IMPERIAL COMMISSIONS.
WELLINGTON, February 20. A despatch published in to-night's Gazette states that in view of the fact that at present the Only Militia in New Zealand is the Permanent Militia, a candidate for a commission in the British army_ must have berved not kse than two years in the active defence forces of the Dominion, and have carried out the camp attendances and drills prescribed in the regulations for those forces. This, with two months' attachment to the permanent Militia, may be accepted as equivalent to the qualifications laid down in the regulations under which commissions in the British army may be obtained by officers of colonial military forces.
