TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

"W. W." mistakes. Our Annals of the Fleet and Army are only occasionally suspended (not discontinued), owing to the pressure of other matter-for instance, the Parliamentary Debates, Estimates, &c.

We really cannot at present give "Miles" a specific reply. The anomalies of which he speaks are merely the result of circumstances, not affecting the statutes of The Order. We could explain the matter, but not in these limits.

"Veritas" will find in the course of our arrangements that we have not overlooked the point he refers to. His enquiries shall be answered, if possible..

"T. B's." statement was correct; but we do not think the illustrious individual

in question needs such a vindication, though well intended.

"A Subscriber" will perceive that we have applied his suggestion to the proper quarter.

The enclosure of "I. B." (Bolton,) from whom we shall at all times be happy to hear, is certainly luxuriant; but if time be not an object, we will try by and by to give it a place.

We shall comply with the request of " A. B." should his communications not be found suitable.

"A Midshipman of the Last Century" is much obliged to " Q in the corner" for his correction courteous, in the March Number of this Journal.
