DRESS OF OFFICERS IN THE ENGLISH
ARMY IN THE EASr.

Lord Raglan has issued the folllowing memo-
randum :
" VARNA, JULY 15.—The Commander-in-Chief has
noticed with great regret the very unbecoming manner
in which the officers of the army dress them elves. He
:loes not now refer to their mole of dressing out of uni-
form, because that has been entirely forbidden, and he
has no reason to suppose that his orders in that respect
are disobeyed ; but he now desires to draw attention to
the style of dressing when in uniform. The sword may
be worn, the jacket may bc the regimental jacket, and
the cap may be the uniform forage cap, but such want
of care is shown in wearing the uniform in a becoming
manner, that it is difficult to recognise the officers in
some cases as officers at all. Toe shell jacket is
allowed to fly open, showing underneath a red flannel
shirt, with nothing round the neck, not even a white
shirt collar. Often a turban is worn over the forage
cap, the chin unshaven, and there is such an absence
of what is befitting the appearance of an officer in the
whole person, that no one could be otherwise than
struck with the general disregard of what is proper.

" Under these Ctircumstancesthe Commander of the
Forces calls upon the officers of the army themselves to
correct this evil. He does not desire to insist that their
j ickets should always be buttoned from the bottom to
the top, but he does hope that, having as much regard
fur • good appearance in uniform as they would have
out of uniform, they w'll bear in mind that the uniform
.:irected to be worn ought to be put on with care
and attention, no meter in what country the army
r nay be serving. nor what the service may be in which
the army happens to be engaged.
"The Commander of the Forces requests general offi-
cers to make known these ooservations to the officers of
their divisions and brigades, and he expects from the
officers themselves an answer to his remarks in the
change which wall be made by them in the style of dress-
nig.— By order. "J. B. B. ESTCOURT, D.A.G."

FEELING IN GERMANY WITH REGARD
TO THE WAR.

We receive the following in a letter from Ko-
nigsberg, of July 2G :—The sentiments of the
citizens and the leading merchants become daily
more hostile to Russia, and upon every occasion
manifest themselves in the most open manner. In
the maritime provinces of Prussia as much interest
is felt for the success of the allied fleets and army
as at Paris and in London. The humiliation of
Russia is a source of satisfaction which is truly na-
tional, and great joy is felt at the approach of the
time when Germany will have a share iu the claims
which France and England possess upon the grati-
tude of Europe.

COUNCIL OF RUSSIAN GENERALS.
A communication from Bucharest, of the 26th
July, says :—General Liprandi has protested
against any diminution of his corps, which is barely
able to meet the expec ed attack of the Turks.
I.eneral Budherg has called the Russian general
'4-Beers together to con-ult respecting
the best
course to be taken, and it is believed that a second
retreat will take place. The greatest uncertainty
prevails, and all sorts of rumours are in circulation.
