London 55, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, W. 64, Ludgate-hill, E. 0., Liverpool 134, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. FIRE ON BOARD A PETROLEUM SIIIP.—An American vessel of 566 tons burden, the Blanche Howe, lying in one of the docks at Marseilles, suddenly burst into flames on Monday morning, September 7. She had ar rived from New York on the 12th of August with 9,000 barrels of petroleum, which she had unloaded, and was taking in a return cargo of lead, wine, &c., when the at tention of the crew was attracted by the increasing smell of the mineral oil left in the hold by the leakage of the casks. A man was sent down to examine the state of affairs when the vapour ignited at the light he carried, and the fire was almost instantly communica tod to several parts of the ship. The hatches wore immediately closed, and the vessel towed to the entrance of the port. The fire brigade at once wont to work, but three hours elapsed before the conflagration could be got under. . c PILICE.... ..d. STAMPED 53. NAVIL. AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Sept. 17.—Her Majesty's steam sloop Antelope arrived from Corfu on the 11th with de spatches, mails, invalids, an I 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 resnme 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 sail to be, 6 to send to the right about'—to a Spanish ship which had 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 fever existed at the port of load ing. Immediately after her arrival the Beard 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 Joveu 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 coining direct to Malta and remain ing a week or so in quarantine here ? And if the Palma bad come direct, could not she have per formed her quarantine in Malta, and must she per force be turned away ?" The Russian frigate Alexander Newaky, 51, Capt. Kremer, left Plymouth Sound on Monday morning for St. Petersburg. Prior to her departure his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alex's, 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. The armour-plated screw steam corvette Pallas, 6, Capt. Edward H. G. Lambert, at Plymouth, received her powder on Monday, and is new 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 strictly prohibited, and any man found with a Luci fer match in his possession will be instantly dis 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 uushipping 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 officers 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.

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 acquired 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 pointad out that few countries have climates adapted to the vino, and that its cultivators can reasonably expect a more c2.rtain return than from other agricultural opratiens. A great desire is expressed in California for au organized effort to establish central wine factories for buying grapes and making wino, and for disseminating information abroad on the inducements offered by that State."

An evening contemporary has the following:—Before the telegraph companies yielded to Mr. Scudamore's wooing they lamented bitterly over the probable sufferings of the press when telegraph companies should be no more. That provincial newspapers 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 are dependent for late news will soon be 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 only 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 pr:uciplo, 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 inte 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 president, the chair was taken by Mr. Read, M.P. Anicngst the delegates present were—Mr. E. W. Moore, Farringdon Chamber; Captain P. G. Cr:A'gle, Ncrth 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 me :ling included 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 Merket Pi 1, :0:1.1 tcxatron, county financial boards, rural education, cm' 1 .ymeet of women and children, the game laws, t,nant-r:gbt, wh ca have been, or are likely to be, before Parliament. Toe formal adoption of the address having been moved t.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 t) agriculture, it was stated by Mr. Abbs that the Sunderland Chamber had addressed a number of pointed questions to the can didates of the district.—Mr. Moore, Farriug 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 discretion, 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 Lottorn of the scale of income as P: rli:tment 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 1-a's:a 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 representation of the ratepapers is fairly adopted The resolution found a seconder in the person of Mr. Russell (Worcestershire Chamber), en 1 was supported by Mr. Ford, who state 1 that the Warwickshire Chamber had adopted a series of aim ist similar questions. no North Riding Chembe e it was announced by Captain Craigie, had last SaturCay considered the questions brought forward by Mr. Andrews, and had agreed to sup port the first and third, but hr ti e second 1 a 1 substi tuted the following Are y( u prepared to support a parliamentary inquiry as to the unfairness of the exemption from local taxation of iivome arising from personal property? '— Mr. Clarke, th,.. secretary of the Central Chamber, strongly deprecated turning the address into a mere categorical document. —Mr. Latti- Iscre (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 injuilici( U 3. The Chairman also held the view that it would be detrimental to the interests of the chamber to agree to any string of inquiries. Each chamber would have its own subjects of special import. ance.—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, "asystem 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 Chamhee ; and that provincial chambers should be requested to eircalate 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 Cl'amlysa ), met with little support, but it was arranged that the secretary should call the attention of kr:cultu ists 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 correspondents in every poor-law union. This brought the t e king to a c: ,3e. The Belgian Tir National was opened on Sunday without ceremony, and on Monday the firing points wore crowded all day. About 100 British volunteer riflemen had arrived. The fetes in celehration of the thirty-eighth anni versary of the National Independence commence on Wed nesday, and will be cottinaed 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 prnarioui sta o of health of the Duke do Brabant. THE ECLIPSE IN IN DIA. —Referring to the eclipse, the 3/ itrocla ya (a vernacular Bombay paper) says : "The scene in the native town was curious. Men 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.' Tl:e hallalcores, who are the dregs of the native oninualy, reccivad c:ntrities of gold and silver, copper, and clothes of various kinds, The ignorant thought that the c sweepers had the efficacy of freeing the sun from this torment. MIL JOHN 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 btrough, 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 applanded, aud Plc same CmPlimentlYas Pai4 M h 4 left, ~.GG~
