THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding-
in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards at
one o'clock on Thursday, the 20th inst.
From information obtained at Chatham yester-
day, it appears to be uncertain whether the troops
composing that garrison will take part in the bat-
talion movements to be undertaken by the London
Rifle Brigade on Chatham Lines on Saturday after-
noon next, preparatory to the review of the brigade
in Hyde Park on the following Saturday by the
Duke of Cambridge.
The depot of the Ist battalion of the 20th Regi-
ment at Chatham, being above its required
strength, volunteering has been opened for the 2d
battalion of the same regiment. Immediately after
it was announced that volunteering would be
allowed, a large number of men offered themselves
for the 2d battalion, but only 27 of the number were
accepted. Each of the volunteers receives one
sovereign. They will proceed to join the 2d bat-
talion at Aldershott on Friday next. Volunteering
from several other of the Indian depots at Chathain,
which are above their proper numbers, has also
been opened.
The following officers and troops belonging to
the three battalions of infantry at Chatham garri-
son have been placed under orders to embark for
India to join the service companies of their respec-
tive regiments in the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay
Presidencies, as soon as the necessary amount of
tonnage has been taken up for them by the Coun-
