THE STAFF COLLEGE EXAMINATIONS.

The following has bees transmitted to us for pub-
lication. It would have been more satisfactory to
learn that the names of all the candidates, with the
number of marks obtained by each, were to be pub-
lished:

" The reason why fifteen students only were ad-
mitted into the Staff College at the recent examima-
tion wu, that there were only fifteen vacancies.
The Horse Guards' Memorandum of 17th Dec., 1837,
containing the regulations of the Staff College,
stated that the name of the " Senior Department of
the it. M. College at Sandhurst' was to be changed
to that of " Staff College," which would consist at
first of thirty students. At the date of this Memo-
randum the Senior Department already contained
fifteen students. These students, as a matter of
course, became a portion of the Staff College, in
which, therefor., there remained onl fifteen places
to be filled up at the date of the recent' examination."
