CLOTHING FOR THE MILITIA. —On the representation
of James Duff, Eiq., M.P. for the County of Banff and
Lord-Lieutenant of Moray, Lord Panmure, the Minister
of War, acquiesced in the arrangement that the Inver-
ness Militia should be named the Highland Light In-
fantry, and should wear trousers of the Fraser pattern.
This is, we believe, the only instance in which such a
charge has been authorised. We understand that Mr.
Macdougall, of the Tartan Warehouse here, is having
manufactured several thousand yards of hunting
Fraser tartan for the officers' and men's trousers.
This patronage of our local manufactures for military
clothing cannot fail in having a happy effect. Mr.
Macdougall has on several occasions supplied some of the
Hon. East India Company's regiments with clothing ;
and now that a beginning has been made by Colonel
Gordon, in the clothing of this smart Highland regiment
with Highland woven stuff, we may yet see Inverness
become noted for the manufacture of regimental tartans,
for which Bannockburn has been so long celebrated. In
addition to the above, Mr. M'D. is having manufactured
here a large quantity of natural brown tweeds for the
English county gaols, and he has just completed a large
order for royal Stewait tartan for the clothing of the
boys and girls in the Royal Caledonian Asylum, London.
It is certainly pleasing to notice the reputation Inverness
is beginning to acquire in the woollen manufacture—a
reputation mainly to be ascribed to the indefatigable en-
terprise of Mr. Macdougall.—lnverness Advertiser.
The Prefect of the Seine and his colleagues of the
municipality of Paris are invited to a grand banquet at
the Mansion-house to-day. • The provincial mayors are
also invited to meet Baron Haussman and friends on 1
this occasion.
PHOTOGRAPHY AT GUILDHALL. —A gentleman from the
London Stereoscope Company, 313, Oxford-street, ob-
tained permission to take some views of Thursday's eery
interesting ceremonial. The seat of operation was op-
posite the grand entrance, and many views were taken
It would be gratifying to flni the sun perpetuating an
event over which be has shed so genial an influence.
Her Majesty's ship Abundance sailed from Deptford,
on Thursday, the 12th inst., for the Crimea, with 19
bakers, including superintendent and foreman, apparatus
with which they can bake 2,000 quarten loaves of bread
in 24 hours, a large cargoof flour and coal, and a supply
of Byricink:a baking pnwilor.
