NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE YELLOW FEVER AT STANGATE 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 is 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 Vortsmoutb, 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 INVALID.—The 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 P.M. The men will work
extra hours taskwork, and uo doubt the Vanguard will be
eady 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 continually in the water. The hatchway
guard stanchions have nearly all been carried away, from the
seamen holding on them to save themselves when the ship
was last at sea.

ROYAL MARLNES.—Messrs. John Tunstall Haverfield and
John Sangster, whose appointments as cadets we gave a few
weeks since, and who were considered by Lord Haddington
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 Aylen (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 on leave from the Vanguard, 80,
Captain W illes, when that ship left Devenport for Ports-
mouth, were sent to the latter port yesterday in the Confi-
ance, steam-tug.

TitIAL or XNCHORS.—The Comet, steam. vessel, Lieut.
Commander Prettyman, on 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 off 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, and the Master of the Victory, Mr. Flinn, are the offi-
cers ordered to report on the respective merits of these
anchors.

DEATH OF A RELAPSED TEETOTALLER.—Yester-
day Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Cumberland Head,
City-road, on the body of William Sawyer, aged 45 years,
who was found lying in the street on the morning of Mon-
day last. Police-constable G 226, deposed that about half-
past five o'clock on Monday morning, he saw deceased lying
on the pavement in Cowper-street, St. Luke's, in a state of
intoxication, but sensible. He inquired of him where he
lived, and was told by deceased at 49 in that street. Wit-
ness knocked at the door, and was told by a person from the
first-floor window that the man
,bad lodged there, but had
left some time. Witness conveyed him to the station-house,
where he remained until the evening, when he was taken to
St. Luke's workhouse. John Smith Bacon, master of the
workhouse, stated that when deceased was admitted he was
in a horribly filthy state—his clothes, which were only rags,
had completely E aten into his flesh from blood and dirt. He
was cleansed and placed in a warm bed, but died in the
course of the night. On examining his rags subsequently,
and which were obliged to be cut to pieces for the purpose,
two sovereigns and a half in gold, 16s. in silver and copper,
with a silver watch and guard, were found embedded in the
filth in which the clothes were enveloped. Mr. Courtney,
surgeon, said he had made a post mortem examination--
found excessive disease of the liver, arising from excessive
and habitual drinking—the coats of the stomach were in-
flamed. Witness attributed death to these causes. Ver-
dict—" Natural Death, accelerated by excessive drinking."
Deceased was most respectably connected, and had resided at
Red- hill, near Reigate. He had been some time a teetotaller,
but had relapsed mto his former vicious and intemperate

courses.
THE WEATHER AND Cnors.—Thedamage caused

which

its h-aasncnhiel
overflows. Mr. Miller, of Donors, and several others whose
holm' lie along its banks, had portions of their crops borne
away. The Irvine, too, overflowed below Oalston, and
floated wheat and oats together, but none was lost. From
certain indices, the Irvine, two years ago, was about
two feet higher than at this last spate ; but the
oldest inhabitant does not recollect the flood remain-
ing so long at the same height, nor the mills so
long impeded by back-water. The outstanding crop
was so thoroughly drenched that the sheaves had to be
opened, at great additional labour, and spread out to the dry-
ing influence of sun and wind. The continuance of favour-
able weather up to Friday permitted great addition to the
barn-yards. Friday afternoon and the whole of Saturday
were showery. Sabbath was dry, but rain fell heavily during
the night, and in the morning the rivers were large, so that
the grain is again so wet that the carrying process will be
impeded for some time. There is still a good portion standing
out in the east and north-east parts of the parish. The ex-
tent to which the potato crop is now ascertained to be dis-
eased is really alarming. Scarcely a field of this root is
sound. One farmer in this parish has six acres wholly use-
less. Pigs fed with them have died ; and some cases of
cholera are supposed to have originated from partaking of
them. So general is the panic, that few people will make
a meal of this hither:o prized article of food.—Ayr Observer
TIrE EUTERPEON SOCIETY.—The members of this
choral Society gave a grand concert last evening at the City
Lecture Theatre, Milton-street, Fore-street, in two parts;
the first, consisting of selections from Haydn's oratorio, The
Creation; and the second a miscellaneous selection from some
of the best authors. The Misses Turner, Miss Chambers, M-.
Field, Master Field, and Mr. F. Smith were the professionals
engaged, and acquitted themselves in a praiseworthy manner.
Mr. W. Blagrove was the leader, and Mr. Holdernesse the
conductor. The numerous and respectable audience fre-
quently testified their approval of the exertions of the So-
ciety, and separated seemingly gratified with the evening's
entertainment.

ANALYSIS OF COAL.—It is stated 6'4 MT. F.
Wrightson, of Birmingham, has been directed by the Lords
of the Admiralty to make an analysis of the different kinds
of coal in Great Britain. The object is one of great import-
ance, not only in reference to our steam navy (on account of
which the analysis is instituted), in order to show the relative
value of different seams of coal, but also on account of our
various manufactures, some of which require coals of a very
different kinds from those suitable for others. An inquiry of
the same kind has been completed in America.— Wolver-
