My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit to your Lord-
ship a letter of this date, from Dr. Hall, enclosing a
weekly return of the sick of the Army, up to the 31st
ultimo.
Your Lordship will see, with satisfaction, that the
general health of the Army continues steadily to improve.
I have also to submit to your lordship, with reference to
your despatch, No. 22, of the 26th February, the copy of
a letter from the same officer, on the question of accom-
modation for wounded men, on the event of any sudden
emergency occurring.
As the ships referred to by Dr. Hall are constantly on
passage, and might all be so at the time they might he
wanted for the wounded, I proposed to Sir Edmund Lyons
to have some sailing vessels got read the
their
following t
ports are under preparation ;--Orient, Sir George Pollock,
St. Hilder, William Jackson, and Poictiers ;—and it is
calculated that they will hold from 100 to 150 men each.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA. : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F B. COURT EN &I',
Member of the Royal College of surgeons of Englsnd.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture durine the last twenty years has d, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contcmpora-ies. It is, therefore, no
mater of sm wise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous a'id skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of Instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. ,'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res .iect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
rester confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Nl ed i cal C ar.

Enclosure 1.
Before Sebastopol, April 3.
My Lord,—ln transmitting the weekly state of sick to
the 31st March I have the honour to state, and I am sure
it will bo pleasing to your Lordship to learn, that the
general health of the Army continues steadily to improve ;
and although fevers and bowel complaints continue to pre-
vail, they are both assuming a milder character, and the
latter are of much less frequent occurrence.
During the present week the admissions to strength have
been in the ratio of 3.93 per cent.,
and the deaths to
strength 0.38 per cent.
Last week, the admissions to strength were 4.35 per

during the week.
Fever continues to prevail in some particular regiments
more than in others ; but I am in hope change of locality
will correct this.
The comforts of the men are greatly improved in every
respect, and it is evinced by their cheerfulness and more
healthy appearance.
The rations are good and abundant, the men are
well clothed, and due attention is paid to the sanitary
condition of the different camps. The supply of water is
ample at present, and melns are being adopted to insure it
in future, by constructing new tanks, cleaning out those
that already exist, and digging fresh wells.
Indeed, so far as the physical wants of the men are con-
cerned, I am of opinion the force is an well provided as
any army can resonably expect to be when employed on
active service in the field.
The hospitals are on a respectable footing, not crowded,
and amply provided with all that is necessary for
the comfort and welfare of the sick ; and if the casualties
of war do not fill our hospitals, we may faiily look forward
to have a diminished sick list in future.
But should the chances of war unfortunately produce
wounded, I calculate we shall be able to accommodate
1,400 on shore, and arr.angemeilts are bei:alumade for the
reception of between-$3O and 600 on board ship, which I
sincerely trust will be more than sufficient for our wants.—

inroads of ruthless time has been most successfully supplied ty

markable than hnoortant to thousands who have experienced its
powerful effects in encoursgimr or reproducing a fine growth of hair.

Enclosure 2.
Before Sebastopol, March 23, 1855.
reference to the question of accommodation
for wounded men in the event of any sudden emergency
arising, I have the honour to state, for the information of
the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, that in addition
to the accommodation which the regimental establish-
ments of the divisions in front will afford—say from
250 to 300—I propose to occupy thirty of the new
huts in rear of the 3d Division, at present in posses-
sion of the 14th and 39th Regiments, which would
afford comfortable accommodation for 480 ; and as
these huts are built on dry, elevated, clean ground,
with water not very distant, I calculate thirty more of the
huts might be given over in case of any very great emer-
gency, and the troops put under canvas, which
would
afford room for 480 more. At the Sanitarium at Bala-
klava. I calculate on accommodation for 200 wounded, in
addition to the convalescents there at present, when the
huts now in course of erection are completed.
From the crowded state of the general hospitals at Scue
tari, the length of time they have been occupied, and th
amount of fever that has prevailed iu them of late, I am
most unwilling to send wounded men there if I can possi-
bly avoid it ; but should necessity compel us to resort to
that measure, the

Steamers are already fitted as hospital ships, and would
be capable of transporting, with easo and comfort, 620
wounded.
The hospital establishments at Smyrna, Abydos, and
Gallipoli are full ; and as typhoid fever is reported to
have made its appearance in the hospital at Smyrna, it
would not be desirable to send wounded men there during
its continuance.
If compelled to form another hospital establishment out
of the Crimea, I should suggest, from what I have heard,
that Sinope be selected. I speak from hearsay, for I have
never been there myself, but perhaps the Cornmanderomin
Chief might be pleased to have it surveyed by some c-
petent person, and a report made of its capabilities.
Our accommodation for wounded, taking minimum
numbers, will therefore stand thus :

Before Sebastopol, April 7.
My Lord,—Some interchange of troops has taken place
since I addressad your lordship on the 31st ultimo.
Battalions and considerable convoys have entered the
town, and other bodies of troops have been seen to leave
the north side. The garrison has been constantly engaged
in adding to the works, and particularly in connecting the
the
rifle pits in the immediate front of our right attack ; and,
as we have pushed forward, the fire upon our advance has
occasioned more loss, I deeply regret to say, than we have
sustained since the sortie of the 23d March.
Lieutenant Bainbrigge, of the Royal Engineers, was, I
lament to have to add, killed on the morning of the 4th
bursting
of a shell.
April, whilst in the execution of his duty, by
He was a young officer of much promise, and though he
had not long been here, he had acquired the esteem and
good opinion of his brother officers, and his loss is greatly
deplored by all.

TIIE IMPERIAL VISIT TO THE CRYSTAL

PALACE.

[ADDITIONAI, PARTICULARB.]

. The whole length of the nave was carpeted with red cloth,
the rich colour of which seethed to lengthen the interior and
give, additional - elevation to the . lofty transparent roof:
Though rather early in the season, there *as a magnificent
display of flowers arranged in marble vases round the fowl-
taini,, c,.forined. in banks of variegated colour below the dais,
or eleverly disposed in plots within the recesses 'of 'courts to
take the visitors by surprise on exploring them. The dais
in the Centre .transept *as a well-proportioned structure,
having a flagstaff twined with bays and bearing the flags of
kngland and France in its centre. Projecting from the bal-
cony of this transept, on its garden front, a canopied stage
had been prepared where the Royal and Imperial personages
might present theinselves to the spectators assemble& in the
grounds beneath. A new arrangement of the statues, orange
trees, and stale, left-th,e noble vista.of the nave unbroken.by
any obstruction. The plants were in the finest order, and
even the most delicate Of them appeared to have suffered
little from their first winter spent in the Palace. Among the
flowers were rhododendrong, azaleas, cam double tulips,
-geraniums, Persiau lilacs, and hyacinths, all in- the frcthest
bleom,•aud splendid water plants 'floating within the marble.
basins, among which may be distinguished the -youug leaves.
of the Victoria Regia. Whatever could offend the most
fastidious eye had been earefulli c4incealedy hien 03
covering with green calico the -.great rough ' weeden
boxes in which the orange trees stand. In short,, within
and outside the building more perfect arrangements
had been made 'than were practicable last year. ; and
the effect of the tout ensemble was charming
.in the extreme.
Every day it becomes clearer that the garden inside will even-
tually be the chief attraction, subordinating to itself all
others, yet rather adding to than diminishing their intrinsic
interest. The unfurnished look which many portions of the
building had at first is gradually disappearing, an&tho eyO of
spectator is stimulated to a keener appreciatiOnof individual
objects by the influence of others, though of a different `char
ratter, in close proximity to them. • Mr. Owen Janes, has
nearly finished the decoration of the Hall' of the Abeneerages,-
the last of -his-Alhambra restoratibni. . 'Mr. Digby Wyatt has
also put many, finishing touches
,to •his courts, and a rapid
survey of the building induces us to hope that the exhibitor's
department may yet be established on a satisfactoiy basis.
Altogether, although still far from complete, this great enter-
prise is now in a state which fully justified the Queen in, tak-
ing her Imperial guests to visit it.
The Queen took the arm of the Emperor, while Prince
Albert gave his to the Empress, and thus followed by their
suite, they proceeded to make the tour of the building." Pass-
ing around by the-screen of English Kings and Queens,. the
strangers paused for some time to survey tle extent of the
nave, and were evidently lost in admiration at the coup d'cril
which it presented with the sunlight pouring a flood of radi-
ance over every detail of the perspective. Thence they pro-
ceeded along the side of the crystal fountain to the Pompeian
House,' which they . entered and examined minutely. It
'had been fitted up for the occasion with extraor-
dinary skill and care, the tables • being covered by
fine copies 'of antique, statuettes, and . the variegated
marble basin of the enter apartment being filled with water,
in which gold and silver fish'disported themselves. Proceed-
ing along the nave, the next point to which the august party
directed their attention was the French Court, in which some
fine tapestry and Sevres vases, the property of the Emperor,
are displayed. In this court there is also an excellent show
of bronzes by Barbedienne, and some tastefully-designed
jewellery, by Rudolphe, of Paris. The other specimens of
French manufacture exhibited here are for the most part of
a very inferior character, and it is to be hOped that this fact
'brought within the personal observation of the Emperor may
induce our neighbours to send to the Palace a more worthy
representation of their industry than it at present possesses.
Passing across the French Sculpture Court, the Queen and
her guests entered the area of the great transept, the magni-
ficent proportions of which seemed greatly to surprise the Im-
perial visitors. Here their Majesties recognised and for some
moments entered into conversation with his Grace the Duke
of Devonshire, who was the only person not connected with
the building 'present on this occasion. Perhaps it is incerrect
to say that the Duke is not connected with the Crystal Palace,
for he has been a liberal contributor to the collection of plants
which adorn it, and his munificence has fostered and deve-
loped the genius of the man to whom all its grandest effects
are due.

From the centre transept their Majesties proceeded to the
baleony overlooking the Terrace-gardens, and there, on pre-
senting themselves in front of the canopied stage prepared
for them, a spectacle occurred which will not readily be
.effaced from the minds of those who witnessed it. Upwards
of 20,000 well-dressed people were assembled in one great
mass upon the terrace, and, at soon as the Queen and her
guests appeared, cheer after cheer rose from them with a
vol,unee and fervour which were quite overwhelming. Their
Majesties, crossing the centre transept, now entered upon a
survey of the Architectural Courts' commencing with that of
Egypt, and passing round in regular succession through the
whole series until they found theraSelves in the Modern'
Italian. The Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Alhambra Courts
were explained by Mr. Owen Jones; the Assyrian by Mr.
Ferguson ; and the Byzantine, Mediaeval, Renaissance, and,
Palladian by Mr: Digby Wyatt. In the course of so rapid a
survey their Majesties.had not probably time to do much be-
yond catching.the general character of each school of art ; bet
it was obseried that several objects seemed to attract their
attention particularly.. The facade formed by.figures in re-
lief of Rameses the Great, bearing as the insignia of sove-
reignty the crook to protect the virtuous and the flail to cas-
tigate the criminal among his people, first engaged marked
' That the me-rid-of the temple of Abit-Shnburwas
examined, with the same Rameses upon its portals, tenderiug
the emblem of truth as the most acceptable offering to the
God of Light, the supreme deity of Egyptian mythology-
The august party remained for some time in the Alhambra
Court, in the splendid decorations of which the Empress ap-
peared to take special interest. The restorations of Assyrian
architecture were also examined with much curiosity, and the
effigies Of kings and queens in the Byzantine Court were at-
tentively surveyed.
Their Majesties now retired. When the royal party quitted
their apartments and advanced up the nave, they were re-
ceived with deafening cheers, and the speetAele presented in
the interior at this moment was strikingly animated. On
reaching the centre transept they diverged to the left, and,
once more taking up their station in the balcony overlooking
the park, the upper series of fountains began to play. This
feature of the Palace and its grounds, so long looked forward
to, was at length more than realised. The effect exceeded
everything that could have been anticipated ; and the illus-
trious visitors—the Empress especially—gave free expression'
to their gratification and delight. What strikes one most on
a first view of this hydraulic display is the admirable har-
mony of detail which pervades it. The fountains lylve evi-
dently been designed as parts of a consistent whole, and in
this respect they already possess a conspicuous superiority
over anything of the kind in other countries. In the centre
jet of one of the loftiest of them yesterday a rainbow was
finely formed. When the lower series is complete we shall
have added to the other attractions of Sydenham one which
it is to be hoped will insure its success as a commercial under-
taking. The manner in which, thus far, Sir J. Paxton has
carried out his hydraulic designs is an ample guarantee that
he will fully perform all that still remains to be accomplished.

THE CONCERT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
(Prom the Court. Newsman.)
Her Majesty the Queen gave a concert at Buckingham
Palace in the evening, to which a party of about 500, com-
prising the Royal family, the diplomatic corps, and foreigners
of distinction, the ministers and officers of state, and ladies
and gentlemen of the court, and a large circle of the principal
nobility, were tnvited.
The Royal Closet, White Drawing-room, Saloon, Ball-room,

the reception, and were brilliantly lighted with crystal lustres
and ormolu chandeliers, while the different recesses were de-
corated with beautiful flowers and plants.

under the command of Capt. Macdonald, the Egon in Wait-
ing Sir Geo. Lee, the Lieutenant, and Colonel Fitzmaurice,

Lady Anna Maria Dawson and Sir George Couper), their

Mary, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, ar-
rived at a quarter before 10 o'clock, and were conducted to
