The subjoined circular memorandum has been issued
to officers commanding regiments and depots at home :
" Horse Guards, Feb. 12.

" The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief having,
in communication with the Secretary of State for War,
decided upon the importance of providing efficient non-
commissioned officers for the Land Transport Corps,
and the Secretary of State hawing authorised the rates
of pay here specified [regimental. serjeant-major, us. per
diem ; troop serjeant-major, 45. ; serjeant, 3s. ; besides
the usual field allowances and free rations allowed by
Government to this carp] to such thoroughly efficient
men as may volunteer for the purpose, is pleased to
direct that the commanding officers of artillery, ca-
valry, and infantry, call immediately upon the non-corn-
miKioned officers and men to volunteer, transmitting
descriptive returns of such as may come forward to the
Adjutant-General. The formation of an efficient Land
Transport Corps is of paramount importance, and com-
manding officers are strictly enjoined not to accept the
services of any but steady, intelligent, and trustworthy
men, although the loss of such may occasion temporary
regimental inconvenience.

"By command,
"G. A. WETIIERALL, Adjutant-General."

the departure of Colonel Wilson Patten without express.

`Colonel Wilson Patten has devoted his time and
energies so unceasingly to the training of his officers and
men, and has shown so good an example in coming out
with his regiment, when from other- duties it could not
have been expected from him, that the Lieutenant-
General Commanding ft-els it incumbent on him to ex-
press his high sense of the service he has rendered to his
Queen and country, and he will not fail to notify to the
Field-Marshal Cominandinin-Chief the favourable opi-
nion he bas formed of Cdonel Weis. n Patten tad the
3.1 Royal Llnca,hire RegiMent.
" 'J. FERGUSSON, Lieutenant-General.'
"The va'uable services of Colonel Wilson Patten,
and the zeal and exertion he has evinced in bringing- his
r,giment to its present high state of di,cipline and efti.
• etency, have been on other occa,ions most favourably
brought to the notice of the Field-Marshal Commanding-
in-Cbi,f, and [di lordslll3
,feels that he can in .no way
hetter mark his approval than by thus promulgating
Lieutenant-General Sir James Fergusson's order, so
cfeditable to Colonel Paten and the militia service.
