NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 25.—The Cornet steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, having returned
into harbour from surveying service, under the orders
of Commander Sherringham, of the Fearless, which
latter vessel had become disabled in her machinery,
sailed on Sunday t'or Brighton, to convey the Com-
mander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., to this
port, to resume his duties. The Comet, however, did
not bring the gallant Admiral, who preferred coming
in his yacht, the Fanny. His flag was rehoisted on
board the Excellent, having been struck upwards of
five weeks. The health of the gallant Admiral is
by no means re-established, but is sufficiently re-
stored to admit of his conducting the port duties.
The Heela, 4, steam sloop, Commander Duffill,
arrived from Devonport on Monday, and came into
this harbour to replenish coals. She will go round to
Woolwich to refit, and then proceed to the Mediter-
ranean.

The Fearless surveying-vessel, Commander Sher-
ringham, having had the damage to her engines re-
paired, left the harbour for the Southampton river, to
resume surveying operations, yesterday morning.
The Queen, 110, Captain Martin, was inspected on
Monday by Rear-Admiral Parker, and having com-
pleted stores and provisions, sailed this morning for
Plymouth. Those of the crew who were turned over
from the Camperdown received wages on Monday, at
which time such of the crew as were newly entered
received two months' advance wages. It is expected
that the St. Viccent, 120, Captain Rowley, now in
the Sound, Plymouth, w ill return to Spithead on the
arrival of the Queen. . _ _

All further attempts to raise the Swiftsure, the
hulk (74), moored in Porchester Lake as a receptacle
for Captain Norton's shells, to be fired from the Ex-
cellent gunnery-ship, under the superintendence and
direction of Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, Knt., but
which heeled over and sank last week, are abandoned,
and we are informed she will be fired at and destroyed
where she has foundered. This will be very dead game,
however, the vessel having sunk up to her upper-deck
ports.

The experimental squadron is not yet ready, nor do
we expect, from appearances this morning, that it will
be yet for several days. The brigs are still incom-
plete in many departments, and the umpire's vessel,
the Firebrand, very backward in equipment indeed.
The Pantaloon is the only brig belonging to the
squadron at this port which has bent sail.
SIIEERNESS, TUESDAY—The Mutine, 12, Com-
mander R. 11. Crawford ; Espiegle, 12, Commander
T. P. Thompson, new experimental brigs ; and
Cruiser, 16, Commander E. G. Fanshawe, were
towed from Chatham by the Monkey and Africane
steam-vessels on Saturday, and anchored at the Little
Nore, where, yesterday, they were inspected by the
Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir J. C. White.
This day at noon they got under weigh for Ports-
mouth, with a fresh breeze blowing from the north-
east. The Mutine had a quarter of an hour's advan-
tage over her competitors in breaking ground. The
Espiegle, however, appeared to be the favourite. The
Port Admiral attended the squadron in his yacht as
far as the Great Nore, to observe the performance of
the respective brigs under canvass.
Sir G. Cockburn, and other members of the Board
of Admiralty, are expected to visit and inspect this
port and arsenal daily.
The name of the successor to the late Captain r.
Fisher, as superintendent of this dockyard, with the
charge of the ordinary, has not been announced up to
post time this evening.
No commissions have arrived for any ships now
ready fur the pendant at this port.

THE JEWISH FESTIVAL OF THE FEAST OF THE
TABERNACLE.—Last evening (Friday), at sunset, the
festival of the Feast of the Tabernacle commenced, whichis celebrated with much pomp and rejoicing by all ruem-
burs of the Jewish persuasion. The festival continues
during the following eight days. On the first and last
two days no business whatever is transaoted. All those
who have the means erect tabernacles in their gardens,
itron. The seventh the tops being willow, and decorated
h green
with fruits and flowers, and branches of the palm. and
oc-
casion the live books ,of y
moissetsh,eogrrtaild
idkay;t,aottein‘evhh,icshpiocen:
decorated, are carried seven nines round the Syna-
gogue, accompanied by the priests and elders, carrying
the sul,ib and citron, each member of the congregation
holding in his hand a bunch of myrtle, which he strikes
on the bench as the procession pa,,ses seven times. con-
sidering that as the leaves of the myrtle fall, so will their
sins. The whole of the congregation remain standing,
chanting the prayers appointed for the occasion. After
the Pentateuch is placed in the ark, the Chief Priest
standing in the centre, receives the offerings of the con-
gregation towards the support of the poor. On the
eighth day the rejoicings of the law takes place, the
bridegroom of the law appointed for the occasion, read-
ing the last seven chapters of the Pentateuch.
SAVINGS' BANICS.—The National Debt Commis-
sioners, in conformity with a resolution of the House of
Commons, are requiring further returns from trustees
of savings' banks, in order, as believed, to reduce the
yearly and the gross amounts to be invested by deposi-
tors. It was expected that the recent Act of Parliament
applying to those institutions would reduce the depo-
sitors' amounts, but it does not ; hence the present eon-
emplatioi.
