THE ARMY.

REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.
Various erroneous reports having been put in circu-
lation with respect to the reduction of the standing
army of the United Kingdom, we are enabled to furnish
our readers with the following official document, just
issued from the Horse Guards :

" Horse Guards, Jan. 29, 1849.
" Her Majesty's Government having determined to effect a
reduction in that portion of the Infantry at present employed
in the home service, and the establishment of regiments at
home and abroad having been fixed, by the Queen, at the
numbers specified in the margin (subjoined), the Com-
mander-in-Chief has been pleased to approve of the follow-
ing arrangements for carrying out that measure, and by
which it appears to his Grace the required reduction may be
effected, with a due regard to the claims and interests of in-
dividuals, and with the least possible inconvenience to the
public service.

"Officers commanding regiments and depots will imme-
diately transmit to this department, or to the Deputy-Ad-
jutant-General at Dublin, descriptive returns (in the form
prescribed at page 198 of her Majesty's regulations) of the
following classes of non-commissioned officers and men, whom
it is proposed to discharge—a separate return being forwarded
for each class, viz. :
" First—Such non-commissioned officers and men as may
be considered by medical officers as of weakly constitution,
and not likely to become robust and efficient soldiers.
"Secondly— Men of short service (provided they have not
served with the regiment abroad) who, having been enlisted
as lads, have not grown to the present standard size pre-
scribed for the Infantry.
" Thirdly—Confirmed drunkards and men of bad character,
provided they are not entitled to pension or gratuity under
any existing warrant.
"Lastly—And only if necessary after having disposed of
the three classes above specified, a return of such non-
commissioned officers and men, without distinction as to age
or length of service, as may be disinclined to continue in the
army, and desirous of being relieved from their engagement.
" Commandingofficers will be careful not to include in any
of the above categories, or bring forward for discharge youths,
the sons of soldiers, born in the army, or brought up at the
Royal Military Asylum, or Hibernian School, and enlisted by
special authority, without first ascertaining that their friends
are willing to receive, and have the means of providing for
them.

"Officers commanding depots will take care to reserve
supernumeraries sufficient, not only to fill up all vacancies in
the service companies, but to replace such non-commissioned
officers and men as are ascertained to be about to be inva-
lided, or to become otherwise non-effective.
" Such supernumerary non-commissioned officers and men
as may remain over, after this arrangement shall have been
fully carried into effect, will, for the present, be borne on the
strength of their respective regiments, with a view to their
being ultimately absorbed in the establishment; but officers
in command of the service companies must be careful not to
make any fresh promotions or appointments of non commis-
sioned officers until the whole of the supernumeraries at the
depots shall have been disposed of.
" Regiments will, of course, discontinue all further recruit-
ing until they shall have respectively fallen below the esta-
blishments now prescribed.
" Non-commizsicned officers and men, discharged under
these regulations, will be entitled to carry with them the
whole of their clothing now in wear.
" By command of Field Marshal the Duke of
" Wellington, Commander-in-Chief.
" JOHN MACDONALD, A.G."

NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.
PoszsmouTH, TuunsDAY.—The Centaur st eam-frigate,
Captain C. H. M. Buckle, is to proceedbencetbPalrykin
outh,
at which place she is to be paid advance, and eta
Com-
modore Fanshawe, C.B. She hauled off from ttie jetty this
afternoon.
The Arrogant, 46, was hauled from alongside .the Victo-
rious to the jetty this morning.
The Sprightly steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander H.
BarFlard, was put out of commission last evening.
The Racer, 16, Lieutenant-Commander Bacon, is hourly
expected here from Plymouth. She is ordered on her arrival
to be prepared for sea immediately.
In the recent trip to Plymouth of the five steamers--
Growler, Driver, Salamander, Rattler, and Jackal, the
latter proved the fastest vessel, which is confirmed by the
statements of various persons who were on board the re-
spective steamers. It is well known to those -rrho were in
the vessels that when the signal was matte at daylight on
Sunday for the squadron to proceed without reference to
seniority, the Jackal, although her steam was down at the
time and then being twelve miles off Plymouth, was the
first into Hamoaze; the Growler followed. The Jackal is
one of the condemned half•dozen iron vessels.
Wind, S.E. by E., light breezes and thick hazy weather,
