THE ARMY.

By direction of the Duke of-Cambridge an expe-
rimental trial was made at Chatham on Thursday
night to test the merits of the new description of
telegraphic night signals, the invention of Capt. F. s.
J. Bolton (12th Regiment), which are about to be
introduced for general adoption throughout the ser-
vice. The invention has been subjected to repeated
trials by the Ordnance Select Committee, with, it is
understood, the most satisfactory results, a highly
favourable report on the system having been made
to the Secretary of State for War. By special di-
rection of the Dake of Cambridge several of the most
intelligent non-commissioned officers, selected from
the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, the infantry,
and Royal Marines, at Chatham, have been placed
under the direction of Capt. Bolton for the purpose
of being instructed in the working of the code of
signals. Although they had only received eight
lessons, so simple is the system used that the men
have become thoroughly conversant with the work-
ing of the apparatus and the method of despatching
and receiving messages. Thursday night being ex-
ceedingly favourable for the preliminary trial to be
made, an apparatus for producing the signals was
placed on the elevation known as the Spur Battery,
adjoining the Chatham Lines, a party of Engineers
and Artillery being stationed on one of the hills
about midway between Chatham and Gravesend,
with a second apparatus. The distance in a straight
line was between four and five miles. Capt.Boltotif
who superintended the arrangements at the Spur
Battery, despatched a number of messages, some of
them of a very intricate and lengthy description, all
of which were recorded and promptly replied to by
the signals placed on the second eminence, the
beautiful lime-light shining out with astonishing
brilliancy. It is intended shortly to put the inven-
tion to a further test by assembling the troops of
the garrison at night, when signals will be des-
patched and received in all respects similar to those
which would be used in active operations in the field.
Colonel Charles Bingham, the Deputy Adjutant-
GEneral, has issued the subjoined " General Regi-
mental Order" of the Royal Artillery :
" Her Majesty having been pleased to appr,,ve the amal-
gamation with the Royal Artillery of the Artilleries of the
three Presidencies in India, and to sanction an augmenta-
tion to the Royal Artillery of 4 Brigades of Horse Artil-
lery and 10 Brigades of Field and Garrison Artillery, his
Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has
directed that the following General Order, published in
India, should be circulated for the information and guid-
ance of the regiment at large, viz.:—
"' General Order, by his Excellency the Governor-General
of India in Council,—Fort William, Oct. 12, 1861.

panies of the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay regiments of
Artillery, who have volunteered for the Royal Artillery.
" The artillerymen who have elected for local service
will be formed into separate Indian (European) batteries.
" ' The 2d Royal Horse Brigade will be formed of seven

in such proportions as may hereafter be determined.' "
[ln this part of the order the form in which the
new brigade will be constituted is given, but is
omitted here as of no public interest.]
" All batteries will remain at their present stations, and
their artillerymen who have elected for Indian service will
continue to do duty with their former troops and companies
until the weather permits of their being collected and
'ormed into separate batteries.

gades and battalions of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay Artil-
lery into brigades and batteries of Royal Artillery, all reports
and returns required by her Majesty's regulations will bo

manding officers in tho same manner in all respects as now
in the Royal Artillery.
" The names of the officers of the late Indian Artilleries
and their postings to the several brigades and batteries will
be published in future general regimental orders. "

THE 23d ROYAL WELCH FUSILEERS.

The marble monument designed as a tribute to the
memory of the officers of the 23d Royal Welch Fusilceres
who fell at the Battle of the Alma, and long since sub-
scribed for by their relatives, is now complete, and through
the exertions of Major Gordon, R.E., of Constantinople, and
of Col. Gowan, of Sebastopol, erected over the grave of the
officers buried in the field.
The inscription, in Russian, French, English, and Greek,
is as follows :

A murder and robbery, committed in the Com-
mune of Lafrette (Seine-et-Oise), close to Argenteuil, was
discovered two days ago, in a rather singular manner
Some boatmen, while unmooting their craft, saw a stake
of wood driven into the bank of the river, and to which was
attached a thin rope running into the water. On pu'ling
this rope, the men were horror-struck at finding at the end
of it the body of a man whom they recognised as being a
person named Fulgence, who resided in a small isolated
house near the river. The body bore evident marks of
violence, a large cut having been made in the 'leek with
some sharp instrument. On the Commissary of Police
being informed of the fact, he went to the house, and there
discovered that a robbery had been effected, the watch,
money, and jewellery of the victim having been carried off.
A razor was also taken away, with which it
is
tsithirsed
the murder was committed ; and there is no doubt _ the
perpetrator of it is some one well acquaintedch the deceased
with the place,
as he knew where to find the razor,
whi
always kept in a particular part of the room.
Parian statuettes arc illustrations of the perfection pro-
duced by untiring perseverance in removing defects in
manufacture. So also are herring's Magnetic Brushes anti
Combs, which are now rendered so perfect in restoring the
colour to grey hair, aad eradicating the agony of
neuralgia
and nervous headache, that failure is almost impossible.
