" The General Commanding-in-Chief has read with much
pleasure Lieutenant-Colonel Pipon's report of the inspec-
tion he made of the East Kent Militia on Monday, the
19th of March, and I have the honour to request you will
communicate to the regiment his lordship's entire satisfac-
tion at its discipline and efficiency, at the soldier-Hke man-
ner in which it has performed the responsible duties of
the important garrison of Woolwich, and the general good
conduct which has marked its residence there; these re-
sults are most creditable to the manner in which you have
administered the command of your regiment, and the
ai tention to their duties shown by both officers and
'lien-,,

We are requested to state that the first Scotch regi-
ment of Militia which volunteered for foreign service
was not the Renfrew, but the Dumfries, Roxburgh, and
SvP-iirk Regiment, On Saturday last the latter reffi-
nie!.t entlithuastiellly responded to the appeal of its
g.ilant colonel, end at present awaits with eager impa-
tience the answer to the formal offer of its services.
The Duke of Lancaster's own Rifles have had the
option of re-enlisting, and receiving the additional
bJunty of 1/. On FrAay, the regiment, which is on
g,..lrisoa duty at Gia.gow, were informed of the nature
of their position, and the majority irnmedia'6ely re en-
listed. New volunteers alto continue to make their
appearance, so that there is no danger cf this regiment
hen.; weakened.

The Girmarthenshire Rifles have now commenced
their 56 days' drill, and are making progress in the va-
rious exercises. The body is still much below its com-
plement, but it is expected, now that the men are ac-
tually together, that volunteering will become more
brisk.

On Saturday a detachment of the Royal Lancashire
Artillery Militia, consisting of about 120 men, rank and
file, and 22 officers, proceeded to the new battery at the
north end of Huskisson Dock, Liverpool, and were
paced on full garrison duty.
During the past week a considerable portion of the
men belenging to the North Durham Militia, on per-
manent duty in the city of Durham, having obtained in-
formation of the illegality of their being embodied long©r
than a period of 56 days, have held several meetings,
and on Monday there wag some insubordination, which
was silenced by the colonel. But, unexpectedly, on
Wednesday morning, it appearg, an order from the Home-
office to the commander reached Durham, ordering the
immediate dismissal of all those who had enlisted prior to
May, 1854. Accordingly, in the afternoon, the whole
regiment mustered, and those that were not liable to be
further detained, the greater portion of the regiment,
were disbanded. The same feeling has been manifested
at Barnard Castle among the men enlisted under the
Militia Act of 1852.

The Royal Sussex Light Infantry Militia, now between
600 and 700 stron?, were mustered in the Pavilion,
Brighton, on-Wednesday last, in order that the colonel,
the Duke of Richmond, might ask the consent of the
men (enrolled under the act of 1852) to their permanent
einhoditnent. The noble duke addressed them in such
stirring language that, at the close of his address, the
men responded to it by hearty cheers. The result was,
that of the 400 men who might have claimed dismissal
on Saturday as the term of their 56 days' service has
expired, only 150 took that step, and the rest remain
permanently embodied with their comrades who enlisted
under the act of 1854. Even of those 150 it is douLt-
ful if all will carry out their intention.
The 3d Royal Surrey Militia, Colonel-Commandant
C. B. Challoner, are summoned to muster for training
at the head-quarters of the regiment, Kingston-on-
Thames, on Monday, the 23d of April.
On Thursday the Suffolk Artillery, according to the
instructions contained in the circular from the War-
office, were mustered at Ipswich, and the men were told
that they could, if they pleased, re-enrol themselves, or
return home, subject to being called out for 56 days in
any year, according to the original stipulation. Out of
the 140 but 30 will remain, and the whole of the corps
at Landguard Fort, Harwich Redoubt, and those sta-
tioned at Hull Garrison will return to their homes.

It has been decided by the authorities that the Militia
Artillery in Ireland shall be placed wrier the direction
of the Lieutenant-General and Board of Ordnance in the
same manner as the regular Artillery.
A Dublin paper is requested to contradict a previous
statement to the effect that some of the men belonging
to the 3d West York Militia had been demanding their
discharge. There is no truth in the statement,
