A dispute has arisen between the military autho-
rities and the Board of Guardians at Chatham rela-
tive to the manner in which lunatic soldiers who
have become inmates of the asylum, Fort Pitt, are
discharged from that establishment as paupers, and
allowed to become chargeable to the parish in
which Fort Pitt Hospital is situated. For some
time past the military authorities have been in the
constant habit of getting rid of those insane sol-
diers who are incurable and without friends by re-
moving them from the hospital and turning them
into the streets of Chatham, the parish authorities
having previously received intimation of the place
and hour at which they would be released from
military control, in order that, under the existing,
statutes they might make arrangements for ap-
prehending the lunatics so discharged, and re-
moving them to the workhouse, where they,
of course, become chargeable to the Board of
Guardians. In consequence of repeated instances
of the kind having recently occurred, several re-
monstrances have been addressed by the guardians
to the military authorities, but without at all
checking the practice complained of. Under these
circumstances the Board of Guardians have had the
matter brought before the authorities connected
with the War Department, who have taken the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown on the sub-
ject, the result of which has been that the law
officers give their opinion that, under the existing
Acts, the military authorities are fully justified in
the course they have adopted. As tho mainte-
nance of so large a number of lunatic military
paupers entails a considerable expense on the union,
steps are about to be taken to bring the subject
before Parliament with a view to remedying the
evil.
The first portion of the volunteers from several
of the Militia regiments at Aldershott to the Royal
Marine Light Infantry arrived at head-quarters,
Chatham, on Friday evening, when 48 volunteers
joined that division. About 50 more are expected
to arrive to-day.
Col. Congdon, Woolwich division of Royal
Marines, has been granted two months' leave of
absence from duty, to recruit his health. Accord-
ing to the last monthly return received at Wool-
wich the nwriber of recruits enlisted in the four
divisions of Royal Marines is as follows :---Wool-
wich division, 354; Portsmouth, 435; Chatham,
199 ; and Plymouth, 291.
In consequence of the present pressure on the
Storekeeper's Department of Woolwich Arsenal in
the shipment of war stores the whole of the la-
bourers were retained on overtime during the usual
half-holiday of Saturday. Various ships are like-
wise being laden with military clothing.
Major Hawkings's field battery left Devonpert
on Saturday for the camp at Aldershott. They
were appointed to rest the first night at Ashburton,
and will probably reach their destination about the
14th inst.
By a return of all persons entitled to medical at-
tendance, not including contractor's meu, in Wool-
wich Arsenal, it appears that the establishment has
considerably increased during the past mouth. The
total number of civil and military officers, masters,

only one surgeon, one assistant-surgeon, one dis-
penser, two assistants, one surgeryman, and one
book-keeper.

THE MILITIA.
The Leicestershire Militia (numbering 900
strong), under the command of Co!onel King, are
now in course of training on the race-course, Lei-
cester. The men assembled on Thursday. The
volunteer non-commissioned officers (serjeants and
corporals) have been undergoing a course of in-
struction from the adjutant and staff in the new
manual platoon exercise for the last month at the
magazine.
The Denbigh Rifles assembled at Wrexham or.
the 22d of June. The muster was a good one. 'rue
number of men present is 430; quota, 465. They
are drilled daily in eight companies.
The 3d Royal Westminster Regiment o? Militia
is under orders to assemble at Turnhe.m-green on
Friday, the 15th inst.

[AnwarriszmEN-T.]—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
For all skin diseases, however inveterate, these medicines
are a sovereign remedy. While the Ointment, passes
through the pores of the skin, as water saturates the soil,
or as salt penetrates meat, the Pills act upon the blood,
which they correct and purify. Tho whole physical ma-
chinery is thus rendered healthy, regular, and vigorous.
The cure thus effected is not partial and temporary ; the
disease is entirely and for ever driven from the system, and
the patient need not be apprehensive of its return. As
these medicines have no violent action, they do not neces-
sitate any interruption of ordinary vocations. They are
composed of rare balsams, and may safely be given to YOUng
