It is dated Malta-harbour, April 26 :—" I have to report to you the arrival of this ship at Malta, at 7 o'clock this morning. I arrived at Gallipoli at 10 31 a.m. of the 21st inst., and at 3 30 p.m., in com pliance with an order from Sir G. Brown, proceeded to Constantinople, where I arrived at daylight the follow ing morning. The troops, baggage, &c., were all landed in the course of the day, and at 6 20 p.m., I weighed and proceeded to Malta. At 830 a.m. of the foilowing day (April 23), just above the entrance of the Dardanelles, I met and spoke the Trent, having the steamer Tonning in tow, and shortly afterwards the Medway ; they would both in all probability arrive at Constantinople the following morning. I also passed on the same day the English steamers Emperor and Arabian, going up the Dardanelles, and on the 24th instant, off Cerigo, the General Screw Company's steamer Golden Fleece, steering for the north-east. It will be requisite to remain here two days for the purpose of sweeping flues, and also to effect some repairs to the boilers, but I hope to get away on Friday, the 28th inst. I requested Admiral Stuart to furnish us with sufficient coal here to enable us to reach England, but as he de clined doing so, I shall have to put into Gibraltar. Every thing has gene well during the voyage, and perhaps I might mention that before leaving the ship the com manding officer of the troops brought to me the report he had prepared to forward to the Admiralty, expressing in the warmest terms the satisfaction he felt at the arrangements of the company on board the Orinoco."

EST kBLIA,IED 1841. MEDICAL, INVALID, AND GENERAL LIFE OFFICE, 25, Pall Mall. Since the ectabliihment of this Society, 5,074 Policies haw been issued for 2,090.0291 with ~0 ,3 5 of annual premiums. Two Bonuses have been declared (in 1848 and 1853), adding nearly 2 per cent. per annum on the aye , aga to sums assured, and by which a Policy of 1,0001. issued in 1842 on a healthy life is now incres:sed to THE MILITIA. The Royal Denbigh Rifle Militia will assemble for 28 days' training at Wrexham, under the command of Col. Biddulph, M.P., on the 10th inst. A i number of volun teers have been receiving instruction n drill at the head quarters under the adjutant to qualify themselves as in structors during the training. The progress made by them has been extraordinary. The secont regiment of Somerset Militia assembled at Bath on Tuesday for the purpose of commencing their 28 days' drill. The men, indeed, came pouring in as early as Monday morning, and one company, under Captain Stanley, marched in on Tuesday morning, by the Wells road, preceded by drums and fifes, and cheering again and again for the Queen. The regiment, which attained great proficiency last year, and received the unqualified approbation of the reviewing officer, has been considerably thinned by volunteering into the line, but new recruits have been readily obtained, and many have come in daily since the assemblirg of the different companies, so that the regiment now musters nearly 1,000 strong, and there is every reason to believe it will in a few days present its full complement. Last year the drill was conducted by abody of men from the army, but the exigencies of war leave this duty to be performed now by the regimental staff, which is quite efficient, and comprises several experienced veterans. The regiment is under the command of Colonel Pinney, M.P., and the officers have engaged a commodious house in Brock street for their mess. In order to give eclat to their proceedings, they have also engaged an excellent band of Germans, consisting of about 20 performers, who not only accompany the regiment to drill, but will play three evenings a-week in the grounds of the Royal Circus for the amusement of the public. The citizens on their part have invited the officers to a grand ball, to ba held at the Assembly-rooms. The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution has also been thrown open to the officers during their stay, and arrangements made by the clergy and others, by which week-day evening instruc tion in reading, writing, arithmetic, and other branches of useful knowledge, and means of religious improve ment, will be afforded to the men. An excellent hos pital has also been established, and the regiment will attend Divine service at Trinity Church on Sunday afternoons. The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Artillery Militia, under Sir Coleman Rashleigh, Bart., Lieutenant- Colonel Commandant, have assembled at Falmouth for a month's training, and received their clothing on Thursday, preparatory to drill. From the number of recruits among them it is presumed the regiment will complete its full number this year. A quantity of am munition and other materiel for the use of tlie garrison and for the artillery and infantry practic e of the militia has been lodged at Pendennis Castle, where the latter force is stationed for duty, with the regular Ordnance Company, under Captain De Rinzy. The South Notts Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com mand of Colonel Holden, assembled on Thursday for eight day's training in Bulwell Forest, near Tottingham. The men looked remarkably well in their Hussar uni forms. They will be reviewed on the 11th inst. The Sherwood Rangers, commanded by ale Duke of Newcastle, assembled at Newark on Thursday for eight days' training. The 3d West York Militia, at Doncaster, have com pleted a fortnight of their second period of t^aining, and during the last day or two have been exercised in firing practice, five rounds of blank cartridges be ng supplied to each man on each day. They are rapicity acquiring the methods of firing in rank, in retreat, and in resisting cavalry. The regiment will be reviewed byLieutenant- Colonel Slade, inspecting field officer, next week. 1,2601 Profits divided every five rears. Assurances are effected at home or abroad on either healthy or diseased lives, at as moderate rates as the most recent data will allow.

The ships of the belligerent Powers may import into, and export from, the ports of Sweden, all commodities and merchandise, provided their importation or exporta tion be permitted by the general Custom-house tariff; with the exception of articles contraband of war. 8. All Swedish subjects are forbidden to arm or equip vessels, as privateers, against any of the belligerent Powers, their subjects, and property, or to take part in the equip went of vessels intended for that purpose. They are equally forbidden to serve on board any foreign privateer. 9. No foreign privateer shall be allowed to enter a Swedish port, or to stay in our roads. Prizes are not to be taken into Swedish ports, except in cases of proved dis tress. Our subjects are also forbidden to buy captured effects of any kind from foreign privateers. 10. When a captain, sailing without escort, is met in open sea by any vessel of war of ono of the belligerent Powers having right to examine his ship's papers, he must neither refuse nor endeavour to avoid the search, but is bound to produce his papers loyally and without evasion, and to take care that none of the documents concerning the ship or its cargo be abstracted or thrown into the sea, either after the vessel is hailed, or during the search. 11. When merchant vessels sail under escort of vessels of war, the captains must act in conformity with the pre scriptions of the Royal Ordinance of 10th June, 1812. 12. The captain, who observes scrupulously all the above regulations is entitled to enjoy, in accordance with treaties and the law of nations, a free and uninterrupted naviga tion, and if he be, notwithstanding, molested, he has a right to expect the most energetic support on the part of our ministers and consuls abroad in all his just attempts to obtain reparation and indemnification ; whereas the captain who omits or neglects to observe what is above prescribed for his guidance, will only have himself to blame for the unpleasant consequences of his negligence, without hope of our support and protection. 13. In case of the seizure of a Swedish vessel, the Cap tain should remit to the Swedish Consul or Vice-Consul, if there be one in the port where his ship has been brought, or, in default, to the nearest Swedish Consul or Vice- Consul, a faithful and duly certified report of the circum stances of the capture, with all its details. We direct and order all those whom it may concern to conform themselves exactly to the above. In faith of which we have signed the present with our hand and have affixed thereto our Royal seal.

A DIP INTO THE CHESTER CUP. THE WAR NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The steamship Gottenbur, arrived in the river at 2 p.m. yesterday. She left Gatenburg on the 2d of May, The Bulldog was coaling in Wingo Sound. The Alban was waiting the arrival of . the French fleet off the Scaw. At 7 on the 2d she passed an English line-of-battle ship off the Scaw, steering f or the Cattegat. At 6 p.m. ex changed colours with the French fleet off the Texel. The fleet consisted of four line-of-battle ships, three frigates, and a paddlewheel steamer, steering N.E. by E, with a light air from S.W. An English schooner yacht was in company with the fleet. The Miranda, 15, screw corvette, Captain Lyons, left Spithead at 1 p.m. on Thursday for the Black Sea, where she will join the squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.B. She was ordered to return to the Baltic, and was on her way, when counter orders overtook her in the Channel, and she went on to Spithead to await despatches from the Admiralty. The Portland, 50, Captain Chads, was expected at Portsmouth last evening from the Channel to discharge her freight. Her Admiral, it is reported, will rehoist his flag to pay the ship off. Port-Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, K.C.8,, in spected the officers and crew of the flag-ship Impreg nable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, in Hamoaze, Devonport, on Thursday, previous to his retirement from the com mand at that port. Yesterday, the Himalaya, scow steam-ship, was sur veyed for the purpose of discovering her capabilities in the conveyance of cavalry. She is reported to be en abled to make accommodation for 300 troops, with their horses, and 20 officers. There is, however, very little doubt that the Himalaya will be found capable of carry ing 50 more of both horses and troops than at present estimated. The preparations will commence at once, but nothing definite is known as to the time and place of her departure. A number of engineers will proceed to-morrow, in the new screw steam-ship Simla, to join the fleet in the Baltic. The Calcutta, 84, teak built ship, which was commis sioned at Portsmouth on Wednesday, by Commander Stephens, for Captain James Stopford, has been brought alongside the dockyard for fitment. She is to have a complement of 750, including officers. The Trinity Board have lately placed a new light ves sel off the Warner buoy, Portsmouth, east end of the Isle of Wight, having one mast and light. It is next to impossible now (unless a ship be hauled by a lubber) for any difficulty to be experienced in getting to Spithead by day or night. The Trinity Board have done a good thing, whether to the navy or merchant service. The transport-ship Wilson Kennedy, Captain Simp son, with the head-quarters and last troop of the Bth Hussars, sailed for the Mediterranean on Thursday morning. Wind south-east. The transport-ship Harkaway, No. 39, Captain Ste vens, with horse artillery from Portsmouth for the Medi terranean, entered Plymouth Sound on Thursday after noon. In coming down channel she bore up for Torbay, on entering which she struck on a sunken wreck, and shortly after the cap of a mast floated up from under her. The crew state that they could discern through the water the three masts of a large ship, and it is conjectured that the wreck is that of the unfortunate Bremen emigrant ship Favourite, which was run down off the Start by the American ship Hesper on Friday, the 28th ult., when nearly 200 persons were lost. The Harkaway was tele graphed at Torbay to come to this port, and she will be taken to the dockyard for inspection and repair. The 6th Enniskillen Dragoons have arrived at Exeter during the present week from Birmingham. A recruiting party preceded them on Monday, and on Tuesday they made their entrance into the city in the presence of a large concourse of the inhabitants. The third an beendast detachment followed t hem on Wednesday, having billeted in various small towns near Exeter. The Ennis killens are not expected to remain in Exeter longer than the present month, as the barracks will then be occupied by the Ist Devon Regiment of Militia, which will assemble on the 31st inst. for 28 days' training. The 11th Hussars have at last received orders to be ready on Saturday morning for embarkation from Kings town. The Glendalough, Captain Howson, which arrived on Wednesday, together with the Tyrone, the Asia, the War Cloud, the Pan ola, and the Paramatta, has been fitted up for their accommodation, and will convey the regiment to the seat of war. One of the officers of the regiment was at Kingstown during Thurs day, making arrangements for the embarkation. Lord Cardigan is still in London. Captain Jerningha.m, R.N., is busily engaged in Limerick in enlisting volunteer recruits for the Royal Naval Coast-guard service. Since he opened the ren dezvous on the quays on Friday he enlisted no less a number than 90, among whom was a large number of people from the North Strand, well acquainted with the use of boats, and some of whom were in the navy before. The Rev. Mr. Moore, parish priont nf St. Munching, on last Sunday advised such of the fishermen as could do no better for themselves at home to embrace the opportunity which was now presented to them of securing for themselves a competence. THE ROYAL ALBERT. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., surveyor of the navy, visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, for the purpose . of inspecting the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, and the preparations for the launch of that splendid vessel on Saturday, May 13, at one o'clock. The Royal Albert was designed by the late Mr. Oliver Lang, roaster shipwright of the Woolwich Dockyard, and her keel was laid down on the anniversary of Prince Albert's birth-day, August 26, 1842. She was origi nally constructed for a sailing ship of the line, when she and was proceeded with as such till January, 1852, was ordered to be altered to a screw ship of the line, and was in consequence lengthened about 14 feet at the stern, to give space for the screw propeller. By this increase of length, the tonnage (builder's measurement) was increased by about 264 tons. Her present dimensions and tonnage, &e.., are as follows : Length between the perpendiculars 232ft. 9in Length of keel for tonnage 193 61 Breadth, extreme 6l 0 Breadth for tonnage Breadth, moulded Depth in hold Bnrthen in tons, 3,726 4-94 Engines by John Penn and Son, on their patent trunk principle, of 500 horse-power. The carpentery of this magnificent ship differs in many particulars from the ordinary mode in shipbuilding, and evidences the great mechanical skill of the master shipwright by whom she was designed. On his demise, in 1853, the task of completing the Royal Albert devolved on the present Master-Shipwright , Mr. Wm. M'Pherson Rice, in the fulfilment of which much good taste and ability have been displayed. The Royal Albert is a very fine specimen of naval ar chitecture, and reflects the highest credit on all who have been engaged in her construction. The preparations for the accommodation of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal family are on a grand scale, and the number of the nobility, the members of both houses of Parliament, and gentry, will be far greater than was at first anticipated; the seats have consequently been carried farther back, and will now contain sittings for 8,000 persons. The seats are so constructed as, to present a most spacious amphitheatre, and, as each seat only rises three-and-a-half inches above the one imme dine...oly in front of it, the view will be splendid, and un interrupted to all who may be present, and the specta , tors for a. considerable distance on the south and east side of the slip, although only standing in the yard, will have a good view of the launch. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master Com mander John E. Petley, will be moored alongside the wharf wall, adjoining the Queen's Royal booth, for the accommodation of her Majesty's immediate attendants, and the other vessels in the ordinary will be made avail able for parties desirous of witnessing the launch. Speculators intend to have the stands from Epsom put up on the opposite side of the river. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Master—John Penn (1831), to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich.

MAY 4 - The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from he r Ma j est y 's Charge d'Affaires at Stockholm, enclosing a declaration which has been issued by the King of Sweden, for the guidance of the trade and navigation of that country in times of war between Foreign Powers, a translation of which is hereunto subjoined. We, Oscar, by the grace of God, Sing of Sweden face of the and Norway, &c., recognizing the necessity, in the collisions threatening to take place between foreign mari time Powers, of the rigorous observance by our faithful. su bjects engaged in trade and navigation, of the obliga tions and precautions requisite to ensure to the Swedish Flag all the rights and privileges appertaining to it, in its quality of neutral, and also with a view to avoiding everything that might render it in any way suspected by the Belligerent Powers, and exposed to insult, have judged it expedient, in re pealing previous orders on the subject, to decree that the following rules shall be generally o bserved in future : 1. In order to be admitted to enjfq the rights and privi leges accruing to the Swedish flag , in its neutral quality, every Swedish vessel must be furnished with the docu ments which, by existing ordinances,* are required to prove its nationality, and these documents must always be on board the vessel during its voyages. 2. Captains are strictly forbidden to have double or false papers and bills of lading, or to hoist foreign colours on any occasion or under any pretext whatever. 3. If, during the stay of a Swedish vessel at a foreign port, the crew, whether by desertion, death, illness, or any other cause, should be so diminished as not to be sufficient for the working of the vessel, and foreign sailors should be therefore engaged, the preference must be given to the subjects of Neutral Powers ; but in any case the number of the subjects of the belligerent Powers on board the ship must not exceed one-third of the total crew. Every change of this nature in the crew of the ship, with the causes which have led to it, must be marked by the captain in the ship's books, and the fidelity of the annotation cer tified by the proper Swedish Consul or Vice-Consul, or if there be no such person at the spot, by the civil authorities, the notary public, or some other person of the same autho rity, pursuant to the customs of the respective countries. 4. The Swedish vessels in their neutral quality may na vigate freely to the ports and on the coasts of the nations at war; but the captains must abstain from all attempts to enter a blockaded port, as soon as hey have been formally wa rned of the state of that port byt the officer commanding the blockade. By a blockaded port, is meant a port which is closed by one or more of the enemies' vessels of war, stationed so near that it cannot be entered without evident danger. 5. All merchandise, including property of subjects of the belligerent Powers, may be freely carried on board Swedish vessels in their quality of neutrals, with the exception of contraband of war. By contraband of war, are meant the following articles : " cannons, mortars, arms of all sorts, bombs, grenades, balls, flints, matches, gunpowder, salt petre, brimstone, cuirasses, pikes, belts, cartouch-boxes, saddles, and bridles, as well as all articles directly serving for warlike purposes" —excepting always such a quantity of these articles as m a y be necessary for the defence of the ship and the crew. In case any changes or additions should bo made in the definition of articles composing contraband of war, consequent upon conventions with Foreign Powers, further notifications will be issued. _ • 6. Every Swedis h ca p tain is forbidden to enaploy.the vessel which he commands, in the transport, for any of the belligerent Powers, of despatches, troops, or munitions of war, without being forcibly compelled. lu this case h© WAR-OFFICE, May 5.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. This society, established for the relief of aged and in firm printers and their widows, celebrated its twenty seventh anniversary by a dinner, on Thursday, at the London Tavern. In the absence of Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., owing to an affecting calamity in the Mediterranean, Mr. Layard, M.P., discharged the duties of the chair. In proposing the customary local toasts, reference was made to his Royal Highness Prince Albert having be come a patron of the society. The toast of "The Army and Navy" was received with marked enthusiasm. The Rev. Mr. NICOLAY, in acknowledging the toast of "The Church," said the printing press had done more for the evangelisation of the world than anything else that could be named. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing "Prosperity to the Printers' Pension Society," said his absence from the chair last year had been unavoidable. This year he had great pleasure in officiating for Sir Robert Peel, who had been incapable of performing the duties in conse quence of an awful catastrophe in the Mediterranean, of which they had heard of through the newspapers. It was a source of gratification that Providence h ad spared him the calamity which had befallen so many, and that the honoured name of Sir Robert Peel was still ill pre s erved to their country. (Cheers.) He hoped , n the absence of Sir Robert Peel, they would put b up with him. (Laughter.) They knew that he s h o ad .t e i e e n s employed in excavating old stones on the site f that were once as famous as their own. It might occur to them to inquire what was the cause of the dis appearance of those cities fro absences thseenaocee of knowledge, f he earth. One cause, he thought, was te and the absenc e of a power in those times to distribute it. (Cheers.) knowledge was then confined to the priest hood and a few other classes. The printing press was now become as necessary to them as the air they breathed. It was by its instrumentality that the great and sacred truths contained in the Bible had been disseminated over the globe. If they wished to ascertain the value of the printing press, let them imagine fora moment what would be their state under its absence. They re membered the cab strike. (A laugh.) Now, let them ima gine what would be their feeling if all the morning newspapers had been stopped. What would be the feel ing of members of Parliament to find no record of their s peeches? How would the City merchant dispense with the record of the money market ? How would they miss the account of the taking of Sebastopol—news which, whether true or false—(laughter)—was always so gratifying? Mistakes would happen—they all knew that ; but still they all knew the value of the morninf , papers. Toe duty of the printer was of an arduous character. The mid night hour, at which he most frequently pursued his labour, was most destructive to health, and one of the great afflictions peculiar to printers was the loss of sight. As a member of Parliament, he had often.. been struck, after the house had risen at four o'clock in the morning to see "those burning lights " at the offices of the morn ing newspapers which indicated that the words, only as it were just out of the mouths of members of their Houses of Legislature, would soon be on their breakfast tables. (Cheers.) Mr. CowAN, M.P., in proposing a toast, said, the public—not less than printers—were indebted to the authors of the country. It was notorious that not one book in three, nor one pamphlet in three, paid its ex- f lin ex penses. Without attempting to investi g ate the cause . o this, he might observe that i t evinced a f ee ling of cbs interestedness which was cr editable to the a uthors of this country. (Cheers.) Subscriptions were than announced au:tow:Ain to about 400/. Although the races contested at Newmarket on Thursday and Friday were numerically insignificant, yet they were marked by incidents of interest and importance. Champagne and Scythian contested the 100 Sows Sweepstakes, and their meeting was watched with no little curiosity. A slashing race too it was between them; Champagne when called upon for the finishing effort swerved, but Marlow's skill enabled him to win on the post by a head. He followed up his success on Friday by " turning the tables" on Middle sex for the Newmarket Stakes. He ran kinder and gamer, too, than on Tuesday and Thursday. This circumstance is explained by the fact of " plating" him differently, for yes terday leather was placed between his hoofs and the plates. Champagne is what is technically termed a " soft horse," and both in riding and training requires tender treatment. Boiardo's performance created no little surprise. Tho movements relative to the Chester Cup were many and important. Dr. O'Toole was brought into prominent notice, and Aldford, Domino, and others received a support suffi ciently spirited to be significant of their owners' intentions. Acrobat was, however, yesterday advanced to the position of leading favourite. So well, indeed, was the demonstration iu his favour sustained, that his stable eompanion, Newmin ster, rapidly receded in the betting. Acrobat's sudden rise was not utterly unexpected, but perhaps few people were prepared to see him occupy so conspicuous a position in the list of quotations. lam little inclined to regard his victory over the Physalis colt as evidence of great racing power, but I am compelled to acknowledge that his appearance and style of going indicate him to be a horse of a superior stamp. In deed many persons believe Acrobat to be the best three-year old in John Scott's stable, and have frequently declared their conviction that he is intended ultimately to supersede Dervish iu the Derby betting ! A meeting will take place at Tattersalls this afternoon, when it is probable that speculation will undergo some im portant changes. I shall therefore reserve a full and unre served expression of my opinion as to the Chester Cup chances until Monday. In the meantime, I shall diligently watch the market, and endeavour to find a satisfactory answer to the momentous question, " What's to win the Chester Cup ?" He, however, who attempts to solve this query correctly, needs possess the gift of second sight. For my part, I must confess my inability to " see into the middle of next week. By an impartial examination of the chances of the probable com petitors, it will, however, be possible, to render my " guesses at truth," pretty accurate. May 6 A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

After the first 200 yards they ran in close company until they were half-way over the New Ground, when Middlesex showed in advance, Champagne lying about third, a position which ho held to within a short distance of the chair, when he went up, and after a fine set-to defeated Middlesex by a neck ; the second beating the third two lengths, and Boiardo finishing a clear length behind Apollonius ; bad fifth.

Handsome Buck a moderate fourth, Margaretta fifth. The Cm' was not challenged for at this meeting. The Newmarket Stakes, the principal feature of interest and importance in to-day's scanty list, was rendered particu larly attractive by the circumstance of Boiardo, Champagne, and Middlesex meeting again after their contest for the Two Thousand. The race gave Champagne his revenge of Middlesex for the defeat sustained from him for The Guineas. The posi tions of Middlesex and Boiardo (second and fourth) were rela tively the same. Acrobat's easy triumph over Physalis colt had the effect of advancing him to the position of leading favourite for the Chester Cup. He was also backed for some money for the Derby. It will be seen by the above return that three races out of the four were very closely contested, and the resuLts were in favour of the " fielders." The weather was all that could be desired. The sun shone forth brilliantly, and a soft south wind diffused a balmy fresh ness through the clear atmosphere. The first lace was at half-past twelve, the last at two, and in an hour afterwards the town resumed its wonted quietUe, most of the company having left by special train for London. The journey was accomplised in two hours and a half. MR. THELLUSON. —On our return to town we were glad to find that there was no truth in the report so industriously circulated at Newmarket that this gentleman was dead. LATEST BETTING. CHESTER CUP. Acrobat, after his defeat of Physalis colt, rose into high favour for this event ; 20 to 1 was taken to some money im mediately after the race, and so strong was the desire to get on, that at last 12 to 1 was taken, and offers were made to back him against anything. Aldford and Dr. O'Toole were nominally at 12 to 1 each; Newminster at 30. DERBY. Eu route to Louden, four monkeys to ono were taken about Autocrat. Wild Huntsman was again in full cry ; 20 to 1 taken freely. 2000 to 40 taken twice about Acrobat. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.
