NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
ADMIRALTY LEVEE.—The last levee of naval officers at the
Admiralty for the season was held on Friday by the Earl of
Haddington, and was attended by the following :—Captains
Sir John Ross, Creagh, Carter, W. G. Purchas, J. N. Lott •
Commanders G. Spettigue, J. G. Gordon, J. C. Gill, N.
Robilliard, and Chalooer; and Lieutenants John Wilson,
James Rawstorne, Foote, and G. B. Payne. Colonel Colby, of
the Royal Engineers, also had an interview with the First Lord
of the Admiralty on that day.
THE ROYAL YACHT AND HER TENDER THE FAIRY.—The
weather for the past week at Portsmouth has been so squally,
wet, and unfavourable, that her Majesty and Prince Albert have
had but few opportunities of making excursions on the water.
Friday was a tolerably fine day, and at four r. m. the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, went
up to Spithead with the Queen and Prince Albert on board,
the royal standard flying at the main; the Monarch, a fine
1,400 ton frigate-built ship, belonging to Mr. Green, lowered
her flag and cheered as the yacht passed her, which was
graciously acknowledged by her Majesty and Prince Albert
bowing in return. The royal yacht was saluted by the
Portsmouth garrison guns, and afterwards steered her course
for Cowes.

water, and fuel. She will leave for Woolwich on Monday, to
prepare for embarking her Majesty and Prince Albert for con-
veyance to Germany. The Fairy, in the interim, will attend
the royal party at Cowes.
The Fairy, royal yacht steam tender, Master-Commander
Thain, arrived at Portsmouth from Cowes on Friday morning,
and was taken into dock to have a new screw attached, which,
having been done, she came out of dock on Satui day morning,
and proceeded to Cowes in the afternoon. While in dock en
Friday numbers of ladies and gentlemen visited her, who very
much admired the beautiful little vessel.
The Fairy is ordered to proceed from Portsmouth, after the
departure of the Court from Osborne, direct fur the Rhine, on
which liver her services will be called in requisition by her
Majesty. Mr. Penn, the constructor of the engines of the
Fairy, is ordered to accompany her.
It was incorrectly stated last week .that the Fairy had
grounded in steering over the shallows going from Cowes to
Portsmouth. The fact was, the Fairy had on board a poor
fellow for Haslar Hospital, and the Commander being desirous
of landing him as close as possible to the hospital, to give him
less distance to walk, ran in very near ; her light draft of water
permitted her to do so, and put him ashore at Haslar Beach.
Her waiting there until the boat returned to her, gave rise to
the incorrect report that she was on shore.
The Fairy is to receive the King of the Netherlands on
Tuesday, and to take his Majesty on a short excursion.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ADDITIONS IN WOOLWICH DOCK-
YARD.—The Admiralty have decided on purchasing the pre-
mises and gardens on the north side of George-street, Wool-
wich. The site joins to Sir F. Collier's garden on the west,
and runs so far in that direction as the entrance to the town.
Their Lordships have ordered a plan of the proposed addition
to the establishment to be made, and the names of the proprie-
tors to be transmitted, to enable their solicitor to negotiate for
the property, so as to have possession in the next financial
year. It is proposed to erect some residences for the officers
on this ground, in lieu of some about to be taken down. It is
also intended to build a chapel on this spate, to be added to the 1
dockyard.
FIRE ON BOARD THE SOUTHAMPTON FRIGAU AT CHAT-
HAM.—The Southampton, 50 guns, lying in ordinary, about
ten o'clock on Saturday morning, was discovered to be on fire.
The dockyard fire-bell was sounded, and the Royal Marines
were turned out. The sentries along the wharfs of the dock-
yard fired their muskets, and the ship Poictiers her guns, and
every ship's boat at the station was immediately manned and
proceeded to the frigate. Wheal there the fire was found to
be confined to one of the after cabins, and was extinguished
in less than half an hour, mainly owing to the promptitude of
the ships' crews, under the guidance of their officers. The
fire was occasioned by a man who had been working in the
cabin by the light of a candle, and who, on being called away,
by signal on board the Janus, left it lighted, and the candle
falling against the lining set it on fire.
It is expected that a Board of Admiralty will pay the annual
visit of inspection to Chatham Dockyard on Tuesday next.
Commodore Sir Francis Collier, the Superintendentof Wool-
wich Dockyard, has returned to his official duties from leave of
absence.
No Captain has yet been appointed to the Excellent, gun-
nery ship, in the room of Sir Thomas Hastings, appointed

Sir James Clark, Mr. G. E. Anson, and the Equerry-in-

OVERTURNING or A SIIIP AND. NARROW ESCAPE
OF THE CA EIV. —On Friday morning the brig Flirt was going
down the river with reefed topsails and foresail set, when she
was overtaken in Woolwich ,reach by a sudden squall of wind
and rain from the south-west, and being very light, and with
no ballast on board, was blown over on her larboard side, and
began to fill. The master of the vessel and his crew got on to
the rigging, and thence to the hull. The brig was fast going
down in deep water, and the destruction of all hands appeared
inevitable, when the Waterman, No. 11, on her way to Lon-
don, made her way towarels the sinking vessel; and upon coaling
alongside her keel was visible about two feet above the water.
Mr. Leonard, an inspector of Thames police, and his boat's
crew, cams up at the same time, and having rescued the cap-
tain and crew, put them onboard the Waterman. A warp was
then run out from the steamer, and the Flirt was towed by the
'aterman into shallow water, and she settled down immedi-
ately afterwards.
The Right Hon. the Speaker, as is customary on
the Saturday preceding the prorogation of Parliament, gave a
grand dinner on Saturday last, at his mansion in Eaton-square,
to the principal officers of th. House of Commons.
