THE _NAVY.

The following letter is dated Valletta, February
22 :

" Her Majesty's line-of-battle ship Marlborough, Capt.
W. H. Stewart, C.D. (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral T.
Martin, the Commander-in-Chief), arrived at this island on
Sunday from Corfu. After taking in provision's and water
she left yesterday for England, steaming out of port. The
Admiral had previously shifted his flag to the Casar. On
passing the vessels of war in harbour the crews manned the
rigging of their respective ships, and gave three hearty
cheers, at the same time dipping their ensigns. The Marl-
borough returned the compliment in the usual manner.
The crew of the Russian corvette Sokol, Capt. Aslanbeyoff,
which vessel arrived here on the 19th inst. from the Pirmus,
seemed to enjoy the little excitement the event afforded ex-
ceedingly, for on the Marlborough passing her the Russian
sailors manned the rigging of their vessel, and cheered
lustily,which was returned in true British style. The Marl-
borough on arrival in England will receive, it is said, an
armament of Armstrong guns. The Admiral will reside
here during the remainder of the winter, unless anything
extraordinary should call him away. Her Majesty's gunboat
Assurance, Commander Aynsley, returned from Corfu yes-
terday, with dates from that island to the 19th instant. No
change had taken place in the distribution of the squadron in
those waters. Her Majesty's ships Queen, Agamemnon, and
Mars, and the corvette Scourge were still at Corfu. The
London had not returned from Patras, nor the. Neptune
from Athens. As long as the Admiral continues at Malta
it is understood that a fortnightly communication, instead
of a weekly one is to be maintained with Corfu. The As-
surance will take up the English mail expected to-night,
and will remain for the present on that station. The gun-
boat Foxhound will proceed to Palermo and Naples, and

Her Majesty's ships Exmouth and Renown, now at Malta,
are under orders to proceed to Naples. The Renown is
undergoing some repairs to her rudder, and will not be
ready, it is expected, in less than a week. The only ships
in port of which mention has not been made are the Hiber-

The Biter gunboat arrived in Portsmouth harbour
yesterday morning from Portland.

The Royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert has
been undocked at Portsmouth, and placed in the
steam basin for masting. The Osborne, paddle
yacht, was afterwards placed in the same dock from
which the Victoria and Albert has been removed.
The Icarus, 11, screw, Commander N. Salmon,
V.C., is stripping alongside the sheer jetty of Ports-
mouth dockyard for a refit for further service.
The Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain Fellows,
fitting at Portsmouth for the flag of Rear-Admiral
Smart, K.H , Commander-in-Chief of the Channel
Fleet, has sent up top-gallant yards, and is ready
for bending sails. She is, however, not yet quite
complete at the hands of the shipwright depart-
ment. _ _

The repairs of the Eurydice, sailing frigate, and
the Tribune, screw frigate, in Portsmouth dockyard,
are being slowly carried out, the former afloat in
the old ship basin, and the latter in No. 5 dock.
The whole strength of the yard at the present time
is concentrated upon the Glasgow, 51, screw frigate,
ordered for launching on the 28th pros., and the
Prince Regent, 90, converting to a screw liner, and
to be completed by the end of the present financial
year.
The screw steam transport Himalaya, Captlin
John Seecornbe, was completing with coal yester-
day afternoon at Plymouth. Her fires were lit,
and it was expected that she would leave shortly
for Sheerness.

The screw steam gunvessel Pantaloon, 11, was
hauled yesterday into the south basin at Keyham
stearnyard, to have her coppering completed.
The screw steam gunboat Spider, having received
a thorough repair, got up steam yesterday, and
proceeded from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound, to
try her machinery.
The screw steam gunvessel Flyingfisb, 6, Com-
mander Hope, was appointed to leave Plymouth
Sound yesterday afternoon with supernumeraries
for Portsmouth.

At Devonport there are various rumours regard-
ing the fate of the screw steamship Royal Albert,
121. Some contend that she will be cut down ;
others that she is so much decayed as to be not
worth repairing.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—John Roberts, acting chief
engineer, to the Cossack ; William E. Fitzgerald,
mate, to the Trafalgar ; Seymour S. Smith, mate,
to the Nile, additional for service in the Nimble ;

master in charge, to the Isis. Mr. Benjamin D.

of master.

THE RECENT BURGLARIES AT MANCHESTER.—
A correspondent at Manchester says that the statement re-
cently published of the great increase of burglaries and
house robberies in that city is quite true, and that there is
reason to believe that the allegation of their being about
300 ticket-of-leave men and returned convicts located there
is also a fact. The reasons assigned for this state of things
by those most intimately connected with the working of the
criminal law, are the change which has taken place in the
law by which short periods of penal servitude are substitu-
ted for longer terms of transportation beyond seas, and tha
great reduction made in the allowances to witnesses who
have to attend the courts of sessions and assize.
Parian Statuettes arc illustrations of the perfection pro-
duced by untiring perseverance in removing defects in manu-
facture. So also are Herring's magnetic brushes and combs,
which are now rendered so perfect,',.in restoring the colour to
grey hair, and eradicating the agony of neuralgia and nervous
headache, that failure is almost impossible. N.B.—Counter-
felts are being made. Offices, 32, Basing-hall-street, London.
