LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 0, 1864.

The manner in which our military and nava
prize money is distributed, or rather not distri•
buted, has long been a standing grievance to the
members of both services. The question has often
been mooted in Parliament, and neither the press
nor the public has spared its censures, but the
matter remains in the old state. Notwithstanding
our army of officials, our countless clerks and
assistants, our well-paid heads of departments and
their numerous train of subordinates, it remains
an effiir of years instead of weeks to make out a
simple calculation, and to distribute a limited sum
among a limited number of claimants. It is now
seven years since the capture of Dhar Fort, in
which feat about 2,000 men were concerned—no
very great number for a subdivision. It is lucky
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer gets on a
little faster with his calculations, or we should
be this year considering the budget of 1820. But
the authorities have at length succeeded in Eke_
complishirg a large part of their formidable un-
dertaking. In December, 1562, her AI ajesty'e
warrant was issued for payment of the Dhar
pr ize money. In the May following it was paid
out to those who were entitled to it in India, to
that one would naturally suppose the businesa was
nearly done. But it was necessary to pause after
so great and continuous an effort, arid accordingly
some hundreds of the men interested who are now
in England have not yet received their money. Day
after day, and month after mon tb, have they looked
for it with the weariness of hope deferred, but as
yet they cannot even learn when they are likely to
get it. They are told on, applying at the War
Office that the returns fire not yet received, but
that when they are the money will be paid. With
whom lies the blame this delay ? If the warrant
was issued nearly two years ago there is certainly
no excuse on the ground of inability. If the
money has already been paid 'Lo the men in India, it
must be known what each share amounts to; in
fact, that knowledge has already reached the ex-
pectante, who have ascertained that each private's
share is over £lo—no inconsiderable sum to a man
in humble life. Some of them have left the service
on account of wounds, enfeebled health, &c,, and
many of these find it a hard matter to obtain erne
pleyment. Such a sum as this would put them
in the way of gaining a living, and would in any
case be most acceptable. When we remember the
frightful revelations of the Commission as to
the mortality and sickness among our troops
in India we shall feel it especially incumbent on
us to ace that the men have all the advantages that
they have fairly earned in the course of that service
which has cost them so much. A private soldier
w hose health has been brokea by his term of service
iu Ladle, end who, if he survives to reach this
country is nevertheless invalided for life, ma;
