MILITARY INTELLIGENC
Copies of the following letter have been addressed to per-
sons seeking information as to the probable fate of their rela-
tives amongst the non-commissioned officers and privates in
those of her Majesty's regiments which took part in the bat-
tles of Mosdkee and•Ferozesbah. The list of the "killed in
the 3d (the King's Own) Regiment Light Pragoon, was re-
ceived a few days since, and ordered for publication
_in the
'Gazette of last night.
" War-Office. 12th Mara, 1846.
"Sir,—l am directed to acknowledge your letter of the
instant, and to acquaint you that as soon u the return
of the names of the men killed in action at iloodkee and Fe-.
rozeshah are received they will be published. ,
"I am,'sir, your obedient servant,
" S. SULIVAN.

6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards (Carabineers).—We are
authorised to state that this regiment is not about to pro-
ceed to India, as stated in a paragraph (copied from a pro-
vincial journal) which has been latterly going the round of
the London papers.
7th (the Princess Royal's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards,
serving on the frontiers of the British possessions, Cape of
Good Hope.—Major•General Sir George Scovell, K.C.8.,
Waterloo and Peninsula officer, Governor of the Royal Mili-
tary College, has been appointed colonel of this regiment, in
the room of General Sir Evan Lloyd.
7th (the Queen's Own) Regiment of Light Dragoons
(Hussars).—Major-General Sir William Tuyll has received
the colonelcy of this regiment, in the room- of Sir James
Kearney, lately deceased. He WAS one of the aides-de-camp
to the Marquis of Anglesey when on foreign serVice, and' Ins -
private secretary when Viceroy of Ireland. Being a foreigner
(a native of Holland), a special Act of Parliament WAS passed
some years since to enable him to obtain the rank of a general
•
officer in the British army.
13th (Prince Albert's) Regiment of Light Infantry.—
Major- General Sir Wm. Gomm has been selected by the
Commander-in-Chief to succeed the late Sir R. H. Sale in
thn_coioneley of thia corps. The Gallant General has been
fifty-two years in the army, and ,was. last in the Coldstream
Guards. Ho was appointed Governor and Comniander-iu-
Chief of the Mauritius, where he is now stationed, in IM2.
There is no foundation for the report set afloat by a
Brighton paper, to the effect that the 17th Lancers, lately
stationed there, are on the rester for Indian service.
We regret to state that, owing to an informality in attes-
tation, the Grenadier Guards are daily losing numbers of
men. Indeed, it is now pretty well understood that upwards
of 700 men in the British army are in the same position.
The informality consists in the men having been enlisted in
one county or division and attested in another, which ren-
ders their enlistments wholly informal. In some instances
this circumstance has been recently ascertained of men who
have been many years in the service, and the authorities
appear ddubtful how to act.

Viscountess Palmerston will have a grand assembly
to-night, when most of the Foreign Ministers and a brilliant assem-
blage of the leading aristocracy will attend.
The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury are still resid-
ing at Palermo, and it is with great pleasure we hear that the object
of their visit, to the delightful climate of Sicily has been fully realised
in the restoration of his Lordship's nephevi and liar, 'Mr. Talbot, to
perfect health. Lord and Lady Shrewsbury intend returning to Eng-
land in June neat.--Dublin Ettenitg Post.
Sir Robert Peel acknowledges the receipt of 11/. 10s.,
from some person unknown, on account of income-tax.
. The anniversary entertainment of the officers engaged
in the Egyptian campaign of 1801, under Sir ,Ralph Abercrombie,
took place last evening at the Senior United Service Club, Pall-mall.
The customary day for this annual meeting was the Bth instant. the
anniversary of the landing of the British troops; but this year, it
having occurred on the Sabbath, it was deferred until the 13th inst.,
the anniversary of the first action with the enemy. In 1836, when
we noticed this gathering, above forty officers assembled under the
presidency of Lord Hill, the then General Commanding-in-Chief, but
time has limited the gallant individuals who share the glories of that
campaign, and on Friday only eleven were present :—The Marquis
of Westmeath presided, and in addition were General Paul Ander-
son, C. 8., Colonel of the 78th Foot; Major-General John. Duffy,
C.B. ; Major-General Thomas Kenah, C.B. ; Colonel Iremonger,
Lieutenant-Colonel Elwin, Rear-Admiral D. Dundas, Captain Lloyd

Captain read, and Captain Kelley.
We understand that the date of the latest dispatches
from the Governor-General is the 19th of January. It is obviously im-
passible therefore that any certain or direct intelligence can have been
received in this country, or in France, as to the affairs which are re-
ported in the Delhi Gazette of the 24th of that month to have taken
place on the 21st, in the vicinity of Loodianah, or as to the attack

PRESIDENT POLY " PRISONER OF . WAR" TO Erra-
LAND. —lt is a curious fact that the President of the United. States,
the warlike and pugnacious Polk, was a prisoner of wax, in the year
1812, to the " Britishers." Mr. Polk was then a subaltern in the
United States army, and was captured on the ice, near Detroit, by a
party of the 41st Regiment of Foot, under the command of Captain
Bullock. General Cass, the bellicose military orator in the American
Legislature, also fell, by the fortune of war, into the hands of the
English forces in the same year.
TROTTING MITCH.—On Thursday the thatch be-
tween Mr. Gould's mare and Mr. Wentwood's cob, which were
matched for 101. a side, to trot in harness upon two miles of road,
came off at Brixton. The nags were driven by their owners. The
former came in the winner by one hundred yards, and in seven
minutes and ten seconds.
DEATH OF ONE OF NIEL GoW'S BAND.—Mr. Peter
Miele, the only surviving member, with one, exceptlen, of Niel
(low's celebrated "reel Land," died at Perth, on the ist inst., at
the advanced age of 83. The survivor Is old Peter Murray, of Inver,
now also an octogenarian, and who, with his namesake now de-
ceased, have long outlived all the rest of that corps, without whose
exhilirating strains no joyous meeting, from the fashionable assem-
bly to the humble " penny wedding," could be said to be sightly
constituted. It has been often a subject of regret that none of this
famous coterie had the turn to leave on record any of the Mehl-
farious adventures which befel them in the exercise of their calling.
which, from want of the facilities for travelling at the time, neves•
sarily partook n-nch of the characteristics of the gaberlunzle. After
breaking up of the band, upon the death of its head, John and Peter
Bowie, brothers, took up shop in Perth, as music-sellers and teachers
of the violin and piano-forte, and from their talents, as well as their
former popular connexion, enjoyed a large share of public support.
The elder brother deceased upwards of thirty years ago, unmarried,
and the survivor, being a man of frugal habits, and continuing in the
exercise of his profession till lately, amassed a considerable fortune,
the greater part of which, we understand, he has bequeathed to the
charities of this place.—Perthshire Courier.
OUT-PENSIONERS OF CHELSEA AND GREENWICH.--
The Bill just introduced into the House of Commons for regulating
the payment of the out-pensioners of Greenwich and Chelsea Hospi-
tals proposes the repeal of various statutes on the subject, and of
such part of 2 and 3 Viet., c. al, as refers to repayment of relief
granted to Chelsea and Greenwich out-pensioners. Tile 'BID then
proposes to enact that the Secretary at War. may regulate the
payment of these out-pensioners, and that the accounts arc to be
audited as army effective services, with a saving of the Pow. er.e
of the Commissioners of the Admiralty and Chelsea 1101PIte"

mentioned is to be indicted for frauds respecting pensions. Green
