CANDLES.—If you do not want your candles
‘..) exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM." or "BELMONT
WAX," or their " BEST," " No. 2," " No. 3," or " BATTERSEA "
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffin candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paraffine, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffin Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FAN CY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
"Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.
"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best I ight Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

VALETTA, Dec. 30, 1867—1 t has already been
announced that the Mediterranean fleet has been

reinforced by the ironclads Lord Clyde, 23, Capt.
R. Drew, and the Lord Warden, 18, Captain W.
R. Rolland. The arrival here of the former vessel

was reported last mail, and the latter entered this
harbour on the 27th inst., eight days from Gibraltar.
We have now again four ironclads in the Mediter-

ranean, for ever since the Prince Consort and Royal
Oak were withdrawn in the spring our naval force

_ .
in these waters only included two armour-plated
vessels. Her Majesty's screw transport Orontes, 2,
Capt. H. Phelps, which left Malta on the 16th inst.
for Gibraltar,. returned here on the 27th, having on
board Major Irvine, Dr. Duff, ten other officers,
four ladies, nine children, 300 non-commissioned
officers and men, 62 women, and 95 children, of the

10th brigade f,toyal Artillery for this garrison. The
Orontes will leave on her return to England pro-

bably fo-morrow, taking with her a few naval super-
numeraries, &c. The Cockatrice, screw gun-vessel,
Commander A. G. Bogle, which has been stationed

for some months in the Danube, arrived here on the
27th inst. to refit. She was 17 days from Con-

stantinople, 14 from the Dardanelles, and 10 from
Syria. The Enterprise, 4, ironclad sloop, Com-
mander Bosanquet, went out of this port on the
26th instant for practice, and has orders to re-
turn on the 31st. The Racer, 11, screw sloop,
Commander L. Brine, left on the 27th instant for

practice, and, eturned on the following day. The
Indian screw troopship Serapis, Capt. J. C. Soady,
. _

continued her route on the 2541 instant for Alex.
andria. The Swedish corvette Gefle, of eight guns;
left Malta on the 26th for Smyrna. The Egyp

tian sailing transport No. 7 arrived here yester-
day from Alexandria. She has on board two new
boilers, to be fitted into the Mehemet Ali, Egyp-
tian frigate, which is expected about the end of the
week from Alexandria. Her Majesty's ships in

port are the Caledonia, 30, ironclad (bearing the
flag of the Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief,
Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8.); the Hibernia, receiv-
ing ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral 11. Kel-
lett, C. 8.); the Lord Clyde, 23, ironclad, the Lord
Warden, 18, ironclad, the Endymion, 21, the Racer,
11, the Cockatrice, 1, the Trinculo, 1, the Wizard,
1, the Psyche, despatch vessel, and the Orontes, 2,
screw troopship. We have also here two Italian
ironclads, the Castelfidardo and the Principe Ca-
rignano. The rest of the British Mediterranean
fleet is distributed as follows :—Tbe Arethusa, 35,

the Piraeus; the Cruiser, 5, coast of Syria; the Ter-,
rible, 19, Alexandria; the Caradoc, despatch vessel,
Candia ; the Sky-
eßTeYproiratns'of severe weather con-
ICaorkn,strGtiinborpallet;antlii
tinue to be received from all parts of the Mediterra-

nean. A Greek vessel brought here, on 26th inst.,
the captain and 14 of the crew of the French ship
Amelia, which had foundered at sea on her voyage
to Marseilles from Sierra Leone. Five of her crew

perished with the vessel. A troup of Indian jug-
glers and slack-rope performers—six females and
12 males—have arrived herefrom Bombay on their
way to London, and leave for England via Mar-
seilles the day after to-morrow. They exhibited
some of their 'Wonderful feats on our stage on
Saturday night, and are to perform again to-night
and to-morrow night. Cholera is reported to have
broken out at Reggio, and the pestilence is said to
be carrying off victims at the rate of 100 a day.
This disease is also said to be lingering in Sicily,
and at Catania cases occur daily.
The crew of the armour-plated ship Prince Con-
sort, 31, Capt. Edward A. Inglefield, were paid off
in Keyhatn steamyard on Saturday, in the pre-
sence of Admiral Superintendent the Hon. James
R. Drummond, C.B. The Prince Consort has not
been dismantled, and it is expected that she will
shortly be recommissioned.
The iron troopship Himalaya, 2, Capt. S. B.
Piers, which has just landed Royal Marines at
Queenstown, returned on Saturday to Plymouth
Sound, where she will shortly embark Royal Artil-

lery for Dublin.
The screw steamsloop Columbine, 4, Commander
James E. Erskine, from the Pacific, last from
Queenstown, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday
morning.
The paddlewheel steamer Salamander, 6, 818 tons,
220-horse power, Commander G. S. Nares, having
been dismantled on her return from Australia, has
been put out of commission and paid off into the
third division of the steam reserve in the Medway,
under the superintendence of the officials of the
steam reserve and the dockyard. On the screw
being paid off, a gratuity of £l5, together with a
silver medal, was awarded by the Admiralty to
Colour-Sergeant John Bartley, Royal Marines, for
long service and good conduct. The Salamander
has been in commission rather more than four years,
during the whole of which period she has been at-
tached to the squadron on the Australian station.
On being paid off the continuous service men
among the crew were granted leave of absence for
the usual period. The Salamander is one of the
old class of paddlewheel sloops, several of which
were built some years since, but most of which have
now disappeared from the official list of the Royal
Navy.
Her Majesty's screw gunvessel Espoir, 5, 80-
horse power, recently put out of commission after a
term of service on the West Coast of Africa, and
since attached to the third division of the steam re-
serve in the Medway, has undergone a complete re-
fit, by order of the Admiralty, for special service in
the Thames. On Saturday the Espoir proceeded
round to Purfieet, in charge of Lieut. Arthur L.
Clarkson, of the Formidable, flagship of Vice-Ad-
miral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Comman-
der-in-Chief at the Nore, who has been appointed
a party of 25 seamen,
cers, and six non-com-

Orders were received on Saturday at Plymouth
Citadel for the embarkation early this week of two
batteries 7th brigade Royal Artillery on board the
troopship Himalaya for conveyance to Dublin. The
batteries selected are said to be the 7th, under com-
mand of Captain Orr, and the Bth, Captain Taylor.
On receipt of this order Colonel Pellet S. Green,
who was absent on leave, was telegraphed to return
immediately to the Citadel. A detachment of 20
artillerymen belonging to the 7th brigade are under
orders to leave Plymouth to-day for duty at Pem-
broke.

During the last few days a large number of re-
volvers have been issued from the armoury stores
at the Ordnance establishment, Chatham, and yes-
terday the first supply of them was distributed for
use in Chatham dockyard, it being intended to arm
the police constables on duty at the naval establish-
ments at the port with that weapon. Extra vigilance
is observed by the police on duty in the river in
preventing boats approaching the dockyard in which
are persons not known to the officers, and after
nightfall every boat passed in the harbour is chal-
lenged by the police-constables on duty.
We have to announce the death of Vice-Admiral
Sir W. Dickson, of Hardingham, Norfolk, yester-
day afternoon. The deceased was a midshipman on
board the Minden at Algiers, and was educated at
the Royal Navy College. Ile was born in 1798.
lie is succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother,

Lieut.-Colonel Colpoys Dickson, formerly in the
Bengal Army, from which he retired i❑ 1852.
Orders were vest: rday to. calved at Chatham gar-
risen directing the following details of troops be-
louging to the various East India depots to beheld
in readiness to embark for India, via the overland
route, to join the service companies of their respec-
tive corps :-81 non-conuni-sionedillim.s and men
of the ISt battalion of the King's Royals, 151 non-
commisFioned officers and privates of the 2d bat-
t-dion of the Ist Royals, 101 men of all ranks of the
Ist battalion of the 2d Royals, and 50 men of the
82d (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) Regiment. The
names: of the officerS who will proceed with the
above draughts have not been announced at Chat-
ham garrison.
Capt. J. I. Preston, commanding the depot of
the 45th Sherwood Foresters at Chatham, and
Lieut. A. Glen, 2d battalion of
.the 10th Regiment,
have been planed under orders for embarkation, to
join the service companies of their respective regi-
ments in India.

During the last few days extra preCautions have
been adopted by the officials for the safety of the
powder magazines at Upnor Castle, Chatham, iji
compliance with instructions received to that effect.
Ifer Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Adder has been
relieved of her ordinary harbour duties, and is
moored off the arsenal, a number of warrant officers
and seamen, in addition to the ordinary vessel's
crew, being placed on board for special service by
day and night ; Lieuts. Morrell and Oliver, of the
Wellesley, 72, having charge of the vessel and crew.
A couple of Armstrong guns have also been placed
on board, and during yesterday nettings to prevent
boarding parties getting on board the vessel were
being fixed. Throughout the night armed boats'
crews are constantly sailing backward and forward
along the harbour frontage of the castle, and every.
boat passing after nightfall is challenged and over-
hauled. A careful survey of the approaches to
Upnor Castle from the land side has been made by
Gen. Murray, accompanied by the officers of the
Royal Engineer establishment, and every precau-
tion adopted by the posting of sentries and patrols
of police-constables to prevent any access being
gained to the arsenal. The Diana, 42, is also
moored off Upnor Castle for the accommodation of
the men of the Metropolitan Police doing duty on

the river.
Large supplies of rifles and other small arms con-
tinue to be received at the Ordnance establishment,
Chatham, from the Tower, whilst the utmost ac-
tivity is observable in all the departments of the
establishments in landing and storing the arms in
the armoury, the workmen being employed long
after the customary working hours of the day. Up
to the present time the whole of the arms have been
conveyed from the TOwer to Chatham in the barges
belonging to the War Departmer.t, some thousands
of valuable arms being on each of these occasions
confided to the care of the ordinary men belonging
to the barges, the number of whom on board is only
four. 'Within the last few days the attention of the
authorities has been called to the highly incautious
manner in which these cargoes of rifles are for•
warded down the Thames and Medway to Chatham,
and the facilities which are afforded for attacks on
the vessels conveying them, the effect of which, there
is little doubt, will be that each of the War Depart-
ment transports, while engaged in removing arms,
will in future be securely conveyed from the Tower
to Chatham.
The detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry
on special night (hay in Woolwich Arsenal were
last night relieved by a detachment of the Royal
Artillery, who took up their duties at six p.m., to
coutinne during the night. Ad leave and furloughs
are stopped, and no passes are granted after eleven
o'clock. The same restrictions are kept on the
river as ordered during the past 10 days. All ships
passing up the river after nightfall are carefully
questioned and overhauled if exciting the smallest
suspicion. At 4 45 p.m. on Sunday the steam
tender Bustler, Master COmmander Draper, while
lying at her post at the Red Powder Buoy, off the
Royal Arsenal, was run into, during the prevalence
of a thick snow' drift, by a collier brig. The
Bustler was struck in her starboard bows, damaging
her berthing, &c., and the brig sustained some con-
siderable injury, but was able to proceed on her
way. The commander 'and crew, who are all armed
with six barrel revolvers and loaded rifles, instantly
manned the deck, and were ready with their night
signals in anticipation of an attack.
The armour-plated screw corvette Pallas, Capt.
Lambert, steamed into Portsmouth harbour on
Saturday to make good her defects.
The newly launched straw gun-vessel Pandora
steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday for a
preliminary trial of her machinery before she makes
her official trial of speed at the measured mile.
Orders have been received at Portsmouth for the
screw storeship Supply, Staff-Commander Bawden,
recently returned from the Mediterranean, to be
taken into dock to receive a new shaft. A general
list of defects has been sent in, and it is probable
these will be made good before she leaves again for
Woolwich, and will occupy some time.
A court-martial, under the presidency of Capt.
F. B. Seymour, A.D.C., was held at Portsmouth
yesterday, on board the Victory, flagship of the
Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir T. S. Palley,
for the trial of William Read, ordinary seaman,
serving on board her Majesty's ship Irresistible,
stationed in Cowes Roads. The prisoner was one
of the crew of the captain's galley, and on being
ordered to join the boat and arm himself with one
of the revolvers which had previously been loaded
and issued for the use of the crew, and proceed in
the boat to row along the shore off Osborne at ten
o'clock at night, he refused to obey the order, de-
Lclining to give a reason ; but on the following day,
on the quarter deck, he stated that " he would not
take up arms against the Fenians." The charge
was fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced Lc
five yJars' penal servitude, which also involves that
at the expiration of that period 'be will be dis-
missed her Majesty's service with disgrace.
Her Majesty's paddle storeship Dee, Staff-Com-
mander George Raymond, went down to Woolwich
yesterday morning (having shipped victualling and
dockyard stores at Deptford), to complete her cargo
there, and was under orders to take her departure
this morning for the following stations :—To Sheer-
ness, for the purpose of shipping a couple of steam
launches, Nos. 31 and 46 ; to Portsmouth and
Devonport, No. 46 steam launch being intended for
the latter port. She will then proceed to Cork and
to Pembroke, where she will dedver No. 31 steam
launch for the use of that yard.
Forty additional shipwrights were yesterday taken
on in Woolwich Dockyard at the cost of the War
Department, in order to complete the man-of-war
ship Meanee, now fitting as an hospital ship for
Hong Kong, and to prepare her ports, &e., in readi-
ness for departure.
Her Majesty's 11-gun screw steam sloop Royalist
was yesterday d.ocked at Woolwich to undergo a
final examination preparatory to being commis-
sioned for sea. The new composite gunboat
Dwarf, recently launched at Woolwich for service
in the shallow waters about Canton, was yesterday
undocked, and was hauled into the inner basin and
placed under the sheer legs to be masted and got
ready for the pennant. The 6-gun screw corvette
Juno, launched at Deptford on the 28th• of Nov.,
and fitted at Woolwich, will also be masted at
Woolwich to-day, and will be prepared for ready
service.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—Commander T. Borrett and Com-
mander T. C. Cholmeley to be Inspecting Com-
manders of the Coastguard ; Commander E. H. B.
Hartwell to the Hydra ; Lieut. J. H. Orlebar to
