Sebastopol, January 1, 1856.

My Lord, -I have the honour to enclose Dr. Hall's
weekly report, dated 31st December, 1855, and have
great pleasure in calling your Lordship's attention to
the very satisfactory state of the general- health of this
army, whieth is therein detailed.—l have, &o ,
(Signed) W. J. CODRINGTON,
General Commanding.
The Lord Paumnre, Bre.

Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea,
December 31, 1855.

Sir,—l have the honour to reiy-xt the weekly state of
sick to the 29th instant. The health of the army con-
tinues very satisfactory ; there is an absence of serious
disease, and although the admissions under the head
chest affections and frost bite are uumerow, it is sat►s-
factory to know that the former are, for the moat part,
inerely simple catarrhs, and the latter plight vesications
of the flogev., toes, and tips of the ears. The few se-
rious cases there are were all occasioned by exposure
when drunk.

The Land Transport Corps does not enjoy the same
health that the troops do, and more than one-half of the
deaths which have occurred during the week have taken
place in that corps alone. Under the head of fever, one-
third of the admissions and two-thirds of the deaths were
in the Land Transport Corps ; that is 65 out of 182 ad-
missions, and 11 deaths out of 15, leaving only four for
the whole Army, which is as great an exemption trout
serious febrile disease as can welt be expected.
The diminution of bowel complaints in the Army
is equally remarkable, and here again three out of tis
seven deaths which occurred took place in the L tud
Transport Corps. It is difficult to account for this
disparity of health between this corps and the mili-
tary, as they are as well fed and clothed as the sol-
diers, and of late they have certainly not been over-
woi ked. Numbers of men have recently joined the
corps, and as they get better organised matters will
daubtless improve. Neatly one-half of the force is corn-
posed of natives, riot of the Crimea, but of Asia Minor,
and other places, and they bear the winter ill.
The following abstract shows the admissions and
deaths dining the week, and those during the previous
week _ . _
