COPENHAGEN, JAN.IS.--According--- to the,Swedish
papers, the departure of the King was fixed t2l. the
18th of this month. His Majesty intended to open the
Storthing, at Christiana, on Tuesday, Feb. 1.
STOCKHOLM, JAN. 14.—Some of his Majesty's horses
were sent already, on the 10th, on the road to Christiania.
It seems that it is not yet decided how the several de-
partments of the Government will be divided among the
Members who remain here.
HADIBURGH, JAN. 21.—We are now so well ac-
customed to see our own city, and the Hanseatic cities in
general, used as a mark for the attacks of the daily press
in the States of the Customs Union, which have of late
become remarkably loquacious, that we do not much
wonder when a new adversary now and then starts up.
The lj°st is that the gentlemen all agree, at least on one
point, namely, in their ignorance of the subjet on which
they write.
HANOVER, JAN. 20.—1 t is generally reported here
that the King of Russia, at his interview with our King
at (Jthfresen, promised that on his return from London,

or February, it is said).

NAITAL INTELLIGENCE. ,
PORTSMOUTIf, JAN. 28.—The Vindictive will go into
harbour at high ;rater to-day, and will be taken into
dock to be examined, fit order. to ascertain to what ex-
tent she has been injured t 7,7 ber late disaster. It was
intended that she should proceM tO China with the flag
of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane bat whether such
intention will now be carried out will Aep end entirely

and how long it will take to repair the damage She has
sustained.
The Warspite returned to Spithead on Tuesday even.
ing Inst. Her powers of sailing are found to surpass
even the most sanguine expectations of those who knew
her of old, when as a 74 on the South American station,
with the flag of Admiral Sir T. Baker, she was noted as
a fast sailer, and made one of the quickest passages from
Rio to this country on record. On Monday night, at
eleven o'clock, she was in company with the Vindictive;
off the South Foreland, and on the Tuesday morning she
anchored at Spithead, while the Vindictive did not reach
the offing until Tuesday afternoon, and was obliged to
bring up there, the tide being against her and the wind
having dropped. It was in removing from the anchorage
to endeavour to reach Spithead on the following. morn-
ing that tfne unfortunately got on shore. The Warspite
sails admirably, even in a moderate breeze, but it is
when the wind is fresh that she displays her speed to
the greatest advantage. It is considered by competent
judges that few, if any, ships in our own, or any other
service, can equal her. :She is now having her bulk
bends fitted up to make the additional cabins necessary
for the accommodation of Lord Ashburton and suite.
The Hastings, 74, is nearly unrigged, and will be paid
off to-Morrow. •
The Queen, 110, is likely to remain at Spithead for
three or four weeps longer, as she is still considerably
short of her complement of hands, and it is expected it
will take that time before she obtains the whole of them.
A Mitch man-of-war is lying at the Motherbank. She
saluted the British flag yesterday, and the compliment
was returned by the St. Vincent, which hoisted the Dutch
eolours at the tore.
The Rhadamandins, steam troop-ship, sailed on Tues-
day for the Mediterranean, having on board a company
of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of
Lieut. Ford, and a detachment of gunners and drivers of
the Loral Artillery, under the command of Capt. Dunlop.
She also takes out 50 boys for the Mediterranean squa-
dron, and has 30 women and 45 children on board, being
the wiVes and families of the soldiers on board.
'Che Rapid, 10, is quite ready for sea and will sail for
the e(Zqst of Africa in the course of the next week.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 27.—This port has not escaped the
visitation of the tremendous gale of Wednesday last., and
it is feared that from the coast of Cornwall sad accounts
are forthcoming of the effects of its violence.
The Delight, 10, packet-brig, Liententant-Commander
W ilium Lory, arrived here yesterday with the mail from
Mexico. She intended to have put in at Falmouth, but
was driven further ut) the Channel by the furious gale.
The Delight has brought home, from Mexico, a quantity
of specie for the merchants. She sailed from Falmouth
fi-ir Mexico on the 17th of September last.
The Spy, 3, Lieutet:Ant-Commander J. M. Potbury,.
arrived here yesterday, icom Portsmouth. It blew such
a hurricane the whole of the day, that to seeure her safety
in the Sound, she was obliged to hoist a signal for an ad-
ditional anchor, which was supplied to her by the Tail
lighter. Scarcely any boat could rest for a moroent in
the water on her keel.
