THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Set vice Gazette.)
CAPTAIN URQUHART, LATE of THE ROYAL MA-
RINES.—We have heard, from very good authority, that
the Board of Admiralty, in conjunction with the Com-
mander in Chief, have revised the case of Captain
Urquhart, who was struck off the list of the Royal Ma-
rice Corps a short time since, and that, in consideration
of the respectful memorial and explanations of that
gentleman, end bearing in mind his long and gallant
services, they have it in contemplation to recommend to
her Majesty the remission of the severe sentence of
dismissal from the service, with the view of placing the
gallant offic-er on the reserved half-pay list of the corps.
Our authority likewise confirms our previously ex-
pressed belief that Captain Urquhart was not dismissed
from the service in consequence of any supposed cor-
respondence with the public press. Ostensibly and
virtually the offence was one of breach of discipline, for
which Captain Urquhart rendered himself clearly
amenable to the offices of a court-martial, but which,
unfortunately, evoked the summary exercise of the high
prerogative of the Crown, a power undoubted and indis-
putable;
Crown but f for

THE COLOURS OF THE 24th F00T...—. We rejoice to be
able to announce that the regimental colour of this dis-
tinguished regiment has been recovered. It was sup-
posed, and gent rally reported, that in the dreadful con-
flict with the Seilths at Chillianvvallah the colour had
been the enemy. It seems, however, that when
ilien taken by
ensign who bore it in the front of the fight was slain
a gallant and devoted private of the regimenttore the drapery from the staff and wound. it round his
body. The man was killed. After the fight his body
was found, and when preparing for interment the valued
colour was recovered, and is now in possession of the
fragment of a once splendid corps. We have not heard
the name of the soldier who thus spared his gallant
regiment a mortification, but we trust that a monument
will be raised to his memory, for his was not an every-
day deed.
GALLANT CONDUCT OF COMMANDER TARLETON, OF

11. M. S. VENGEANCE, AT GENOA.—A seaman, named
Hays, whilst employed painting ship on March 21, fell
overboard, and nut being able to swim, would evidently
have been drowned before assistance could have reached
him,but for the intrepid and gallant conduct of Comman-
der Tarleton, who instantly jumped overboard, and suc-
ceeded in saving the poor fellow from a watery grave;
and he was promptly got on board again, to the delight
of :all hands. Indeed, the praiseworthy and noble act

has gained for Commander Taricton the admiration of
every soul in the ship.
The (kioucicy of th 641 Foot, vacant by the death
of Fir Geort,.,e Nugen`, has teen Cc:Tl Fer red on Lieutenant-
General Sir J,,hn Gardecer, ecknel c f the 50th,
and the vacancy thus crated in the latter distin-
guished urfs has been t i d up by Major-General Sir
Dudley St. Leger Hill, K.C.8., now i❑ command of the
reserve force on the Sntlej. This removes Sir Dudley
St. Leger 11111 from the list of general officers in the re-
ceipt of live and-twenty shillings per diem unattached
pay.
THE FLAG-SHIP IN THE EAST INDIES.—We under-
stand that the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis
Collier, C. 8., the Hastings, now at China, and mounting
72 guns, with a complement of 600 officers and men, is
to have her armament reduced to 60 guns, and her crew
to 530.

Rear Admiral Sir Charles Napier will haul down his
flag the day he arrives at Spithead. Ile will not shift
it to the Superb from the St. Vincent.
INACCURATE ESTIMATES.—The Admiralty have again
called the attentio❑ of the officers of the dockyards to
the very great difference which is constantly occurring
between the sum estimated for the repairs of her Ma-
jesty's ships and the actual cost of them, and have em-
phatically rtquest(d that in future more care is to be
bestowed in drawing up the estimates.
ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP QUEEN.—This
three-decker, commanded by Captain Bruce, may be
expected to arrive at Devonport, from Naples, by the
end of this month. She wss to leave Sir William Parker
the same day that the Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter,
left England, and was not to stay any longer at Malta
than was absolutely necessary. She will touch at Gib-
raltar for twenty-Lours; but will not call at Lisbon, as
she will come as straight home as she can on leaving
the former rock.
GENERAL SURVEY OF THE DOCKYARDS.—The Admi-
ralty have postponed the general survey of the dock-
yards which they had ordered to take place. That at
Woolwich, however, is to commence on the 2d of April,
and the warrant officers in ordinary are to assist in the
survey.

ROYAL -ARTILLERY.

sioned officers and men of the Royal Regiment of Ar-
tillery having been recommended for gratuities and

STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 30.
Sales of lambs' wools have been flat this week; in prices
we do not quote any alteration.—Clothing wools remain
as quoted last week.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, MARCH 30. —We have had
rather a quiet market fur foreign wools this week, but
prices remain firm.

YORK WOOL MARKET, MARCH 29. There was a
good show of long wool at this market, but only one
perch iser, who bought twelve sheets. Prices nominal.
There being no buyers, no sales could be effected.
LEEDS.—There has been considerable flatness in our
cloth market since this day week. Less than usual was
done both on Sa.urday and Tu. sday at the Cloth Halls,
and fewer goods have been delivered to order than has
beers the case lately; higher prices are asked upon the
lower qualities of goods, but fine and middle qualities
keep steady, and stocks in the clothied hands are less
than usual at this period of the year. Business has also
been dull in the warehouses this week, the cold weather
having a tendency in some degree of preventing the
drap( rs from visiting the market. The foreign houses
continue busy.
BRADFORD, MARCH 29.—The purchasing of all kinds
of combing wools in January and February to an extent
far beyond the annual consumption, has naturally kept
the trade very dull for several weeks. Noils and brakes
are steadily moved off us produced, and the stock on
hand very small, and no change in prices.—Yarns : The
spinners are all generally engaged in old contracts, anal
although butcomparatively few orders have been given out
during March, yet the production of all kinds of yarns is
taken into actual consumption as fast as spun; prices are
firmly maintained for anything to spin, but with a greater
willingness to sell for future delivery than was mani-
f,:sted at the end of last month. The shipping houses
are only doing a wry limited business, occasioned by the
advance in prices, and the unsettled state of the conti-
nent.—Pieces: The weather and the market to-day ap-
pear to have sympathised with each other, both being
very dull; but it is not usual to see the market so near
the close of the month as active as those preceding it.
There is throughout the market a very sanguine feeling
that goods will not be lower.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—The Cloth
market has continued dull throughout the week, and
may be said to close without much prospect of an im-
m,diate rally. The ►enewal of hostilities in Italy—the
soil uncertain aspect of the affairs in Germany, tends to
procrastinate a state of things which may be
called inactive and inclining to a further de-
cline. Must kinds of cloth are again in favour
of the buyer, though stocks are by no means
heavy; but there is an increasing anxiety to quit as fast
as produced, which makes the market so heavy and de-
pressed. Must of the foreign houses are doing a mode-
rate business, whilst that for Mexico and the United
States is very considerable. The Yarn market is a little
easier for the buyer, and probably will continue to be so,
until the foreigners purchase again to their full accus-
tomed extent.

LEIcEsTER.—The business doing in the warehouses is
still principally to orders on hand. Both the worsted
and cotton workmen are fully employed at the advance.
The manufacturer continues his making, hoping eventu-
ally to realise it. The yarn market is steady. The
check received in wools continues, and but little is doing
in th,ru.

NOTTINGHAM.—The cut-up cotton hose branches, in
all the departments, lted,p brisk, not only in Notting-
ham, but in Ruddiugton, Sutton .in-Aslitield, and
wherever this manufacture is carried on; and what is of
equal importance, the articles made are in general of a
very superior quality to what they were a few years ago,
being produced by a subdivision of labour by three or more
hand, from three or more distinct frames, and this method,
so far from retrograding, is increasing. The cotton
glove trade keeps brisk, and several improvements
have been made wherewith to introduce a nap in imi-
tation of fleecy hosiery, which is everything but extinct:
one method is to have a sinker with two nubs, the extra
nobs making a long loop, which, being out makes a
sort of fleecy. The other is a new fabric, produced
from experiments made in attempting to produce warp
velvet lace, which warp machines use three or more
threads to each needle. By using four threads, a
fabric is produced, the inside of the glove being lined
with long velvet.—The silk glove branch continues pretty
go,al, the hands being well employed at advanced wages.
The system of making plated gloves is extending. Such
is the demand for gloves, that hands cannot be found to
work the plain silk frames, which are now left.—The
drawer and pantaloon branch have also obtained a consi-
derable advance of wages.
