MESSRS. MACLURE, MACDONALD, and
MACGREGOR, General Lithographers, beg to call attention
to a peculiar feature in their system of conducting business, namely,
their having a large and permanent staff of Assistants, in all the
varied departments of the Art on the premises ; which arrangement,
they submit, gives a force and effect to immediate production, un-
attainable by other means, and which is obviously of great advantage
to those who may require their services, independent altogether of
the excellency of their work.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW NAVAL UNIFORM. _

A few days since We gave our readers a description of the
new uniform which her Majesty has been graciously pleased
to command should be worn, by officers of the Royal Navy.
We are now enabled, by the kindness of Messrs. Gillott, the
tailors to the Admiralty, to give our naval friends a more
correct outline, and as the object of the Right Honourable
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty appears to have
been to mark more distinctly the relative rank of naval officers
with those of the army, we think it has been admirably
accomplished. We have been favoured with a private view
of the epaulettes, which are very handsome.
We find that the Admiral of tke Fleet will be distinguished
by an embroidered strap to his epaulette, four stars, crossed
batons, and a crown:
An Admiral—Three stars, sword and baton, and a crown.
A Vice-Admiral—Two stars, sword and baton, and a
crown.
A Rear-Admiral—One star, sword and baton, and a
crown.
Commodores and Captains of three years' standing—A
crown, star, and anchor.
Captains under three years—A crown and anchor.
Commanders—A star and anchor.
Lieutenants—An anchor only.
