NAVAL INIILLIOENCL-

The Prince Leopold, of ISO tons, is now leading In the River
with cannon, muskets, shells, ball, powder 4 and every implement
of sear, by order of the Agent of the Pasha of Egypt, and is
irtintrittrees for Alexandria.
Accounts have been received at Lloyd's, by the Neptune,
Captain Lawson, of a &et consisting of nine sail having been
seen by him in lat. 39. long. 43. 50. bearing S.E. lying to. On
going to the masthead he saw sixteen; could distinguish five
ships and one schooner, the rest appeared brigs. At five P.M.
th, y bore up, and steered about E. by & None of them ap-
peared larger than small frigates. The above is supposed to be
Lord Coot SANE'S fli-et.

By a letter of the of May, from Captain REM of the brig
Fame, of Aberdeen, at Smyrna, we regret to learn, that on the
Ist of April, one of his boats, which had gone ashore in the
morning, was, on her return, about one o'clock in the afternoon,
upset in a squall, about three miles from thc vessel, when all on
board, six in number, were unfortunately drowned. The unfor-
tunate sufferers were, Mr. liwynatn, supercargo—a linguist—
two seamen, and two apprentices, belonging to the Fame.
A boat was lost, with thirteen men, en their voyage from
Portree market to various landing places on the west coast of
Scotland, the latter end of May. The greater number of the
men were married, and have left families, destitute and help-
less, to deplore their loss.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 6.—The Royal George yacht has bred
ordered to be ready for his MAJESTY'S reception on the 25th
inst. The Hon. Sir C. PAGET, and Officers of the Apollo yacht,
will attend his Males.ry for this season. The Buse, 10 guns,
has been recommissioned for the Sheerness station, by Captain
STEWART. Lieutenants A. MILLER and C. J. F. NEWTON, 0.
Semite. Surgeon, and W. WISEMAN, Putser, are also appointed.
The PANDORA has been re-commissioned by Captain HUNK, for
the Newfoundland station Lieutenants G. 13RIRICTON and W.
KELL:, Mr. JAMES KENNEDY, Surgeon, snd Mr. JAMES CLEARY,
, Purser, are appointed. It is said that Sir B. Ilatatowett. will
proceed on a cruize, at the commencement of the Equinoctial
gales, in the new line-of-battle ship Rossas.t., for the purpose of
ascertaining the qualities of a round-stern vessel of that class in
Irving weather. The Lords of the Admiralty have given per-
isaion to Captain !TATES, R.N. to build a cutter in this Dock-
yard, for his Majesty's service, according to his own scientific.
prnciples, which is said to promise great improvement in the
art, in all respects. Last evening forty workmen were dis- I
charged from this Dock-yard, and 15 carpenters, joiners, and
bricklayers. A number of shipwrights have chosen to accept
the situations of the discharged labourers. All the Quartermen
are to be discharged, upon, it is believed, superannuation, ex-
cept thr.-e, viz. Messrs. Arise/n), %"-ii.icox, and Misr, who
are, with Messrs. RAINES, STURDY, ANCELT., Avi itO, OAESTIOT
(late Master Mastinaker), and Cowisos (Foreman of the Boat-
house), appointed Foremen of the Dock-yard, with a salary of
2itt per annum each. On Friday morning we were visited by
thunder, lightning, and rain—the latter after two months
drought. Just before two o'clock, an explosion took place in
the atmosphere, and a fire bolt descended, which, providentially,
did no injury, as it fell into our harbour. Coruscations of
light, resembling pointed arrows, attended its descent, with a
tremendous peal of thunder, and a strong sulphureous smell
was emitted. The water .pouted up 10 or 12 feet, when the
bolt fell in. About this time the lightning struck the main top-
mast of the Al.siors guard-ship. The electric fluid struck the
flag-staff, and 'descended to the quarter-deck. The main top-
mast is rendered unserviceable. The effects on the mainmast
cannot ba ascertained until it is taken to pieces; hut it appears
to have passed through the heart of the mast. The rain con-
tinued several hours, and has again fallen in a steady fructifying
course nearly the whole of this day, which must prove of great
benefit to the crops. The corn harvest commenced on the 4th
inst.—the earliest day known by the oldest agriculturist hare.

PARISIAN FASHIONS.—Hats of Leghorn straw and of white
chip, the brims somewhat large, continue to be worn; there is a
rosette in front, with a steel star or pin in the middle. These
are seen even at all the balls champetre, on the promenades, and
in the boxes at the Theatres. lied, sky blue, anti lemon colour,'
are the prevailing colours. The dresses have undergone some
little change; they are made much fuller, the backs are not
worn so tight to the shape, and instead of the skirts being gored,
they are made more full, and to resemble the [olds of drapery.
We have seen at sonic parties, a little corset, or body of light
green ; this is made tizht to the shape, and laced ; there is a pet-
ticoat to match, with a fanciful border, or trimming, the same
as the sleeves, and a sash, which is worn as a scarf, over one
shoulder and tied at the side.
Si.exe-warsamo.—A few days ago, William Fuller, of Roydon,
in Norfolk, having taken too much liquor at Diss, fell asleep in
the streets, and dreaming that he was at home and going to bed,
deliberately undressed himself to his shirt, and continued his
walk till coming to a gate which led to a stable, he turned ie.
and finished his ilight'A repose. On awaking in the morning, he
was exceedingly astonished to find himself undressed, and in •
strange place. On inquiring Cu: his clothes, he found them la a
: gamiest it I abort distance.
