THE ARMY IN INDIA.

The following general order has been issued by Lord
Frederick Fitzclarence :

" Head-quarters, Mahableshwnr, May 13, 1853.
" By the Commander-in-Chief.

" The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the en-
tire discontinuance of the leather stock in all the Hon.
Company's European regiments under this presidency, and
officers commanding European corps will be pleased ac-
cordingly to carry this order into effect as early as prac-
ticable.

"The collars of the coats and jackets will be hereafter
cut square (the Prussian collar), and made to close in front
with hooks and eyes, and nothing is to be worn inside be-
yond a plain white shirt collar, of sufficient depth to pre-
vent the soiling of the lining of the coat collar, without
being visible above it—a small fly of the collar of the fac-
ings must be placed so as to prevent the shirt being seen
between the hooks and eyes.
"The Commander-in-Chief further directs the entire
discontinuance of the black silk neckerchief, which his
lordship has observed that the soldiers of some European
corps are in the habit of wearing with their white jackets,
and which has never been sanctioned by any competent
authority. The collars of all jackets are to be made to
close in front, in tho same manner as those of the coats.
" The Commander-in-Chief has remarked that the cloth-
ing of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers in gene-
ral is too tightly made and fitted, particularly across the
chest and round the arms—the very portion of a man's
body which requires to be left quite free and easy for those
who are intended to use the firelock, on the offensive or
defensive.

"The trousers in most instances are so absurdly tight
about the waist, and even the hips, that the soldiers can
with difficulty go through the extension motion.
" Commanding officers are sti ictly desired to give their
especial attention to these points at the next issue of
clothing.

"Non-commissioned officers and soldiers will sit down
to their messes with their jackets open. They are to be
permitted to walk about in the immediate vicinity of their
lines or barracks in forage caps with their jackets open ;
but should they proceed into the bazaar, or town, or other
inhabited part of the cantonment, they must wear their
jackets and collars buttoned up. White cap and covers
are to be worn from eight a.m. till five p.m.
" Non-commissioned officers and soldiers, being pro-
hibited from wearing their side-arms when off duty, will
not be required to wear their side-belts on such occasions
for the future.
" The blue calico trousers, barrack change, are to be
worn, as a general rule, on drill parades or fatigue duties,
and on the line of march ; and the officers and men of all
regiments, European and native, are to parade on all occa-
sions in the same coloured trousers—black, white, or blue.

" Now that so much ease is given to the soldier, by re-
lieving him of the stock on parade and on guard, the collar
of the coat or jacket is never to be turned down, except
on the line of march.
