MALTA.

Letters from Malta of the 2Pd inst. state that the:
cholera was still prevailing there, and •though the
cases were not quite so numerous, the mortality was
as great as ever. The men and women of the 44th,
Regiment still suffered, and unfortunately not one,
attacked had been saved. The fleet was still cruising,
on and off the island, daily communications being
kept up by boats. The amount of deaths in the fleet'
was .t mall compared to those on shore, only fourteen:
having occurred out of more than 300 cases. The.
Admiral's third daughter was married on the 18th to
Lieutenant DAUGLARS, of the flag-ship.'

SUNDAY LETTER CARRIERS.—Some of the pas
sel,acrs, when they arrived at Southampton, on Sunday last
by le excursion train from London, immediately sent off
two carrier pigeons, with notes announcing their arrival safe
from railway accidents. The pigeons, as soon as they were
let go, ascended over the town of Southampton, and for A
few moments they kept darting towards all points of the
compass, and revelling apparently in the sunbeams that
were playing on Southampton water. In a very short time,
however, true to unerring instinct, they flew off rapidly in a
north-easterly direction towards the liArcrlia*
