"That the present rank and emoluments of assistant- :
surgeons are not of a character, apart from other consi- '
durations, to retain in the department medical men of
talent and proficiency, to whom is open the prospect of
higher remuneration as practitioners in civil life. Having
in a great majority of instances no means beyond those
afforded by the practice of their profession, medical men
hesitate to enter a service in which, however honourable
and desirable in many respects, the small remuneration
allowed them is notoriously insufficient for maintaining
their proper standing, or enabling them to associate on
terms of equality with their brother officers.
" That while the assistant-surgeon, having first arrived
at the age of 21, must have also undergone a long and
expensive course of professional study previous to assum-
ing the subaltern rank allotted to him—one wholly un-
worthy of the dignity of the profession to which he be-
longs—the executive officer may, without any special
preliminary education, join the army at a very early
age, and, within the short period of two years, attain a
rank for which a medical officer can become eligible only
after a lengthened period of service.
"That the much more rapid promotion of executive
than of medical officers during time of war implies also
an undeservedly low estimate of the exertions of the lat-
ter, who share the dangers of battle, privation, and cli-
mate, and are exposed to additional risk of life from
constant intercourse with the wounded and diseased, but,
unlike their fellows, reap from their services, however
distinguished, neither advantage nor reward, in conse-
quence of the long period of service enjoined by the `re-
gulations' before promotion.
" That promotion appears at the present time to be
conducted on no definite plan, and is not regulated, as
it should be, by consideration, of merit, seniority, or ser-
vices in the field.
"That the ill-defined nature of the duties of assis tent-
surgeons is not only open to objection, but their being
required to combine the functions of dispenser, dresser,
and clerk with those of physician and surgeon is incom-
patible with, and unworthy of, their true positien.
"That under ordinary circumstances medical officers
are denied the leave of absence desirable for professional
improvement and other purposes.
"That the period assigned for the retirement of meci-
cal officers is unnecessarily prolonged, exceeding that of
other officers actually by one-fourth, and virtually by
one-half.
"That your lordship's memorialists cannot fail to re-
gret that the augmentation of the army shoold have
failed to accelerate promotion in the medical department
alone, in consequence of the introduction of civil prac-
titioners to the posts of authority and emolument thus
created, to fill which your lordship's memorialists hum-
bly consider the permanently appointed members of the
department not only better entitled, but from their
knowledge of the peculiarities of military practice even
more competent - and believe the adjustment of the
various causes of objection above detailed could not fail
at all times to attract to the regular channel of the de-
partment a sufficiently large number of the most highly-
gif ted and accomplished of the profession to render in
any future emergency all extraneous aid unnecessary.
" Your lordship's memorialists therefore humbly
pray
" That the pay and rank of assistant-surgeons be in- I
creased.
" That five years be th 4 maximum, instead of at pre-
sent the minimum, service required for promotion, and
that the substantial recognition of service in the field, so
liberally bestowed on military officers, be extended to
assistau t.s urg
" ri
g ' whose services are not less onerous
or deserving." That the professional experience gained in so wide a
and which no length of home
field of observation as that afforded to those who have
served in this campaign,
service could have supplied, be duly considered in the
regulation of promotion.
"That medical officers be relieved from the duties of
dispenser, dresser, and clerk, and that competent per-
acaphe appointed to discharge those functions.
' That the leave of absence hitherto denied to medical
officers during time of peace be allowed them on proper
occasions.
"That the length of time occupied in
preliminary
education, amounting in most instances to not less than
five years, be taken into account in regulating the period
of service required of medical officers previous to retire-
ment.
"And your memorialists will ever pray, &c.

The Repulse, 90, screw, is now being jury-rigged at
Pembroke, preparatory to being taken round to Ports-
mouth to be fitted for commission. She is a fine vessel,
having been built upon the lines of the James Watt,
launched at Pembroke ; and so closely has she been
built to the model of the latter that there is a difference
of three tons only in their measurement. The following
are the principal dimensions :

Anton Shurijero, a foreigner, took his trial at the
quarter sessions for the borough of Hythe, in Kent, on
the 3d inst., before H. P. Gipps, Esq., the Recorder,
for attempting to incite Christian Schmidt and Gustav
Lohinann, two privates of the British German Legion,
to desert.

Mr. Poland and Mr. Biron, instructed by Mr. Ewd.
Watts, of Ilythe, on behalf of the solicitor to the Trea-
sury, appeared for the pro.ecution. The prisoner, who
came down from. London, and who appears to be a per-
son of good address and education, speaking the language
of Prussian Poland, and strongly suspected of being a
native of Russia, was not defended ; and as neither he
nor the witness spoke English, Mr. Seeley, from Lon-
don, attended as interpreter.
The learned Recorder, in his address to the grandjury,
called their serious attention to the case by adverting to
the very grave nature of the offence at this time, when
the country required the services of every soldier sho
could obtain ; likewise to the fact that each soldier in
this legion had cost the country more than 161., and that
the practice of inducing to desert had, he regretted to
say, become frequent in the neighbourhood.
It appeared from the evidence of Christian Schmidt
that be and his comrade, Gustav Lohmann (who was pre-
vented from attending the trial by serious illness, which
was proved to the court by the evidence of the surgeon
to the legion), had met the prisoner at a public-house in
Hythe, when " be represented himself to them as a Ger-
man exile, and wished them to go to London with him,
and that once there, they would be all right."
The prisoner's defence was that he was drunk, which,
however, was afterwards disproved by his own statement
in defence.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The steam transport Urgent, from Portsmouth, with
troops for the Mediterranean, which put into Plymouth
leaky on Monday, has been under repair in the Sound.
A. quantity of coal has been taken out, and a detach-
ment of soldiers transferred to the Endymion hulk. The
Urgent was appointed to sail yesterday afternoon, but,
as the weather was stormy, it is not probable that she
will start before to-day.
The weather was thick and dirty, with a smart breeze
from south-west. The Patina was under topgallant
sails and reefed topsails, close hauled, bead about north-
west. The Charles C. Fowler was under all sail, head
south-east ; she carried away all her headgear, cotwater,
bowsprit, and forstopgallant mast; lost jib, flying jib,
and fore staysail ; split foretoprnast staysail and fore-
sail ; carried away windlass, &e., and was cut down to
the rnaindeck, taking away the topgallant, forecastle,
and deals stowed forward. In consequence of heavy
weather they were obliged to unshackle and let go 15
a.thoms of chain and an anchor, and on the 19th she
shipped a heavy sea, which washed away a large part
of the remaining deck load. September 26—Passed
the brig Vesper, of Greenock, 19 days out, from London
for St. John's, and on the 29th, the ship Hampden, of
St. John's, steering E.S.E.
The Saxon, screw transport No. 212, Robert Burn,
roaster, put to sea yesterday from Woolwich Arsenal,
for the Crimea direct, with guns and ammunition, ambu-
lance-and hospital carts, and huts, in charge of two sap-
pers, for the troops of the Turkish Contingent there.
The Amity, No. 177, screw transport, 605 tons bur-
den, and 70-horse power, arrived at Woolwich yesterday,
t ) load for the Ease.

3-yrs and upwards—for which, after deducting 20 horses
that have paid forfeit, there are 34 entries. Each day's
business is to commence at half-past one o'clock. The
best way of reaching Chantilly is to take the Northern
Railway to St. Leu. Visitors will arrive in time for the
races, by leaving Paris before 10 in the morning, and
they can return by an early hour in the evening.

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The learned Recorder (after informing the prisoner that,
although only a misdemeanour in law, the offence was a
very serious one, and that, in consequence of its being
the first conviction under the act, and the prisoner hav-
ing already been ten weeks in confinement, the sentence
would be comparatively lenient) sentenced hint to tbrte
calendar months' imprisonment, but he (the learned Re-
corder) wished the prisoner and others most distinctly to
understand that in any future conviction a much heavier
sentence would be passed, in order to make an example
of all persons in anywise found tampering with her Ma-
jesty's troops.

In consequence of some want of completeness in the
screw transport Queen of the South, that vessel did not
sail from Southampton for Plymouth yesterday, as in-
tended. It is now stated that she will leave to-day.
The William Jackson, transport No. 93, Capt. Hunt,
arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the East.
She Railed from Balaklava, July 31; Constantinople, Aug.
8 ; Gibraltar, Sept. /4 ; she did not call at Malta. She
brought 94 military invalids, all wounded men (most, of
them in the wnsuccessful attack on the Redan on the
13th of Juno), whom she embarked at Balaklava. Capt.
Tinley, of the 21st Regiment, came home in military
charge of them ; and, Assistant-Surgeon Tippetts, of the
16th Lancers, in medical charge ; Staff-Surgeon Cullen

marine station, opposite Liverpool, on the Cheshire
