THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1857.

lffilltati Correspondence. To All it Sir HIIMMY
Sloane, 1.C.8., has been selected. This is an
appointment highly creditable to Lord Retstnas,
to whom General Swans was, it is stated, known
only by those eminent services which hate fixed
public ea well as official attention on the gallant
officer, and marked him out as a man likely to do
the state further service. Captain CATYIN, RN.,
at present Naval Director of Artillery, is
to be Director of Stores and Clothing, and
the salary attached to the former office, 1,20 W.
a year, is saved to the public. Mr. RAMSAY, who
has hitherto been Assistant Director-General of
Clothing, will be appointed Director of Stores and 1
Clothing, and will, in consequence of this arrange-
ment, undertake the other duties connected with the
army stores generally, in addition to those he has
hitherto performed.
The gallant Sir Trios. TROUBRIDOE ie to be removed
from the abolished office he has hitherto held to the
far more important one of Deputy Adjutant-General,
where, under the direction of his Royal Highness
the LIEVTENANT-GENEIRL COMMANDINO-IM-CIIIEY,
he will perform the multifarious duties connected
with the arrangements for accoutrements and neces-
saries supplied to the troops, and those purely mili-
tary duties formerly undertaken by the Board of
General Officers.
The effect of these arrangements will be to reduce
the staff and the cost of the War-office, to simplify
its organisation, to augment the responsibility of its
various': branches, to increase its working power,
and to place it more in accord with the other Secre-
tary of States' Departments. They have also, we
hear, rendered necessary considerable changes in the
personnel of the subordinate offices, where, too,
economy has been practised and the staff reduced.
Although not directly connected with this informa-
tion as to the War-Aloe, wo may add that it is gene-
rally believed that writs will be moved to-morrow
for Hertford, in consequence of Mr. WILLIAM
Comma having accepted the office of Vine-President
of the Committee of Privy Council on Education,
and for Limerick, vacant by Mr. MO:4BUL having
succeeded Mr. Cowers as President of the Board of
LONDON; TUESDAY; FEBRUARY 3. Health.
