recommended to us by our commander-in-chief, and ap-
pointed according toltheir regimental, and not according to
their brevet rank • bat no officer shall be placed on the
retired lull-pay list, who has not served on full-pay for
twenty-one years and upwards, unless he had been obliged
to go upon half-pay in consequence of ill health contracted
in the service (as established by the report of a board of
medical officers), or in consequence of wounds received in
action, before ho had served the 21 years prescribed.
32. Each officer placed on the retired full-pay list, shall
receive a step of brevet rank, together with the full-pay of
the rank from which he retired ; but such officer cannot be
further promoted.
33. Officers appointed to veteran battalions shall not, on
their reduction or retirement therefrom, acquire any claim
to retired full-pay.
TEMPORARY ALLOWANCH IN THH NATURE OF HALF-PAT.
34. An officer, hoving served less than three years, will,
if reduced, receive only a temporary allowance of half-pay,
according to the following scale
Services on Full Pay. Temporary Allowance.
Under 1 year
1, and under 2 years for 2 years.
2, and under 3 years
The temporary allowance ceases at the termination of
the above-recited periods, or previously, if the officer shall
have been previously placed ou full-pay.
35. But an officer, who has been placed on temporary
half-pay, is eligible to be appointed-to a full-pay commis-
sion, either by exchange or otherwise, provided his appoint-
ment take place within five years after he has ceased to
receive temporary half-pay, in which ease his
_former
service is allowed to reckon.

36. The exchange to full-pay, under the preceding
article, may be made with a full-pay officer entitled to
half-pay.
37. An officer who has been rethiced'with only a tempo-
rary allowance, having purchased his taammission, may
receive the regulated price thereof from the public,
through our Secretary at War, and the public shall be re-
imbursed by the sale!of a first fult-pay commission, which

having served such 3 years, shall have served 10 in the co-
lonies, or 5 with an army in the field, in any rank, he may
be allowed the rate of half-pay assigned to his rank in the
schedule annexed to article. 52 ; but it is not to be under-
stood that this clause is intended to convey an authority
to place any officer in retirement immediately subsequent
' to any promotion he may obtain.
PAYMASTERS.

54. A paymaster, who shall have served as a commis-
sioned officer in other ranks, shall, on retiring from the
situation of paymaster, be allowed, after conspleting five
years' service on full pay as paymaster, to reckon previous
service on full pay as a commissioned officer as equivalent

than.s years as paymaster, will be eligible for-re-employ-
ment on full-pay, either in that situation or in his former
rank ; and if restored to full-pay as paymaster, his previ-
ous service will be allowed to reckon.
57. An officer who may have served snore than 5 years
and less than 20 years as paymaster, and Shull be receiving
the half-pay of that commission (viz., 65., Bs., or 10s. a
day) will be liable to be recalled to full pay in that ap-
pointment, if his health shall be found sufficiently good to
enable him to resume his duties ; and in case ho shall de-
cline the appointment, he shall be liable to revert to half-
pay oftho commission whichhe held before hewas apointed
paymaster, and shall be liable to re-employment on full-
pay in his former rank.
58. Every paymaster who shall have served in the army
an aggregate period of 30 years, of which 23 years' service
has been on full-payas paymaster, may have an unqualified
right to claim retirement.
No paymaster shall be entitled to claim retirement-on the
ground of unfitness from ill health after any period of ser-
vice under 30 years, unless such unfitness for service shall
be supported by medical certificates to the satisfaction of
our Secretary-at-War.
. .

38. The half-pay of the army is granted as a remunera
tion for past military services, and also as imposing an
obligation on the officer to return to his military duties
whenever called upon ; therefore any officer not obeying
the call is liable to forfeit his half-pay.
39. An officer shall be entitled to be placed en the half-
pay establishment, if compelled to retire in consequence of
wounds received in action.
40. An officer having served more than three years shall

sidered to have retired upon half-pay -for his oven conve-
nience.
41. An officer having actually done duty in some regi-
ment or corps, or in some other military capacity in the
public service, fer a period of at least three years, shall be
entitled to be placed on the half-pay establishment on re-
duction from full pay.
42. Ne officer shall be permitted to retire upon perma-
nent half-pay until after a full-pay service of twenty-one
years, except on account of unfitness for service from
wounds received in action, or from certified ill health con-
tracted in and by military service.
43. Ns garrison commission or appointment shall give
an officer any claim to half-pay on retirement.
41. The residence of the half-pay officer is to be stated
every quarter in his declaration, whether his half-pay be
received by an agent or by himself.
45. No officer on half-pay shall, of right, have a claim
to sell or commute his half-pay ; the permission shall be
governed by such consideration of the individual case, as
may induce our Commander-in-Chief and Secretary at
War to recommend it.
46. If a subaltern officer, whose service confers a claim
to half-pay, be desirous of retiring from the army by the
sale of his commission, the following rules should be ob-
served :
L If ho purchased his commission the regulated price
may be granted (whether he should be receiving half-pay
or a temporary allowance in the nature of half-pay).
2. If he did not purchase his commission, and had served
less than 7 years on full-pay in the army, e may be al-
lowed to receive 1001. for each year of service as a com-
missioned officer, not however exceeding the regulated
price of the commission he held.
3. If a non-clammissioned officer shall have been pro-
mOted to the rank of an ensign, or cornet, or adjutant, he
shall not have a claim to retire by the sale of his commis-
sion unless he chill have served in the army as an officer
on full-pay upwards of one year, in which case he may be
awarded the full price of the commission which he shall
have received without purchase, or such portion thereof
as, with reference to the length of his actual service, shall
be deemed proper by our Commander-in-Chief and Secre-
tary at War.
47. An officer of any of the undermentioned ranks, hav-
ing entered the service since the termination of the war in
1815, and having been permitted to exchange to half-pay,
not OH account of ill health, but for his private convenience,
before lie had served seven years on full-pay, shall be

Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr
Isaac Watts, Assistant-Surveyor, and on Friday was taken
out of the basin for the purpose of making her first trial
trip, with her guns, shot, and shells on board, and in
every respect ready for sea. She left Woolwich at 1 p.m.,
drawing 6 feet 6 inches forward and 7 feet 2 inches aft,
and proceeded in charge of Mr. Mugford, Master of the
Fisgard, who has orders to cruise with her iu the Channel,
and ultimately take her to Portsmouth by Wednesday
next.. Mr. John Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery Afloat,.
proceeded in her, to ascertain and report upon her capa-
bilities for steam, the speed produced, and the working of
her high-pressure engine of 60:horse power. Daring her
progress down the river the engines worked smoothly,
the rate of 220 revolutions par minute, and realising a
speed to the vessel, it was supposed by competent judges,
of 8. knots per hour. She was brought up at Greenhithe
to have her compasses adjusted, previous to proceeding on
her sea trip to Portsmouth.

Tip RUSSIAN PRIZES.
Yesterday notice was given on the Royal Exchange.that
the Russian ship Atlantic, of which Starkings was lsto the
master, as also the Esse (name of late master not certified),
would be condemned as lawful prizes to the Crown within
20 days, they being the property of the Queen's enemies.
Yesterday afternoon the crews of these vessels, principally
Dutchmen (24 in number), arrived in the port of London,
and were placed on board the Crocodile receiving-ship
,off
the Tower. The Russian owners of these ships appear, to
have changed their crews, and provided them with simu..
lated papers, to elude' the British cruisers in the Baltic.

BATTLE OF ALMA.
The following extracts are from a letter written by an
officer of the Royal Artillery :
. Balaklava, Sept. 28, 1854.
"It is one o'clock here in the Crimea, and the post goes
out at two o'clock, I cannot therefore write you a long
letter, but I knew how great will be your pleasure in re-
ceiving an account; however -short, of our general's good
health and good spirits. I do assure you it requires a good
horse to keep up with him, for he is always ' to the front.'
In the confusion of the chase on the 25th, I missed hint,
for leaving Lord Raglan's side at a full gallop, he was
after the rear-guard of the Russians, long before any of us
could get near him. It was a quarter of an hour before I
could overtake him, and yet rode, all rode, as hard as we
could, I assure you. He is now dawn on the beach, examin-
ing the siege train as it lands. We hope to have a house for
you in the Stade Reale (the interpreter is not at hand to put
it into Russ), Sebastopol, for your winter quarters. We are
closing in upon them ; and so doubtful are they of their
feeble tenure of their Crimean stronghold, that on dit our
rencontre on the 25th was with a detachment of the army
marching to escort Prince Menschikoff's carriages, suite,
boxes, and self, out of this tottering possession of the great
Czar, his master. Conceive Prince Menschikofrs audacity
in daring to have .among his stars and garters, and 'other
precious things, a lac-simile of our Royal Horse Artillery
uniform, the blue oloth being of a rather lighter shade:
The horrid crafty old fox ! No doubt he copied it from
our officers who attended the Olmutz and Warsaw reviews
last September. .
" If you are disposed to think I have been remiss in my
duties as aide-de-camp, in not having written to you under
date Crimea, till this moment, permit me to quote the
occupations of the last few days, beginning on the 20th,
OUT previous work having become European in its publicity
long ago. •

passage of the Alma. It is scarcely necessary to say that

1)1 sl'H OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL hoar, 30TH RECII-
MENT.—IE is with fiseiings of the deepest regret, which we
tire certain will be shared in by all our readers, that we
have to announce the death, from cholera, of the above-
named bravo ami l distinguished officer. A native'of our
city, he was well known to many of our readers, to whom
ho was endeared by the warmth anal amiability of his cha-
racter, while his known talents as an officer, and distin-
guished gallantry in the fief t (recognised as it was in Lord
Raglan's despatch), rendered hito the idol of his regiment.
We insert the following extract of a letter from an officer
in the 30th, dated the 3d of October, in reference to his
decease, cut off as ho was in the flush of victory and in the
prhne of manhood :—" The poor colonel is dead. He died
about three days ago of cholera, having been only 24 hours
ill. lam very sorry for him, for he was a gallant follow.
We likewise lost an officer a few days before, a good young
fellow, named Johnston. His death was mere sudden
than the poor coroners, turbo was only about six hours ill.
It is a melancholy thing to think that, after escaping the
murderous fire of the 20th, they should both be cut off by
the worst, enemy we have to contend against. Poor Hooy !
ho was a fine fellow."—Dublin Freeman.

SOLDIERS SICK AND' WOUNDED FUND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Now that the appeal made through your columns
in alleviation of tho wants and sufferings of our

countrymen in the East has been so liberally responded
to as to have supplied funds to the amount of 7,0001.
in seven days, some statement appears called for of the

proposed application of the sums received, as well as of
the practical effects which have resulted from your power

ful advocacy and this expression of public sympathy.
As the real efficiency of the gift lies in immediate action,
it is well to acquaint the public that it has appeared both
to the Times and to me, acting as joint trustees of the
moneys received, that we should best discharge the duties

entailed upon us by at once, without delay, applying the re-

A gentleman, 'therefore, with great qualifications to

fulfil a task of much delicacy and trust, has been commis

shined to proceed within 12 hours to Constantinople, and
there superintend, acting upon the advice of, and as much
as possible in conjunction with, some of our respected
merchants and other persons of influence on the spot, the
distribution of what public gratitude has furnished, not
for the purchase of absolute necessaries, which it is the
province of Government to supply, but, as the Duke of
Beaufort justly observes, of those comforts and even
luxuries which will be "of immense benefit to the
wounded!! An accurate and detailed statement, audited
by Mr. Locke, Mr. Lyne Stephens, and me, will bo fur-
nished of the disbursements which may have taken place
for the public information.
As regards the practical effects which have resulted from
your powerful advocacy and this expression of public sym-
pathy, I would observe that the Secretary of State for War
acquainted me last evening that, although ho trusted many
of the statements which had been current in this country
of the inefficiency of the medical staff in the East to
minister to the wants of our sick and wounded were ex-
aggerated, yet that the greatest benefits had flowed from
the inquiries which the statements in the Times of defi-
ciencies and sufferings, and the public response to them in
this country, had occasioned ; and that in consequence he
had wi itten to the British Ambassador at Constantinople,
urging his immediate attention to the state of the hospitals
which appears from this to have been hitherto neglected,
and that ho had placed at his disposal an unlimited
credit from the public resources, to provide whatever
might be needed to alleviate the acknowledged sufferings of
our men. This liberal application of the public money,
thus tardily placed at the Ambassador's disposal, will not
by any means interfere with the distribution, or, at all
events, the value of the resources of the special fuid for
the sick and wounded, and, in order to maintain a har-
mony of operation, a letter of recommendation (in the
event of its being needed) has been sent to the British Am-
bassador in favour of the gentleman charged with our COl2l-
