NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDA li.—`llo St. Vincent, 120,
Captain Rowley, left the basin and took up her old
moorings off Coldharbour, Gosport, yesterday ; she is
completing fittings now very rapidly.
The Rattler, screw-propelled steam sloop, Commander
Smith, arrived from the river on Monday, with Com-
mander Crispin, of the royal yacht, and the inventor of
the screw-propeller, on board. It is reported this vessel
will try her rate of speed; with the royal and ti.e Att•
miralty yachts. She is a very bold and sightly
and, with the exception of the funnel, has no resemblance
to a steam-vessel. Her rig is that of a schooner with
three masts, and she looks somewhat like a corvette.
Her speed in coming into harbour was very great. She
mounts only five guns,—four 32's (carronades), and one
long 68 pounder on a pivot forward ; and, from her ap-
pearance, we should judge she would, without any strain
or inconvenience, carry double the number. She at-
tracted considerable attention from nautical men or,
coming from Spithcad into harbour.
