Naval and Military-Intelligence.
VALETTA, March 10.—" The Cossack, 20, Lieut.
G. Borlase (in charge), left on the 4th inst. for the
lonian Islands, and the Psyche, despatch vessel,
Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, left on the 6th for
Naples. The latter ship has on board the Bishop of
Gibraltar, who is about to consecrate the new Eng-
lish church there. His Lordship is accompanied by
the Venerable Archdeacon Cleugh. The Magicienne,
16, Capt. W. Armytage, is expected from the lonian
Islands, and the Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. Fortescue,
from the Coast of Syria, other ships having
been sent to replace them. The Pelican, 17,
Commander H. B. Comber, and the Wanderer,
4, Commander M. C. Seymour, are under re-
pair. The latter is to go to Athens. Prince
Arthur, after being detained at Marseilles by
the weather, left on. the sth instant, in the
Enchantress, for Naples ; and a private telegram
informs us of his arrive there on_the 6th inst., and
of his expected departure thence in two days for
Syracuse. The Italian sailing corvettes Eurydice,
18, Capt. Cavaliere V. Casselli, and Valoroso, 8,
Capt. Cavaliere A. Cappellini, arrived on Sunday
afternoon from Gibraltar on a voyage of instruc-
tion. On entering the port they saluted the garri-
son, and on the following morning the salutes were
duly returned. The Austrian steam corvette Graf
Doudolo, Capt. G. Nauta, left Malta harbour on
the 6th for Mexico, to relieve the Novaro. The
two Prussian brigs Musquito and Rove, are still
here awaiting instructions. The Royal Thames
Yacht Club schooner Sylph, T. Fookes, master,
arrived on the Bth inst. from Falmouth and Gibral-
tar. She left the former port on the 20th, and the
latter on the 28th ult. The Royal Yacht Squadron
schooner Zoe, E. Rice, master, arrived here on the
following day, having left Southampton on the 20th
ult., and Gibraltar on the Ist inst. She has on
board Capt. and Mrs. Mane. Cable 26 miles in
length is expected here in the Bellona steamer from
England about the 15th inst., when the Fanny Lam-
bert, having effected the repair of the Tripoli and
Benghazi section, and buoyed the ends of the Ben-
ghazi and the Alexandria section at the place of
fault, will return to Malta to take on board the
new piece, and proceed with it to complete the ne-
cessary repairs. The 2d battalion Royal Fusiliers
have received their orders for Canada, and will
probably leave about the end of May. Another
battalion will, it is rumoured, leave Malta this year
for Ceylon or the Mauritius, probably the 2d bat-
talion Bth or 2d battalion 22d, most likely the latter,
it having suffered much from ophthalmia, and it is
thought a change will prove beneficial to it. Capt.
Sherard Osborne, R.N., passed by Malta in the
last steamer from England on his way to India.
Col. Herman, Consul-General at Tripoli, has ar-
rived here from England on his return to his post.
The paddlewheel steamer Sheerness, 2, 114 horse
power, employed on harbour service between
Chatham and Sheerness, after having been fitted
with new boilers and the new Lumley's steering
apparatus, was taken to the trial ground at Maplin
Sands for the purpose of testing her speed and steer-
ing qualities. The result as to speed was satisfac-
tory, the vessel making an average of nine knots per
hour. It was, however, to the trials made to test
her steering capabilities that the greatest interest
was attached, as testing the value of the Lumley
rudder. The Sheerness made the complete circle in
an average of 2 rain. 40 sec., while with the paddle-
wheels disconnected, and one working ahead and
the other astern, the full circle could not be made
under nine minutes.

A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on
board her Majesty's ship Formidable, 84, flagship
of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Comman-
der-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Sub-lieut.
Harry Lefevre Ryder, of her Majesty's screw frigate
Phaeton, 39, 400-horse power, Capt. G. L. Bow-
year, on a charge of having, on or about Sept. 23,
1864, twice struck Mr. J. C. Larcome, carpenter
of the said ship, and also with having, on or about
Dec. 23, 1864, struck Mr. G. L. L. Coste, midship-
man of the same ship. The Court was composed
of Capt. J. Fulford, of the Formidable, president ;
Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., Cumberland, 70 ; Capt.
the Hon. G. D. Keane, additional, of the Cumber-
land ; Commander F. H. Stevens, Wellesley, 72 ;
and Commander L. Gussen, Formidable. The
prisoner, who was assisted by his "friend " Mr.
Hoskens, Admiralty solicitor, Portsmouth, pleaded
" Not Guilty " to both charges. Mr. G. H. Knight,
of the firm of Essen, Knight, and Arnold, Crown
solicitors, Rochester, officiated as Deputy Judge-
Advocate, and conducted the prosecution. On the
part of the prosecution nine witnesses were examined,
the prisoner afterwards putting in a written defence,
in which he urged that the blows alleged to have
been struck were inflicted at the time the parties
were all " larking " with each other. He also
handed in a number of certificates of character.
The Court, after deliberating for a short time, con-
sidered both charges fully proven, and adjudged the
prisoner to forfeit one year's seniority, and to be
severely reprimanded.

Orders have been received at Chatham directing
the depot of the 81st Regiment to move from that
garrison to Gosport on Saturday next, to join the
service companies of the regiment on their arrival
from India.

The troops whose arrival we announced yesterday
in the troop ship Orontes, Capt. H. W. Hire, com-
menced their disembarcation at Portsmouth in the
morning. Those of the Royal Engineers, under the
command of Lieut. Lloyd, landed at the dockyard,
and proceeded by rail to join head-quarters at
Chatham. The head-quarters of the Royal Artillery,
under the command of Col. Graham, were landed
by Government steamers at the Royal Clarence-
yard and marched to the different forts at Gosport.
A few men of the late St. Helena Regiment were
landed at the dock, having volunteered.to join the
22d, 52d, and 64th Regiments, while the officers and
rest of the men remained on board, and will land this
morning and be forwarded to the depot battalion at
Winchester. The military invalids were removed to
Netley Hospital bythe Sprightly, steam tender, Mas-
ter Commander Allen, under the charge of Lieut. Ar-
rowsmith and Dr. Roche. The Orontes only requires
her bottom to be cleaned and a few defects made
good when she will be ready for further service.

and proceeded by two special trains to Manchester
and Chester, where they are to be quartered.
The depot of the 52d Regiment (Oxfordshire
Light Infantry), having been inspected by Major-
Gen. Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., will leave the
garrison at Chatham by special train on the South-
Eastern Railway this morning, and proceed to
Portsmouth, to join the service companies ofj the
regiment on their arrival from India. The 52d
Regiment embarked on the 30th of June, 1853, and
has consequently served nearly 12 years in India.
In the Indian mutiny it greatly distinguished itself,
the regiment, after being in numerous engagements
with the rebels, being one of these which was at the

The 25th company of Royal Engineers, under the
command of Lieut. E. F. S. Lloyd, arrived head-
quarters, Chatham, yesterday, from the Mauritius,
having disembarked at Portsmouth from the iron
steam troopship Orontes, 2, 2,812 tons, 500-horse

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN
J EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels
tr affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is ad-
mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it Prepared °my and sold by

about the same ; and the actual results obtained
being, therefore, so much in favour of the double
screw, the conclusion must be accepted that two
well submerged propellers, one on each quarter of a
vessel, and thus cutting their way solidly into the
water, must be far superior to either the best single
screw arrangement, or that of the paddlewheels. As
the twin screw thus gives speed superior to every
other form of a ship's propulsion through the water,
and also gives her a power of revolving on even her
own centre—a power that cannot be attained by any
other arrangement—Sir John flay and Mr. Stans-
feld may both find their ideas, as expressed by
them in the House of Commons on Monday even-
ing, perfected with regard to a war-ship's speed and

that and the neighbouring district& A teler
report in the American Cyclopedia, 74—1 .-tiers`to;
best 74—were producing daily 1,165 barrels,fgeh barrel' iz
holding about 32 English gallons, making the large amount
of 37,280 gallons a day. The chief town in this district is
Titusville, and when we got there we could see there was
something very strange going on. Nothing was heard of
but oil, the very children were malting erections by the
roadside and playing at boring for oil. Although at this
time the whole out-put of the district was, as far as I could
make out, under 60 casks a day. I may mention that this
distriet is reallkin the backwoods. The day I left Titus-.
vine I drovealong many miles of what was called a road,
which was nothing more than the trees cut down and rolled
to one side. The wells vary greatly—some give oil at the
depth of 60, others are over 500 feet. The oil boring is
like other mining operations, not certain of success. Two
liores may be near each other, the one giving oil, the other
none. Salt water commonly comet up with the oil ; it is
separated by standing in vessels, the oil floating on the top
of the watrr, and the water being drawn off from below.
Sometimes when oil is struck it comes rushing out with
great violence, as if it was thrown up by compressed gas.
In one well near Tideoute, it is said that a workman was
knocked over by the jet of oil, which was thrown through
the derrick and into the tree around; and in one case the
whole matter caught fire, producing very serious conse-
quences. Other parts of America have produced oil, such
as Ohio, Western Virginia. A considerable quantity has
been found in Canada, and from the excitable nature of tho
business, and the success that has attended it, we may rest
assured that our American friends will look carefully after
it. Tho exports were—for 1861, 1,112,470 gallons ; for
1862, 10,887,000; for 1863, 28,000,000. The total product
for 1863 is estimated at 80,000,000 gallons. During the
time my petroleum work was going on, I started an
investigation with the prospect of procuring petroleum,
or a substance equivalent to it, from coal ; and after some
time succeeded. The process which I discovered
is exceedingly simple, and consists in the distillation of
coal, at the lowest temperature, at which it can be decom-
posed. By this process we obtain a mixture of several
liquids with paraffin° dissolved in them. This liquid I
named paraffins oil. In distilling coal at a high tempera-
ture, such as a bright red heat, we procure a heavy liquid
called coal tar, and a permanent gas--common coal gas. In
my process, I get no proper tar, but the greater part of the
illuminating portion of the gas in a liquid state. In fact,
paraffine oil is the substance that would have become illu-
minating gas had the temperature to which the coal was
subjected been a bright red heat. With regard to lamp;
the earliest lamp that I am acquainted with for the burning
of hydro-carbon oils, and which performs that duty well,
is the lamp patented by a Mr. Young, which he named the
camphine lamp, and was used to burn purified oil of tur-
pentine, under the name of camphine. This lamp was pro-
duced in the argand and flat wick form ; and the lamps
still in use are but modifications of this lamp. The flat wick
gives from 20 to 30 per cent. more light from the same
quantity of oil than the argand round wick. The great
thing to be accomplished is to throw a current of air
againstthe flame, so that the oil may be completely burned.
With regard to light-giving qualities, this parffine oil is
by far the best sulastance yet known, onegallon of paraffin()
oil giving as much Light as 233 lb. of sperm candles, or 40
lb. of tallow candles, although a gallon of paraffin only
weighs 8} lb. The difference of light-giving power seems
great, but chemistry can explain this matter so far. In
animal or vegetable oils or fats, there isa considerabloquan-
tity of oxygen. This is equivalent to so much of the sub-
stance being already burned, as it is already combined with
oxygen. Now, if we consider that the oxygen in the sub-
stance is combined with the hydrogen, we have water to
evaporate, keeping down the temperature of the flame; and
as it is, understood that a light-giving flame is particles of
carbon heated to a high temperature, it is evident thatany-
thing, such as water, reduces the temperature of the flame,
must reduce the intensity of the light. On the other hand,
if we consider the oxygen to be combined with the carbon,
the product is carbonic acid. This substance, as is well
known, when mixed with gas, reduces greatly its illumi-
nating power. That paraffin candles do not give the light
that oil does seems impossible. A good deal has been said
in the public prints about the hydro-carbon oil, end this is
a subject deserving the greatest attention. The whole
matter seems to me to be very simple. Oils that give off
vapours at low temperatures should not be used for burn-
ing in ordinary lamps. If they were so, accidents, if they
can be called accidents, must certainly be the consequence;
no oil should be sold for common use that give off an ex-
plosive vapour under a temperature of 130 deg. Fehr. This
has been my rule, and the result is that in all my 15 or 16
years' experience, no one, as far as I know, has been in-
jured by an explosion of eny oil. In several cases dange-
rous oils have been used under the name of "Young's Pa-
tent Paraffins Oil," which occasioned accidents, and led to
investigation, but in each case the investigation showed
that other explosive compounds, and not Young's oil, was
the cause. The other day a fatal accident occurred. In
this case the inquest was held before we knew anythingi
about it, so wo bad no ono there to look after the matter;
and cannot tell whether the oil was ours or not. But from
what I see from the newspapers, it was proved at the in-
quest that the woman had the lamp at the fire, inside or
on the fender, and how the thing occurred seems not to be
known, as no one but herself was in the room, and no noise
or explosion was heard. An act was passed two years ago
to prevent the storing of more than 40 gallons of petro-
leum, or any product thereof that gave off explosive vapours
under a temperature of 100 deg. Fehr. This act is a dead
letter. It is well known that shiploads of such petroleum
are continually in our best harbours, and it is being sent
over the country in all directions and sold without com-
punction. I now propose that coals should be distilled
at a low temperature, and that the gaseous products
should be supplied at a very cheap rate for giving light
and heat, and supplying gas engines, and that the coke
should be used, as it is now, for making smokeless
fires, and that the paraffine oil be used for the fuel of
steamships—being liquid, it can be stored into out-of-the
way places, where nothing else can be put, and pumped
into the fire-place by the engine. By this means, the
whole staff of coal-trimmers, firemen and their accommo-
dation on board the ship would be saved, and the space
occupied by the coal made available for cabins or cargo.
(Applause.) A steamship in crossing the Atlantic con-
sumes 1,600 tons of coal in a ten days' voyage. The Ad-
miralty allowance for a ton of coal was 48 cubic. feet ; and
a ton of paraffine oil would go as far as a ton and a-half of
coal, and would only occupy 36 cubic feet, as against tho 72
cubic feet required for a ton and a-half of coal. The fire
would be regulated by merely turning a tap. I need not
enlarge hero on the immense advantage it would be to our
cities to have smokeless fires, nor need I insist on th
convenience of having a cheap light and a cheap heat
for cooking purposes, and a cheap power by means of
the gas-engine always at hand, and consuming nothing
when not in use, and which can instantly be put into
full operation, exciting more or less power as required,
by merely turning a handle ; and as there is no boiler
to burst, that danger would be done away with.
(Applause.)

PRINCE ALFRED A SCOTTISH KNIGHT.-Her
Majesty having been pleased to create Prince Alfred an
extra Knight of the Most Ancient Order of the Thistle,
the recognitions of his royal highness have now been corn_
pleted. Excepting the Sovereign, the Prince is the only
member of the royal family who has been admitted to the
distinction of the green riband and St. Andrew badge. we
have no doubt this appointment will be regarded with great
satisfaction by the people of Scotland, who will doubtless
recognise the youthful and gallant Prince as a worthy sue_
cossor to the late Prince Consort in the roll of Scottish
chivalry. It may also be recognised as an addition to the
many tokens of warm affection which her Majesty has ever
shown for the northern kingdom.-&otsman.
