ARRIVALS AT MALTA.

MALTA, Masco 26.
Numbers of steam and sailing transports are daily
arriving, and departing for t he Crimea,Constantinople,
&c. ; among them may be named the Himalaya,
which ship arrived on the 18th instant with troops
and horses; she merely waited to take coal, water, and
provisions, and in the evening of the same day she
left for her tiestination. On the same day arrived
the British Queen, from Liverpool, on board of which
ship, among other passengers, were Mr. Tatum (ap-
pointed Ordnance storekeeper at Constantinople) and
some of the clerks of the Ordnance establishment,
lately appointed to that station, where the Govern-
ment have thought it advisable an establishment of
this description should be located; this snip left on
the 19th inst, and, as a matter of oottr.'lli ouch
officers left in her; the Deputy Storekeeper Val no
doubt proceed from Corfu, from which station her has
been removed on promotion. The Great Britain arri..ed
on the 22ed, having on board drafts of many of ti.'et
regiments in the Crimea. They land at Malta, and '
are to form put of the provisional battalions that are
to be formed here, and where accommodation is
being provided for them. A certain portion of them
it appears, be placed under tents, in different
parts of the fortifications, where also sheds are being
formed, under the cover of which the men will be
allowed to remain during the heat of the summer
days' son. It appears that the steamers for the
conveyance of the Sardinian troops to the Crimea are
collecting at Malta, so as to sail in company to the
poet or ports from whence they will embark, se there
are already here the Thames. Clyde, Colombo, Cleo-
pates, Eagle, Heels, Enniskillen ; and some others
are hourly ezprcted. There appears to be a pos-
sibility of " Beitch" being bombarded, and a land-
ing made there by troops of the Allied army,
in which sass it is supposed that one of the
points of communication with the Russian army,
and by which large reinforcements of troops and
supplies of provisions are secured, will be cut off. The
10th Ruggers have not arrived from India, and on the
9th instant were still at Cairo. Major Mitford,
the town major from Malta, has been sent thither to
superintend their embarkation; the 91st regiment
have embarked on board the " Emeo " Steam Trans-
port, and sailed to relieve the 3rd Buffs at the Pintos
which latter regiment will return to Malta, so as to
be enabled to join the drafts that have arrived for it
previous to its being sent on active service to the
East. The Triton steamer having been repaired
from the effects of the bombardment has again left
for the Crimea, laden with prisoners and warlike
stores, a number of huts for the army were sent
forward by this opportunity, The Oberon has
arrived from England. very deeply laden with stores,
The Great Britain will leave for England to-morrow.
Bhe takes some four officers, who have returned from
the Bast, some on promotioo, others en sick leave.
P.S. Fear vessels leave to-day for Genoa, to
Wag ea some of the Piechnootess troops. The
Eaten has just been sighted with the 3rd Buffo on
board.
