Detachments from the Horse Brigade, the Ist,
3d, 4th, sth, and 6th Brigades, and also from the
Depot Royal Artillery have been ordered to pro-
ceed from head-quarters, Woolwich, to Shoebury-
ness on the 28th inst., for the purpose of entering
into a course of instruction in the school of gunnery.

are :—Lieuts. J. L. Bell, Ist Brigade; S. J. Nichol-
son sth Brigade; W. D. Carey, 6th Brigade; and

Intelligence has been received at the head-quar-
ters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham,
that the 23d company of Royal Engineers, under
the command of Lieut.-Col. G. Graham, V.C., is

now on its passage home from China, and that it
may shortly be expected to arrive at Brompton-
barracks, where quarters are to be prepared for the
officers and men. The 23d company has seen a
great deal of service during the last few years,
having served in the Crimea during nearly the
whole of the Russian campaign, after which it was
ordered to India, where it served during the recent
rebellion, and subsequently proceeded to China,
and was present at the capture of Pekin.
The distribution of the prizes awarded to the
non commissionad officers and men of the Chatham
division of Royal Marines Light Infantry for excel-
lence in rifle firing, on the completion of their
annual course of musketry instruction, took place
yesterday on the parade-ground of the barracks, at
a full parade of the officers and men of the battalion.
The number of prizes taken by the non com-
missioned officers and men of the Chatham division
is 68, but only a portion of that number were deco-
rated yesterday, the remainder being absent from
head• quarters, either serving afloat or on other duty.
The presentation of the prizes was made by Lieut.-
Col. R. J. M'Killop, six men being awarded a gold
badge with crossed muskets to be worn for one year,
the wearer being granted 2d. per day additional
pay during that period ; and 22 men receiving a
less expensive kind of badge, which carries with it
one penny per day extra pay. The remaining 40
men will be decorated on their return to head-
quarters, a few of them who proved themselves to
be first-class shots receiving an addition of 3d. per
day to their pay.

Oersted's great Experiment, step by step, has been deve-
loped, until the latest improvements have given us the un-
failing magnetic telegraph. Herring's magnetic brushes and
combs are now so perfected, that they are unfailing, in re-
storing the colour to grey hair, and curing neuralgia and
nervous headache. N.B.— Counterfeits are being made.

[ADVERTISEMENT:] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Be prepared.—ln Great Britain one-third of our deaths is
caused by consumption. It usually makes its attack
between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and is ushered in by
debility, dry cough, and other unmistakable signs wbbin hichs
could be and should be immediately:removed by ruF
celebrated Ointment upon the back and chest. The
morning fric.ion
must be brisk, and repeated regularly night The
friction
and two of Holloway's purifying Pills should be taken at
bed time, as an alterative to gate the cough and
fever. The early employment of this treatment is of the
most momentous importance, whether to prevent the fatal
disease or to direct it, when developed, to a safe and favour-
able issue.
