NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, FEB. 25.—W0 have no naval movements
whatever to report beyond the arrival and departure of
mail steamers.

Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, however, ever alive
to the necessity of keeping all hands in exercise during
the monotony of a stay in port, is continually bitting
upon happy expedients so to do. Last week an alarm of
fire on board the flag-ship was given to ace how quickly
assistance would be rendered, and lo and behold engines
were playing upon the supposed ship on fire as if by
magic. On the 24th "Shift top-masts" was unexpectedly
displayed at 9 sac, from the mast-head of the Queen,
when the same was effected in the following order:—
The time noted is from the moment the signal was made,
until the topgallantmasts were up again and fidded;
topgallant and royal yards were not crossed, as is cus-
tomary, at eight on that morning. The Albion's main-
topmast was at least twenty minutes delayed from the
carrying away of the hawser, and something similar
occurred as regards the foretopmast of the Ganges, but
we have heard of no personal injury of any consequence.
