having larger charges than 81b., the Peltman fuzees
will be supplied for the heavier and Moorsom's for
the lighter guns.

to the troops at the several military stations in the
United Kingdom during the ensuing winter. He
desires the co-operation of commanding offinrs in
.
carrying out the regulations for the circulatimi of
the articles so provided with that regularity
upon
which the success of the measure will mainly de-
pend. No box nor sot of diagrams is to he isept at

lecturers the following points :-1. Lectures should

be made as interesting as possible, statistical and
dry details being omitted, unless the lecturer con-
siders it absolutely necessary that such should be
mentioned, for the sake of illustration or comparison.
3. Ail explanations should be in clear and simple
language, and where technical and scientific terms
are necessary they should be explained and ren-
dered as intelligible as possible, having reference to
the class the lecturer is addressing. 4, No slide
should be allowed to remain in the lantern more
than 10 minutes. An account of the lectures de-
livered is to be transmitted to the Adjt.-Gen. to
the Forces in the month of April next.

Marine Artillery has been opened at the head-
quarters of the Chatham division, the shore strength

sth inst., Malta on the Bth, and Gibraltar on the

fine weather and light breezes, a heavy north-wes,-
terly swell across the Bay of Biscay, and a heavy
south-westerly gale in the Channel.

The Delta brought 32 passengers (19 first class
and 13 second) including Sir H. and Lady Johnston
and family, Major Hogge, and Ensign Hitchcock,
from Mauritius ; Captain Thomas, Lieut. Lewis,

Advices received at Gibraltar from the Barbary
ports report that European trade with the coast is
likely to be greatly diminished in consequence of a
decree of the Emperor prohibiting the exportation
of wool and cereals from and after the 10th inst.
At Mogador the British Vice-Consul assembled her
Majesty's subjects on the Ist inst., and officially
acquainted them with the decree. Some advices
mention the probability that the decree would
not be rigorously enforced to the day, but that a
reasonable time would be allowed for the embarka-
tion of the stocks accumulated at the ports, which
were purchased on the faith of the export trade
being open.
