TIE ARMY.

Colonel Tulloh, R.A., Superintendent of the Royal
Carriage Department of Woolwich Arsenal and In-
spector of Artillery, yesterday proceeded to Dover,
where he will be engaged until Thursday in inspect-
ing the coast defences and armament of that station.

The appointment of chief paymaster to the
Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers at Woolwich,
which has been held for some time past by Major
Marvin, A.A., is about to be abolished. The pay-
ment will in future be made by the respective
brigade paymasters, that of the Riding-house esta-
blishment having been entrusted by the War
Department to Paymaster Gibbs, Horse Brigade.
Major Marvin will in consequence withdraw from
the service on a retiring pension, to which his long
services entitle him.

The authorities of the Military Store Department
of Woolwich Arsenal yesterday received informa-
tion from the War-office to the effect that the steam
transport Zebra, laden with war stores, in attempt-
ing to proceed down the river from the docks, had
sustained some serious damage to her hull, and was
fast filling with water off Rotherhithe. The autho-
rities were ordered to supply the necessary requi-
sites without delay for the recovery of the stores,
for which a couple of barges were hastily despatched.
The War-office steam storeship Lord Panmure,
H. J. Moore, commander, sailed from Woolwich
yesterday for Tilbury Fort and Purflcet; to fill up
with powder and ammunition for Dovonport and
Bill Point.

The following transports have been taken up by
the War Department for the conveyance of military
stores from Woolwich Arsenal :—The Matilda, the
Queen of the Teign, the Plover, the Sir G. F. Sey-
mour, the Hardy, the Gottenburg, the Meirion's
Bride, the Commodore, the Nile, the Panmure, the
Amelia Eirene, the Diadem, the Heathpark, the
African, the Lady Newborough, and the Regina.
The experimental trials between the Armstrong
and Whitworth 100 pounder guns from the Stork
gunboat at Portsmouth will not take place for some
days, owing to a difficulty which has arisen in
handling the Whitworth since its arrival at Ports-
mouth, and which has necessitated an application
to Mr. Whitworth to again place the gun in work-
ing order. It is also stated that the difficulty has
not arisen from any fault of the gun, either in
principle or manufacture.

The Colonelcy of the 23d Regiment (the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers) has become vacant by the death
of Lieut.-Gen. Henry Rainey, C.B. and K. 11., who
died on the 26th ult. at Brighton. The gallant
General had been nearly 60 years in the army.
Colonel Henry C. Streatfield, retired full pay
87th Foot, died a few days since, aged 70. The late
Colonel's professional services were chiefly, if not
Wholly, confined to India. He served in the Mali-
ratta campaign of 1804 and two following years,
including the assault of Bhurtpere, with the
Grenadiers of the 65th. He was also present at
the capture of the Isle of France in 1810 ; and also
served during the Mahratta campaign of 1817 and
1818.

Lint: Gen. James Irwin Willes, of the corps of
Royal Marines, whose death has been announced to
the Admiralty, was one of the oldest officers belong-
ing to that branch of the service, having entered the
Royal Marines in the year 1804. The deceased
general officer had seen service in nearly every part
of the globe.

MINDING HIS OWL—We remember an Edin-
burgh tradition to the effect that on the occasion of a fire
at the Post-office, a voice was heard, with a nasal twang
in it, shouting to the firemen, " Play on the Kirkintilloch
bag 1 " The poor fellow had posted a letter directed to
that town, and it naturally was to him the supreme point
of interest in the conflagration.—Cowrant.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—We have read with much pleasure
Du Barry's Report on the cure of disf3asee nithout medi-
cine by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food. The follow-
ing are a few extracts which appear to merit the attention
of many :—Cure No. 47,121—" Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of
Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-cross, Harts : a cure of ex-
treme nervousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and
nervous fancies." Cure No. 52,612—The Dowager Countess
of Castlestuart, of many years nervous irritability, bile, and
indigestion. Cure 54,812—Miss Virginia Zeguers, cured

all hopes of recovery. Cure 180—Of W. B. Reeves,
181, Fleet-street, London, of " Twenty-five years

Avoid Pills and Medicines : they invariably aggravate and
perpetuate diseases ; their annoyance, disappointment,
and expense may be avoided by using Du Barry's Food
which, at a few pence per day, saves 50 times its cost in
other remedies, removing effectually, without purging,
constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia) nervous, bilious and
liver complaints and all their consequences. Certificate
No. 36,418. We find it the safest remedy. Andrew tire,
