NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSSIOUTH, MAY 20.—0 n Monday the Lively, 46, Capt.
Elliot, C. B. arrived from Lisbon (sailed thence with -the Glas-
gow,) and yesterday she sailed for Plymouth. On Wednesday
the Glasgow, 50, Captain Hon. J. A. Mande, came into harbour,
to be docked. On Friday the Contest, 10, Lieut. Charles
English, sailed for Ilelitisx. The Eepiegle, 19, Captain Yates,
for the West Indies, remains at Spithead.
Yesterday the Fiusbury transport, Lieut. R. Mayne, sailed for
Dublin, to land Major Butt's Company of Royal Artillery, and
takes thence the company now stationed there to Halifax. Cap-
tain* Pratt and Wilcox, with 53 men of the 81st Regisneut, em-
barked here, for the same destination.
The vessel called the Turnstile, rigged and worked on the new
plan, by Lieut. Shuldhans, of the Navy, arrived here on Monday
evening. She encountered some very Leavy weather in the
Channel, in her passage from Salcombe, in which she was ob-
liged to beat up the whole way against an easterly breeze. She
is only six feet beam, and the men who navigated her declare,
that had she not been a remarkably fine boat, she must have gone
to the b Atom. ller appearance is handsome,' and her sails set
and stood well, and are reduced and increased by reef boards (not
reef bands) at the bottom; and as her masts are solely supported
by wrought iron pivots, with single cross trees, which is the in-
ventor's weakest mode of constructing them • and when it is con-
sidered that they are snore than half the height of the masts of
vessels of 70 tons, it is presumed, that when the stronger method
of supporting them is resorted to, viz. that of the cross-trees
working between circular sweeps—that the plan is applicable to
coasting vessels of the largest description, which may be sailed
with fewer hands—the ,turation of their voyage would be cur-
tailed, and a great saving of wear and tear of rigging. Lieut. S.
is about to fit out a coasting vessel on the same construction, and
rigged on the same principle. —llampshire Telegraph.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 18.7-Sailed the 13rak, Capt. Knots*, which
arrived here' in fiftp.two days from Curacoa, for Helvoetaluys:
and the steam-vessel Emulous, Capt. Treager, for Calcutta. The
Blonde is ordered to the Portsmouth station with the Glasgow,
and the Dryad and Lively to this station, as disposable. The Phi-
lomel has taken a snail to Lisbon. The Nereus, 46, and Me-
iamnus, 48, 'are taken into dock. All the ships in ordinary are to
be fitted with Sir Humphrey Davy's protectors. Lieutenants
J. R. Booth and W. S. Blount are appointed to the Trinculo at

Favill, from the westward ; and sailed his Majesty's cutter Star-
ling, Lieutenant Stewart, to the eastward, having on board Pox,
lately a seaman belonging to the Blonde, who by the sentence of
a court•martial was to suffer death ; but in consideration of cir-
cumstances favourable to the prisoner, it was commuted to two
years' imprisonment in the Marshalsea.

Kitchen, to the westward.
Ships in harbour—Britannia, Windsor Castle, Aaron, Forte,

Yesterday were interred, with appropriate military honours, at
Stonehouee chapel, the remains of the late Lieut.-Col. Wsstripp,
of the Plymouth Division of. Royal Marines. This mournful ce-
remony was attended by most of the military officers of this gar-
rison, civilians, and a few naval officers, and we regret that we
did not perceive a single officer of the Navy boring a rank cor-
responding to that of the late gallant Lieut.-Colonel, whose
merits as an officer claimed respect, and whose virtue* as a mem-
ber of society were not unworthy of imitation.
