The progress of Volunteer enrolment continues, the service growing daily
more popular ; and the uniforms of the gallant volunteers are, more or less under cover, gradually becoming rather frequent, improving the aspect of our streets and homes with a picturesque variety. The latest official intelligence is that the War Department has decided upon the general colour of the uniform—grey.
Another official act is the issue of new regulations for the exa- mination of naval cadets, while the examinations for Lieutenants are to be more precise and stringent.
