DEPARTMENTAL ORDERS.

SCUTARI, Dec. 30.—The undermentioned ships (steamers)
having been named for the conveyance of sick from Balak-
lava to Scutari, and the Inspector-General of Hospitals at
Head Quarters having nominated the officers named as a
permanent medical staff on board each vessel, these
officers are warned to hold themselves in readiness to
embark on board their respective vessels, for the duty re-
ferred to : _ _

Melbourne.—Sacend-class Staff Surgeon Rutherford;
Assistant Staff Surgeons Lane and Sheehy.
Australian.—Second-class Staff Surgeon Moorhead; As-
sistant Staff Surgeon Ancell.
Sydney.—Second-class Staff Surgeon Donnell ; Assist-
ant Staff surgeon Hooper.
Brandon—Second-class Staff Surgeon Wishart ; As-
ssi ta nt Staff S urgeon •Palilogus.
The Inspector-General at Head-quarters has requested
the Principal Medical Officer "to impress on the officers
in charge the necessity there is of their being vigilant in
the discharge of their duty in every respect." "They will
soe that the sick are properly put up, their food of good
quality and properly cooked, and that they receive any
medical comfort which may be ordered for them ; they will
pay attention to the cleanliness and proper ventilation of
the skip." In this respect strict attention must be given
to the detailed instructions laid down in her Majesty s re-
gulations.
The medical officers will be furnished with medical
journals, printed monthly and weekly states, as well as
Forms Nos. 1 and 2, for medical comforts, which will be
carefully examined on the arrival of each vessel, to see
that the expenditure of medical comforts corresponds to
the entries in the medical journals. Each Staff Surgeon,
2d class, must provide himself with a case of capital in-
struments, his own property, but a medicine chest, and
such medical and surgical appliances as may be deemed
necessary by the medical officer in charge, and approved
by the Principal Medical Officer, will be supplied from the
apothecaries' store, as well as a complete equipment of
purveyors stores and an ample supply of medical comforts.
Amongst the purveyors stores a slipper bath will be in-
eluded if possible.
Each transport carrying sick or wounded from Ralaklava
to Scutari will be visited by a Staff Surgeon of the first
class, as soon as possible after the arrival of the vessel,
before the sick or wounded be landed.
This medical officer will make a written report to the
Principal Medical Officer of the state ho found the sick
and wounded in, and whether in his opinion due attention
had been paid to them during the voyage. Until further
orders First-class Staff Surgeon McGregor will attend to
this duty.

The Earl of Clarendon arrived in town on Saturday,
from his seat, The Grove, Herts. The French Amhas•
sailor visited the noble earl after his arrival at the
Foreign-office, Downing-street. _ .

EXTRAOTIDINARY LANDSLIPS.—A few weeks since we
noticed that a large portion of the Ebbw Vale iron-
works, Abesycban, had descended into the vale be-
neath, carrying with it a great number of large tim-
ber trees and stones of several tons weight. There
have since been several other slips, and there is r o
doubt that the remaining portion of the mountain
surface will follow. Men are at present engaged in
digging the trees out of the earth where they lie near
the surace. A large oak, formerly growing on the sum-
mit of the mountain, came about half way down when
the first slip took place, and remained there for several
weeks, but with the subsequent slips it has found its
way into Mr. Roger Newell's garden, at the base of
the mountain, where it is now standing as firm and up-
right as though it had ever grown there. The pressure
of the earth that has come down is so great that it has
forced up the floor of the cottage in which Mr. Roger
Newell resides, although it does not reach so far as the
building by some few yards. It is sad to contemplate
the thousands of tons of loose earth lying in a heap
above the house in so insecure a state, threatening
every moment to come upon the dwelling and bury its
inmatoo.
