The Commander-in-Chief,
HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.
His Majesty has been graciously pleased to approviof the follow-
ing arrangement, with a view to the general efficiency of the Ser-
vice, in the regimental rank of Major and Captain on full pay of
ihe Infantry, and to the advantage and convenience of Officers
who now hold their Regimental Rank with Superior Brevet Rank
in the Army._

Regimental Officers on full pay who hold Brevet Rank in the
Army, superior to their Regimental Rank, shall have the option of
retiring upon an Unattached Commission on Half-pay of the next
effective rank, above that which they bold regimentally, and shall
afterwards be permitted, if they should be so disposed, to avail
themselves of the Regulations of the With April last, by selling
that Unattached Hulf-pay Conimission. •
.•
The actual Regimental CoMmissions, front which the
are thus promoted, are to be in every instance tilled front
the Half-Pay.

The Cornmis4ions of Caplains, by Captains from the Half-Pay,
having no Brevet Rank higher than that of their RegiMental
Commissions. ,

The future claims of OftiCers, retiring to half-pay under this fir-
arangement,'shall, in consideration of their services, not he affect-
ed by such retirement ;--and as the arrangement is made with a
view to the convenience and advantage of the service, they shall
,be considered as standing on tlio.sitnie footing riith respect to pro-

par reduction, or on account of wounds and infirmities.

'Three mouths will be allowed to each individual from the date
on which he accepts the promotion to the regimental rank on half
pay, to enable him to determine whether he is desirous of selling
his commission.

It must he understood that the sale of half-pay commissions
consequent on this measure, is distinct from that allowed by the
regulations of 25th April last, and that the period fixed by those
regulations will not be extended with respect to the individuals to
whom they refer ; also, that no Officer above the age of 60 yeah, '
who shall avail himself of the option of promotion to the higher
regimental rank on half-pay, shall be allowed to dispose of that
half-pay ; certificates of age must therefore, in every case, accom-
pany the aplication to sell. -

first part of this arrangement, Upon the terms specified, will make
application to the Commauder-in-Chiefr through the Military Se-
cretary ;--suelinpplicatlon to be Watt mitred by their- respective

become acqvuilited with the arrangement.
As one of the objects of this arraitgerueot is ft" secure to regi-
Otents the services of effective and efficient Field Officer and Cap-
tains, it is his Majesty's pl6sure that the arrangement, so f»•r as it
provides for the removal of Brevet Officers to Half-pay, with MD-
motion to the Regimental Rank, shall be imperative with those
holding Staff situations, unless they Shall prefer giving up their
Staff situations, and upon this point they are required to make an

terminate at the wrists by old English joints of white satin.--

white satin ribbon, and the gown is made of a proper, yet quite
decorous lowness round the bust, for full dress: The hair is ai•

A Gentleman in Essex having in his orchard many
old supposed worn-out apple trees, which produced
fruit. scarcely larger than a walnut, last winter took
fresh-made lime from the kiln, slacked it with water, and
dressed them well with a brush. The result was that the
insects and moss were completely destroyed, the outer
rind fell off, and a new, smooth, clean, healthy one was
formed ; and the trees, although some of them twenty
years old, have now a most healthy appearance.'
