THE ARMY AN]) NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—We are enabled to an-
nounce, from an authentic source, that the following will
be the head-quarters of the several infantry regiments
and depots during the present year, and that the moves
will commence early in April:—
Regiments-Ist Foot, 2d battalion, from Dublin to
Limerick; 2d, from Dublin to Newry • 3d, from Limerick
to Galway; 9th, from Newry to Dublin; 31st, from Ath-
lone to Dublin; 35th, from Mullingar to Enniskillen;
40th, to remain for the present at Dublin; 41st, to re-
main at Curk; 43d, from Kilkenny to Dublin; 47th, to
remain for the present at Buttevant ; 48th, from Dublin
to Athlone; 49th, from Templemore to Fermoy; 55th,
from Dublin to Waterford; 57th. from Enniskillen to
Dublin; 60th, 2d battalion, from Dublin to Templemore;
68th, from Galway to Limerick; 71st, Ist battalion,
from Naas to Dublin; 74th, from Limerick to Clonmel;
85tb, from Waterford to Mullingar; 89th, to remain for
the present at Birr; 92d, from Clonmel to Kilkenny.
Depots-6th Foot, from Fenno)? to Templemore;
19th, from Mullingar to Naas; 34th, from Boyle to Lon.
donderry; 38th, from Castlebar to Nenagh; 59th, from
Fermoy to Tralee; 66th, from Tralee to Youghal; 73d,
from Templemore to Boyle; 79th, from Nenagh to Kin-
sale; 88th, from Kinsale to Castlebar.
CANDIDATES FOR COMMISSIONS.—We understand
that the sum granted by the Secretary-at-War to corer
the whole expense incurred by the new arrangement of
examining the candidates for the Army, will nut exceed
400/. per annum.

SINDE PRIZE MONEY.—The local Government
Bombay, acting under the orders of the Supreme Go•
vernment, have directed the payment of the second dis.
tribution of the Sind° Prize Money to be suspeeded unti
further orders.

JAMAICA.—We regret to hear that, by the last ac-
counts, Major-General Bunbury, K.H., had again been
suffering from intermittent fever. We understand that
the General's son, Captain Bunbury, of the 67th Regi-
ment, is not to continue to hold the two appointments
of Assistant Military Sect etary and Aide-de-Camp.
Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly, of the provisional battalion
at Chatham, will succeed Colonel Weare, as Comman-
dant, and Major Jervis, 72d Highlanders, is to become
the Lieutenant Colonel of the corps.
The appointment of Superintending Officer of the
Cavalry Subdivision of the London District will shortly
become vacant by the promotion of Lieutenant Coolies,
of the 31 Light Dragoons.
We have reason to believe that some vacancies will
shortly occur amongst the Field Officers of the 3d West
India Regimen'.

A fracas of a serious nature has taken place at NasEau
between an officer of the Ist West India Regiment and
an ordnance clerk, and which is likely to result in a
Court-Martial, when some very curious evidence will
transpire.
REWARDS FOR DISTINGUISHED ►SERVICE. A Good
Service Pension of 200/. has just been conferred on Ma-
jor-General James C-rant, and the pension of 1504 per
annum, seine time since awarded to Major-Generals
Geo. Aug. Henderson and Roger Parke, have been aug-
mented to 2001. each. A glance at the roll of the ser-
vices cf these officers will show that they are every way
deserving of the rewards. Major-Gen. James Grant, C. 8.,
saw service in India (twice), Sicily, the Netherlands,
and Waterloo. Major-General Henderson dates his
active career from the Irish rebellion. He was after-
wards at the Helder, in Egypt, with Abercromby, in
Portugal with Moore, and followed the Duke's fortunes
from 1811 to 1814. Major-General Parke btars the
war medal with a clasp for Albuera—was present at
Busaco, distinguished himself at Campo Mayor nod
Arroyo de Molino. Previous to the Peninsular war he
served in the West Indies and Naples.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.)

An average smount of business has been transacted
this week, and the accounts from the mines generally
are of a most cheering character.
In Devon Great Consols several shares have changed
hands at an advanced price. Treviskey and Barrier
have been in demand, and business done at a consider.
able advance, arising from some very important improve..
ment.

Condurrow, East Pool, South Basset, and South Tol-
gus, have also been in request. Herudsfoot is repre-
sented to have improved, especially in the 94 north, and
the 82 south.

There has been an inquiry for Tincroft, and several
shares have changed hands at an advance. Since last
week's report a very important and valuable discovery
has been made ; in driving a cross-cut north from the
80 fm. level, they have intersected a new lode (now
called Grant's lode), and from the last account they have
driven five feet into it, and no appearance of the north
wall. The lode is estimated as worth from 504 to 601.
per fn. A cross-cut has also been commenced in the
70, to intersect it at that point. At North Tincroft en-
gine-shaft, sinking under the 100 fin. level, the lode is
7ft. wide, worth 351 per fin. Other parts of the mine
continue productive.
hi Great Rough Tor Consols an important improve-
ment has taken place; in driving a cross-cut in the 45
fm. level east, they have intersected a large and produc-
tive lode, having every appearance of further improve.
ment.

Among the several improving mines in Wales we may
notice Esgair Dee, Daten, Court Grange, Llwynmalees,
East Dares, &c.; and we learn that Penybank and Erg-
lodd Mines have been taken up by an influential com-
pany, with a view of working spiritedly.
At North Friendship they have discovered a very pro-
ductive lode, now rich for lead; this discovery will prove
highly advantageous for Kingsett and Bedford, as the
lode runs through the latter sett for 400 fms.
At Wheal Comfort meeting a dividend of 3/. per share
was declared.

At South Frances usual bi-monthly meeting a dividend
of 121. l Or. per share was declared for the months of De-
cember and January ; leaving a balance of 1,1581. to
credit of next account. A profit of 1,7751. 10s. was
made on the two months' working; and the mine is re-
presented as being in a highly gratifying position.
The Goginan Mines declared the usual hi-monthly
dividend of 500/. for December and January, being 5/.
per share, payable at the offices of Messrs. John Tay-
lor and Son.

At North Wheal Friendship meeting, the accounts
for three months were audited, and a balance of 126/.
17s. 9d. found in favour of the mine; but in consequence
of some heavy law charges attendant upon the prepara-
tion of the leases, a call of 10s. per share was made, for
paying off the same.

- At East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend of 151. per
share was declared.

Wheal Russell account for three months was held on
the 21st Feb., when a balance of 3361. Is. sd. was shown
against the adventurers, and a call of 10s. per share was
made.

At the East Buller bi-monthly account, a balance of
410/. 3s. Bd. was due to the purser, and a call of 1/. per
share was made.

At the meeting of South Wheal Josiah, the accounts
showed a balance in favour of adventurers (supposing
all calls paid) of only 981. 6s.

At Great Work Meeting, the profit on tho workings
of Oct., Nov., and Dec., allowed a dividend of lot. per
share being declared.

At the fiwynmalees bimonthly meeting, the accounts
showed balance of 1184 in favour of adventurers. The
report from the mine is highly favourable, upwards of
20 tons of lead being ready for sale, and 20 more was
expected to be ready by the first week in Marcb. The
steam-engine will be completed by the Ist May, when
the returns will be considerably increased. An improve-
ment has recently been made by the discovery of a lode
14 in. wide, solid lead.
Snares in the following mines have changed hands ;
since our last:—Devon Great Consols, Treviskey and
Barrier, South Besset, Alfred Consols, Condurrow, Tre-
lawney, South Tolgus, Tincroft, Drako Walls, Pen-'
darves, Penzance Consols, Esgair Llee, Trehane, Tre-
thellan, Mary Ann, Sharp Tor, Damn, West Wheal
Treasury, Gustavus, West Providence, East Buller,
Wheal Henry, Stray Park, Tremayne, Keswick, West
Tolgus, Kirkcudbright, Callington, Herodsfoor, &c.
In Foreign Mines the chief business has been in
United Mexican, Copiapo, St. John del Hey, and Li•
name, in which a fair proportion has been done.
