REGULATIONS RESPECTING FOREIGN MEDALS.

I. Application for permission to accept and wear
medals which, not being the decoration of any fo-
reign Order, are conferred by a foreign Sovereign
on British subjects in the army or in the navy for
military or for naval services, should be addressed,
as the case may be, to the Commander-in-Chief,
the Master-General of the Ordnance, or the Lords
of the Admiralty, who, if they see fit, may submit
the same to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs for her Majesty's sanction,
upon obtaining which they may grant such permis-
sion without any other formality.
2. Permission to wear a foreign medal cannot be
granted to a British subject unless such medal is
bestowed for military or naval services performed
by the command or with the sanction of her Ma-
jesty. But no permission is necessary for accept-
ing a foreign medal if such medal is not to be worn.

1 THE LATE MILITARY AFFRAY.—Major General Eden
returned to Kilkenny from Clonmel on Friday evening,
having fully investigated the circumstances of an unfor-
tunate affray between the men of the South Tipperary
Artillery and of the depot of the 24 or Queen's Regi-
ment, in that garrison. There are, it appears, six men,
five of whom are soldiers of the 2d, severely hurt
by bayonet wounds received in the affray • but none
of them are considered to be daegerous. The cause of
the affray is stated to have been an idle rumour, which,
having originated in a joke, spiead abroad most
widely, that the men of the 2d had attacked some of
the officers of the militia, and had put one of them.
to death and imprisoned another in the guard-.
house. Absurd as this report was it was believed, in
consequence of the Clonmel people having entertained a
prejudice against the 24 Regiment, from its character
for quarrelling in "Waterford having preceded it to the
former town. General Eden at once removed the depot
from Clonmel, sending one detachment to Fethard and
another to Cashel.
