WINDSOR PARK.

Colonel SALWEY wished to ask the First Commis-
sioner of Woods, " Whether the entrance to the public
avenue, commonly known as the Long Walk, at Windsor,
ii to continue in the ruinous and neglected state in which
it has bean allowed to remain since the removal of the
huge, tw..lve months ago? Also, whether there is
any intention of closing any portion of that avenue?"
Lord SEYMOUR, to the first question, replied that
immediate steps would be taken for the improvement of
the entrance of the Long Walk; and to the second ques-
tion, that there was no intention of closing any portion
of that avenue.

The House adjourned at a few minutes to Four
v'eloek.

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

AIiMY PENSIONS.—We are glad to find that the Go-
vernmeut have at last favourably entertained the case of
those men who served and were wounded in action in
the Peninsula, but discharged on the completion of their
limited period of service without a pension. It has al-
ways teen considered a great hardship to withhold from
those deserving old soldiers the grant of soma pecuniary
allowance. It is gratifying, therefore, that after the
lapse of so many years their services are recognised, and
that they will enjoy, without parochial assistance, the
means of decent subsistence.

FLAG-CAPTAIN TO REAR-ADMIRAL lIENDERSION, C.B.
—lt will be seen that Captain St. Leger Cannon has
teen appointed flag-captain to the newly appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief fur the South-East Coast of America
wation. We understand that Captain Francis Decimus
Hastings (1840), was the officer selected, and actually,
received his commission on Wednesday; but in conse-
quence of that gallant officer having . been suddenly
belz ,d with a fit of apoplexy, the commission wus re-
turned the 38111-4 thy.
04ptain Williqm Slaughter, K.H. (1837), a distin-
gtshed officer who served afloat for about 18 years
daring the vier, but who has not served since he was
posted, has accepted the retirement of 1846. He is in
receipt of the Greenwich out-pension. . .

The new commander-in-chief of the south-east coast
w.f America station, li.ar-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., is
said to have obtained his appointment through the in-
terest of the Duke of IVellington. Ho was Captain
of Saudown Castle, a sinecure appointment in the gift
of his Grace, as the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
'rho Admiralty have ordered the Apollo, 8, troop-
ship, Commander Rawstorne, on her arrival trom Hali-
fax with her troops, to proceed to Chatham and be paid
off at that port. She has done good service since
Jarviary, 1849.
The Diree:or of Works at Devonport Dockyard, Cap-
!.Y.in Williams, R.E., has been promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant. Colonel, and will now we presume quit the
extraordinary dockyard service and return to his legiti-
mate position in his own corps.
NEW STEAM SHIPS FOR TILE NAVY.—The Admi-
ralty have ordered two new screw-ships to be laid down
at Pembroke Dockyard—one, a screw-frigate, on the
lines of the Tribune, 28, building at Sheerness; and the
other, a paddle-wheel steam-sloop, on the lines of the
Cruiser, building at Deptford Dockyard.
BRITISH CLIPPERS IN THE CHINA TRADE.—By our
list accounts from China we hear that the clipper
ships Reindeer, Oriental, and Stornaway have
arrived—the latter, built for Messrs. Jardine,
Matheson, and Co., expressly for the tea-carrying
trade, has already made, for this time of the year,
a splendid passage from Bombay, beating some two
dozen vessels that left before her; and bets upon her
performance homeward will, it is expected, run very
high. She is commanded by au experienced hand in
tneve seas, Captain John Robertson, formerly of the
aohn O'Gaunt.

Lieutenant Ro,ynes, of the 23d Fusiliers, has been
appointed Acting Paymaster to the reserved battalion,
in lieu of Hopton, promoted.
Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Sir Edward Blake-
ney, G.C.B. and G.C.H., commanding the forces in
Ireland, has left Dublin for England on leave of absence.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The inquiry for shares this week has predominated
over the amount of business done, and, on the whole, oar
market wears as healthy an appearance as a diminished
business allowe. Several of the progressive mines have
announced samplings of increased quantities of ore, both
lead and copper ; and the shares in such have, in con-
sequence, attracted more attention. Still, the market
generally is much in favour of the buyer, and we think
iuuit continue so for some months to come-it beingevident
th4t other causes must concur with the present abund-
ance of capital to produce A perf, ctly saisttactory state of
affairs fur both buyers and sellers of mining shares. We
have spin to remark that there is a large class of stock
upon which heavy sums have been expended, quite un-
saleable for the moment.
