AT MALTA.

The various naval and military movements which
have taken place at Malta are described iu the following
letters :
"MALTA, Jan. 81.—A motion was recently made and
tarried before the Government Council of this island,
empowering the Admiral Superintendent to act as a jus-
tice of the peace on occasions in which the transport
service required the interference of the magistracy. The
law has already been put into operation by the Admiral,
the Hon. Montagu Stopford, on occasions in which
sailors have refused to do their duty. The advantage
of investing the Rear-Admiral with judicial power con-
sists principally in avoiding that detention to the ship
which would ensue in case of an offence committed on
Saturday being deferred for judgment until the ensuing
Monday.
