VOLUNTEER UNIFORM.
Keeping up with the tendencies of the day, Messrs. Silver and Co., have on view at their establishment a pattern Rifle uniform which they propose to furnish to Volunteer corps. The price of the rifle green dress coatee, trousers, forage cap, best silk shako, patent leather cartouche-box, belt and cap pouch, with the usual bronze rifle ornaments, is under M. ;
and the whole uniform is to be commended from its serviceable and mili- tary character, whilst a proper economy is also an elemc it regarded in the arrangements.
On the same premises is a new tent applicable either to v Far purposes, or for the uses of sportsmen in the field, which being bell- shaped has a decided superiority over the ordinary regulation tent. A sp Mlle advan- tage lies also in its means of ventilation through the top, which is con- siderably broader than that in general use, and as the canvass and its cordage are waterproofed, the absorption of moisture causing additional weight to those carrying ;1, is obviated. Major Godfrey Ilhodea, who has been for some time honourably distinguished for improvetnents in this description of camp furniture, is the inventor.
