THE ARMY.

Orders have just been issued to the chaplains and as-
sistant-chaplains in the East India Company's service to
the effect that all correspondence between them and the
Government must take place through the channel of
their bishop or archdeacon, and that applications other-
wise made will not be attended to, except in special
cases. Orders have also been issued to the effect that
all applications for leave of absence on account of ill-
health must be accompanied by a medical certificate,
signed by the medical officer who has been attending
the applicant, and countersigned by the superintending
surgeon.

Several complaints have lately been made to the
Indian authorities of the meagre allowances and accom-
modation made to the wives of soldiers while serving in
India.

Major Parkinson, of the native veteran battalion, has
submitted to the Court of Directors a memorial, repre-
senting in the strongest terms the severity of two or
three regulations in existence affecting the interests of
the officers of the invalid establishments, and praying
that they may be placed upon a more equal footing with
their brethren of the effective list. The substance of the
memorial is as follows:—I. That invalid officers be ad-
Mitted to commands of local corps. 2. That they be
considered eligible for certain staff situations. 3. That
veteran corps, in common with the corps of the line, be
permitted to share tent allowance. It is understood
that the prayer of the petition has been backed by the
Commander-in-Chief.

Her Majesty's 22d Foot, from Poonah, are to relieve
the 2d European Regiment at Belgaum.
By the last accounts from Bombay, Dr. Stovel was
expected to accompany Sir George Arthur, Bart., the
Governor, on his return home, owing to continued ill-
health. Sir George is now in his 63d year. He is a na-
tive of Plymouth, and, previous to his appointment as
Governor of Bombay, in 1842, filled the office of Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Upper Canada, his connexion with
which ceased only on the union of the provinces. He is
a colonel in the army, and possesses the local rank of
major-general.
A European court-martial assembled at Poonah on the
6th of July, for the trial of Cornet H. H. Scott, of the 3d
Light Cavalry (Company's regiment), for having spoken
in a disrespectful manner of his commanding officer. He
was found guilty, and ordered to be suspended from rank
and pay for three months. The Commander-in-Chief,
however, partly on the recommendation of the court, and
partly on other considerations, remitted the penalty
awarded, and Cornet Scott was directed to return to his
duty.

THE MOORS.
DEER-STALICTNG AND GROUSE SHOOTING.-At Inver-
cassley, Ross-shire, Mr. Robertson and the Messrs.
Christie have bagged 700 head. During a few days'
tour in the Island of Lewis, Major Houston and Mr.
Denys bagged 210 brace of grouse. In the Corries of
Dundreggan, Sir H. Meux, Bart., stalked and shot 2
stags. At Lochlaggan, the Marquis of Abercorn, cap-
tured 3 stags. From the forest of Fasnakyle, Lord
Bateman took 2 deer, killing them right and left at once.
In the forest of Glen Strathfarar, Lord Lovat, the
Master of Lovat, the Hon. A. Fraser, and Captain
Mostyn, have had excellent sport among the red deer-
-12 large stags, one of them with fourteen antlers, were
stalked—and on the moor, in one day, Captain Mostyn
bagged 54 brace of grouse ; the following day, 43 brace
and 2 hares.

SPORT.—On the 21st ult. Mr. Montague and two
friends, at Blaich of Ardgower, went out for deer, and
each had the good fortune to kill a stag—one head had
thirteen points, and the other two eleven.

Partridge shooting commenced on Tuesday, and from
the comparatively cleared state of the low grounds, the
sport was there followed without intermission. The
birds are represented to be rather plenty than otherwise,
and strong on the wing. Hares are fully as plentiful
as usual. Eight days hence the fields in the higher
districts are likely to be cleared of the grain crop.—

THE NESS.-At no time of the angling season has the
rod-fisher enjoyed better sport than during the last
fortnight—every pool has its numerous salmon, all keen
to seize the winged barb.

DAVIS. STRAITS WHALE FISHERY. - Accounts
have been received from Davis' Straits relative to the
progress of the whale fishery, by a vessel engaged in cod
fishing, which has arrived at Shetland, and which had
touched at Mainland. It appears by the report of the
natives that several of the vessels had from three to
seven fish, and one is mentioned—viz., the Traveller of
Peterhead, as having ten fish. We would fain hope that
this is the prelude to accounts of very successful fishing,
the more especially as the news refer to a very early date.
