Lieut.-Col. Austen, 2d division depot brigade
Royal Artillery, Woolwich, Lieut.-Col. Rotton, and
Capt. Manderson, were yesterday placed under
orders at Woolwich, to hold themselves in readiness
for service in India, to take their departure pro-
bably in September next. Lieut.-Col. Reilly, C. 8.,
B brigade Royal Horse Artillery, at Woolwich, has
received orders to enter upon a course of gunnery
instruction in command of his troop, at Shoebury-
ness.

Lieut. V. F. Tufnell, A brigade Royal Horse
Artillery at Woolwich, has been permitted to re-
sign his commission, on the plea of continued ill
health. He has been succeeded by Lieut. Blest,
who has joined Col. the llon. E. Gage's troop, the
post having been vacated by Lieut. Tufnell. The

The committee of officers appointed by the War
Department to investigate the sanitary condition of
the General Hospital at Woolwich yesterday assem-
bled for the purpose of receiving over the new build-
ing on Kidbrook-common. After inspecting the
wards and other portions of the new establishment, it
was decided that the transfer of the invalids should be
deferred sine die, as it was pronounced to be still in-
complete. At the time of theinspection a troop of the
Horse Artillery was in the act of performing gun
drill on the review ground, ordinarily used for that
purpose daily, the weather permitting, on Woolwich-
common. It was then observed that the hospital
was in too close proximity to the spot where the
duties of the garrison are continually carried on.
The cemetery on the other side is also too near the
hospital. In consequence of these disadvantages it
is stated to be in contemplation not to use the
building as an hospital, but to retain in use the old
infirmary, and to convert the hospital into infirmary
quarters, for which it is most advantageously
situated.

D'Arcy, left Portsmouth on Monday for Cowes, for

head, under the supervision of the Assist.-Quarter-
master-General of the South-West Military District,

command ; Lieuts. Shaw, 108th, Roberts, 44th, and
Hebdor, 72d ; Assist.-Surg. Lithgo, 17th Lancers,

officers and men, belonging to various corps serving
in India, on board the ship, consisted of 140 invalids
and 80 time-expired men, with several women and
children. Seven, military convicts also came to
England in the ship. The Dunbar Castle was at
the Cape of Good Hope during the period of the
recent gale, and much anxiety was felt respecting
her safety, as it was known she had to land troops
there from Bombay. By judicious precautions,
however, the ship escaped any serious damage.

ing the above intimation states the knowledge the
students have acquired during the comparatively
short time they have been under instruction at
Chatham to be both deep and practical ; the work
actually performed shows great industry, and great
credit is stated to be due to the principal instructor,
Mr. F. Logan, the chief draughtsman.

LADVERTISEI4ENT.I-11ollowr.y's 0 intment.—T urn which
way you will, go where you please, persons will be found
who have a ready word of praise for this ointment. For
chaps, chafes, scalds, bruise; and sprains it is an invaluable
remedy. For bad logs, caused by accident or cold, it may
be confidently relied upon for effecting a sound and per-
manent cure. In cases of swelled ankles, erysipelas, gout,
and rheumatism Holloway's ointment gives the greatest
comfort, by reducing the inflammation, cooling the blood,
soothing the nerves, adjusting the circulation, and expel-
ling the impurities. This ointment should have a place in
every nursery. It will cure the long list of skin affections
which originate in childhood and gain strength with the
child's growth.
