—Was Orrice, Nov. 30, 1616.—Sir,—I em directed to inform you
that, in consequence of nwrerous applications from pensioners who
are anxious to settle in the colonies, her Majesty's Government pro-
pone authorising the enrolment of a corps of six companies, each con-
sisting of 1 serjeants, 4 corporals, 2 inunrners, and 76 privates, for
settlement in New Zealand, on the conditions hereto annexed. These
conditions you will explain to the pensioners in your district at the
next monthly payment in December, and you must also make them
known as soon as possible, through your out-station serjeants at those
places where the pensioners, being paid quarterly, are not likely to be
visited by you before January next. You will observe that the leading
features of the present arrangement Ls to extend to the colony of New
Zealand the mine principle of defence, by means of armed pensioners,
which has been found to answer so well at home, and by which the old
soldier will be enabled, while no danger threatens, to follow the agri-
cultand or other pursuits to which he has been accustomed in this
country, but in the event of war be will be ready to take the field, and
join the regular force employed for the defence of the colony, receiv-
ing fur such occasional service the high rate of pay authorised for en-
rolled pensioners by the royal warrant of 7th September, 1043. There
is this difference, however, as compared with the arrangements under
which they serve in this country, and which you will be careful to
explain to them, viz., that instead of the pay and enrolment money,
to the extent of about V., which they hare been in the habit of
receiving here annually, they will in New Zealand have a cottage
and an acre of land provided for them on their arrival; the annual
Yalu t of which is much more than equivalent to the money payment
I received for t-e same service in this country, and which cottage and
land will become their own property in perpetuity after seven year. of
their engagement have been completed. By the arriumements which
have been made, coupled with the strict superintendence of the
officers who will be placed over them, it is anticipated that t hmc men
and their families will be relieved from most of the difficulties which
have generally attended settlement in a new colony. They will have
a cottage to enter on, and a small plot of ground available for cultiva-
tion, immediately on their arrival ; they will hare their pensions, as
in this country, to aid in supporting them, end there is every Proba-
bility of their obtaining abundance of labour, at good wages, foe them-
selves and their families; but to prevent any difilmity on that head,
the government will engme to provide labour on the public works at
Is. MI. per day, for each person enrolled on the force during his first
year of residenie in the colony. (Signed) 1.. lictuvan.
To the Staff-Office:of Penmonere.
The remainder of the order, which is long, pointa out the ge-
ner eahinms of the climate, limits the number to be selected
to one
-oneseventh of the whole force, and intimates that pensioners
who are not enrolled will be received, under certain restrictions,
to be mentioned hereafter. A printed code of conditiorus &mom-
paniee the order, which provides a free peonage for the pensioners and
their families, with rations; an advance of three months' pension on
embarkation ; an advance of money for furniture, and other advan-
tage.. A considerable number of pensioners have already offered
themselves.
ROYAL AIMILLIMY.—Forty-two fine young men arrived at Wool-
wich yesterday from Lisburn, in Ireland, as recruits foe the Royal
Artillery. Thirty-two more were at Lisbtun at the time they left.
Lieut. James Clarke, who presides at that station, has sent to head-
quarters upwards of 300 recruits during the prevent year. Among
the recruits that have arrived are many who have been in very respect-
able circumstances; in feet. the general standard of recruits, in a
moral point of view, is far higher than it has been for years past- In
consequence of the ecent augmentation of the Royal Artillery, and
the increase which is still further contemplated of two mpanies to
the strength of each battalion, the accommodation at present furnished
by the Royal Ordnance Hospital has been found insufficient, and a

sew )10%2,i/it for the use of the gentlemen cadets, is to be erected un

Brlghtcm on Monday last, after an ilium of two years. The Domino-

The Leamington Steeple Chases, as we stated yesterday, are post-
poned till Tuesday, the 15th. Bets, we presume, are oft; and it is a
question if the races themselves are not void, unless the engagements
be renewed. The power of postponement from day to day is admitted,
bat It is doubtful If it extends beyond the week fur which the races
were originally made.
