DIRRRTIONIS FROII lire lIAJESTY'd SERVICR.—The re-
turns of deserters from regiments and depdt companies,
and from the navy and marines during the past month,
give the extraordinary large number of 385, which is ex-
cluaive of those who have deserted froin militia regi-
ments. Of the above, 17 are from the household infan-
try, 37 from cavalry regiments, including the military
train ; 54 from the artillery and engineers, 26 from the
navy and Royal Marines, and the balance from infantry
regiments of the line.
THE MILITARY ERODUIL—The Overland Mail brought
dates up to the sth of August, on which day the Bootlegs/
' aortae says :—Taking tip the brief summary in our last
. publication from the point relating to the withdrawal of
I large bodies of soldiers from the European regiments of
the late East India Company, we have now to record that
\
close on 6.000 non have taken their discharges, or are
sure to apply for them under the orders recently issued.
Some of the regiment* are reduced to mere skeletons.
In the 4th Europeans, stationed at Allahabad, about
700 men have chosen to take their discharge. The
proportion of artillerymen who have made the same
choice is still larger. Many have given up ten and
twelve years of military service, which would have gone
far towards completing the period for a pension, The
two troops of the cavalry regiuient at Lucknow have
dwindled down to ten men ; and cavalry officers do not
expect that more than 150 or 200 men per regiment will
remain ; and of the artillery about one-half. In the
2nd Fusiliers, stationed at Delhi, about 450 are about to
leave their honourable employment ; and in the Battery
it is believed that about 20 will be left to perform the
service. About 260 men of the Ist FusiLers the oldest
regiment in the late service—stationed at Ducahai, a
hill station near Simla, have expressed their desire to
take their discharge, and ru ~,,, ur says more will soon
follow their example. The Commander-in-Chief has
called for volunteers to supply the vacancies in the
Bengal Artillery at Cawnpore, caused by the discon-
tented gunners who are taking their diteharge. Men
shove three and under Aix years' service, and above 5
feet 61 itielies in height, and with good character, are
invited to volunteer. The army is "getting smaller by
degrees." mid is gradually melting awly. According
to the following statement from the Friend of faded,
the recorded losses amount to 2,830, bii . no amounts
from half the Bengal, Mad-as, and Bombay armies are
included; and, to make a rough calculatiou, nearly
6.000 men have taken their discharge. Lord Canning,
of course, in giving the men the option of taking their
discharge had no idea that they would avail themaelves
of it to the extent tile,' have done. It seem. it was
calculated that only a portion would go. awl that the
likely oust of leplacing that portion would he £lOO,OOO ;
now six times that amount will not cover the expendi-
ture.
