NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TAB BELLEROPHOL—The greatest anxiety is felt
with respect to the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes,
C.B. She left Malta for England on the Bth Sept.,
and the last dates from Gibraltar, Oct. 6, do not give
her arrival there. It is not unlikely that she went
out to look for the admiral before finally leaving the
station, and she may have passed Gibraltar and Lisbon
without touching .at either of those ports.
Captain-Superintendent Sir John Hill has returned
to Deptford Dock and Victualling Yards from leave
of absence. Mr. Mouchet, storekeeper of Deptford
Dockyard, has also returned from leave of absence,
and has resumed his responsible duties.
Dauntless steam screw-frigate, Captain E. P. Hal-
stead, was inspected at Spithead on Monday, paid
advance on Tuesday, and got under weigh yesterday
at ten o'clock, for Queenstown, with steam, as the
breeze was too light for sails. When Sir Bladen
Capel, the commander-in-chief, inspected this
ship on Monday, he called Lieutenant Rooke up, and,
after shaking hands and congratulating him on his
being the sole surviving officer of the unfortunate
Avenger, he presented him with a walking-stick
which belonged to the brother of that gallant Admiral,
Sir George Rooke, to whom England is indebted for
Gibraltar, the key of the Mediterranean, besides many
other not less considerable services. The stick is a
Malacca cane, with a born handle, having a whistle
in it, encircled by a silver ring, with this inscription
on it—" Edward Rooke. 1681." Lieut. Rooke is
now the only one of the four survivors who remains
unrewarded, though he never ceased his exertions
until he had provided for the three others in the fol-
lowing manner—viz., Mr. Larcom (gunner) promoted
to the highest grade his rank admits; William Will
(steward), a messengership at Somerset House ; Mor-
ley, the boy, entered into the dockyard. Lieut.
Rooke is a descendant of John, third Earl of Lennox,
from whom the Sovereign who now occupies
.the
Throne is herself descended.
