NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH. APRIL 4.—The Talbot, 28, Captair
Robert F. Stopford arrived last evening from the Medi-
terranean, having left Constantinople on the 13th Feb.,
touching at Athens and Suda on her passage to Malta.
and left that place on the 2nd March, six days after the
Wasp, which vessel she met off Cape de Gatt, and left.
at Gibraltar on the 21st March, having passed that plac.
without communicating. Strange to say, although tin
Wasp was considered in the Mediterranean to be a very
fast sailing vessel, and had, a few weeks before leavini.
for England a trial with the Aigle and Snake, both o'
which vessels she completely beat, yet the old donkey
fri7ate Talbot, of 500 tons and 28 guns, so thoroughly
beat the Wasp, not only in overtaking her on the pas-
sage, but in a two day's working breeze off Malaga
the Wasp was at least twelve miles dead to leeward, an '.
had it not been for an easterly wind springing up, it i,
doubtful if the Wasp would have been in sight on 6(
Talbot's passing Gibraltar. Nearly four years ago, the
Talbot had a trial with the Dido, when she so completely
beat the Dido, a vessel of notoriety for sailing, as to be
acknowledged by her Captain. Mr. Beer, the carpenter
of the Talbot, died the day before the ship passed
Gibraltar. The Talbot is ordered to Sheerness to be
paid off:

dollars, the greater portion whereof is expected to be
brought to this country by the Crane packet, Lieutenant
Hill, which was to sail for England from Vera Cruz on
or about.the 9th of February, so that she may be hourly
looked for. The Lyra left at Havanuah the royal mail
