THE ARIIII.

The numerous cavalry and infantry troops,
amounting to several thousand men, who have been
under orders for some time past to embark for
India, for the purpose of filling up vacancies and
augmenting the service eoinpanlis of their respec-
tive regiments, Will not embark during the present
month, the authorities connected with the War
department having decided on despatching them
during tho month of August, for which month the
vessels to be taken up are to be chartered.
The authorities at the Horse Guards, having had
under their consideration for some time past the
urgent necessity which exists for allowing a cer-
tain number of the soldiers' wives to join their hus-
bands in India, now that hostilities are nearly
at an end, have decided an despatching several
thousands of these women to Bengal, Bombay, and
Madras. The women selected will be provided with
a free passage by the Government, and will be sent
out from time to time with the Indian reinforce-
ments proceeding from this country, the first de-
tachment to embark during the ensuing month.
On joining their husbands in India they will be
employed in various duties connected with the re-
giments which are now undertaken by the troops,
who are thus withdrawn from their usual military
duties to the prejudice of the service. In making
the selection none but industrious women and those
of good •chatlicter will be alrowed. to go.
The introduction into the departments of Wool-
wich Ar,,enal of the system of " piece-work," to
supersede the present general regulation of" time,"
haring been repeatedly propos:!.d and rejected by
the authorities as disadvantageous and impractic-
able, the proposition was adopted experimentally
on the 22d of June in one of the shops belonging
to the carriage department, and was ordered to
undergo a fair and impartial trial. 170 carpenters
are employed therein. The system has been con-
tinued, the result of which has been pronounced-
exceedingly satisfactory and encouraging. The
weekly returns exhibit the amount of pay obtained
under the experimental progress as extremely ad-
vantageous to the Government as well as the men,
who are thus earning from 28s. to 38s. per week of
56 hours, as heretofore, while the economy. to Go-
vernment is calculated with certainty at .£5O per
week. The system, it is stated, will be extended
throughout the department in all cases where it
can be satisfactorily applied.
The Royal Ayrshire Rifles completed their 21
days' training on the 20th inst. They were in-
spected by Col. Muller, Acting Commander of the
Forces in Scotland, on the 18th, who minutely ex-
amined the companies, offices, arms, books, &c.
They afterwards marched,.out and we it through a
field day in heavy marching order, marching past
in slow and quick time and in quarter-distance
column. At the conclusion the reviewing officer
expressed to the Commandant his great satisfaction
at the appearance and steadiness of the men under
arms, the accuracy of their parade movements, and
the perfect order of the books. The regiment has
mustered upwards of 600, having 58 absentees
since last training, and the conduct of the men has
been very orderly.

Col. Wilbraham, Assist. Adjut.-Gen. for the nor-
thern district, attended in Preston for the purpose
of inspecting the 3d Lancashire Militia, who com-
plete their 21 days' training on Saturday. The
regiment was under the command of Col. Wilson
Patten, M.P., and was put through a number of
evolutions, which were executed with great preci-
sion and accuracy. After the inspection, Colonel.
Wilbraham addressed the regiment, and stated the
pleasure it gave him to have witnessed the great
efficiency of the Lancashire Militia.
On Tuesday last the Leicestershire Regiment of
Militia was reviewed by Col. -F. Pym Harding,
C. 8., of the 22d Foot. The men went through a
variety of manoeuvres, and finally, being formed in
square, were addressed by Col. Harding, who re-
marked that during this year and last he had
been engaged by command of his Royal Highness
the Commander-in-Chief in inspecting numerous
Militia regiments, but in none had he observed the
same steadiness under arms, precision of movement,
and soldierlike appearance as in the regiment he
had now the pleasure of inspecting. The corps,
now numbering upwards of 900 of all ranks, was
yesterday dismissed, and the inhabitants of Lei-
cester have borne spontaneous testimony to its
conduct.

POISONED CHEESE.—beveral persons in Darling-
ton have had a narrow escape from being poisoned through
eating cheese which, it appears, had become poisonous, not
in consequence of the introduction of any extraneous sub-
stance, but from the spontaneous conversion of the acetic acid
it contained into caseic. The magistrates before whom the
pfaacrttsiews,enreo useful purpose
as no suspicion attached to any
Purpose would be served by an analysis.
They declined, therefore, to make any order, except that the
shopkeeper should be cautioned against selling any more
cheese of the sane description.
