War-uffice, March 12, 1846.. SIDNEY HERBERT.

TILE MUSEUM') litcors.—The iollowing letter in refer-
ence to the irreguiarities in the enlistment of soldiers serving
in this corps, ionie account of which appeared in our columns
yesterday, has bees, read to the battalions in parade order, at
the St. Xames'a Park and other barracks

" War-office, March, 1F46.
" Sir—l am directed to acquaint you that in every case in
which you may ascertain that the attestation of a soldier
was irregular, you are hereby authorised to assure-the soldier
that upon his consenting to be nov. regularly enlisted and
attested, but without bounty, he will be permitted to reckon
all his former service in precisely the same manner as if the
original attestation had been in all respects regular.
" The soldier must, of course, receive the enlisting shilling
formally.

"You will record this upon his new attestation, and also
upon his record cf service, reference being made to the
number and date, icc., of this letter.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" L. SULIVAN."
The publication of the above letter will, no doubt, have
the effect of quieting the fears of several in tt:e line, to which
the panic has as well extended.
It is but justice to the military authorities to state that
they have done all in their power to meet the wishes of the
men.

The new military prison, at the rear of Charing-cross
13.arracki, is approaching to completion, and may be ready
for the purpose for which it is intended in about two
months.
