MALTA.
Admiral Fanshawe is in the offing with
liners ; two others are in port.
We find the following in the Malta Time" of the
~d
10th :—" We learn from England that a 1111°u-01
heavy guns and a hundred thousand shot and shell
are coming out for tho further armament d the ted
island. Great changes in the works are exPea
to be made by the commissioners Colonel Owe!'
Artll
Royal Engineers, and Colonel Lefroy, BeY-
al -
lery, who are at present here examining the fore
cations. We understand that whatever inlPr°Til
ments they suggest are to be carried out immediately
without reference to home. Floriana is already beln6
.f
armed with heavy guns, with the exception of I°o
,1
Crown and Horn works, which are both consider:
as entirely useless, being commanded by the sui
rounding heights. The. report which has found
e
circulation and publication till
here, regarding _
projected arming of Civitta Vecchia with orclan2l7,
is unfounded. But we believe there is some trill:
in the rumour that it is in contemplation to sell"
a regiment there, owing to the want of acconn;
dation in Valetta and its neighbourhood for t t
four regiments on their way here. It is said tbil
a regiment is likely to be sent to Gozo."

prisonment for misdemeanour on information being Oven
of the existence of any such contract. This decision e?.:
plies equally to vessels chartered before or subsequeutlf;
the issue of the recent proclamation. The Mauritiu,
steamer lately chartered, and now lying at Southainge,
will therefore be unable to clear. The provisions off
aor
contract in that instance include a penalty of £loollf,—orce_d.,
non-fulfilment ; but this, of course, ciamot be
since the contract itself is pronounced. illegal. There,rei
several other cases of charters for similar purposes, Wu'
in like manner will have to be abando,
