(From the United Service Gazette.)
EMBLERATION of TROOPS.--lltr Majesty's SM!.
Hercules has been appointed to convey the 41st Regi-
ment from Cork at the end of January to Corfu ; the
76th from Corfu to Malta; the 69th from Mika to Bar-
badoes; the 72d Highlanders to Halifax, Nova Scoti;,
and the 38th from the latter place to Portsmouth.
SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—The effs,ctive Force of the
South-West District, on the Ist of January, consisted
of 2 troops of cavalry-76 men; 3 companies of Royal
Artillery-280 men; 1 company of Royal Sappers and
Miners-96 men; the 3d battalion Grenadier Guards-
-600 men; 5 regiments of the Line and the Provisional
battalion-4,237 men, making a total of Rank and File
of 5,689 men.

HORSE GUARDS.—We are glad to find that Colonel
Wetherall, the Deputy-Adjuntant-General, has quit:,
recovered from his recent severe indispostion, and
has resumed for some days past his duties at the Horse
Guards.

NEW MILITARY HOSPITAL, PORTSMOUTH.—We are
glad to find that the arrangements for a new hospital
tor the troops in Portsmouth Garrison are now com-
plete, and that the offices, &c., of the Royal Engineers,
situated on the mill-dam, have been selected as the sitt-
for the future accommodation and treatment of the sick
soldiers.

'Captain Clifton, of the 12th Lancers, it is reported. ,
will shortly be appointed to the Staff of Major-General
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.
THE CHOLERA AT CEPHALONIA.—We have much
pleasure in being able to announce that the cholera hay
now entirely disappeared from Cephalonia, that the
troops are now healthy, and the island is now released
from quarantine.
Strange rumours of revolting scenes at the burial of
the military in a garrison town not a hundred miles from
Parsonstown, have reached our ears. As the consequences
are likely to be serious to those upon whom the culpa-
bility rests, and since the commanding officer has taken
up the matter, and no doubt, as in duty bound, has re-
ported it to the general, we refrain fromNntering into
details—merely premising that, should those reports find
confirmation, is is not very likely the affair will be per-
mitted to rest here.
Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., has succeeded to
some considerable property on the death of his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Ogle, of Eaton-place. This lady was a sister
of Mr. Raphael, formerly M.P. for St. Albans, who
died a few weeks since, and left her some Joo,ooo/.
Although Sir Charles is known to be possessed of a
princely fortune, no one,
we are quite sure, will begrudge
him any accession of wealth, for he is one of the most
benevolent of men, and his charities are unbounded.
Many are known, but more are only felt, for Sir Charles
is truly
to find it fame."

IN DOCKYARDS.—It is unfair to make a IrEmon b,
tweLn the expenses of a man-of-war built iP
and a man-ot-war built in France, without son me
expla-
nation with regard to convict labour. In the Frencharaenal.s there are employed at least 8,000 forcats • in the
English dockyards, the total number does not 'amount
to 800 !

LETTERS FOR TILE NEW ZEALAND DIVISION.—we
have it from authority that the Admiralty have ordered
that in future all letters on service for her Majesty's
ships, on the New South Wales or the New Zealand di-
vision, are to be addressed to Sydney, at which place

measures will be taken for forwarding them to their des-
tination.

SMUGGLING A PROMOTION.—In the Navy List, by
authority, published on the Ist inst., we find, page 57,
at the bottom of the list of Lieutenants, under the sn-
niority, 1850—" llon. Henry Weyland Chetwynd. Dec.
11." Mistrustful of our own memory as to this officer's
standing as a " mate " or " passed midshipman," vie re-
ferred to the Navy List, by authority, for October, and
not finding any such name among the list of some 150
officers, we turned over to the alphabetical list—but
without success. We then endeavoured to recollect
some dashing affair that had taken place during the past
three months of which any young oMcer of the name of
Chetwynd was the hero, and turned to our files to
assist us: but here, again, we were at fault. In
ignorance then of any justifiable excuse on ser-
vice grounds for promoting an officer whose name
now appears in the Navy List for the first time,
over the heads of 150 seniors, we can only trace Mr.
Chetwynd's good fortune to the fact that he is the third
son of Viscount Chetwynd, of Berchaven, co. Cork. If
these be all his recommendations for such a distinction
at the early age of 21, and at the expense of so many
deserving officers senior to him, we do not at all wonder
that the Admiralty, being ashamed of the transaction,
have smuggled his name into the Quarterly List without
previous announcement.
