GOVERNMENT UNIFORM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As the attention of some departments goi
the State has of late been devoted to the subject
the uniform of one branch of his Majesty's serviee'd
trust that the idea which existed some time since,
establishing an uniform for the civil servants of tbne
Crown, will be now revived, and that a regulati%
for giving this distinction to all persons who Ber'e
the Crown will be promulgated. Some people
attempted to throw ridicule over this PrO—it7st
but the arguments in favour of it are so strong'
the subject be once brought fairly before 'lle
1. t
jesty's Government, there can be no question tua.l,
general Measure of this description would be spee°l,4
adopted. The reason of its not having been eirei7
adopted, may, perhaps be, that it has not been t-,e,
duty of any particular department of the State t"
attend to the claims of the civil servants of the Cs2viti.;
Each department, and our whole Government I}4
made up of departments, acts towards the Pets°
employed in civil situations under it as it pleaseg'
and hence there has been no uniformity in the pi
ciple of remuneration, and no distinguishing mar
set upon them. I can see no reason why the
who ably and zealously serves the Crown in a sitar
tion of trust and importance, should not have tir
distinction of wearing some dress descriptive of ht
i
situation, as well as the man who holds a
commission. He is equally a servant of his Majektx,
and, perhaps, renders more effective service to Or
State than many of those who are dressed in "101*:,
and
gold." The subject need only be agitated to 1
and dei 1:
whoasrte hpornouotdiraobf
adopted, and I trust, Mr. Editor, that you will le,

as the civil servants of the Crown.
