officers and men. The 23d company has seen a
great deal of service during the last few years,
having served in the Crimea during nearly the
whole of the Russian campaign, after which it was
ordered to India, where it served during the recent
rebellion, and subsequently proceeded to China,
and was present at the capture of Pekin.

a full parade of the officers and men of the battalion.
The number of prizes taken by the non com-
missioned officers and men of the Chatham division
is 68, but only a portion of that number were deco-
rated yesterday, the remainder being absent from
head-quarters, either serving afloat or on other duty.
The presentation of the prizes was made by Lieut.-
Col. R. J. M'Killop, six men being awarded a gold
badge with crossed muskets to he worn for one year,
the wearer being granted 2d. per day additional
pay during that period; and 22 men receiving a

one penny per day extra pay. The remaining 40
men will be decorated on their return to head-
quarters, a few of them who proved themselves to
be first-class shots receiving an addition of 3d. per
day to their pay.
