THE ARMY.

The following General Order to the whole of
he Army at home and abroad was promulgated
yesterday :
" His Royal Highness the General Commanding-
in-Chief, with the concurrence of the Secretary of
State for War, having approved the following rules
and regulations, relative to small arm ammunition
for the army, they are promulgated for the infor-
mation and guidance of all officers.
" The officer commanding the Royal Artillery,
with an army, whether in the field, or occupying
any garrison, fortress, or district at home or abroad,
is to be considered and held entirely responsible to
the General, or other superior officer in command,
for the preservation and transport or sufficient re-
serves of small arm ammunition for the troops.
" For an army in the field the first and second
reserves are to be with the Royal Artillery, and the
third reserve and great depot in the charge of offi-
cers of the Military Store Department.
" The first reserve is to be conveyed in artillery
small arm ammunition waggons attached to the field
batteries with each division, and each of these wag-
gons will be provided with cradles and ladders to
admit of the leading horses being made use of in
transporting ammunition to such positions as it may
be found impracticable to reach with the waggons.
" The second reserve is also to be conveyed in ar-
tillery small arm ammunition waggons by the details
of the Royal Artillery, which have the reserve of
the gun ammunition in charge.
" These reserves are to be under the immediate
orders of the officer commanding the artillery of
each division, who will be responsible to the gene •
cal officer thereof, that the waggons containing the
ammunition of the first reserve are from time to
time completed, as far as circumstances will permit,
from the second reserve ; and that in like manner
the second reserve is completed from the third re-
serve in the keeping of the military store officers.
(c Under ordinary circumstances the supply of
ammunition in the field is to be made on requisitions
of commanding officers of the corps, which are to
be sent to the Adjutant-General of the division, and,
should the general commanding approve, the com-
manding officer of artillery with the division will
be authorised to make the issue ; when, however,
the army or a division is actually engaged, the com-
manding officer of artillery may issue ammunition
on the requisition of any commanding officer ap-
plying to him.
" The second reserve should always be up with the
army, but kept as far as practicable from under fire.
The third reserve should not be more than an or-
dinary two days' march in the rear of the army.
" If the base of operations should exceed an ordi-
nary two days' march, additional reserves will be
required, but this is a matter tkat must rest with
the general officer commanding, who would direct
the commanding officer of artillery. to make the ne-
cessary arrangements with the chief officer of the
Military Store Department for insuring a proper
and regular supply of ammunition.
" In fortresses, garrisons, &c., general officers
are to held the commanding officers of artillery
responsible for there being a proper reserve of
small arm ammunition, in charge of the mili-
tary store officers, available at all times for issue.
Small arm ammunition waggons will be attached
to the field batteries of artillery at the camps
of instruction at home, and the General Com-
manding in Chief desires that the general officers
will accustom the troops to obtain small aria
ammunition for exercise when in the field, in the
manner that would be followed in actual warfare,
in the cases of supply of ball cartridge, with the
infantry being exhausted.

" By command,
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General."

A large party of discharged troops, to the num•
ber of upwards of 3-10 men of all ranks, belonging
to various regiments now serving in India, arrived
at Chatham garrison on Monday evening from
Bombay, having disembarked the same afternoon
at Gravesend from the East India troopship Mount-
eagle, Capt. Larby. The troops left Bombay on the
10th of December last.

The next competitive examination for candidates
for admission into the Royal Indian Military Aca-
demy at Addiscombe is to commence on Wednesday,
the 16th of May, when 60 appointments will be
competed for. The examination will take place at
the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. The Secretary of State
for India in Council has determined to allow the
sum of £OO to each cadet who may obtain a com-
mission in the Engineers or Artillery, after a resi-
dence of three terms at the Addiscombe College, in
aid of the expenses of his education and residence
at that institution.

Places for the erection of barracks for the accom-
modation of a strong force of cavalry and horse ar-
tillery on the garrison parade-ground near the
Military-road, Colchester, have been forwarded to
the Horse Guards for the inspection of the General
Commanding-in-Chief, who is shortly expected to
visit the locality.

BLEC TION INTE.LLIUEI% ,'B.

NORWICH, TUESDAY.
After negotiations extending, over several days,
two candidates have at last been secured, in the
persons of Mr. W. D. Lewis, Q.C., and Mr. W.
Forlonge, a wealthy gentleman from Australia.
These gentlemen arrived in Norwich last evening,
and at about 10 p.m. commenced expounding their
sentiments to a very noisy and tumultuous meet-
ing. Mr. J. G. Johnson was called to the chair ;
but before his arrival Sir Samuel Bignold, who has
contested four elections for Norwich in the Conser-
vative interest, addressed the meeting at consider-
able length, amid confusion and some applause.
He assured the meeting that the candidates se-
lected—Mr. Lewis and Mr. Forlonge—would not
support a 10d. income tax merely to " pander to a
Manchester clique." (Cheers and uproar.) The
Chairman then introduced
Mr. LEWIS, who avowed himself a Protestant,
and expressed his conviction that Protestantism
was one of the great interests of the country. He
was for a free Bible, free churches, for free speech,
for free platforms, and for families free from the
confessional. (Cheers.) He should vote against the
grant to Maynooth, and he deprecated the course
adopted by Lord Derby in 'coquetting with 'the
Irish Romanists, making beds to them and nibbling
at our Protestant safeguards, when the Govern-
ment were hard presse for votes. (Hear, hear.)
With regard to church-rates he believed the State
should make provision for the worship of God, and
he considered that most delusive arguments were
used on the subject, but he did not object to Dis-
senters being exempted from church-rates on con-
dition that they abstained from all interference in
church matters. With regard to reform, he asked
why should a constitution under which ,England
had risen to be one of the first nations of the world
be changed recklessly and upon speculative
grounds ? He protested against the Radicals arro-
gating to themselves the right of speaking of the
working classes as if theronly sympathised with
them, and against any change in the constitution
which would have the effect of making the votes of
the working classes numerically superior to the
combined opinions and votes of all other classes.
With regard to foreign affairs, he sympathised with
the Italians in the noble struggle they had made
for liberty, but he counselled an attitude of watch-
fulness towards our powerful neighbour across the
Channel. Mu. Lewis, who, spoke with considerable
eloqueice, was warmly; cheered on resuming his
seat.

Mr. FORLONGE said his conservatism was the
conservatism of experience, as he had seen the
working of the democratic constitutions of America,
the republics of South Ainciica, and the Colonies of
Australia. The proposed Reform Bill would throw
the whole political power of the country into the
hands of one class, while the principle of the glorious
constitution of Great Britain was ajudicious balance
of various interests. The doctrine of annexation
propounded by the Emperor Napoleon would, he
feared, be found subversive of the liberties of
Europe, if pushed to its full development—(cheers)
—and already there was apparently a feeling
of general uneasiness. As regards our policy in the
East, he believed—speaking from his personal know-
ledge of the Asiatic character—that we must make
our arms respected, and we could then do an im-
mense trade with China. Of the ballot he could
speak with confidence, for he had seen its working
in Australia and America, where every well-edu-
cated man and lover of his country regarded it as
an immense evil. The proposed abolition of church
rates he looked upon as an absolute " confiscation"
of Church property. (No, no, and cheers.)
A resolution, pledging the party to support Mr.
Forlonge and 'Mr. Lewis was adopted, on the mo-
tion of Sir S. Bignold, and the meeting then broke
up in some confusion. A second " midnight meet-
ing" was afterwards held in one of the wards.
The Liberals are displaying corresponding acti-
vity, and the same train which brought down the
Conservative candidates carried also their oppo-
nents. The contest will be an exciting one.

EXETER.—Mr. Alfred Seymour, the candidate
for this city, in the room of Mr. Divett, has just
issued his address, in which he expresses himself
firmly attached to those liberal opinions which so
triumphantly carried the Reform Act of 1832, and
more lately carried the free trade measures. Though
firmly attached to the Established Church, he is
most anxious to see church rates abolished. He
would desire to see a measure introduced to put a
stop to such scandals as those which have occurred
at St. George's-in-the-East. With regard to reform,
he expresses approval of Lord J. Russell's bill, but
would desire a clause by which that portion of the
industrial population who live in lodgings should
likewise have the benefit of the franchise. In refe-
rence to the ballot, he should have wished to see
the working of the new Reform Bill and the Cor-
rupt Practices Bill before deciding, but he has
come to the determination to support that measure
at once.

EAST SOMERSET.--Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare,
Bart., of Stourhead House, will, it is said, contest
the Eastern Division of Somersetshire in the Libe-
ral interest at the next general election.
THE IRISH ELECTIONS.---The writ for the Ros-
common election has been received by the High
Sheriff. The daylnamed by him for the nomination
of candidates is Monday, the 26th of Mareh, in the
courthouse of Roscommon. Capt. Goff, accompanied
by the Hon. R. E. King and others, canvassed the
electors of Boyle on Tuesday last, when, we are
assured (says the _Roscommon Journal), the Liberals
to a man refused to support him. Mr. Thomas
M'Dermot and Mr. J. D. M'Dermot, on behalf of
the O'Conor Don, canvassed the people of Boyle on
Monday last, and were everywhere received with
enthusiasm, and with cordial and sincere pro-
mises of support. In every part of the county,
we have reason to believe, the canvass for the Don
has been actually successful. He arrived in Dublin
on Sunday from Rome, and has proceeded to Ros-
common. In Clare, Captain Charles White, a near
relation of the unseated member, will oppose Mr.
Calcutt. A sharp contest is expected.
