March 6th, at Malta, Dr. Martin, Deputy Inspector of Hospitals. Extract of a letter received from Malta, dated 7th March, 1843.-"I write hurriedly, in the Admiral's Office, to acquaint you of the melancholy death of poor Dr. Martin, under circum. stances of great atrocity. Yesterday, at noon, he paid a professional visit to the AdmiralSuperintendent at the Dockyard, and when in the act of stepping into his boat, the sentry one of the 88th Regt., deliberately shot him. The bullet entered a little above the right kidney, which it lacerated to atoms, passed transversely through the abdomen, dividing in its course two folds of the intestine, and made its exit on the left of the umbilicus. The poor victim only survived the wound about threequarters of an hour, and appeared to suffer much."
