THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
Major• General Home, late of the Grenadier Guards,
we understand, will succeed to the command of the
troops in Jamaica, on the expiration of Major-General
Banbury's period of service there.
It is rumoured that Colonel Sir Ord Honyman, Bart.,
Lieutenant-Colonel Grenadier Guards, is about to retire
from the service by the sale of his commission.
A NEW INVALID DEPOT.—It is again rumoured that
a depor, for the accommodation of invalid soldiers, is to
be formed at Woolwich, and the staff now at Chat-
ham will be removed to the former place. If this plan
is carried into effect, much delay and inconvenience will
be spared the sick soldier, who, when his case is finally
disposed of, can be sent, either by railway or steam-boat
to any part of the United Kingdom, with very little
trouble to himself.

Recruiting in the Royal Marines has continued to im-
prove since the standard was brought down to 5 feet 7
inches—quite high enough for the work.
Lieutenant O'Connell, 65th Regiment, is about to
retire from the service by the sale of his commission.
He served as Major of Brigade to the force in New
Zealand from 1845 to 1846, and was present at the at-
tack on Heki's Pah at Mawie, on that on the i'faikadi
River, and at the captuze of Pomare's Pah at Ruapeka-
peke in January, 1846.
ARMY PROIuOTION.-96Ta REGIMENT.—Major Bush
and Captain Eyton are about to retire trom the service
by the sale of their commissions. Brevet Major Hill
succeeds to the Majority, and Lieutenants Wilmot and
Middleton to the vacant Companies.
NEW Ross Gertufsort.—The troops stationed at New
Ross, under the command of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel
Powell, 57th Regiment, consist of Captain Hamilton's
troop, sth Dragoon Guards, and Captain Law's com-
pany, 57tH. The fi, ld officer and cavalry will return to
Kilkenny after the termination of the approaching
election.

ORDNANCE.—Gun, mortar, and howitzer practice, took
place at the Pigeon-house Fort, Dublin, on the 21st inst.
STAFF.—Major• General Manse', commanding
the Cork district, has returned to Cork from his tour of
inspection.

ORANGE PROCESSIONR—Companies of the 46th, 71st
IllighlAnd Light Infantry, Ist Battalion, and 91st Regi-
ment, Ist Battalion, will be detached in aid of the civil
power at the expected Orange processions, on Ist July,
in the Belfast district.
TheoPs FOR Lenta..—Drafts from the depots stationed
at Chathera, of
the 18th Royal Irish, 29th, 53d, 61st,
And 75th Regiments,
embarked at Gravesend, on the
24th instant, on board the ship Buchephalus, fur Bengal.
THE SCREW FRIGATE SQITADRON.—On Wednesday,
at 5 the screw steam squadron were standing
into Torbay. Since leaving Spithead, they have had
smooth water, light winds, and fine weather.
They were sailing on a wind, when the result will be
found as follows: —Arrogant first, Dauntless second,
Highflyer third, and Encounter last; but so near does
each ship approach the other in points of sailing under
circumstances of wind, Sce., as before mentioned, that we
believe it would take months for either one of the ships
to get out of sight of the other three. The Encounter's
performances were unexpected; the klighflyer was nearly
as good as Arrogant or Dauntless.
The Sanspareil, 81, Captain Dacres, late of the
Leander, is fitting for sea in Devonport harbour. Men
are, however, coming in slowly, as the blue jackets al-
ways show a preference to vessels of a smaller class. It
is reported that Captain the Honourable F. Pelham, now
private Secretary to his Grace the Duke of Northum-
berland, will shortly supersede Captain Dacres in com-
mand of this fine specimen of a man-of-war of the new
school. We presume Captain Dacres will be a candi- '
data for the first good service pension that is vacant.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVAL FORCES.—The French
Yir.?es hAvo ben so much increased, and the English
F‘ircez so much reduced. in the Pacific station, that our
n,ignbunvs alai rivals muster in the Pacific about fifty
gnus more than the British Navy.
Captain Frederick C. Michell (1830) has been nomi-
nated to the command of the Queen, 116, to be ro-corn-
inissioned when paid off by Captain Wise. Captain
Michell commanded the b tttering flotilla at Algiers, bat
he has not been afloat for 20 years. The next thing we
may expect to announce will be the appointment of the
Dike of Northumberland, by himself, to command the
Channel Fleet at sea.
