Naval and Military Intelligence.

VALETTA, Oct. 16.—1 have received my usual cor-
respondence from the squadron to Oct. 9th. The
Prince Consort and Royal Oak left Spezia early on
the morning of the 3d for Marseilles and Gibraltar
en route to Lisbon. We learn by telegraph that they
arrived at Marseilles on the 7th, had obtained pra-
tique, and were coaling. They had been obliged to
remain two days at Ily-eres, in consequence of bad
weather. They were to continue their voyage as soon
as they had completed coaling. The Psyche arrived
at Spezia from Ville Franche on the 6th with mails
and despatches, and bringing as passengers Lady- C.
Paget and two daughters, Mr. C. N. Kemp, private
secretary to Lord 11. Lennox, S,!eretary to tile Nd-
iniralty-, and Lieut. Britten, to join the Caledonia.
The Commander-in-Chief returned to Spezia from
Florence on the same day. Lord C. Paget had a pri-
vate audience with the King of Italy on the morning
of the 3dinst.; and received his Majesty's invitation
to dine at the Pitti Palace on the sth. Tho King
on both occasions expressed himself much gratified
with the presence of the squadron in Italian waters.
In consequence of the refusal of the authorities to ad-
mit the Lancefield, freight steamer, to pratique until
the 14th inst., the Arethusa was not to leave Spezia
for Malta until that date. The Cruiser, 5, screw
steam sloop, Commander Morgan Singer, has had a
narrow escape of being wrecked. She left Spezia for
Malta, en route to the coast of Syria, on the morn-
ing of the 7th, but on the following night the Ad-
miral received a telegraphic communication that she
was in distress in the neighbourhood of Massa. The
Arethusa and Endymion were immediately
despatched under steam to her assistance, and she
was towed into the anchorage of Spezia by the Are-
thusa. It appears that the Cruiser encountered a
very heavy gale from the south-west, and was driven
on to a lee shore near Avenza, where she anchored.
Her cable parted during the night, but the second
anchor, which she lot go close to the beach, fortu-
nately held her. The seas broke clean over her, put-
ting her fires out, and she was for some hours in
great peril, but she did not touch the ground. She
lost several sails, as well as an anchor and cable.
She would, however, be able to proceed to Malta
without being docked. The Admiral intended to
leave Spezia about the 16th inst., with the Eudymion
and Psycho, for Cagliari, but Sardinia having since
been placed in quarantine at Malta, no doubt this
part of his plan will bo changed. The squadron
will probably arrive at Malta towards the end of the
month, provided the state of health of the island will
permit. The Tyrian was to leave Spezia on the night
of the 9th inst. for Ville Franche with the mails. She
was to proceed to Malta soon after her return to
Spezia on the 13th, en route to Candia, to relieve
the Wizard. Commander the Hon. Victor Montagu
has been permitted toproceod to England and Lieut.
Joshua Cole, of the Arethusa, has been appointed to
the temporary command of the Tyrian. Mr. Ed.
A. W. West, midshipman, of the Arethusa, has
boon invalided. The Racer, when relieved by the
Arethusa, will convey Mr. George Dennis, her Ma-
jesty's Vice-Consul at Benghazi, to Marsasousa,
to inspect some cipolin columns lying on the
shore at that place, and, after taking the Vice-
Consul to Benghazi, will return to Malta. We learn
by telegraph that the squadron wore still at Spezia
on the 15th inst. Her Majesty's steam surveying
vessel Hydra, Capt. Shortland, arrived at Gibraltar
from Malta on the 23d of September, and, after re-
ceiving instructions from England, left on the 3d of
October for St. Vincent, Cape of Good Hope, and
Bombay. During the whole of the time she was at
Gibraltar she was detained in quarantine. This ves-
sel, as before stated, is to take preparatory sound-
ngs for laying a submarine telegraph cable between
the neighbourhood of Aden and Bombay.
The members of the Dockyard Craft Committee
assembled at Chatham Dockyard yesterday morn-
ing, under the presidency of Vice-Admiral Sir
Thomas M. C. Symonds, K.C.8., and commenced
their investigation at that establishment, in which
they are expected to be occupied for several days.
The War Department steam storeship Earl de
Grey and Ripon, Commander Moore, from Devon-
port yesterday, commenced discharging a heavy
cargo of returned stores at the Guuwharf in Wool-
wich Arsenal, consisting of 12,000 stand of arms
for conversion, 28 guns of various calibres, shot,
shell, platforms, slides, &c. Before coming along-
side at Woolwich she landed 50 tons of metal-lined
powder cases at Purfieet. The Earl de Grey and
Ripon, notwithstanding seine heavy weather, made
the passage in 30 hours from port to port. 10,000
7-inch and 9-inch shells, and a large number of
common shot, all on the Palliser chilled system, have
been packed in canvas bags during the week at
Woolwich, and are ready for transport for Madras,
stated to be for the Abyssinian campaign.
Her Majesty's Indian troopship Malabar left
Bombay the 18th inst. for Suez, with troops, which
may be expected at Portsmouth in the Sera& on
or about the 20th of November.

Yesterday Major-Gen. Freeman Murray, com-
manding the troops at Chatham, paid an official
visit of inspection to the Royal Engineer establish-
lishment, Brompton barracks, over which he was
conducted by Col. J. A. Simmons, C. 8., Director
of the Royal Engineers, and other heads of depart-
ments. Daring his visit Gen. Murray inspected the
halls of study, schools, model rooms, lecture theatres,
and the several departments of the scientific portion
of the establishment, spending some time in the
inspection of each. The inspection terminated in
the afternoon.

The officers and men belonging to the mounted
and dismounted portions of the Royal Engineers
who have been selected for service in Abyssinia aro
undergoing a course of instruction at headquarters,
Chatham, in the new system of day and night mili-
tary signalling, according to the code adopted by
Capt. Bolton. The parties under instruction have
been inspected by Col. Simmons, C. 8., and are ex-
pected shortly. to leave headquarters to join the ex-
peditionary force in Abyssinia.

THE INFORMER REILLY SHOT.

DUBLIN, Monday.

The informer Reilly, who was examined at the last
Fenian Commission, was fired at last night in the
main street of Blackrock, while talking to a friend.
Reilly, who was also armed with a revolver, fired on
his assailant, who made off on a car, with five others,
up ➢Terrion• avenue.
A policeman on duty near the spot rushed after
the car, and succeeded in holding on by the rails.
Five or six shots were fired at him by those on the
vehicle, and he was compelled to let go.
The perpetrator of the outrage is well known to
the constable, who states that he is a labourer
named Byrne, residing in the neighbourhood. The
authorities are confident of capturing him. Sub-
sequently Reilly came to Dublin, and had the slight
wound he received in the hip dressed.

ARREST OF THE ALLEGED ASSASSIN.
DUBLIN, Half-past 2 p.m.
John Byrno, who is said to have fired at the
informer, has been arrested with another man,
named Charles Kavanagh, who was in his com-
pany, and both have been just remanded at Kings-
town.
