—This general officer, who died on the 26th ult., entered
the army, in January, 1788, as an ensign la the 57th Foot
la 1794, Limit. Paterson served in the 21st Foot in the
West Indies, and was present at the taking of the several
islands from the French. Albs:wards be served in Ireland.
lo 1810 he served in Sicily, under the Iwo Lord William
Bentinck. Subsequently Col. Paterson served in America,
end we. presets. at several 000rstioas ir. the Chempeak ; he
moompeusied the expedition against New Orleans, where,
gallantly leading his regiment to the assault, he was severely
wounded. In 1832 be was created a Haight Commander of
the Hanoverian Guelphie Order. He had for many years
hold the appointment of oarain of Cmisbrook Castle, con-
ferred upon him by the late Disks of York. This appoint-
ment will not be filled up by any successor.
ENORMOUS Innalumienn.—lt is said in queen likely to
be accurately informed upon the subject, that Lieutenant-
Colonel Gold, her Majesty's 4th (King's Own) regiment,
now stationed at Portsmouth, will probably come into pos-
session of the enormous wealth left by Mr. Charles Bailee,
the late banker of Liverpool. The property is said to amount
to between five and six millions sterling.—United Service
assess.

STAPP OFTICIRS cr PIINSIONtIe —lt Is understood that
the Becretaryat-War has referred the memorial to which we
*Unclad last week to his Grace the Commander in.Chielt,
with whom rests the solution of the question of the appor-
tionment of rank to the subaltern staff officers. It is doubt-
ful, however, if the Duke can do anything in the matter,
however willing he may be, without the furthcr authority
of a special warrant. It will thus remain with the Secretary-
at-War to recommend arch warrant to her Majesty. end
there can be little doubt that Mr. Fox Mauls will readily
exert himself on this point. He never had a more deserviug
body of officers to serve.
PORTIMIGUTII, BiPT 30.—The portion of the 77th Regi-
ment seat over to Gosport some time since from this garri-

wood, in Southampton Water, is entirely Riven up, and the
lands sad buildings are advertised to be let.
