MALTA.

MALTA, APRIL 15.—The Polyphemus left on the 11th inst.
for Naples, conveying there the, distinguished Hindu°, the
Dwarkanauth Tajore, on his way to England. Whilst here this
gentleman displayed his usual liberality in donations to the chari-
ties of the island ; he presented the infant school with eighty
Spanish dollars. The Ottoman schooner GIN! Sofit left also
far Tripoli on the llth inst. The Formidable will leave Gib-
ra on the arrival of the Belvidera. The Indus, the Lynx,
and the Ithadamanthus were lying at Lisbon on the 21st
ult. The ( Great) Liverpool arrived on the evening of
the 12th instant, and awaits the Alecto from Alarseilles,
before leaving for Alexandria. The Neapolitan steamer
Francesco Imo arrived on the 13th instant, from
Sicily and Naples, and returns to-day. The annual
regatta begins on the 19th instant, and continues the two
fo lowing (Lys. The petty officer of her Majesty's ship Cam-
bridge, who murdered the boy; and was condemned to be
hung, is to go to England by the brig Weazle, which to sail
in a few days. The sentence was to this effect—" To be hung
on board her Majesty's ship Cawbridge, or one other ef
Majesty's ships, at the pleasure of the Admiralty." . It is fer-
vently hoped that the good practice of making up mails by her
Majesty's steamers of war will he continued. We cannot too
much praise Sir Francis Mason for having afforded this facility
to the commerce of the island. We hear that Sir Fiancit is
to remain cn this station ant superintend all the dock-yard
affairs, thus relieving the Commander-in-Chief of the more
onerous duties.

The Malta spring races terminated yesterday, and went off
o ith great spirit.

BREMEN, APRIL 19.—The Tribunal of the Ist instant, in
the preeeeding4 against Captain Sudenburg, of the Bremen
ship Julius and Edward, which, on its voyage from the Ha-
varmah to Cabonda, on the west coast of Africa, with a cargo
taken on board at the fo-riner place, was captured by the
EngLsh 13ritish cruizer Persian, commander Thomas Edward
Symonds, 11:.s dreided that there were no sufficient grounds for
the accusation against the Captain of being engaged in the
slave trade, that ship and cargo shall be placed at the disposal
of Captain Suderiburg, and has condemned Captain Symonds,
in damages and ail the costs, the am mint of which is to be
settled by the Court. A summons is to be issued requiring.
Captain Symonds to appear and stare why the sentence
should not be carried iftto effect; in deatult of which he wil
he considered as de,eriing from all objections to the amount
of damages and costs which will he awarded by the Court.—

I.'r.e3day night a publie meeting was held at the Hol-
born Chapel-room, Holborn, when Dr. Baldaconi was in the
Chair, and it was resolved, that the Catholic Institute for the
Lincoln's Inn District should be re-organised. A petition was
also signed for permission for Roman Catholic Ministers to visit
prisoners and persons in Union-Aorkhouses, the Army and
Navy, and the Military and Naval Schools.
We must, it seems, swallow the Income-tax of the
quack doctor., . How it, will sit on the stomach of the nation
remains to be proved. We predict that. it will not be found
very easy of dige,ticn, when once it begins to operate; and if
the nation it not sickened by the impost, ere a twelvemonth,
pass over our heads, as to make it throw off both it and its
author, we shall forfeit our repu'a•ion in the prophetic line.—
