' VALETTA, March 10.—" 'The Cossack, 20, Lieut.
G. Borlase (in charge), left on the 4th inst. for the
lonian Islands, and the Psyche, despatch vessel,
Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, left on the 6th for
Naples. The latter ship has on board the Bishop of
Gibraltar, who is about to consecrate the new Eng-
lish church there. His Lordship is accompanied by
the Venerable Archdeacon Cleugh. The Magicienne,
16, Capt. W. Armytage, is expected from the lonian
Islands, and the Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. Fortescue,
from the Coast of Syria, other ships having
been sent to replace them. The Pelican, 17,
Commander H. B. Comber, and the Wanderer,
4, Commander M. C. Seymour, are under re-
pair. The latter is to go to Athens. Prince
Arthur, after being detained at Marseilles by
the weather, left on the sth instant, in the
Enchantress, for Naples ; and a private telegram
informs us of his arrival there on the 6th inst., and
of his expected departure thence in two days for
Syracuse. The Italian sailing corvettes Eurydice,
18, Capt. Cavaliere V. Casselli, and Valoroso, 8,
Capt. Cavaliere A. Cappellini, arrived on Sunday
afternoon from Gibraltar on a voyage of instruc-
tion. On entering the port they saluted the garri-
son, and on the following morning the salutes were
duly returned. 'Tie Austrian steam corvette Graf
Dondolo, Capt. G. Nauta, left Malta harbour on
the 6th for Mexico, to relieve the Novaro. The
two Prussian brigs Musquito and Rove, are still
here awaiting instructions. The Royal Thames
Yacht Club schooner Sylph, T. Fookes, master,
arrived on the Bth inst. from Falmouth and Gibral-
tar. She left the former port on the 20th, and the
latter on the 28th ult. The Royal Yacht Squadron
schooner Zoe, E. Rice, master, arrived here on the
following day, having left Southampton on the 20th
ult., and Gibraltar on the Ist inst. She has on
board Capt. and Mrs. Mane. Cable 26 miles in
length is expected here in the Bellona steamer from
England about the 15th inst., when the Fanny Lam-
bert, having effected the repair of the Tripoli and
Benghazi section, and buoyed the ends of the Ben-
ghazi and the Alexandria section at the place of
fault, will return to Malta to take on board the
new piece, and proceed with it to complete the ne-
cessary repairs. The 2d battalion Royal Fusiliers
have received their orders for Canada, and will
probably leave about the end of May. Another
battalion will, it is rumoured, leave Malta this year
for Ceylon or the Mauritius, probably the 2d bat-
talion Bth or 2d battalion 22d, most likely the latter,
it having suffered much from ophthalmia, and it is
thought a change will prove beneficial to it. Capt.
Sherard Osborne, R.N., passed by Malta in the
last steamer from England on his way to India.
Col. Herman, Consul-General at Tripoli, has ar-
rived here from England on his return to his post.
The paddlewheel steamer Sheerness, 2, 114 horse
power, employed on harbour service between
Chatham and Sheerness, after having been fitted
with new boilers and the new Lumley's steering
apparatus, was taken to the trial ground at Maplin
Sands for the purpose of testing her speed and steer-
ing qualities. The result as to speed was satisfac-
tory, the vessel making an average of nine knots per
hour. It was, however, to the trials made to test
her steering capabilities that the greatest interest
was attached, as testing the value of the Lumley
rudder. The Sheerness made the complete circle in
an average of 2 min. 40 sec., while with the paddle-
wheels disconnected, and one working ahead and
the other astern, the full circle could not be made
under nine minutes.

A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on
board her Majesty's ship Formidable, 84, flagship
of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Comman-
der-in-Chief at the Nore, for the trial of Sub-lieut.
Harry Lefevre Ryder, of her Majesty's screw frigate
Phaeton, 39, 400-horse power, Capt. G. L. Bow-
year, on a charge of having, on or about Sept. 23,
1864, twice struck Mr. J. C. Larcome, carpenter
of the said ship, and also with having, on or about
Dec. 23, 1864, struck Mr. G. L. L. Coste, midship-
man of the same ship. The Court was composed
of Capt. J. Fulford, of the Formidable, president ;
Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., Cumberland, 70; Capt.
the Hon. G. D. Keane, additional, of the Cumber-
land ; Commander F. H. Stevens, Wellesley, 72 ;
and Commander L. Gussen, Formidable. The
prisoner, who was assisted by his "friend " Mr.
Hoskens, Admiralty solicitor, Portsmouth, pleaded
" Not Guilty " to both charges. Mr. G. H. Knight,
of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Crown
solicitors, Rochester, officiated as Deputy Judge-
Advocate, and conducted the prosecution. On the
part of the prosecution nine witnesses were examined,
the prisoner after Wards putting in a written defence,
in which he urged that the blows alleged to have
been struck were inflicted at the time the parties
were all ." larking " with each other. He also
handed in a number of certificates of character.
The Court, after deliberating for a short time, con-
sidered both charges fully proven, and adjudged the
prisoner to forfeit one year's seniority, and to be
severely reprimanded.

Orders have been received at Chatham directing
the depot of the 81st Regiment to move from that
garrison to Gosport on Saturday next, to join the
service companies of the regiment on their arrival
from India.

The troops whose arrival we announced yesterday
in the troop ship Orontes, Capt. H. W. Hire, com-
menced their disembarcation at Portsmouth in the
morning. Those of the Royal Engineers, under the
command of Lieut. Lloyd, landed at the dockyard,
and proceeded by rail to join head-quarters at
Chatham. The head-quarters of the Royal Artillery,
under the command of Col. Graham, were landed
by Government steamers at the Royal Clarence-
yard and marched to the different forts at Gosport.
A few men of the late St. Helena Regiment were
landed at the dock, having volunteered to join the
22d, 52d, and 64th Regiments, while the officers and
rest of the men remained on board, and will land this
morning and be forwarded to the depot battalion at
Winchester. The military invalids were removed to
Netley Hospital bythe Sprightly, steam tender, Mas-
ter Commander Allen, under the charge of Lieut. Ar-
rowsmith and Dr. Roche. The Orontes only requires
her bottom to be cleaned and a few defects made
good when she will be ready for further service.
Previous to the officers and ladies leaving the ship
a desire was expressed by them to present Captain
Hire with a piece of plate as a token of the great
kindness evinced by him during the passage home,
but this he very graciously and respectfully, yet
positively, declined to accept, stating he needed not
such rewards when doing his duty. It was then
wished to make a suitable present in the shape of a
silver inkstand to Mrs. Hire ; this also he begged to
decline. The officers and ladies, however, deter-
mined that some memento should be handed to
Capt. Hire, decided on presenting an address to him,
in which they expressed their thanks for his kindness
and attention on the voyage home.
The 64th Regiment, under the command of Col.
Shute, left Portsmouth garrison yesterday evening,
and proceeded by two special trains to Manchester
and Chester, where they are to be quartered.
The depot of the 52d Regiment (Oxfordshire
Light having been inspected by Major-
Gen. Sir Infantry),
Robert
Walpole, K.C.8., will leave the
garrison at Chatham by special train on the South-
Eastern Railway this morning, and proceed to
Portsmouth, to join the service companies of.] the
regiment on their arrival from India. The 52d
Regiment embarked on the 30th of June, 1853, and
has consequently served nearly 12 years in India.
In the Indian mutiny it greatly distinguished itself,
the regiment, after being in numerous engagements
with the rebels, being one of these which was at the
