§ CAPTAIN DAWSON-DAMERasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he has taken into consideration the urgency of forming a second Arsenal in a central position in England, such as Cannock Chase, abounding in coal; and, whether all Volunteers, with the exception of the Artillery corps should be clothed in scarlet?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that the subject of the formation of a second central arsenal had long been under the consideration of the Government, but that no proposal for the creation of such an establishment had yet been adopted, and, therefore, no sums on account of it appeared in the Estimates for the present year. With regard to the clothing of the Volunteers, as he had stated the other evening, that while he thought it desirable there should be uniformity in their dress, it was a matter which was left to be regulated by the Volunteers themselves.
