Mr. Childers having approved the reports of the
committee appointed to investigate the method of
keeping the accounts at the several divisions of
Royal Marines, one of the principal recommenda-
tions came into effect at the Chatham division on
the Ist inst., as an experiment for six months—the
payment of the men once a week, instead of three
times a week as heretofore, the abolition of the
credits on the men's individual ledgers, and the
Paymaster being held responsible for all cash
transactions. By this method the number of the
pay sergeants will be reduced by one-half, and the
work in the Paymaster's office sensibly diminished.
The credits, on these ledgers, amounting to several
hundred pounds, were paid over to the men at the
end of the year without any prejudicial effect. The
new system of payment, it is understood, is most
acceptable to the men, and, as all the married men
and Marines employed as artificers have heretofore
been paid weekly without any hindrance with re-
spect to discipline, there would seem to be no rea-
son why the experiment should not prove a success,
and thereby engender habits of frugality. The
system will doubtless hereafter be adopted in the
other Divisions and in the Royal Marine Artillery,
and may eventually be introduced into the army
generally.
The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, 1, from
Woolwich and Portsmouth (having had to put into
Dartmouth through stress of weather), arrived on
Tuesday at Plymouth. After discharging super-
numeraries for the Royal Adelaide, boys for. the
Impregnable, and stores into Devonport yard, she
will embark two gangs of riggers and a party of
seamen from the Indus, in charge of Staff-Com-
mander Spain, for the purpose of navigating the
new double-screw iron armour-plated ship Invin-
cible, 14, from Glasgow to Devonport. The Dee
will probably sail about the 12th instant.
The Cerberus, 4, armour-plated turret-ship, pre-
paring for sea in No. 4 Dock in Chatham dockyard,
is making great progress towards completion. The
riggers are busily engaged in their department, and
the other work is being pushed forward, so that
there is no reason to doubt that the ship will be
ready to leave for Australia at the time fixed in
May next. The Cerberus is intended for the de-
fence of Melbourne.

Lieutenant-Colonel W. Lawtie Morrison, R.E.,
has joined the School of Military Engineering at
Brotnpton Barracks, Chatham, to succeed Colonel
Gerald Graham, C. 8., V.C., who has been ordered
to Manchester for duty.
The draught of the Ist battalion of the Ist Regi-
ment, ordered to join the service companies in
Madras, is to leave Chatham on Friday for Ports-
mouth to embark. The large draughts which have
left Chatham lately have so reduced the number of
duty men in Chatham Barracks that the various
garrison duties fall very heavily on those who re-
main ; the draughts of the Ist and 2d Regiments,
who are under orders to leave, will augment this
pressure on those who remain.
OBITUARY.—The numerous friends of Major
George W. Whistler will learn with regret of his sudden
death, at Brighton, England, on the morning of the 14th
December. Major Whistler was the builder of the Moscow
and St. Petersburg Railroad, in company with Winans
and Brothers. A man of much intellect, of considerable
wealth, and of great liberality, ho was a frequent contri-
butor to Notes and Queries, and published an edition of
some of Shakspere's plays with original notes. Ho
probably possessed the best and largest of the many
editions of Shakspere existing in any private library. His
family will remain for the present at Brighton.— Minnie,
the only daughter of W. T. Mortimer, Esq., of New York,
died of consumption at Paris a few days ago.—Dominique
Lanata, an old merchant of New Orleans, died recently,
leaving a fortune of a million and a quarter. —Mrs. Schutt,
probably the oldest person in Massachusetts, died at
Mout t Washington, Berkshire county, on Monday,
the 13th of December, aged one hundred and seven years.--
Deacon Edward Southworth died at West Springfield
suddenly, Dec. 11.—Dr. Albert J. Bellows, the celebrated
hotnceopathic physician, died at Boston on Saturday, Dec.
11, aged 65.—Among the deaths in Providence and
vicinity are Amass Manton, for half a century a leading
Providence merchant, Rev. Dr. George Tait, 78, for 49
years rector of St. Paul's Church of Pawtucket, and Dr.
Johnson Gardner, 71, once member of the governor's
council in Massachusetts.—Ex-Chief Justice Henry M.
Waite died at Lyme, Connecticut, Tuesday afternoon,
Dec. 14, aged 83.
LADTERTIEBMENT. I—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Fear Not ! Though surrounded by circumstances disad-
vantageous to health, these remedies, if properly applied,
will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria,
and a host of other complaints always lurking about to
seize on the weak, forlorn, and unwary. The superiority
of Holloway's medicines has been so fully and widely
proved for subduing disease, that it is only necessary to ask
the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions
folded around them be followed, no disappointment will
ever ensue, or dangerous consequences result. In hoarse-
ness and ulcerated sore throat, the ointment should fre-
quently be rubbed on the neck and top of the chest, it will
arrest the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, and
gradually cure.
LADVERTISHMENT.J—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica,
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. The health of the Holy
