THE NEW EDUCATION CODE.

The following circular on the subject of the
revised code of regulatiota recently issued by the Com.
outs* or %Assault has MOD addressed by the r trance Com-
mittee of the National Society to the council, of all the
training institutions in union with the society :
National Society's Office,
Sanctuary, Westminster, S.W., Sept. 28.
Rev. and Dear Sir,—its the revised code of regulations
for the distribution of the parliamentary grant for educa-
tion contains provisious seriously effecting the training in-
stitutions of the country, 1 have been directed by the
Finance Committee of the National Society to request that
you would submit the following questions to the owned of
your college :
1. What changer in the studies of the college will be
rendered neomeary in case the revised code is brought into
operation
2. To what extent is the income of the college likely to
be diminished!

RECRUITS AND THEIR KITS. Royal High-
ness the General Commanding•in-Chief has issued an order
directing that, with reference to his circular memorandum
of the 28th August, it may be understood that recruits join-
ing in the first half of the military year will not be entitled
to the extra issue of boots or trousers until the commence-
ment of the tint military year after their enlistment ; and
that recruita joiniog in the latter half will nut receive the
extra articles until the commencement of the second
military ear after their enlistment. The compensa-
tion articles which make amends for the lose of this boon
are often of indifferent quality—the rutine of quarter-
masters' stores, or accumulations from the kits of soldiers
deceased and deserted. It certainly is a pity that no circular
according a boou to the service ever issues from the Horse
Guards without some unhappy orritiv pens& following it
soon after, much crippling its benefiting action, and scraping
away a good deal of the olt off the gingerbread. So far as
our own experience goes, if there be one time more than
another when a soldier requires a little extra assistance in
his clothing, it is just dung his apprenticeship, when he
goes through the crushing mill of the drill-sergeanta to fine
him down to the finished duty man. At this period ,
he
neither knows how, nor is able, to take care of his clothes •

STRAND.
At this theatre, on Saturday evening, a new
burlesque was produced. Pions of this nature are said to
he only tolerated elsewhere; they are expected and fostered
at thin holm, and they are always eacceasseo. There is,
therefore, no opening for criticism, even if it were appro-
priate or deserved. The burlesques here are of their own
school ; they appeal to no outside standard ; the audiences
delight in them, and the actors seem to like them ; and
this mutual determination to be pleased settles the ques-
tion. Even if there was nothing on the stage to provoke
mirth, a casual visitor might gather infinite amusement
from the way in which the spect•tors, who know their
round and what it produce., dell with owed Mr. H.
J.
Byron 's extravaganzas. They watch for every audacious
pun, so pointedly delivered by the performers, and tint
uttering a loud "Oh !" of incredulity, they bunt into
highly appreciative laughter, while every super-grotesque
situation wins ita reward of hearty mirth. On this occa-
sion all the characteristics of actors and audience were
brought into play by the new piece liy the " old offender," as
he cells himself, Mr. Byron, end which is entitled L'Arntreda,
or Mr Sensation Goat. Every one known the ballet which
Carlotta Grisi and Perrot roads famous, and souse may
have seen ILO acting drama foliated also ova Victor Hugo
a
tale. It is only seminary then to any that to as greet an
extent as in mmpatlible with the exigencies of biolesque,
the story is followed his..

3. From what sources, if any, does the council expect the
deficisucy to be supplied?
The Finance Committee are desirous to obtain full in-
formation as to the probable effect of the new code on the
training institutions in union with the society, preparatory
to the meeting of the tleneral Committee on the ith of
November.—l have the houour to be, rev. and dear sir,
your faithful servant,
Joss SINCLAIR, Treasurer of the National Society.
