Theidintant-General, Sir James Yorke Searlett,
has hinted a circular memorandum dated the 6th inst., of
which the followieg is a copy :—" By the regulations of the
service a soldieris required to keep his cap on in the preemies
of a superior • but, u the contrary wage prevails in civil
life, the General Coramanding-is-Ohief directs that in a
civil court, sod before a magistrate, a soldier, not nadir
arms, shall remove his cep."
THE CHANSLL FLEET. MILFORD HAVEN,
Avourr 17.—The Royal Albert, with the admiral's flag, and
the Edgar, with that of the vice, and eight other vesseliof
the Channel fleet, arrived here this morning at 11 o'clock,
and anchored in line in the Man-of-War's-read off the town
of Milford. The two former are expected to proceed up to
the dockyard the next tide. The men of war in port im-
madlatel7 heisted the Was ensign. The admiral wee saluted
by the Hi.nealm, which was retained by the Royal Albert.
A VoLtorrinit ILECILMENENT. The grmiteet
novelty in connexion with the volunteer movement in this
part of the country is the encampment amongst the sand-
Lille at Crosby, under the personal supervision and command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Bautleld. The men in camp belong
exclusively to the let battalion of Lancashire Miss, the
majority being members of the first company. The tents
were pitched upwards of a fortnight ago, the object being
to inure the volunteers to the hardships of camp life, as well
as to bring them near the shooting ground on the shore,
where they may, by constant practice morning and evening,
learn to become expert marksmen. A rather sheltered site
has been fixed upon amongst the hills, about five minutes'
walk from the railway station, and each tent appears to
have been planted so as to avoid the damp which
accumulates in some parts of the ground. Altogether,
there are 41 tents, including the " canteen establishment,
where refreshments are supplied according to a Axed tariff.
Viewed from the most elevated of the sand-hills the encamp-
ment has rather a picturesque appearance, although the
visitor, on first seeing it, cannot fail to be reminded
of some of those gipsy gatherings that are to be met
with in eastern countries. The "lines" enclosing the
camp are indicated by small flags, inside of which no
volunteer is permit Zed to miter without being in uni-
form. At night sentinels guard the ground by watches,
and in other respects strict military discipline is en-
forced. The men rise at Ave o'clock in the morning,
and then prepare for drill, rifle shooting, skirmishing, de.,
which generally begin at six o'clock. Breakfast is after-
wards bad, and the majority of the volunteers return to
town about nine o'clock to engage in the business of the
day, leaving the torte In charge of a few men and boys,
who attend to the victualling and cleaning departments.
The same routine of training is observed in the eveorag.
On every alternate Wedneidey there is battalion drill,
when the "oempaigninje is enlivened by two or three bands
of music from Liverpool. The tents, on the whole, are
pretty. snug, every care being taken to make them " wee-
ther.tight." In HEM instances small iron bedsteads are
introduced, but the majority of the men sleep on mattrainee
laid on straw. The muskets and the usual accoutrement+
are piled in the centre, while in some instances barrels of
Alleopp's best pale ale and baskets of champagne adorn the
inWor. The " canteen establishment" is large, but still it
is quite inadequate in size to meet the requirements of the
and an enlargement will in consequence be effected.
'The heavy rains have rendered camp life rather dis-
' agreeable, and several of the tents are DOW deserted in con-
, eequesoe • but on the whole the roan have endured expe-
✓tise to wind and rain with an extraordinary amount of
fortitude and perseverenee. Blight colds have =MLA
but these have soon disappeared. The volun
remain at Crosby two or three weeks longer.—Lirerpeol
Mercury.

The same miserable inadequacy of means existed to meet
the demand for ablution, and even for water to drink.
Weah-hand stands could be found by diligent search, but no
water. When water was forthcoming there was no soap;
and as to towels, people accepted their absence as • matter
of course, and supplied their place with pockat•handker-
chiefs. It is of small moment to inquire who was respon-
sible for such mismanagement ; it is quite suficient to
know that large numbers of the excursionists reached home
pretty well disputed with what might have been made the Tor CoirDnerr° CONVICT AT WARWICIL.-.41411
