NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Desperate, steam•sloop, proceeded down the river
from Woolwich, on Saturday morning, to try her
machinery. When ready she will be laid up with
the reserve at Sheerness.

Helena, 16, Commander de Courcy, says the Ber-
muda Royal Gazette of the 30th of April, arrived on
Sunday last from the Havannah. In coming through
the buoys at the east-end passage, being at the time
in charge of an experienced pilot, she was swept by
the influence of the current, while in stays, o❑ the
shoal near where Sir George Somers lost his ship, the
Sea Adventurer. Boats from St. George's were soon
in attendance, as well as her Majesty's steamer Kite,
from the naval yard, and also boats with men from
the flag-ship. After she was relieved of her guns and
shot (11 guns being placed in Captain Charles Hay-
ward's boat, and five in one of the Government boats),
she was, by the assistance of the Kite, towed off, and
safely moored in Murray's anchorage the same even-
ing. She proceeded to Ireland Island yesterday.
Promethus, steam-sloop, Commander Foote, will be
put out of Woolwich Basin on Tuesday, and leave for
Greenhithe at daylight on Wednesday morning. She
is to call at Sheerness and Portsmouth for any men
waiting a passage to the ships on the Lisbon station,
as she is to call at Lisbon on her way to the coast of
Africa.
About half-past two P.m., on Sunday afternoon a
marine named Crawford fell overboard by accident,
and would have been drowned bad it not been for the
praiseworthy conduct of Mr. Henry Neale Scaife, the
clerk of her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert,
who, hearing a boat called away to pick up the man,
immediately rushed on deck and jumped overboard
just in time to save him from a watery grave. This
is the third person Mr. Scaife has saved from death
by his gallantry.—Portsmouth Times and Naval
Gazette.

PLYMOUTH, MAT 25.—ROYAL MARINES.—A BUT-
veyxas held on Lieutenant Pyne, at the Royal Naval
Hospital, by order of the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, on the 18th inst., with reference to the
state of his mind. The decision of their Lordships on
the result of the survey has not yet been made known.
PoßTsMouTss, SUNDAY.—Commander Purdo, late

The Termagant steam-frigate is to be ready on
Tuesday to go to the entrance of the Channel for five
days, to try her powers. She will, it is reported, be
commanded by Mr. Brown, the master-attendant of
this dockyard, and have a crew of engineers, stokers,
and seamen, of 100, from the Blenheim and the dock-
yard. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord
Anielius Beauclerk, is ordered to accompany her, and
his Lordship will report upon her qualities. On the
last trial of the Dauntless we remarked that the trial
of the Rev. E. Berthon's log was not
owing to some alleged accident. Thiswas
satisfactory,
incorrect.
We have on former occasions seen the log at work,
and were much pleased with the aocuracy with which
it denoted the speed of the vessel. It is a very inge-
nious and scientific invention, peculiarly sensitive, and
yet capable of universal application, and we have no
doubt will come into general use.
At eight o'clock yesterday the ships in harbour
dressed in colours, and at twelve fired royal salutes,

traffic.

EXPERIMENTS WITH ROCKETS.
SHOEBURYNESS, MAY 25.—Major-General Lacy,
Director. General of Artillery, Colonel Dundas, C. 8.,
Colonel Wylde, C. 8., Lieutenant• Colonel Chalmer,
Major Bridges, Major Dupuis, Captain Brandling,
with Major Cavalli, artillery officer in the service of
the King of Sardinia, went down the river to-day to
Shoeburyness to witness experiments with rockets on
the sands, upwards of two miles and a quarter being
measured off, and posts put up for a practice-range
at low •water. The experiments commenced at four
o'clock P.M.

The firing of the rockets commenced from a square
tube attached to the wooden breastwork of a platform
erected for a three-gun battery, the tube being capable
of being raised or depressed to the required elevations
by a quarter-circle of iron, similar to the plan adopted
in sextants. The tube had a peculiarity attached to
it we have never witnessed in any former trials.
It consists of an iron rod with a sliding balance
weight, which can be so adjusted as to give any de-
gree of resisting pressure to prevent the rocket leav-
ing its position at the moment of ignition, and until it
acquires a considerable additional force at starting.
The first rocket was fired at an elevation of 10 de-
grees, with a resisting pressure of 151 b., and went
considerable distance. The second and third had the
resisting pressure increased to 921 b., and both dipped
and struck the ground at a short distance, which
altered their course considerably, especially the third.
The resisting pressure was then reduced to 51b., and
the fourth rocket made a splendid flight, proceeding
1,500 yards before it touched the ground, and then
ricocheting a considerable distance further, until its
movements were lost in the distance. The first four
rockets were tilled at the Royal Arsenal on the usual
plan, the composition being driven home with an
implement termed a monkey.
The fifth rocket was the first of Mr. Hales's, and
was very good, the direction was also good, and it
went a distance of upwards of 2,000 yards before it
struck the ground, after which it ricocheted to a con-
siderable distance. The sixth, or second of Mr.
Hales's, had the resisting pressure increased to 251 b.,
and yet it went about 1,200 yards before touching
the ground. The seventh, or third of Mr. Hales's,
fell short. The eighth, or fourth, of Mr. Hales's, was
very good, the two latter being fired from a circular
tube placed on rests on the beach. The ninth, a
rocket filled at the Royal Arsenal, was fired at an
elevation of 2} degrees, with a resisting pressure of
151 b., and it dipped and burst at thirty yards dis-
tance, proceeding in a sig .zag direction to the left.
The tenth, or fifth of Mr. Hales's, dipped and buried
itself in the sand, and, after the usual period of burn-
ing, its composition exploded the live shell with which
it was charged. The eleventh was good. The twelfth,
or sixth of Mr. Hales's, was fired at an elevation of
5 degrees, with a resisting pressure of 51b., and was
very good. The fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth,
seventeenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, and
twenty-second were all very good at the 5 degrees
elevation and 51b. pressure, but the 23d burst short.
The 24th had the resisting pressure increased to 241 b.,
and went about 1,500 yards. Several of the latter
rockets were fired from a trough forming a half
circle, and the practice from it was generally good.
The next firing was of a description seldom or never
witnessed in this country, and consisted of a compound
rocket formed of seven rockets, each ten pounds
weight, enclosed in an iron case, open at both ends.
The compound rocket was placed in a triangular-
shaped wooden trough, open above, and placed at an
elevation of 25 degrees, and, seven matches being
placed, they were all ignited at once, and presented a
most magnificent spectacle as they ascended
into the air, until the object, although so
large, was lost to the sight ; and it went
onwards to so great a distance, that its falling
could not be distinguished by the naked eye. These
seven rockets were filled at the Royal Arsenal. Seven
rockets bound up in the same manner, which had
been filled by Mr. Hales's hydraulic pressure, were
then placed in the trough, and ignited, and their
ascent was beautiful, proceeding to an apparent gre4er
elevation than the former, until they were lost sight
of in the air. When the experiments were concluded
a number of boys went over the sands in the direc-
tion to which they were sent, and found one of them
at a distance of between three and four miles from the
spot where they were discharged. The 27th was a
single rocket, fired at an elevation of fifteen degrees,
with a resisting pressure of 121 b., and it burst short ;
all the others up to the 34th, the number of firings
that took place, thirty-two being single rockets, and
two of seven each, were remarkably good, many of
the latter fired reached a distance of nearly two miles
before they touched the ground, and afterwards
ricocheted to a considerable distance.

The composition used by Mr. Hales is stronger
than that used in the common service rocket, and, by
the aid of hydraulic pressure, he is able to place 41b.
weight of it in the same space as 3ilb. can be put by
the " monkey" used in the Roy al Arsenal, which
gives his rockets a greater power, and he has brought
them to a considerable degree of perfection in insur-
ing their taking a correct direction.

THUNDER-STORM.
Saturday information was received in town, that
during Thursday last one of the most awful storms
of thunder and lightning passed over many provin-
cial towns that has been known for a long series of
years, which was attended with loss of lives, and an
incalculable destruction of property. The following

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A NAVAL LIEUTE-

Royal Navy, was charged by Lavinia Young with having
assaulted her at Mr. Hogg's, at Landport, Portsmouth, on
the evening of the 14th inst. By the evidence of the com-
plainant, corroborated by a witness, and in fact in some
measure a.lmitteil by the defendant in his defence, the de-
fendant placed her on the floor in a public room, in the
