NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE ANNIVERSARY OF TRAFALGAR.
We briefly noticed in oar yesterday's impression
the various professional celebrations of the anniversary
of the battle
.of Trafalgar. To-day we are enabled
to (rive the names of the members of the Royal Naval
Club of 1765, who assembled at the Thatched-house
Tavern.
The chair was taken by Captain W. J. T. Hood;
who served in the battle of Trafelgar as a midship-
man in the Achille ; and the guest of the Club on this
occasion was Dr. Hartley Kennedy, late physician-
general to the Indian army of the Bombay Presi-
dency.
The Gallant Chairman was weal supported, as the
annexed list of the officers present wilt show :—Vice-
Admirals Sir Charles Malcolm and :Sir Samuel Pym,
K.C.8.; Rear-Admirals Sir E. C. Strode, K.C.8.,
and Sir W. H. Dillon, K.C.H. ; Captains Appleby,
Currie, Chappell, Dickinson, Drew, Edgell, Hay,
G. St. V. King (son of the late Sir R. King, who
commanded the Achille in the battle), Sir B. Mac-
namara, Pridham' Quin, Stanley, Wallis, and
Young. Commanders—Band, Branford, Blair, Cogh-
lan, Cammilleri, Carr, Clarke (Thos. P.), Dalyell,
Douglas (R.), Gordon (James b), Gayton, Geary,
Huggins, Hudson, Herbert, Ja,y, Miller, Michell,
Mellwaioe, Paulson, Bayley, Rich Sykes (Thomas),
Savage, Smith (Thomas), Sporg, and Wood. Sec-
retary, Mr. Allen. We have printed the names of
the Trafalgar officers in italics. It is gratifying to
know that this club (which dispenses in the most un-
ostentatious way an immense amount of good in the
form of donations to widows and orphans of deceased
members) is in a most flourishing:condition, and con-
stantly on the increase in numbe,:s and popularity.

OPENING THE NEW GATES AT GREENWICH.
HOSPITAL -Monday being the anniversary of the
battle of Trafalgar, the new west gates of Greenwich
Hospital were opened V Admiral Sir James Gordon,
K.C.8., Lieutenant •G:avernor, and Lieutenant Rivera.
These gates, with the lodges and celestial and ter-
restrial globe-capped pillars, have been removed in
the course of the improvements to their present position.
Much as the public admires the improvements of
the grounds about the hospital, it is to be regretted
that they were accomplished without giving any com-
pensation to the many officers who were tereby de-
prived of an important portion of their conveniences.
When we hear of cases like those which lately occa-
sioned the benevolent to subscribe for the relief of
the distress of the families of old officers of Green-
wich Hospital, we are satisfied that those veteran
officers can ill afford to be deprived of any part of
their scanty privileges.
CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Al-
though we have had later dates from Captain Austin's
expedition, so few letters have been received from the
ships, that the following from an officer is perhaps
worth readine•
Her Majesty's ship Assistance, hit. 73 30,
near Cape Shackleton, July 1, 1850.
" Here we are, made fast to a berg. We entered
the ice this morning, and our tenders have towed us
so far ; we have made fast for a few hours. The sea
appears well clear from the tops of the hills. We shall
proceed almost immediately. We left the Whale
Islands on the 23d, called at Upernwick on the 25th,
and the same night we made the pack. In the morning
stood in where we saw several vessels at anchor;
found Penny's expedition amongst them. We made
fast to a berg until this morning, having been told
that the ice was not open ; this morning we made a
bolt for it, and passed Penny's vessels at noon. They
are nice-looking craft, were under sail and towing.
" We are all well and iss great spirits, as you may
suppose, at being ahead of all the whalers, &c. The
opportunity of sending this has occurred very unci-
pectedly ; we had given up all idea of another chance,
but to our joy we fell in with a whaler's boats re-
turning to their vessel, by which I send this ; she be-
longs to the Chieftain."
