partment at Woolwich, will succeed Major-General

CHELSEA HOSPITAL.—The spirit of army improve-
ment, which has worked so beneficial a change in the
condition of the active portion of the service, has now
extended itself to the admirable establishment founded
by Charles the Second for the benefit of old soldiers.
A new warrant has, we hear, been issued for re-mo-
delling the position of the in-pensioners, and augment-
irg their comforts in the decline of life. The whole body
has been formed into six companies, under the com-
mand of as many commissioned officers. Each company
has a company or colour sergeant at is. per diem; 24 ser-
geants, at Bd.; 24 corporals, at 4d.; 6 drummers,
at 3d; first-class privates, at 2d.; second-class privates,
at lid.; and third-class privates at Id. each, exclusive of
rations, clothing, &c. No man is to be promoted to non-
commissioned rank unless he was a corporal or sergeant
when in the ranks of the army; an important change,
which will prevent the exercise of undue favouritism
Several other changes have been introduced, which'
without putting the public to any additional charge, wil'
and much to the credit of the noble asylumrs and thel
happiness of those who have selecied it as the locality of
their declining days.

A NeLssestail TOIICH.—When her Majesty's ship
Investigator reached the Sandwich Islands, on her way
to Behring's Straits, she there fell in with ber Majesty's
surveying vessel Herald, Captain Kellett, C.B. The
Enterprise, Captain
Polliuson, C.B. had not at
that time made her appearance, and as the
season was drawing on, Commander M'Clure expressed
a most anxious desire to proceed. Captain Kellett
seemed, however, desirous that he should await the
arrival of his consort, but at length consented that ho
should continue his voyage. Commander hlSClure lost
no time, weighed anchor immediately, and made sail.
Captain Kellett, however, on second thoughts, decided
upon recalling him t• but it was too late, the Gallant
Commander of the Investigator could brook no further
delay and telegraphed is reply, "Important Duty,"
" Own responsibility," and dashed on with an energetic
determination to accomplish the object for which he had
been fitted out. The Enterprise did nut arrive for some
days afterwards, and in consequence
was compelled to

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
MINES.—The market continues dull, but without ma-
terial change from our last week's report. Dividend
shares are still sougobt for, as also the superior class of
non-dividend mines; and it is almost unnecessary to add
that, with very few exceptions, all others are neglected.
Looking at the circumstances in which the business is
placed, we incline to the opinion that it will now require
some months to restore the market to a healthy tone;
but, in the meantime, purchases may be effected of the
class of mines which may be designated progressive, on
terms rendered highly favourable to the capitalists by
the price being assimilated more closely than of late to
their intrinsic value.
