THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Szrvice Gazette of this day.)
Major General Horne, 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.,
Lieuttl.nant-Colonel Grenadier Guards, is about to retire
from the service by the ;ale of his commission.
A NEW INVALID DEPOT.—It is again rumoured that
a de[ot, for the accommodation of invalid soldiers, is to
be tcrmr:cl at I.lfoolvrich, 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
inche.:—quite high enough for the work.
Lieutenant O'Connell, 65th Regiment, is about to
retire from the service by the sale of his commission.
Ho
served Major of Brigade to the force in New
Zealand asfrom
1845 to 1846, and was present at the
at-
tack on Hekt's Pah at Mawie, on that or the Waikadi
River, and at the captime of Pomare'a I'ah at Ruapeka-
peka in Juanary, 1846.
ARMY PROMOTION.-96TH REGIMENT.—Maj or Be sh
and Captain Eyton are about to retire from the service
by the sale of their commissions. Brevet Major Hill
succeeds to the Majority,
Middleton to the and Lieutenants Wilmot and
vacant
Companies.
NEW Ross GARRISON.—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 fit Id officer and cavalry will return to
Kilkenny after the termination of the approaching
election.

ORDNANCE.—Gun, mortar, and howitz9,r practice, took
place at the Pigeon-house Fort, Dublin, on the 21st inst.
STAFF.—Major- General Manse!, K.H., commanding
the Cork district, has returned to Cork from his tour of
inspection.

ORANGE PRCCESSIONS.—Companies of the 46th, 71st
Highbind 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.

TROOPS FOR INDlA.—Drafts from the depots stationed
at Chatham, of the 18th Royal Irish, 29th, 53d, 61st,
and 75th Regiments, embarked at Gravesend, on the
24th instant, on board the ship Buchophalus, for Bengal.
THE SCREW FRIGATE SQUADRON.---OD, Wednesday,
at 5 P.m., 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, ana Encounter last; but so near does
each chip approach the other in points of sailing under
circumstances of wind, &c., 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 Highflyer 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
Forces have been so much increased, and the English
Forces so much reduced, in the Pacific station, that our
neighbours and rivals muster in the Pacific about fifty
guns more than the British Navy.
Captain Frederick C. Michell (1830) has been nomi-
nated to the command of the Queen, 116, to be re-com-
missioned when paid off by Captain Wise. Captain
Michell commanded the battering flotilla at Algiers, but
he has not been afloat for 20 years. The next thing we
may expect to announce will be the appointment of the
Duke of Northumberland, by himself, to command the
Channel Fleet at sea.

PLUNDER SHOPS.

From the Aye, a new Liberal Weekly Paper, just

started.)
Last month, Mr. Ike; Sharpe, formerly clerk to an
attorney of the worst repute, issued from the portals of
the House of Correction, wan in visage, gaunt in figure
—knocking at the knees and out at the elbows—down
at heels in the lower extremity, and short of the proper
quantity of hair upon his head.
This week, I. Sharpe, Esq., drives a prancer in a bran
new brougham, and is to be observed on Saturday nights
in his own stall at the Opera, ogling the ladies in the
box of royalty. I. Sharpe, Esq., has had his figure
studied to the best advantage by a fashionable tailor
near the Albany, and the head, which was lately rudely
subjected to prison scissors, is now each morning neatly
trimmed by an assistant from the renowned establish.
ment of Mr. Truefitt.

Last month, Bluebottle was a portly figure, sleek, de-
mure, and dressed in glossy black, pouring champagne
creamingly into " my lady's" glass, or courteously piling
on her pictured plate strawberries at five shillings an
ounce.

This week, Bluebottle occupies the cell recently va-
cated by" that Ikey Sharpe," and performs twice a day
tl39n the same instrument Mr. Sharpe played upon at
Brzinzton for three successive months, the said instrument
4,g a.wheel of large diameter, which Bluebottle treads

Houndsditch is obliged to officiate as his own butler tin_
til he can get another, sihich h© finds no eas
having lost all confidence in people ,g; characters after
having been "so deceived" in Bluebottle, with whom he
had the best. The rest of the utsblishment aro in
dreadful consternation at the fac...ily catastrophe—the
housemaids holding up their hands, and asking " Did
you ever?" whilst the cooks And scullions run up the

area at the sight of every policeman, to inqui re whether
snything more has been heard concerning " Mr. Blue-
bottle." The police, on their part, are not o mamunica-
tive, as they do not yet know whether somet king more
may not come out, and other servants prove 1;o be im-
plicated. To this point, indeed, their inquiries have
been much directed, under the orders of the magistrate,
who gave Bluebottle an extra month, in order to stop
what he solemnly characterised as " the great increase
of late of cases involving breaches of domes tic con-
fidence."

The consternation and trouble thus occasioned in a
family—the utter and irretrievable ruin of a fellow-
creature—the suspicions which yet rest upon other in-
nocent individuals—not to mention the trouble given to
the police, and the argument afforded to Lord Granby,
who will tell the public in his next speech that crime
increases in the very teeth of Free-trade princi.ples—all
this is owing, as we hereby see, to the opening of Mr.
Ikey Sharpe's betting-office, at which Bluebottle, and
many hundred other victims, have been plundered. The
gaols are beginning to swarm with petty offenders,
ruined for life in consequence of having fallen victims
to these places of temptation. And not only nira the in-
terests of society suffering, but the interests of the Turf.
Frauds are perpetrated on sporting men th rough the
machinery of these establishment.: they are the means
of bringing into connexion with Sport a class of persons
who would not be tolerated in " the ring," dubious as is
the character of many a man within that mag is circle.
The thing cannot be tolerated. We put down gaming-
tables—we don't allow dominoes to be played in a ta-
vern—Middlesex magistrates refuse dancing and music
licences—" Barthelmy Fair" is knocked on the, head—
the police on race-courses seize remorselessly on every
fellow who pricks the garter or sets down a thimble-
table—and yet we allow robbery shops to be openly
started in every public thoroughfare! Our police regu-
lations permit Mr. Ikey Sharpe to open a large estab-
lishment, and not 40,0004, as one of these plunderers is
said to have done during the present racing S'BIISOD, al-
though if he turned honest and got an employment, his
master would be warned within a week by C 372 that
he had better look out, for he had a man in his service
who had been twice convicted !

Oh! it's a nice state of society ours is, and entirely
free from anomalies of any sort!
