REGIMENTAL TITLES.

The Times of Wednesday gave the following :—The
completion of the new organization of the Infantry
being now under the consideration of the War Office
authorities, much interest attaches to the proposal
put forward some four years since by Colonel Stanley's
Committee regarding the conversion of the existing
battalions of the Line and the Militia into "territorial
regiments." We subjoin the new designation sug-
gested by that Committee for each pair of the batta-
lions of the Line which are now linked together under
the localization scheme. The first column indicates
the present number, and the second the proposed new
designation. It may be observed that the title of the
21st Regiment has since been changed from that of
the "Royal North British" to 'Royal Scots'
