THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)

DIRECTOR- GENERAL FIELD TRAIN DEPARTMENT.—
Colonel Gord,o, Inspector of the Royal C.rriage De-
partment at Woolwich, will succeed Major-General
Lacey as Director-General of the Field Train Depart-
ment, and Lieutenant-Colonel Colquhoun, the present
Assistant-Inspector of Carriages, will be promoted to the
office of Inspector. . . _

CHELSEA HOSPITAL—The Spirit of army improve-
ment, vvhicti has worked so beneficial a change in the
condition of the active portion of the service, has now
extended it'elf to the admirable establishment founded
by Charles the Second for the benefit of old soldiers.
A new warrant has, we hear, been issued for re-mo-
delling the position of the in-pensioners, and augment-
ing their comforts in the decline of life. The whole body
has been formed into six companies, under the com-
mand of as many commissioned officers. Each company
has a company or colour sergeant at ls. per diem; 24 ser-
geants, at Bd.; 24 corporals, at 4d.; 6 drummers,
at 3d; first-class privates, at 2d.; second-class privates,
at lkd.; and third-class privates at ld. each, exclusive of
rations, clothing, &c. No man is to be promoted to non-
commissioned rank unless he was a corporal or sergeant
when in the ranks of the army; an important change,
which will prevent the exercise of undue favouritism.
Several other changes have been introduced, which,
without putting the public to any additional charge, will
add much to the credit of the noble asylumn, and the
happiness of those who have selecied it as the locality of
their declining days.
ARMY RETlREMENT.—Lieutenant-Colonel Hay, 6th
Dragoon Guards, is about to retire from the Service,
after a period of upwards of 42 years in the army.
THE CAPTAIN'S GOOD SERVICE PENSION. The
vacant Captain's Good Service Pension, which fell to the
patronage of the First Lord of the Admiralty on the
promotion of Sir Joha Ross, has been bestowed on
Captain Mitchell (1830), an officer who, in the course of
his long service in the war, received eight wounds, and
who has also served in two commands since the peace.
A NELSONIAN TOUCH.—When her Majesty's ship
Investigator reached the Sandwich Islands, on her way
to Behring's Straits, she there fell in with her Majesty's
surveying vessel Herald, Captain Kellett, C.B. The
Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C. 8., had not at
that time made her appearance, and as the
season was drawing on, Commander M'Clure expressed
a most anxious desire to proceed. Captain Kellett
seemed, however, desirous that he should await the
arrival of his consort, but at length consented that he
should continue his voyage. Commander M'Clure lost
no time, weighed anchor immediately, and made sail.
Captain Kellett, however, on second thoughts, decided
upon recalling him ; but it was too late, the Gallant
Commander of the Investigator could brook no further
delay and telegraphed is reply, " Important *Duty,"
"Own responsibility," and dashed on with an energetic
determination to accomplish the object for which he had
been fitted out. The Enterprise did not arrive for some
days afterwards, and in consequence was compelled to
pass the whole of the winter and last spring uselessly at
Hong-Kong, while the Investigator reached the ice, made
her entry good, and was frozen in.
SICKNESS IN THE EAST INDIA SQUADRON.—By let-
ters received by the overland mail we regret to hear that
Captain Austen, of her Majesty's ship Hastings, had
been left behind at Madras for medical treatment, and
the ship had proceeded on to Trincomalee under the
command of Acting Captain Rice. We also hear that
the Amazon had been very sickly; her Captain (Barker)
had been attacked with small-pox; he was, however
conval.scent, thoueh fearfully disfigured.
KILKENNY DISTRICT. Major-General M•Donald,
cumaJandiug the troops in the Kilkeuuy District, having
proceeded on leave of absence on the 12th July, Lieu-
tenant- Coloe el. C. C. Johnson, Acting- Assis tau ear-
termaster-General, has taken the command.
THE NEW ADMIRAL of THE FLEET —lt is with ex-
treme regret we h. ar that the newly-appointed Admiral
of the Fieet, the Right Hon. George Cockburn, G.C-.8.
is seriously ill.
The Atheriialty have sent out orders to her Majesty's
steam-sloop Hermes, 6, Commander Fishbourne, at the
Cv-, to be refitted in Simon's Bay, and then to pro-
ceed to the East India Station, and follow the orders of
Rear-Admiral Austen, C.B.
SALE or HER MAJESTY'S STEAMERS ON THE LAKES
OF CANADA.—Offers having been made to the authori-
ties to purchase her Majesty's two steamers Cherokee,
752 tons, and 200-horse power, and Minos, 400 toes, and
90-horse power, now out of commission on the Lakes of
Canada, the Admiralty have ordered them to be sold,
the Cherokee tor 4,000/., and the Minos for 1,2001.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal.)
MINES.-The market continues dull, but without ma-
terial change from our last week's report. Dividend
shares are still sought for, as also the superior class of
non-dividend mines; and it is almost unnecessary 'to add
that, with very few exceptions, all others are neglected.
Looking at the circumstances in which the business is
placed, we incline to the opinion that it will now require
some months to restore the market to a healthy tone;
but, in the meantime, purchases may be effected of the
class cf mines which may be designated progressive, on
terms rendered highly favourable to the capitalists by
the price being assimilated more closely than of late to
their intrinsic value.
