world. The iron steamers already built
might be usefully employ ed on many of the distant
stations, by employing one on each for general
pulpses until they are—worn out, which they will
be as soon, although unemployed, in home ports as
they would be in active service in any part of the
world.

General Radowitz, recently Prime Minister to
the King of Prussia, is at present on a visit to
this country, and has obtained official permission to
visit all her Majesty's dockyards. The General
visited the Rayal Arsenal here on Wednesday last,
and was accompanied over the foundry, the carriage
and laboratory departments, and the extensive range
of store rooms, by the heads of the various depart-
merits, who explained the nature of the works carried
on in them, and the purposes for which the prepared
stores are intended, giving information at the same
time of the quantities that can be made ready in a
limited period.

Tu GAS QUESTION.-It appears that a strong op-
position has been got up in the parish of St. James's, against
an amalgamation of the Chartered, Equitable, and London
Gas Companies, who have given notice to Parliament for a
Bill to unite their interests. The object, as fully set forth
in their public notices, is, by

at once to reduce their price for gas at least 20 per cent. It
cannot be doubted that existing companies, who have ex-
pended an enormous amount of capital in laying pipes and
constructing works, must feel it their interest, as it must un-
doubtedly be their conviction, that " half a loaf is better than
no bread at all." And the quotation of gas share* in the
market is perhaps the best evidence that the flourishing
statements made by projectors of new schemes have their
existence rather in the imagination than in the actual re-
venue of gas companies.—Herald.

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0 0/.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110 )

The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elemrits on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
broached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as are, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office n ill, by a constant anal} xis of its own
experience, from time to tin e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter Into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.

With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
Class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
bun in force for three years.

Insurances against Loss by Fire are cffecteti by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

A WELL-EARNED COAIPLIMENT.—CAPT. BINSTEAD.
n the 7th inst. Captain Binstead, R.N., received a letter
from the secretary of the Royal Humane Society, informing
him that the Court were pleased to " award hint the medal
for his humane and noble conduct in recently plunging into
the river Calder, and saving the life of a beautiful little girl."
This intimation, couched iu such expressive language, cannot
fail to be highly gratifying to the gallant captain for the
disinterested services rendered to an helpless child. It is
not, however, the possession of this testimonial which has
been presented to Captain Binstead that will prove the most
enduring, but the satisfaction in feeling that lie has been the
instrument in snatching from a watery grave a fellow-
Creature, though it was nearly at the cost of his own life. It
will be remembered that a child had, some time in October
last, unfortunately fallen into the river Calder, near Wake-
geld; and would moat certainly have been drowned had not
Captain Binstead come up at the moment, when he imme-
diately plunged, iu his clothes, into the water.—Doncaster

THE CONVICT HACKETT.—On Friday afternoon
information was received at the various metropolitan and
