THE ARMY.

General Sir George Brown, G.C.8., the successor
of General Lord Seaton, G.C.8., commanding the
forces in Ireland, has selected as his Aides•de-Camp
Capt. Edward W. Blackett, now Aide-de-Camp to
Lieut.-General W. T. Knollys, and Capt. F. Kings-
cote. Both officers are in the Rile Brigade, and
served with distinction in the Crimea, the latter
in the 41st Regiment, and were both severely
wounded.

The Secretary of State for War, the Right Hon.
Sidney Herbert, has issued a circular by which it
appears the Royal warrant of the Ist of July, 1818,
prescribing the periods of service to entitle the well-
conducted soldier to obtain the different rates of
good conduct pay, is revised, and that from the Ist
of this month the period of service to entitle such
soldier to the first grant of good conduct pay will
be three years instead of five years, and that the
successive additions will be as heretofore after
every further period of service of five years subject,
however, to the conditions prescribed by the Royal
warrant above specified.
The whole of the available troops in Portsmouth
garrison, comprising the Ist battalion Rifle
Brigade and the Ist Stafford, East Kent, and Bed-
fordshire Militias, will march out at an early hour
this morning, and take up positions to defend the
approaches to the town from the supposed advance
of an enemy. The Ist battalion Rifle Brigade and
the Bedfordshire Militia will proceed to the foot of
Portsdown Downs, where the main body will halt,
and throw out pickets and videttes to command the
country from the approach by Southwick on the
left, and as far as the first road leading down to-
wards Waterloo, on the right of the Petersfield-
road, under the command of Lord A. Russell, com-
naanding Rifle Brigade. The East Kent 'Militia
will take up a position in advance of the village of
Milton. The Stafford Militia will take up a posi-
tion in the rear of the western end of the new lines
at Hilsea, and send out a strong picket to Cosham,
with patrols on the roads to Porchester alai Havant.
The mounted batteries from Hilsea will take up
positions on the summit of Portsdown-hill, and act
in conjunction with the force under Lord A. Rus-
sell. Major-General Sir James Yorke Scarlett,
K.C.8., will command the troops on the occasion.
The recruiting for the corps of Royal Engineers,
ix anticipation of the augmentation of the corps,
which will take effect from the Ist of April, is pro-
ceeding briskly, and a number of intelligent young
men, most of them good mechanics and handicrafts-
men, have lately arrived at head-quarters, Chatham,
to join the detachments.

Sir J. Copley, Bart., has forwarded a donation of
£lOO to the National Lifeboat Institution, in aid of the cost
of two lifeboat establishments on the back of the Isle of
Wight.
