THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
DRAFTS FOR NORTH AMERlCA.—Detachments have
been placed under orders to join the Head quarters of
their several regiments in North America:-
20th Regiment, 2 Officers, and 60 men.
23d „ 1 ~ 61 „
54th ~ 4 60 ~
66th „ 1 „ 40
71st „ 1 „ 41 ~
Rifle Brigade, 2d Batt. 2 „ 100 „
'Total, 11 officers and 362 mem.
Her Majesty's steam-frigate Retribution, 28, Captain
Warden, now on a cruise with Commodore Martin's
squadron, has been ordered to Devonport immediately,
to be ready to embark troops and stores, if necessary,
for the Cape of Good Hope. The Encounter screw-
-1 corvette, at Lisbon, will convey the orders to the
, squadron on the arrival of the mail at Lisbon.
COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.—Deputy Assistant-
Commissary Generals Osborn, Power, and Robininson,
and Clerks, Marsh and Bailey, aro ordered to embark
forthwith at Queenstown on board her Majesty's steam.
ship Vulcan for service at the Cape of Good Hope.
Captain Tulloch has been relieved from duty at Til-
bury Fort, where he has been for some time past em-
ployed superintending pensioner convict guards for the
colonies, and has been succeeded by Major O'Brien,
Unattached, formerly Brigade-Major at Chatham. Cap-
tain Tulloch is waiting the Commander-in-Chief's ap-
proval of his promotion to a majority previous to his
proceedinc, to Canada to enrol the pensioners resident
there; but it is understood that the Horse Guards
authorities are more averse than ever to the employment
of the pensioners, since the disastrous accounts which
have been received from the Cape of their butchery and
destruction.

HER MAJESTY'S SCREW TROOP-SHIP VULCAN.—We
stated last week that the Vulcan, Master-Commander
I''nn, had been ordered to proceed from Portsmouth to
Queenstown, and convey the 74th Regiment to the Cape.
She arrived there on the 10th and left yesterday. We be-
lieve that her services are to be placed at the disposal of the
naval commander-in•chief at the Cape, for any work that
the exigencies of the moment may demand, for convey-
ance of troops, stores, &c.; but in the event of her pre-
sence not being required, she is to return to England,
and touching at St. Helena and Ascension by the way,
is to bring home unserviceable naval and ordnance
stores.

ANOLESEA BARRACKS, PORTNEA. - Estimates have
been accepted by the Board of Ordnance for the follow-
ing works, to be performed in Anglesea Barracks during
the present year. A new bedding store to be built at
a cost of 238/4 a new tailors' shop to be erected for
3821.; for the laying en gas-3871.; a new coal yard to be
formed at 5251., and a boundary wall to be built at the
charge of 625/, making a total expenditure of 2,1841.
Her Mrjesty's acreiv'sloop Reynard, Coinmander Cra-
croft, is ordered home from the China station. It is
likely that she will call at the Cape en route, and if her
services, are necessary, she will be detained there.
H.M.S. CALEDONIA, 120.—There is no foundation for
the report circulated in some of our daily contempora-
ries, that the Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter, was to leave
Malta for England on the Bth inst. She is not yet ordered
home.
