THE ARMY.

A divisional inspection took place at Dover on
Monday, on which occasion the manoeuvres of a de-
fence of the Castle on the east, or land, side were

gone through by the Royal Artillery. The inspect-
ing officer was Gen. Maunsell, the commandant of

,he south-eastern district, accompanied by the adjt,

gen. of the district, Col. Taylor; the Assistant-
Quartermaster-Gen., Major Campbell ; Major Fos-
ter, Aide-de-Camp; Major-Gen. Craufurd, the com-
mandant of the garrison , Col. Cuppage, R.A., Col.
In glefield, R.A., Major Field, R.A., Brigadier-Major
Jones, and a number of other officers. The inspec-
tion of the troops took place at the new practice
ground at the rear of the Castle, where the 47th,
under Col. Kelly, the 60th Rifles, under Col.
Sir J. Jones, K.C.8., the Royal Artillery, and
Royal Engineers were drawn up. At the conclu-
sion of the inspection the infantry regiments.and
engineers executed some manoeuvres and marched
past, after which the artillery, under Col. Ingle-
field's command, manned the guns of the castle and
opened fire on the eastern face in resistance of a
teigned attack. The rapidity of the discharges bore
testimony to the efficient manner in which the guns
were manned. The guns fired from were 8-inch, 42,
32, and 18 pounders. The shot practice was made
in the direction of the Channel—where a target was
was placed—and for this purpose one of the guns
on the summit of the keep-turrets was brought into
requisition, the rest of the guns being stationed at
the east battery, the East demi-battery, and the
Shoulder of-Mutton battery.
The entire force of the depot of Royal Artillery,
together with the dismounted batteries of the 4th
brigade, forming a body of 2,300 men, were yester-
day drawn out in columns on the parade, between
the artillery-field and the barracks at Woolwich,
for the purpose of undergoing the half-yearly in-
spection by Gen. Dacres, commanding the garrison.
The general and staff, consisting of Lieut.-Col Ken-
nedy, Lieut.-Col. Gardiner, Major Shaw ,brigade
major of the garrison), Major Reilly (aide-de-camp)
and Staff Capt. Forbes, have been occupied during
the past week in inspecting other portions of the
garrison, and they went over the offices and quar-
ters belonging to the depot on Monday, and yester-
day inspected the above-named batteries, minutely
examining their arms and accoutrements, and look-
ing over the contents of their packs, laid down for
the general's inspection at their feet. The inspec-
tion commenced at 2 o'clock and terminated at 6.
The remainder of the garrison will be similarly in-
spected in detail during the remaining days of the
week, when the report will be forwarded to H.R.H.
the Commander-in-Chief, and according to the re-
sults already obtained the report will be extremely
favourable.

Professor Langenbeck, the eminent Prussian sur-
geon, who is at present on a visit to this country
and engaged in inspecting the Government hospi-
tals, visited Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, on Mon-
day, and was conducted over that establishment by
the principal officers of the medical staff now at
head-quarters. On Monday evening the professor
was entertained at dinner at Fort Pitt mess, on
which occasion all the medical officers of the garri-
son, both naval and military, were assembled to do
honour to that distinguished surgeon.
The following circular memoranda, signed by Sir
James Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant-General, have been
issued from the Horse Guards :
" Commanding officers of regiments serving
abroad are desired to make known to the men under
their command, and commanding officers of depots
will also understand, that non-commissioned officers
coming home for discharge, either at their own re-
quest as an indulgence, or on claiming it on com-
pleting their limited term of service, if allowed to
alter their mind and to continue in the service, can
only do so as privates, unless vacancies for non-
commissioned officers exist at the depot ; the vacan-
cies with the service companies being filled up at
head-quarters on the departure of those sent home
for discharge."
" The General Commanding-in-Chief, in concur-
rence with the Secretary of State for War, desires
that schoolmasters be allowed to take out of the
military libraries, without payment of fees, such
works of reference as they may require to assist
them in preparing lectures for delivery to the
troops ; the schoolmasters being held strictly re-
sponsible for the safe return of the same."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
LEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

In the week ending Saturday, September 22, the
deaths registered in London were 1,016. In the 10
years 1850-59 the average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding with last week was 1,152, but
as the present return is for a population which has
annually increased, the average with a view to com-
parison should be raised in proportion to the in-
crease, a correction which which will make it 1,267.
If the deaths from cholera in the 38th week of 1854
are eliminated from the calculation, the comparison
will show that the deaths in the present return are
less by about 100 than would have resulted from the
average rate of mortality at this season of the year.
The births last week exceeded the deaths in the
same period by 654.
_ _ _

Smallpox exhibits a low mortality ; last week the
deaths from it were only 3. Diarrhoea was fatal in
64 cases, the average of corresponding weeks in the
last 10 years (1850 59), corrected for increase of
population, is 95. Of the 64 deaths from this dis-
ease all except 10 were those of children. The
death of a girl, aged 10 months, is referred to cho
leraie diarrhcea. The deaths from measles were 42;
in the previous week the number was 36. Scarlatina
was fatal in 44 cases; and six children died from
diphtheria. A boy, aged five years, died at Guy's
Hospital from locked jaw, the result of an injury.
Five deaths occurred from burns and scalds, of these
three were those of children. Three infants and one
adult were suffocated. Of four nonagenarians whose
deaths are recorded in the week the eldest was a
widow, who had attained the age of 93 years; the
other persons died at the respective ages of 90, 91,
and 92 years.
Last week the births of 859 boys and 811 girls, in
all 1,670 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850 59
the average number was 1,607.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29 542 in.
The lowest barometrical reading was 29.30 in. on
Tuesday, the highest 29.88 in. on Friday. The
mean temperature of the air in the week was 55.0
deg., which is 0.9 deg. below the average of the
same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). The highest pointed attained in the
week by the thermometer in the shade was 68.0
deg. on Thursday ; the lowest was 42.8 deg. on
Wednesday. The entire range of temperature in
the week was therefore 25.2 deg. The main daily
range was 13.8 deg. The mean temperature of the
water of the Thames was 57 6 deg. The difference
between the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 2.7 deg. The mean degree of
complete saturation being
hu-
midity of the air was 92,
represented by 100, which point was attained on
Saturday. Rain fell on every day during the
week, with the exception of Thursday ; the total
amount was 0.80 inches. The general direction of
the wind was S.W.
