THE MEDITERRANEAN.

(FROM Orli OWN CORRDIPONDENT.)
MALTA, Nov. 14,
There is nothing to record in the way of naval
movements or intelligence, except the arrival yesterday
ravening of her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Com-
mander Bowden, from Deptford and Gibraltar, with
stores and provisions for the dock and victualling-yards.
She encountered rather stormy weather, and took nix-
teen days in performing the voyage out.
Rear-Admiral H. Kellett, C. 8., superintendent of her
Majesty's dockyard at this island, is about to be relieved,
as he stands first on the list for promotion to the rank of
vice-admiral. It is currently reported here that Rear-
Admiral E. Ommanney will most likely succeed Admiral
Kellett.

Telegraphic communication between Malta and Alexan-
dria is still interrupted, to the serious detriment of com-
mercial interests. The telegraph steamer Hawk i■ at
work in the vicinity of Tripoli repairing the faulty portion
of the cable.

The English ships-of-war in port are the Caledonia, 35,
flag ship of Vice-Admiral Lord C. Paget ; the Enterprise,
5 (both iron-clads) ; and the despatch moil Psyche.
The Hon. R. C. Legh, auditor-general In Malta, and Cap-
tain W. A. Atcherley, 2nd battalion Bth Foot, returned to
this island this morning from Marseilles. Colonel 11. P.
Goodenough, 11. A., just appointed colonel on the staff in
command of the artillery force in Malta, is expected here
in the early part of next month. Colonel R. C. Romer is
now in temporary command of the force.
In cowennenoe of the cessation of the cholera, aTe
Deum will be sung to-morrow in all the Roman catholic
church.. of Oz. udand.

MASSOWA H.—A suggestion was made yesterday
in the House of Commons, that instead ofaending an army
to fight Theodorus, we abould seize Massowah or some
other part of Abyssinia, and bold it until the captives are
released. It appears, however, from the blue-book that
Massowali is claimed by the Egyptian government, which
has despatched a force thither, and although it is doubtful
whether the claim can be substantiated, it is certain that
Theodorus would uo more care for our seizing Massowah,
provided we did not make the base of it our advance, than
if we seized one of the Sandwich Islands.
We hear that Mr. H. F. Blandford, of the Indian
geological survey, will accompany the Abyssinian expedi-
tion as geologist, and that hie instructions are to search for
traces of coal.—Calcutta End wham'', Oct. Z.
The Indian police is undergoing recision. Under
the new formation it will be deprived of its semi-military
character, and will consist of a body of oonstabulaiy with
a reserve of military police. This measure proceeds from
a suggestion of Mr. John Strachey, chief commissioner of
Oudh.—Cairu (to Nuolishman. Oct. ti.
We are requested to state that Messrs. J. J.
Merriman and J. Baxter Langley have resigned all con-
nexion will the Reform League.
The Greenwich Hospital pension of 110?. a rear,
vacant by the death of Retired Paymaster Edmund grown,
on the lit bust , is granted from that date to Retired Pay-
master Thomas J. Tilby.
We learn from the Owl that Oxford, who was
convicted many years ago for firing at her Me jesty, has
recently been released from Broadmnor, the priaon for
criminal lunatics. He is, however, never to be larinittiAl
to reside in Great Britain.
