I wish to avoid any question of controversia charactor, will merely refer to a few points | they occur to me, after the experionan of three seasons, and now that novelty has worn off.
` I.—The Muster Rolls-
(a)-Theas require careful revision, and the names of those members d'ad, or who are known to have left the Colony permanently, should be expunged.

There are two captains and four subalterns on the establishment; cannot a captain be talk off for duty esoh month, with one sinhalter each week in the morth, in their order of souiority? Some strange ment of the kind would, I imagine, be ibnitely prelocable to the present want
