It is stated by the Dublin Evening Mail that many of
the Irish Militia regiments are likely to be left as desti-
tute of medical care as the unfortunates of the army at
the seat of war. Several corps, it is said, have been
unable to procure assistant-surgeons, and it is added
that the surgeons of others will resign as soon as the
regiments are fairly embodied. The cause of this strange
state o •
f affeirs is attributed to an old source of public
mischief—viz., pinching and misplaced economy in small
matters,while reckless and prodigal expenditure in
