VALETTA, Oct. 31.—The revolution in Greece
has somewhat changed the intentions of the Com-
mender...in-chief respecting the movements of that
portion of the Mediterranean feet whith was at the
time in the Adriatie. The Marlborough, 131
(bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F.
Martin, (.C.8.), Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., which
'vas expected at Malta, left Corfu on the 27th
for the Finns, to join the Queen, 76, Capt. F. C.
Hillyar, and the Pelican, 17, Commander P. Brock,
already there. King Otho left Athens on board her
Britannic Majesty's sloop Boyne, 22, Capt. R. Lam-
bert, and escorted by a French gunboat, arrived at
Corfu on the morning of the 27th. Salutes were ex-
changed, but his dethroned Majesty proceeded on to
Venice without landing. The Scylla was expected
back at Corfu after landing the ex-King on Austrian
territory. The Shannon, 35, Capt. 0. J. Jones, was
at Patras, and the Icarus, 11, Cora. Salmon, V.C., at
Santa Maura. The Trident, 3, Com. Balfour, was
expected at Corfu on the 27th, and was to convey
Sir H. Bulwer, who was expected from Trieste on
that day, to Alexandria. An officer of this ship, R.
M. Curry, master, was tried by court-martial on the
21st inst., on board the Queen, for drunkenness,
Capt. Hillyar presiding, and sentenced to be dis-
missed the Trident, placed at the bottom of the list
of masters, and severely reprimanded. Another
court-martial assembled on board the Queen, on the
following day, also under the presidency of Capt.
Hillyer, to try a private of marines, named Moun-
tier, of her Majesty's ship Shannon, on five charges
of insubordinate conduct. He was found guilty, and
adjudged to receive 48 lashes, and to be imprisoned
for two years with hard labour. The Alacrity, 4,
Corn. J. Baird, arrived from Corfu and Santa Maura
yesterday. The Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice, and
Amphion, 36, Capt. A. C. Gordon, have also arrived
from Corfu during the week. The Alacrity brought
as passengers Commander the Hon. A. Hobart (com-
manding the Foxhound), Mr. E. S. Wood, aide-de-
camp of Major-Gen. Wood; Capt. H. J. Holyoake,
Ist battalion 22d Regiment ; and Mr. J. C. Chap-
man. The Algiers had on board the following for
England—Mr. F. B. Henwood, R.N., Mr. R. M.
Curry, R.N., Mr. G. F. Trollope, R.N., Lieut. C.
M. Smythe, 9th Regiment, 7 serjeants, 6 corporals,
22 soldiers, 9 women, 22 children, and 2 servants.
The Algiers and Amphion are under orders to pro-
ceed home to be paid off; the former will prObably
leave on Monday, the 3d proximo, and the latter
to-morrow. The Neptune, 86, Capt. G. T. B.
Hornby, is on her way from Naples to Malta,
bound for England to be paid off, and the London,
68, Capt:ll. Chads, will also be ordered home shortly.
To replace these vessels we are expecting out here
the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. the Hon. T. Baillie ; the
St. George, 86 ; the Defence, 18, iron screw ship,
Capt. R. A. Powell, C.B. ; the. Phoebe, 51, Capt.
Fortescue ; and the Chanticleer, 17, Commander C.
Stirling. The Edgar, 90, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. F. A.
Foley, and the Liffey, 51, Capt. G. Parker, have
already joined the Mediterranean squadron, the
former having arrived here this morning and ex-
changed the usual salute, and the latter arrived at
Gibraltar, where she relieved the Malacca, 17, Capt.
G. J. Napier, which vessel is on her way to Malta.
The Wanderer, 4, Commander, M. C. Seymour,
after undergoing repairs and being fitted with Ord's
new apparatus for raising the screw at sea, left
Malta on Thursday last, on return to the coast of
Syria. The Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A.
Hobart, has also been fitted with a similar apparatus
the invention of Mr. Ord, foreman of fitters of this
dockyard, and is still under repairs. No further
news has been received of the Mars 80, Capt. J. N.
Strange, which had been ordered to Malta some
time ago from the coast of Syria, and was to have
been relieved by the Scylla, which vessel, however,
our Minister at Athens deemed proper to retain at
the Piraeus. ~..The Mars is short of provisions, but
no doubt steps wil; be immediately taken to supply
her with whatever she may be in want of. The
other ships on the coast of Syria are the Fire-
brand, 6, Commander Piers ; the Surprise, 4, Com-
mander W. H. Whyte; and the Firefly, surveying
ship, Commander Mansell.
Letters received yesterday from the North Ameri-
can squadron by our Chatham correspondent, an-
nounce the arrival at Fortress Monroe, on the 13th
ult., of her Majesty's screw sloop Peterel, 11, Com-
mander G. W. Watson, from Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The screw sloop Racer, 11, also arrived at
Fortress Monroe on the evening of the 13th of
Oct., from Baltimore, and left for Charlestown on
the following morning. The Racer would return to
Fortress Monroe in about a week, after which she
was to leave for England to be put out of commis-
sion. She was to call at Bermuda and Halifax on
her way home. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21,
400-horse power, Capt. J. F. Ross, was at anchor at
Fortress Monroe at the departure of the mail.

system, by order of his Highness, the Viceroy of
Egypt, were thoroughly tested at the Arsenal Batt,
Woolwich, and, having passed proof, they were
sighted in the Royal Gun Factories, and completed.
They have been despatched to Alexandria for the
service of the Egyptian Artillery. An additional
number of guns on the same principle were yester-
day fired at the Royal Arsenal Butt, with a heavy
charge of
powder and shot, having been purchased
by the Pasha on the usual conditions, and will be
completed in a similar manner.

VALETTA, OCT. 31.
The Prince of Wales, who is accompanying his
sister, the Princess of Prussia, and her Royal hus-
band, the Crown Prince of Prussia, on a Mediter-
ranean tour, unexpectedly arrived here early yes-
terday. morning from Tunis on board the Royal
yacht Osborne, escorted by her Majesty's frigate
Doris. The Royal party arrived at Palermo from
Marseilles, landed, and went up to Mount Reale.
Having asked Sir F. L. M'Clintock to accompany
Highnesses were
them to Tunis, the Doris escorted the Osborne to
that place, where their Royal
very well received by the Bey, and, after visiting
the ruins of Carthage, started for Malta to replenish
the yacht's fuel. When 175 miles to the westward
of the island the port paddle shaft gave way. The
Doris then took the yacht in tow, shortly after
which her Majesty's ship Edgar, bearing the flag
of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8.,
was sighted and
communicated an offer of assistance, which, how-
ever, was declined. The Osborne has been taken
in hand by the dockyard for the removal of the dis-
abled paddle, so as to allow one wheel to work with-
out the other, and it is intended she shall leave to-
morrow afternoon or early on Sunday morning for
Sicily and Naples, escorted, as before, by the Doris,
On arrival at Malta, the Governor, Sir Gaspard
Le Marchant, and his secretary, Mr. Munday, and
the Prussian Consul, Mr. Feiro, waited upon their
Royal Highnesses on board the yacht, and were
most courteously received ; but, as their Royal
Highnesses are travelling incognito, the firing of
salutes and other public manifestations of respect
were dispensed with. Soon afterwards the Royal
party landed, and took up their residence at the
Palace, which his excellency has given up for their
accommodation. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses
held r reception at the Palace, and will hold another
this evening. This afternoon they attended a
review of the troops in garrison, on the Flosiana
parade ground: The Prince of Wales and the Prince
of Prussia appeared in uniform, attended by the
officers of their respective suites. The Princess of
Prussia, who was looking remarkably well, and
has, I am informed, quite recovered her health, pro-
ceeded to the ground in Lady Le Marchant's
carriage.

(Royal Seal granted 17th July. 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the Colohr or the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tehaeity, dispensing with springs br
unsightly fastening's, and defying detection by tot closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to

act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed U. last a life

lower classes of fibre. When we reproached India
with sending us a poor quality of cotton, we should
remember that We had only given her a poor de-
mand; we had never been regular customers for the
better qualities; and when they were grown it always
happened that the natives found them unsuitable for
their purposes for spinning. India at. present was
almost without machinery. If the proceedings of
this company were considered slow, it must be re-
membered that they had to feel their way, in order
to be sure they sent out the kind of machinery that
was suited to the cleaning of indigenous cotton, the
only cotton that could be reckoned upon for two
or three years to come. He was san , uine that
the right kind of machinery had been selected.
The directors estimated the economy of labour
from the use of this machinery at about 5,400
hands per day, which he calculated to equal £45
per day'. He believed pressing in the interior to
be the only right course in order to prevent adul-
teration which was now taking place to a greater
degree than ever, because the temptation was
greater. This company sought only to do that
work which was now acknowledged to be so badly
done by others,—to buy from the grower, and
sell—for account of, when they received orders, or
otherwise sell—to the exporter, without the inter-
♦ention of any middlemen. They would guarantee
the quality of the bale to equal the sample
by which they sold. They had resolved not to
become exporters, and also, whenever they held
orders, to consider that these orders had a priority
for all the cotton they should buy over all' that
might be purchased; and, although they might be
obliged to become purchasers of cotton on their
own account for re-sale in Bombay, that cotton
should never be purchased for themselves while
they held an executable order. They wished to
execute the order to Bombay, and to have the
Bombay agent as a sort of check upon themselves.
(Hear, hear.)
The report was unanimously adopted; Mr. Fowler
and Mr. J. Heugh were re-elected .directors, and
Mr. D. D. Dynes was elected an additional direc-
tor.

Mr. Heugh stated that he had on the previous
day spent some time with one of the leading mer-
chants of Bombay, who, after careful examination,
informed him, to his surprise, that it was probable
by the end of December, 1863, there would be
2,000,000 bales of cotton received from India—as
much as would keep all the mills going, supposing
no cotton came from America.

consequently, doubt but that you will contribute
with zeal to maintain real public order, by which
alone the Greek nation, which has been so long op-
pressed, rose unanimously to reconquer her rights
until now trodden under foot. Long live the
country ! Long live the nation !"

Here follow the signatares.
A despatch from Munich, dated the 3d inst.,
announces that on that day a great family council
was to be held at the King's Palace, The council
was to decide whether it would be advisable for
King Otho to abdicate in favour of his brother
Luitpold. Prince Adalbert, the youngest brother,
has postponed his departure to Darmstadt to be
present at this council.

211 E BOMBAY MAIL.

The Overland Mail brings advices and papers
from Bombay to the 11th October. In the limes
of India and the Bombay Gazette we find the fol-
low:ng items of intelligence :
" The Governor General of India will remain in
Calcutta till about the end of the cold season, when
he will repair to Simla. There are rumours that
his stay in India will be short ; and it is bel;eved
that he is disgusted with the administration of Sir
C. Wood.
" The Commander in Chief of India has made
himself very notorious awl very unpopular in con-
nection with the affair of Col. Priestly. Colonel
Priestly communicated to his excellency some pri-
vate conversation held in the United Service Club
(Calcutta), in which Sir Hugh Rose was unfavour-
ably spoken of. The club called a special general
meeting to consider Col. Priestly's conduct. His
excellency issued a circular forbidding the military
officers from being present, from voting at the
meeting, and even from canvassing on the subject.
The club unanimously expelled Col. Priestly at a
special meeting held on the 25th of September, and
it is rumoured that they intend to call upon Sir
Hugh Rose to resign his position as president of the
club.

" The subscription to the Lancashire Relief Fund
is still going on. The total amount subscribed to
this date is about rs. 2,24,000 of which rs. 1,60,847
have been paid into the Oriental Bank. The sum
of £16,000 having been already previously remitted,
no remittance will be made by this mail.
" The arrival at Herat, if we may credit the
latest advices from the Punjaub frontier, of a
minister of the Shah with a large force, has not
tended to dispel the apprehension that the court
of Teheran, instigated by Russian diplomacy, was
anxious to prolong the war between the Ameer
of Cabul and Sultan Ahmed San. Although an
armistice had taken place the ruler of Herat,
animated by the assurances of help from the
Shah, has rejected overtures of peace on the part
of the Dost. In addition to 10,000 Persians with
60 guns encamped at Meshed, a large force had been
dispatched by the Shah to Herat, which still con-
tinued invested. The reports of native news-writers
state that cholera was decimating alike Afghans
and Heratees. At Peshawur the same visitation
has attacked the troops.
"Additional revelations as to the late gambling
transactions at Simla have transpired. Sir Hugh
Rose has taken resolute action in the matter. Col.
Christie, whose losses have amounted to £25,000,
has been deprived of the brigade command at Delhi.
The commander-in-chief has also remanded some
members of his personal staff to their corps on ac-
count of their participation in ' high play.' The
chief winner in the deadly ' fasti ' of the green-cloth
is, it is confidently reported, Lieut. Elton, ex-aide
de camp, and who is now on his way to England
" His Excellency the Governor of Bombay has
paid a visit to Sholapore, where he held a durbar.
" Sir Bartle Frere, with his staff, has returned
1 from his tour in the Deccan to Dapoorie, where he

is now.
" An important discovery has been made by Mr.
M'Lardy, of Calcutta, in the disposal of waste steam,
which is calculated to reduce the expenditure of coal
to a minimum.

" The following is the amount of consolidated
salaries to be given for the command of native regi-
ments, graduated according to the rank of the officers
holding the commands :—Lieut.-colonel, rs. 1400 a
month ; major, rs. 1200 a month ; captain, rs. 1050
a month ; and lieutenant, rs. 850 a month.

" Major-Gen. Smith, C. 8., commanding the Sind
division, will be appointed to the divisional com-
mand of Poona in place of Major-Gen. Hale, who
proceeds shortly to England.
" Her Majesty's ship Odin has arrived in Calcutta.
She carries the broad pendant of Commodore Lord
J. Hay, C. 8., who is to inaugurate, in concert with
the general government, the naval arrangements
necessarily resulting from the annihilation of the
Indian navy.
" The grand jury (Bombay) on Sept. 30 ignored
the bill in Capt. Smalea' cese. Captain Smalea is
about to institute proceedings in the High Court
against Col. Crawley and Gen. Farrel for false im-
prisonment.
" The rebel Zahoor-001-Hoosein, who was instru-
mental in the murder of Major Orr, Mr. Hart, and
other Europeans, has been captured in the Nizam's
territory, where he had taken up employment under
an assumed name. He is lodged in the Poona
gaol.
" Government have sanctioned a preliminary sur-
vey of the proposed line of tramroad up the Valley
of the Indus in order to connect Kotree by rail with
Mooltan.
" Mr, James Hume, the senior magistrate at Cal-
cutta, and a well-known journalist, died at Galls on
the 21st September on his way to England.
" Dr. C. C. Mead, surge= of the European Gene-
ral Hospital, Bombay, died at his residence, Mala-
bar-hill, on the Ist inst.
" Col. Pelly writes on the 10th July, from Zanzi-
bar, that the route to the interior of Africa and the
Lakes is now open.
" Lieut. Jackson is still at Debra Ismail Khan
under a European
guard. Nothing has as yet been
settled as to where he is to be tried."

THE LAST DAYS OF THE EXHIBITION.—Great
excitement prevails among persons desirous of purchasing
the best articles which are offered for sale during the last
days of the Great Exhibition. Ladies naturally feel inter-
ested in matters of dress, and have for the last few days
literally besieged many of the most attractive cases, almost
compelling the various attendants to abandon their posts in
despair. Amongst the shawls—which, of course, at this
season aro in great demand—in Class 21, Messrs. Kerr,
Scott, and Kilner are the only manufacturers, British or
foreign, whose medal has been accompanied with such a
flattering distinction as that conveyed in the following ex-
tract from the Jury Award Book :—" For a remarkably
fine collection of woven shawls in all textures, stamped with
the character of cheapness or superiority, and the highest
degree of skill in manufacture." The public will derive
the full benefit of their ingenuity, as the contents of the
case are offered for sale at manufacturers' prices, thus
affording an opportunity for the purchase of good and cheap
shawls that rarely occurs; and, if an opinion may be formed
from the numerous applications to-day, the contents will
not long remain unsold.
