Naval and Military Intelligence,

MALTA, July 4.—Her Majesty's ship Pelican arrived
from Tunis on June 27th, followed on the 29th by her Ma-
jesty's ship Cossack, and on July let by her Majesty's ship
Royal Oak. Her Majesty's ship Liffey returned on the 27th
of June from a cruise of exercise in the Malta Channel.

Her Majesty's ship 3lagicienne arrived on July Ist from
Tripoli, Gerbi, and Ghabes, bringing Col. Herman, her
Britannic Majesty'sConsnl-General at the first-nu,ed port,
accompanied by Mrs. Berman. Her Majesty's ship Cossack
left for the coast of Syria on tho 2d July. Admiral Wil-
liams and his two sons left Malta on June 27th in the Fe-

ninsular and Oriental Company's packet Syria for Gibral-
tal and Southampton. Lieutenant Bogher, flag lieutenant
to Vice• Admiral Smart, the Commander-in-et:id in the
Mediterranean, returned to Malta from England in the
Penitsular and Oriental Company's packet Poonah from

Southampton on the 29:h of June, and resumed his duties
on board her IL,jesty's ship Marlborough. Paymaster

Choun, R.N„ was a passecger on board the same steam
packet for Alexandria en route fur China. The Egyptian

screw steam frigate Ibrahimia arrived at Malta from Alex
andria on June 27th, having on board their ExcAlencics
Selim Praha, Ibrahim Pasha, and M. Princeteau, generals

of brigade in the Egyptian army, attended by their respec-
tive aides-de-camp, on their way to Marseilles, to be pre-
sent at the military spectacles on the occasion of the Napo-
leon Festival on the 15th of August. The frigate proceeded
to her destination, after replenishing fuel, early on the fol-
lowing morning.

Her Majesty's ship Racoon still remains in the Firth of
Forth, moored off Inchc on which island the crew are

at present encamped. No new case of sickness having
broken out during the week, it is thought likely that the

camp may be broken up in about a week, and that the vessel
will proceed on her cruise to Norway. Meantime the Aurora,
Capt. Sir L. M'Clintock, has arrived in the Forth. for the
_ _ .

purpcso of taking Prince Alfred on board, and it is ex-
pected that the two ships will rendezvous in a few weeks
at Froyen, on the coast of Norway, and that the Prince

will proceed thither to his former vessel.

The new ironcased ship Zealous, 20, 37,716 tons, which

left Pembroke at 8 on Saturday morning, arrived in Ply-
mouth Sound at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, Her esc irt,
the paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, Commander Arthur
A. Thrupp, left at 6 on Saturday and arrived at 11 50 on
Sunday.

The speed of the Zealous, which is suppliet] with

Maudslay's engines of 800 horsA power, has excited great

admiration, she having made ten knots while the Geyser
was making eight knots. When the Geyser was entering

Plymouth Sound near Peale. Point she observed the brig
Bonquer, of Sunderland, in collision with the schooner
Speedy, of Waterford, from Talblt, with coal. The Speedy
was struck just abaft the main rigging, on the starboard

site, and lost her foremost, Tha Geyser took her crew in
tow, but the wind being very strong from E.N.E. (force, 6
to 8), the warp broke, and another,warp was fastened,with
which she was towed as far as the Itead Buoy on the new

ground, where she suuk in six fathoms. A midshipman,
Mr Ellis, and three of the Geyser's crew had to jump over-

board to save their lives. The brig has lost her jibboom.
All the crew of the schooner took refuge on board the brig
immediately after the collision.

The Clio, .52, steam corvette, 1,472 tons, 400 horse power,
was commissioned by Capt. N. E. B. Turnour, on Wed-
nesday last. The officers have bean appointed and have
joined the vessel, which is shortly to relieve the Charybdis,
in the Pacific, Capt. E. W. Tumour.

reinforce the Royal Artillery serving in the Bengal Presi-

vessel was inspected prior to the embarcation of the troops
by Major General Eyre and Staff, and the excellence of the
arrangements for the ccmfort of both officers and men dur •
ing the voyage elicited very favourable comments. The
embarcation of the troops was effected by an early hour in
the afternoon under the superintendence of Brigade Major
Congreve, from Chatham, and Capt. Cow, who represented
the Hon. Council for India, and the Conflict is expected to
leave the Thames to-day.

total 493 non-ocmmissioned officers and troops, 150 women,
and 60 children. The arrangements on board for the ac-
commodation of the officers and troops during the voyage
are of a very complete character, and previous to the embar-
kation on Saturday the Agamemnon was inspected by
Major-General H. Eyre. The troops embarked under the
suderintendence of Brigade-Major Congreve and the officers
of the Staff from Chatham garrison. The Agamemnon got
under way yesterday, with a fair wind from the eastward,
which would soon take her clear off the Channel. The
chartered troopships Middlesex and Michael Scott, both of
which have been taken up by the Hon. Council of India for
thelconveyance of reinforcements to India, will embark up-

volume of the "Life of Caesar," which was in print, has
been destroyed, owing to the recent discoveries, which
render the re-writing of some of the parts necessary-

The Epoca of Madrid says :—" It is certain that
the Government of the United States, after having
taken cognizance of the communication of the
Spanish representative, and especially of the de-
spatch of our Foreign Affairs relative to Pern, has
advised this latter Government to give the explana-
tions asked for. Toe same Power has also offered,
as has the Government of Brezil, its good offices
for the se:tlement of she misunderstanding. we
are indebted to it for this proceeding."

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of L 3
17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appea,rs that gold is
rather more than 1-ltth per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrlin4.
taudard gold at the English 3lint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 222 per cent., and the premium on
gold is IC2 per cent. At these rates there is a prat on the
importation of gold from the United States.

LINEAL DESCENDANT OF OLD KING COLE.--It
seems, says the Flaneur in the Star, that there is no lawn
in the Horticultural Gardens set apart for croquet. The
story goes that a deputation of young ladies waited upon
Mr Cole and begged bard for a croquet ground, but Mr
Cola told them that the gardens were intended far the ad-
vancement of horticulture, not of husbandry. If the C.B.
did say this it is a great chalk in his favour, and is the first
thing he has done to proNe his descent from the legal Cole
Of jovial memory.
