There is, we believe we may aver, but one feel-
tng throughont the United Services (
always excepting the
"yal
Artillery,
whose members are, as they have good season
!la he, well satisfied with the preference they have ,•xperieneed)
on the subject of the Report of the Naval and Alilitary Com-
mission. The expression of disappointment, nay, even disgust
to both the Army and Navy, exceeds arything we ever re-
member to have met with before. The only branch of the
services that professes the slightest satisfaction with its recom-
mendations is the Royal Artillery.— United Service Gazette.
