THE ARMY.

The following circular letter, dated War Office, May
18, 1849, has just been issued to officers commanding
regiments:—
Sir,—With reference to the Horse Guards circular,
dated September 16, 1845, prescribing the monthly
rates to be paid by noncommissioned officers and
soldiers for their instruction in the regimental school,
and also to the general order, No. 591, dated
the 10th of April last, requiring that all recruits shall
attend the garrison or regimental school daily until dis-
missed from drill, to receive instruction, I am directed
to acquaint you that, from the 10th of April last, all re-
cruits so attending the schools are to be subjected to the
charge of 4d. per month.
" The amount of subscriptions at this rate is to be
charged to the recruits monthly, from the dates on
which they commence to receive instruction from the
regimental schoolmaster, and to be paid over to the
paymaster of the regiment or depot under your com-
mand, who will give credit for the same in his quarterly
pay list.
" The regimental schoolmaster is to furnish to the
paymaster a monthly list of the names of the recruits
who have received instruction from him. containing
their names, and the periods from and to which, and the
number of days they have attended the school.
" This return will enable the paymaster to charge the
officer paying troops or companies with the amount of
subscriptions due, and he will then annex it to his pay
list to explain the credit given.
" A quarterly list in the same form will be transmitted
through you by the regimental schoolmaster to the Se-
cretary at War.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your

son on the 16th instant. A draft of the 19th Regiment
arrived on Saturday, per Ocean steamer, from Dublin,
to await conveyance to Montreal, in which place the
service companies are et present stationed. A draft,
consisting of 1 officer and 72 rank and file of the 6th
Royal Warwickshire Regiment, arrived this day; also a
draft of I officer and 52 rank and file of the 73d Regi-
meat. Those drafts are to await the arrival of the liugh
Walker transport, which is to convey them to the Cape
of Good Hope.

ROTFIERIIAM.—Two men have been taken into
custody for selling what purported to be "An account of
the dreadful assassination of Emily Sandford, by Rash's
son James." The paper purported to have been copied
from a telegraphic dispatch, and stated that young Rush
had invited his victim to the new residence of his family,
and that her brains had been beaten out by a poker,
and that she died instantaneously. The whole story was
false, and the two " flying stationers" will be punished
for their infamous hoax.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—Mr. Jelinger Symons was
prevented from attending the dinner of the Ilerefordshire
Society by serious. ndisposition, caused by a singular
accident on Wednesday last. It appears that Mr. Symons
was riding incautiously within reach of the breakers on
the beach at Aberystwith, when horse and rider were
knocked down and immersed by an unusually largo wave.
