A question having arisen with reference to the Memo randum of the 16th February last, as to the manner in which the amount of the Surgeon's Mess and Band Sub scriptions is to he calculated, the General Commanding-in- Chief desires it may be understood, that the calcUlation in all cases of an officer's first appointment or subsequent pro motion is to be formed upon the original net pay of the rank, without reference to the increase resulting from length of service, but that the annual contribution is to be governed by the rate of pay actually received by the indi vidual at the time.
