THE understand that it is intended by
the Government to abandon :ho plan of forming Corps
of Local Militia, and to place tile regular Militia in an
efficient state, by completing the establishment of each
regiment by ballot.
STAFF OFFICERS OF PENSIONERS.—The increase in
the number of Staff officers of pensioners will take place
from the Ist of April; Plymouth will be increased from
tR to throe officers, and Belfast will have an additional
on.
'rho Commissariat Department, under Deputy Com-
missary Dobree, will be broken up in Ireland next

nance Deploment, Dublin Castle, will take charge of it.

latien of toe Troop-siabes of the Royal Horse A:finery,

partment.

LIoNG-Kaeru A•RTILLERT COMMAND. —SODIO conai
derable excitement exists at Woolwich garrison as to the
successor of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Tomkyns
Commandant of the Royal Artillery at Hong-Kong.
Colonel Burnaby, who is first for that duty, has sent in
his gapers, for retirement on the full pay of his late
rank. Lieutenant• Colonel Griffins, the next officer on
the roster, seems uncertain in his movements; and
Lieutenant-Colonel Lethbridge, if called upon to embark
for that station, will also retire from the service.
RESIGNATION OF THE GovenNon OF MALTA..—Is is
generally understood that the resignation of Lieutenant-
General Ellice has been finally accepted, and that he
leaves the command early in April. The Lieutenant-
General has recently issued an order prohibiting all
children, other than those belonging to the corps in
garrison, from attending regimental schools. The reason
of this is not apparent; the only children who appear to
have enjoyed the advantage, now denied them, were the
offspring of pensioners and widows.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The market this week has been steady, but not active
-business in dividend mines preponderating, and, in
some instances, at increased prices, among which are
Alfred Consols, Condurrow, and Wheal Basset; while
Cara Brea and Levant are at a considerably reduced
rate. Some of the speculative. concerns are more in-
quired for at an advance in price, in
consequence of in-
creased samplings of ore, and.
whilst there - showing improvement a 8
they become more developed is a still fur-
ther depression in others, and sales scarcely to b® effected
in them. In this class large capitals
have been raised,
on the mere assumption of the existence of productive
lodes, which have proved otherwise, to the disappoint..
ment of those embarked in theta, many of whom are
sellers at any price they can obtain. The late attrac-
tion of the gold mining shares has bad a serious influ-
ence over the price of other investments, and British
mines have come in for their full portion of it.
In the Metal Market,-Copper is in greater request
than the smelters are prepared to supply at
present:
firm in price for every description, and an advance is
already hinted at.-Tin is also steady, and a large
amount of ,business transacting, as also in plates, at the
prices quoted. For Banes there has been more inqui-
ries: a parcel sold at 811.-Lead is looking up, and an
increased business doing.

week's prices.
