Naval and Military Intelligence.

MALTA, June 21 :—Lord Clarence Paget, with
the Victoria, 102, screw line-of-battle ship (bearing
his fiag), and the ironclads Royal Oak and Resis-
tance, came into port on the 15th inst. These ships,
all in the finest order and discipline, are anchored
off the Royal Naval Hospital at Bighi. In order to
insure better ventilation they have been laid with
their broadsides to the wind, which must be a great
boon to all on board iu this hot weather, and act in
a favourable manner on the health of both officers
and men. During the late cruise his lordship put

Le ships through some novel manoeuvres, which
were executed greatly to his: satisfaction, and have
called forth an excellent spirit of emulation. It is
now the general opinion among naval men that cap-
thins of ships of war will have, in case of an engage-
ment with an eneroy,to act in agreat measure singly,
and that the result will depend very much on the
skill and rapidity with which they handle their ves-
To ascertain the capabilities of the different
ships his lordship caused them to describe the figure
8 within a prescribed distance, not exceeding three
times the vessel's length marked out by buoys. In
this the Royal Oak proved herself to be the handiest
ship, the Resistance second, and the Victoria third.
The squadron is to leave port again on Monday,
when these and other experiments will be repeated.
In the meantime the Commander-in-Chief has taken
a cruise to Sicily in the Psyche, but he is expected
back before the arrival of the next mail, due to-
morrow. The case of Col. Mitford continues to ex=
cite some interest in consequence of the local Go-
vernment having again stepped forward to prevent
the course of the law, and this makes the fourth in-
stance in which they have overact the decisions of
the magistrates in the case of military officers sen-
tenced to fine and imprisonment for assault
during the few months' absence of Sir Henry Storks
from his post as Governor. The pretext in this
instance is that the gentleman insulted had pleaded
in his behalf. But what is chiefly complained of is
that a positive law has been infringed by the local
Government in order to show favour on this occa-
sion to their officer, by ordering that he should be
allowed to remain in the prison in Valetta, instead
of his being removed, according to law, to the Cor-
radina Prison. Right or wrong, there is a strong
feeling that justice is not administered fairly by the
head of the Government, and a petition to the Sec-
retary of State is in circulation, which, after enume-
rating the different cases alluded to, prays that an
inquiry may be instituted into the matter, and steps
taken for the course of justice not to be systemat -
cally interfered with in future. The reports f
isolated cases of cholera in Egypt are not authenti-
cated by the latest telegraphic news, which reports
the sanitary state to be very good. At Yambo, on
the Arabian coast, however, there has been great
mortality among the returning pilgrims, attribut-
able to exposure and want of provisions and water.
As a matter of precaution, Italy has placed arrivals
from Alexandria in 15 days' quarantine. The neces-
sity of constructing a new lazzaretto at Malta is
allowed on all sides, awl a counnissivu has lately
been appointed by the Government to examine into
this question, and to point out the best locality for
such a building. This commission is composed of
the Chief Secretary, the superintendent of the ports,
an elected member of Council, and the police phy-
sician. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer Avoca, from Southampton, was placed in
quarantine on arrival here this morning on account
of having smallpox on board. Commander G. R.
Wilkinson, late of the Firefly, surveying steamer
on this station, has arrived at Malta on his way to
Melbourne, having been attached to her Majesty's
ship Curagoa, for the survey of the coast of South
Australia. The expense of the survey will be de-
frayed jointly by the Imperial Government and the
Government of the colony.

Oa Tuesday morning the troopship Tamar arrived

in Kingstown harbour from Barbadoes, with the 2d
battalion of the 3d Regiment East Kent Buffs. The
Tamar left Barbadoes on the 9th inst., just as the
mail steamer from Demerara, to touch at Barbadoes,
and leave for England in 24 hours, was going in.
Fine weather was experienced on the voyage home,
which occupied some 16 days 13 hours. The num-
bers of the regiment, which includes the entire bat-
talion (ten companies), are 32 officers, 665 non-
commissioned officers, rank, and file, 43 women,
and 97 children. The tonnage of the Tamar is

2,812 ; horse-power of engines, 500; nominal
length, 345 feet ; beam, about 40 feet. Since last in
Kingstown, in March last, the Tamar has been to
Gibraltar, and on to Malta with the Bth Regiment,
whence, having taken on board the 2d Battalion of
the 4th Regiment, calling again at Gibraltar, she
proceeded with those troops to Halifax. Remaining,
there for some time, she conveyed thence to Barba-
does the 2d battalion of the 16th Regiment. The
I Buffs, a detachment of which were engaged in eq.
