VOLUNTIMR KNAPSACK.—We have ream to
believe that the War-oflce authorities have recommended
the Government to supply each volunteer with a knapsack
made aooonling to the pattern used by the Swim Light
Infantry, which more closely resembles ~pedLa's pack than
a soldier's knapsack. it is also recommended that each
volunteer should be supplied with a short waterproof cape.—

THE STE RECHMENT.—Yentertlay's next* pub-
lishes an order forwarded to the India Office 17 his
Excellency the Governor-General of India, in which he
profits by the °coulee of the departure of her Majesty's
Bth (the King's) Regiment of Foot for England to otter to
its officers and men the acknowledgments of th..,govern-
ment of Inas for their services* that country. The Nth
Regiment embarked for India M del, IBA, led, after
merrier for some years in the 7 of Bombay was
tranferred to the Bengal presidency' in December, 1853.
The regiment wee atJullruider in 1857 when the mutiny of
the Bengal army broke out, and did essential service at that
station in resisting and ',neighing the mutineers. It
joined the army before Delhi soon afterwards, and served
with much distinction in the elegy and capture of that for-
a trees. It bore • eoespieuoas part in the complete repulse
given to the forms of the mutineers in their perseverng
sorties, on the 14th, 181 h, wad :tied if July, lir. i 7
and, is the glorious struggle within the city, whick lasted
(or 'is days after it was stormed is Selemaber, the Bth Re-
giment was amongst the foremost in exhibiting Me irre-
sistible effect of the valour and endurance of British
Adder. It subsequently served with the force under his
excellency the commander-In-chief, in the relief of the gar-
tieon of Luck:now, and at Omnivore ; and was subsequently
employed in the final conquest of the provinee of Dude,
and exhibited ice characteristic bravery in the capture of the
town and fort of Sandie. The Govemont:enend begs to
arm% the Bth Regiment of the very high sense entertained
by him of Its services and soldierly conduct. whether in
quarters or in the field, and of the interest which be will
always feel in its future welfare.
MovnteNrc OF WAR VESSELS IN THE MERELY.
—The magnificent maa•of-war Majestic, which has been for
some time lying in the Mersey, is about to leave the port,
having received orders from the Admiralty to be in
readiness to join the Channel fleet in a short time. The
cause of this unexpected order has nut transpired, but it'is
believesl that the vessel's ultimate destination will led China.
The Majestic leaves Liverpool on the 10th of July, will call
round at Torbay, and thee join the Channel Bret. The line-
of-battle ship Flutings, which has been for some time lying
in the Coburg Duck, Liverpool, as a training ship for volun-
teers, will, after a cruise of 24 daya, retain to the Mersey,
and probably take the place of the Majestic.
