Is it an Oversight? The following statement, the authenticity of which we can vouch for, surely calls for
comment,
Two men of the Royal Engineers have for duty in the New Territory, more particularly some time been employed on special survey that poflion lying between Piang Shan, and Taipohu.
They are employed directly under the Colonial Government and before their services can be ob tained by that body the soldiers must be granted a furlough,
Queen's Regulations do not allow a soldier on furiough to take away his curbine, rille or revolver, so these two men have nothing but
the knives and forks with which to defend themselves in case of attack. We are aware that last year when the Government was compelled to engage soldiers as special cons. tables, the men were provided with revolvers. and ammunition by the Colonial Government. Yet while the aspect of affairs is so serious these two men are travelling aldine, unprotected, and unarmed, through a territory which we know, is crowded with gangs of lawless robbers. If regulations ordain that they can Bot have their military weapons with them,
surely the Government can see that precedent suggests that on them should fall the task of arming these two men.

The gentlemen of that nationality imbued, we might say, with that same feeling which predominated in St. Andrew's Hall last night, had met together and discussed the formation of a German Volunteer Corps which, should, emergency arise, could assist or take the place of our own Valunteers. The proposal was in due course submitted to H.I.M. the German Emperor for his approval. His Majesty wired on Monday last that he had great pleasure in approving of it.
