expression of approval; end many spectators, whose
opinions he velum, have also expressed to him their
admiration of the appearance and work of the battalion.
The Ahern of companies paid great attention to the
welfare, not only of men belonging to their own, but
also of thine attached from other omits, and he was
glad to observe a 0011814'nel:0e improvement In their
intelligence in field movements, as well ae in their
power of upholding discipline on the march and in @amp.
The nonosommissioned offioers, owing to their weakness
as to nambere. had mush extra duty thrown on them,
which they performed with cheerfulness and efficiency ;
land the rank and file were squall) oheerful in the per-
, formanee of their duty, under ancurnstanows of els-
. @Minable dacomfort sod fatigue. Lieut.-001. Mussel
! thanks the battalion for the exoellenee of the muster,
npecially during the sec ant period, which far exceeded
his expectations, and he offers his warm acknowledg-
ment, to those employer@ of labour, with -!ut whose co-
operation in permitting their men to attend, snob •
satisfactory result could not have been attained. The
nature of the movements we. not riondooive to that
steadiness in drlll, which Lkent,Colonel ilanstil is
strongly of opinion ought not to be lost sight of, not-
withstanding the recent changes that hove taken place
In the system ef warfare; but when cinurnstanoes
required it, as on the coo Woo of the marching past at
Blandford Rata Down, and Beacon-hill, the battalion
acquitted itself with credit in this reeve... Llent,Col.

Sergeant Green, orderly.room clerk, and acting Bagle-

Improve their condition in life but lack the means of

we notice with great pleasure especial enterprise of the

tised in another portion of our °Plumes. In order to
set this great and praiseworthy wham° in 'Motion in
this district, Richard Daintree, req., the Agent-General
of the Queensland Government, and Yr. Allen, travell-
ing egret, visited Blandford isat Saturday, to arrange
for any number of migrant@ who might be found de-
'irons to embraoe the opportunity, the government
there having sent instructions to give free passages to
the colony, ealiont any repapacitt of tericarde, to all
eligible persons. There being no obligation on the
emigrant's part after landing, but to do the very best
he caa for his owe good. Work Is plentiful, wages are
good, and food le cheap. Now that work is becoming
.career, and some foramen are discharging surplus
labourers, here is • good opportunity for all without
work to better their position in an English colony. We
would advise all such to apply at ogee to the local
*gent, Mr. Mann. We understand that theme Q
laud ships are fitted up with • patented invention of
Mr. Allen's, whereby every frailly can be separate and
private from all others, a greet help to somfort, decency,

we judge that this present opening Is a genuine and
splendid offer to our labourieg plusses anxious to do
better for themselves and Valet families; for the offer
includes familse however large, If suitable.
