The following circular has been forwarded from the
Horse Guards to all commanding officers of regiments
and depots ;
" The savings'-bank business of depot battalions will,
as heretofore, be transacted under the superintendence of
a committee composed as follows, viz.: —The officer com-
manding, the officer second in command, the adjutant,
and, when possible, of the senior officer of each regimental
depot, with the view of training them to the duties of su-
perior rank and to make themselves conversant with the
details of the savings'-bank business by assisting the com-
mittee in preparing the accounts. Thus the existing re-
gulations for regimental savings'-banks will apply equally
to depot battalions in every respect.—By command.
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General."
Yesterday afternoon the Board of Commissioners from
Chelsea Hospital concluded the inspection of upwards of
200 sick and wounded troops at Chatham, the whole of
whom will be discharged from the service as soon as the
amount of each man's pension has been fixed. The
number of invalids stationed at St. Mary's invalid esta-
blishment exceeds 1,000.
Within the last few days a large number of recruits
have arrived at Chatham Garrison, chiefly from the north-
ern districts, for the purpose of joining the depots of the

Light Infantry, 53d, 60th Rides, 76th Highlanders,

Major-General Sir W. F. Williams has been engaged
daily during the past week in the inspection of the Royal
Artillery Schools at Woolwich. The first of 3 series of
concerts, intended to come off during 'the winter under
the general's immediate patronage, took place last even-
ing•for the amusetnent of the non-commissioned officers
and their families, when fully 1,000 attended, as well_as
a goodly number of officers and their friends. The prizes
consisted of mathematical instruments and handsomely
bound professional books to the more deserving non-
commissioned officers, gunners, and trumpeters. General
Williams has been most minute in his examination of
these schools, and has expressed his perfect approbation
of the efficient manner in which they are conducted, and
which reflects the utmost credit on all the officials. Capt.
Freeth has been unceasing in his efforts for the success
of these establishments, and is ably assisted by the super-
intendent, Mr. Wharrv, and the 4isiuterested zeal of the
chaplains, the Revs. Mr. Scott and Mr. Wright, in the
discharge of this portion of their duty. The object of
this series of concerts is to demonstrate the successful
result of the musical instructions given to the non-com-
missioned officers, men, and boys at the schools during
the past year, under the direction of Mr. Smyth, the
bandmaster of the corps.
