It appears by the Racing Calendar that Mrs. Os-
baldrston is determined not to allow her horses to be run
soy longer in the name of " the Squire" (Mr. o.baideaton).
This enterprising lady has entered a filly fu the o.kt at
the nut ItoriCAugust meeting in her own! name. The only
other lady who has thus appeared of late years as an owner
of nee bones is Moe. Massey. of Coventry.
It is understood that the Honourable the Court of
Directors hove, to a considerable extece, acceded to the
suggestions ecaveyed by the Bombay government, for
((realising the rank and furlough-pay of the Indian navy
with that of the military branch of the East India Curd*
pany's Fervid". These attentions will considerably increase
the forlough•pay of certain ranks in the Indian navy
