NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

Under this heading I have had little of interest to record for a long time past. There have been neither arrivals nor departures during the week. The cruiser Tndaunted, still in a transition state as to colour, has completed some of her altera~ tious, and went into dock yesterday. Her crew, now on the Zamar, will return to her next month. There has been some delay in the fitting out of the new flagship Porer ful, which was to have sailed from England about the 15th instant, Information has now been received that she will not leave the dockyard until about the 23rd inst,, and as she is coming vid the Cape it will be two or three months before she will arrive in these waters.

Hongkong, 11th September.
