THE NAVAL HOSPITAL ♦T MALTA.—Our Malta
correspondent writing on May 22 says :—" The QUelli has
sent a portrait of Prince Alfred to Dr. Armstrong, the
deputy inspector of the Naval Hospital at Malta, with di.
rectioos that it is to be perpetually hung in the ward in
which his royal highness war so long confined with a com-
plaint very similar to that which proved fatal to his father.
It war fortunate that there was such an establishment ready
to receive the Prince. It is probably unsurpuned by any
hospital in the world, and it is the admiration of all who
visit it. The sailor who enters feels that everything which
human skill can do will be done for him, and this conviction
goes far towards effecting a cure."
