qualified themselves by nu years' service in the rank of
regimental field ,oilicer, will only receive the honorary poet-
Son of major-general with the half-pay of their Met regi-
mental rank. Together with the generals now on the het
in a similar position they will be lorthed into another list
separate from that of the effective end supernumerary
generals.
The new supernumerary list of generals will consist of
Major-Generals C. Windham, C. 8., Sir John Inglis,
K.C.8., bir James Hope Grant, K.C.8., Sir W. R. Mans-
field, K.C.8., Sir T. H. Franks, K C. 8., and Sir Edward
lagard, K.C.B. All three officers have been promoted • out
of their turn for distinguished services in the field. They
will remain on the supernumerary list until such time
as they would become meior-generals by seniority, when
they will be transferred to the establishment as vaeancies
occur. They retain all the pay and adv.intages wing
from their earlier promotion for distinguished service, with-
' out impeding the promotion of their seniors, as was the case
under the warrant of 1854.

The following lieutenant-colonels, who attained that tankprior to the 2Otn of Jute, 1854, when the warrant of that
year waa made to take effect, will be promoted to the rank
of full colonel. Those officers, along with many others pow
on the colonels list, have been "lumped over," in edam-
gamut of the qualifying clitueor of the warrant of 1854,
which gave every lientremat-colonal the rank of 001001111
immediately on his completing three year. c outland of a
regiment, we three years spent la certain Waif situations.
The list will now. be re-aranged, so that all toe lieutenant-
colonels commissioned as sub prior to June 20, 1854, will
stand on the colonels' list In the pone relative position occu-
pied by them as lieutenant-colonels before that date. This
wdl be done by special brevet, dated November 28, 1854,
after which the "yawing over" eye, em couowead. Be-
sides the replacement of the colonels since promoted, the
following, who are still lieutenant-colonels, will be pads
colonels of the 28th of November, 1854 Barden

Tlie following 26 majors will also (though probably not at
once) be promoted to be lieutanant-colooels in succession
to the same number of effective colonels appointed major-
generale on the establishment—viz., Mayors T. Lillie,
Ceylon Rifles ; M. G. Adams, G. F. Murray, 65th Regi-

went; Thomas Rosa, 73rd Regiment; B. liarrioun,tl
Hussars; Albert Watson, F. J. rhino; and Wyndham
Bowes, 73rd Regiment.
The above does not include the promotions in the 'Ord-
nance corps, which will also be affected swooshes by the
warrant. It will serve to show, however, the considerable
changes created in the higher ranks among the allows of the
Cavalry, Guards, and Line. Several sniff appal:inmate will
be at once rendered vatmat, among which we may waitron
them of Inspector of Militia, Commandant at Hytlie, Inspect-
ing Field-Offioer in Dublin, Commandant of Royal Military
Asylum, and Assistent Adjacent-General in Scotland; be-
sides which, promotions without purchase will go through
all ranks In the Coldstream Gouda, 10th, 37th, 58th, 83rd,
87th, and 99th Reginsents.—Timer.
