We (Army and Nary Gazette) understand that
the Court of Inquiry which has been MUM( in Dublin to
Investigate certain
in 4 matters connected with the Commis.
la riat Department at the Curnigh has made its report, but
that no ulterior prooesdiuge have been considered by the
authorities to be necessary beyond an admonition to the
officer* concerned to mocha greater vigilance over their
subordinates for the future.

The dietrilsation of the Kirwee prize money (says
the Army arid Nary Gazette) has not yet been arranged.
We believe that Lord Clyde claims his share se commander-
in-chief, on the plain ground that Whitelock's column was
under his orders, and that he, as commander-in-chief iu the
field, planned its operations and directed its movements.
Lord Clyde, as the commander-in-chief, also thinks he has
the beet right to may what corps should participate in the
jrize, as the government have decided oa letting the Banda
ewels, he., go to the army ; and he who directed all the
columns which were in the field considers that Sir Hugh
Rose's force is entitled to participate in it. No doubt Lord
Clyde's views will have great weight in the quarter to which
they are addressed. Our own opinion at the facts, es they
were stated to us, was expressed long ago.
NON-COMILIRRIONED OFFICERS AND THE SCHOOLS
or Mongaritv.—Wbea lately ordering detachments to the
School of Musketry at Myths for instruction, the Duke of
Cambridge remarked :—" Representations having been made
to his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief
that the general intelligence and educational attainments of
many of the non-commissioned officers sent to the schools of
musketry are of such a low standard that the object of their
instruction is often frustrated, and their usefulness 00 TO-
turning to their battalions greatly limited, his royal high-
ness has desired that this subject may be specially attended
to in selecting parties for instruction, and has notified that
be will henceforth take serious cognisance of any case in
which inch injunctions and the directions of the general
order of Sept. Z, 1861, shall appear to have been disre-
garded."

THE ALDERSHOT &MINDS, THE PUBLIC, AND THE
Vounrrxxvis.—A correspondent of the leading journal
demands that the Duke of Cambridge shall give the
public information of the reviews at Aldershot. in
order that they in general, and volunteer officers
in particular, may attend for amusement or instruction ;
and be argues that the public have a right to this
information, seeing that they have paid for the sight.
Now, we are inclined to think his Royal Highness
the General Commanding-in-Chief will not accede to
this request, localise, if he were to do so, the very
thing he is most anxioua to avoid would take
place, and the public would attend in such numbers
that neither generals nor soldiers could move with freedom.
It must be remembered that the " fine sight ^ is only an
incident in the course of military instructioo. The camp
at Aldershot was constituted for the purpose of perfecting
officers and men in drill and discipline, not to afford
the public the gratification of field days. We have
authority for stating that when the public have at-
tended en muse the greatest inconvenience has been caused
to the commanding officer, the generals, and brigadiers
by the crowds of mounted men galloping about, after
or among the staff, and by the spectators getting in the way
of the troops or obstructing the view. Still, with proper
arrangements for keeping the ground, some set review■ and
field-days might take place during the season, of which doe
notice might he given to the world. At Chalons the field-
days are fixed in regular order. l'eci;le who really desire
to me troops in motion will rarely be disappointed if they
go down any fine day to Aldershot ; but if they only want
to go when the duke is down, we can tell them his royal
highness has a decided dislike to attend on such occasions,
and is not likely to gratify them. —Army and Nary Gazelle.

ALTERATIONS IN THE LUNACY LAWS.—Two acts
were pawed at the close of last session amending the lunacy
laws. With regard to commismors, the ietpairy in to alleged
insanity is to be limited to two years, and this limitation will
save great expense. The alleged lunatic is to be examined
before the evidence is cmaimeasied, and at the close before
the jury consult on their verdict. The presiding judge is to
decide whether the examinations are to be conducted in
open court or in private. Another alteration is made in came
where the property does not exceed 1,0001. in value, or 501.
a year. In such cases the Lord Chaneelior, without the ex-
pense of a commissioa, can make the property available for
the lunatic or his family, or for conTioll on any trade or
business. The same provision extends to persons acquitted
on the ground of insanity. In the other act of parliament,
" absence on trial" is permitted to lunatics, sod unless
they return on the expiration of the period, or unless a me.
dial certificate is forwarded that their detention is no
longer necessary, they may be retaken as if they had
escaped. The act provides that proper asylums are to be
made, and medical visitors are to see the patients at least
four times a year ; and, unless under special circumstances,
the inmates may correspoed without having their letters
opened.

CRYOTAL PALACE POULTRY Snow.—The entries
for this occasion ere more numerous than upon any previous
mummer show, and as they come from the principal breeders
and fanciers of the country, there is every reason to believe
that it will, in the quality as well u in the number of the
sPouimest gurus previous shows. It ass also an
international °Sumer, as be pees of poultry and pigeons
come from Franco, ➢
not only competing with our usual vs.
