TILE lIO3IEWARD AMERICAN MAILS DUE AT
LIVERPOOL THIS WEEK.--The following steamers
are due at Liverpool this week with the American and
Canadian mails:—The City of Baltimore, with dates from
New York to April 29, may be expected to reach Crook-
haven or Queenstown in the course of Wednesday morning;
and the Belgian, from Portland, with corresponding ad-
vices, will no doubt arrive at Greencastle on Wednesday
evening or early on Thursday morning. On Friday next
the Cunard steamer Persia, from Now York on May 3,
may be looked for either off Crookhavea or Queenstown.
The National Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Pennsylvania, which was to leave New York on the same
day as the City of Baltimore,. will reach Queenstown on
Wednesday. The National Company's boats, however, do
not carry the mails—only a ship's letter-bag.

ALEERSIIOTT CAMP.—The new brigade arrange-
ments at Aldershott have been officially settled.
Major-General Brook Taylor, commanding the first Brigade,
and Major Deedes, his Aide-de-camp, are struck off the
strength from the 30th ult. inclusive. Major General Lord
Henry Percy, V.C., assumed command of the Ist Infantry
Brigade, and Brigadier-General P. Adams, C. 8., that of 2d
Infantry Brigade, from the Ist inst. inclusive. Commencing
from the 2d of May the infantry brigades are re-numbered
as follows :-3d, or Major General Russell's, will be the Ist
Brigade; 2d, or Brigadier-General F. Adams's, will remain
the 2d ; Ist, or Major-general Lord Henry Percy's, will be
the 3d.—Array and Navy Caudle.
THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—In OUT number of
the Bth ult. we led our readers to anticipate that
the result of the court of inquiry upon Lieutenant-Colonel
Dawkins, of the Coldstream Guards, would prove unfavour-
able to that officer, and that it was most likely he would
either have to retire from the army or be placed upon half-
pay. The decisions both of the Court and the Horse Guards
authorities have been promulgated. The former is adverse
to Lieutenant-Colonel Dawkins ; the latter is to the effect
we anticipated; and the option of sending in his papers or
going upon half-pay is offered him. We should add that

Lieutenant-Colonel Dawkins has made a representation in
tho nature of an appeal against this decision, and we be-
believe asks for a court-martial.—. Army and Navy Gazette.
