Entish Nee has fallen, chiefly on our north-east coast. At Scar-
borough the demon* amounts to 16 . Preeh winds from the

A non-commissioned officer protests, in the
columns of the TYmes, against the rule requiring troops
serving in the United Kingdom being compelled to wear
the same description of clothing throughout the year, let
the temperature be what it may. To wear the close fit-
ting tunic or jacket during the present hot weather is un-
bearable, and no one who is not absolutely compelled will
move out of barracks to be subjected almost to suffoca-
tion by wearing uniform.

to operations at the iron works near Wolverhampton.

to themselves. Yesterday afternoon a young man was
