NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Tay, one of the West
India mail steamers, has been in dock here to undergo some
trifling repairs to her hull. She went out cf dock again yes-
terday, and will proceed in the course of the day to South-
ampton. She was placed in the dock which has recently been
vacated by the Winchester frigate, and which is just sufficiently
capacious to contain her. It is seldom that a met chant vessel
is docked here, and only under very peculiar circumstances.
Had it not been for the accommodation afforded by the Lords
of the Admiralty in this instance, it would have been necessary
to have taken her round to the river to have had her over.
hauled, and her damages repaired before she could again pro-
ceed to the West Indies. From her having been docked here, she
has saved all the time that would have been lost in her voyage to
and from the Thames, and will be back again at. Southampton,
and ready for sea nearly as soon as she could have reached the
river.

The Speedy cutter, Lieutenant-Commander G. Beaufoy,
arrived on Monday, from Chatham and Sheerness, with super-
numerary seamen and volunteers. It is expected that she will
leave in the course•of the day, and take with her a number of
volunteers for the Cleopatra and Talbot, which have recently
been paid off and recommissioned. 1
.The Resistance troop-ship, Commander G. E. Patey, wil
proceeed to sea in a day or two. There is now very little
doubt that it is the St. Helena Regiment that will embark in
her. This Regiment, which is now complete, and lying at
Parkhurst barracks, Isle of Wight, was inspected on '1 eesday
by the Commander-in Chief of the District, Alajor-General
Sir Hercules Pakenham, and is quite ready for embarkation.
The General expre,sed much gratification at witnessing the
efficient state of the Regiment, which, from its being a newly.
raced one, was highly credible to the officers and men.
The Volcano steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander C. J.
Featherstone, has been refitting and painting here.
There have been no arrivals of the homeward-bound weasels
which have been so long expected, the wind having veered
vund to the eastward.

The only arrival here is that of the Hindostan outward-bound
E tat Indiaman, which came from the eastward on Tuesday
in suing.

An accident occurred on Thursday at Ivry, in a
quarry called the Deux-Moulins, which caused the death of
tour me►, and inflicted serious injury on four others. The wall
of the sLaft through which the stones are brought to the surface
gave way, and caused a rapid motion of counter-rotation to the
wheel, which broke in pieces. The men engaged in working it
were thrown thirty paces off, and wounded, whilst the load
falling on those below killed them instantaneously.
