THE ARMY.

In consequence of the appointment of Major-Generals
Hay and Wood to the vacant regiments' the monies
granted to those officers as rewards for distinguished
services will revert to the disposal of his Grace the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and their names will also be removed
from the list of general officers in receipt of the Unat-
tached pay of 1/. ss. a day.
The retirement of Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton,
G.C.8., from the important situation of Lord High Com-
missioner and Commander of her Majesty's troops in the
lonian Islands, is again currently reported; in the event
of which, it is supposed Lord Grey will bend a civilian
out to direct the Government, and that 'Major. General
Conyers, C. 8., will remain as commander of the forces
in those islands.

General Conyers succeeded his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge as Colonel of the Staff at Corfu,
and was permitted to remain in that capacity after bis
promotion to the rank of Major-General, as was the case
with Sir George Berkeley, K.C.8., who assumed the
chief command.of the troops upon the arrival of Mr.
Stewart Mackenzie as the Lord High Commissioner, in
succession to Lieutenant-General Sir Howard Douglas,
Bart., G.C.B.

WOOLWICH, FEB. 12.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Captain Cheetham's company,
11th battalion, assembled at ten o'clock to-day on the
guard-mounting parade, in heavy marching order, for
the Commandant's inspection. The company will em-
bark at Roff's-wharf to-morrow for conveyance to the
Nine Elms station, and proceed by railway to Ports-
mouth, to relieve Major Lethbridge's company, sth bat-
talion, the latter being the seventh on the roster for
foreign service.

Three non-commissioned officers and twenty gunners
of Captain Beresford's company, 10th battalion, arrived
at head-quarters at Woolwich, on Saturday, from Dover,
to take over the stores, &c., of Major• Griffin's company,
at present doing field battery duty, Captain Beresford's
company being ordered up from Dover to go through a
course of field battery exercises. Captain Btrchanan's
company, 11th battalion, proceeds on Wednesday to
Dover, to relieve Captain Beresford's company from that
station. .

Captain Marriott's company, 11th battalion, proceeds
from head-quarters at Woolwich to Chatham on Thurs-
day, to relieve Captain Crawford's company, 10th bat-
talion, under orders to return to head-quarters to go
through a course of field battery exercises. The limited
number of men in the Royal Artillery when the 10th
battalion was formed rendered it necessary to send com-
panies to Portsmouth, Dover, and Chatham, before the
young men had acquired a full knowledge of the duties
of artillery, and the two companies from the latter-
named stations will have that defect, which can only be
done in a perfect manner at Woolwich, made good at
head quarters.

A statement having appeared in a contemporary
that Rear-Admiral Dundas, senior naval Lord of the
Admiralty, andll.P. for Greenwich, is about to relieve
Vice• Admiral Sir William Parker, in the command of
the Mediterranean squadron, we ha►e authority to state
that the report is entirely without foundation.—Times.

HULL, FAD. 13.—This morning was deposited
within the catacombs of the beautiful grounds of the
Hull Cemetery, the mortal remains of Herbert Seaton,
Esq., of this place, whose death took place, .on the 7th
instant at the age of 66 years.. Mr. Seaton had
been an active and efficient member of the
Town Council ever since the passing of the
Municipal Reform Act, and was ever ready to work
for the reform cause and the rooting out of all abuses.
Societies with whom he was connected either as an
officer or member in him have lost an untiringly useful
and honourable friend. His funeral was well attended,
the fine body of police for which Hull is celebrated were
in procession, Mr. Seaton having long been one of the
gentlemen composing the watch committee of the bo-
rough. There was a fair sprinkling of aldermen and
town councillors, whilst the numerous private friends
present proved how much he was respected.
