NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 15.—The Cornwall transport sai!ed
yesterday, with stores and provisions for the fleet at Ch:na.
Admiral Sir Edward Codrington has struck his flag, and
gone on leave for two or three days.
The St. Vincent and Victory, guard ships, are entering
volunteers for the navy daily at this port, and a great number
are being continually brought here in the various tenders fro n
the other seaports in the kingdom. The Excellent gunnery
ship is also entering seamen for the purpose of instructing them
in gunnery practice, previous to their being distributed in other
ships. The inducement held out to them is, that they shall
enter for five years, to be instructed as seamen gunners, and
from them only can gunners and gunners' mates be relecte,l.
They will also be preferred for the situation of boatswain, if
otherwise qualified, and all the ratings of petty officers will be
open to them. Oa being discharged into sea-go'ng ships, they
will receive two shillings per month in addition to able sea-
men's pay, or that of any hi her rating which they may hold.
When their first period of five years service expires, on pro-
ducing eertificates of good conduct, they will, if they re-enter
immediately, be entitled to four shillings per month in addi-
tion to their pay as able seamen, or of any higher rating they
may hold; and on the expiration of their second period of
service, if they
shillings per month over and above their pay as seamen or
petty officers. again re-enter, they will be entitled to fire

Korn the easterly winds, which have been prevailing for
this last week, there has not been any arrival of homeward-
bound vessel, though it is expected that many of them are
now in the Channel.
WOOLWICH, APRIL Mastiff surveying vessel,
Master Commander G. Thomas, sailed on Sunday, along with
her tender, the Woodlark, to resume the survey of the Orkney
Islands during the ensuing summer.
The Fearless steam-vessel, Captain Frederick Bullock, sailed
this morning, to resume the survey off Margate, and, during
the summer, will examine the coast to the mouth of the
Thames, and as far up the river as Putney-bridge.
The Contlanee steam-vessel left Woolwich this morning fur
Plymouth.
The Salamander steam-vessel has had her repairs completed,
and was tried down the river this morning.
The pinnance of the Geyser steam-vessel has been fitted with
a five-horse power disc engine, invented by Commander E. J.
Carpenter, of the Geyser. 'The pinnace was tried yesterday
off llungerford Market, in the presence of the Lords of the Ad.
miralty, and was found to answer very well. The Geyser is
still in the basin at Woolwich, and she is to he the model vessel
by which other vessels arc to be fitted. Arrangements are at
present in progress for fitting the azimuth compass on her quar-
ter deck, under the immediate superintendence of Captain
Johnson, of the Royal Navy.
The Acheron steam vessel is ordered to be brought forward
for commission.

The Styx steam vessel, Captain Vidal, is nearly ready for sea.
It is Contemplated, although the order has not yet been

given to fit one of her Majesty's frigates already built with
powerful steam engines, for the purpose of facilitating her
progress whon employed in transporting large bodies of troops
to various parts of the world where their services m;iy be re-
quired, and especially in cases of emergency.. The Pene-
lope frigate, of 42 as present at Chatham, is named as
the vessel which wilts, first fitted out, and it is expected
the engines will b&Aipplied by Messrs. Seaward and Co.,
the extensive contractors at Limehouse. It is probable
this is the vessel alluded to in the daily papers, extracted
from the Mechanics' Magazine, and headed " New Steam
Frigate, the largest in the world," as no orders have been issued
by the Admiralty for the building and equipment of a new
steam-f. igate, as stated in the paragraph. On the contrary,
the Geyser, steam-frigate, has given such satisfaction that she
has been appointed the model for steam-vessels of war for the
use of her Majesty's Navy. In the event, however, of the
application of powerful steam-engines to the Penelope frigate
being perfec ly sneeesssll, there is every probability other
frigates, of equal and of larger dimensions, will be similarly
appointed, still retaining their present rigging, which will not
not now be injured, owing to the discovery of the smoke con-
suming apparatus.
The master shipwrights assembled in Committee at Wool-
wich are ordered to return to their respective dockyards.

PORTSMOUTH, Aran. 18.—The Formidable, -64, anchored
at Gibraltar on the morning of the 28th ult., in seven das
from Shithead; the Queen, 1l 1, with Vice• Admiral Sir E.
Owen's flag, passed up for Malta at the same time. These two
ships had carried but low sail all the way out; hut on one
occasion, when both ships were running free, with close and
treble re; ed topsails and foresail, for 22 consecutive hours, the
Formida'Jle spared her foresail, to prevent her from running
ahead of the Admiral.

The Malabar, 72. Captain Sir G. R. Sartorius, is ordered
,from Gibraltar to Plymouth. The officers and ship's com-
pany are to be transferred to the America, 59. It is rumoured
the Malabar will be fitted for a troop-ship; the Jaseur, /6,
was at Gibraltar on the 2d inst.

The Beubow and Daphne, from Malta for England, had not
reached Gibraltar on the 2d April, when the Oriental, steam-
packet passed out of the Mediter ••anean.
The Wasp, 18, left Gibraltar for England, on the 25th
March.

The Favourite, IS, Captain Sullivan. left Sydney, for New
Zealand, on the 21st October.
The Vandalia, American sloop of war, mounting 20 guns,
C..mmander Ramsay, left Norfolk for the coast of Africa, on
the 17th ult. The question of Right of Search, we strongly sus-
pect, is to be tried through the interference of this vessel.
Her 'Majesty's sloop Scylla, and the Alban steam-vessel,
have been ordered to the chops of the channel, to assist any
merchant ship detained there by the easterly winds.
The Nauti'us, 10, Lieut. Paulson, arrived on Monday from
Hall, and other towns on the Eastern coast, with volunteers for
the flag ship.
The Spitfire, steam frigate, was launched at Pembroke
dock-yard, on the 24th ult.

The Orestes, Satellite, and Albatross, sloops-of-war, are or-
dered for common at this port.
The Speedy, cutter, arrived on Monday from Sheerness.
The Shearwater was paid at Woolwich to-day • the Sala-
mander is on trial of her machinery in the river; the Geyser,
Styx, Rhadarnanthus, Lightning, are refitting; the Mastiff has
sailed from Woolwich for the Shetland Islands.

The Oriental steam-packet was this morning released from
quarantine ; about eighty passengers landed here and proceeded
to town by ithe early trains. The steamer is gone to South-
ampton.

'the chartered s'nip Beulah, taken up by the East India Com-
pany, with a detaehment of the 29th Regiment on beard for
India, got on shore on the east side of Dungeness, on
Thursday morning last, but fortunately the safety of her
crew and passengers were not at all endangered;
two steamers from the river were sent to her as-
sistance, and the Volcano steamer left this port last evening for
the same purpose. The fact of this ship getting on shore does
not much surprise us (we know not who commands her, or in
what condition she is as to age and soundness) because, for the
last thirty years, the transport department has been most dis-
gracefully conducted ; for that period the authorities have
grossly neglected their duty. All the world has keown that ol
and insufficient ships have constantly been taken up; that most
incompetent and ignorant men have frequently been employed
to command them , that a due inquiry into the competency of
the masters, mates, and crew has never been instituted ; and
that the survey of the ships themselves, by some strange collu-
sion, has been slurred over; and we are aware that the admo-
tions of a Gallant Officer against the emdloyment of ships he
specified have been disregarded by the administration of the
day. It is time this matter was strictly innuired into ; the
safety of the troops demand it, and the honour of the country is
frequently in hazard by its neglect.
The ship, Sir John Fal.taff, arrived yesterday from New
Zealand, with spars, which are offered for sale at the Dock-
yard, having been brought home on private account.
The Penelope, which is ordered to be lengthened and con-
verted into a steam frigate, is to be 650 horse power ; to have
engine room for 600 tons of fuel ; complete stowage under
hatches for 1,000 troops, with four months' stores and provi-
sions, exclu4ive of a crew of about 450 men ; and is to be
armed with 20 guns of the heaviest calibre, besides carronades.
The Qa:bec, New York packet, sailed on Monday : she took
193 emigrants.
The ship, Sir George Arthur, sailed to-day, with stores for
Bermuda : she takes out eighty conv.cts from this port for the

seamen, pre being paid off, to deposit their hammocks and
clothes, if they think fit, in the storehouses of the Dockyard,
especial care being taken that such things are clean, and that

lists are to be taken, and a ticket to be given to each man, spe-
cifying the exact building, room, and rack, in which his bag and
hammock is to be found. Each man is to give an address where
he is to be found, as at the end of three months, if his property
be not claimed, it will be sold, and the proceeds given to the
Seamen's Hospital Ship. Should he re-enter the service at
another port his things will be forwarded to him.
SEAMENS' SAVINGS' BANK.—It is not generally known to
the Navy that seamen, on foreign [service,' may, if they think

countant-General into the Savings' Bank, in St. Martin's-lane,
in such seaman's name ' • or on being paid off he may leave any
part of his wages in the hands of the pay clerks, for the same
purpose. Forms are furnished to every ship to facilitate these
investments, and the seamen ',honk: understand that the mo-
ment the money is an invested it bears interest ; he can autho-
rise any person he thinks proper to go to the Accountant-Gene •
ral and demand his book; and further, any person, with the
book in their hand, and producing an order properly filled up
to the said Savings' Bank, may have the whole or any part of
such investment, on giving seven days' no ice.
Mr. W. Westrope is appointed Inspector of Shipwrights in
this Doek•yard, vice Phillips, retired.

THE RO-EHAMPTON MURDER.
CAPTURE OF GOOD.
At a late hour on Saturday night, Mr. Humphries, an in-
spector of police on the Dover Railroad, arrived at the Green-
wich Police-station from Tonb:idge, and communicated to Mr.
Mallehen, the Superintendent of the R division, the intelli-
gence that in the course of the morning he had apprehended a
man answering, in every particular, the description given of
Daniel Good in the Hue and Cry, and in the Government
proclamations, and whom subsequent circumstances bad led
him to believe was the murderer. It appears, that about nine
o'clock in the morning of Saturday, Humphries received infor-
mation that a man, employed as a bricklayer's labourer on
some new buildings adjacent, but not belonging to the line,
had excited suspicior•s at his lodgings by his restless and agi-
tated manner, which had been confirmed by a labourer on the
railway, who had formerly belonged to the V division of Me-
tropolitan Police, stating that he had seen the man in the
neighbourhood of Putney, and that he believed him to be
Good. Humphries proceeded to the spot and took the man
into custody whilst at work, and then told him on what charge
he apprehended him. The man, in a most firm manner, denied
that his name was Good, and said it was James Connor.
Mr. Humphries gave him into the custody of two of the
constables of the line, and proceeded to his lodgings where he
found a bundle containing the clothes described in the pro‘ la-
motion, together with a silver watch, between three and four
pounds in cash, Lnd a cornelian breast-pin. Suspicion being
thus strengthened into certainty, no time was lost in conveying
the prisoner before Hare, E-q., a County Magistrate, at the
office of Mr. Se! oories Vie. Clerk to the Magistrates at Tunbridge.
The prisoner refused to say who or what he was, merely re-
marking that they would soon find out their mistake. He
was then conveyed to the county gaol at Maidstone, by the
railway constables, and Mr. Humphries lost no time in pro.
(lering towards London with the intelligence,
Upon receiving this intelligence, Mr. Mallclieu immediately
started to town, in company with Mr. Humphries, and the
two proceeded to the office of the Police Commissioners in
Scotland-yard, where they received instructions to take post
horses, and reach Maidstoac without delay, taking with them
sonic person who could identify the prisoner. Having pro-
ceeded to Putney, and obtained the assistance of police con-
stable Wheeler, of the V division, the party started about
midnight in a post chaise, and reached Maidstone at four yes-
terday ( Sunday) morning. Mr. Bone, the Governor of the
county gaol, accompanied them to the cell in which the pri-
soner and two other men were confined. The prisoners were
sleeping at the time the party entered, but on Mr. Bone or-
dering them to rise, the murderer sprung on his feet, and
coolly confronted them, when he was immediately identified by
police constable Wheeler as Daniel Good, He did not utter a
single word, but behaved in the most collected manner. He
had previouly, in answer to questions from the Governor,
stated that he was a widower, and had one child,. a boy,
about 11 years of age. Knowing the anxiety manifested in the

metropolis, and anxious to put the Folic: Commissioners in
po,sesq-in of the important infor.i.ation, Mr. Mallelieu,
without stopping, proceeded to London, leaving directions wit h
Mr. Humphries to obtain the authority •of the nigistrate. fur
the immediate delivery of Good into his custody, with instruc-
tions to bring him up to town immediately.
Along-the whole line ,if road Ora news uf the caption bad
spread like wild re, and tke inhabitants of the various parishes
on the Maidstone- roal, anxion,ly watched for the return of
the post-chaise, and seemed greatly disappointed on the superin-
tendent returning alone.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

It aype-ss that about half-past five o'clock on Monday morning
last, a man with a fustian jacket and trousers, with a dark waist-
coat, entered the Angel public-house, at the southern extremity
of Tonbridge, with a hod, in which was found a small bundle,
and addressing Mr. Adams, the landlord, asked him if he could
assist him to a job as a bricklayer's labourer. Mr. Adaihs
told him that there was a good deal of building going en in
the neighbourhood, and it was very likely he would get some-
thing to do. The man upon this observed that if he procured
work he would come to lodge at his house, and he then called
for a penny loaf and a halt pint of beer, which he had.
The appearance of the.man was such as to raise considerable
suspicion in the mind of Mr. Adams that it he was not what he
represented himself to be, and the suspicion was considerably
heightened by the fact of his having a perfectly new hod, a cir•
cumstance of not very frequent occurrence among this frater-
nity, particularly in such times as the present ; but his attention
was at the time taken off him by the arrival of other customers,
to whom he had to attend, and lost sight of him for-tome time.
At about ten o'clock Mr. George Steers, foreman to'Nlr. Barritt,
a builder at Tunbridge Wells, and who is at present superin-
tending the building of some new cottages, between the Angel
and the South Eastern terminus, called at the Angel, and the
stranger having applied.to him, he at once engaged him, and
set him to work.
Before leaving the Angel the stranger told the landlord he
expected a parcel by Mr. Friend's Sussex coach from Grim-
stead-green, and on the same afternoon a parcel, tied up in a
blue cotton handkerchief, was 1. ft by Mrs. Friend, and kept
with her. It evidently, as the landlord believes, contained
wearing apparel; and on the same evening the man called and
took it away, and Mr. Adams heard nothing more of him until
Saturday mori.ing, when he was brought to his house by Mr.
Humphries, an inspector of police on the South Eastern Rail-
way. From the Monday morning until Saturday morning the
man continued to work, as before stated, and nothing par.
titular occurred until about ten o'c'ock, when a person em•
ployed on the railway works, named Colliflower, who had been
observed two or three times before to scan the stranger
with a very auspicious eye, informed Mr. Hunaphrses of
his strong impression that he was the murderer of
the female at Putney. This at once induced the inspector to
narrowly observe the man, and he was instantly struck with
his perfect likeness to that of the murderer described in the
hand-bills and the Hue and Cry. He went up to him, and
asked him if he would accompany him to the Angel, and take
a glass of ale. The man, without much apparent surprise, or
betraying any emotion that struck the officer, replied he had
no objection, and both went to the Angel together. On
reaching there Mr. Humphries took him into the parlour, and
there left him in charge of constables Ladlow and Peckham,
having first put a pair of handcuffs on, while he proceeded to
his lodging, which was at the house of a basket:maker, named
Harving, and after searching in his room he found the bundle
described by Mr. Adams, and which had been received by the
coach. On undoing the bundle, which was tied up in a blue
handkerchief, he found it to contain a dark coat, a dark waist-
coat, a pa's o f drab breeches, and drab gaiters, all of which
answered in every particular the dress the murderer wore when
he escaped from the constable at Roehampton, and was last seen
in town.

There was also in the bundle a pair of cord breeches and a
white muslin cravat, such as are worn by coachmen, and cer.
tainly not by hodmen.
On the constable Peckham entering the parlour of the Angel,
he found the man still manacled and in a high agitated state,
sitting close to the fire, and observing his making a strange sort
of-movement with his hands, and shuffle something it:to the
fireplace, which caused him to a,k, " What he. was at ?"
The man replied," It is only my watch. The constable in-
stantly seized his hand, and in it found a fashionable and valu-
ab!e double-cased silver watch, engine-turned, such as are
worn in the waistcoat pocket, with a blue ribbon and two seals
attached. He did not ask a single question as to the cause of
his apprehension. _ _

A number of persons employed at the railway here entered
the house, and the officers, by the desire of the landlord, re-
moved their prisoner to an up-stair reom. .Here he again be-
same fidgetty, and seemed as if he wished to get rid of something
from his right leg • and on examining the limb. the officer
found, made fast to the garter, a purse containing 31. 179. 6d.,
`namely, three sovereigns, a half sovereign, and three half
crowns. The prisoner appeared much chagrined at this dis-
covery ; and, upon further search, Peckham found inside his
shirt a gold breast pin, with a large stone in it.
Feeling something bulky on his right shoulder, the constable
put in his hand and drew out a piece of padding, which, on ex-
amination, was discovered to consist of an. apron, which had
evidently been made from a petticoat, and of material resem-
bling black muslin, in which was rolled a pair of cotton stock-
ing, marked "E. Gibbon." On examining the former, it
was found to be much stained with blood, and the prisoner,
when asked how he came to have such articles, and in such a
place, said he had put them there to save his shoulder from the
hod, but could not account for the stains of blood upon the
apron. _ _

- At one o'clock ho was removed from the Angel to the office
of Mr. Schoones, Clerk to the Magistrates, followed by an im-
mense concourse of persons. In a few minutes after Frederick
Hare, Esq., a county Magistrate, attended, and the prisoner,
who gave the name of Richard Hall, was arraigned before him.
The Magistrate informed the prisoner of .the nature of the
charge against him—namely, that of murdering a young woman,
named Jane Jones, alias Good, and subsequently mutilating her
body, on the premises of Mr. Shiell, at Roehanipton.
The prisoner merely replied, " I am an innocent man;
and evidence can be produced, before the twelve Judges, to
prove it."
__ _

Inspector Hurnphri , and constables Ledlow and Peck-
ham were examined, and deposed to the facts before stated.
But the most important witness was the man Colliflower, who
deposed that, about two years ago, he belonged to the tletro-
politan Police Force, and had lien stationed at Putney • and
had fr, quently seen the prisoner on the premises of Mr. Ale'',
ant drive that gentleman's pair of ponies in his small carriage ;
and he was quite confidant of his identity, as he had frequently
given him a light.
As the close of the evidence the prisoner, who, during the
examination, had been evidently suffering from strong excite-
ment, merely repeated " he -,vas innocent, and he would be
able to produce proif of it on another day."
'the prisoner was then remanded, and a light cart being in
readines;, he was conveyed by the two constables, Ledlow
and Peckham, to Maidstone gaol. On arriving at the village
of Hadlovv, the prisoner entreated the officers to. p, rmit him to
get shaved, though he scarcely required the operation, and they
of course refused to comply with his request.
On arriving at Merryworth, the next town, the prisoner
made a similar request, but with more urgent solicitations, but
was again refused. The officers' however,' pulled up at the
King's Head Inn, at that place to have some refreshment. and
gave their prisoner some bread and cheese and beer, which he
eat with apparently an excellent appetite.
They then proceeded on the journey, and in passing the next
village, Teston, the prisoner, fur the third time, entreated they
would permit him to get shaved; and here his supposed object
became apparent to the constables, and they, in consequence,
kept a most vigilant eye upon him, and handed him over to
Mr. Bone, the Governor of Maidstone county gaol, at 7 o'clock
LATEST PA lt TIC ULARS.
As has been previously stated, Good was expected to ar-
rive at the Greenwich police station, Blackheath-hill, ft om
Maidstone, at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and a
great crowd of people were congregated, anxious to get a
glimpse of so notorious a character. About two o'clock a
horse express was sent over to Woolwich to order the police
van of the R. Division from thence to the Greenwich station,
for the purpose of conveying the culprit to Bow-street.
on his arrival. Upon the van reaching Greenwich the ex-
citement became intense, as it was fully expected that Good
had been brought up by water, and had been brought by that
rout, via Chatham, Gravesend, &c. ; and the people were
accordingly disappointed in their expectations. 'I he
next object of interest was the arrival of the " Favourite "
Maidstone coach, which generally reaches Greenwich
about ten, minutes before seven o'clock, and it having
been rumoured that Good would arrive by that conveyance,
the Blaekheath-road, and more particularly opposite to the
station. house, was densely crowded by spectators. However,
the coach arrived at near about its usual time, but did not stop,
still the coachman pointed significantly to the rear, and the (in-
ference caught was, that he was not far behind. Shortly after
seven o'clock a post-chaise was seen advancing down the hill,
and a general rush took place towards the police station gates,
and it was almost immediately ascertained that Good,
guarded by Inspector Humphries, of the Dover line of rail-
way, and Wheeler, who had, on the previou3 night been down
to Maidstone to identiry him, were contained therein. The
gate was, as preconcerted, thrown open and the cEaise admit-
ted, when they were immediately closed, and Good was trans-
ferred to the R division police-van; and shortly afterwards,
escorted by 170 Et and 83 R, horse-patrol, with a police-ser-
geant of the R di vision, Humpheries, and Wheeler sitting in
front of the vehicle, they proceeded to Bow street, where the
criminal will be examined this day.
On Saturday, the person called Molly Good, who passed for
Good's wife, together with a man named Gammell, who was
seen to leave her house, and in whose possession some of the
garments which belonged to the murdered woman were found,
were Lakin up on the charge of being aecessaries after the fact.
In Gammell's apartment, it is said, several letters and other
things were found which fix on him the charge of aiding Good
to escape. Both have been committed to prison, and will be
brought up for examination this day.
At eight o'clock last evening Good arrived in a small, covered
van, at the Bow street police station, from Alaidstone gaol.
He was in the custody of Mr. Humphries, the superintendent,
and three constables of the South Eastern Railway police,
and it is said never spoke to either of them all the way up.
Good made no ob.ervation upon his being placed in a cell at
Bow street, and all the three prisoners now in custody appear
to be determined upon preserving the most obstinate silence. 1

SUICIDE OF A RELIEVING OFFICER.—The little town
of Shoreham, Sussex, was thrown into a state of considerable
excitement yesterday (Thursday) morning by the report that
Puttock, the relieving officer of the Steyning Union, had shot
himself. 'The report proved to be true. Puttock resided near
Bonfield, and was in the habit of attending the meetings
of the Board of Guardians at Shoreham on Wednesdays.
He drove to Shoreham on Wednesday afternoon; but, in-
stead of going to the meeting himself, he s"nt a boy with
his bag. He put his horse and cart up at the Bridge
Inn, which is occupied by Mr. Alechen, where he took
some refreshment. Between five and six o'c'ock he went
out, and shortly after he was gone some person came to
inquire for.hirn. He wa,s not to be found. About seven
o'clock in the evening a little girl went. to the water-closet
at the back of Alechen's house, and finding the door fastened.
she came away. Another person went to the place about a
quarter before eleven, and the door was still fastened. The
landlord was apprised of the circumstance, and he immediately
took means to force the doer open, when he discovered the
dead body of Puttock, with a pistol in each hand. It was evi •
