copyholds and- leaseholds within borough—item,
all the objections thereto. They have to find out
and claim for all copyholds, leaseholds, and estates
for life below £lO and dovin to £5. They have to
carve out holdingS between £5O and £lO in coun-
ties, and lands without houses in boroughs, besides
keeping alivc claims to be rated, and payment of
rates for all these. They have to make out claims
every year for lodgers or boarders paying £2O a
year. They have to hunt up and dig out all annui-
tants of the public funds, East India Company, or
Bank Stock of £lO, and to see that the overseers
make annual inquiries ; also all Government pen-
sioners of £2O a year, and all depositors of £6O in
savings banks. They have to discover graduates
of the universities, established clergymen, Dissent-
ing ministers, barristers, attorneys, doctors and
certificated schoolmasters, and make claims for each
of these, taking care that such claims are precise in
all the particulars required by the act. They are to
watch all omissions from the overseers' lists, and
make claims to restore the omitted. They are to
see that the overseers make the proper yearly in-
quiries at the Government and Bank offices in
reference to the continued property of fundholders,
annuitants, and pensioners. And, after all, they
are to have a register crammed with impurities,
fictions, and errors.

THE ARMY.

On the occasion of the Duke of Cambridge re-
viewing the troops at Chatham Garrison on Tues-
day, his Royal' Highness paid a vist to St. Mary's
Casemate Barracks, which are occupied almost
exclusively by the wounded and disabled troops
sent home from India and the other foreign stations,
for the purpose of inspecting that establishment, and
witnessing the improvements which have recently
been there made.

down the river from Woolwich, on Tuesday, on trial
of her engines of 150-horse power, newly fitted. The

training ship Venus have been entered on the
books of the Fisgard, flagship, far ten years' con-
tinuous and general service in the Royal Navy,
after attaining the age of 18 years. In consequence
of the number of vessels now fitting out, a con-
siderable demand exists for able seamen, petty
officers, and engineers.
The new slip, constructed of corrugated iron, at
the east end of Woolwich Dockyard, is now being
prepared for laying down the screw steam vessel
