MILITARY ARRANGEMENTS.
We noticed yesterday a rumor, which had obtained some currency, to the effect that several regiments of her Majesty's forces were about to he removed from the Colony. We are now in a position to give more accurate information on the subject. It is, we understand, an order from horn ■ that a withdrawal of the troops shall be commenced in January, and shall be gradually carried on until the strength of the force stationed in the Colony shall be brought down to that of one regiment. The regiment appointed to remain is the 18th Royal Irish. The 14th Regiment is to be removed to Melbourne and the rest of the force is to be in England not later than December 31st, 18G5. This arrangement, however, is subject to modification. Should the Colony desire to retain a larger force than one regiment, the Home Government will not, it appears, object to meet our wishes, ou condition that an allowance of <£4o per man be paid for all over the one regiment that is to be stationed in New Zealand. —New Zealander, Aug. 3.
