MILITARY,

ROYAL AUSEXAL, WOOLWICH, Nov. 6.—A short time
since the Master General and Board of Ordnance issued an
order, requiring all military officers holding appointment, in
any of the departments of the Roved Arsenal, to reside
within the Arsenal. This order was issued with the view of
securing the attention of these officers at all hews, in the
"vent of any important communication issuing from the
Government that required immediate consideration. In
accordance with that order, the following officers have now
taken up their residence in the Arsenal :--Col. J. P. Cock-
burn, director of the royal laboratory department; Lieut.-
Col. W. B. Dundas, C. 8., Inspector of Artillery; Lieut.-
Col. J. A. Chalmer, assistant director-general of Artillery !
Lieut.-Col. Colquhoun, assistant director of the royal car-
riage department; and Capt. H. Palliser, assistant inspector
of Artillery. With the exception of those occupied by Sir
Thomas Downham, commandant of the garrison, and the
asaistant adjutantatencral, Col. J. E. Jones, the whole of the
quarters in the Royal Arsenal are now occupied by officers
holding appointments directly connected with the Arsenal.
In consequence of the immediate demand for the arma-
ments for the coast defences, the gunners of the Royal Artil-
lery are to be employed as labourers in the Royal Carriatre De-
partment. It has been suggested that many of the pensioners
resident in the district might be employed for this work, as
numb, rs of them are now existing upon very slender pit-
tances, and are still men in the vigour of life, and are already
deemed capable of being embodied as an infantry corps.
It is expected that an additional company of Royal Artil-
lery (making ten companies is ell) will be attached to each
battalion, and that this augmentation will take place almost
immediately. It was originally intended to form another
(or eleventh) battalion; but by adding a company to each
of the existing battalions, a larger augmentation of strength
will take place without entailing so large an expense,
as the expense of a staff establishment for another battalion
will be avoided.
THE Bagver.—The brevet so long expected by the ser-
vice will, it is understood, come out on the 9th of November
next, and the arrangements, of which the following, we are
informed, is an outline, will appear in the Casette of Tues-
day the 10th :—The Marquis of Anglesey, general of 1819, to
be field marshal ; Sir George Nugent, general of 1813, and
senior general of the army, to a similar rank; General S.
Grosvenor, general of 1819, to a similar rank. Lieutenant-
generals of 1830, and some of earlier rank, to be generals.
Amongst those entitled to promotion in this rank are—Sir
P. Maitland, Governor and Commander-in-Chief at the
Cape; Sir Colin Hafket, K.C.B. ; the Right Hon. Sir
Frederick Adam, &c. Major-generals of 1837 are to re.
ceive the rank of lieut.-generals. Such promotion', accord-
ing to usage, will vacate various staff appointments, includ-
ing the governorship of Jersey, the command
.of the South
western district, the command at the Isfauntria,&c. The
Marquis of Twceddale, Governor of Madras ; Sir Charles
Napier, Governor of Sciade ; Sir Edward Bowater, Sir
Frederick Trench, and Lord Salmon, wit, form part of the
batch promoted. Senior Colonels, and those of 1837, will
become Major-Generals. In this case the list will be a full
one. Captains of 1838 will be promoted to the rank of

Majors.
It is reported that there are upwards of twenty-►ix appli-
cations at present before the Commander-in-Chief for the
office of Inspector of the Recruiting District at Bristol,
vacant by the demise of Lord John Somerset

Tun ROTA!. Sraouorsns.—ln consequence of the extremely heavy
fog which bung over Uxbridge Common, where the meet took place
yesterday morning, it was fully expoeted that the hunt would have
been postponed. Upwards of SOO. however, being at the meet, in-
cluding Lord Anson, Captain Seymour, Messra. Cox, Worley, fee.,
and a great number of ors from Windsor, Hounslow, and (lamp-
ton Court, the Earl Granville, in order that the large field which had
assembled should not he disappointed, had the deer, which was On
untried one, uncarted shortly alter 12 o'clock, having waited till that
hour in the vain hone that the fog would have cleared off. L'pon the
deer being turned out in Long-lane, it took away to Tokenham-marsh,
and there headed back to Pole-hill, again to Tirkenharn, crossing Mr.
Newilegate'e farm, on nearly to Haretleld, circling to the left to Den-
ham-marsh, and taken in the Canal, after a run :during which there
were lots of spills and duckings) of about an hour. Ase and deer,
the celebrated Roil' O'More, was in the deer-cart, ready to be turned
out. Another run, however, in consequence of the increasing density
of the Sag, being considered neither safe nor expedient for either bipeds
and quadrupeds, the bounds were taken back to the kennel. Mon-
- —ur has bean land for Brasknall.
