ARMAMENTS AT MALTA.—We learn from En gland
that a hundred heavy guns and a hundred thousand shot
sad shell are coming one foe the further armament of We
Wand. Great charges in the works are expected to be made
by the commissioners Colonel Owen (ltayn Bugineirs), and
Colonel Lefroy (Royal Artillery), who are at pneent here
examining the fortifications. Ws understand that what-
erre improvements they suggest are to be carried out
immediately, without reference home. Floriana is already
being armoi with heavy gins, with the exception
of the Crown and Horn works, which are both considered as
entirely melees, being commended by the serrounding
heights. The report which Mu found circulation ant peb-
lication here, regarding the prtjicted arming of Citta Vec-
chia with ordnance, is unfounded. But we believe there le
some truth in the rumour that it is in contemplation to send
• regiment there, owing to the want of accommodation in
Valetta and its neighbourhood for the four regiments on
their way here. It is taro end that a regiment im likely to
be emit to Gon.—Malec Times, May 10.
THE RIGHT Or MILITARY Picnrrn TO SEARCH
so et tc- •or sea . rue was adjudicated upon by the m_egle-
testes at Rochester yesterday, in which Mr. Thomas Man-
nonage, landlord of the Trumpet public-house, High-streets
Chatham, was charged with having committed an assault on
a private soldier whowes one of a picket that had entered
his house for the purpose of seeing if there were any soldiers
there drinking. From the statements made by the witnesses
who ware ezescieed in support of the peoesoution it appeared
that batmen 10 and 11 o'clock in the evealeg one of the
pickets that petrol the streets of Chatham during the night
entered the Trumpet public-hove for the purpose of taking
out a soldier who was there, and also to see if these were
say others in the bow,. As they were proneding through
the passage toearda the top-room the laadlord advanced to-
wer& them, and struck ose of the soldiers a violent Wow in
his breast, at the emus time calling him by a filthy experience.
