TIM ROYAL DOCKYARD LEIGADE.—The Plymouth
Mail says •.—" The Lords of the Admiralty have signi-
fied to the ununiformed officers and men of the dockyard
battalions that they will not be granted new clothing
this year. Their lordships are determined, it would ap.
tear, that no efforts of theirs shall be wanting to render
this branch of the service as ludicrous as possible in the
sight of the public. The treatment the officers have ex-
perienced from their worthy lords and masters have so
disgusted them, that the majority would'hail the sweep-
ing away of what has been reared to become a nuisance
to them with no little delight. The various dances they
have been compelled to perform since its infancy have
been so numerous that it is with difficulty they can be
remembered. First, minuet—next, polka—and now
quadrilles. What will take place before the " Dead
March" it is impossible to conceive, but we would sug-
gest that whatever is finally intended should, in cons':
deration of the feelings of all concerned, be announced.
forthwith, rather than the farce• of civil soldiering should
continue any longer."
