NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 3.—The Eden, 26 guns, left
Fernando Po on the Bth July, on a cruse, to re
cover the health of the remainder of the crew.
Colonel Nichols accompanied (`apt. Owen ; both of
these officers having bean indisposed. The Eden,
we regret to state, had lost eighty men.
Mr. Allen, a Second Master of the Sybille, has
lost both his legs, by the accidental discharge of
some musketry nhich was lying on the deck of the
tender in which he was serving, and which was got
ready in consequence of the tender being in chase of
a strange vessel. One seaman was also killed, and
two others wounded slightly, from the same accident.
Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Rose,
dated Halifax harbour, Sept. 8 :—" We are just
arrived from the Bay of Fundy, where we have been
cruising some time. We had orders to proceed on
to Bermuda, but they are countermanded, and we
shall return to the Bay in a day or t wo. It is ex-
pected that we shall take the Governor, Sir Pere-
grille Maitland, who is in bad health, to. Barbedf*s,
and in that case we shall winter at Newfoundland.
The Admiral, Sir Charles Ogle, is gone to Quebec,
and is expected to return the middle of next month.
The Champion, Captain Scott, left this for Quebec
yesterday."
The Menai, 28, Captain Bourchair, was towed
into harbour on Monday, by the Carron steam-vessel,
to be paid off. On the same day, theßramble cutter
returned to Plymouth.
The Basilisk cutter arrived from the Eastward,
on Tuesday, and sailed the following day to Ply-
mouth. Yesterday arrived the Sparrow cutter, from
a cruise; and the Arrow to-day sailed on a cruise.
• IThe Neva transport, 'Coombes, arrived on Wed,
nesday. She sailed from Quebec on the 25th of
August, and Halifax on the 12th September. Ori
the 16th ult. she spoke, in lat. 45 W. long. 57 N.
the Six Sisters, of Preston, for Richebucto, out
thirty-six days, which had lost her maintop-mast in
a gale on the 25th of August. The Neva sailed this
day for Deptford.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Bissett,
came into harbour this afternoon.

The Corinthian, Chadwick, arrived on-Monday,
and sailed on Thursday, for New York.
Sailed, on Monday, the Boyne, Warren, for
Bombay.

An order has been received this week, to send
out two recruiting parties, each with a Captain,
from the Division of Royal Marines.
It is is understood that the Right Hon. J. W.
Croker gives a farewell dinner on the 11th instant,
on retiring from the office of Secretary to the Board
of Admiralty.

Lord Yarborough's Falcon and Lord Vernon's
Harlequin yachts, had a trial of sailing, a few days
since, at the back of the Wight; the former is a
ship which has scarcely ever been beaten; the latter
is a brig, built at Fishouse, on a pla►► suggested by
Captain W. Symonds, and was eminently the
winner in the present contest; she weathered on
the Falcon at the least three miles, or three miles
and a half, in a four hours' beat to windward.

The free trader Lord Amherst will call at Spit-
bead in a few days, to take in her passengers for
Calcutta; the ship Lady Holland, for the same des-
tination, will follow in a few days after.
The Catherine Stewart Forbes, Captain Cantle'',
arrived here on Wednesday last, to take on board
200 convicts from the hulks at this port, for Sydney.
They are under the care and superintendence of Dr.
M'Ternan. A detachment of the 63d Regiment,
under Major Fairtlough, is embarked in her. The
convicts were transferred from the hulks to this
ship yesterday.
Among other striking instances of that great
urbanity and kindness of consideration displayed by
the late Commander-in-Chief on the coast of South
America, Sir Robert Otway, towards his officers, it
should be mentioned that during the period of his
command, three years, he never permitted an offic©r
of his ship to be disturbed (as is the usage), to
attend the quarter-deck on his leaving the ship, or
on his coming on board; yet on all occasions, when
Captains and Commanders of the Squadron, Con-
suls, &c. quitted the Flag-ship, the forms luid down
in the instructions were rigidly observed towards
them.

The last portion of the Victualling Establish-
ment, being the slaughtering department, was wholly
removed from this town to Weovil on Wednesday
last, the new erections at which place are of the
most commodious and substantial description. The
erection of other store-houses being yet in contem-
plation, it is naturally inquired from what funds are
these improvements defrayed, not a shilling having
beet► as yet appropriated to them, by any specific
Parliamentary grant.
