MALTA.

We have received Malta papers to the 7th instant, but they
contain no intelligence from the Levant of more recent date
than our last. Ihe following shipping news is given by the
Malta Times :

" The Implacable, 74, and Beacon, surveying vessels, have
returned from Syracuse, where they took in a supply of water,
the former on the 3d and the latter on the 2d inst. The Edin-
burgh, 74, it is expected, will sail to-morrow for Syracuse, for
a supply of water, and thence proceed to Alexandria. The
Hydra steam frigate took her departure on the 3d instant
for Marmorice, with despatches and letters for the fleet,
arrived by the London mail of the 13th ult. The Me-
gwra, steam-packet, arrived from Gibraltar on the Ist inst.,
with the London mail of 10th ult. The City of Dublin, con-
tract steamer, arrived on the 3d inst. with mails from the
lonian Is'ands and Greece; those for Gibraltar and Eng-
land mu-t remain here till the 15th inst., as they arrived
after the departure of the Great Liverpool; the City of
Dublin having been seven instead of three days on her
passage from Corfu, she was obliged to put into Syracuse
for a supply of fire-wood, having consumed all her coals.
The Asia, 84, and Pique, 36, were fallen in with by the
Alegtera on the 24th ult., the former forty and the latter thirty
miles to the eastward of Gibraltar, where they would
probably arrive on the following day. The Sapphire troop-
ship, which left Malta on the 23d of January with part of the
59th Regiment, bound to Barbadoes, arrived at Gibraltar on
the 24th ult. The Athol troop-ship, with the remainder of
this regiment, took her second departure hence, on the 2d
instant, for Barhadoes. The Benbow, 72, is expected from
Beyrout."
A report wes current at Malta that Admiral Sir Robert
Stopford contemplates breaking up his establishn ent there
about the 20th instant, before which he expects to receive
permission from England to retire from his command in the
Mediterranean.

The Howe will be the new flag-ship, but the new Corn-
mander-in-Chief is not yet officially named.

SPORTS OF THE FIELD ! !—Last Monday a
fine buck was turned out at Two-pot House before the
bounds of George Crofts, Esq., of Streamhill, county of
Cork, and a large field of gentlemen. After a splendid
run the aniraal was captured at Balli ellis. Immediately
after the buck aas ran in to, two gentlemen sot to beating
each other with their loaded whips', their horses going at
top speed until the belligerents grappled each other and
fell on the field. The horses ran wild for a long dis-
!arce, while their riders were stretched on the ground
kicking and thump'ng each other, having dropped their
whips. Richard Hill, 111., J. P., of Doneraile, how.
ever, came up, and with the assistance of a number of gee-
emen and countrymen arrested the parties and took Mum
into Doneraile, %here they were bound over t 3 keep the
peace.
DOVER, MARCII 19.—The 34th depot station-
ed at the Castle have received orders to hold themselves in
readiness to leave this garrison for Portsmouth early in the
slimmer. They ire to be relieved by the 6th depot from Chat-
ham. The Gth regiment is now on its passage home from
India, and is expected to land and remain at Dover. The
54th regiment stationed at the heights have also received orders
to hold themselves in readiness to leave this garrison for
Weedon, early in April next. What corps is to relieve the
54th is not known. We regret that this fine regiment with
its excellent band are to leave us so soon, both officers and
teen being endeared to the affections of the inhabitants by a
mutual interchange of friendly feeling and social intercourse.
The regiment, though it has been only five monthi here, and
rotaithstanding the inclement weather, has made very con-
siderable progress in military discipline and appearance,
