The 32d Company of Royal Engineers, which was
some time since placed under orders to embark for
St. Helena, to be employed in the erection of addi-
tional defences for that island, has been augmented
to 80 non-commissioned officers and men, from the
companies and detachments now at headquarters,
and this, with 20 men of the Royal Engineers now
doing duty at St. Helena, who will be attached to
the company on its arrival in that island, will
make its strength the requires number of 100 men
of all ranks. The 32d Company has undergone the
usual medical inspection, in order that none but
men in good health and capable of undertaking the
dative on which they will be engaged may be
sent out to St. Helena. Everything has been
prepared for the embarkation, end the company is
ready to leave Chatham at a few hours' notice.
The officers who proceed with the 32d to St.

sions, before Major-Gen. Rumley, vice-president
and the members of the Council of Military Educa-
tion, will commence to day at the Royal Hospital,
Chelsea, and will occupy six days, terminating on
Saturday next.
.A general parade of the officers and men of the
Royal Marines Light Infantry now at head-quar-
ters, Chatham, took place yesterday morning, prior
to the battalion attending Divine service, for the
purpose of witnessing the ceremony of decorating
five non-commissioned officers of the corps with
silver medals, which, together with gratuities vary-
ing in amount, had been presented them by the
Lords Commissioners of the Adtr;ralty, for long
service and meritorious conduct. The battalion
having been formed into square, with
,the non-
commissioned officers to be decorated ranged in
front, the adjutant read the official documents from
the Admiralty directing the distribution, their lord-
ships ordering the name of each of the recipients to
be affixed to the church and chapel doors of the
parish to which he belongs. Colonel-Commandant
Rea then advanced to the front, and, addressing
the division under his command, said it was his
most pleasing duty to present to the non-commis-
sioned officers they saw before them medals for
their good conduct and long service. When he
spoke of long service he might point to the fact
that each of the non-commissioned officers then to
be decorated had see ved upwards of twenty years
without having committed any offence, and when a
man had done that he was deserving of everything
he could get in the shape of rewards. It was often
the case in the army that a man might succeed in
getting a medal for distinguishing himself in some
act of gallantry without being at all remarkable for
his steadiness of conduct, but no man could serve
upwards of 20 years without a stain on his charac-
ter unless there were something in him. The
medals he was about to present would be certifi-
cates of good conduct to each of the men as long as
they lived, and, although the breast of one of the
non-commissioned officers was already covered with
four medals, this additional medal was by no means
the least important. He only hoped that the dis-
tribution of the honours that day would be the
means of stimulating every man on the parade-
ground td strive to do his best, and to faithfully
perform his duty to the Crown. Colonel Rea
then fastened the medal to the breast of each of
the non-commissioned officers, at the same time
sishing them long life to exhibit their well-
earned eertificates of good conduct. Sergeant
Frederick Vanderkiste, the first decorated, has been
no less than 32 years in the corps of Royal Marines,
11 of which he has been a non-commissioned officer ;
he receives a gratuity of £l5. Provost-Serg. John
Turner has been upwards of 22 years in the service,
16 of which he has been a non-commissioned officer;
he is decorated with the Crimean medal with clasps
for 13alaklava and Sebastopol, two medals for actions
in Syria, and the Turkish Crimean medal ; he also
receives a gratuity of 1:15. Serg. Wm. Jeffries has
been 26 years in the Royal Marines, and 23 years
a non-commissioned officer ; he is in receipt of the
good-conduct medal and an annuity of £lO, and
also the Syrian medal. Colour-Serg. John Alexander
has been upwards of 21 years' service, 17 of which
he has, been a non-commissioned officer. Lance-
Corporal Wm. Clarringbould has served 21 years in
the Royal Marines, and receives a gratuity of £5.

[ADVERTISBMENT.]—IfoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Derivative Remedies.—Where all important vital organs
become disordered it is of momentous importance to draw
the cause of disease elsewhere where it can be borne with
less mischief. Hence, in chest complaints, blisters are fre-
quently ordered as derivatives of disease from the lungs ,
but their derivative power is far excelled by rubbing Hol-
loway's Ointment upon the back and chest. Its effect is
speedy and permanent, without the annoyance and pain of
blistering. Holloway's Pills should likewise be taken.
They regulate respiration and expel impurities. These
two potent remedies, if aptly applied according to their ao-
e:zepanying instructions, would removepeotoral complaints
from their preaent prominent position in the weekly raor-
tali% 4 olzare raAch distress in familio,
