ADMIRALTY, SOMERSET PLACE, Ja N. 2, 1834.
HALF-PAY TO NAVAL OFFICERS AND OFFI-

CERS OF THE ROYAL MARINES.

NOTICE IS H LREBY GIVEN, that
on the receipt in the Wages Department, at the Ad-
miralty-office, Somerset-place, of the affidavit required
from each Officer by his Majesty's Orders in Council, a
Bill for the amount of the half-pay due will be made out
in this Department, which will be p iyable by the Trea-
surer of his Majesty's Navy, on the following days, viz.—
On the 10th and 11th January. To Masters, Sur-
geons, and Pursers, and their Attorneys.
On the 13th, 14th, and 15th January. To Lieutenants
at ss. a day and under, and their Attorneys.
On the 16th and 17th January. To Lieutenants at 7s.
and 6s. a day, and Chaplains and their Attorneys.
On the 20th, 21st, and 22d January. To Admirals,
Captains, Commanders, and Retired Commanders, and
their Attorneys.

Great inconvenience having been experienced by the
claims of Officers who have not chose to receive their
half-pay on the days fixed for their ranks, being preferred
on the days appointed for the payment of balf-pay to
Officers of different ranks, Notice is hereby given, that no
such claims can in future be attended to on the days not
appointed for Officers of those ranks; but for the accom-
modation of such Officers, and also for the convenience of
those who may not have transmitted their affidavit suffi-
ciently early to admit of payment on the above mentioned
days, a recall will take place on the 24'h and 25th of
Janudry.

After which the half-pay will be payable on the first
and third Wednesday in every month, excepting during
the general payment of half-pay.
Officers residing in or near London, and wishing to
receive their half-pay in person, are requested to deliver
their affidavits into the NA ages-offices, Somerset-place, and
transmit them to the Secretary of the Admiralty imme•
diately on the expiration of each quarter; and those em-
pity, ing agents are also requested to furnish their agents
with their affidavits as promptly, for unless such docu-
ments are early delivered into this office, delay in the
payment must unavoidably ensue.
It sometimes happens that officers apply personally for
their half-pay, without having previously sent in their af-
fidavits, as required by the usual advertisements. Any
delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by
this oversight, it is in the power of the officers themselves
to prevent by an adherence to the existing regulations.
Under the authority of the Statutes relating to the pay
of the Navy, besides the abovementioned modes, officers
may receive their half•pay in any of the following ways,
vix,___

Ist. By drawing a bill for the amount, on a form to be
transtnitted from this office.
2d. By a remittance bill, payable to them at or in the
neighbourhood of their residence.
3d• By extract or permanent remittance bill, upon
which those officers who reside in the neighbourhood of a
dock-yard, where there is an establishment of pay clerks,
may be paid.
If they wish to receive it by biil of exchange, they are
to give notice thereof, by letter, to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, marked in the corner, Ha.f.pay, Accoun-
tant General," and thereupon the proper form will be sent
to them.
If they wish to have it remitted to them, they must
give a like notice to the Secretary of the Admiralty,
marked in the same manner, and a but will thereupon be
made out and transmitted to them.
In all cases, the officer signifying his desire of payment,
is to state at the foot of his letter, his Christian and Sur-
names, his Rank, and a full description of his residence.

the Act 11 Gro. IV., cap. 20, are not liable to the Stamp
Duty.
