NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Sir P. T. Baring, Bart., has so improved in health
that he will receive officers, as usual, this day.
Mr. Elliott, the late master of the Childers, who
was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for deser-
tion, has been released from the Queen's Benei pri-
son, the term of his sentence having expired.
The Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, arrived at
Devenport, at 2.30 P.m., on Sunday, and will be paid
advance and be ready to leave by the end of the week
with the Conflict, screw-sloop, Commander Drake, for
Lisbon direct. _ _

Devonport on Saturday, with stores, from Pem-
broke.

The Sharpshooter screw-steamer, Lice. Com-
mander Bailey, has been taken into the steam basin
at Portsmouth, to have her defective/ boilers put to
rights.

—The Sprightly, Portsmouth steam-tender, Master
Commander Allen, has gone into the old basin to be
docked, having something the matter with her water-

THE PACIFIC.—The Asia, 84, Captain Stopford,
with the flag of Rear-Admiral Hornby, was at
Callao. The Admiral was about to proceed to Nica-
ragua in company with other ships of the squadron ;
and there to put himself in communication with the
British Charge d'Affaires. The flag lieutenant had
been unwell, but on the liith January had recovered.
The Amphitrite, 25, Captain Eden, was going the
rounds for freight. She was to be the first vessel fir
England, and would probably sail from Valparaiso
about the end of April.
The Champion, 14, Commander Hayes, had arrived
at Panama with one million and a half of dollars on
board, which she landed there, and proceeded to Val-
paraiso.
The Cockatrice tender, Master Commander Rundle,
was going the rounds of the station.
The Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson,
was at Callao, Jan. 13.

The Driver had received provisions and stores for
the Herald, which she was to take to the Sandwich
Islands, to which islands the Asia was also to have
gone, but the business of Tigre Island had altered
these arrangements. The Driver was to go to Van-
couver's Island with the new Governor, Mr. Blan-
chard, who had arrived from England by the last
mail packet. This trip would probably occupy the
Driver about seven weeks, and she would probably
return by the port of San Francisco.
The Gorgon steam-sloop, Commander Poynter,
had returned to Callao from Tigre Island, and taken
off the guns and men that she had left there in pos-
session. The men had all suffered more or less from
fever, but were nearly all recovered. In consequence
of the Tigre Island affair there was a stop put to the
Asia's visit to the Sandwich Islands.

with mails for Madeira and the coast of Africa, and
luggage for Admiral Austen, East Indies, sailed yes-
terday.

Friday, and she sailed f Falmouth on Saturday.
The guns and stores having been shipped on board
the frigate Arethusa, she will be placed at her sailing
moorings on Monday, taken down harbour on Friday,
and will probably sail on the 18th inst. to join the
squadron at Lisbon.
The brig Philomel was towed out of harbour yes-
terday by the Fearless steam-vessel.
The brig Britomart was undocked mni masted yes-
terday.
The Nautilus tender was undocked on Tuesday.
The mackerel fishery, which has been hitherto un-
successful, assumed a more cheering aspect this
morning. Some boa's returned with fair average
catches, and induced those in harbour speedily to
hoist their canvass, and hasten to the fishing-ground.
A considerable quantity of mackerel has been for-
warded per South Devon liailway.
