THE MILITIA.

The order for the Royal Regiment of the City of Lon-
don Militia to proceed to Deptford has been counter-
manded for the present, and it is believed that the
corps will not take garrison duty until the household
troops and those of the line proeecd to the camp at
Aldershott-heath, when the regiment, mustering GOO
bayonets, will garrison the Tower. The men are drilled
every morning and afternoon in the Artillery-ground,
Finsbury. The regiment will be inspected in a few days
previously to taking garrison duty.
It is expected that the Towcr Hamlets Royal Light
Infantry Regiment of Militia will march from their head-
quarters, Bethnal-green, on Monday or Tuesday next,
to Woolwich, where they will be quartered in the south
wing of the Horse Artillery-square. The regiment will
be drilled daily on the Common, and will take garrison
duty whe❑ the regular troops remove to Aldershett.
The Oxfordshire Militia is still billetted in Oxford,
although the officers and men volunteered for foreign
service long since, the regiment being one of the first in
England to do so.

One of the two-companies of Royal Artillery in Leith
Fort (that of Capt. Travers) having been called to Woo!-
wich, a detachment of about 50 men of the Fife Artillery
Militia, recently embodied, have been sent from Cupar
to Leith Fort. Twenty men of the Forfar Artillery
Artillery have been sent to Fort George, Inverness-shire.
The Royal East Middlesex, Colonel Thomas Wood,
embodied at Hampstead ; the Royal Westminster, Col.
Viscount Chelsea, embodied at Turnhatn-green ; the
Royal Ist Surrey, Col. W. Holme Sumner, embodied at
Richmond ; the 2d Surrey, Col. Lord Lovelace, erabo-
died at Guildford ; the King's Own Tower Hamlets,
Lieut.-Col. Grant, Commandant, embodied at Hackney,
are all under orders to proceed to the encampment at
