The vacancies which these promotions will create on the
full pay to be in all cases filled from the half-pay list ; and
one-third of the casualties which have occurred in the respec-
tive ranks since the Ist of April, 1834, to be considered as
vacancies to which promotion shall be made.
It is our further will and pleasure that the half-pay of those
officers who accepted unattached companies under the General
Order of the 27th of November, 1826, be increased, from the
Ist of April last, from ss. to 7s. a day each; and that the cap-
tains of infantry, having superior brevet rank, now serving
upon full pay, shall, on returning to half-pay of their regi-
mental commission, after the date of this warrant, be allowed
one-half of the extra pay they receive for brevet rank, namely,
Is. a clay, in addition to their ordinary rate of half-pay as cap-
tain ; but any captain having superior brevet rank, who may
hereafter come upon full pay, shall serve two years at least,
from the date of his restoration, before he shall be entitled to
this indulgence.
We are pleased also to declare that the following regulations
for restricting the future grant of half-pay shall be considered
as supplementary articles to our warrant of the 22d of July,
1830, but as applying only to all officers who may enter our
service after the date of the present warrant.
Ist. No officer shall be appointed to half-pay unless he shall
have actually done duty in some regiment or corps, or in some
other military capacity in the public service, for a period of at
least six years, excepting he shall have been compelled by
wounds received in action, or by ill health contracted on duty
in our colonies after three years' service to retire upon half-pay.
2dly. An officer having served more than three, and less
than six years, will, however, if reduced, be placed on half-pay
until recalled to active service. An officer having served less
than three years will, if reduced, receive only a temporary al-
lowance, proportioned according to the scale laid down in ar-
ticles 12, 13, and 14 of on/. warrant of 22d of July, 1830.
3dly. If any officer of more than six but of less than seven
years' full-pay service, shall exchange to half-pay for his pri-
vate convenience, he shall be allowed only the old rate of half-
pay, as laid down in the 25th article of our warrant of 22d of
July, 1830.

Given at our Court at Windsor, this 27th day of October,
834, in the fifth year of our reign.
By his Majesty's command,
EDWARD ELLICE.

NEW SOUNDINGS OF CAVALRY.—On Thursday last the
Lieutenant-General commanding had a cavalry brigade-day
in the Phcenix Park, with a view to prove experimentally the
efficacy of the proposed improvement in field bugling, alluded
to in our last. The 3d Dragoon Guards and 15th Hussars
were the regiments on the ground, and the result of the day's
proceedings quite exceeded the gallant General's expectations,
both as to the quickness of the men in understanding the dif-
ferent soundings, and the short time required to bring cavalry
into immediate action. Sir Hussey was attended by the
Trumpet Major of the 14th Light Dragoons, who sounded the
various signals for movements. The trumpeters of the 3d
Dragoon Guards and 15th Hussars have been instructed by
him. The Marchioness Wellesley and Miss Caton were pre-
sent, and appeared to take much interest in the movements
practised.—Dublin United Service Journal.
