We have advices from our Malta correspondent
to the 40 Obt., announcing that her Majesty's
screw •sieam lino-of-battle 'ship the Conqueror,
bound thither, had been fallen in .with under can-
a-aei, on the 2Sth of Sept., by the Alps steamer; 200
miles eastward of Gibraltar.
The movements of screw &Tamers at Malta be-
tween the Ist and the 4th, with general cargoes,
were those of the Alps from Liverpool and Gibral-
tar, for Syr3, Con,tantinople, and Smyrna, having
on. board among other passengers Mr. Hornby,..the
newly appointed British Judge atConstantinople ;
the Scaniander, from Liverpool, for Alexandria ;
the Damascus, from Constantinople, Smyrna, and
Alexandria, for Tunis, Gibraltar, and Liverpool ;
the Madinina (French), from Tunis for Liverpool.
Capt. Waller and Lieut. Tracey, in command of
a detachment of Capt. Thring's and-Cipt. Calvert's-
companies of. the Royal . Artillery, , consisting of
.sergeant, .1 bombardier, and 9 gunners, left'Wool-
wich yesterday morning in charge of the baggage
of the two companies about to proceed by the over-
land route. to India, to be shipped on board the
'Aiistralas'an steamer at Southampton for Alexan-
dria. Eleven artillery waggons laden with ammu-
nition were likewise despatched from. Woolwich
Arsenal. to .be forwarded under the same escort
from fin Nine Elms station. The troops are under
orders to leave the garrison at an early hour'.on
Sunday, morning so as to enable the Au4ralasiatt
to sail,, as already arranged, on the following day,

The battalions of Royal Marine Light Infantry
being several it uudred,men below their proper esta-
blishment recrui•ing for that branch of the service
is activoly proceeiing. The Lor Is of the Adininalty
have ordered the standard to be reduced to 5 feet
6 inches, and, should the authorities de'ermine on
sending out an additional force of 1,000 Royal Ma-
tines to India, as has been proposed, the standard
will be further lowered to that of the Dina regi-
ments. At the pr-seat moment the four divisions
of Royal Marines, at Chatham, Portsmouth, Ply-
mouth, and Woolwich, could supply 1,000 men,
who are among the finest troops in the whole ser-
vice,
for India, exclusive of the proper proportion
of Royal Marine Artillery.
With the view of affording extended accommoda-
tion for a large number of officers and troops who
will be concentrated at Chatham for the put pose of
reinforc'ng the British leg,iMents serving in India,
the authorities have it in contemplation to erect
commodious :barracks on the_ ground adjacent to
Fort Pitt, Chatham, so as to provide additional
barrack accommodation at that garris jn for several
thousand more troops, Who are to be attached to
-the Indian battalion recently formed there. This
st It has been rendered necessary in order that the
whole of the Indian troop+ should be thoroughly
acquainted with the practical part of their duties
before embarking to Join the service companies of
their respective corps. A large bum will be ex-
pended during the ensuing year in erecting sepa-
rate quarters for the married soldiers of the line at

Chatham garrison, the amount alreqdy granted for
that purpose having been appropriated in building
separate rooms for the married non-comm'ssioned
officers and men of the Royal Engineers at Bromp-
ton Barracks.

BOTANIC REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.—The attention
of our readers is requested to an adveraQement in our
paper headed "A Fact for Phy.iologiets," in which the
Nottingham Medical Reform Society propose to send
free to all applicants the Botanic Remedy for.lodiges-
tion, Bilious and Liver Complaints, lately discovered by
Professor Webster, of Philadelphia.
[ADVERTISEMENT.}—Medicine always aggravates chronic dis-
eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them
in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand
expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowag
