THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette)
GOOD SERVICE REWARDS.—Major-General Alexan-
der Thomson, and Major-General Sir Thomas Browne
K.C.H., have each been appointed to receive 1001. a year,'
in addition to the 1001. a year already in possession, as
rewards for distinguished services.
CoNsiaND OF THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—It iS ru-
moured that an exalted personage has expressed a wish
that his Royal Highness Prince George should succeed to
the Colonelcy of the Coldstream Guards, vacant by the de-
mise of his father the Duke of Cambridge. We heartily
oongratalate that distinguished corps on such an ap-
pointment; and although the Prince is a cavalry officer
he is in every respect an excellent infantry drill. We do
consider that the guards should be commanded by mem-
bers of the Royal Family, towards whom they have
evinced on every occasion strong attachment and fidelity.
In the event of the appointment taking place, the
colonelcy of the 17th Lancers will be at the disposal of
the Commander-in-Chief.

ANOTHER GRAND NIGHT ATTACK AT PORTSMOUTH.
-It is expected that a night attack on this fortress will
take place on an extensive scale, on the occasion of the
presentation of new colours to the 82d Regiment.
The duties of the Brigade-office, at Portsmouth, are
removed to that officer's quarters in High-street during
the repairs which are being effected in the office of the
Lieu tenant-Governor.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—It is confidently reported in
well accredited quarters, that Mr. J. Elliot, the present
storekeeper of Deptford Victualling-yard, will be ap-
pointed to succeed Mr. T. F. Jessep in the stewardship
of Greenwich Hospital, should the illness of the
latter gentleman compel him to retire from
official lifa, aAI that either the senior Clerk
of the above-mentioned establishment, who is an old
and deserving servant, or Mr. Triscott, the Late Agent
Victualler at Bermuda, whose office was abolished in
March last, will be promoted to the vacancy in the for-
mer department, vice Elliot. Such an act of common
justice on the part of Sir Francis Baring will earn for
him as much honour as similar acts did for his much-
lamented predecessor, Lord Auckland, whose good
policy in preferring gentlemen connected with the civil
k service to vacancies in the civil departments as they
occurred
gave great satisfaction to both branches of the
service.
A CAPTURE NO Perm—Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hastings, of the Cyclops, has been recently cast in 5,0001.
damages by the Slave Commissioners on the Coast of
Africa, for illegal detention of a Portuguese ship.
