round the shots were in line.

With regard to the behaviour of the shunt gun
in prematurely bursting its shell on Friday last, it
would appear that the fault lay with the expsri.
mental fuses used rather than with the gun (as we
anticipated in our report in The Sun of Saturday),
zind yet, in yesterday's firing, the same fezces and
shells not only did not burst consequently on the
shell leaving the gun, as they did on Friday, but
they did not even do sa on the first concussion the
shell received on striking the water. Na naissfires
occurred from the Whitworth gun, the precaution
being taken every few rouuds of passing the wiro
through the vent, which appears to be all that is
necessary to keep it clear.

The paddlewheel steam storeship Doe, 1, Master Com-
mander George Raymond, with Commander Paul, Assist.-
Master Attendant at Dovonport dockyard, and a party of
riggers, who have been emp'oyed laying moorings in Liver-
pool and Ireland, returned to Plymouth on Saturday.
A notice has just been issued from the Army Medical
Department by Mr J. B. Gibson, the director-general of
hospitals, setting forth that a competitive examination of
candidates for commissions in the army will commence at
Chelsea Hospital on Monday, Feb. 20, 1863, at 10 o'clock
a.m. The subjects of examination are—Obligatory—Ana-
tomy and physiology, surgery, medicine, including thera-
peutics, and diseases of women and children, chemistry and
pharmacy, and a practical knowledge of drugs. Optional—
Comparative anatomy, zoology and botany, with special re-
ference to Materia medial. Candidates having the necessary
qualifications to practise medicine and surgery under the
Medical Act, and not being under 21 nor above 30 yews of
age, are eligible.
It was yesterday announced in the garrison at Woolwich
that Col. Hopkins, C,8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and
who succeeded a few weeks ago to the command (,f the divi-
sion of Royal Marine Light Infantry in that garrison, has
requested and obtained permission to retire from the service
with the full pay of his rank. The post of aide-de-camp
which the gallant colonel has held for the last five years
therefore becomes vacant. Col. Hopkins will retire from the
service with the rank of major-general. He obtained the
Commandership of the Bath and the appointment of aide-
de-camp to her Majesty in testimony of his arduous and
efficient services while in command of a brigade in the Cri•
mea, and retires at the early age of 55, His departure from
Woolwich is much regretted.
In the list of naval appointments which appears in The
Sun of yesterday read James T. Syme instead of James T.
Lyme, assist, paymaster, supernumerary, to the Fisgard.
