► ARMY RECRUITING.—The Royal Commissioners
on Army Recruiting reassembled at the War-office yester-
day, and it was arranged that there should be an adjourn-
ment until Tuesday next, when they intend to assemble at
the camp at Aldershot to take any supplementary evidence
that may be considered necessary.

A NEW COLONY.—A Bill before the House of
Commons provideS that the Straits Settlements—that is to
say, the island of Singapore, Prince of Wales's Island, and
Malacca—shall, at a time to be fixed by order in Council,
cease to be part of India ; and her Majesty in Council may
establish laws and constitute courts for the government of
these settlements. This transfer from the Indian to the
Home Administration is made at the desire of the merchants
in the settlements. It will not entail any charge on the
finances of this country—the settlements will be self-sup-
porting. Sir Herculesltobinson was instructed by the late
Duke of Newcastle to report upon the subject of this'
change, and the report, which was made two years ago,
recommends that the throe settlements be incorporated
into one Crown colony, under ono goyernor, with an Exe-
cutive Council, and that for all legislative purposes there
as in Ceylon and Hong-
embers nominated by the
, ntcomposed, o
lie
c enjoinedto Visit Polling and
Malacca for a'certain portion of every year.
