MILITARY COSTUME.

TO _THE EDITOR OF •THE TIMES.

Sir,—Fed* women `who Have ever witnessed afield-4y
in. which the 11th litur,tars have - hbrne a part will easily
erase "from their memories the impreasion produced by the
attire of these 'splendid Jight horsemen. The brevity of
their jackets, the, irrationality of their ihead-gei.r, the in-
credible tightness of their.cherry-coloured pants, altogether
defy description. They must.be seen to be appreciated.
But, sir, 'for war service it is as utterly unfit as would.b..
the garb Of the female Hussars, in the ballet of Gustavus,
which it very nearly resembles.
It would seem, from your columns, 'that the officers are
very' sensibly preparing for war by having the said cherry-
coloured pants reseated with black leather, a wise precau-
tion, which, hoWever, will be more .uSeful than orna-
mental: • • • •

But the privates cafinct'a.lopt this step Without the in-
terference of-the highest nillitary authority, and, as I pet-
ceive he finds time at the present momentous crisis to ex-
perimentalise on the effect of exchanging the blue and
gold trousers of certain other regiments f9r French gray
and yellow; I think it would be for the Advantage of the
country, if-he could be prevailed upon to allow the un-
happy 11th to have the tightness of their nether integu
ments relaxed and their bottoms releathered. • •
Indeed-LI would go even further, and suggest the substi-
tution,of a more 'sober and durable material than cherry-
coloured kerseymere, which effective as it may be in the
Pheenixiiark and on Wimbledon-common, will, I am
ill
with as-
sluedby,those'whaknow the country, assimilate but
with the mud of Debrudscha.
But, as I see that the Earl of Cardigan, the colonel of
the 11th, has not yet departed for the seat of war, it is not
improbable that he may be detained thence by this into-
resting and important question. The swords of the regi-
ment, weicnoir, are sharp. I feel certain that the men
would be able to use them better if their garments Were
not so abominably tight.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

COMMON SENSE.

"'tumour" says that the 11. th are to be embarked in
steamers tend conveyed to Englaml, where they will be
landed, and re-embarked in sailing transports; but I
shuhld lie'ituwoithy ef.My nauiet if I believed, that. - • -

Thdtic, In saluting the, flag of Rear-Atimirslnenderson,
onits being transferred to the Madagascar at Rio on the
I.4th ult., the charge of one'of the Centaur's guns pre
maturely exploded and blew off the right arms of two
seamen. The poet felloWs are now doing well.
The Centaur steamed into harbour without anchor-
ing at. Spithead, and hauled alongside of the coal-
ing depot to take in fuel, &c. What: necessary repairs
sh:, required were done With the utmost expedition ; she
was revictualled with the utnAofit alacrity by the
authorities of Clarence-yard, and yesterday morning
steamed out of harbour for the Baltic.
Captain E. H. Scott, of the St. Vincent, has resigned
the command, of that :lip, wishing. to retire front active'
service, owing to increasing

screw propeller from an even keel of 1 foot 11 inches•
The wind on her leaving blowing strong from the north-
east, she proceeded under steam power only, and was in
a very- short tim&'hull down. From the various trial's
