THE MILITIA.

In addition to the twenty-eight regiments already
called out, 20 more are t• be embodied immediately, and
with as little delay as possible. These will be selected
from the regiments having the greatest number of men
present at their two years' training. Some twenty thou-
sand are embodied in the twenty-eight regiments -called
out, and about 15,000, it is expected, to the twenty
battalions that are now first for embodiment. So that
hero at once we shall have from 30,000 to 40,000 ready
for home service, and for volunteering into the line. The
rest will follow, as soon as the barrack accommodation
shall be ready, and there are to be found more militia
regiments in sufficient force to be called out. Of course,
the strongest will be taken first, and it will be absurd to
call upon those permanently who cannot make a muster
even at a month's drill. But now that the spirit of the
country is fairly roused, they- will be all prepared and
ready for the call, when it does come. The Lancashire,
Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Essex, and
Devonshire regiments are amongst the strongest, and
first in demand.

The following General Order has been issued from the
Deputy Adjutant-General's Office, Royal Artillery :
"1. The Secretary-at-War having, by circular dated
Oct. 31, 1854, directed that all men who have enlisted into
the army which belong to the militia, contrary to law and
regulation, and who, having been subjected to stoppages
of pay for the same, will be relieved from such stoppages
from and after Oct. 1, 18Z4, and will be allowed to reckon
their service in the army from that date.
"2. And further, that such men as have so enlisted,
who are not known to have belonged to the militia, will,
on declaring themselves, be secured from any further con-
sequence of their offence.
"3. The same is circulated for the information and
guidance of all officers in command of the Royal Artillery-
at home and abroad, who will make it known to the non-
commissioned officers and men under their orders.
"4. Officers commanding troops and companies are imme-
diately to forward to the head-quarters:ofic• at Woolwich,
nominal lists of men who may, in consequence of this
order, now declare themselves to belong to the militia,
from which troop and company list general nominal returns
are to be completed and transmitted to this office.
" 5. As the relief from stoppages of pay is to take effect
'from October 1, 1854, as stated in the first paragraph
hereof, officers commanding troops and companies will
refund to them all moneys so stopped from them subse-
quent to September 30, 1854. They will draw en their
next monthly abstract all sums thus refunded to the men,
fur which credit has been given in the monthly muster-
roll and pay list, in conformity with paragraph 6 of the
circular memorandum from this office, dated May 11, 1854;
a nominal list of such men to accompany the abstract,
showinc, the amount refunded to each, with his receipt
oppositt his name for the sum thus returned to him."

the rev. gentleman concluded by calling upon his hear-
ers to support a charity which was no strange one, but
one which was well known, and entitled to the public
support. At the close of the service 231. wag collected.
