THE BREVET.—We can now announce with con-
fidence that a brevet promotion will take place early
in November. Nothing is absolutely known of the
extent to which the promotion will go ; but facts leak
out at clubs and in other quarters, and by a compa-
rison of information from different sources, we think
we may confidently state that the Lieutenant-
Generals to be promoted to Generals will compre-
hend all down to Lord Charles Somerset
Manners ; the Major-Generals to be advanced
to Lieutenant-Generals will include Lord Fre-
derick Fitzclarence, stopping short at the Duke
of Cambridge. The Colonels who are to become
Major-Generals embrace all down to Colonel Chem-
herlayne ; the promotion of Lieutenant-Colonels and
Majors takes in those of 1841, and the Captains of
1840 become Majors. So small a brevet has not been
known for many a long day, always excepting the
memorable Irish brevet of 1849. In addition to the
list of staff appointments to be vacated at the forth-
coming brevet, as mentioned in our impression of last
week, we should have stated that the coaarnandantship
of the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, now held
by Colonel Browne, will also be at the disposal of the
Commander-in-Chief.
ORDNANCE.—J. E. K. Grogan, Esq., Barrick-
master of Cahir, Clogheen, and New Inn, has re-
ceived leave of absence to proceed to London. The
Quartermaster of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards
is performing the duties during his absence.
SrArF.—Major••General Macdonald, C. 8., com-
manding the Kilkenny District, has returned to Kil-
kenny from his tour of inspection. Major-General
Bainbrigge, C. 8., commanding the Belfast district,
has returned to Belfast from his tour of inspection.
ENROLLED Rarisroxims.—The London Enrolled
Pensioners are to assemble for four days' drill, making
ten days this year, commencing on Monday next.
SOLDIERS' BEDS.—liew straw and paillasses are
ordered to be issued by the barrackmaster in Ireland
for the use of the troops, and to try the experiment
of the straw lasting ninety days, instead of sixty days
as formerly.
DRAFTS FOR THE WEST INDlES.—Detachments
of the 34th, 36th, 67th, and 69th Regiments, are
under orders to embark for the West Indies to join
their respective heal quarters.
TROOPS FOR THE lONIAN ISLANDS.—Drafts have
been placed in order from the 30th, 41st, 47th, 49th,
and 92d Regiments, consisting of 92 men, to embark
for the service companies of their corps, stationed in

the lonian Islands.
TROOPS FOR GIBRALTAR.—Drafts of the 13th Light
Infantry, 26th (Cameronians), 44th, and 55th Regi-
ments are under orders to embark fur the service
companies at Gibraltar.
DRAFTS FOR MALTA.--Detachments Of the 3d
Buffs, 68th Light Infantry, and 76th Itegiments are
under orders to embark for the service companies at
Malta.
Rora.r. ENGINEER ESTA BLISFIMEET.—Maj OD. Gene-
ral Sir John Burgoyne, K.C.8., made a visit of in-
spection to the Royal Engineer Establishment at
Chatham on Thursday last, when several interesting
experiments connected with the scientific pursuits of
the corps, were tried in his presence, on the Field
Instruction practice ground, within the lines.
We believe there is no truth in the report that
Commander John Mc N. Boyd is coming home from
the Superb, 80, in the Mediterranean. The gallant
officer will continue in her until she returns to Eng-
land to be paid off, which will be very shortly.
ADMIRAL I) ['HMS'S VISIT TO THE MEDITEERA..
?max FLEET.—We are enabled to give a flat contra-
diction to the report that Admiral Deans Dundas's
visit to the Mediterranean fleet, at Barcelona, had
any political object. Tile Gallant Admiral had been
travelling on the continent for some time, and took
advantage, when near the rendezvous, to run down
from Cette, and pay a friendly visit to his old Com-
mander-in-Chief, Sir W. Parker, and to see that
fleet which he will no doubt very shortly have under
his own immediate orders. _ _ _

THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.—Admiral Sir Wil-
liam Parkers Bart., G.C.8., with all his fleet of line-
of-battle ships on the station, with the exception of
the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, remained
in the Bay of [Loses on the 9th inst. All sorts of re-
ports of the destination of the fleet are in circulation,
but we believe we are correct in stating that the Ad-
miral intended to take his fleet in a day or two on a
cruise off Barcelona, touching at Port Mahon. It is
said the Gallant Admiral will be at Malta by the 15th
November, where the fleet will remain until his sue-
ce3sor arrives. _ _
