TILE ARMY.

By a circular memorandum, dated the Bth of
June, 1861, his Royal Highness the General Com-
mading-in-Chief, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of State for War, has directed that on
and after the 20th inst. the bounty for all recruits
for the army shall be reduced from £2 to £l, which
is to be paid to them on joining their corps in cash,
without deduction.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding-
in-Chief has been pleased, with the concurrence of
the Secretary of State for India in Council, to
select Brevet-Major W. W. H. Greathead, C. 8.,
Bengal Engineers, as assistant military secretary
at head-quarters temporarily, vice Brevet Lieut.-
Col. H. W. Norman, C. 8., who has been permitted
to relinquish the appointment for the purpose of
resuming that of Deputy Adjt.-General in Bengal.
At °lie o'clock yesterday morning a detachment
of 40 men, belonging to various corps serving in
Newfoundland and Halifax, arrived at Chatham gar-
rison from Liverpool, under the command of Lieut.
IW. L. Knowles, 63d Regiment, having disembarked
from the American mail steamer Europa. The
troops belong to the Royal Artillery, Royal Engi-
neers, 62d and 63d Regiments. After they had
been medically inspected, six men were admitted
into Fort Pitt Hospital, and three taken into the
Lunatic Asylum, the remainder being forwarded
Ito the St. Mary's Invalid Establishment.

Yesterday the whole of the officers and troops
comprising the 2d battalion of infantry at Chatham
assembled on the inner lines, for the purpose of
witnessing the decoration of Sergeant-Major H.
Pangbourne and Corporal J. Wilson, two non-
commissioned officers, and J. Gad, a private soldier
of the battalion, with silver medals, which together
with money gratuities, had been awarded them by
the Duke of Cambridge for long service and meri-
torious conduct.

The London Rifle Brigade are to drill on Satur-
day next with regular troops. Preparations were
yesterday commenced at Chatham for a night
attack on an extensive scale, in which the entire
force of the garrison, together with the Volunteers,
will take part.

On Tuesday the troops in the Edinburgh garri-
son—namely, the Scots Greys, 26th (Cameronians),
and Royal Artillery, were reviewed in Holyrood-
park by Major-General Walker, commanding in
North Britain. The weather being favourable
there was a large assemblage of spectators. The
evolutions included the assault on positions held by
a supposed enemy, and also the ordinary parade
movements, all of which were executed with
steadiness and excellent order.

It was yesterday announced at head-quarters,
Royal Artillery, Woolwich, that according to pre-
sent arrangements, the Great Eastern, conveying
troops to Canada, will sail from Liverpool about
the 20th inst. Major Penn's battery of the 4th
brigade, Royal Artillery, is under orders to march
from Aldershot with horses, Armstrong guns, and
battery complete this morning, to be in readiness
for embarkation. An additional battery of 12-
pounder Armstrong guns will be forwarded from
Woolwich Arsenal, together with 2,500 rounds of
ammunition, &c., for conveyance by the Great
Eastern to Quebec. As the march from the camp
to Liverpool would occupy seven days, it is expected
a part of the journey will be performed by rail.
A heavy reserve of 100 and 40-pounder Arm-
strong guns, and ammunition, is in readiness for
transport from Woolwich Arsenal for Malta, and
also a reserve of ammunition for Bermuda, Halifax,
and Jamaica.

A course of experiments was yesterday entered
into at the long range in Woolwich marsh for the
purpose of testing the effect of liquid iron on a rico-
chet gun battery, supposed to be engaged in active
warfare. A number of gun-carriages, platforms,
and dummies in wood, representing artillerymen,
distributed in zig zag fashion, were planted about
the battery, which received the storm of molten fire
poured in rapid succession from Martin's shells,
fired from a couple of 68-pounder smooth-bore guns.
The effect, it appears, was satisfactory, and was wit-
nessed by Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.8., com-
manding at Woolwich, and the garrison Staff, con-
sisting of Major Reilly, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp, Bri-
gade Major Milward, Major Field, Deputy-Assist.-
Quartermaster-General, Sir William Armstrong,
K.C.8., Mr. Anderson, Col. St. George, President,
and the Members of the Select Committee of Wool-
wich Arsenal. The guns were supplied by 50 gun-
ners of the Royal Artillery, and were fired at an
elevation of five degrees over a range of 600 yards.
The iron was melted in Inie of the new cupolas, of
which 300 have been received at Woolwich for dis-
tribution around the coast and to the colonies abroad.

An arrangement, which has been for some time

in contemplation by the War Department, to effect
an alteration in the system of conducting the cash
account of the manufacturing departments of the
Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, was yesterday carried
out, three paymasters having been appointed to
take the entire charge and responsibility of all cash
matters, instead of the heads of departments, as
heretofore. These officers are to be bonded in
heavy sureties and are to receive an additional
salary for their increased duties and responsibilities.
The appointments have been conferred on the late
heads of the cash and account branches of the de-
partments, viz., Messrs. W. Elliott, Royal Gun
Factories; C. Ellis, Royal Carriage Department;
and W. Thorpe, Royal Laboratories.
