At a meeting of the officers of the battalion today
(Monday)
a the subject rof &meeting the invitation to
Join the camp in Berkshire was considered. Colonel
Manuel expressed himself very strongly in favour of
sending an affirmative answer, on the groan 1 that it
was necessary tge volunteers should make an eff.rt to
take this special opportunity of gaining that experience
which would render them really efficient in time of
need; and he said he hal such oonfidenoe in the
battalion, that Le was sure when they knew it was his
wish they should attend, they would all endeavour to
do so • lie fully Intended going himself, and hal no
doubt be should be joined by a goodly number of the
Dorset men. It was the unanimous feeling of the
meeting that the battalion should swept the invi•
teflon for eight days. It was thought that about 500 teen
would be able to go, exolusive of offieers. Ai this
will, of course, be in lieu of the county camp, it may
be desirable to state, that going to the Berkshire
camp will be attended with considerable expense to
the battalion, and it is to be hoped that all who wish
the Dorset volunteers to stand well before the riountry,
will contribute to the camp fund, and thus place Col.
Hansel and the other officer' beyond care in the matter
of money.

Prisoner has boon sent to prison for similar offence at Dor-
chester, Poole. and Wimborne, and was only liberated last
Saturday.
Se said ho was In want, and thought there was no harm in
begging.
Seuteuceil to a month's harl labour.

L—Notise that if a corps is willing to ttend the
/amp, It will not neoeasarily be accepted: indeed, as
there are to be only 5,000 volunteers out of 180,000, the
attendance of not • few will be declined with thanks (or
without them).
2.—Each man must devote not less than eight eon-
secative days to the camp.
3 —Every corps must send at least 50 men.
7. —The feeding is not luxurious; dunks and green
peas are not in the cork, for only 1.36 th of an ounoe of
pepper is allowed. "Vegetables" are to be had at
market. with other et cetera..

B.—Each regiment Must take its own cart.

the military authorities, but at any rate that is not
civil English, and we would commend them to the study
of Latin proems', amid to a leas reckless use of them.
ll.—Here we get on better. The Government is good
enough to sell the devoted volunteers • canvas bag for
Is 2ii. The details as to the artistes to be carried in
it are so exquisitely droll that we must ask our readers
again to peruse the list quoted above. Fancy, "shirt,

the familiar garment weigh wetly the odd baif ounce?
"comb, and "2 brushea, 7cw." The
half-ounce comb la a cheerful stipulation, but what
about the two brushes? A tooth-brush U. of swum,
euential, and we suppose a hairbrush is. Then what's
to be done for a shaving-brush, and a boot brush, for
the "box of grease or blacking" seems to indicate the
latter as • necessity. To shave with your tooth brash
would be odd to say the least, and brushing your hair
with what you had jut used for blacking your boots
does not commend itself to the imagination. Evidently
the brushes will have • difficult time of it to dia.

"housewife, Sax." Surely the Government don't
wish to make gime of the Volunteers. Is
It a misprint for 13 stone; for that's the weight
of about the only "housewife" we have any knowledge
of. The Government " hoasewife" is • very ethereal
personage; but that we should hive imagined from •
omaideration of the domestic details, we are now re-
viewing ; but 3os. I who ever heard of such • wife.
Why list week the Marlborough street magistrate was
settling a ease concerning • 41 stone housewife that •
cabman would not take fur fear of breaking down his
vehicle. . . ' At I can it be? Is this "house-
wife" we are to take In a 041111411 bag, one of those
"ladies' companion" sort of things—phis and needles,
cotton, dia.—you know It must b); so that the
volunteers, bachelors all, may sew on their own buttons,
mend their pants, and do all snob things as are now
done for them in some mysterious manner and at an
equally mysterious time. Well, well : perhaps three
ounces of that would suffix. Then lbs. 3w, of boots
are specified. That don't seem much, and probably
would not allow of more than half-a-dozen pairs fit for
wear when marching—we should think not. Perhaps
somebody will lave:midget.° the matter, and let us
know.

12. —The officers are lintel', provided for. "1
woollen night-cap"—whisky hot we believe is now more
fashionable, and more pleasant withal; 1 tin of dabbing

anti they'll take cognizance of this paragraph. Twelve

will be given, and of course the eight biggest men will
have 'em —the other four can practise roosting. For
'pillow, the 31bs. 3oz. of boots suggests itself. Evidently
the sleeping arrangements will be excruciating.
14 —Corps not having water bottles will he served

liquor 'direct from the wood 1" We hope the "brand"
will be all right.
18.—Volunteers mask fatigue, cook, As to the
cooking, we fear the majority of them can make no-
thing but "hash," and so cooking might get into
trouble with their oomrades. Perhaps between now
and September 1101113 of teem will tak3 a turn in their
own kitchens. with • view to the "goo 1 time rooming

So mush for the War Odiao. These regulations don't
kO3lll very oonsiderate for volunteera, but they are not—
the Dorset battalion, at least—men to be daunted by a
little official perversity. Colonel Hansel. with his
experience of setups in Dorset, eould have put them
in the way of more practicable and eo daily goad arrange.
moats; bat the gallant officer mixer the War Office
commands smiling, He hss convened a meeting of the
offieers to-day (Idonday) to consider the matter, and
asks officers of 'tarps to ascertain the views of their carps
respecting attending. As the circular was only issued
on Saturday, that seems impossible', though, perhaps,
the officers know enough of their men to say whether
they can fulfil the requirem nits of the authorities. As
to their willingness to do what is demanded there ca
be no question; but the prasticabiiity of it is a serious
poiut. Colonel Memel is desirous that the battalion
should join this setup, and probably they may. unless
the Government intentionally issues such orders as to
render compliance impossible.
