" The collars of the coats and jackets will he hereafter

"The Commander-in• Chief farther directs the mar
discontinuance of the black silk neckerchief, which hi
lordship has ohscrved that the soldiers of some Euroons
corps are in the habit of wearing with their white *kip,
and which has never been sanctioned by auy compete's. u.
thority. The collars of all jackets are to be made to don
in front, in the same mariner as those of the costs.

" The Commander-in-Chief has remarked that the cloth.
ing of the non-coramissioned officers and soldiers in geeng
is too tightly made and fitted, particularly across the dot
and round the arms—the very portion of a man's body
which requires to be left free and easy for those who're
intended to use the firelock, on the offensive or defeasive.
" The trousers in most instances are en absurdly a&
about the waist, and even the hips, that the soldiers tag
with difficulty go through the extension motion.
" Commanding officers are strictly desired to give their
especial attention to these points at the next issue of
clothing.

officers and soldiers will sit &vett
their messes with their jackets open. They are to be per
milted to walk about in the immediate vicinity of their
lines or barracks in forage caps with their jackets open;
but slouu:d they proceed into the bazaar, or town, or other
inhabited part of the cantonment, they must wear their
jackets and collars buttoned up. White cop and covers an
to be worn from eight a.m. till five p.m.
" Non-commissioned officers and soldiers, being pro.
hibited from wearing their side-arms when off duty, Ira
not be required to wear their side- belts on such occsoioce
for the future.

" The blue calico trousers, barrack change, are to
worn, as a general rule, on drill parades or tatigrue dot^
and on the line of march ; and the officers and men of oil
regiments, European and native, are to parade on all cieck
sions in the same coloured trousers—black, white, or blue.
"Now that so much ease is given to the soldier, by re.
lieving him of the stock on parade and on guard, the eol:u
of the coat or jacket is never to be turned down, except to
the line of march."

DEATII OF MR. PENDARVES, M.P.—We regret
to announce that E. W. W. Pendarves, Esq., M.P. for the
Western Division of Cornwall for a long series of years, de-
parted this life on Sunday last, at his seat, neer Cambarm.
It is the general expectation that Michael Williams, Erq..
of Trewince, in Owcatnap, will present himself as a midi-
date for the representation. It is uncertain if a candidate
on the anti-free•trade question will oppose this gentleman.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HITCIIENS.—A public
dinner took place on Thursday, at Tavistock, for the pap
pose of presenting Mr. J. H. Ifitchens, of mining celebrity,
with a piece of plate, of the valne of 6001. The affair was
a very brilliant one, several triumphal arches having bees
erected, and the company enlivened by the cheering mane
of the Royal Marine Band. The testimonial consists of
three splendid candelabra, weighing nearly 1,400 ounce,
manufactured by Messrs. Etkington and Co. The eentrd
candelabra rests on a plateau, representing rugged rock, ott
which are six figures of miners, in three groups, enticingly
employed in operations, with the shovel, pick, and gad,
and blasting ; one of these figures points upwards to the
testimonial itself, and another downwards to an inscription
on a shield on the base, on which also are two others, cos.
taining the Cornish motto, " One and All," and the arms
of Mr. Ilitchens. On the lower branches of the sum ate
two figures representing the arts and sciences. There In
two other candelabra of smaller dimensions, intended foe
the upper and lower ends of the table, also standing m
rocky bases, and ornamented in similar style with mining
emblems; the whole farming beautiful specimens of art,
worthy the object for which it is intended.—An excellent
dinner was provided in the ball room of Northway's Bedford
Hotel, to which upwards of ISO sat down. Mr. H. Peet, of
London, presided and presented the testimonial to Mr.
Hitchens, who having responded in appropriate teems,
various toasts followed, among which were " Success to
Mining and Mining Adventure," " The Committee,"" The
Subscribers" &c., and the meeting broke up.

•
INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETT.-At the annual
general meeting of the Incorporated Law Society, held on
the 21st instant, at their hall in Chancery-lane, a resolution
was passed reducing the admission fee of members to 31.
The fund out of which the ground was purchased and the
building erected was originally raised in shares of 251. each.
Some of the leading members of the profession subscribed
60e1. ; runny 250/., others 1001., and the rest 501. or 25/.
Thus 50,0004 was collected, and a charter obtained in IS3I.
In 1845 a new charter was granted, and the shares of the
members were relinquished, each retaining one as a quali6•
cation. The admission fee of new members was fixed at hit,
and subsequently the country members were admitted for
101. With a view to extend the usefulness of the society,
and bring together a larger proportion of the members of the
profession, the admission fee has now been reduced to 51.
Thus the younger class of practitioners may join the society
and have access to an extensive library, with the right of
attending all the lectures, and of using the hall and officers
and the articled clerks of all the members may be admitted
to the library and lectures for a small annual subscription.
Ten of the 30 members of the council go out of °rhea annu-
ally. The following gentlemen were re•elteted members of
the council William Strickland Cookson, William Lozhara
Ferrer, John Irving Meanie, John Swarbrick Gregory.
George Herbert Kinderley, Germain Lavie, Edw. Leigh
Pemberton, William Sharpe, William Tooke, Edw. Archer
Wilde,—and the following gentlemen were elected auditon.
Stacey Grimaldi, Nathaniel Charles Edwin Ward

TORTURING A CAT.—A aline of cruelty to a cat
came on for hearing before a bench of migistratcs at the
Devonport Guildhall, on Wednesday last. Two parties
were implicated, namely, a lieutenant in h, r Majesty's3sth
Regiment, named 'Myth, and a private in the same corps
named Paul Lancaster. The case hating been brought
under the cognisance of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, they immediately obtained awa rrrr t
against the defendants, and Mr. Rundle, of the firm of
Beer and Rundle, solicitors to the society, appeared fur the
prowcution. From the evidence of a youth named Henry
White, who was passing the barracks on the previous Wed-
nesday morning, at the moment the occurrence took place,
it would appear that he saw two dogs attacking a cat at St.
George's barracks, and the two defendants were look-
ing on and appeared to exceedingly enjoy the sport. After
the dogs had nearly killed the cat, Lancaster took from his
pocket a knife and ran it through the cat's hinder legs, and
skinned it. Witness heard the defendant remark whilst he
was doing it that he never saw a thing so hard to kill in all
his life. After doing so the defendant cut the cat's head
off, and said he was going to take the carcase to the ferrets.
A constable deposed that he found in a stable belonging to
the barracks, in a box where there were ferrets, part of a
cat skinned, and which the ferrets had been eating. Lieut.
Blyth, in defence, said he was attracted in the direction of
the cat and dogs, by hearing a great noise, but denied that
he had urged the dogs to tight. The other defendant did
not deny shinning the cat, but said he did not know who
put the dogs to fight. The cat belonged to him. The
bench, after a short consultation. ordered Blyth to be fined
Os. sad Lancaster 31., and the coots of the court.
