THE ORDER OF LANDING.

When the troops are iu the boats they will form on the
off-shore side of the ships from which they disembark,
ready to form the line abreast, on the signal being made
from the Agamemnon.

The boats are to keep a space feet clear of the oars of
each other; care to be taken to observe the signals, that
that "to form" may not be taken for "advance." All
officers of boats will distinctly understand that they are to
be on the look-out for orders and signals from their re-
spective commanding officers of their divisions, following
each other, and never proceeding in execution of the signal
until it be hauled down by the senior officer.
The form of advance will be in line, abreast, and the
greatest care will be taken to preserve the line, that no
boat advance beyond it, or fall into the rear, but all will
pull in to the shore stoutly and steadily, preserving the
strictest silence. All boats towed to land on the port side
of the boat towing them.
The divisions, as in the general regulations, will be as
follows, viz. :

First Division—All launches and Turkish pinnaces from
the sailing ships of the fleet, commencing with Britannia's
boats on the extreme right, and ending with the Diamond's
troop boats, on the left of the division.

Second Division —All paddle•box boats of the war
steamers towed by their own cutters, commencing with the
Furious on the right of the division, and terminating with
th© Fury on the left.

Third Division—All boats of the transport service, corn-
mencing with the boats of the Emperor on the right of
the division, and ending with the Gertrude on the left,

excepting the ships Monarchy, No. 60; Harkaway, 39 ;
Talavera, 93 ; Mary Ann, 42 ; Calliope, 42 ; Echunga, 44;
which are not to send boats until they are cleared of their
artillery that laud with the light division ; after which
their boats will proceed to the ships pointed out to them.
The first division will tako the right.
The third division the centre.
The second division on the left of the line.
Britannia's first boat on the right, Diamond's the last
boat on the left.

The Emperor's boat next to Diamond's, the first boat on
he right, and the Gertrude's, No. 54, the last boat on
the left.

The Furious the first boat on the right, next to Ger-
,rude's, and the Fury's the last boat on the left.

MEDICAL MEMORANDUM.
The following memorandum, issued from the office of
the Inspector-General of Hospital, is of peculiar in-
terest, containing, as it does, most minute instructions
for the care of wounded soldiers :
The ambulance equipment for one division of the army,
consisting of two brigades of three battalions each—the
battalions being 800 strong, should consist of two large
store waggons, to be under the care of a purveyor's clerk,
at the head-quarters of the division. Theso waggons to

contain a reserve supply of medicines, materials, medical
comforts, tents, and bedding. Each battalion surgeon
should have a pack horse for the conveyance of his instru-
ments, a few medical comforts for immediate use ; such as
a bottle of brandy, aslb. tea, lib. of sugar, and 4oz. of
arrowroot, a few tins of essence of beef, some medicines,
and a supply of surgical materials agreeably to the printed
scale laid down in the regulations. A spring waggon
should also be attached to each battalion for the removal
of the wounded off the field, and for the conveyance of the
hospital canteens A and B, with twelve sets of bedding,
ten canvas bearers, and the hospital marquee, on the line
of march; or, when the spring waggons are either small, or
required for the conveyance of the sick and wounded, a
reserve waggon might be attached to each brigade for the
carriage of these articles.
Canvas bearers, with long poles and shoulder-straps, in
the proportion of two to every 100 men, will also be re-
quired.
2. Before a division takes the field, the principal medi-
cal officer should satisfy himself, by personal inspection,
that the equipments of surgeons of regiments is complete
in every respect, and it would be a necessary precaution
for him to see the pack-horses loaded in his presence, as by
that means he would ascertain that no straps, buckles, or
cords were wanting.
3. When an action with the enemy seems inevitable, the
surgeon of each regiment will make arrangements for the
removal of the wounded of his corps from the field ; and it

would bo desirable for him to give instructions to the

bandsmen and others employed in that duty how to apply
a field tourniquet, how to restrain dangerous hemorrhage
until tho assistance of the medical officer on the field can
be obtained, and for this purpose a tourniquet should be
given to each party of bearers. The bearers should also
each of them carry a canteen full of water.
4. While the troops are advancing, the medical officers
will follow with the spring waggons and bearers, and any
other conveyance that is available; but when they deploy,
or form for action, all, except one medical officer per regi-
ment, will move a short distance to the rear, out of mus-
ket range, and will prepare for affording aid to the
wounded, and performing such primary operations as may
be deemed absolutely necessary. For this purpose the surgi-
cal panthers must be brought up, and instruments, liga-
tures, dressings, and cordials (brandy) got ready ; and,
above all things, an abundant supply of water provided.
For the safe and easy conveyance of which, the leather

bags or skins formerly recommended would be found most
convenient.
Dr. Hall takes this opportunity of cautioning medical
officers against the use of chloroform in the severe shock
of serious gun-shot wounds, as he thinks few will survive
where it is used. But as public opinion, founded perhaps
on mistaken philanthropy, he knows is against him, he
can only caution medical officers, and entreat they will nar-
rowly watch its effects, for, however barbarous it may
appear, the smart of the knife is a powerful stimulant, and
it is much better to hear a man bawl lustily than to see
him sink silently into the grave.
5. One medical officer for each regiment, generally the
junior assistant-surgeon, should follow the troops within
musket range, so as to be at hand to check any alarming
hemorrhage, and to expedite the removal of the wounded
off the field to the rear, and for this purpose the bearers
should be placed under his orders, and the regimental
spring waggon be so stationed as to be within easy reach,
‘,o convey them to where the surgeon and his assistants

have established themselves. The field assistant should
carry with him in his haversack his pocket case of instru-
ments, with a few ligatures ready cut, two field tour-
niquets, some lint, and two or three bandages ; and be
should be accompanied by three or four men, one with
a knapsack, or haversack, containing a pint bottle of
brandy, or some other stimulant, twenty-four bandages,
half a pound of lint, three sponges, six long and six short

solid splints, two old sheets, cut into quarters before
starting, for the purpose of rolling fractured limbs in, and
so preventing them from sustaining further injury on the
men's removal from the field. This is best accomplished
by placing the old linen under the limb, and rolling the
splint up in it from the outer edge, and rolling towards
the limb on each aide, and then nearing the whole with
two or three bands of tape. In this way Dr. Hall thinks
medical officers will find they can temporarily secure frac-
tured limbs better, and much more expeditiously than in

REALTII OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

_ -
(Frovi ae Report of the Registrar-General. )

In the seven days extending from the third to the
nintli of September the deaths of 3,413 persons were re-
corded; and 2,050 of the number were caused by
cholera; which had, in partial eruptions, all o6v4e4r,
729:
Lon-
don, destroyed in nine weeks 5, 26, a
847, 1,287, 2,050, or, in the aggregate, 6,120 lives. The
outbreak began later than in the corresponding. out
break of 1849. which by the same date bad in 16
weeks
been fatal to 10,143 persons.
Will the epidemic pursue its ravages ? will it observe
its own times, disregard the seasons, and exact its full
tale of vi ctims ? Such were the questions that were
asked—with no little anxiety—by those who watched
over the public health during the last week ; and the
answer, not withstanding the losses that are recorded,
is on the wh.ole satisfactory.
The deaths from all causes have fallen from 3,413 to
2,836 in the week. The deaths from cholera, instead of
2,050, are 1,549, or 501 less than the deaths from the
same cause in the preceding week. The total deaths in
the present eruption have been 7,669 ; in the eruption
of 1849 the deaths by cholera up to the same date,
within one day, were 11,825. In both of the eruptions
the mortality was highest on nearly the same day of
September ; its decline commenced in the corres-.
ponding week ; and we may now sanguinely hope
that it will descend as rapidly as it did in the autumn
of 1849.
But no exertion should be spared to save the thou-
sands whose lives are still threatened ; and the dread
lesson, before regarded so little, should never be forgot.
ten—that men can no longer drink polluted water,
breathe impure air, neglect sanitary measures year after
year, with impunity.
