THE GREENWICH OUT - PENSlON.—Captain Sir
William Pierson (1838) has received the captains'
out- pension of Greenwich Hospital, which fell in hand
on the death of Captain Burgess. This Gallant
Officer entered the navy in 1796, was at the battle of
Trafalgar, and served constantly during the war up
to 1815.

THE nousEuoLD Thoors.—We understand that
our distinguished foreign visitors have expressed great
satisfaction at the fine soldierly and effective appearance
of our Household Brigade of Cavalry and Infantry,
and have, without hesitation, stated that in their
opinion they are the finest body of troops in Europe.
THE DEPUTY SECRETARY-AT-WAR.—It is ru•
moured that the Right Honourable Laurence Sulivan,
Deputy Secretary-at-War, who has recently been
sworn in as a Member of the Privy Council, will
shortly retire from his official appointment, as the la-
bours of that department have always been repre-
sented as most arduous, and rendered him unable to
perform any of the ex officio duties pertaining to the
office.

ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT.—We hear that it is
in contemplation to disband the Royal Canadian
Rifle Corps. The sp,cial services of the regiment for
which it was orignally raised have been long consi-
dered a failure.

HIGHLAND REGINIENTS.—An order has been issued
for the five kilted regiments—viz., the 42d, 78th,
79th, 92d, and 93d Highlanders—to wear in future
as a forage cap the Glengarry bonnet, instead of the
one hitherto in use. This change does not affect
those Highland corps wearing trowsers—viz., the
71st, 72d, and 74th—who are to continue the old
forage cap.
EAST INDIA PENSIONERS.—The Court of Direc-
tors have refused to adopt a proposition for forming
an invalid depot in this country, on the same prin-
ciple as the one belonging to the line at Chatham,
because they consider it would involve an additional
expense, without any benefit to the funds of the
company or their army in general.
THE GOLD COAST CORPS.—The selection has been
made of the officers for the regiment to be stationed
on the Gold Coast, and their successors will shortly
be gszetted. The corps is, we believe, to be Light
Infantry. _ _

PENSIONERS IN CANADA.—Arrangements are being
actively made for forming the army pensioners resi-
dent in Canada into four districts, by which their
services may be rendered avlilable whenever required
in aid of the civil power or military purposes.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch, Military Superintend-
ent of Pensioners, proceeds to Germany on the 25th
inst., it is said, for the purpose of being present at
the military inspections about to take place in that
country, and in order to give him additional military
knowledge, whereby he may be enabled to impart a
new system of drill to the enrolled pensioners, and
render them more effective.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The early Part of the week wan characterised by a
heavy market for shares, but later it has given place to
considerable inquiry and business in the more reputable
portion of the speculative class of mines. Yesterday,
in particular, a considerable amount of transactions took
place on fair terms for the interests cf buyern, whilst
sellers appear to be acting voluntarily, and not under
the pressure of any necessity to sell, whether as regards
the quantity of shares parted with or the rates obtained.
With abundance of money for such purposes, we are
encouraged to look for the continuance of business on
an extended scale, both in these and dividend mines.
The latter stock is, however, scarce-actual transactions
not representing a tithe of the inquiry. The specula-
tive spirit is also slightly apparent for the youngest
class of concerns, but at an almost nominal figure.
In the Metal Market-Copper is in good demand, and
firm in price.-We are sorry to notice a fall at the lead
ticketing, at Holywell, on Thursday, of about 2i per
cent., without any apparent justification, the market here
being 'firm, and the demand steady.-Tin has been quiet
this week, and hut few transactions have taken place ;
holders are firm, and we hear of sales in Holland at 48f,
being.i I florin above the sale price. There is no altera-
"°` in English tin -Tin-P lates are somewhae easier.
