We learn from the Stand«rii, that Sir Hussey Vivian, Master-General

of the Ordnance, has dismissed fifteen senior students from the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, as a punishment for brutal con- duct towards their "fags," and general insubordination. A son of Captain Childs was beaten to such a degree, by a fellow named Maude, that his life was despaired of, and his father removed him from the school.
