the use of the white pipe-clayed cross•belt over the blue regimental
coat, the adoption of a new manufacture, in imitation of leather,
has been approved, which it is expected wiU answer every purpose,
both as regards appearance and durability and a cross belt made
of this material, having been sealed with the seal of this Depart-
ment, has been deposited at the office of Jiilitary Boards for
general guidance.
It is to be understood that the regimental breast plate is to be
worn with the Imitation crisis belt, but the latter is confined to
those occasions when the blot great coat is worn. The black waist

The epaulettes of the King's staff, and of the general staff of the
army are to remain unaltered, with this difference only, that each
Officer is to wear two u in the ease of regimental Officers, the
bullion of which is to correspond with their respective rank.
In future the King's staff, and the staff of the army in general,
will be allowed to wear undress trowsers of the " Oxford mixture,"
with a red stripe down the outward seam.
A pattern of these trowsers has been deposited at the Office of
Military Boards.

A question having arisen as to the amount of the subscriptions to
be paid to regimental mess Mid band funds by married Miters,
Lord Hill desires it may be understood that his Lordship considers
married Officers equally liable with unmarried Officers to the first
subscription to mess and band funds on coming into a corps, or on
'promotion, as well as to the annual contribution to the band ex-
pence', but that his Lordship conceives they should be wholly ex-
empted from the payment of any annual contribution to the mess
supposing such to be required.
