MALTA.

VALETTA, FEB. 21.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer arrived this
morning from Gibraltar and Southampton with the
outward India mail, and proceeded this afternoon
to Alexandria. The Ellora, from Marseilles, with
the overland mail, is expected this evening • and
the Nepaul and Indus, with the homeward India
and China mails, to-morrow morning:
Her Majesty's ship Perseverance, bringing a wing
of the 2cl battalion 23d Fusiliers, arrived to ; the
Urgent, with the head-quarters of the regiment, is
expected to-morrow. Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Vulture also arrived to-day from Gibraltar to be
repaired. The mercantile steamer Elba has gone
home to ship the new electric cable to be laid be-
tween Candia and Alexandria ; she is expected to
complete the line by March next.
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Caradoc returned
from Corfu yesterday. I learn that the new Lord
High Commissioner, Sir H. Storks, arrived at Corfu
on the 16th, and landed amid the customary honours.
On the day following the royal warrant was read
in the lonian Assembly. The popular members,
Dandolo and Padovan, had addressed the Assembly,
against the proposed reforms. Braila, as Govern-
ment Fisco, exposed their false patriotism. Lom-
bardo was left speaking, and damaging any good
impressions made by the latter.

FEBRUARY 24.

At 2 p.m. this afternoon the Russian squadron,
composed of a line-of-battle ship and two frigates,
having the Grand Duke Constantine on board,
entered our grand harbour, under salutes from all
her Majesty's ships of war in port, Fort St.
Angelo, and the Saluting Battery. The salutes are
now being exchanged. Crowds of people line all
the bastions facing the grand harbour, waiting to
see the Grand Duke land.

H.M.S. Urgent arrived yesterday, bringing the
head-quarters of the 23d Fusiliers, which regiment
disembarked this morning from on board the Per-
severance and Urgent. H.M.'s corvette Arid has
also come into port from Corfu. The Peninsular
and Oriental steamer Nepaul arrived this forenoon,
with the Calcutta and China mails, from Alexan-
dria. She proceeds at once for Marseilles.
H.M.'s ships of war in port are the Marlborough,
Conqueror, Centurion, Vulture, Ariel, and several
gunboats.
The Cesarewitch, Russian liner, is still in port,
so that there are two Russian liners and two frigates,
all screws.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.

A new ballad-opera, or perhaps more strictly speaking
" operetta," glees and choruses being included in the scheme
was produced on Monday night, in presence of a crowded
audience, and with entire success. The subject of " Wil-
liam and Susan "—of which the words are by Mr. T. H.
Reynoldson and the music by Mr. J. 11. Tully—is, in re-
gard to the main incidents, so identical with the late Mr.
Douglas Jerrold's melodrama of "Black-eyed Susan," that
it would be superfluous to describe the plot. Suffice it that
the story is extremely well adapted for lyrical purposes,
and that Mr. Tully has been very happy in the musical
delineation of the various situations. At present we have
only space to record that the operetta, which is put upon
the stage in a highly efficient manner, wasreceived through-
out with extraordinary favour; that several pieces were
loudly redemanded ; and that one of the scenes—" Full
view of the Downs, with the fleet riding at anchor"—was
so greatly admired that a unanimous call was raised for the
painter—Mr. W. Beverley. Among the representatives
of the principal characters were two novices, Miss C.
Lucette (Susan), and Mr. Edmund Rosenthal, who took
the part of Captain Cameron. Both were successful. Of
these, however—of Mr. Haigh, a tenor well known to the
patrons of Drury-lane Theatre, who impersonated William ;
of the rest of the dramatis persona, and of the music par-
ticularly, we must defer speaking till another occasion. At
the fall of the curtain the applause was vociferous, and, in
obedience to the general desire of the audience, Mr. Tully
appeared before the footlights.

AXIOMS FOR QUAUK S.

• LEGAL ADVICE (GRATIS) TO QUACKS.
1. Don't take the patient's fee on the promise to
cure him instanter, when you know you can't—
that would be a false pretence.
2. Don't personate one of your confederates, or
say you are Smith when you are plain Jones ;—say
boldly you are Jones—that would be no false pre-
tence.

3. Don't say you have been to China or Turkey,
when, in truth, you have not ;—that would be a
false pretence.
4. Don't call yourself Doctor or Surgeon ;—that,
under the new Medical Act, would be a fase pre-
tence. Be a plain Mister, and promise no more
than you can fulfil—then there is no false pre-
tence.
5. Don't get shown up in that awful journal, the
Medical Circular, for the maxim of its conductors
is, that the only mode of immolating a quack is to
publish his accomplishments in the daily and weekly
journals through the machinery of county courts,
police courts, and the Old Bailey.—ltfedical Circular

MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE REGENT'S ..,ANAL.
—Yesterday, an inquest was taken by Mr. Wakley, at the.
Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, on view of
the body of Mr. James Wight, aged 49, who was found
drowned in the Regent's Canal. It appeared from the evi-
dence that on the 18th ult. the deceased, who had formerly
been in business in St. Pancras, and who was highly re-
spected, attended the funeral of Mr. Jolliff, landlord of the
Prince Albert, Caledonian-road, and which took place at
Kensal-green. On his return from the funeral he called at
the Chalk-farm Tavern. He left there rather excited, to
go home, but was never afterwards seen alive. His body
was subsequently found in the Regent's Canal. A verdict
of " Found ded' was returned.
A few days hack it was reported that the house
of M. Fould, at Paris, would take the new Sardinian loan
of £2,000,000, but the letters yesterday state that it will not
be entertained in that quarter. This is looked upon as an
unfavourable symptom, since M. Fould, as Minister of
State, must possess opportunities of foreseeing if events are
at hand that might render the speculation too hazardous.
The same advices mention a general rumour that Count
Cavour is about to visit Paris.
A telegram from Berlin in the Hard, dated
February the 27th, states that the projected mission of
Prince Frederick William of Prussia to Vienna has been
abandoned.

cure him instanter, when you know you can't—
that would be a false pretence.
2. Don't personate one of your confederates, or
say you are Smith when you are plain Jones ;—say
boldly you are Jones—that would be no false pre-
tence.

3. Don't say you have been to China or Turkey,
when, in truth, you have not ;—that would be a
false pretence.
4. Don't call yourself Doctor or Surgeon ;—that,
under the new Medical Act, would be a false pre-
tence. Be a plain Mister, and promise no more
than you can fulfil—then there is no false pre-
tence.

5. Don't get shown up in that awful journal, the
Medical Journal, for the maxim of its conductors
is, that the only mode of immolating a quack is to
publish his accomplishments in the daily and weekly
journals throngh the machinery of county courts,
police courts, and the Old Bailey.—Medical Journal,

MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.
—Yesterday, an inquest was taken by Mr. Wakley, at the
Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, on view of
the body of Mr. James Wight, aged 49, who was found
drowned in the Regent's Canal. It appeared from the evi-
dence that on the 18th ult. the deceased, who had formerly
been in business in St. Pancras, and who was highly re-
spected, attended the funeral of Mr. Jolliff, landlord of the
Prince Albert, Caledonian-road, and which took place at
Kensal-green. On his return from the funeral he called at
the Chalk-farm Tavern. He left there rather excited, to
go home, but was never afterwards seen alive. His body
was subsequently found in the Regent's Canal. A verdict
of " Found dead" was returned.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—MIiton 1.
At our corn exchange this morning there was a :lair
attendance of the town and country trade, but the busi-
ness passing was limited, and no further quotable alteration
occurred in the value of either wheat or flour, and holders
were very firm. The demand for Indian corn was better,
and a fair quantity found buyers at an improvement of Id
per cental. Oats and oatmeal steady, at full prices. Peas
and barley without change in their value. Egyptian beans
advanced Id per cental. The market on thei whole displays
more tone.

HAYMARKET.

A version of the French vaudeville, "Le Mere de
Famille," was brought out on Monday night with the title
of "The Young Mother," chiefly for the purpose of intro-
ducing Miss Emily Allen to the London public.
Thirteen years have elapsed since the original work,
which is by MM. Dennery and G. Lemoine, was first pro-
duced at the Gymnase, where it still remains as a stock
piece ; and, if we remember right, an earlier translation has
been performed on the English stage. However, the story
of a young girl who acts as a mother towards her numerous
brothers and sisters, and who, though she finds one of them
rather unruly, perseveres in her task to the end, is of a
kind that will bear telling more, than once ; and the audi-
ence last night were pleased enough when the scampish
brother, played by Mr. W. Farren, proved a convert, and
the goodnatured cabinet-maker, represented by Mr. Buck-
stone, engaged to take with him the "young mother," as
his better-half, to Australia—a projected emigration being
introduced by the adapter at the end of the tale, in order to
enlist more powerfully the sympathies of a modern English
audience. Miss Allen, whose physical power is not great,
looked exceedingly artless, and played very prettily as the
"young mother." She was loudly applauded when led on
at the conclusion by Mr. Buckstone, who announced the
piece for repetition amid general signs of approbation.

Translated from the German of Dr. PIakFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. 'This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—As there has lately appeared in the leading news-
papers several letters and editorial statements with refer-
ence to " Incendiary Shells for Warfare," and as those
statements have invariably attributed the invention of in-
cendiary shells to Captain J. Norton, I beg you will, in
justice to myself, and for the information of your readers,
insert the following enclosed paper, extracted from the
Mechanics' Magazine of 6th May; 1859.—1 am, sir, your
obedient servant, JOHN MACINTOSH.

LIQUID FIRE SHELLS.
We have had a great deal of discussion lately respecting
the invention of liquid fire shells. Captain Norton's name
has been very prominently connected with the subject, but
we have the gallant officer's authority to state that he lays
no claim whatever to the use of any specific chemical sub-
stance for the purpose, his improvements being confined to
the appliances by means of which such substances may, in
his belief, be safely and effectually used. Dr. &offal:"
makes an ambiguous claim in respect to the use of such
substances, but his language on the point is very indefinite
both as to the material and as to time. A letter from Mr.
Macintosh, whose patent for such shells has been too much
lost sight of, puts the matter in its proper light in so far as
shells charged with bisulphuret of carbon and phosphorus
is concerned. He says :—" Permit me to state that 'a shell
filled with coal-tar naphtha, mixed with phosphorus and
bisulphuret of carbon having a bursting charge sufficient
to open the shells, which, when exploded, scatters its con-
tents in all directions--the shower of inflammable material
falling among cavalry and troops ignites spontaneouslYt
causing their immediate disorganisation and destruction.
Fired into shipping, these shells, bursting on deck or belovrf
cause the same results ; fir..d into harbours, dockyards, or
towns, the result is alike destructive and decisive.' The
above is-extracted from my patent—No. 1,774. In 1853 I
offered my invention to the Government, but Lord Pan-
mure, then Minister of War, interdicted the sealing of ray
patent, on the grounds of its efficacy and great valuer which
interdict has since been removed by his lordship. The
patent has been sealed, and consequently made

A SENTIMENTAL EXILE.--We find the following
in the Union The Count de Chambord quits the soil
of Austria to take up his residence in Holland. In remov-
ing, after a residence of 20 years, from a land where he
leaves the venerated tombs of Charles X., of the Duke
d'Angouleme, and of the heroic daughter of Louis XVI.,
and in abandoning, without hesitation, Venico and Frohs-
dorf, the Prince obeys the invincible impulse of national
feeling. His truly French heart cannot bear the idea of
inhabiting a country at war with France. It is quite enough
to be in exile ; the Count de Chambord will never allow the
dignity of his positon or the susceptibilities of his patriotism
to be subjected to the slightest attamt."

TIIE AUSTRIAN GENERALS.

The Sieele gives, from the pen of M. Louis Jourdain, an
account of the Austrian generals under whose direction the
campaign in Piedmont has been opened :—" The name of
General Gyulai," says the writer, " has already rever-
berated through France. We have seen it figuring at the
end of a very bellicose order of the day, which was in a
manner the preface of the Austrian ultimatum. General
Gyulai, now the actual governor of the Austro-Italian.,
provinces, and commander-in-chief of the troops in
Lombardo-Venetia, was in 1848, a simple general of brigade'
He fought under the orders of Radetski, specially at Ctle-
tozza, on the 25th July; and unless he has forgotten tha
particulars of that battle he should cherish some respect
for the Piedmontese troops. Custozza is the name of one of
the villages included in the line which was occupied by the
Sardinian army. 55,000 Austrians, commanded by Radetski,
assailed four Piedmontese brigades, the collective strength
of which was 20.000 men. One of these brigades was com-
manded by the Duke of Genoa. The fight lasted from 8
o'clock in the morning till 4in the afternoon. The Pied-
montese performed prodigies of bravery ; they defended stoP
by step all their positions, and retired facing the enerari
whom they never allowed for a single instant to break their
ranks. One understands how King Victor Emmanuel, in
his recent proclamation to the army, recalled with pride this
glorious retreat. General Gyulai commanded on that day
one of the Austrian brigades ; he knows consequently what
the Sardinian soldiers are worth ; and he is about to
learn the quality of the soldiers of France." The writer
next introduces General Hobel. "His rank in 1848 WWI
nalnmal A Om. +ll. .4* P orlatalti stow..
was entrusted to keep open the communications of the
general-in-chief between Verona and Trent by Rivoli and
the Garona. He took part with a battalion of the regiment
of the" Emperor's chasseurs, in the action of Pastrengo, when!
the Austrians were beaten. He is the same, if we are not
deceived, who causal to be shot in the fosses of Trent the
patriot Italians. He found that an easier task, apperentlY•
than beating them on the field of battle." General Hess is
the next individuality. "If we are to credit the latest Italian
letters, it is General Baron de Hess who has incurred dis-
grace by having blamed the offensive movement across the
Ticino. He took part in the campaign of 1848, in %unlit/
of chef d'etat major of Marshal Radetski. Vast nulitarY
talents were ascribed to him at that time. He had not then
attained the height of his reputation." Of General Benedict,
the historian of the Sleds says: "He enjoys a European
reputation almost equal to that of his celebrated colleagues
General Haynau, the woman-flogger."

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

(From the Gazette of last evening.)
WAR-OFFICE, MAY 6.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her
intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on
the under-mentioned Officer of her Majesty's Army, whose
claim to the same has been submittted for her Majesty's
Cr, on account of an act of braveryperformed by him
in the imea, during the late War, as recorded against
his name, viz. :
Major Frederick Miller, Royal Artillery—For having, at
the battle of Inkerman, personally attacked three Russians,
and with the gunners of his Division of the Battery pre-
vented the Russians from doing mischief to the gun.; which
they had surrounded. Part of a regiment of English in •
fantry had previously retired through the Battery in front
of this body of Russians.
Her Majesty has also been pleased to confirm the grant of
the decoration of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned
officer of her Majesty's Indian Military Forces, which de-
coration has been provisionally conferred upon him by the
Commander-in-Chief in India, for distinguished gallantry
displayed by him in that country. when serving under his
immediate command, as recorded against his name, viz. :
Lieutenant Thomas Adair Butler, Ist Bengal European

side of the river were subsequently apprised by Lieutenant

Lord Harris has left Madras for Calcutta, and
Sir C. Trevelyan has arrived. He has signalised
his entrance into office by appointing a native
officer as aide-decamp, and expressing in a speech
his great sympathy for the Anglo-Indians.

THE TARIFF AND INDIAN FINANCE.
The financial and commercial crisis in which
India has of late been involved continues to excite
considerable attei►tion. The public meetings at
Calcutta and Madras were very unanimous in pro-
testing against the suddenness of the new tariff.
But as in both these places the measure was en-
forced with less precipitation than at Bombay, the
attention of the speakers "was directed rather to
the political questions involved in the passing of
the tariff, than to the impolicy or injustice of the
measure.

NORTH-WEST PROVINCES.

Nothing has occurred to disturb the peace of these
provinces, but there have been anxieties as to the
maintenance of peace in the small territory of Ul-
wur, west of Delhi. Some Fusiliers and Artillery
have been despatched from the latter city to Re-
warree to watch Ulwur ; but it is probable that no
occasion will be given for an appeal to arms. The
cause of agitation is very simple. The young chief,
a Hindoo, is in love with a young Mussulman girl,
daughter of the late Prime Minister, so the story
runs, and he wants to satisfy his desires by con-
forming to the Mahomedan religion. Hence the
great wrath on the part of the Hindoos, and threats
of an appeal to, arms.
