Major Shaw, and the garrison Staff. Passing down
the lines, the Colonel addressed the men individ-
ually, and inquired if they had any complaints to

the negative. The appearance of the troops indi-
cated the most perfect health, and superior military
deportment. Each company consists of 2 captains,
2 field lieutenants, 1 surgeon, 14 non-commissioned
officers, and 128 gunners. No transport ship has

MALTA, MARCH 18.
Her Majesty's ship Cressy returned on the 12th,
having carried away 11.-,r main-yard ; she left the
Majestic beating again-t an adverse gale. The
Cressy repaired her damages and sailed for England
on the L'it.h. On the 11th, during a gale, a fishing
lylat with six Maltese was blown off the island ;
they were seen from the signal tower, distant three
miles. Her Majesty's ship Shearwater was rent
Ow a little.after three o'clock p.m. to pick them
up, but returned at about nine unsuccessful,- the
commander stating it was; he believed impossible
for any boat to live in such a sea. Fortunately,
however, they were picked up next' morninc,
at two o'clock a.m., by the barque Syria, Capt.
Lane, 40 miles S.E of the island. • It blew
very hlrd all through the Mediterranean, and many.
vEssels had to put back, among them the steamer
Powerful, which ran back to Athens for shelter.
She arrived. at Malta yesterday. Her Majesty's
ship Magicienne is to leave for the Pacific on Mon-
day
next. Her Majesty's ship Arid is now sta-
tioned at , the Pincus. Her Majesty's ship Royal
Albert was to leava Constantinople on the 24th,
calling at Smyrna and Athens on her route to
Malta.

are suffering ft arfully through the dearness of pro-

There is talk of sending some of the regiments

contrary effect, fur it is by the money spent by the
navy and army that the poor of Nal-Fled' to live.

THE BRITISH- MINISTER'S A DDRESS TO THE
ENGLIS ?ROW'S ON THEIR DEPARTURE
FROM GREECE.

(Prom a Correspondent of the Morning Post.)
• ATHENS MARCH 11.
As y. u are already- aware, the Anglo-French

troops have now left-us, and the Government of
King Otto, which complained so much about the
humiliation which the presence of this force cre
cd, is now free_ to put iti plans into exe3ution. The
Court journal already advooates the destruction of
the court tution, and the Court wants to disperse the
Senate as a preliminary step. But this cannot be
(lone legally, and the King is not sure of his game.
We all regret the departure of the Anglo-French
forces for personal motives,• but not for po'iticol
reason. The King and his Government now stand
alone, face to face with the pcopTe, and grave re-
sults will occur if his Majesty attempts to put in
practice his anti-constitutional wishes. Everything
at present is quiet, and we have no news worth re-
lating. During tie occupation Mr. Wyse, her
Britannia Majesty's representative, has had a very
difficult task to perform, and he has accomplished
it with dignity and honour. Like the French
authorities, he kept clear of the intrigues of the
Court. It is a remarkable fact that neither the
French nor British officers made their conge at
Court before leaving. The following is the address
of Mr. Wyse to the British forces on their de-
parturo :
"Officers and Men of the 9let,—T_ have witnes=cd

your evolutions to-day wish the satisfaction which every
one must always feel in seeing the exercises of British
troops, amongst whom I need not eay your regimeLt
holds a distinguished place for efficiency and discipline.
But you have other claims to praise of a special nature.
A. British force has now occupied, in conjunction wiAi
their French allies, this country for nearly three years—
not invited, and yet not in the territory of an enemy—
a difficult and often a very delicate position, requiring
much firmness and circumspection. Both these quali-

ties you have equally exhibited. Yon and the regiments
which have preceded you have successfully accomplished
the ta,k for which you were sent here, and you have
accomplished it in the manner in which brave men
would naturally have accomplished it. Whatever may
have been the misapprehensions with which you were
received, you have vanquished them, and won, by pure
force of good conduct and respect for others, the esteem
and regard of the most reluctant. You have met
from the inhabitants many acts of kindness and good-
will, and in return I am as proud as yourselves to say
that not a single complaint has reached me of wrong
done to person or property, or of any act which, between
you and the inhabitants, could produce dissension or even
disturbance. To this praise, high and deserved as it is I
have to add another. You landed here not alone. You
came with our French allies by your side. With them, I
need not say, you have lived, as well as those who went
before you, as brothers. Your remembrance of the time
you have passed together must be one ofconttnued harmony
and mutual good feeling, without a word or deed for a
single day to interrupt it. In a word, the occupation of
Greece stands, I believe, unexampled in the history of oc-
cupations. It is an instructive example and lesson to all
within its influcnce. But as we are now soon about to part,
I cannot take leave of you without pain as well as pleasure
I have only to add my sincere wishestbatyou may continue
to add to the honours you have already acquired, and
maintain everywhere, as here, that highest boast of the
British soldier—respect for the law and consideration
for others. May you ever be united, as you now are,
with our French friends, so worthily represented around
me—(Admiral Count Bouet Willatimez, M. Mercier,
and others of the French military and naval services and
the French Legation, were present); and as you have
been all this time but one camp, as we of the civil ser-
vice have been but one legation, may you keep for years
yet to come this union, so fortunate for all, indissoluble.
You came here arrx-in-aim, and arm-in-arm I am glad
to see both officers and men, men and officers, of the two
nations now departing. Expressing anew my own per-
sonal acknowledgments, and, I may venture to add,
those of our Governments, for your conduct, I wish you
each and all, with all my heart, a happy journey to your
destination and all manner of prosperity. '

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN AT CHARING
OROSS.—Yes terday afternoon information was for warded
to the coroner for Westminster of a most frightful occur-
rence at Charing-cross. It seems that an elderly gentlq-
man was waiting near the Duke of Northumberland's
for a Clapham omnibus, when a Westminster omnibus,
that had been taking up and setting down passengers,
suddenly started to proceed down Parliament-street,
just at the same moment as the unfortunate deCeased
stepped off the foot-path to cross the road immediately
in front of the horses. The result was that, being down
an incline, the driver was unable to pull up, the unfor-
tunate man was instantly knocked down, both wheels':
passing over the abdomen, squeezing out the bowels,
and presenting a most shocking spectacle.
