THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Field-MarshalCommand-
ing-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Thurs-
day, the 29th inst.
It is stated to be the intention of the authorities
at the HorseGuards,among other important changEs,
to break up the depot battalions at Chichester and
Canterbury in April next, and amalgamate them
with other battalions. This will considerably re-
duce the expenses of the Staff.
Yesterday a detachment of 75 non-commissioned
officers and men of the Chatham division of Royal
Marines, under the command of Lieut. J. G. Fitzge-
rald, left headquarters to join the depot battation at
Deal. Owing to the activity with which recruiting
for the Royal Marines has proceeded for some time
past, the division at Chatham is now unusually
strong.

The application on the part of the Government to
extend the works of the Ordnance Department at
Chatham, making it necessary to close one of the
public roads, came on for discussion at a special
meeting of the Local Board of Health held yester-
day. The committee to whom the whole subject had
been referred unanimously recommended that the
application of the War Department should be ac-
ceded to, the Board at the same time stipulating that
a properly paved road, at least 30 feet in width,
should be constructed by the Government, connect-
in with the Military-road, which latter
it is proposed by the War Department to hand over
to the public in exchange for the road taken. The
committee further recommended that the Govern-
ment should undertake to pave both sides of the
Military-road throughout its entire length, and also
that a piece of vacant land at a corner of the road
should be conveyed to the public of Chatham, on
which a town hall and other public offices might be
ultimately erected. After a long discussion, the
report of the committee, with some slight modifica-
tions, was unanimously agreed to, and a committee
of three members of the board appointed to confer
with Col.Twiss, the commanding Royal Engineer in
theChatham district,with respect to thefinal arrange-
ment. The addition proposed to be made to the Gover-
nment property will increase the Ordnance establish-
ment to nearly double its present extent.
The undermentioned gentlemen have been ap-
pointed Deputy Inspectors of Hospitals on the re-
tired list :—Chas. H. Fuller, Jason Lardner, Henry
Liddell, Edward Davies, and Chas. R. Brien.

Aboutl
nNOE'cAloßck last night, while the wind was
blowingl
.W., the beachmen at this place
observed a vessel burning lights in the direction of the
Scroby Sands. Knowing the danger of her position, they
launched their largest yawl to her assistance, but, owing to
the violence of the sea they found they could not render any
help to the vessel with the yawl, and therefore returned at
once for the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution
stationed here, in which they immediately proceeded to the
shy. On arriving alongside the vessel, which was in the
middle of the broken water on the sand, the lifeboat crew
let go their anchor and veered down towards her. Twice they
had to slip the anchor of the lifeboat before they could place
her in a proper position to reach the vessel. They, however,
succeeded at last, and put some of their crew on board. With
the assistance of a steam tug which came up at the time,
they were then enabled to take the vessel, which proved to
be the schooner Emily, of London, safely into Yarmouth
harbour. The night was very dark, and the schooner could
not have been in a more perilous position, nor could she
have been more gallantly rescued, as the sea was atoning
mountains high. The vessel's crew had been in the rigging
two hours when the lifeboat arrived alongside. The life-
boat's crew, as usual, behaved remarkably well. While the
Caster lifeboat was engaged in this service, the 1 armouth
lifeboat, which also belongs to the National Institution.'
came up; buts,tsaeteiro-rin_ .g the Caistor lifeboat along tide, she re-

A GAROTTER STIOT IN NOTTINGITM—Between
o'clock on
was crossing

dlesee, the Carrington-
street-bridge, near the Midland Railway station, when he
perceived two suspicious-looking men following him. He
quickened his pace and tried to evade them, but when he
got near to the Queen's-walk one of the men attacked him,
and the other came up immediately. Mr. Addlesee had
taken the precaution of carrying with him a pistol charged
with small shot, and, springing away from the men, turned
round and shot one of them in the face. The man reeled
for a second or twe, and then decamped with his companion.
The men have not yet been apprehended.
