MILITIA.
THE SUFFOLK ARTILLERY.--From this corps not less
than 200 men have volunteered into the various regi-
ments. It has been found that the encampment at
Landguard Fort has had a most beneficial effect upon
the men. This regiment, we believe, would be quite
ready, if required, to enter upon any new sphere of
duty to which Government may think proper to appoint
them. But it is necessary that the regiment should be
raised to its full complement, and whether this is to be
done by voluntary act or by ballot, is not yet determined
upon. It is stated that there are upwards of 27 parishes
in East Suffolk that have not furnished a single man ;
the question rests principally with the parochial autho-
rities, who may avoid the ballot by a little exertion.—

Ipswich Expreis.
The 4th Lancashire Militia has been summoned to
assemble for permanent duty at Warrington on the 4th
of December. They will, after a short training, pro-
ceed to Edinburgh to relieve the S2d Foot, under orders
for the East. The Hampshire, Wiltshire, 4th Middle-
sex, and Lancaster Militia have just given 500 recruits
to the line and marines, and the Ist Somerset and South
Devon Militia regiments 450 volunteers to the Grena-
dier Guards, tE4, line, and marines.
The Middlesex Yeomanry Cavalry is being increased
to nearly double its farmer number, and within the last
few days a great many volunteers have been declared at
the head-quarters, T.Tabridge,
