THE ARMY AND NAVY.

(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
THE GUARDS AND THE BREVET.—If any further
proof were wanting of the superiority of the good
fortune of the officers of the Guards over those of the
Line, we have it in the present Brevet. The Guards
have the lion's share of promotion in the rank of full
colonel. For 21 lieutenant-colonels promoted out of
137 regiments of cavalry, infantry, and colonial
corps, no less than 10 lieutenant-colonels of the
brigade of Guards (of seven battalions) have, thanks
to their former rapid promotion, now attained the
rank of full colonel, without counting four more
officers now on half pay, but late of the Guards.
VACANT MILITARY COMMAND.—The appointment
of Commandant of the Royal Military Asylum,
Chelsea, is about to become vacant by the promotion
of Colonel Brown, who declined at the Brevet of
1846 resigning the appointment for promotion, but
which he is now induced to accept.
THE COMMND AT CHATHAM.—It was, we believe,
the intention of the Horse Guards to have offered the
command at Chatham to Colonel Sir John Campbell,
K.C.8., 98th Regiment; but on the representation of
Lord Dalhousie he is to be retained in India, and kept
in command of a district, notwithstanding the arrival
in Bengal of Major-General Godwin.
ARTILLERY STAFF.—Lieutenant-Colonel
Chalmer,itAi Assistant Director General, at 2301. per
annum, is to be Inspector of Artillery at 4001.; Lieu-
tenpat-Colonel Hardinge, brother to Lord Hardinge,
is be Superintendent of the Royal Military Repo-
oit ors, at 2001. per annum, with a residence, vice
Gagapbell, promoted. Colonel Cruttenden, it is ru-
moured, has been offered the command in Ireland, vice
Turner.
RECRUITING DISTRICTs.—CoIoneI J. Taylor, late
on the Staff at the Isle of Wight,andColonel Graves,
formerly on the Staff of Dublin, are named as likely
to succeed to ba Inspecting Field Officers ; the first
named, it is supposed, will succeed to the London
District.
TROOPS rOa THE CAPE.--The Cabinet Council
lately held was to take into consideration the state of
. w
affairs at the Cape of Good Hope,hen it was re.
solved that two General Officers, with five regiments
and a competent Staff, should be sent out without
delay to that colony, but the final adjustment of it was
deferred.
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL ABBOT, 3D WEST INDIA
REGlMENT.—Lieutenant-Colonel Abbott has arrived
in England from Jamaica, via New York, and has sent
in his papers to sell. Major Finlay is for purchase,
but
we believe none of the Captains in the regiment.
HORSE GUARDS.—Captain Pack, 7th Fusiliers,
Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General, is on leave of
absence. Mr. Ferguson, Assistant +o the Military
y
Secretary, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, 'will, we under-
stand, be unable, from indisposition, to resume his
duties in the office of the Commander-in- Chief.
Colonel Sir John Wilson, C.B. and K.H , has the
i t
option to accept promotion, vacating his ng appointment
as Adjutant of Chelsea no,pital.
DUBLIN STAFF.—Lieutenant-Colonel C. K. Scott,
Assistant Quartermaster-General of the Dublin Dis-
trict, has returned to the Royal Barracks from leave
of absence. Captain Robertson, 71st Highland Light
Infantry, Ist battalion, Assistant Deputy Quarter..
master-General of the Dublin District, has proceeded
on leave of absence.
The following cavalry regiments, stationed in Ire-
land, are first on the roster for Great Britain, viz., 7th
Queen's Hussars, 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers),
Ist King's Dragoon Guards, sth Dragoon Guards,
4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards.
