THE ARMY.

The following order has just been promulgated :
WILLIAM IV.

Whereas it has been represented to us that it would ma-
terially tend to the encouragement of good conduct in the
army if a reward, to be attained only by the well-con-
ducted soldier, were submitted for the additional pay now
granted to soldiers who have completed certain periods of
service, our will and pleasure is, that all soldiers who shall
enlist into our service on or after the first day of Septem-
ber, 1836, shall have no claim to additional pay after any
period of service ; but that a reward for additional pay for
good conduct shall be granted to such soldiers under the
following rules :-
1. Soldiers who shall have completed seven years' ser-
vice, shall be entitled to claim Id. per day, and to wear a
ring of lace round the right arm, provided their names
shall not have been entered in the Regimental Defaulters'
for at least two years immediately preceding such claim.
2. Soldiers who shall have completed 14 years' service,
shall be entitled to claim a further reward of Id. a day, and
to wear two rings of lace round the right arm, provided
they shall have been uninterruptedly in the enjoyment of
the Id. a day for at least two years immediately preceding
such further claim.

3. Soldiers who shall have completed 21 years' service
shall be entitled to claim a further reward of Id. a day, and
to wear three rings of lace round the right arm, provided
they shall have been uninterruptedly in the enjoyment of
the 2d. a day for two years immediately preceding their
claim to the third penny.
4. Soldiers who by their good conduct shall have obtained
the distinction of one or more rings shall be entitled to have
the full rate of that good conduct pay, of which they shall
have been in uninterrupted possession for five years imme-
diately preceding their discharge, added to their rate of
pension, whether temporary or permanent, to which they
may have a right under the provisions of our warrant of the
7th of February, 1833.
5. Soldiers who have been in the possession of some one
or other of the rates of good conduct pay for five years
uninterruptedly, but who have only been in possession of
either of the higher rates for some period not less than two
years immediately preceding their discharge, shall be en-
titled, if discharged with two rings, to an addition of 11d.,
and if discharged with three rings, to an addition of 2d.,
as an augmentation of the pension to which their services
will entitle them.
6. Soldiers who shall have been in the uninterrupted pos-
session of good conduct pay for at least three years imme-
diately preceding their discharge for inability,or by reduction,
and who shall not have acquired claims to pensions, or who
shall be entitled only to temporary or conditional pensions,
shall have their names registered at Chelsea Hospital ; and
upon their attaining sixty years of age shall receive, as a
reward for their former good conduct, a pension of 4d.
a-day if discharged with one ring, and of 6d. a-day if dis-
charged after having been twelve months in possession of
two rings ; and this reward for former good conduct shall
also be extended to soldiers who may be permitted to obtain
free discharge at their own request, as an indulgence, after
certain periods of service, as described in the 10th article
of this warrant.
7. All soldiers now in our service who enlisted since the
Ist of March, 1833, shall have the option of relinquishing
all right to the additional pay of 2d. per day to which they
are now entitled after the completion of 14 years' infantry,
or 17 years' cavalry service, and shall then be entitled by
their good conduct to claim ld. a-day after seven years'
service, and shall be, in all respects, entitled to all the ad-
vantages both of good conduct, pay while serving, of pen-
sion on discharge, and of deferred pension, which are
hereby granted to soldiers henceforward enlisting.
8. All soldiers now serving who enlisted on before the
Ist of March, 1833, shall, by relinquishing their right to
additional pay for length of service, be entitled to claim all
the advantage of good conduct pay while serving, which are
hereby granted ; but as the warrants which were in force
at the time of their original enlistment give them a right to
higher rates of pension on discharge than those which are
to be granted to men enlisted after the Ist of March,lB33,
they will not be entitled to have their good conduct pay
added to their pensions on discharge.
9. In special cases, however, of men enlisted on or be-
fore the Ist of March, 1833, who, by their good conduct,
have obtained the distinction of one or more rings, who,
after short service, may be discharged for disabilities or by
reduction, either without pension, or with temporary, or
conditional, or permanent pensions (not exceeding those
granted for similar disabilities and services under our war-
rant of the 7th of February, 1836), the good conduct pay
may, by the consent of our Secretary at War, be added to
their pension ; and such men, if not placed on permanent
pensions, may be registered at Chelsea for the deferred pen-
sion under the same rules as the men enlisted after the Ist
of March, 1833.
10. Soldiers who shall have obtained the distinction of
one or more rings, and who may be permitted to purchase
or to obtain free discharge at their own request, shall he
allowed free discharges upon the following terms, instead of
those prescribed by the warrant of our late Royal brother,

of the 14th of November, 1829, and by our warrant of the
7th of February, 1833 ; but the conditions, limitAtions,
regulations for granting discharges by indulgenCies,
down in the said warrants, shall, in the cases of all
.other
soldiers, remain in full force : laid

11 . Soldiers enlisted since the Ist of March, 1833, who
are in the enjoyment of two or three rings, and of the good-
conduct pay, may obtain permanent pension as an indul-
gence, at the rate fixed in the warrant of the 7th of Feb-
ruary, 1833, two years earlier than other men who have
not earned this distinction, and may further receive the
same amoant of good-conduct pay which would have been
added to their ordinary pension, under the rules laid down
in this warrant, if they had been discharged as unfit for
further service or by reduction.
12. As it is our will and pleasure that this reward shall
be strictly an honourable distinction, to be conferred upon
the well-conducted soldier, the commanding officers of regi-
ments are strictly enjoined to enter in the Regimental De-
faulters' Book the name of every soldier who, in conse-
quence of any misconduct whatever, shall have been
confined in the guard-house, or subjected to any punish
ment ; and the commission of every offence which shall
impose uuon the commanding officer the necessity of re-
cording the soldier's name in the Regimental Defaulters'
Book shall render the man ineligible for this reward for two
years from that date, and if he be already in possession of
this distinction shall deprive him of his ring and good-con-
duct pay for one year ; and a second recorded offence
within twelve months shall render two years of uninter-
rupted good conduct necessary to obtain a restoration of
such reward.

13. The soldier having two or three rings shall in like
manner for the first and second recorded offences forfeit one
ring, and the good conduct pay allowed with it for one year
for each offence : and if a third offence be recorded against
him in the Regimental Defaulters' Book within twelve
months he shall forfeit all claim in consequence of his pre-
vious good conduct, and shall only be entitled to obtain a
restoration of his honourable distinctions by subsequently
serving with uninterrupted good conduct for two years to
obtain one ring, for four years to obtain two rings, and for
six years to obtain three rings.
14. Any soldier who by having been recorded in the
Regimental Defaulters' Book shall have been adkidged to
have been guilty of an offence by which he is to forfeit the
whole or a part of his reward for previous good conduct,
shall, if he denies the commission of such offence, have the
right of appeal to a Court-Martial.
15. A soldier may, for a first offence of a serious nature,
be adjudged, by the sentence of a Court-Martial, to forfeit
all or any part of the advantages he had derived from his
previous good conduct, either absolutely, or for a longer or
shorter period, according to the circumstances which shall
have appeared in evidence.
16. The distinction and the rewards granted by this war-
rant will be extended to corporals and drummers, both as
regards pay and pension, but serjeants and other non-
commissioned officers will not be allowed, while serving,
any addition to their established pay, but on their discharge
they may, for peculiarly good conduct, on the special re-
commendation of our General Commanding-in-Chief, and
by the consent of our Secretary-at-War, communicated to
the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, be allowed addi-
tions of id., 2d., or 3d. a day to their pensions ; provided
that the aggregate pension shall in no case exceed for a
serjeant ls. 10d., for a quarter-master-serjeant 2s. id., and
for a serjeant-major 2s. 4d. a day.
Given at our Court at Windsor, this 18th day of August,
1836, in the seventh year of our reign.—By his Majesty's
command. HOWICK.

Amanda, a young shopwoman of the Faubourg
Poissonniere, whose dazzling beauty has formed the attraction
of a thousand idlers, set off in the beginning of last week
with a favoured lover, a supernumerary clerk in one of the
public offices. More than twenty-four hours having elapsed
without the re-appearance of the lovers, the parents of each
became alarmed, and made every inquiry as to the direction
they had taken, but in vain. At length a letter arrived front
the lost Amanda, announcing, that as fate seemed to be op-
posed to their union, they had gone to St. Germain with a de-
termination to put an end to their miseries and their lives, but
as the attempt had been made and failed, they were waiting'
under the shelter of the Ange Gardien for the pardon or
their parents. It was found that, in fact, they had arrived at
this hotel, and had both stabbed themselves with a poniard
they had taken with them for the purpose. The blood, how-
ever, which flowed, and the physical pain they incurred front
the first entrance of the dagger into their bosoms, instantly
overcame their moral sufferings, and induced them to call
aloud for a surgeon, who, on examining the wounds, pro-.
nounced them to be little more than mere scratches. In the
end, the heroic lover returned to his office, and the fair Amanda
to her shop, where their courage has been again put to we
test by the ridicule of their companions.

A short time ago an attempt was made to rob the
apartment of a journeyman jeweller in the Rue St. Martin,
which had such an effect on the nerves of his wife that she sr:
under a constant alarm of thieves breaking in. One night
last week the poor woman suddenly awoke her husband, a 1:
suring him with cries and other signs of the utmost terror Ost
a man had got into the room and had attempted to cut het
throat. The husband sprang from the bed, seized a km%
and, in moving about in the dark, at length fancied he ha!
found the intruder, to whom he gave two strokes with
knife, and then shouted for the guard, which soon came 917
lights, when it was discovered that the person he had stabber
in his confusion from fright and darkness was no other thil
his own wife, who was senseless and bleeding from a w°l?,,
in her arm and another in the chest. Upon the representattud,
of the neighbours, the almost distracted man was not arreste
and, a surgeon being called in, declared that the wounds ue
had given, though severe, were not dangerous.

MATRIMONIAL AGENCY.—M. de Foy, the
trirnonial agent, being ungratefully denied his stipulated
trhei
ward by a Benedict for whom he had procured a nreia,
bride, brought his action before the Tribunal de Premiere on
stance, but his suit was negatived. An appeal was madcded
Saturday to the Royal Court, which, however, also dec'uty
that the contract between the votary of Hymen and his de/the
was not good in the Courts of Justitia. In the course Of .00
proceedings it appeared that the candidates for admission 2.„
the temple of the saffron-robed deity were called upon to st
a contract binding themselves to leave all the means for .21:10
complishing the desired union to the experience and vrisclots
of M. de Foy, who never makes known the subordinate agS,O
he employs, or his mode of proceeding, and stipulating o¢
the fortunate husband shall pay a sum equal to 5 per Cerioubla
the dower he may receive, as a compensation for the tr.
and expense in conducting the negotiation to a happy tss
and as a token of the gratitude of the successful aspirant'
Galignani.
