MALTA, Aro. 25.—Her Majesty's steamer Hecla was
inspected on Friday last by Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis,
when every manoeuvre, even the most difficult, was or-
dered by him. Every one knows the state of discipline
of the Hecla when Lieutenant Hire was appointed to
her. It was therefore with no small degree of satisfac-
tion that her then commander, Duffill, received the com-
pliments of the admiral as to her efficiency, cleanliness,
and good order in every department—a compliment he
declined with much modesty, declaring that all the merit
was due to the First Lieutenant, Hire, to whom he had
entirely confided the internal management of the ship.
This is the officer who some months since, in a gale of
wind off Cyprus, jumped overboard and saved the life of
a seaman, who, however, died two days afterwards. On
Saturday Captain Duffill resigned the command to Com-
am.der Starmer, who read his commission on board.
The "Hecht is under orders for Tripoli, and will pro-
ceed thither dttrino• the week, with Mr. Crowe, the
newly-appointed Consul to that place.
Her Majesty's ship Fantome left port on Saturday
last. with dispatches for Sir T. Meade, her Majesty s
Consul-General at Tunis.

The India rnail,expecTed here to-day, has not arrived,
neither has the Trident, from Enr °iand
Tha Locust steamer left port this. morning to try
some patent coal. The result has not been made known.
The Avenger steam frigate, which conveyed Ibrahim
Taelia to Alexandria, returned to-day. The officers
during their stay at Alexandria have been very kindly
treatrid. On the day of her departure Ibrahim Paella
sent to her commander, Captain Williams, a sword of
the value of 301. sterling, and a costly cashmere shawl ;
to each of the other officers on board a sword of the
value of 151. sterling ; and to the crew a present of 500
sovereigns, besides a plentiful supply of provisions for
the voyage.
Her Majesty's steamer Ardent, from the lonian Isles,
anti the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Montrose, from the Levant, both arrived this morning.
