THE ARMY.

Yesterday the hired _East India troopship Ber-
_wickshire, 1,100 tons, Commander J. Belk, which
arrived at Gravesend from Bombay the previous
day with a large party of sick and wounded officers
and men belonging to various cavalry and infantry
regiments in India, landed her troops at Custom-
house Quay, in order that they may be forwarded
to Fort Pitt, Hospital, Chatham.
The non-commissioned officers and men of the
Royal Engineers who have been selected from the
companies now at head-quarters, Chatham, to form
the surveying expedition about to start for British
Columbia will embark at Southampton this day
and proceed to their destination by the overland
route, via Panama. Very little of the equipment
for the expedition has been forwarded from the
Royal Engineers' stores at:Chatham, the supplies
necessary to be taken out being furnished the men
at Southampton, where everything relating to the
expedition will be shipped. The Royal Engineers
selected for this particular service are the very best
that can be obtained from the corps, both as re-
gards their ability and general character, the
service on which they will be employed being
as important as it is arduous. In consideration
of the nature of the duties in which they will be
employed the Government has given the members of
the expedition an exceedingly liberal scale of pay,
each man receiving ss. a day above his regimental
pay, in addition to which they will receive free ra-
tions and tobacco all the time they are absent from
England. Each man is also furnished with a com-
plete outfit, and while he is employed on the survey
all his clothing will be supplied him. The expedi-
tion includes some of the first surveyors in the corps
of Royal Sappers and Miners, besides draughts-
men, photographers, and men acquainted with every
description of handicraft. A supply of the newest
and most costly apparatus for use in the various
branches of the survey will also be taken out by the
expedition. As the men will be during a consider-
able portion of the year far removed from any habi-
tation, each man will be supplied with a six-bar-
relled revolver, together with a waterproof sheet to
sleep upon, portable waterproof tents, india-rubber
boots, wading boots, and every other requisite. The
detachment proceeds to British Colombia in charge
of Lieut. Anderson. Previously to the expedition
leavinc? Chatham it was inspected by Col. Sandham,
Director of the Royal Engineer establishment, who
in taking leave of the men expressed to them the
hope that they would persevere in the duties they
would be called upon to perform, and endeavour to
do their duty in whatever situation they might find
themselves placed.
A letter from Quebec states that orders have been
received from the military authorities to hold the
39th Regiment in readiness to embark for Bermuda,
upon the arrival of her Majesty's. ship Himalaya,
and that the 17th Regiment will be prepared to re-
move to Quebec, to take the place of the 39th Regi-
ment. It is also stated that the headquarters and two
companies of the Royal Canadian Rifles will be
ready to proceed from Toronto to Montreal) to be
stationed there ; and that a company of the Royal
Canadian Rifles, at present stationed in that city,
will join the head-quarters of the regiment at
Montreal.

HER 11f4TESTY'S VISIt'.TO LOCH

KATRINE.

In a recent number we indicated the line of her
Majesty's route from Edinburgh via Callender and
the Trossachs to Loch-. Katrine on the 14th Oct.
On entering the lands of Lord and'Lady Willoughby-
D'Eresby, her Majesty will be received by his lord-
ship, and conducted by him through the Trossachs
to the loch. His lordship has entered into the
arrangements with great spirit, and from all that
we can learn nothing will be wanting on his part
to give her Majesty a most cordial welcome on her
first appearance in this " interesting portion of her
dominions. We do not by any means speak autho-
ritatively as to the arrangements of the commis-
sioners, but so far as we have ascertained it is not
unlikely they will be something like the following :
—The commissioners' party, including of course all
the members of council, with their ladies, in addition
to ladies and gentlemen who will be specially in-
vited, numbering in all 250, or a little beyond
it, will set out for Glasgow at 7 a.m. by
special train for Balloch, at the foot of Loch
Lomond. Here they will embark on board
a special steamer, and after taking up the
Duke and Duchess of Montrose at Balmaha, they
will sail up to Inversnaid, where they will disem-
bark. At this point, as many conveyances as pos-
sible will be mustered to carry the ladies, the aged,
and possibly the lazy, over the hills to Stronachla-
cher, at the head of Loch Katrinc ; but of course
it will be expected that the young and active should
link along on foot. From Stronachlacher, the
members of the party will find their way to the
Blairhulachan tunnel (a distance of about two
miles), at which point the waters are to be let on,
either by boat or by walking along the foot-road
down the side of the loch. On the hillside, imme-
diately above the platform over the tunnel, a
gal-
lery will be erected from which the company will
be able to witness all that takes place below. At
this platform, which rises right from the margin of
the loch, her Majesty will land from the Rob Roy
steamer, descend to the mouth of the tunnel, if she
feels disposed, and then perform the operation
(which, we believe, will be a very easy one), by
which the waters will flow through the hillside,
and thence career onwards to Glasgow. Her Ma-
jesty and suite will then take refreshments in the
commissioners' cottage, and afterwards return by
the Trossachs and Callander route. Meanwhile the
party of the commissioners will have lunch in a
pavilion erected for the purpose, and then set
out for Glasgow the way they came. We cannot
yet speak of the points at which the Volunteers
will be placed, for we believe the military ar-
rangements are not yet complete. As to the mem-
bers of the general public who may choose to be
present, they must—considering that they are be-
yond the region of railways and steamers—accommo-
date themselves on the hillside as well as they can,
and get there and back as best they may. We
do not yet know whether the Lord Provost will
have the honour of receiving her Majesty on board.
the Rob Roy at the Trossachs or at the platform at
the mouth of the tunnel. We need not speculate
on the event ; the weather must decide whether it
is to be gay and lightsome or the reverse.—Glas-
, gore Herald.
