The French and the Bey of Tunis equally claim it, and
some very sharp letters on the subject have passed.

THE ARMY AND NAVY•
(From the United Service Gazette of this d ay.)
TROOPS IN LONDON.--It is expected that °the addi-
tional number of troops brought into London and its vi-
cinity on the occasion of the Great Exhibition will move
to their respective quarters in the course of the ensuing
month.
THE LATE CANTEEN AT THE HORSE GUARDS.—In
addition to the appropriation of the Canteen fc r offices,
an additional building is to be erected in the Tilt-yard,
in order to give further accommodation and r own for
conducting the business of the Secretary-at-1 Arar ;
great portion of the building now occupied as of fices for
the Adjutant-General will be vacated by that ofl icer and
turned over to the War-office, and he will have, we un-
derstand, possession of that which is to be new built.
DIRECTOR GENERAL FIELD TRAIN DEPART! PIENT.—
In consequence of the promotion of Major. Gene' •al Lacy
to the command of the 6th battalion Royal Artillery, the
situation of director general of the field train depart-
ment falls vacant, but we believe no appointment ; will be
made to it until the close of the year, when it will bo
seen whether a Brevet takes place or not. In all pro-
bability Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, the brother of
Lord Hardinge, will ultimately be the successor. Major-
General Lacy, an old and distinguished soldier, has re-
sided for many years at Woolwich, where he ; justly
greatly beloved and respected.
Good Service Pensions of 2001. per annum earn h, have
been granted to Lieutenant-Generals C. Gordon and A.
Lloyd, and Major-Ge neral T. B. Aylmer. One hundred
pounds per annum additional have been confisrred on
Major-Generals Sir Da Lacy Evans and Fleming, and
a pension of 1001. on Major-General A. Me Lachlan.
The services of Lieutenant-General Gordon date
from the days of Argaum, Asseergbur, and Ga wilghur.
We have failed to di,cover on what whits vemeets
the claim of Lieutenant-General Lloyd rests. Major-
General Aylmer is a particularly distinguished soldier.
The Helder, Egypt, the Peninsula and W,-; .Icheren
were successively the scenes of his service. Of Major-
Generals Evans and ,Fleming we have had occ asien to
speak so recently, and to refer to their merits 'ould be
simply to repeat ourselves. We only wish that. Sir De
Lacy Evans was more active in the soldier's cause in his
place in Parliament. Major-General M`Lachlan, says
the brief biographer of the army, " was hot tourably
mentioned in Colonel Gillespie's dispatch, for his con-
duct at the suppression of tee mutiny at Ve lore, in
1806, on which occasion he was the senior effieer pre-
sent, and severely wounded." _ I _

BEER FOR THE TROOPS IN INDIL.—It is mentioned
that the Government of India has applied for 1,000
hogsheads of ale nod 1,500 hogsheads of po:rter, for
the use of the European troops in India, in the place of
spirituous liquors. We are glad to hear this., but we
cannot help, at the same time, remarking upon the
'slow pregrese of wholesome changes in India. Thirty
years ago the late Mejor- General Sir Lionel Smith
recommended the importation of beer for the troops on
the irresistible ground of its superiority to arrack, brandy,
or rum—and the advice was disregarded. The ex-
pense was in the way, and even now we saepect the
cost will be found to ba very considerable. Have not
the attempts to brew beer in India proved sieccessful?
There was a person in Mussoorie, if we are not much
mistaken, who used to prepare a tolerably palateable and
wholesome beterage• and we have somewhere seen it
stated by Captain Ochterlony, of tho Madras filmy, that
hops can be grown on the Neilgherries, and bee r brewed
of a sufficiently good quality. After the proofs afforded
at the Great Exhibition of what India can do for her-
self, the Government would only act in perfect harmony
with its ordinary economy to direct that groving and
brewing experiments be tried on the spot.
THE BRAZILS.—In consequence of the threatened
hostilities, the Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral
Reynolds, C. 8., in his flag-ship Southampton, 50, Cap•
Lain Cory, proceeded from Rio to Buenos Ayres, and
remained there with the Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper,
C. 8., and Rifleman, 8, screw-schooner, Lieutenant.
Commander Dalton, May 28. There were at Rio, June
11th—Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell; Con-
flict, screw-sloop, Commander Drake ; and Sharp-
shooter, screw-schooner, Lieutenant-Commander Bailey.
