THE ARMY AND NAVY;
:(From the United Service Gazette.)
THE NEW FL/G• SHIP FOE THE MEDITERRANEAN..—.
The Britannia, 120, flag-ship of Admiral Dundas,
having been ordered to complete her crew to 970
officers and men, the officers have begun in right
earnest to raise her blue jackets. Lieutenant Pym
bag proceeded to Devonport' Lieutenant Tower to
Bristol, Lieutenant M`Donald to London, and Mr.
E. Smithett (mate) to Dever. She has already on
her books a goodly number of petty officers, seamen,
and boys. Sne has also her full detachment of
Marines. The ship will be completed by the dock-
yard by the 14th January.
The new Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral
Henderson, C. 8., arrived at Monte Video on the Ist
of November, and relieved Rear-Admiral Reynolds,
and assumed the command on the 4th, the latter gal•
last officer proceeded to Rio, which place he was to
leave November 18th for England. He may be ex•
peced about the first week in January. Admiral
Reynolds will most likely make Devonport first.
Should he do so he will haul down his flag and go
ashore there, and the Southampton will proceed to
Chatnam, to be paid off.
THE BRETET.-4t is expected that one at least of
the a,pointments of Inspecting Field Officers of Dis-
tricts, vacated by the Brevet promotion, will not be
filled up, in conformity with the recommendation of
the S lect Committee. The report originally current
that the old officers who vacated appointments would
retain them until the Ist April, seems to be well
founded, for we do not hear that any appointments
are yet finally determined upon. The necessity of
corresponding with officers at distant stations deemed
e:igib'e for the vacancies will account for the delay.
Tus GUARDS' BARRACKI.-It has been decided to
build officers' quarters to the Guards' barracks in the
Birdcage-wa:k, St. Jarnes's•park, and the Board of
Ordnance have called for tenders fur the erection of
the works.

RECRUITING BY PENSIONERS.—It has now been
decided upon that the experiment for the enlistment
of men for the army by Chelsea Pensioners shall be
tried at first in Scotland, and it will accordingly
commence on the Ist of January next under the su-
perintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch.
THE " AMERICA " YACHT AT A DISCOUNT.—The
famous clipper yacht America, purchased by Lord
Biaquiere for 4,000 guineas, is reported to have so
much fallen off in his Lordship's estimation that the
pil.nt and noble oEcer would nut refuse an offer of
3,000 guineas for her. She is now en route to the
I\l,diterranean with her noble owner.

FORHIGN SURVEYS.—To carry on and to continue
the surveys on foreign stations, the Admiralty have
ordered the old brig Saracen, at Devonport, and the
Arrow, ketch, at Portsmouth, to be fitted out imme-
diately on the same plan as the Scorpion, now sur-
veying in the I'Vesc Indies, was fitted.
There is a report afloat among fashionable circles
thar Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8.,
is about to be married to the daughter of Lord Ken-
mare.

We stated last week that her Majesty's steam sloop
Fury, Commander Tatham, fitting at Woolwich, was
to proceed to the Mediterranean. She goes on that
station to relieve the Racer, 12, Commander Beddoes,
which vessel i 5 ordered home to be paid off.
TUE COMM&ND OF THE LUCIFER STEANI•VESSEE.—
Toe death of Lieut. Curtis, in command of the
Lucifer, having occurred during Re:ar-Admiral Rey-
uoldi's term of command, that officer filled up the
vacancy by appointing Lieutenant G. F. Day, from
his flag•ship Southampton, to the command.

a favourable opinion ; his attitudes are most graceful,

to say, Hernandez met with a series of acci-
