SPARE NAVAL OFFICERS.
ASKED TO FIND NEW BILLETS. Received May 14, 5.5 p.m. LONDON. May 13. The Admiralty announces that owing to large reductions in the requirements in the personnel for the fleet, and naval establishment gener_ ally, a large surplus of officers exists of certain ranks and seniorities. The total surplus is approximately 1835, of which 1429 belong to the executive branch. The Admiralty hope that all officers in the ranks and seniorities affected, having special chances of settling in civilian life or exceptional opportunity of taking another career, will do so. Should the response to this invitation be insufficient, the requisite number necessary to complete the reduction will be selected and given the alternative of retiring on special terms or being placed on half-pay.
