THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(Froin the United Service Gazette)
TEE WAR MEDAL —His Grace the Commander-in-
Chief has extended the period for the reception and in-
vestigation of claims to the war medal to the end of
June; such claims are to be forwarded immediately to
the Board of General Officers, Whitehall, as no further
extension of time will possibly take place.
TROOPS FOR INDlA.—Although the Government are
well aware that Sir Harry Smith is placed at the Cape
of Good Hope in great difficulty, and much inconvenienced
in his movements by the want of a sufficient body of
troops, it can scarcely be believed, that the detachments
for regiments in India, consisting of 250 men, which are
ordered to embark on the 14th proximo, have been di-
rected to proceed straight to Calcutta, instead of stop-
ping at the Cape to ascertain if their services would be
required: if this were done, it might possibly save the
necessity of sending another Infantry Corps to that
colony, and their presence be of essential use to the
General in repulsing the Kafirs.
ROYAL ENGINEERS AT PORTSMOUTII.—CoIoneI Sir
Frederick Smith, K.H., joined at Portsmouth on the
24th inst., in succession to Colonel Lewis, to assume the
responsible duties of chief engineer in the south-
western district.
SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—Orders have been promul-
gated to the regiment of this district, granting leave of
absence to a third of the officers for three weeks, to visit
the Great Exhibition.
It is rumoured that Lieutenant-Colonel Thorpe, 44th
Regiment, will be transferred to the 25th Regiment,
vice Lieutenant-Colonel Young, appointed Fort Major
at Inverness.
RETIREMENT FROM THE 12TH LANCERS.—We un-
derstand that Lieutenant-Colonel Pule, who had sent in
his papers for permission to retire from the service, has
withdrawn them, and will embark with the Regiment;
but, we expect, will eventually return home for the pur-
pose of quitting the army.
STAFF.—Lieutenant-Colonel Young, of the 25th Re-
giment, has been appointed Fort Major at Inverness,
vice Colonel Findlay. K.H., deceased.
LIMERICK GARRISON.—The Board of Ordnance are
in treaty with the Cemissioners of Woods and Forests
for the transfer of King'sisland at Limerick, for the
purpose of building a magazine and barracks, and for a
drill ground for the use of the garrison, instead of the
exercise field at Newcastle.
NATAL °menus' LC/Gal.—The Admiralty have issued
orders to the effect that in future they shall not require
officers to transmit their logs periodically for the in-
spection of their Lordships. Each officer, however, is
to keep a perfect log, and -it to subniit it at the stated
times to the inspection of his captain or commander.
We regret to hear that Major Halkett, of the 4th
Light Dragoons, is sufDring from .severe indisporition.

nidad is about to leave that colony for England in the
course of the ensuing month. Lieutenant-Colonel Ward.
Royal Engineers, at present stationed at Bardadoes, will
proceed to Trinidad and administer the government dur-
ing the temporary absence of his Lordship.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal.)
The predominant feature of the market is flatness-
doubtless caused mainly by the depressed state of rail-
way stock and tightness in the money market, which
never fails to exercise its influence on all speculative
business. Even for the best dividend mines sellers are
more plentiful than buyers, but yet the business trans-
acted has been again on a reduced scale. When we con-
sider, however, the large amounts which have been ex-
pended during the last two months, on totally worthless
concerns, it is not surprising that a check should be
given to our market by that cause alone, an evil at the
same time conservative in its effects, and which time will
modify.

ALGE RI A.

The Moniteur has the following important account
of the expedition against the Kaby lea :--
" The last news from Algeria informs us that the
expedition against Little Kabylia has been accom-
plished just as we had a right to expect from the
energy of our army and the skill of tne officers itt
command of it. Frord the Ilth to the 21st, the thy to
which our dates come down, there had been several en-
gagements. On the 11th, General Saint Arnaud, it,
his adveace, found three beiehts by which he had to
pass strongly fortified by the Kebytes, who had thrown
up entrenchments of stone, and which were defended by
4 000 men. It was necessary in order to dislodge the
eosin) from their position to mike a considerable circuit
over very bad ground, and under a heavy fire. General
Saint Arnaud formed his force into three columns, eece
coasisting of three battalions, with two mortars. The co
luron on the left, commanded by Gee. Lev. was composer;
of two battalions of the 20th, come native rdl-men and 66
cavalry, under the orders of Commandant Fournier. The
right column, under the command of General Bosquet,
was composed of a battalion of laraves, another of the
Bth of the line, and a third of Light lefentry of
Africa, supported by 70 cavalry under Colonel Bous
elfin. The centre column was under the command ot
Lieutenant-Colonel Espinasse, and formed of three bat-
talions. The division started at daybreak. At sevei
o'clock the village of Kasen was carried at the point of
the bayonet by the native infantry. At nine o'clock
the three columns had driven the enemy from all
his positions. While General Luzy, seconded by Col-
onel Marulsz, attacked the position in front with the
b.iyonet, Commandant Bataille and the native rifle
men attacked the left, and threw the enemy into
disorder. Commandant Feurnier arrived with his
cavalry on the summit of the hill at the same time
es the infantry, and the combat became very severe.
Commandant Valioon was killed, and Captain Fan
con, of the 20th of the lire, and Captain Jollivet,
of the Rifles, were both wounded. General Bosquet
on the right, had his shoulder grazed by a ball ; but he
did not stop, and reached the heights with his Z )uaves.
The column, under the command of Colonel Espinasse,
reached the top of the heights at the same time as
the other columns. In this action of the 11th, the ex-
peditionary column had 11 killed and 81 wounded. The
whole of the 12th was a series of combats, in which the
enemy alone met any serious loss. On the 13th and 14th
our troops had to perform a difficult and perilous march.
The road was through a wooded country, on the tide.
of mountains, where the enemy had positions which had
to bo successively carried. Two companies of the 10th
of the line suffered heavy losses on the 13th. Full
of ardour, but inexperienced in a kind of warfare
which they now were engaged in for the first time,
they allowed themselves to be surrounded by eaensie,
who advanced under cover of the wood, and lost a
number of their men. They were at length relieveo
by a battalion of the 9th. On the 14th the enemy made
an attack, but were defeated with great loss by the
Z _waves, under Commandant Laure, and the Thad-
leurs under Commandant Bataill,, and compelled to re.
ere, leaving a number of dead in the ravines. On the
15th Colonel illartilez penetrated into the mountain, and
severely punished the Kabyles, who had disturbed
our progress. On the 18th our column bivouacked
before Djijelli, without having any further en•
eagements. The rear guard, which was formed of
two companies of the foreign legion, under the orders of
Commandant Mayer, acted with great energy and skill.
In a word, it may be said that from Fedi- Beinetn to
Djijelli the march of our army was a series of vigorous
and successful acions. The troops arrived full of confi-
dence at the place where they expected a few days'
repose. On the 19th General Arnaud left Djijelli
and on the very day had an engagement a
which our troops gained a signal advantage wit(
but a trifling loss. At noon General Saint Armin,
established his position in the centre of the Beni-Amt
ran, having the Beni-Ahroet upon his right, and th,
Beiri-Ktitel on his left, he formed his division into three
columns, each composed oh two battalions in ligh
marching order, and commanded one by .himself, aeo
the two others by Generals Luzy and Bosquet.
His object was to drive the enemy, who were posted
in considerable forces on the heights %which cos
mended the camp. Our infantry were irresistible,
and when they had driven the Kabyles at the point of
the bayonet from their position, they were attacked b,
the cavalry, who completed their route. The enemy
who were in number ebout 2 000, left 120 dead on th.
field; our loss was only 2 killed and 31 wounded. 0.
the 20th a still more imp 'rtant action was fought
General Saint Arnaud left his camp at eleven o'clock
with eight battalions, four mortars, and all his cavalry.
Alter having on the previous day cleared the height-
which commanded his flanks, he proceeded ti
ettack the positions which the Kabyles neon pied in fron
of him at about a league distance. The enemy were
ranged along the crest of a wooded bill, having on their
Lift a deep ravine, and on their right a wide plain.
General Saint Arnaud sent his cavalry into the plain
while the infantry ascended the hill and attackea
the Kabyles on all sides, and on their des-
cending the hill they were attack ed by the
cavalry, who thus cut off their retreat. Mcd .e than 1,200
Kabyles threw themselves into the ravine on their left
under the fire of three of our battalions, an d left 330 of
their men dead on the field. Our victory was complete
In the evening of that day the camp. of General
Saint Arnaud was full of arms and buritious brought
in as trophies by our soldiers. Three great frac-
tions of the Beni-Atnran, the Achaib, the Ouled-
Bonira and the Oiled Bon-Achair have made
their submission. The Beni-Ahmet have demanded
the Aman. It may, therefore, be said that at the
date of the 20th ot' May moat important results have
been already obtained by our expedition - Djijelli has
been released from the kind of blockades which had
been established around it by the Kaby i les, and wilt
soon see its markets open to our commerce. We are
assured that the great confederations of . Cattle Kabylia
begin to be dissolved. The conduct of the Kabyle tribes
in the neighbourhood of Bought shows th e effect which
our successes have already had. We learn that these
tribes have already driven away the fats e Cherif 800
Basle, and that their most important chief; have already
demanded pardon from us. The necessity of the expe-
dition is shown by the resistance which it met with.
The fanatic people of that country required the lesson
which they have received. Every one who knows
Algeria will be aware of the danger whic'li would arise
from the moment when the tribes should fancy that they
could keep in check the authority of Frausce."
