NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

POITSUOUTH„ JULY 1.--By an officer_ overland from Malta,
who spekt about ien days in Switzerland, we learn that an extra-
ordinary sensation was excited in the Cantons by the fall of Mis-
solonghi, and that large subscriptions are making by all classes
for the-relief of the Greeks The same feeling very generally
prevails in France, and considerable sums have been raised and
remitted for the Greek cause, in that kingdom.—Malta, at the
end of May, was particularly healthy, and business, by a regu-
lation which had just taken place relative to the quarantine, was
much increased ; the ports of the continent thereby considering
the communication with thnt island more secure. Several ships
were building, and a very large accumulation of Egyptian cotton
had been blade. which was destined for this country. The Sy-
bilk frigate, Capt. Pechell, had gene on a diplomatic mission to
the Pacha of Alexandria; the Revenge, 78, (Sir Harry Neale),
had gone from Naples to Athens; Admiral Sir T. Williams was
Oli .board. The Brisk, Hon. Capt. Alison, had been sent on to
Archipelago, an increased force having been deemed necessary
to' keep in check the many armed cruizers of the Greeks, Egyp-
tians, and Turks, the vessels of which nations never lose an op-
portunity of plundering, whenever they think they can do it with
safety. The Cambrian, Rose, and paunett, were among the
!Islands of the Archipelago, protecting 'our trade. The Seringa-
,patam was fitting at Malta, to return to the same duty. The
for England, having landed there Commitedimer Chas. Ress, C.
B. from Port Royal. The alacrity lied also sailed for Naples
and England. The Naiad and Weazlewere cruizing on the Dal-
matian shore. The Medina and Zebra were at Malta, the latter
under quarantine fur forty days, having recently come clown from
.Smyrna with despatches.

The Briton left Callao fur England on the 14th of February,
with General Rodil on board. The Cambridge was there.
On Tuesday the Talbot frigate., Captain Hon. Fred. Spencer,
:arrived from the Leith station, to be fitted for the Mediterranean,
and relieve the Naiad, Capt. lion. Richard Cavendish Spencer.--
The 10, Capt. W. B. Martin, sailed on Thursday for
that station ; and the Blonde frigate, ord Byron, with detach,
vients of the 18th and Slat regiments for Ply Mouth. These
'troops, with detachments of the 23d and 85th regiments, in all
360 men, will be embarked in the Romney for Gibraltar and the
lonian Islotids. The Cainelion, 10, Captain Michael Seymour,
has returned to Plymouth, 'having brought seamen from that port.
A Court Martial Was,held yesterday on board his Majesty's ship
Victory (of which Sir. Michael Seymour, Bart. K.C.B. was Pre-
sident), for the trial of Thomas, Brewer, a private marine, belong-
: ing to the Talbot frigate, fur having struck his serjeaat, while on
duty. It appeared in evidence that Brewer wished to borrow a
!needle of a anan who was,using -it, and because he refused to lend
it at that moment, Brewer made use of foul and abusive expres-
*ions towards him, in which he was checked by the serjeant, who
desired hint to desist; when an officer, who beard the altercation,
ordered him to go, on the quarter-deck. This he did, but re-
turned immediately, struck the eerjeant, and accused him of wish-
ing to get him punished. . The charge being fully proved, the
Court was compelled to pass sentence of death upon, the offender.
Lieutenant Joseph O'Brien is promoted to the rank of-Com-
mander, and appointed to the Beaver ; and Lieutenant A. Baird
to the rank of Commander, and appointed to the Arachne.
The Lords of the Admiralty have,. we understand, made * grant
of 1,000/. to Capt. Hayes, of the Royal Navy, as their first cum-
pensation to hint in consideration of 'the benefits he has rendered
to his country by his scientific improvements in naval skip-build-
ing, as exemplified in the Champion sloop of war and Arrow cut-
ter. The new 28-gun frigate Challenger, and Wolf corvette,
building by the same architect, at this Dock-yard, are expected to
be launched early in August. , •
Permission has been giVen to' officers of the' Royal Marine
• corps, holding Brevet rank, to sell their commissions, in the
• same way as was lately granted to the army. Several of the
senior officers intend to embrace this mode of retiring from the

SowiliAltvrow, Saxuanay,..-An accident. happened to the
George the Fourth steam-packet, on Friday morning, which
might have proved serious, but which happily did little damage.
About two o'clock the mate was awakened by a cracking noise,
as of horning wood, sod, on looking for the cause; found that pert
of the vessel near the boiler was on fire. 'tiieverat turn were for-
tunately at work en.,board the Medina, which lay close by, and
their prompt assistanci soon put the fire out. On examination,
a hole was found in the iron plates which floor the engine room.
in front of the fireplace, through which some of the embers of
the tire, after it bad been raked out, mist have communicated.
Two or three of the timbers of the vessel, and a email piece of her
deck, are injured. The necessary repairs will be accomplished
in a fortnight, or perhaps leis ; for though perfectly safe now to
perfoim her passages, the prOprietors are determined to neglect
no precaution which may have any iofluonce oo the minds of the
public. It is fortunate, in one sense; that the accideni happened
as it did ; at another time it might have been more serious ; now
its recurrence will be rendered impossible. Still the delay is
vexatious, and the more so, that about '7O passengers were to have
gone by her on the morning the accident happened...-. lia,np,hi„
