THE AR

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 companies 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 the 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
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who are thus withdrawn from their usual military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 character will be allowed to go.
The introduction into the - departments of Wool-
wich Arsenal of the system of " piece-work, to
supersede the present general regulation of" time,"
having been repeatedly proposed 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. IRO 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
thioughout 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 conc!usion 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 emiduct of the men has
bees 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

POISONED uHEESE.—Several 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
facts were stated thought, as no suspicion attached to any
parties, no useful 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 same description.
