NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE YELLOW FEVER AT STAXGATE CREEK.— Dr. Rogers
(of the Ocean) is convalescent, and no new cases have ap-
peared since he was attacked, and it is hoped now that the
disease i 3 at an end. Mr. Heath, the assistant-surgeon of the
Dwarf, as we have before stated, was put on board the
Revenge on Sunday. The services of no other medical
officer has been required, though the assistant-surgeons of
the Raven cutter and the Formidable, 84, were held in readi-
ness to proceed on board if necessary.
COURT MARTIAL ON A LIEUTENANT OF THE SUPERB.—
The Court-martial on Lieutenant Lindsay P. Burrell (1840),
on the charge of having been found asleep on his watch-in
the passage of the Superb, 80, from Portsmouth, was held
yesterday, on board the Caledonia, 120, Captain Manley Hall
Dixon. The charge was preferred by Captain Corry, of the
Superb. Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym was president

THE SURVEYOR'S INvALrn.—Tbe Vanguard, 80, Captain
G. W. Willes, went into Portsmouth harbour under sail on
Wednesday, and Went alongside the Victorious hulk, into
which vessel the officers and ship's company were moved.
On Thursday she was brought into the Angle dock, all stand-
ing and with sails bent, the Harlequin, 16, having been
moved out to make room for her. The same arrangements
have been made to expedite her refit as were made when the
Superb was last docked. As soon as the water had receded
a little from the dock, and the ship was shore up, 124 ship-
wrights were placed round her to strip off her copper, which
was nearly accomplished at five PM. The men will work
extra hours taskwork, and no doubt the Vanguard will be
ready to leave the dock on Saturday next. The copper was
foul, and some considerable quantity of grass was growing
in patches. The copper was very much ruffled, and ap-
peared worn thin in some places. On the starboard side, under
the forechains, the nails for a considerable distance along the
lower edge of the second sheets of copper had been all drawn
out, which we imagine must have been occasioned by the
straining of the ship in this particular part. 'We hear that
the excessive rolling of this ship is most awful: it is said
her channels were continua:ly in the water. The hatchway
gnat d stanchions have nearly all been carried away, from the
seamen holding on them to save themselves when the ship
ens last at sea.

ROYAL MARINES.—Messrs. John Tunstall Haverfield and
John Sangster, whose appointments as cadets we gave a few
weeks since, and who were considered by Lord lladdington
to have strung claims to the preference of the Admiralty,
have been appointed second lieutenants in the Royal Marine
corps, the former to the Plymouth division, and the latter to
the Chatham division. Commissions dated the 14th inst.

Mr. Jonathan Ay]en (1823), master, late of the Hastings,
72, and the Victory, 104, has been appointed to command the '
Alban, steam-transport, vice Lieut. Lowe.
The officers and men ou leave from the Vanguard, 80.
Captain \S flies, when that ship left Devenport for Ports-
mouth, were sent to the latter port yesterday in the Confi-
ance, steam-tug.
TRIAL OF ANCHORS.—The Comet, steam•vessel, Lieut.
Commander Prettyman, ou Wednesday towed over to Ryde
two dock-yard anchor lumps, containing anchors of Mr.
Porter and the Admiralty, to be further tested on Ryde
sands. On Monday and Tuesday last these anchors were
tried on the mud otf the Clarence-yard, when, we under-
stand, Mr. Porter's anchors had some advantage. Captain
Moubray, of the Victory, 104 ; Mr. Brown, Master-Attend-
ant, arid the Master of the Victory, Mr. Flinn, are the offi-
cers ordered to report on the respective merits of these
anchors.
