THE ARMY.

Lieut.-Col. Edward Newdigate, who has been
appointed to the 2d depot battalion at Chatham, in
succession to Col. R.N. Phillips, retired, has joined
at the garrison and taken the command of the depot.
Lieut.• Col. Newdigate served in the Crimea during
the whole of the Eastern campaign until the final
capture of Sebastopol. lie has since been employed
on particular service in British North America.

By,the appointment of Major-General C.Warren,
C. 8., to the Colonelcy of the 96th Regiment, a
Major-General's pension for distinguished or meri•
torious services -is placed at the disposal of Field-
Marshal the Commander-in-Chief.

A considerable number of non-commissioned
officers and men of the Royal Engineers having
completed their course of instruction at the survey
and topographical schools, Brampton barracks, an
order has been received at Chatham, from the Horse
Guards, directing their early removal to Southamp-
ton for transfer to those companies of Royal En-
gineers which are engaged on the Ordnance survey
of Great Britain.

A caravan of seventy Arab pilgrims has just
arrived at Marseilles on their way to Algeria from
Mecca. Some of them seem very poor, and, being ignorant
of the French law against mendicity, they often ask alms
of passengers in the streets, and seldom meet with a refusal.
THE CONDEMNED MURDERER, NOAH AUSTIN.
—The murderer, Noah Austin, who shot his sweetheart's
father, at Heyford, will, we understand, suffer the extreme
penalty of the law at Oxford, on Tuesday, March 24. His
demeanour since conviction has been marked by the same
callous indifference as before, and there appears not the
slightest chance of his confessing the awful crime of which
he has been so justly found guilty. No event in the an-
nals of crime in the county, since the year 1852, when the
Italian murderer Kalabeegs suffered the extreme penalty
of the law for the murder of his uncle, near Banbury, has
created such a deep impression on the public mind, and, up
to the present time, no well-founded motive can be found
for the commis ion of the awful deed. Although at the
last summer assizes, when John Hall was condemned for the
wilful murder of Lord Dillon's gamekeeper, a strong feel-
ing was manifested by the University and city of Oxford
in favour of a reprieve, which was granted on representa•
tions made, there appears no demonstration in favour of
Austin, whose crime is everywhere regarded as one of the
worst on record.
