NAVAL 1N TELLIGEN CE.

MALTA SEPT. 24.—Yesterday the Triton arrived
from Corfu, bringing the large amount of 73 invalids
from the lonian Islands, under command of Captain
Smith, 30th Regiment. She had also 12 prisoners,
seven of whom were under sentence of transportation,
and five to be dismissed with ignominy.
Sickness of. a. fatal nature prevails, and numbers
die daily—principally of smallpox and malignant
fever, the latter carrying off its victim in 24 to 48
hours.

The lonian Assembly had been dissolved, to meet
again in 1854. I inclose you the Lord High Com-
missioner's speech, by which you will gain a clear
insight into the cause. Sir H. Ward himself had left
Corfu for Constantinople, and would not return before
the 29th proximo.

Mr. Stafford had arrived at Corfu by the Fury on
the Bth, and on the 10th had left for England by
Trieste.

The Modesto had reached Corfu from Athens, and,
with the Scourge steam-frigate, was lying there when
the Triton left.

The Peninsula and Oriental Company's steamer
Madras arrived this morning from the Levant.
The fallowing diary of the movements of the fleet is
not generally known here :-
9th. The Tiger, from Malta, joined the fleet.
14th. After a succession of calms, and when off
Falconera, the Britannia and the Albion were taken
in tow by the Firebrand; the Bellerophon and the
Trafalgar by the Tiger ; the Vengeance and the
Phaeton were unassisted by steam.
15th. The Fury, detached on the 7th for Corfu,
rejoined, and was immediately sent off to Athens.
17th. Came to anchor in Voulah-bay, having been
towed about 300 miles. Found a Turkish frigate, with
Admiral Slade's flag, two brigs, and a schooner. Sa-
lutes exchanged.

19th. The Fury rejoined, from Athens, and shortly
after the Vengeance and the Phaeton.
20th. The Tiger has been detached to the Greek
islands, and will be absent three or four days.
Admiral Dundas and all the captains visited
Admiral Slade yesterday. His Turkish title is
Muchaver Pasha.

We shall remain till about the 27th, when we shall
leave for Athens, thence to Corfu, and about the
middle of November shall reach Malta.

A Russian brig, the Orpheus, from Athens, reached
port this morning.
The Sampson steam-frigate, last from Malaga,
arrived also this morning, and will proceed to-
morrow to join the Admiral, carrying dispatches.
The Resistance troop-ship, with Captain Good-
enough's Company of Royal Artillery, to relieve that
of Captain Ommanney here, also arrived yesterday.
A few days ago the non-commissioned officers of
Major Shone's company, who on their arrival in Malta
received some attentions from those of Captain Oai-
manney's company, entertained them to dinner as a
requital in some respects, and in proof of the cordi-
ality and good feeling that has existed between them.
The evening passed off with every demonstration of
kindly feeling and in the most agreeable manner.
Captain Brandling, Adjutant of the 'Royal Hone
Artillery, and Lieut. A. King are among the passen-
gers by the Resistance, having obtained sick leave of
absence.

SUNSET.—The Medina, with the India mails, has
not been signalised up to the moment of sunfire. She
is quite due.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29.—The Medina, with Indian
Mail, expected since the 24th, only arrived at 4} A.M.
The only matter of interest since my last is an act
of high police exercised by the Governor, supposed
to have acted in this instance under the influence of
the Austrian and Naples Consuls ; it is no less than
the ordering Mr. A. Lemny, late secretary to Kos-
suth, to leave the island within fifteen days. The
Governor has refused to give any reason, so that be-
yond a surmise that it is owing to Lemny having
published a book in which he has been reviewing the
state of the Continent as regards the elements of
revolution in Europe, nothing is known. The power
to send away foreigners, without assigning any mo-
tive, rests in Government by an Act of 1843, and
was largely availed of during the reign
O'Ferrall, but it is painful to see is resorted to by
Colonel Read. of More
The Spitfire screw steam-ship has just made her
number. She is coming in from the west.

The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain James Hope;
C.B , is to be paid off at this port on Saturday next.
She is at present in the river, having her paddle floats
and the outer rim of the paddle wheels taken off, pre-
vious to her being taken into the basin to have a
thorough refit before she again proceeds to sea.
The Blazer steam-vessel was taken down the river
on Friday last from Deptford to Woolwich, and the
Monkey steam-vessel left Woolwich this afternoon
with the Blazer in tow for Sheerness, where the
Blazer will be taken in charge of by Mr. Aylen, master-
attendant at that port, and he will proceed with the
Cyclops steam-frigate and her to the Clyde, as the
Blazer is to receive on board the machinery of the
engines of 780-horse power, made by Napier for the
Duke of Wellington, 140, screw ,steam'''hiP, late the
Windsor Castle. The Cyclops and Blazer will bring
the engines in pieces, and they will be put on board
the Duke of Wellington at Portsmouth,

REMOVAL OF NUISANCES.
The following circular has been issued by the Poor-
law Board :
" Sir,—The Poor-law Board are desirous of direct-
ing the attention of the guardians to the provisions
contained in the statutes for the removal of nuisances
and the prevention of disease (11th and 12th Victoria,
chap. 123, and 12th and lath Victoria, chap. 111), so
far as they relate to the powers and duties of the
guardians and their officers.
" The recurrence of the disease of Asiatic cholera
in an epidemic form in some parts of the continent,
though not sufficient to cause immediate alarm in this
country, is nevertheless calculated to require a rea-
sonable amount of care and vigilance on the part of all
those public functionaries to whom the law has en-
trusted authority with reference to sanitary measures
for the prevention of disease.
" The guardians will remember the duties which
have been imposed upon them by the former statute
in respect to complaints made to them of nuisances
upon private premises. Under this statute they can
only act when complaints are made to them by indi-
vidual householders, and have no power to commence
any proceedings. By the latter Act (12th and 13th
Victoria, chap. 111), the guardians are enabled to
take measures for the removal of nuisances in private
houses or premises upon a certificate of their existence
from their medical or relieving officer.
" It therefore.appears to the board to be advisable
that the guardians should communicate to those offi-
cers their desire that they should direot their imme-
diate attention to this subject, so that, when in the
discharge of the duties of their respective offices, they
perceive that any nuisance exist, of the class and de-
scription to which these statutes relate, these officers
may certify the same to the guardians.
The board, however, consider it most important
that the attention of these officers should not be di-
vertedi,t,hm To
