to express his approval of the high state of discipline at-

tained by the regiment.
The consecration and presentation of colours to the 3d
Royal Surrey Militia took place just before it was dis-
banded. The colours were placed against three drums,
and the Bishop of Winchester, who performed the cere-
mony of consecration, was conducted to the spot by Ad-

presented them. The men were afterwards inspected

The Isle of Wight Artillery Militia has completed its
term of training, and has undergone an inspection by

talion. Ten of the privates who volunteered have been
received into the Royal Artillery. The next meeting of

Government.
The Royal Cornwall Rangers were inspected at Bod-
min, previously to their discharge, by Lieutenant-Co.
