NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. W.—Rear-Admiral the lion. D.
Bouverie, K.C.8., has been succeeded by Rear-Admiral
tlyde Parker in the Superintendency of Portsmouth
Dock-yard, and retires with the esteem of all classes.
Admiral Sir Edward Codrington's period of service at
this port •does' not expire until. December next. The
London and provincial papers are already speculating on
his successor, giving the names of Sir.Byarn Martin and
the Hon. Sir John Talbot. Both those officers are dis-
tinguished in the profession ; but we have reason to
think that Admiral Sir Charles Rowley will be our next
Port-Admiral,

The ( rocoilile, 26, troopship, Mr. Elson, master, is
hourly expected at Spithead from Quebec; with- the re-
mainder of the 56th Regiment. •She took out the 52d to
the West Indies.

The transport George the Fourth, sailed on Sunday
for the Cape of Good Hope, East Indies, and China,
baying on board an immense quantity of biscuit, &e.,
for the squadron. She will touch at St. Helena, to dis-
embark the regiment for that island, from Parkhurst
Barracks, Isle of Wight.
The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Commander Patey,
will, in a few days, embark the 71st Regiment, and pro-
ceed immediately with them to Quebec. The troops are
daily expected from Chichester.

The Agincourt, 72, Captain Bruce, was spoken with
on the June, one week. from Madeira, bound to the
Citpe.ofilluod Hope and East Indies.
,rho Pique, 36. Captain the Hon. M..Stopford,will
not. of harbour on Thursday, Report sends her to the
Mediterranean, to relieve the Inconstant. It is more
lflo however, that she will go the West Indies.
Let4.rs.have been received here, reporting the safe Ar-
ri val . orthe powerfid steamer Geyser, at Malta. This
has removed the apprehensions felt for her safety on ac-
count of her having caught fire, off Gibralttir, on her
passage out.
There-is at present no ship fitting out.at Plymouth.
The Widf corvette, -Commander Osborne Hayes, was to
sail thence-on Sunday, .for China, to joinNice-Adtnital.
Sir William larker's squadpm,..
,• There is no truth in the rumoured intention to put into
commission immediately, at this port, the 84 gtha-ships
Collingw ood, Vengeance, and Powerfnl ; they are merely
rt. he held in readiness for service.
