MALT A.

MALTA, APRIL 15.—The Polyph,-mus left on the 11th foe.
for 'Naples, conveying there the distinguished Hindoo, the
Dwarkanauth 'rajOre, on his way to England. Whilst here 10
gentleman displayed his usual liberality in donations to the chari'
ties of the island ; he presented the infant school with eight,'
Spanish dollars. The Ottoman schooner Gliul Sofit left also
fcr Tripoli on the I lth inst. The Formidable will leave Gib-
raltar on the arrival of the Belvidere. The Indus, the Lynx,
alai the IThadamanthus were lying at Lisbon on the 11°
ult. The (Great) Liverpool arrived on the evening_ of
the 12th instant, and awaits the Alecto from A/arsenic*
before leaving 'for Alexandria. The Neapolitan 'steamer
Francesco Imo arrived on the 13th instant, from
Sicily and Naples, and returns to-day. The alum"'
regatta begins on the 19th instant, and continues the two
fo lowing days. The petty officer of her Majesty's ship COP
bridge, who murdered the boy, and was condemned to he
hung, is to go to England by the brig Weazle, which is to Su
in a few days. The sentence was to this effect—" To be hest
on board her Majesty's ship Cambridge, or one other of b 4
Majesty's ships, at the pleasure of the Admiralty." It is fer'
veal), hoped that the good practice of making lip mails by her
Majesty's steamers of war will be continued. We cannot too
much praise Sir Francis Mason for having afforded this facility
to the commerce of the island. We hear that Sir Franci, is
to remain on this station and superintend all the dock-)10'
affairs, thus relieving the Commander-in-Chief of the note
onerous duties.

The Malta spring races terminated yesterday, and went 011
with great spirit.
