NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 25.—His Majesty's ship
Druid, 4G, Captain W. Sandom, arrived on Thurs-
day from Portsmouth, having put into Portland
Roads on her way to this port. She was towed
into Harbour by the Meteor steam-vessel the same
afternoon, to prepare to be paid off, and to be
surveyed.
Hl3 Majesty's sloop Lightning, 18, Commander
Thos. Dickinson (b) sailed on Monday for the South
American station.

The Britomart, (10) Commander Johnson, came
in on Saturday afternoon from cruising.
His Majesty's ship Britannia, 120, Captain G.
Burdett, sailed yesterday for her destination, about
four in the afternoon. The sight was extremely
grand, and attracted a multitude of spectators to
the Hoe. The Marines, who were exercising on
the Hoe at the time, drew up in line as she ap-
proached in one of her tacks, and the band played
Rule Britannia as she passed. The wind hanging
to the Westward of North, it is highly probable she
will be obliged to return to the Sound.

Leveret, Royalist, Eclipse, Calypso, and Meteor
steam-vessel.

during the same voyage, sprung a leak, and was
obliged to put into Yarmouth and discharge her
cargo to repair; and on entering this port got on

At Lewes fair, on Monday, there were about
26,000 sheep and lambs penned. The sale was unusually
dull, and we believe many farmers were never even asked
the price of their sheep ; yet the best stock nude good
prices. Some ewes (Mr. GOIIRINGE'S), 36,e. ; some
lambs (the Duke of ItultmoNn's), .245. ; and wethcrs,
as high as 40g. The Duke's was an excellent pen of
lambs ; and, considering the distance they travelled to the
fair, and the weather, we have seldom seen a better parcel.
A great many were driven home unsold. 'There was an
unusual number of beasts there, but we thin i hardly ene
was sold, nor can it be symulerod 4t, when the state of the
land is considered, for iu this county there are some
thousand acres of the hest razing land under W;ter,,
