UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.-At the
of the members of this institution, on Monday evenin 'read
subject of tents was brought forward,

not always of the best material ; secondly, that
the calternatesn soaking and drying, whereby they are rotted, and
that by the contraction of both in wet weather, there is a
strain on the tent pegs, by which they are pulled out of the
ground, and thereby rendered less secure during stormy
weather • and, thirdly, the want of ventilation. With
regard io the latter defect, the lecturer adduced evi-
dence from the reports of Sir John. M‘Neill and Colonel
Tulloch, and also from that of the Sanitary ComMisr
sion. Major Rhodes then described his own. forms of h •itch
field, and guard tents, illustrating by models their in.. e of
oonstruction, the ease with which they are pitched, their
commodiousness, and good system of ventilation. IA Con-
clusion he read a few extracts from an official report on the
suitability of his tents as applicable for military purposes,
based on reports of their actual occupation by troops u the
field, granted by his Majesty the King of Hanover. Major
Rhodes has supplied three full-sized trial tents to the fol-
lowing states : England, France, Austria, Prussia, Russia,
Sweden, Belgium, and Hanover. He has received a gold
medal .m his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, in proof
of his Majesty's high approbation of the trial tents for-
warded to him.

A telegram is in town from Bombay four days
later than the advices at present published, stating that
the alteration in the Customs' duties decided upon at Cal-
cutta had already been put in force in that Presidency.
