it to any good source, that his Excellent:), Sir Gaspard Le
Le Marchant is not likely to continue long 'tn the gover-
norship of this island."

The rumour must certainly be a caloalistic fabri-
cation ; and no doubt Sir Gaspard h; Ls already ex-
perienced a little of the usual deception practised in
Malta to enable him to treat such things as they
deserve. I believe that a strong party of officials
are opposed to the energetic measures and vigilant
watch of our new governor ; but they must ulti-
mately succumb, and their notorious laxity and
indifference to the discharge of their public duties
be changed to energy and attachment to duty. The
first good step taken by Sir Gaspard WWI to put all
the public departments in proper working; order, and
this, of course, is distasteful to many officials. hence
some opposition.

The Acting Chief Secretary to Government
Capt. Brett, A.D.C., is discharging the duties of
that office with the greatest credit to himself, and
satisfaction to the public. His exact knowledge of
public affairs, and ready discernment of what is just
and necessary, as well as his courtesy, have already
earned him great respect and esteem here.

The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Panther,
with London mail of 2d inst., arrived last evening.
The Colombo is expected to-day from Alexandria
with the mails from Calcutta and China. The
Euxine will convey the overland portion of the
mails to Marseilles.

A quarantine of 15 days has been established in
Malta on all arrivals from Tripoli, and 21 days on
those from Bengazi, where, it is reported, the plague
is raging. Malta is at present in free pratique with
Corfu, in consequence of the precautionary measures
taken here. I understand tkat a quarantine of eight
days is fixed at Marseilles on arrivals from Malta.
Admiral Fanshawe's fleet is still cruising off the
island. Her Majesty's gunboat Coquette has arrived
from Corfu. The Vigilant has been despatched to
Suda Bay, in Candia, to relieve her Majesty's steam
frigate Vulture.
The following British mercantile steamers have
arrived and left during the week, viz. :—General
Williams, Demetrius, Thessalia, and Lebanon.

and the Prince were met by his Royal Highness the
Prince of Prussia and a numerous and brilliant staff.
Ilis Royal Highness proceeded with her Majesty
from Aix-la-Chapelle to Dusseldorf, at which sta-
tion the Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigma-
ringen were in waiting to receive the Queen.
The carriages of the Prince of Hohenzollern were

the Princess of Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen, the
Prince Consort, and the Prince of Prussia, and the
Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance to the Breiten-
