THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
Taiaors FOR IRELAND.—Some uneasiness is being
felt by the authorities at the present restless state of
our Irish neighbours, so much so, that additional re-
cruiting parties have been dispatched from many of
the regiments stationed in Ireland, to fill up the
vacancies with all dispatch ; and it is rumoured, that
in the event of the continuation of the agitation, a
regiment of cavalry and another of infantry will be
placed in orders to embark for the Emerald Isle.
GARRISON or DUBLIN.—In consequence of the ex-
citement, in Dublin at the Catholic meeting, held at
the B.otundo on Tuesday, the military authorities caused
the following troops to be held in readiness to turn
out at a moment's notice, should their services be re-
qu;.red in aid of the civil power, viz., a troop of the
s'.h Dragoon Guards, a wing of the 14th, 27th, 35th,
'39th, 62d, and 89th Regiments, and the several guards
and picquets of the garrison to be reinforced.
A TROUBLESOME MAJOR.—We understand that a
certain senior major of a regiment, not far removed
from "90," has received a hint from the Horse
Guards that his service will not be longer required
beyond the end of this month, and that if he does not
apply for permission to sell or retire, the Com-
mander-in-Chief will find means of otherwise provid-
ing for him.
CouR.T-MARTIAL AT WEEDON.--Colonel Simpson,
Conur.andant of Chatham Garrison, has proceeded to
Weet'..ion to preside at a court-martial on an officer of
the. 4th King's Own, it having been found inconves
nt to try more than one at a time.
General Sir Charles Napier is expected at Ports-
rnouth, on Monday next, to review the troops com-
posing the garrison, and to inspect the district military
school at Anglesey Barracks.
CHATHAM GARRISON.—Captain Wood, 13th Light
Infantry, Brigade Major at Chatham Garrison, the
first of his rank on the roster to embark for the head-
quarters at Gibraltar, has been allowed six months to
consider whether he will go on half-pay or join his
regiment.

TB.E SLAVE PRIZE TO HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP

having been captured by the Orestes, contained some
t plenty thousand pounds' worth of ivory, ebony,
jewels, gold dust, and other valuable property.

Majesty's steam-ships Retribution and Sidon, arrived
at Madeira on the 22d of July from Cork, and sailed

in-Chief Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., with the
Quee-a, Albion, Superb, Janus, Spiteful, and Scourge,
werfs in Sula Bay, Sardinia, on the 14th instant, but
the place being unhealthy and the water bad, it is ex-
Pe Asted that Sir William will go to some other part of
t'ne coast to get better water, perhaps to the Madelina
Islands, then on a cruise on our way to Barcelona,
then perhaps to Mahon, and to return to Malta in
the early part of November.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The -crippled condition of railway property at a period
when it was expected to have resumed ono of its most
flour :skiing aspects, is producing a gradual withdrawal of
cap Atal from that gigantic interest-one of the effects of
vefeich will be, no doubt, to increase investments in
relines. An effect is, indeed, already perceptible in our
market, not only in the increased amount of business,
but the growing and extended inquiry for mining shares,
even of the speculative classes, in which more in amount
is now doing than in dividend mines. A remarkable
degree of success is also attending the numerous explo-
rations in the eastern part of Cornwall and the Tavi-
stock district, for the shares in which great activity pre-
vails, and being in some cases at a considerable advance
on the original cost, a fresh stimulus is given to the
ima•tket, of a legitimate and satisfactory character.
In the Metal Market-Copper is in fair demand and
eteady in price. Lead is without material alteration.
