NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Captain the Right Hon. Lord George Pau'et, who
is to recommission the Bilerophon, 78, Captain
Baynes, on the papng off that ship at Devonport, is
son of the Marquis of Winchester, has a brother
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 68th Regiment, and the
Coldstream Guards, and is brother-in-law to Captain
Rarnsden, R.N., arid Lieutenant Charles Des Vceux,
Bart. He has served 18 years afloat since his entry
into the navy, through the college, in 1817. He
served bis time in the Liffey, 50; Cambrian, 48 ;
Racehorse, 18 ; and Active, 46, chiefly in the Chan.
nel ; passed his examination ; and February, 1825.
whilst on the South American station, was promoted
from Blanche, 46, into the Jasseur, 18. O'Byrne does
not record in what vessel his Lordship served his time
as a Lieutenant, but we find he was promoted to a
commander Feb. 28, 1828. In that rank from March,
1830, to June, 1834, he commanded the Nautilus in
the Channel on the coast of Ireland ; in the Douro
and Tagus during the whole of the civil war in Por-
tugal, and subsequently off the north coast of Spain
at the commencement of the civil hostilities. He was
promoted to his present rank on paying off the Nau-
tilus. His Lordship's last employment was in com-
mand of the Carysfort, 26, from December, 1841, to
June, 1845, on the Pacific station. Whilst on this
service he took the King of the Sandwich Islands to
task for certain indignities, the result of which was
the cession provisionally of the whole group, but the
islands were restored by order of Rear-Admiral
Thomas. The Carysfort conveyed the unfortunate
Queen Pomare and 50 of her relations and suite,
from Tahiti to Raiatea, one of the lee wardmost of the
Society Islands. Lord George Paulet is in the 48th
year of his age, and married July, 1835, the daughter
of Major-General Sir George Wood, K.C.B.
Spithead yesterday presented a numerous show of
pendants—there were at anchor the Blenheim, 60
screw-ship, Captain Henderson, C. 8.; the Thetis, 38,
Captain Kuper, C. 8.4 the Fox, 42, Commodore Lam-
bert; the Dragon, 6, steam• frigate, Captain Giffard ;
the Albatross, 12, Commander Elliot; and the Her-
cules, store-ship, Master-Commander Fulton. The
wind veered from S.S.E. to S.S.W. yesterday, with
some light rain, and at five P.M. was likely to settle in
the S.W. For the last three weeks N.E. and E.
winds, with dry weather, have prevailed.
Two companies of the Royal Artillery arrived
at Gosport yesterday, via South-Western Railway
from Woolwich, and embarked on board the Echo

tug-steamer, which conveyed th(m to the Apollo,
troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, for passage to
Jamaica. The Apollo proceeds to Cork for other de-
tachments.

Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., arrived at
Malta on the Bth instant, and on the 13,h, in conse-
quence of cholera on board, was ordered to sail
immediately for England, when she was towed out
by the Oberon and proceeded. Whilst at Malta
three men were sent to the hospital on the 12th, and
nineteen more, of whom six have died, were subse-
quently sent on shore. A serious accident happened
on the Pieta at Malta on Tuesday evening, the lOth
instant, owing partly to very hard riding, and partly
to the incomplete state of the road turning towards
Sa Maison, it being covered with large loose stones.
There Charles B. Parke, Esq., First Lieutenant
Royal Marines, of the Bellerophon, was thrown from
his horse and received a very severe contusion in
the head, and became so frightfully convulsed
that his life was considered to have been in
great danger. The sufferer was conveyed on
a sofa to the civil hospital, where we are
glad to hear he is doing favourably, no bones being
broken. Lieut. Parke is the nephew of Colonel Com-
mandant Parke, C.B ,of Woolwich. At the time of

the accident he was riding with Mr. William Culhane,
an assistant-surgeon of the Bellerophon, who imme-
diately bled him, or it is believed he must have ex-
pired on the ground. Mr. Culhane sat up with the
sufferer on the night of the accident, and in the morn-
ing had the inexpressible satisfaction of seeing him
gradually b.come conscious, after a night spent in a
state of total insensibility.
Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, Captain llalsted, is
painting and beaus flying alongside Portsmouth yard.
Ihr new fittings will detain her in port another tint-
night.

Fearless, steam-tender, second Master Commander
Veitch, has left Devonport to relieve the wind-bound
in the Chcps of the Ch3nnel. Since the sailed, how-
ever, the wind has shifted.

Portland, 50, Captain Chad:, fitting at Devonport,
for the Pacific, will be undoclied on the 24th.
RAributien, 22, steam-frigate, Captain `Vanden, is
still at the moorings off the King's-stairs, Portsmouth.
She is now universally admired. She has all her
weights on board except her powder and shells, and
swims just two feet more buoyantly than she did
when loaded with her former heavy engines, when
she drew upwards of nineteen feet water. She now
draws a little more than sixteen feet.

Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, has
been painted, and, now she is rigged and all ataunt,
looks what she actually is—a splendid ship. She has
received on board six months' provisions, and in about
ten days her ship's company will be moved on board
her from the hulk, where she will probably haul over
to the mooring on the Gosport shore—to the mooring
formerly occupied by the St. Vincent, where it is said
she will remain fur the winter months unless her ser-
vices should be required before that time.
Commodore Lambert embarked on board the Fox,
at Spithead, yesterday, and it is expected the ship
will start after the arrival of the post this morning.
Prince Ernest of Leiningen is also on board. Mr.
Gilt, of Portsmouth, has had the honour of fitting
out his Serene Highness.

Lieut. Griffiths was remodelling and improving the
encampment by draining, I,hitevvashing, &c. The
St. Helena Gazelle of the 3d ult. contains a long list
of shipping disasters reported by the master of the
schooner Bailey, which arrived at the island on the
29th of July.
The Albatross arrived at Ascension on the 9th of
August, and sailed on the following day. The Tor-
toise store and guard-ship, Captain Mutton, remained
there. The Heroine, 8, Commander Marsh, sailed
for the south coast the day before the Albatross arrived.
The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander H. A.
Foote, had sailed to join the Commodore on the
south coast. The station is reported generally healthy,
and the slave-trade brisk. The Albatross has brought
home Lieutenant Luckraft, first of the Ranger, and
Dr. Tait, surgeon of the same vessel, invalided, and
five seamen invalids, vi so were all landed at the
Royal Naval Hospital, Hasler, this morning. Lieu-
tenant Brickwell, first of the Albatross, entered the
service in 1828, and has been in constant employ-
ment, having 21 years' full-pay service. This officer
has been for the last four years First Lieutenant of
the Albatross, and was second in command of the ex-
pedition against the Bornean pirates, on which occa-
sion Commander Farquhar, who commissioned the
Albatross, was promoted.
The Hercules store.ship, Master Commander Ful-
ton, arrived this morning at Spithead from the Medi-
terranean. She has made a sorry passage. The snail
from Malta is dated the middle of July.
