Sir Colin Campbell, the new Inspector-General of Infantry, began his

labours on Thursday, at Preston, by a minute inspection of the Ninety- seventh Regiment. He was to go from Preston to Dublin. "It is un- derstood that Sir Colin Campbell is prosecuting these inquiries with a view to the preparation of a report upon the battalion system, and to the recommendation, if deemed advisable, of fixed training-schools in various parts of the kingdom for officers and men."
