THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
STORES AND ARMS FOR THE CAM—Great activity
has been displayed by the authorities in the Tower of
London during the week in the shipment of stores for
the Cape of Good Hope. On Wednesday a party of
the Guards, at short notice, assisted in the shipment of
20,000 stand of arms for conveyance to that colony;
and every description of camp equipage, clothing, &c.,
requisite for a campaign has been forwarded from the
garrison.
REAR-AD3IIRAL TOM' NIcoLAS, C.B.—lt is with ex-
treme sorrow that we express a fear that before our
paper is published one of the best, bravest, and ablest
officers of the naval service will be no more. Admiral
Nicolas, ever since the cabal of certain parties against
him at the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, and the
summary appointment of Captain Rich to dispossess him
o! the office of captain-superintendent, has been suffer-
ing severely in mind and body. At the early age of
sixty-three, one who would have done honour to the
highest post in the service, in peace or war, the free,
open-hearted, dashing Toup Nicolas dies of a broken
heart, leaving a young family dependent upon his
country's gratitude.
Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.8., the new Com-
mander-in-Chief at Devonport, has nominated his son-
in-law, Captain Arthur Lowe, to be Flag Captain, and
Mr. Alexander Kent, Paymaster and Purser, will be his
secretary, if the state of his health will permit him to
undertake the duties of the office. No officer has yet
been named as flag-lieutenant to the gallant admiral.
CAVALRY CHANGE OF QUARTERS.—We are enabled
to state that no orders have been issued as to the precise
date for the change of quarters of the cavalry regiments,
except the 13th Light Dragoons, which will leave Edin-
burgh for Newcastle-upon-Tyne on the 4th of April.

ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.—Dr. Spence has been
removed from the Staff at Chatham to the appointment
of Assistant to the Superintendent of the Army Medical
Department, and is to be stationed in London on a sa-
lary of 5001. per annum. We understand that the
appointment of Dr. Smith, as the successor to Sir James
M'Grigor, as the head of the department, has given
great offence to most of the medical officers of the army,
both in a public and private view.
WINDWARD AND LEEWARD ISLANDS COMMAND,—
Major Blackall, M.P., is, we hear, to succeed Lieutenant,
Colonel Macdonald, as Lieutenant-Governor of Domi-
nica, the usual period of service of the latter officer
b.?ing about to expire.
Sir John Liddell has been lately seriously indisposed
at his residence in Greenwich Hospital, and considerable
anxiety was felt on his account by his friends. We are,
however, in a position to know that ho is much better.
The service could ill spare the talent of this eminent sur-
geon at this moment.

IMPROVEMENTS AT NEWMARKET.

The following alterations have been 'made on the
heath:—

THE BEACON COURSE.—Tne old weighing-house,
which stood in the course, has been taken down, and the
rails taken away as far as the Duke's Stand. The course
is thus set back (towards the turnpike road) at the
end of tha Beacon Course about seventeen yards,
and is now delineated by temporary posts and chains as
far as the Duke's Stand, where it joins the old rails.
