hes been pleased to appoint Thomas T. Grant, Eeq.,
the late cove of the viotualling department of the

to be a K.C.B.lrhere are few mon who have more
won thisdistinction. Mr. Grant gassed between 40 end
years in the public service. Thirt years ago he invested
his biscuit machinery, which has o for him a lerr
reputation, and which during the lets war was found to be
of such inestimable use In supplying the enormous require-
ments of our fiesta, and of the army in the Crimea, white
latter service was, we believe we an correct in stating, tan
gashed with upwards of 10,000 tons of biscuit ; and more rr
mutts, by his ingenuity, he devised the plan now unirenally
adopted in the royal navy, and which is extenrively used to
the merchant service, of converting salt water Into fresh, by
which he has conferred upon the marine of this country me
of the greatest boons it ever received. A ship fitted with this
apparatus is now able, not only to make a voyage, without
reference to the quantity of water the can stow, but the
health of the melt Mu been immeasurably improved, by their
being at all times able to obtain an unlimited supply alibi
