THE LATE PROMOTIONS.
The whole of the police force take one step forward, on account of the late very liberal brevet.
Sergeant Snooks, of the Royal Heavy Highlows, to be raised to the Light Wellingtons.
Policemen K 482,611, to be restored to the staff by having his staff restored to him, which had been taken from him for misconduct.
Corporal Smuggins, 16th Foot, to be Sergeant by purchase, vice Buggins, arrested for debt.
All the post captains, who were formerly Twopennies, will take the rank of Generals.
In the Thames Navy, 2d mate Simpkins, of the Bachelor, to be 1st mate, vice Phunker, fallen overboard and resigned.
All the men who are above the age of 100, and are in the actual discharge of duty as policemen, are to be immediately superannuated on half-pay—a liberal arrangement, prompted, it is believed, by the birth of the Prince of Wales.
