BRITISH ARMY.

The Moniteur contains the following exceedingly
graceful compliment to Lord Raglan and the Bri-
tish army :
Every one has remarked the terms in which Lord
Raglan points out the part taken by our generals and
soldiers in the victory of the Inkerman. This testi-
mony, so spontaneously rendered to our arms by so
competent a judge as the illustrious general, to whom
the gratitude of the British Government has just awarded
tie highest military dignity, is too glorious for our army
for us not to reproduce the very expressions made use
of in the report. "I am proud," writes the General-in-
Chief, "of the the opportunity of bearing testimony to
the valour and energetic services of the French troops,
and of paying a tribute of admiration to the distinguished
conduct of their immediate commander, General Boa-
gust, while it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to
place upon record my deep sense of the valuable assist-
ance I received 'front the Consmander-in-Chief, General
Canrobert, who was himself on the ground, and in con-
stant communication with me." The French reports, en
their side, do not less strongly point out the heroic and
unshakeable firmness with which a fraction ef the Eng-
lish army victoriously supported for several hours the
shock of an enemy so superior in numbers. The mere
we become acquainted with the details ef that day the
more do we think ourselves founded in regarding it as
one of the Most glorious in military history. It is,
in
fact, stated that at the commencement of the battle the
English fought with the numerical inferiority ef one
against seven, and that at the end of the day, when the
arrival of the French troops decided the ♦ictory, the
proportion was still one against four.

THE FRENCH COALVINDER-IN-CIIIIIP.

General Canrobert's powers as Commander-in-Chief
of the French army of the East have received a further
extension as appears by the following note is the
Meniteur :
The Emperor, in his solicitude for the army which
combats so bravely under the walls of Sebastopol, has
not confined himself to delegating to the general com-
manding-in-chief extraordinary powers to fill up the va-
cancies of officers up to the rank of chef de bataillon or
chef il'escadron inclusively. His Majesty, considering
that it would enhance the value of any recompense to
have it conferred on the field of battle, at the very mo-
ment of its beiag merited, has, on the proposition of the
Minister of War, also authorised General Canrobert to
make nominations in the Legion of Honour of the
grades of chevalier and officer, and to award military
medals.

ROYAL SOCIETY.—We understand that Lord Wrot-
tesley is proposed as the new president, in place of Lord
Bosse, who retires ; and that G. Gabriel Stokes, M.A.,
of Cambridge, is proposed as the new secretary, in place
of Professor Christie, retiring.
