have obtained situations u wet-nurses, a great fact In proof of
the decent, healthy, and well•conditioued state of these indivi-
duals. Many are working at the shirt business for a mere trifle,
to earn which they must labour all day; and several are learning
the trade of shirtmakiug without wages, in hopes of being able
to assist themselves. Upon a fair review of their conduct and
their general appearance, we can safely say that the women
relieved by our Committee are creditable to the army. Eveu
with the relief they receive their position is far too trying a one
to be anything but a warning, instead of an attraction, to other
females to enter into the same state; and we advisedly give it as

our opinion that the operations of this Committee Ware not
calculated to create the mischief which some imagine is likely
to result from the charity and sympathy which has been evinced
by the British public for this most unhappy class of women,
suddenly deprived of the help of their husbands.

Extract from the Manchester and Salford Local Committee:—
"Salford Barracks, 29th August.
"I send you a statement of a few cases which strike me as
being unusually distressing. There are many nearly as bad, 140
in number. Very few of the women who have young children
(and the children are nearly all too young to work) can earn any-
thing worth noticing, 2e. or 3s. a week at the most. Of course
those who enjoyed the privileges of living in barracks, Sm., as
being married with leave, are in the worst circumstances, and they
suffer severely. They lose their lodging and advantages of fuel,
company's and officers' washing, say be. or 6s. a week, and the
assistance of their husbands' pay. Lodging here of a very in-
different sort coats them 2s. and 3s. a week, and they will be far
worse lodged than when in barracks. I send you the cases of
four women all mart ied with leave, one with six children, another
five, another four, another three. There are many others mar-
ried with leave, having two or three children nearly as destitute.
There is no employment that they are capable of, hampered as
they are with young ohildren, for whose care they must pay If they
leave them at home and seek employment elsewhere.

E.:tract from the Report of the Woolwich Local Committee:—
" Woolwich Rectory, 4th September, 1854.
" The women were left in very many cases, I am sure I may
say in almost all, without any menus for themselves and their
children. Many were on the eve of confinement. Their only
resource would have been to become paupers on the parish, and
their only asylum would have been the workhouse. A generous
provisiou on the part of a grateful country for the wives and
families of those on whom they depended, under God, for a sue.
cessful issue of the war in which we have been compelled to
engage has prevented this. But suppose this had not been the
case, how hardly would the maintenance of so many have
pressed upon the poor-rate payers ! and in many instances how
unfairly ! Take Woolwich for instance, and the case w‘,uld be
similar with respect to all garrison towns. We have upwards
of 200 women, besides their children, to be maintained somehow.
I think it quite possible that the burden would have been felt so
heavily that a memorial might have been sent to the Govern-
ment. But however this might be, the expense would have
been unfairly thrown upon parishes such as our own; but this
is a trifling matter when compared with the pauperisation of
respectable wives of soldiers of our army.
"HENRY BROWN,
" Rector of Woolwich."
Extract from the Report of the Dublin Local Committee;—
"September 4th, 1854.
"I find that since the let July to the 2nd instant I have
made about 3,400 payments (in small sums, varying from one
shilling to one pound live shillings) to about4oo women, soldiers'
wives. We have granted several women free passages to their
friends and relatives, released clothes from pawn-offices for
women going into situations, set up numbers in a small way of
business, defrayed the funeral expenses of a few children, and
in numberless other ways have been the means of conferring
substantial benefits upon these poor people, tkc. Had it not
been for the small weekly payments, the majority would have
been in the poorhouse. -Many women, although they only
received Is. Bd. a week, were thus kept going, and encouraged to
work for themselves and children, &c.
" CHARLES HORT,
"Senior Garrison Chaplain, and Honorary
Secretary to Committee:'
Extract from the Report of another Local Committee .
" We have hardly relieved any that were not married with
leave and on the strength. By the timely aid rendered by your
Society much distress was of course prevented, as, as soon as
they were left, your excellent Society took them by the hand.
But timely as this aid was offered, it was not before, in many
cases, the poor creatures had parted with nearly everything, even
in two cases to their wedding-rings. What would have been the
condition of these poor creatures if no such Society as yours
had existed? Many of them, far too high-spirited to have become
the inmates of a workhouse, would have been plunged into a
state of misery fearful to contemplate. But even as it is, much
misery is to be found. A poor delicate creature with two
childen, married with leave, to whom your Society grants a
weekly allowance, has been compelled to part with her furniture.
So distressing is this woman's case, and so respectable a charac-
ter does she appear to be, that some of the other women have
helped her out of their own small pittance, 6:,c. Every day I
feel more thankful for the good your Society is doing; upwards
of thirty are receiving help from you at this place. I only wish
those who have contributed large sums to your Society could
witness the gratitude of these poor women for the help they
receive ; they would indeed feel more than repaid for all they
have done."
SOLDIERS' WIVES AT VARNA.

Mr. Ray, formerly the active and intelligent Inspecting Officer
of this Association, writes from Varna to the following effect
" Varna, August 4th, ]Bt4.
" Sir,—l beg to draw your attention to the condition of the
poor women here. Many of them have died, and others are
dying; others who are in a state of convalescence are not able
to proceed further with their regiments, and the men are ex-
pected to leave this in about fourteen days; and these poor
creatures, emaciated and dried with the sun, will be left in a
foreign land without any protection or home whatever. What I
thought of was. to provide a house and food for such as have
none; moat of them have blankets, but to those who have not I
would propose lending them some, and to encourage those who
are able to get about to wait on the sick, cook, and wash. If your
Committee is pleased to approve of this plan, I shall be most
happy to superintend the whole matter, and I an quite sure it
would relieve many a poor man of intense anxiety. The cold
weather will be soon setting in, then what will these poor women
do? If the ladies in England would send us a little flannel, a
few blankets, and left-off gannents, they would be rendering us
a great service, &e. The great work that is going on for the
wives and families of the soldiers by means of the Association
in which you take so prominent and energetic a part causes
abundant joy to the husbands and fathers here; and when I
remind them of what is doing they seem overjoyed, and many
thanks are expressed both to yourself and the Committee and
benevolent friends for the sympathy shown them. Numerous aro
the deaths from cholera and fevers, and doubtless many who are
cared for by your Association are really widows, but news of
the fact may not have reached them. They have not yet entered
the field, but every day the order for embarkation for the

SATURDAY,

Crimea is expected, where doubtless many will fall, and these
poor fellows have their eyes upon your Association to protect
their wives and children. I am happy to say I have been well
received by the men generally; to point them to the ' Lamb of
God that taketh away the sins of the world; is my ostensible
work, and to tell them of the great work going on in England
for the good of those they have left behind is in perfect keeping:
it is indeed good news. The poor women who have followed
their husbands to this place are in a moat pitiable condition. and
when the expedition sails for the Crimea they will be lett here.
Would that we had an Association here for these poor objects!
Varna is in perfect confusion; how could it be otherwise with
such a congregation of nations. fierce, wild, desperate-looking
fellows, armed to the teeth, ar.xiously waiting for the signal to
summon them to the tight? May you long be spared in your
glorious work, of all works the most enviable, to care for the
poor, &c. &c."
Immediately on the receipt of these letters the Committee
met, and decided that a donation of blankets, shawls, &c. &c.,
should immediately be sent to Varna, and the sum of 1 001.
should be granted for the use of these women. On the Ist
September goods to the amount of 341. were sent by steam to
Constantinople, addressed to the care of the Consul• General,
who was requested to use his discretion in forwarding them to
Varna. A bill of exchange for 1001. was also sent to the same
authority, with instructions and authority to Mr. Ray to act as
the almoner of the Association.
. _

Private letters received by the Committee fully corroborate
the fact of the distress of these poor women, fur, though they
receive what are called rations, no other female comforts can be
provided for them.
" Camp near Varna, August 24th, 1R64.
" Dearest,—Yours dated August 3rd came to band on the 16th.
I have received all your letters except one. You did tell me,
my dear, that seven shillings a week was what you received from
the Association ; and although that is a mere trifle in a place
like London, yet we ought to be very thankful for it. You say you
deeply regret you did not go with me; indeed, my dear wife,
much as I desire to be whit you, I think it one of the most pro-
vidential things ever happened for you to be where you are,
instead of being here; badly off as you are now, you would be
utterly miserable here. We have lost already two married men
of cholera. 1 sleep in the staff tent ever siuce I got better of
the cholera. Everything is enormously high here; a meuthful
of white bread and cheese for supper costs bd. One thing lately
we can always get, a pint of ale fur 2d. or porter lid.; in fact, it
is the only thing we relish; for the bread is very bad, and we get
nothing but the nasty beef, which we cannot eat, ►ut boil down
and make soup of. I get, as 1 said before, Is. Ind. a day pay.
Out of this, iici. is stopped for rations, and 2d. a day for mess.
money ; so that by the time I pay for something tit to eat there
is not much left; still I shall, please God. send you all I can,
kc. The women here have no way of making money by washing,
the water is too far off, &c.
" I am sorry to say I have been very ill, and, as it Is far the
best for me to let you know the whole truth, I must inform you
that I have had the cholera; I was very bad while it lasted, but
thank the God of all goodness for his great mercy, He has
restored me. The doctors have been very kind indeed to me;
everything I could wish for was got for me ; almost all the officers
and the colonel came to me and inquired about me constantly.
Poor L. M., J. M., and E., and Mrs. L., have all died since my
last; also J. R. and S. F. Indeed, my dearest wife, I rely in
perfect confidence in my Redeemer, and feel myself quite un-
worthy of His mercy ; and during the worst of my illness I felt
humbled before Hiram whom alone my salvation is sure. Your
ever-loving husband, " E. R."
The wife of the writer of this letter (a most excellent non
commissioned officer) was left nearly destitute with five young
children. She bears a most irreproachable character, and is
most anxious to exert herself to obtain her own livelihood; but
what can she do with five young children? Her two eldest girls
are entirely provided for by the Association, and she receives a
weekly allowance of seven shillings.
The Committee perceive with pleasure that the authorities are
gradually sending them home from the East. Three arrivals of
soldiers' families have already been brought before the Com-
mittee, for no sooner do they land than they apply to the Asso-
ciation, and it is needless to add how readily their application is
always responded to.
WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.

The first efforts of this Association were limited to the imme-
diate relief of the Wives of Soldiers ordered on active service,
who, in consequence of their having families, were left behind,
utterly destitute of all means of existence save the temporary out-
door parish relief. Since that time the sword and the pestilence
have too fatally done their sad work, and many of these poor
people have become more hopelessly destitute by the death of
their husbands.
The Committee, however, encouraged by the magnificent con-
tributions received from all parts of the world, have found them-
selves in a position to make the following scale of donations for
Widows, which is the same that was adopted by the administra-
tors of the Waterloo Fund, in 1815 :
Unanimously resolved,—" That relief in the shape of a dona-
tion not exceeding the undermentioned sums, being the same as
agreed to by the Waterloo Committee on the 28th of June, 1815,
be adopted as a scale for the Widows of non-commissionee. Offi-
cers and Soldiers now serving against Russia.
" A Pension may be granted, in the place of the whole or part
of such Donation, should it appear expedient to the Committee."

Of Widows the Association has already sixtytour in their
boo ks, and of Orphans 108.
The following letter shows that for the Widows of those brave
men who perished with their Colonel in the Europa transport
ample provision was made, and that the measures adopted for
their relief have fully satisfied the Officer commanding the deptit
of the Inniskillings
" Canterbury Barracks, July 13th, 104.
" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge, with many thanks,
the receipt of your memorandum, detailing the amount of the
donations granted by the Association of which you are the ho-
norary Secretary to the widows and orphans of the five noncom-
missioned officers and men of the Inniskilling Dragoons who
were lost in the Europa transport.
" The ready and liberal aid thus sent to their relief will, I trust,
be effectual to alleviate in some degree their distress; and it
marks, too, in a way for which I am most grateful, how deeply
the Committee of your admirable Association appreciate the bra-
very and noble conduct of those who stood by their Colonel to
the last.
'• Sure I am, from private accounts which I have received, that
had all on board done their duty as manfully as those who pe-
rished, there would not have been a life lost in the Europa.

For the five widows and children of the Bth Inniskillinge an-
nuities have been purchased, large sums haviug been subscribed
for thorn in addition to the grant from this Association; the
amount will render them independent for their lives.
For the other widows, donations, varying from M. to Int., have
been granted immediately on the receipt of official notification of
their husbands' death. Most of them were already on the books
of the Association, and had been receiving relief fur borne tune:
it is proposed to grant them en annual pension as long as they
remain Widows and the resources of the Association continue
available.
CONCLUDING REMARKS.
Effectually to prevent the recnr.ence of such distressing
scenes as those which gave rise to the formation of this Associa-
tion, the Committee have had in consideration a plan which it is
hoped might tend materially to raise the condition of the soldier's
wife, and secure a provision for the soldier's widow.
As there is no probability, under existing circumstances, of so
raising the pay of the soldier as to enable him when married to
apportion a sufficient share of it to his family while he is on ac-
tive service, the Committee are of opinion that a National Fund
should be established, of which the Invested capital of this Asso-
ciation shall be the foundation, aid to which the public and the
soldier shall be Invited to subscribe annually.
This fund to provide pensions for widows and orphans, as well
as temporary assistance to wife and faintly, who, having become
subscribers, may be ordered on active service.
The exact subscription which the soldier would be called upon
to pay must depend on the amount of public support the National
Fund may receive,—it must always be'a very small sum from the
soldier; but the Cotninlttee are convinced that the country will
approve of this proposed attempt to encourage habits of obedience
and prudent foresight amongst the married soldiers of the Bri-
tish army.
By order of the Committee,

Ertract from "THE LANCET," July 29, 1864.
" After a careful examination of the different kinds of Cod
Liver Oil, Dr. de Jough giver the preference to the Lint Brown
Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty
acid, a smaller quantity of iudiub, phosphoric acid, and the ele-
ments of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod
Liver Oil no doubt partly depends. Sums of the defirienclee of
the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation,
and especially ui Its filtration though charcoal. In the prefer.
ence of the Light Drown over the Pale Oil we fully concur.
" We have carefully tested a specimen of the Light Brown Cod
Liver Oil, prepared for medical use under the direction of Dr. de
dough, and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs. MUNI,
