NAVAL OFFICERS.—it is with great satisfaction
that we have heard the following officers confidently named
as those to whom pensions for service have been assigned,
out of the fund which has accrued by the abolition of the
Colonelcies of Marines, which were sinecure appointments
heretofore held by a few individuals :—Admirals Sir L. W.
Halsted, G.C.8., G.C.H., Sir H. W. Bayntun, K.C.8.,
Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., K.C.8., G.C.H. ; Vice Admi-
rals Sir Willoughby T. Lake, K.C.8., Sir James Hillyar,
C. 8., K.C.H., Sir James Alexander Gordon, K.C.B. ;
Captains James R. Dacres, J. S. Carden, Honourable D.
H. Mackay, Thos. Brown, John Ayscough, W. F. Wyse,
C. 8., Honourable Josceline Percy, S. A. log Weld, Sir
E. Chctham, C. 8., K.C.H., Sir John Phillimore, C. 8.,
Charles Napier, C.B. ; Royal Marines Major-General G.
E. Vinnicombe, and Major-General Robert M'Cleverty,
C. 8., K.C.H. In the above list our readers will recog-
nise the names of distinguished officers, many of whom have
commanded ships against the enemy. We rejoice to find
in the list the name of that ill-used officer, Captain Ays-
cough.—Naval and Military Gazette.

Extract from a letter from Edinburgh :—I open
this letter to tell you that I was witness to a catastrophe,
on my way to the Post-office, which has made me quite
unwell. I witnessed a young man shivered to pieces by
throwing himself over the North Bridge. The yells of his
brother and a young woman, the latter of whom he left on
the middle of the bridge when he took the awful leap, are
still ringing in nly ears.
