MILITARY.
NEW WAISTBELTE, dint., FOR inn ARlEL—Various im
provements have just been made, under the immediate direc-
tion* of Major. ONE Brown, C. 8., the deputy-adjutant-
/eared of the forces, by Messrs. W. and G. Almond, Old
Bend street, for the convenience of soldiers. One of the
erosa-belts is to be discontinued, and, instead, a waistbelt is
to be WOVE. This novelty will enable the nidier on the
march to relieve the should r from the weight of a pouch full
,l ammunition, and shift the same more to the waist. The
waist-belt is to fasten in the event with a brass plant. The
hog for the bayonet is attached to this waist-belt and so ad-
ios ed, by a peculiar mode, as to suit the size of the wearer.
Patterns of these alterations are to be placed at the Military
ClAkin; Board, Whitehall, by which future supplies for the
army are to be compared.
