TO THE EDITOR OT THE 1511 LY TIMES.

STE,—In your impression of this day, I observe a
letter from a member of the new Kilted Volunteer Corps
letter certainly containing very good advice ; but,
unfortnnately, some persons preach that which they do
not practice, as is the case with the members of the new
Highland corps.

Had they been united as at " Prestonpans," there
would have been no new Highland corps. I ask, what
was the;origin of this new corps? Was it not some one
c'r two discontented members of the 71st who, isecause
they were not elected as officers, resigned, and formed a
new corps, and are now (by playing their cards well)
officers. Your correspondent is evidently one of the
rmv members of this new, but as vet unrecognised,
corps. In conclusion, let me remark, what your own
account of the review substantiates, that the 71st High-
land Corps was THE one that caused such admiration.
Trusting that you will find a corner for the above, and
also that this paper war is now finished, I remain, yours,
&c. TRI.TH.
