GOOD CONDUCT WARRANT.

CHATHAM, Aug. 3.—The following warrant was re-
ceived on Thursday at Chatham, from the Horse Guards, ,
which does not in the least give sat'sfaction to the non-
commissioned officers of long standing in the army, and
they are greatly dissatisfied with it, viz. :
" VICTORIA, R.
" Whereas, by our Royal warrant of the Ist July,
1848, it is declared that the distinction and rewards for
good conduct shall not extend to serjeants and other
non-conneissioeed officers above the rank of corporal ;
and whereas it is further declared that corporals shall
not be entitled to have their good-conduct pay added to
their pension on discharge, but that they shall have the
option of having their pensions computed as privates,
either with the addition of good-conduct reward or
with the addition of one halfpenny per diem for
each year of service completed in the rank of corporal

serjeant major, Colour a rjeant, or sergeant, 2s, a day.
And whereas, by the fifth paragraph of the 21st clangs
of our said Royal warrant, of the Ist July, 1848, it is
declared that soldiers, who had enlisted before the 2d
March, 1833, shall not be entitled to have their good-
conduct pay added to their pension on discharge. Our
will. and pleasure further is, that all such soldiers, whe-
ther privates, corporals, serjeants, or other non-commis-
sioned above the rank of corporal, who, since the grant
of good-conduct pay, have been or may hereafter be dis-
charged, shall have the option of being pensioned for
service alone, without any consideration for good-conduct
pay, under the provision of the warrant of the 14th of
November, 1829, or of reckoning their good-conduct
pay, or good-conduct service, in addition to such rates
of pension as men of similar length of service, enlisted
after the Ist of March, 1833, would be entitled to under
the provisions and the warrant of the Ist of July, 1848 ;
provided, however, that the pension, except for wounds
received in action, shall in no case exceed, for a private,
ls. 3d.; for a corporal, ls. 6d.; for serjeant, troop ser-
jeant major, or colour serjeant, 25.; for a quartermaster
serjeant, 2s. 3d.; and for a serjeant major, 2s. 6d. a day.
