THE MILITIA.

The 4th Royal Lancashire Light Infantry Regiment
of Militia, now stationed at Berwick-upon-Tweed, and
which has been for some time under orders to embark
for Malta, will not now he sent out until next spring.
We believe, however, that it will shortly be moved from
Berwick, there being only barrack accommodation there
for about 600 men, which obliges nearly an equal number
to be kept in billets. The discipline and soldier-like ap-
pearance of the men in this fine corps—the very first
regiment in the kingdom to offer themselves for foreign
service—reflects great credit on Lieut.-Colonel J. Ire-
land Blackburne, who has been indefatigable in his ex-
ertions to bring it to its present efficient state.
