LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13.

THE last report of the
pitals, in the Crimes, is amost remarkable document
During the week ending 23rd February, not a single
death from disease occurred in the whole army, and
only two deaths from accidents. In the coarse of the
three weeks which ended au the 23rd there had been
only fourteen deaths in the army, and the ratio of the
sick to the healthy was only four-sod-a-half in the
hundred. The Highland Division (4,880 men) bad
only one death in five weeks; the Third Division
(8,480) note single death in twenty-eight days; the
Light Division (8.480) no death in a fortnight. These
facts are most honourable to the regimental surgeons
—whose skill and indefatigable assiduity will not,
it is to be hoped, be forgotten or allowed to
go unrewarded. But they also prove that
the other departments of the army, as well
as the medical, most be in a high state of
efficiency. It is true that our soldier' in the Crimea
are no looger exposed to exhausting watches in the
trenches; but toper the most inclement mason of the
year in a camp is in itself • severe trial of men's
constitutions. Add to this, that one parties of the
army consists of men whose eseedtedens have hese
merely tried durisg the *p, eats the met, of raw
recruits obnoxious to dimes" from new habits of life
in a climate to which they ore not eesmieemed. With-
out any disrespect to one excellent regimental sur-
geons, it may be said that all their care and attention
could not have xept the army in its present eminently
healthy condition had it not been well found
in other respects. Accordingly we learn that
the supplies for the army, of all kinds, are now most
ample, and most liberally and judiciously distributed.
A correspondent, whose communication we published
on Saturday last, whom moos of obtaining informa-
tion we know to b 3 great, and in whose accuracy in
observing, and veracity in reporting, we have un-
limited confidence, states—" that the English sol-
diers in the Crimea are better hogged than either the
Free& or the Sardinians;" that "the British troops
are by far the most warmly clad ; " and that "the
rations of the English troops are very liberal, and
nearly se advantageous in kind as could be desired.*
With reference to the rations of the English soldiers
our correspondent enters into some details:—" They
comprehend variety: a proportion of potatoes—on
of the best anti-scorbutic vegetables—or anima, boa
meat, and bread at frequent intervals, and the eses-
Inconel use of lime or lemon joie* being among them.*
Moreover there is every reason to believe that the
moral condition of our army in the Crimea is as excel-
lent as its physical condition. Not a mail arrive, from
that quarter bat brings us intelligence of efforts
made by the officers to amuse and instruct the
men under their command. The confidential letters
to their friends, both of officers and private., prove
that entire sympathy, and the mast perfect good
understanding, prevails among all clams. The
disposition of the soldiers is good; their courage
high ; and they have perfect confidence in their
regimental officers.

Bearing thees thiop in mind, it is impossible for
an Erilishman to read the marants of the grand
review of the 24th of lest month without a Will apse-
datable pride. The twenty-flve thousand men who, oa
that day, with " vigorous frames, healthy coantsaaame,
elastic tread," defiled before their general, must hays
derived a stimulus from the coassiciesams that they
were well ab!s to endure the critical inepeetion of
the most accomplished officers of the French and Sar-
dinian Armies, who clustered observant armed them.
Dariag the earlier months of the war all advantages
were cm the side of the experienced soldiers of Foams

versed. The little army of Dammam; which, dar-
ing the terrible twister siege, showed as miserably

court, had renewed it, youth on the 24th
of last Febreary. It was a martial Phoenix
