THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Serviee Gazette.)
THE MILITARY MEDALS.—We have already stated
that the distribution will take place in the present
month. Of the manner of the distribution we are not
able to speak decidedly, but we think it will be some-
thing after this fashion :—The issue will take place
under the auspices of Mr. Lindsay, and from the
Commander-in Chief's office. All officers will receive
their medals, on applicati )n direct to the Military Se-
cretary at the Horse Guards. The staff officers of pen-
sioners will be called upon to furnish lists of the whole
of the claimants (whether pensioners or otherwise) within
their districts, and on receipt of those lists the medal
for each claimant will be forwarded to the staff officers
for delivery.
THE STAFF.—Captain Mackenzie, 92d Foot, isMajor
of Brigade in Kilkenny. Ensign Grant, 79th Foot, and
Lieutenant the Hon. A. Egerton, of the Grenadier
Guards, have been appointed Aides de-Camp to the
Earl of Elgin, Captain-General and Governor-in Chief
of the British provinces in North America. Ensign
Wise, 57th Foot, has ceased to be an extra Aide-de-
Camp to Sir Harry Smith, Governor of the Cape of
Good Hope. Staff Surgeon T. Lewis, M.D., has suc-
ceeded Staff Surgeon W. Munro, is the Coventry re-
cruiting district.
THE STAFF. —Mai OT- G W. H. Sewell, C. 8., has
been appointed to the Staff of the Madras Army, in the
room of Sir E imund Keynton Williams, whose four
years have expired. The Major-General, some few
years since, held the office of Deputy Quartermaster-
General to Lhe Queen's troops at Madras, and therefore
takes with him to the scene of his future command the
advantage of local experience.
BARRACK DEPARTMENT. Mr. S. R. Warren has
succeeded the late Major Chipc:iase as Barrack Master
at Windsor. Captain James Murray has succeeded Mr.
Brian Hodgson as Barrack Master at Canterbury,
being himself succeeded, at Gosport, by the Hon. W.
J. P. Gore. Lieutenant J. O'Brien, from the Sligo Sta-
tion, has been appointed Barrack Master at Drogheda,
vice Gore. Mr. T. Townsend is Barrack Master at
Liverpool. The charge of the temporary Barracks in
Dublin has been transferred from Mr. C. Raton to Mr.
S. Zobell, lately at Tralee. Mr. J. Q Wall has ceased
to be Barrack Master at Nee castle, county Limerick,
and has been appointed to Tralee. Mr. A. T. Munro
has succeeded Lieutenant O'Brien at Sligo. Ordnance
Storekeeper P. Drouet is acting as barrack master in the
Bahamas, vice Butcher. Mr. %V. Macdonald has ceased
to be barrack master at La Prairie, Canada. Deputy
Storekeeper E. Block is barrack master at Dominica,
vice Mr. H. Ralph.
UNATTACHED PAT.—Major-General Sir William
Paylle of twentyrries,C.B yve al has succeeded to the Unattached
shillings
per diem, from the 16th
of the present month. A distinguished cavalry officer,
Sir William Herries, bears upon his person the evi-
dences of his daring and intrepidity. He commenced
his military career under disadvantageous auspices, hay-
in served on the staff at Buenos Ayres in 1806, and
in the fatal expedition to Walcheren. But,
12u,eSnitrlyWilliam accompanied the illustrious Paget
ins subsequently
to Spain, and served on the staff, after the retreat from
Burgos, until 1814. He was present at Vittoria, San
Sebastian, the passage of the Bidassos, the sortie from
Bayonne, and other lesser actions. At the, last affair
(Bayonne) he was shot in the knee and taken prisoner,
with Sir John Hope and the present Lieutenant-Colonel
W. G. Moore. The wound rendered amputation of the
left leg necessary.
GOVERNOR OF CHELSEA HOSPITAL.--We are sorry
to learn that this distinguished officer, General the

WANT OF DOCK ACCOMMODATION —The want of
proper dock accommodation at Devonport is always felt
whenever a large ship has to be docked. In
the case of taking its the Nile, on the 28th
ult., no less than two hundred men were employed,
but notwithstanding all this expense was in-
curred it was discovered that there was not sufficient
water to float the ship ie. Had the original plan of the
new basin been carried out as it ought to have been, the
largest ship in the navy could have been docked at neap
tide. As it is, the whole site looks as much in ruin as
after the Dockyard fire. At Portsmouth ships can be
decked at noon day ; but at Devonport, the springs
being at 5 30 A.M., or P.M., as a matter of course, much
extra expense is incurred. Is it right, we ask, that the
principal westernmost port should be allowed to remain
in this inefficient condition?
