MALTA, Sept. 17.—Her Majesty's steam sloop Antelope arrived from Corfu on the 11th with de spatches, mails, invalids, and prisoners from the squadron, and this morning her Majesty's ship Endymion arrived from Augusta Bay in Sicily, where the fleet was left yesterday. The letters by her are not yet delivered. It appears that their stay at Corfu was only a few hours, in consequence of the prevalence thereat of smallpox. The New port surveying vessel left yesterday for Sicily, to resume her labours on the south-west coast. The following is taken from the Malta Times of Thurs day, Sept. 10 :—" We wonder what the French, Italian, and Spanish sanitary authorities will think of us when they hear that we have given the sfratto .—we believe there is no English ward for it, but by circumlocution it may be said to be, to send to the right about'—to a Spanish ship which bad arrived from the West Indies in 46 days, because in Matanzas, where she had loaded, there was yellow fever and cholera. The Joven Antonio left Ma tanzas with a cargo of sugar for Malta, and arrived here with no sick on board, and without having had any illness during the voyage. She had a foul bill of health, and there seems to be no doubt that both cholera and yellow feverexisted at the port of load ing. Immediately after her arrival the Board of Health was convened, and what was decided did not transpire, for no public order or notice was issued, but the ship was ordered to leave the har bour. The captain urged that he had no provisions. A respite of a few hours was granted, and on Tues day morning, Sept. 2, the ill-starred ship, after having been for 46 days at sea, again left, bound, we believe, for Marseilles. But this is not all. The Joven Antonio was sailing away bound for Mar seilles, certain of receiving a less unhospitable re ception, and was scarcely out of sight, when the Spanish ship Palma entered the great harbour laden with a cargo of sugar, from Matanzas, which she had left contemporaneously with the Joven An tonio. She had originally taken on board, besides the sugar, some rum for Marseilles, and having dis charged the rum there performed the usual quaran tine (five days), changed her papers, came to Malta, and was received in pratique. Now it is well worth asking, what do sanitary boards aim at—forms or facts ? If the Joven Antonio had touched at Mar seilles and spent a few days there before coming to Malta, would she have been in reality less dan gerous than by coming direct to Malta and remain ing a week or so in quarantine here ? And if the Palma had come direct, could not she have per formed her quarantine in Malta, and must she per force be turned away ?" The Russian frigate Alexander Newsky, 51, Capt. Kremer, left Plymouth Sound on Monday morning for St. Petersburg. Prior to her departure his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexis, ac companied by Admiral Posiet, visited and inspected her Majesty's new armour-plated ship Northumber land, 24, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., in Plymouth Sound. Tile armour-plated screw steam corvette Pallas, 6, Capt. Edward H. G. Lambert, at Plymouth, received her powder on Monday, and is now ready for sea. The Prussian training brig Rover left Plymouth on Monday for the Mediterranean. The crew of the Northumberland, 24, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., were inspected on Monday by Port Admiral Sir William Martin, K.C.B. A revised code of regulations, approved by the Secretary of State for War, has been promulgated at Chatham for the guidance of all persons employed on board her Majesty's store department receiving vessels for gunpowder and ammunition, and in la boratory craft used for the conveyance of the same from the receiving vessels. The regulations direct that all persons employed in the receiving vessels, barges, boats, and magazines are to change their outer clothing—viz., coat, waistcoat, trousers, cap, and shoes, and will wear the suits specially provided for them. The change of clothes is ordered to be made in a shifting-house specially provided, where the ordinary clothes will be deposited. Smoking is s:rictly prohibited, and any man found with a luci fer match in his possession will be instantly ciis missed. No fire is, on any account, to be allowed on board any of the receiving vessels, barges, or boats, all of which are to be kept scrupulously clean and free from all loose gunpowder. In shipping or unshipping ammunition or gunpowder, tanned hides or wadmiltilts are to be laid over that portion of the vessel over which the cases or barrels pass, and a red flag is to be kept flying when there is any gunpowder or ammunition on board the receiving vessels. Detachments of 42 non-commissioned offizers and men of the Ist battalion of the Bth (the King's) Regiment, and 46 men of all ranks of the Ist bat talion of the 14th Regiment, will proceed from Chatham garrison this morning to Gravesend, where they will embark on board the screw steamer Brenda for Malta. Lieut. M. Stourton, Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment, and Lieut. J. Laing, Ist battalion of the 14th Regiment, will embark with the troops. Yesterday afternoon Major-General F. Murray, attended by his personal staff, left Chatham and proceeded to Gravesend, to make an official inspec tion of the Brenda previously to the embarkation of the troops. An order was yesterday received at Chatham directing 42 non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist battalion of the 14th Regiment, and 15 men of the 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, to pro ceed from their respective depots on the 30th inst., to embark for Bombay to join the service com panies of their corps. The officers ordered to em bark with the troops are Captain G. H. Cope, 14th Regiment, and Ensign A. G. Bridge, 10th Regiment. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Staff Commander William P. Braund to the Northumberland ; Lieut. Archibald L. Douglas to the Cambridge ; Lieut. J. W. Ram say to the Galatea ; Lieut. C. C. P. Fitzgerald, Lieut. E. G. Hulton, Lieut. J. A. T. Bruce, and Lieut. R. T. B. Bruce to the Excellent, for the Hercules ; John W. Nelson, engineer, to the Fis gard, for the Vivid ; Wm. Miller, engineer, to the Black Prince, for the tenders ; and A. G. Woods, naval cadet, to the Forte, as supernumerary. ETON COLLEGE.—The long vacation closes to-day (Wednesday) with the arrival of the lower boys at the college. The fifth form will return to Eton to-morrow, and the sixth form on Friday. _ _ After the withdrawal of the French expedition from Mexico several Frenchmen found their way into California, and have there proved valuable settlers in cul tivating the vine, to which they brought the knowledge acquirel in the greatest vine-growing country of the world. " There are thirty millions of bearing vines in California, with a capacity of fifteen millions of gallons of wine and one million gallons of brandy, which at the lowest estimate represents a yearly value of $8,000,000, with groat increase where there is a market. The large sum paid for foreign wines and brandy renders it desir able to encourage and foster this important branch of domestic industry. It is pointed out that few countries have climates adapted to the vino, and that its cultivators can reasonably expect a more certain return than from other agricultural operations. A great desire i. expressed in California for au organized effort to establish central wine factories for buying grapes and making wine, and for disseminating information abroad on the inducements offered by that State." ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Pills.—The most Bene ficial Medicine.—Nothing has yet equalled the efficacy of these balsamic pills in checking disease in, and restoring vigour to, the human body. They root out all impurities from the blood and regulate and invigorate every organ. Immense care is taken to secure the genuine preparation to the public that no disappointment may be caused to all seeking health by Holloway's pills. Their compositio❑ and careful packing prevent the impairment of their vir tues by time, sea, voyage, or climate ; they never gripe or cause inconvenience. In disturbances of the system, dis orders of the digestive apparatus, and derangements of the bowels, these pills exercise an almost magical power, which conquers diseases safely, quickly, conveniently, and cheaply. )mporary has the following :—Before lies yielded to Mr. Scndamore's wooing terly over tho probable sufferings of aph companies should bo no more. That throughout the United Kingdom did not seem to care, but ungratefully petitioned Parliament in favour of the Government bill, was one of those things which no director could understand. Nevertheless, the provincial . newspapers appear to be still cheerful and resigned. As the' companies upon whom they aro dependent for late news will soon bo purchased out of existence, and the Government will not, of course, act as news collectors, the provincial journals of the three kingdoms have formed a strong organisation for their own supply of news, relying on the Post-office oLly for its transmission. This is a very natural and, from a public point of view, a very desirable arrangement. There are many obvious reasons why the collection and trans mission of commercial and political news should not be dependent upon individuals or upon companies working for a profit. We see that the company now being formed is based upon the co operative principle, and that the shareholders will take nothing by way of dividend, but will benefit, if at all, by a reduction in the rates or an improvement in the quality of the news supplied to them. This provision should give to the Press Association an influence and weight which otherwise it could hardly hope for; and the fact that its members be long to all parties in politics, and that it has no private lute rents to serve in:the news it will transmit, must be an addi tional public security. CENTRAL CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE A meeting of the Central Chamber of Agriculture was held at the Salisbury Hotel, Fleet-street, London, on Tues• day. In the absence of Mr. Jasper Moor, the pre siC.en t, the chair was taken by Mr. Read, M.P. Amcngst the delegates present were—Mr. E. W. Moore, Farringdon Chamber; Captain P. G. Craigle, North Riding of York. shire Chamber ; Mr. Wall, Worcestershire Chamber ; Mr. John Ford, Warwickshire Chamber ; Mr. Abbs, Sunderland Chamber ; Mr. Read, Norfolk Chamber ; Mr. Rigby, Cheshire Chamber; Mr. Chandler, Wiltshire Cham. ber; Mr. H. Andrews, Somersetshire Chamber; Mr Straton, jun., Monmouthshire Chamber ; Sir Mordaunt Wells, Peterborough Chamber ; Mr. Pell, Northampton Chamber ; Mr. Lattimore, Hertford Chamber; and Mr. Wilson, member of the council of the Central Chamber. The preliminary business of the meting includel the election of Mr. J. Knowles, of Taunton, as a member of the council, the passing of a vote of thanks to Mr. Wilson for his services in connection with the meeting of the Chamber at Leicester during the week of the Royal Agricultural Society's show, and the appointment of the next council meeting for the Tuesday in the Smithfield week. A suggestion made at a meeting of the Newton Abbott Chamber, Devonshire, to the effect that members of any chamber visiting other towns should be admitted to the meetings of chambers held in the places so visited, but without the liberty to vote, was fully approved, on the motion of Captain Craigie, seconded by Mr. Byron. Provincial chambers having been invited to send in to the secretary subjects for discussion at the meetings for the ensuing year, the Secretary read a lengthy manifesto addressed to members of chambers,embodying the resolutions which have been passed by the council at various times upon questions such as the Foreign Cattle MI rket Pi 1, lo_ al taxation, county financial boards, rural education, evil 1 )ymeet ( f women and children, the game laws, talent-right, wh'o'a have been, or are likely to be, before Parliament. Tee formal adoption of the address having been moved : n 1 seconded, the meeting proceeded to the discussion of its component parts. In reference to the introduction, which dealt with the necessity of members of provincial cham bers using every effort to ascertain the views of parliamen tary candidates upon subjects of importance to agriculture, it was stated by Mr. ALbs that the Sunderland Chamber had addressed a number of pointed questions to the can didates of the district.—Mr. Moore, Farris. g lon Chamber, was of opinion that, while it was a matter of imperative necessity that the various provincial chambers should unite for the purpose of protecting and advancing the interests of agriculture, it would be unwise for them to become merely political associations. Mr. Andrews (Somersetshire Chamber) proposed that the address should by supplemented by certain questions to be laid before par liamentary candidates. He moved, as a rider to the address, " That, without attempting to pledge gentlemen who are candidates for seats in Parliament, or to unduly interfere in elections, this council submits that the following ques tions may fairly be asked. Local chambers may add others at their own discretio), but the important subjects to which these questions refer are before Parliament and the country, and the poor-rate assessment question underlies many others :-1. Are you disposed to vote for a Foreign Cattle Market Bill, well calculated to prevent, as far as possible, the reintroduction of the cattle plague and other contagious diseases? 2. Sul j )ct to such exemp tions at the Lottom of the scale of income as P: rliameet may determine, are you prepared to support a bill for the assessment of all income to a common fund for England and Wales for the relief of the poor, and for the other purposes to which the money now rased by the p)or-rate assessment is applied, and thereby remove the unfair exemption of income arising from personal property? 3. Will you support a bill for county financial boards, in which the elective principle and representatit n of the ratepapers is fairly adopted ?"—The resolution found a seconder in the person of Mr. Russell (Worcestershire Chamber), an 1 was supported by Mr. Ford, who state 1 that the Warwickshire Chamber had adopted a series of elm )st similar ertestioes. The North Riding Chembe-, it was announced by Captain Craigie, had last Saturday considered the questions brought forward by Mr. Andrews, and had agreed to sup. port the first and third, but for the second La 1 substi tuted the following :—" Are ,Feu prepared to support a parliamentary inquiry as to the unfairness of the exemption from local taxation of income arising from personal property?"—Mr. Clarke, the secretary of the Central Chamber, strongly deprecated turning the address into a mere categorical document. —Mr. Latti. n.o.:e (Hertford Chamber) was of opinion that if it were decided that fixed questions should be issued, they should be very carefully considered by a committee specially ap pointed for the purpose.—Sir M. Wells deemed the adoption of any precise set of questions to be asked of candidates would be highly injudicic u —The Chairman also held the view that it would be detrimental to the interests of the chamber to agree towany string of inquiries. Each chamber would have its own subjects of special import. ante.—After some urther discussion, the adoption of the introduction to the address was unanimously carried.. The rider of Mr. Andrews was negatived by 15 to 6. When the body of the address came to be discussed, it was urged that the term "equitable system of tenant. right," which was employed, might lead to some miscon. ception, and should be substituted for another; and, at the suggestion of the chairman, " a system of compensation for exhausted capital," was the one selected. The remainder of the manifesto was then adopted, and resolutions passed to the effect that twenty-five copies should be sent to each chamber or branch chamber, and two copies to each member of the Central Chamber ; and that provincial chambers should be requested to circllate the address by placing the same in the hands of all par liamentary candidates and other means. A proposition that the Central Chamber should recom. mend some systematic organisation of county chambers, to include the various parishes, broached by Mr. Andrews (Somersetshire Chambei ), met with little support, but it was arranged that the secretary should call the attention of kericultuists in the provinces to the importance of giving in their ad. hesion to the chambers in their neighbourhoods, or of establishing chambers where none at present exist, and should form a list of (o: respondents in every poor-law union. This brought the e ,Ling to a close. The Belgian Tir National was opened on Sunday without ceremony, and on Monday the firing points were crowded all day. About 100 British volunteer riflemen had arrived. The fetes in celeLration of the thirty-eighth anni versary of the National Independence commence ou Wed• nesday, and will be continued till Saturday, but a gloom is cast over all the proceedings, and the preparations are made in a half-hearted way in consequence of the prccarioui of health of the Duke do Brabant. THE ECLIPSE IN IN D/A.. —Men jug to the eclipse, the Mitrodaya (a vernacular Bombay paper) says "The scene in the native town was curious. Alen and women in their half barbaric and 'shabby dress were to be seen going from one temple to another to pray the deity to go to the help of the luminary of the day in his duel with the headless giant, Rahn.' The hallalcores, who are the dregs of the native olnn.ua received charities of gold and silver, copper, and clothes of various kinds, The ignorant thought that the e sweepers had the efficacy of freeing the sun from this torment. MR. JOIIN BRIGHT CLAIMING A VOTE. — Mr. John Bright attended, a day or two back, the county registration court held at Rochdale, before Mr. Cole, revising barrister, to make a reclaim for property, for votes for himself and his brothers, Mr. Jacob and Mr.' Thomas Bright. In consequence of the extension of the borough, the Messrs. Bright were obliged to put in a new claim in order to reclaim their county votes, but the pro. ceeding before the barrister was a mere matter of form. As Mr. Bright entered the court he was applauded, rmd the same compliment was paid to hid a he left, throughout the world. FURNISHED HOUSES, from £2 2s. to £2O per Week.-9. S.
