FIRE ON BOARD A PETROLEUM SIIIP.—An
American vessel of 566 tons burden, the Blanche Howe,
lying in one of the docks at Marseilles, suddenly burst into
flames on Monday morning, September 7. She had ar-
rived from New York on the 12th of August with 9,000
barrels of petroleum, which she had unloaded, and was
taking in a return cargo of lead, wine, &c., when the at-
tention of the crew was attracted by the increasing smell
of the mineral oil left in the hold by the leakage of the
casks. A man was sent down to examine the state of
affairs when the vapour ignited at the light he carried,
and the fire was almost instantly communica tod to several
parts of the ship. The hatches wore immediately closed,
and the vessel towed to the entrance of the port. The
fire brigade at once wont to work, but three hours elapsed
before the conflagration could be got under. .

NAVIL. AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, Sept. 17.—Her Majesty's steam sloop
Antelope arrived from Corfu on the 11th with de-
spatches, mails, invalids, an I prisoners from the
squadron, and this morning her Majesty's ship
Endymion arrived from Augusta Bay in Sicily,
where the fleet was left yesterday. The letters by
her are not yet delivered. It appears that their
stay at Corfu was only a few hours, in consequence
of the prevalence thereat of smallpox. The New-
port surveying vessel left yesterday for Sicily, to
resnme her labours on the south-west coast. The
following is taken from the Malta Times of Thurs-
day, Sept. 10 :—" We wonder what the French,
Italian, and Spanish sanitary authorities will think
of us when they hear that we have given the sfratto
—we believe there is no English ward for it, but
by- circumlocution it may be sail to be, 6 to send to
the right about'—to a Spanish ship which had
arrived from the West Indies in 46 days, because in
Matanzas, where she had loaded, there was yellow
fever and cholera. The Joven Antonio left Ma-
tanzas with a cargo of sugar for Malta, and arrived
here with no sick on board, and without having had
any illness during the voyage. She had a foul bill
of health, and there seems to be no doubt that both
cholera and yellow fever existed at the port of load-
ing. Immediately after her arrival the Beard of
Health was convened, and what was decided did
not transpire, for no public order or notice was
issued, but the ship was ordered to leave the har-
bour. The captain urged that he had no provisions.
A respite of a few hours was granted, and on Tues-
day morning, Sept. 2, the ill-starred ship, after
having been for 46 days at sea, again left, bound,
we believe, for Marseilles. But this is not all. The
Joven Antonio was sailing away bound for Mar-
seilles, certain of receiving a less unhospitable re-
ception, and was scarcely out of sight, when the
Spanish ship Palma entered the great harbour laden
with a cargo of sugar, from Matanzas, which she
had left contemporaneously with the Joven An-
tonio. She had originally taken on board, besides
the sugar, some rum for Marseilles, and having dis-
charged the rum there performed the usual quaran-
tine (five days), changed her papers, came to Malta,
and was received in pratique. Now it is well worth
asking, what do sanitary boards aim at—forms or
facts ? If the Joveu Antonio had touched at Mar-
seilles and spent a few days there before coming
to Malta, would she have been in reality less dan-
gerous than by coining direct to Malta and remain-
ing a week or so in quarantine here ? And if the
Palma bad come direct, could not she have per-
formed her quarantine in Malta, and must she per-
force be turned away ?"
The Russian frigate Alexander Newaky, 51,
Capt. Kremer, left Plymouth Sound on Monday
morning for St. Petersburg. Prior to her departure
his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alex's, ac-
companied by Admiral Posiet, visited and inspected
her Majesty's new armour-plated ship Northumber-
land, 24, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., in Plymouth
Sound.

The armour-plated screw steam corvette Pallas,
6, Capt. Edward H. G. Lambert, at Plymouth,
received her powder on Monday, and is new ready
for sea.

The Prussian training brig Rover left Plymouth
on Monday for the Mediterranean.
The crew of the Northumberland, 24, Capt.
Roderick Dew, C. 8., were inspected on Monday by
Port Admiral Sir William Martin, K.C.B.
A revised code of regulations, approved by the
Secretary of State for War, has been promulgated
at Chatham for the guidance of all persons employed
on board her Majesty's store department receiving
vessels for gunpowder and ammunition, and in la-
boratory craft used for the conveyance of the same
from the receiving vessels. The regulations direct
that all persons employed in the receiving vessels,
barges, boats, and magazines are to change their
outer clothing—viz., coat, waistcoat, trousers, cap,
and shoes, and will wear the suits specially provided
for them. The change of clothes is ordered to be
made in a shifting-house specially provided, where
the ordinary clothes will be deposited. Smoking is
strictly prohibited, and any man found with a Luci-
fer match in his possession will be instantly dis-
missed. No fire is, on any account, to be allowed
on board any of the receiving vessels, barges, or
boats, all of which are to be kept scrupulously clean
and free from all loose gunpowder. In shipping or
uushipping ammunition or gunpowder, tanned
hides or wadmiltilts are to be laid over that portion
of the vessel over which the cases or barrels pass,
and a red flag is to be kept flying when there is any
gunpowder or ammunition on board the receiving
vessels.
Detachments of 42 non-commissioned officers and
men of the Ist battalion of the Bth (the King's)
Regiment, and 46 men of all ranks of the Ist bat-
talion of the 14th Regiment, will proceed from
Chatham garrison this morning to Gravesend, where
they will embark on board the screw steamer Brenda
for Malta. Lieut. M. Stourton, Ist battalion of the
Bth Regiment, and Lieut. J. Laing, Ist battalion of
the 14th Regiment, will embark with the troops.
Yesterday afternoon Major-General F. Murray,
attended by his personal staff, left Chatham and
proceeded to Gravesend, to make an official inspec-
tion of the Brenda previously to the embarkation of
the troops.

An order was yesterday received at Chatham
directing 42 non-commissioned officers and men of
the Ist battalion of the 14th Regiment, and 15 men
of the 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, to pro-
ceed from their respective depots on the 30th inst.,
to embark for Bombay to join the service com-
panies of their corps. The officers ordered to em-
bark with the troops are Captain G. H. Cope,
14th Regiment, and Ensign A. G. Bridge, 10th
Regiment.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—Staff Commander William P.
Braund to the Northumberland ; Lieut. Archibald
L. Douglas to the Cambridge ; Lieut. J. W. Ram-
say to the Galatea ; Lieut. C. C. P. Fitzgerald,
Lieut. E. G. Hulton, Lieut. J. A. T. Bruce, and
Lieut. R. T. B. Bruce to the Excellent, for the
llercules ; John W. Nelson, engineer; to the Fis-
gard, for the Vivid ; Wm. Miller, engineer, to the
Black Prince, for the tenders ; and A. G. Woods,

ETON COLLEGE.—The long vacation closes to-day
(Wednesday) with the arrival of the lower boys at the
college. The fifth form will return to Eton to-morrow,
and the sixth form on Friday.
After the withdrawal of the French expedition
from Mexico several Frenchmen found their way into
California, and have there proved valuable settlers in cul-
tivating the vine, to which they brought the knowledge
acquired in the greatest vine-growing country of the
world. " There are thirty millions of bearing vines in
California, with a capacity of fifteen millions of gallons of
wine and one million gallons of brandy, which at the
lowest estimate represents a yearly value of $8,000,000,
with groat increase where there is a market. The large
sum paid for foreign wines and brandy renders it desir-
able to encourage and foster this important branch of
domestic industry. It is pointad out that few countries
have climates adapted to the vino, and that its cultivators
can reasonably expect a more c2.rtain return than from
other agricultural opratiens. A great desire is expressed
in California for au organized effort to establish central
wine factories for buying grapes and making wino, and
for disseminating information abroad on the inducements
offered by that State."
