WOOLWICH, JUNE 13.—The importance of the royal
steam navy to this country, and the great responsibility
devolving on the engineers of that branch of her Ma-
jesty's service, having rendered it advisable to hold out
greater inducements than have hitherto been offered, to
insure talented and fully competent engineers remaining
in the royal navy, when great advantages and high pay
were offered by private companies, and high rank and
pay by foreign Governments, the following rules and re-
gulations have been made, for the benefit of the engi-
neers of the royal steam navy of Gr Br tai
eat in:—
" Admiralty, May 31, 1847.
" Her Majesty having been pleased by her Order in
Council of the 27th of February to sanction a new clas-
sification for engineers in the royal navy, with certain
alterations as to the appointment, rank, and pay of these
officers, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you the accompanying
copies of the rules and regulations respecting
rs the exaer-
mination, rank, pay, and appointment of enginee und
the new establishment- But at the same time I am to
acquaint you that all engineers at present in the service
are to be continued at their present scale of pay and al-
lowances, rank, and denomination, until they shall be
promoted into the new establishment, when they are to
be furnished with pay documents up to that date, and
their names are to be removed on the ship's books from
the fourth list Warrant Officers, to the second list
Commission Officers,' civil branch.
" Those engineers who draw bills for their pay as
warrant officers may include the residue of that pay in
the first quarterly bill they may draw on the new esta-
blishment, great care being taken that the period of ser-
vice and the amount of pay on each list be clearly distin-
guished on the bill; but those who have not drawn bills,
having allotment in force, are to draw their quarterly
bills from the date of promotion only, and the captain
or commanding officer is to notify without loss of
time, by letter, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, the
date of promotion, in order that the allotments may be
stopped.
" By command of their Lordships,
" li. G. WARD,"

RENEWED YOUTII.—Since the magic cauldron of
Medea went out of use there has been no invention by
which old men and women could be restored to youth;
but we learn from the notices of recent American
patents, in Newton's London Journal of the Arts for the
present month, that a citizen of Cincinnati has taken out
a patent for the next best thing in tha: line—namely, an
invention for making people look young again, by restor-
ing fulness or roundness to the cheeks! Ile proposes to
effect this purpose " by means of metallic bulbs, formed,
fitted to, and secured in the mouth, by any suitable at-
tubment, between the jawbones and the oheek I"
