THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
BOMBAY COMIAND.—We understand that Major-
General Sir John Grey will shortly embark and assume
the command of the Bombay army.

GOVERNOR OF ST. llELENZ—Lieutenant-Colonel
Robert Clarke, Royal Artillery, has assumed the ad
ministration of Government, in consequence cf the la-
mented death of the late Governor, Major-General
Sir Patrick Rose. Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke has ap-
pointed Captain Ross, 85th Regiment (son of the de-
ceased), his Aide-de-Camp and Military Secretary, and
Captain T. B. Knipe, East India Company's Service,
to be his Colonial Aide ne-Camp.

LONG SERVICE.—The ten oldest officers in the service
on full pay, still holding the rank of field officers, are—
Colonel Sir James Dennis, K.C.8., 3d Buffs, 1796 ;
Colonel Descard, 99th Regiment, 1799; Colonel Camp-
bell, ICH.. 95th Regiment, 1803 ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Jackson, 99th Regiment, 1803 ; Lieutenant-Colonel
notlis, 25th Regiment, 1803; Lieutenant-Colonel Deane,
K.H., Ist Royal Regiment, 1804 ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Trydell, 83d Regiment, 1804; Lieutenant• Colonel Sim-
monds, Ceylon. Rifle: Regiment, 1805 ; Lieutenant-
Colonel Derinzy, K.H., 86th Regiment, 1806; Lieute-
nant-Colonel Water, 95th Regiment, 1806.
THE LATE SIR EPHRAIM S. STANNUS.—We regret to
see announced the death of Major-General Sir Ephraim
Stannus, the Governor of the East India Company's
Military College, Addiscombe. Sir Ephraim was a
very superior officer, and a most amiable man. He
served in the Bombay Army, and distinguished him-
self in the field and in the Staff. The llon. Moant-
stuart Elphinstone, one of the most sagacious states-
men of modern times, selected him as his Military
Secretary during the time that he held the Govern-
ment of Bombay, soon after the conquest of the Deccan.
It needed superior talents to satisfy the requirements of
Mr. Elphinstone, and General Stannus possessed them.
Sir Ephraim served in the Persian Gulf, in one of the
expeditions in 1820-21, and was of great utility to the
General Officer in command. As he was beloved in life,
so is he mourned by all who knew him. We have not
heard his successor named, nor are there many Gene-
ral Officers in the Company's service capable of ade-
quately supplying his place.
THE MEDICAL STAFF.—In last meek's number we
noticed the retirement of Sir James MacGiegor, and
further stated that rumours were so various as to who
was to be his successor, that we refrained from
mentioning any of them. We now find that no de-
finite arrangements will be hastily made; in all pro-
bability note till after the return of the Com-
mander-in-Chief and the Secretary-at-War to town.
Proposals we are aware were submitted, and have been
considered for some time past, for consolidating the
Army and Ordnance Medical Departments; and it has
all along been understood that, as soon as ever a vacancy,
occurred in the appointment of Director-General of Hos-
pitals, the whole of the medical departments of the army
would undergo revision.
GRENADIER GUARDS.—It is rumoured that silk sashes
are about to be supplied to the sergeants of the Grena-
dier Guards instead of those made of worsted, which
are at present worn by those non-commissioned officers.
We hope soon to congratulate the men of this regiment
on the comfort they will derive when the order is issued
to discontinue pips-clay to the white trowsers, and to
substitute wholesome washing, The latter process will
be the mesas of contributing considerably to the health
of the soldier.

GAS LIGHTS FOR BARRACKS.—The Hiberian Gas
Company at Dublin have sent in tenders to the Board of
Ordnance to light the barracks at Dublin, Limerick, and
Cork with gas. This must be a great boon to the soldier,
in exchange for the heretofore wretched dips provided by
the Ordnance Board,who, by-the- by, afford more light to
one of their fat porters in their hall at Pall-mall than they
do to a company of men. Who does not recol.kct the puny
minkle at the Knightsbridge Barracks (only lately dis-
continued)? The poorest cabin in the neighbourhood
was better supplied. Can it be wonder( dat that soldiers
will patronise the well-tit gin palaces, when so little at-
tention is used to keep them in barracks.
ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.—Captain Townsend, bar-
rack-master at Liverpool, has been appointed barrack-
master at Londonderry, Lifford, Omagh, &c., in succes-
sion to Lieutenant Sir H. Oakes, Bart., &mated.
MEDICAL STAFF.—Assistant Surgeon W. S. Saun-
ders, M.D., hr.s been appoined to do duty at the Military
Prison, Fort Clarenc Chatham, vice Dr. Cleland, pro-
moted to the 69th Regiment.
MILITARY EDUCATION.—The officers and Don-cem-
missioned officers of the 28th, 60th, and 81:d Regiments
will shortly be assembled together, for the purpose of
being catechised and questioned on drill and details of
the service, in the presence of Major-General Lord
Frederick rite-Clareuce, G.C.8., commanding the dia.
trict.

PROMOTION FROM THE RANKS.—We observe, with
much satisfaction, that Sergeant Major W. Dowler, of the
61st regiment, has been promoted to an Ensigricy in the
regiment. This is the fifth instance of Li similar promotion
in that distinguished corps during the past nine 3 ears ;
Lieuts. A. Grant, David Reid, and Stephen M‘Donough,
and Quartermaster Wall, of the 61st regiment, having all
served in the ranks. This says much, not only fur the
excellent government to which the regiment has been
subject, but fur the system of proniction from the ranks
The corps, well officered as it now is, has been con-
spicuous fur its good service throughout the late cam-
puigns in the Punjaub, and none of the gallant
brotherhood appear to have rendered themselves,
more remarkable for their soldier-like merit than
the sergeant-major whose promotion we record. The late
lieutenant-colonels A-.'Leod and Burnside seem to
to have hae a very high opieion of Mr. Duwler, and lieu-
tenant Colonel Junes, in recommending him for a com-
mission, speaks of him as a man of irreproachable
character, and a meritorious nen-commissioned officer.
It may not be uninteresting to add, that when the 61st
Regiment were on the march, some few miles from
Lord Gough's camp, after the Punjaub campaign, his
Lordship rode cut a distance of six or seven miles to say
" Good-bye " to the corps, and to express to the men
and officers the very high estimation in which he held
them.

GREAT Less OF LIFE ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S
SHIP MEANDER.—We regret to state that the
Meander, 44, Captain the Honourable H. Keppel
(arrived at Valparaiso from Sydney), has lost in
the last twelve months her surgeon, Dr. Clarke, and
upwards of sixty of her crew. It will be recollected
that this ship was ordered last year from Singapore to
Sydney, and thence to Port Essington, to break up the
Admiralty establishment there, and to withdraw the de-
tachment of Marines. She proceeded thither and exe-
cuted her orders, and, having shipped the Marines on
board the Rattlesnake, for England, saiied for Valpa-
raiso, arriving there on the 23d of August, visiting en
route New Zealand, the Friendly and the Society Islands.
Dr. Clarke died at Port Essington, and Mr. Crawford,
who was in charge of the Marine Detachment there, was
appointed to the vacancy.

PRUSSIAN PROPOSALS TO

presented in that assembly, and by its plenipotentiary
taken part in its deliberations and resolutions. On a
nearer consideration of the question, however, the
Danish Government must see that while this method
of procedure may well suffice for the ratification of
the treaty, as far asthose Governments represented at
Frankfurt are concerned, it can lead to nothing more.
The Germanic confederation is neither legally nor
actually represented at Frankfort. The legal repre-
sentation is contested by us on convincing grounds,
and the opposite assertion cannot make the "reacti-
vated Diet" a universally acknowledged organ of the
confederation. That the plenipotentiaries united at
Frankfurt actually represent but the minority of the
German governments, and that such minority does not
constitute the totality of the Germanic confederation,
is beyond all doubt. Any resolutions of the Vrank-
fort convention which would assert a federal autho-
rity in respect of the duchies, will be unconditionally
repudiated by us; and since we cannot allow the
action in Germany of a federal organ unacknowledged
by us, so would every measure of the Frankfort As-
sembly inevitably call forth actual counter measures
on our part. We will not tolerate any military in-
tervention which may be resolved on there.
The more necessarily this resolution proceeds out
of the rights which we hold fast, the duties which we
are bound to fulfil, the more strongly must we point
out to the royal Danish government that any further
steps to procure the intervention of the so called Diet
for the purpose of reifying the Duchies would fail
of their end, and would probably rather lead to a war
which would overrun the borders of Denmark and
the Duchies, without in anywise drawing off the war
from that territory.

This being evident, it may be expected that the
Copenhagen Cabinet will no longer delay a step to-
wards entering upon another way to a settlement.
We have now several times declared that during
the continuance of the German constitutional crisis,
the right to transact federal affairs, not within the
competence of the Central Commission, belongs only
to the members of the confederation themselves, and
that under such circumstances prompt action is only
practicable by the joint action of Prussia and Austria
acting in the name of and commissioned by all the
other Garman Governments.

This principle is wholly applicable to the Schleswig
Holstein question.
If; as necessity requires, this question is to be dealt
with promptly, then, laying aside all qustions of a
revision of the federal constitution, a special commis-
sion ad hoc might be formed. . .

DENMARK.

Should the royal Danish Government admit the
expediency of this course, the only one which could
tend to a successful result; it would also perceive that
the next step to be taken must be to propose such a
commission to the court of Vienna. According to
our views, a federal commission appointed by Prussia
and Austria to meet in Hamburgh or other suitable
town, might meet a plenipotentiary of the King of
Denmark to fix upon a mode of executing article 4
of the treaty, to consider in common deliberation the
means of a right and enduring pacification of the
Duchies, and lay before their Governments proposals
upon further questions which might arise.

WHITEHALL, OCT. 21.
The Lord Chancellor has appointed William Gilbert-
eon, of Preston, in the county palatine of Lancaster,
Gent., to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court
of Chancery.

As your Exellency will perceive by my accom-
panying communication of this date, the moment has
now arrived when the long-delayed ratification of the
treaty of July 2 must be considered as having taken
place. On this account Ido nut hesitate to make the
following statement to your Excellency on the affairs
of Schleswig-Holstein.
What we desire and long for in this affair is the
termination of the calamities which have so long
vexed Denmark and Schleswig Holstin, and menaced
the peace of Germany and Europe.
We have no other wish and no other interest in
this matter than the effectual and permanent restora-
tion of peaceful and prosperous relations between the
Crown of Denmark and the Duchies, and not a
hollow peace which must be followed by new discord.
Our wishes will be completely gained, our interests
fully satisfied, if in respect of the reconstruction of
those relations, and also of the question of succession,
all rightful claims, and especially the rights of the
Germanic confederation reserved by us, shall find full
acknowledgment.
Other than this, the Royal Government, we are
persuaded, cannot wish or need. We therefore do
not doubt, that under all our views of these objects,
the means of attaining them will be found without
difficulty.

According to Art. IV. of the treaty, the Royal
Danish Government will have to apply first of all to
the Germanic Confederation, and such is, no doubt,
its intention, since it certainly cAnnot desire to involve
itself in the heavy responsibilities of a violation of
that treaty. It has placed itself, for the purpose of
ratification, in relationship with the representatives
of various Governments assembled at Frankfort-on-
the-Alain, ard, indeed, us having sovereign rights
in Holstein and Lauenberg, has caused itself to be re-
