THE MILITIA.

The first division of t7le P,Pgitnert of K-
litia is appointed to leave Stockport tai-clay for Glo-
cester.

The Northampton Regiment —2O officers and 780
men— will leave Liverpool and arrive at Plymouth
within the next few days.
The Royal Eithorne Light Infantry, Major Pryor
commanding, was paraded at Uxbridge on Monday for
the purpose of ascertaining how many of the men who
had enlisted prior to May, 1854, wished to rotuin
home. Only 50 men came forward to claim this indul-
gence. It is expected that as this regiment is so fast
recruiting, and the field-officers and all the captains are
old line men, it will shortly be ordered to Portsmouth.
The City of London Regiment of Militia, numbering
nearly 600 strong, under the command of Col. Wilson,
alderman, assembled yesterday in the Artillery-ground,
Finsbury. The general order for volunteering for the
Mediterranean was read by the adjutant, after which the
men were addressed by Col. Wilson, who told them it
was entirely optional with them whether they volunteered
or not. Those who tendered their services numbered
more than 150 men.

The West Kent Light Infantry Militia Regiment has
during the past week sustained a very great decrease in
its strength. About 120 men have been re-attested, and
nearly 250 left, but many of them have since returned
and continue coming in fast. The present strength of
the corps is about 400.

The Stirling Militia, Colonel Sir A. a Maitland, are
doing duty at Stirling Castle. The regiment is at pre-
sent 550 strong, and is obtaining recruits at the rate of
50 per week.

The 4Sth Northamptonshire Militia, at present sta-
tioned in the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, are held in
readiness for immediate embarkation for Liverpool, for
further proceeding to Plymouth, there to be quartered.
A considerable number of the Hampshire Artillery
Militia, which recently arrived to do duty at Woolwich,
on Monday, followed the example of some of the militia
corps in the north, and demanded and obtained their
discharges, which they claimed after 56 days' service, in
terms of the act of 1852.
