WINDSOR PARK.

Colonel SALWEY wished to ask the First Commis.
sioner of Woods, " Whether the entrance to the public
avenue, commonly known as the Long Walk, at Windsor,
is to continue in the ruinous and neglected state in which
it has been allowed to remain since the removal of the
lodge, twelve months ago? Also, whether there is
any intention of closing any portion of that avenue?"
Lord SEYMOUR, to tho first question, replied that
immediate steps would be taken for the improvement of
the entrance of the Long Walk;. and to the second ques-
tion, that there was no intention of closing any portion
of that avenue.
The House adjourned at a few minutes to Four
o'clock.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
ARMY PENSIONS.—We are glad to find that the Go-
verument have at last favourably entertained the case of
those men who served and were wounded in action in
the Peninsula, but discharged on th© completion of their
limited period of service without a pension. It has al-
we, s been considered a great hardship to withhold from
those deserving old soldiers the grant of some pecuniary
allowance. It ie gratifying, therefore, that after the
lapse of so many years their services are recognised, and
that they will enjoy, without parochial assistance, the
means of decent subsistence.
FLAG-CAPTAIN TO REAR-ADMIRAL HENDER9ON, C.B.
—lt will be seen that Captain St. Leger Cannon has
been appointed flag-captain to the newly appointed Coni-
mender-in-Chief for the South-East Coast of America
station. We understand that Captain Francis Decimus
Hastings (1840), was the officer selected, and actually,
eoeived his commission on Wednesday; but in conse-
quence of that gallant officer having been suddenly
seized with a fit of apoplexy, the commission was re-
turned the same day.
Captain William Slaughter, K.H. (1837), a distin-
guished officer who served afloat for about 18 years
during the war, but who has not served since he was
posted, has accepted the retirement of 1846. He is in
receipt of the Greenwich out-pension.
The new commander-in-chief of the south-oast coast
of itnierica station, Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., is
said to have obtained his appointment through the in-
terest of the Duke of Wellington. He was Captain
of Sandowa Castle, a sinecure appointment in the gift
of his Grace, as the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
The Admiralty have ordered the Apollo, 8, troop-
-1014), Commander Rawstorne, on her arrival from Hali-
fax with her troops, to proceed to Chatham and be paid
oil at that port. She has done gOod service since
January, 1849.
The Direcior of Works at Devonport Dockyard, Cap-
tain Williams, RE., has been promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel, and will now we presume quit the
extraordinary dockyard service and return to his legiti-
mate position in his own corps.
NEW STEAM-SHIPS FOR THE NAVY.—The Admi-
ratty have ordered two new screw-ships to be laid down
at Pembroke Dockyard—one, a screw-frigate, on the
lines of the Tribune, 28, building at Sheerness; and the
other, a paddle-wheel steam-sloop, on the lines of the
Cruiser, building at Deptford Dockyard.
BRITISH CLIPPERS IN THE CHINA TRADE.—By OOT
last accounts from China we hear that the clipper
ships Reindeer, Oriental, and Stornaway have
arrived—the latter, built fur Messrs. Jardine,
Matheson, and Cu., expressly for the tea-carrying
trade, has already made, for this time of the year,
a splendid passage from Bombay, beating acme two
dozen vessels that left before her; and bets upon her
performance homeward will, it is expected, run very
high. She is commanded by an experienced hand in
these seas, Captain John Robertson. formerly of the
John O'Gaunt.

Lieutenant Rayner, of the 23d Fusiliers, has been
appointed Acting Paymaster to the reserved battalion,
in lieu of Hopton, promoted.
Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Sir Edward Blake-
ney, G.C.B. and G.C.H., commanding the forces in
Ireland, has left Dublin for England on leave of absence.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal.)
The inquiry tor shares this week has predominated
over the amount of business done, and, on the whole, our
market wears as healthy an appearance as a diminished
business allows. Several of the progressive mines have
announced samplings of increased quantities of ore, both
lesd and copper ; and the shares in such have, in con-
sequence, attracted more attention. Still, the market
generally is much in favour of the buyer, and we think
must c;intinue so for some months to come— it being eviden t
th other causes must concur with the present abund-
ance of capital to produce a perf..ctly satisfactory state of
affairs for both buyers and seilers of mining shares. We
have again to remark that there is a large class of stock
upon which heavy sums have been expended, quite un-
saleable for the moment.
