r ACIVEDIENTS SINCE THE 15TH INST.—Vice-Admiral
'ii • E. W. C. R. Owen, in the Queen, together with
at, tar-Admiral Sir F. Mason, in the Howe, with the En-
pte Enable, Rodney, and Indus in company, were towed
out of Malta harbour by the Devastation and Medea war
sten triers on the 15th instant. The Medea returned into
port on the same evening, bringing in for surgical treat-
Lem t the gunner of the Rodney (with a broken leg), and
s erne seamen of the same vessel, who had auffered inju-
r. ies I iy the breaking of the tow rope or hawser, and it
e ortunate that so few men were standing by at the
me, eer the consequences might have been more serious.
A_ nava c t the Medea got his hand also crushed in tow-
, 'eig. out cure of the other ships. After getting the fleet
, dear of the port, the Devastation was sent away to
ipoly,:to order the Snake and Vernon to Malta. She
ret urned on the,lBtle, bringing some seamen of the
\ rnon aid despatches announcing the arrival there
feel n Constantinople of the new Pacha, the successor'
or the universally detested Askar Ali. With these
des. patches she was sent away on the 19th to seek
the Admiral, and on the 22d returned with letters
fret n the fleet to ride out her quarantine. On the
lot 'e the Savage sailed from Malta harbour and com-
mu with the Admiral, who seat her on to Tri- •
1; of y, and thence to Tunis, and a Tunesine schooner
c r, ear, which arrived from Tunis on the 23d, brought
a re port that a brig of war, supposed to be English. had
f die u in with, and captured several piratical boats on the
c Da& ; of Barbary, which may, perhaps, prove to he the
e: e eat7e, A Greek merchant brig, the Presentazione
di ti Virgine, laden with wheat from the Black
Sot •, bonne to Leghorn or Marseilles, nut into Malta on
the evening- of the 12th, reporting that the current and
con tinued c,elm had drifted her on a shoal, near the
Chs rgeni Islands, on the coast of Barbary, when, .hav-
ing asked assistance from a schooner cruizing therea-
boa is (no doubt a piratical craft), the master was recom-
mended to send st. boat ashore. Having accordingly sent
one with five hands, it did not return, but the vessel in
ther t meanwhile had floated off and come to an anchor in
de el , water. That five days after, whilst awaiting the
re turn of her boat, a boat of a large size was descried,
w bich, on nearing the Greek vessel, dropped her.
so it in such a way as to cover the whole boat, not,
evever' before the brig's crew -perceived that the
be at had a numerous crew. This excited the
G. reek Captain's suspicions, and he immediately
• ped his anchor and run for Malta, followed for some
rs by the boat, and without having seen or heard
anyt ping further of his own, one of whose crew was the
rapt sin's father. As the Charchenis lay in the direct
taut se of the Savage from Tripoly to Tunis, it is possible
she may have fallen in with mid taken the pirates.
The Austrian Rear-Admiral Baron Bandiera who
• rived at Malta in the Venere frigate, from the Levant,
on . the 15th, was admitted to pratique on the 19th, and
sa filed again on the 22d for Tunis, intending, its said,
to -visit the ruins of ancient Carthage before returning to
SE i yrna. The L'Aiglc arrived from Smyrna, Athens,
mei Corfu, on the 19th, and the Snake from Tripoly on •
the 21st, and on the 22d the Medea. was sent out by the
Rea r-Admiral Sir John Louis to the fleet, which con
tin" e in the offing, limiting their cruizing ground to be-
ewes •n Malta and Cape Passer°, in Sicily. There appears
to let no other object in this cruize than mere exercise
of II fie crews, and trying rates of soling ; but in this
latter the weather has not favoured them, having
bee a generally calm until the last 48 hours, when the
Rot ney has manifested a decided superiority even
over The Queen. The Alecto left on the 15th with
the rails for the lonian Isles and Patras, and the
Pre metheus on the 18th fur Gibraltar, with those for
Enuland. The Polyphemus will convey to Marseilles
the hourly expected India overland mail by the Tagus,
t: eat a Alexandria. The Monarch was admitted to prat•i-
VE' on the 19th. Several of the crew of this vessel have
die 1, and nearly two-thirds are now in a most emaciated
beet,e from the effects of malaria fever, contracted on her
we expedition to the river Xanthus, to remove the
jeec.ia,n marbleollected by Mr. Fellowes. Much of this,

LATEST NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
MALTA, JULY 27.—Vice-Admiral Sir E.N.C. R. Owen,
in the Queen, 110, with the Howe, 120, bearing the flag
of Rear-Admiral Sir F. Mason, the Impregnable, 104,
the Rodney, 92, and the Indus, 78, stood close in on the
25th, and the weather being calm, they were severally
towed into port by the Devastation war steamer. They
have been nits no harbour since leaving Malta on the
15th inst. The good sailing qualities of the Rodney have
been most conspicuous, and equally so the dull ones of
the Howe, which was even beat by the slow In:preg-
nable. It is generally rumoured that, owing to the dis-
tressing state of health of Lady Owen, Sir Edward will
give up this fine command, and Admiral Keppeir is
spoken of in naval circles as likely to be his successor.
Captain Sir James Stirling of the Indus is also under the
necessity of proceeding to England, and Captain
Walpole, of the Vernon, has, it is said, been offered the
vacancy. Her Majesty steamer Geyser, arrived from
England and Gibraltar yesterday. It is said that on
getting up her steam at this latter port, she caught
fire through some neglect of not filling the boiler, and
that some combustibles were thrown overboard as
matter of precaution. • The Vernon, 50, arrived yester-
day from Tripoly, bringing accounts of the departure
thence for Constantinople of Askar Ali in the same
Ottoman frigate which brought his successor, Mehemet
Pacha. The Medea war-steamer was dispatched to
Ancona by the Admiral on the 22d instant. • The Alecto
steam-packet arrived with the mails from the lonian
Islands and Patras yesterday, and early this morning
the Tagus contract steam-packet, from Alexandria, with
the mails from India, dispatched from Bombay the 19th
ult. by. the Cleopatra for Suez, where they arrived the
18th inst. The Polyphemus leaves immediately for
Marseilles with the overland mails for England, and the
Tagus will continue her voyage to-morrow morning.
The Egyptian fleet is reported to be preparing for a
cruise under the new Admiral Caid Pacha. A division
of small vessels belonging to the Sultan are also going
for a cruise in the Archipelago.
