The Government of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austra, impressed with the importance of extending to that cou n t r y the benefits of joint-stock banking, hay granted to his Ex ce llency the Baron de Thierry a la' ehminary con cession for the establishment of a Bank, with branches throughout the Empire, to be conducted on English banking principles. 2. As an evidence of the wide field open for such an insti tutirm, it may be stated that while England, with a popula tion of 20,000 000, has more th n 1,500 joint-stock banks, in ciuding branches, Austra. k ith a population of 30,000,000, has only five banks, with a very limited number cf branches. 3. The recent ac passed by the Austrian Legislature for the resumption of cash payments on or before theist January, 1-67, is founded on principles Ida; tic il with those governing the Bank of England. This important financial reform, com bined with the great progreks recently made in the constitu tional government of Austria, must pace all commercial operations on a sounder and more stable basis. 4. The vast agricultural and mineral resources of Austria, which become daily more largely dev:loped by the railways already existing, as well as by those in course of completion, and which find a ready market in this country, require bank ing facilities co -extensive with commercial progress. O. The system of banking as known in Great Br,tain and some of the Continental States Is so little in use in Austria that the ordinary practice amongst merchants and others is to keep within their own hands their deposits of bullion and other securities, and each of the Governmental Departments is for the extent of Its own funds its own banker. 0. It Is anticipated that the commercial community will be Induced from the facilities afforded them to deposit with this establishment bullion and securities which they now retain in their own cash-boxes ; and the communications which have passed with the Austrian Government justify the belief that the "Imperia Royal Privileged Union Bank" willbecome the bank. rs for the several State Departments, his Excellency the Minister of Finance having, in reply to the application made for the prliminary concession, stated " l'hat the Government, looking with satisfa tion on the creation of an establishment so beneficial, would afford it every nossible assistance." 7. The statutes of the Bank, which have been Submitted to the Imperial Government, are formed on the established principles of limited liability. 8. The subjoined letter has been this day received' from his Excellency Baron de Thierry, Privy Councillor of hie Imperial Royal Majesty the Emperor of Austria " Ldon 4. 1P63. " have to acknowled ge th e rece i p t o f , the pr M o ay of of finan dal means required for the establishment of the Imperial and Royal Privileged Union Bank of Austria (Limited) you have this day given me for the purpose of placingit in a lega lised form before the Government of his Majesty the Empe ror, my most gracious Soveregn.

More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank has been established in Scotland ; and when the following circumstances are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop. ment during this interval of the resources of the country; the extension of steam and railway communication ; the improved cultivation and value of the land ; the almost wonderful growth of some of the chief cities and towns, in population, wealth, and enterprise ; and the fact that millions pass an nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of the World ; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency of direct banking accommodation between both countries ; it will be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (L mited), and securing it an extensive and profit able business. All financial operations between Scotland and London are transacted through Agencies at considerable expense, time. and trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland Bills in c , rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills drawn upon Great Britain being made payable in London, the grand focus to which the pecuniary transactions of the Empire are ultimately brought to be adjusted. This Company will be enabled to offer very considerable advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical charge for the collection, transmission, and liquidation of bills, money, exchanges, and other business transactions between Scotland and London. The remarkable success attendant upon banking institutions connected with this country, whether for Ireland, the Continent, or the Colonies, proves that an establishment in London facilitates business, whilst large profits are secured. None of the existing Scotch Banks possess this advantage; and the Londcn Bank of Scotland is established to meet so great a monetary desi deratum. As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended banking facilities, it may be also stated, that during the above-mentioned period the external trade of the country has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the Board of Trade show that the exports in the year 1832 amounted to £32,000,000, while in 1861 they reach( d £135,842,817; and that the aggregate value of the imports in the year 1854 (when first ascertained) was X 152,389,053, which in 1859 amounted to £179,182,355. The home trade during the corresponding period developed itself to an extent which it'is almost impossible to compute Regarding these consider tions, and the still rapidly expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, Glas gow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness, Paisley. Stirling, and other important places in Scotland, with London, it has been decided in constituting thisßank to take powers to oxen Branches, as circumstances may warrant, in the above cities and towns, commencing first in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with a Head Office in London. The administrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and its Branches will be superintended by men of sound practi cal, ',commercial, and financial knowledge, whose position and antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and wise management adopted throughout all the details of this Bank.

MAY 11, 1.863 Loss of the Anglo-Saxon Steamship, The steamship Anglo-Saxon, from Liverpool and Londonderry, for Quebec, while in a dense fog, some three miles distant from Cape Race, on the 27th of April, went on shore, and in a short time became a total wreck. Of 444 passengers and crew who were on board 180 have reached land, or been picked up in small boats; the fate of the others is not yet known. Steamers have been despatched to the scene of the disaster, with the hope of res cuing any of the survivors who may have taken to rafts or boats belonging to the steamer, which have not yet been heard from. Among those saved are the Hon. John Young, of Montreal, his wife, and seven children. A despatch from the mail officer, dated the 29th, states that all the mails are lost, and that 237 lives are lost out of a total of 445 souls. The following telegrams contain all the intelli gence received at Boston before the Arabia's depar ture : " St. John's Newfoundland, April 27 (via Port Hood, April 28).—The steamship Anglo-Saxon, from Liverpool 16th inst. and Londonderry 17th, for Portland (or Quebec, should the St. Lawrence be open), was wrecked, it is supposed, about three miles east of Cape Race. Three of her passengers arrived at the Cape Race telegraph station about four o'clock on Monday afternoon. They report that the Anglo-Saxon was broken up and a great number of passengers lost. The crew of the Asso ciated Press news yacht left immediately for the wreck, and will on their return make a full report. A ateamtug has gone down to the wreck." " SECOND DESPATCH. " Pictou, Nova Scotia, April 28.—The steamtug Dauntless picked up two boats' crews of the Anglo- Saxon between Cape Ballard and Cape Race, and is returning without landing at Cape Race. The steamer Bloodhound has gone to Cape Race." " THIRD DESPATCH. " St John's Newfoundland, April 27 (via Port Hood, 28th.)—The Anglo-Saxon had 360 passengers and a ship's crew of 84 men. She was wrecked four miles east of Cape Race on the noon of the 27th, during a dense fog; 73 persons escaped from the wreck by means of ropes and spars, and 24 in two lifeboats. The total number saved is 97. Boats Nos. 4 and 6 have not arrived off the Cape in con sequence of the dense fog, and seven more on a raft are also missing, There is a heavy sea, with a dense fog. " The commander of the Anglo-Saxon is supposed to be among the number drowned. The purser, first and second engineers, and the doctor are among the saved, as also one cabin passenger. Lieutenant Sampson, of the Royal Artillery. The Hon. John Young and family are supposed to be in one of the missing boats. " The deck broke up in about one hour after the Anglo-Saxon struck. Nothing but the mizenmast is standing. Severel persons clung to the fore rig ging until the foremast fell. No assistance could be rendered. Guns are being fired at the Cape to at tract the attention of the missing boats.

The New York journals say The terrible disaster to the Anglo-Saxon would undoubt edly have been avoided but for the unaccountable refusal of the British Government to permit the Associated Press, the New York underwriters, the Transatlantic steam companies, and other parties in New York to place one of Daboll's powerful air trumpets at Cape Race, which could be dis tinctly heard in foggy weather from six to ten miles at sea, and would save millions of property and hundreds of lives.

Admiralty orders have been received for the line of-battle steamers Hood, 79, 600 horse power, and Anson, 81, 800 horse power, belonging to the 2d class Chatham steam reserve, to be completed with all possible despatch for the first division. The paddlewheel steam frigate Valorous, 16, Capt. Forsyth, having embarked supernumeraries for dis tribution among the fleet, left Plymouth, on Friday evening, for the Cape of Good Hope. The amount of subscriptions paid in to the Com mittee of the Orpheus Fund, at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, to this date is, as nearly as possible, £1,500. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, following the example of her Majesty the Queen, has sent to the committee a subscription of £25. The Committee have also received, as the proceeds of Capt.

The Royal paddle yacht Oaborne, Master-Com mander G. K. Bower, is being fitted in :the steam basin at Portsmouth with new wheels, on the patent feathering float principle, by Messrs. Maudslay, Field, and Sons, the manufacturers of her engines. The wheels with which the Osborne was first com missioned as her Majesty's yacht were made for the paddle frigate Firebrand, and the pair with which she is mow fitted are the only pair which have been specially constructed for her. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Al bert, Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince Lei. ningen, refitting at her moorings in Portsmouth harbour, is ordered to be ready for service by the 20th inst., and, it is reported, will then be placed at the disposal of their Royal Highnesses the Prince Louis and Princess Alice of Hesse. The Gunn, 26, screw frigate, Capt. Sir Wm. Wiseman, fitting at Portsmouth for service in the Pacific, is expected to leave Portsmouth harbour, on the completion of her outfit, for Spithead, about the 14th inst., and to sail in a few day afterwards for her destination, The Emerald, 34, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cum ming, on Friday made her fourth experimental screw trial, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth. The ship's draught of water, as nearly as possible, was the same as on the former occasions, being 20ft 9in forward, and 21ft 10in a ft. The wind was at a force of from 2to 3 from the south-east. The screw used on this occasion was one of four blades, the blades being set at equi distant intervals round a Griffith's boss. The mean of six runs made gave the ship a speed of exactly 12 knots, an extremely satisfactory result, and fully confirming those obtained with the same descrip tion of screws in the experimental trials of her Majesty's ship Shannon. In fact, it may be stated, that the four trials of the Emerald confirm the trials made with similar screws in the Shannon, and that so f ar not hi ng has been added to the know ledge expected, w e ho, w alreadyeve thatsses possessed Emerald will conclude I on the subje c t. It is her series of t r i a l s with the leading corners cut off her four and si x -bl aded common screws, and with a two, a three, and a four bladed screw of the Grif fiths pattern. If this course is followed it will ren der the whole series of trials complete and highly valuable, not only to the Royal naval service, but also to the mercantile navy. In making the circles on Friday, at the conclusion of the six runs at the measured mile, th e E mera ld, w i t h th e helm sport, made the circle in 7 min and 9 sec, the angle of the rudder being 131 deg, and revolutions'of the en gines 53. With the helm astarbosrd, a full circle was completed in 8 min and 22 sec, the angle of the rudder being 14 deg, and the revolutions of the engines 53i. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B . Wainwright, refitting at Portsmouth, has her time fixed for being out of the hands of the dockyard officials by the 28th inst. There is a difficulty, how ever, connected with her cylinder covers which may probably delay her completion until a period later than the day named. The Thunderer, old sailing 84, has been taken into the ship basin at Portsmouth, to clear out and return into store her fittings, &0., preparatory to being made into a target ship. A statement to the effect that the Board of Ad theWoolwich miralty has determined on a b o li s hi ng the law of superannuation in her Majesty' s d oc k yards was last weekconfirmed ont b r y oller of the Navy. the reading of a circular It was directed to the apprenti ces i n the factories, who have served a great porti on o f their time under the condition of being entered on the permanent order from at e the staff of the establishment after the expiration of their term of apprenticeship- The memorandum sets aside the established rule under which these young men entered the service, and affects to free the Board of Admiralty from responsibilityas regards any future provision for their apprentices beyond allowing them the privilege of continuing tempora rily in the service on the hired list, and to be dis charged as circumstances may require. The order has occasioned much dissatisfaction in the dockyard. Mr. Tucker, one of the superior officers of the shipwright's department of Woolwich dockyard, has been ordered by the Board of Admiralty to proceed to Glasgow and survey the frigates (three in num ber) under construction by Messrs. Napier and Co. for the Turkish Government. The frigates will be built of iron, of the Warrior class. Two of the num ber aro already somewhat advanced. The hired transport Ranger, of St. John's, on Fri day sailed from Woolwich pier for Halifax. She was laden with a part cargo from the London Docks, and shipped at Woolwich Armstrong 110-pounder guns and gear, ammunition, and light Government stores. The Arethusa, 39, 600 hoarse power, is being brought forward to take the place of the Leander, 39, 400 horse power, in the first division of the Cnatham steam reserve in th e M edway unt il rt quired for commission. The engines and machinery of the Arethusa, which were taken to pieces and stowed away after her last official trial trip, are DOW being put together by the engineers belonging to the steam reserve. According to orders received at Chatham, she is to be commissioned in the ensuing " FOURTH DESPATCH: "St. John's, Newfoundland, April 28.--The steamer Dauntless, at 9 a.m. to-day, picked up two boats belonging to the Anglo-Saxon containing 90 persons.

Major-Gen. Stransham, lnspecior•General of Royal Marines, last week issued a notification of his intention to commence his half-yearly inspection of the Woolwich division to-day, at half-past 3. The interesting ceremony of presenting colours to the 10th Regiment of Foot (North Lancashire) took place on Friday in the Phoenix-park, Dublin. A large number of persons were present. His Excel lency the Earl of Carlisle, who presented the colours, delivered an address to the troops. He traced the history of the regiment from the wars of Marl borough to the close of the Indian mutiny, when it received 423 medals. In giving it the colours, he knew, he sad, that he had put them into the hands which would never disgrace them. Col. Longden having returned thanks, the colours were trooped, and the proceedings terminated. A notification has been received at Chatham from the War-office announcing that in future the allowance for libraries of the Royal Artillery will be at the rate of £2 per battery, and not, as hereto fore, £2O per brigade. This alterat.on, however, is not to affect the Depot or Coast Brigades, for both of which special arrangements are made. The following promotions and appointments in the corps of Royal Artillery have been announced at Chatham garrison :—Col. F. B. Boileau, on the retired full pay list, to be Major-Gen., the rank being honorary only ; Lieut-Col. and Brevet-Col. C.

A " Schweizerische Alpenclub" is now i n process of formation at Berne, with branches in other Swiss towns. Its object, according to the programme is " the systematic attack of the last hidden corners of the ice regions, as well as of the highest peaks not yet trodden by man ." Another special object of the " Alpenclub" is the erection of huts in the most interesting localities of the Alps, built for the double purpose of affording an asylum for travellers and of giving fixed stations for topographical, meteorological, and other scientific obsertations. The labours of the society are to commence early this summer. -r- - . '- ‘- - -G PI:10E ..... STAMPED ....sd. THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. (From the I imes' Correspondent.) CONSTANTINOPLE, April 30. From every quarter I receive most interesting accounts of the progress of the Sultan, and if I were engaged in the collection of materials for a" History of the Sultan's voyage," instead of supplying only an outline of these events for the information and amusement of your readers, without exhausting the subject and their patience, I should not be wanting in matter for a detailed and interesting narrative of this expedition. From no place, however, have I received such abundance of detail as from Smyrna, and the enthusiasm of all classes in that, the second city of the Empire, seems to have amounted almost to frenzy. Nor was this feeling limited to the Turkish population. The Greeks, the Armenians, the Jews, but particularly the European residents, in that ancient seat of commerce, seem to have vied with each other in the heartfelt welcome which they offered to the Sultan ; and this seems so much to have touched him that he is reported to have said that, while the arrangements for his reception and stay in Egypt evinced a princely magnificence difficult to rival, the ovation which attended his reception at Smyrna denoted the deeper impulses of the heart. And this would seem to be a correct estimate of the case. Ani mated by this feeling, the Sultan on this occasion departed from all the traditional exigencies of etiquette and the exclusive reserve which has always been observed by his predecessors. Enter ing into the spirit of this manifestation, he made himself accessible to all classes of his subjects, both in public and private. Deputations, addresses, petitions—many, no doubt, tedious and intru sive—were received by him with the graciousness and good humour of a constitutional monarch, rather than the forbidding austerity and apathy of a despotic ruler, whose very frown would prostrate millions to the dust. On all these occasions he seems to have evinced consummate tact and good taste in the graceful answers and observations which be addressed to those who came within his presence. Of the official members of the community it would appear that he selected Count Bentivoglio, the French Consul-General, for his special conde scension, without, however, falling short in civility towards the others. Count Bentivoglio is the brother in-law of Count Walewski, and has distinguished himself both in Syria, where he was French agent during the massacres, and in his present post, by a spirit of hostility and opposition to the Turkish Government which very often went beyond the bounds of justice and good policy. With the good caste of a French gentleman, he seems, on this occa sion, to have laid aside his old animosities and taken the lead in the preparations which were made to re ceive the Sultan in a becoming manner. He has been rewarded by the most marked civility and the pre sent of a horse from the Imperial stables; and it is not unlikely that these Oriental blandishments wil contribute to make him more just and more tract. able in his future relations with the Turkish autho rities, and perhaps also obtain the favour and good will of the Count's influential relatives and patrons. Next to him the Latin Archbishop of Smyrna has succeeded so far in ingratiating himself with the Sovereign that the Sultan presented him with the liberal donation of £5OO towards the erection of a cathedral in Smyrne. This gift was accompanied by expressions of interest and goodwill in the welfare of the Latin subjects of Turkey. In addition to this munificence the Royal bounty has been extended in an impartial manner to all deserving institutions and ,o the relief of distress, without regard to creed or political sympathies and considerations. The pro gramme of the Imperial visit to Smyrna may be briefly summed up as follows—A review of the troops, a visit twice repeated to the works of the railroad, an expedition by rail to Ephesus, visits to the country houses of two leading merchants—one English the other Greek, at the former of which be partook of a collation—a circumstance unprece dented, I believe, in the annals of Imperial conde- scensions—and, finally, a dinner on board the Im perial yacht, including about 40 of the leading per . _ sons of the community. On the departure of the squadron from Smyrna i was expected that the Sultan would return imme. diately to the capital, without halting at any other point. It is now announced that he Rill only arrive here on Friday next. With the evident object of giving to this excursion the colouring of usefulness, and with a serious intention, I have no doubt, o: the Sultan to profit by it, we are now informed that the intermediate delays are being employed in a cartful and minute inspection of the defensive posi tion and fortresses in the Hellespont. Here, again, the ruling motive of the Sultan in his martial pro- pensities declares itself; but in this instance it only indicates a wise and prudent precaution, and so long as his military tendencies are governed by the in terests of the country, in the legitimate extension of its defensive resources, and do not aspire to wild schemes of aggression, no fault can be found with him for devoting himself to the attainment of a position which may inspire internal confidence and respect from without. It has often been my ungracious duty, i❑ supply ing your readers with information respecting this country, to represent many subjects in a manner not favourable to its administrators. In speaking of :he government of the provinces I have pointed out ,he corrupt misrule which prevailed, and which in a few years has brought them to such a depth of degradation. In alluding to the finances of the empire I showed the confusion and disorder which threatened impending ruin and disgrace. In com- men Eng upon the corrupt practices of Pashas I have exposed a syatem which for years has been undermining the country. In recording the public acts of the Sultan I ventured to point out that the reactionary tendencies which he displayed on various occasions, and which not long ago brought about such a crisis in the Administration as threat- ened to degenerate into a panic, might estrange him 'rom his allies and result in danger to the country. from all partiality, and limited myself, In dealing with these various subjects I a h b o s b ta e i s n t e o d f of things.

Ile seems to have devoted himself entirely to the object of acquiring a know ledge of the country, and of conferring such bene fits as his presence can produce. There is still one point against it, and that is the enormous ex penditure which has attended this expedition. When I stated that it would cost the country half a million I was withi❑ the limits of the amount which has been actually expended. When it is considered that this in itbelf exceeds the civil list of the Royal family of England, that is, moreover, raised at a time when the measure of most moment to the Turkish Empire is the reconstitution of its financial system—which can only be accomplished by the strictest retrenchment in all the departments E4 t'l_9Y, H of the Oorerement, fu which I*.`,Z equally participate—it must be sit s jZiiiarAl i etr wasteful prodi ga li ty i n the sho ee weeks is n o t warranted by the eta e S 4 or of its finances. There is one circumstance in connection with this Imperial voyage which has taken every one by surprise, and this is the altered disposition of the Sultan both in manner and words. The character ; which wan generally attributed to him partook of a haughty an d o b st i nate reserve, amountiurs to stern- Hasa, fled an indisposition to receive the counsels of his advi sers. All his public edicts and private say ings bore the stamp of harsh and imperious com mand ; and now every public net of his seems to bear the impress of a liberal and courteous spirit. Ills replies to the addresses presented to him by the consular and other public bodies in Egypt and in Smyrna are worded in a manner showing great tact. In endeavouring to account for this change one is naturally led to investigate the causes of it ; and it becomes evident that a wise and powerful superior to his own, is governing his actions and prompting his words. Fuad Pasha seems in a short time to have acquired a vast influence over the Sultan's mind. It is evident that the Sovereign is, so to speak, the mouthpiece of the Minister. The record of all the Imperial declarations on this occa sion may be asked as the political programme of this statesman. He endeavoured at first to persuade the Sultan from undertaking this journey at an unpro pitious moment. Seeing that persistence in this course would only irritate, he wisely abstained from further advice on the subject ; and with the judg ment and foresight peculiar to him, and a great strength of will, he determined that the scheme which originated in caprice, and was strengthened and confirmed by oppos i t i on, was one w hich, with proper management, might be made to serve as a basis on which to raise political capital, and enhance the credit of the Sultan and of his intentions in the public estimation. The result shows that he has established a great moral ascendancy over the Sul tan. There is not one of the Sovereign's acts which does not bear the stamp of the Minister, who has not left his side, so to speak, for a moment during the whole of the voyage. It is thus that the strong will of one man sometimes succeeds in defeating the evil effects of an ill•judged measure, and even to reap advantage from that which prognosticated dis satisfaction. It is confidently asserted, and I have no doubt myself on the subject, that soon after the Sultan's return Fried Pasha will assume his old position as Grend Vizier. The respect and defer ence which he has succeeded in exacting from the Sultan, with a hom it is well known he was not a favourite, may, if judiciously employed, be used by Fuad Pasha as a great and powerful engine by which to enforce the enlightened and reforming policy which he has always identified himself. He will have an able supporter of these views in tlali Pasha. Of the others in the Administration not much can be said, but by honest and cordial co-ope ration these two may achieve much, and make the others subservient to their policy. A FEDERAL INVASION OF IRELAND. If an enemy of the Irish race could have his wish, it would not be far from realisation whenever an Irish army commanded by General M'Clellan—let us have him by all means at its head—trusted itself to the Atlantic, or crowded into some rockgirt bay to effect a landing on our shores. It is sad enough to cast one's eyes over the lists, long and many, which fill the Northern newspapers after every battle, and re cognise there the names of the poor victims who have perished in front of Confederate cannon and bayonet, in seeking to impose on the people of the South the hated rule of Northern masters. Well have they paid their footing in the land ! Let that sacrifice be enough, and let evil advisers at home and abroad be content with the outpouring of blood which has swept away nigh every trace of liberty and freedom in the Western world, and left little there for which free men care to live. The losses incurred in this war are not to be conceived ; a large proportion, considered relatively to the amount of the population, has been borne by the Irish immi grants, old and new. Let us take as an example the facts connected with one State. Michigan is largely peopled by Irish and Germans—in 1860 it contained 715,595 inhabitants. According to the ratio established there were, between the ages of 18 and 45, 95,578 persons in the whole State liable to draught. Up to July, 1862, Michigan sent to the field 24,281 men, including recruits ; between July and December she founded 3 regiments cavalry, 10 infantry, and 1 battery, making 13,739 men ; in December she organised 3 regiments cavalry, 2 in fantry, 1 rifles, 2 batteries, or 4,400 men, making, with local companies liable to service, a total of 45,569 or nearly one-half of the who e male population liable to service. This total does not include the men who enlisted in the regular United States' service within the State of Michigan, and it certainly speaks well for the courage of the people and their attachment to the Federal Government. Let us see how some of these regiments fared. The Ist Michigan consisted of 977 officers and men. In the second ac- tion at Bull Run the colonel, adjutant, four captains, two lieutenants, and 21 rank and file were killed, and more than half the regiment were wounded. In last December it had lost by death, from disease or ' wounds, 385 men ; no less than 14 officers had re signed. The 2d Michigan Regiment, 1,013 strong, was reduced to 642 in November last, and its colonel died of his wounds. The 3d Regiment was reduced in the same month, in four months, from 1,040 to 669 strong. The 4th Regiment lost its colonel and 403 officers and men in the same period. The sth, which was 983 strong, lost its colonel and 426 men, who perished by sickness or the enemy's fire, in cluding, however, 167 discharged for disability, 23 deserters, 184 "dropped from the rolls," and 13 officers " resigned." At Fair Oaks, out of 300 en gaged, it lost 30 killed, 116 wounded, five missing. The 6th was reduced in New Orleans campaign from 1,075 to 756. There were only 21 killed, or died of wounds, but 138 died of disease, and 181 were dis charged.h The 7th Regiment is described as muc h reduced in numbers," and at Antietam wounded, genera Rofegslcment was sicknessre suffered d l ee d ai f 3n r l2 o oli n s sie deserted,9onBftu Kentucky;' k y Regiment suffered a loss of 260 discharged , 100 whole force engaged was disabled.'
