Mclllree's services. —I have, Ic.,

Head quarters, Camp, Crimea,
April 7, 1-356.
Sir,—The sanitary condition of the army in the Crimea,
as exhibited by the accompanying weekly state, is very
satisfactory, and no disease of at,y marked or peculiar
character exi is in any of tka
Chest affections continue to be of frequent occurrence,
and this we must luok for until mild weather sets in, and
then fevers will in all probability replace them ; as yet
winter cannot be said to have ended, for on the 3d instant
we had 'one of the most furious snow storms that we have
experienced during the whole winter. It commenced
about eight in t►te morning and continued until after mid-
day. The Third Divis:si, which was out on parade
marching exercise, was overtaken ny it, and experienced
its full violence. Several men suffered from its effects,
and one man, a young lad of the 44th Regiment, died of
cold and exhaustion.

The ratio of sick has not increased this week, but its dis-
tribution is altered in consequence of the batteries of Artil-
lery, and battalions of Land Transport attached to divi-
sions, being returned with their respective divisions, in-
stead of being returned as separate and distinct corps, as
they have hitherto been.
The general health of the Laud Transport Corps con-
tinues gradually to improve, and in addition to the de-
crease of numbers in the Head Quarter Hospital Returns,
from transfers to divisions, the mortality is less and the
form of fever now prevailing amongst the men much
milder than it has been. More attention is paid to the
personal cleanliness of the then, and to the whole interior
economy of the corps than used to be done, which the in-
creased number of officers recently added to the corps iu
all its grades admits now of being effectually carried out.
The hospital establishment has benefitted in common with
the rest of the corps, more huts have been built, the
drunken negligent Regimental Hospital Orderlies have been
replaced by men from the Medical Staff Corps, and within
the last week six nurses, under the superintendence of
Mrs. Stuart, have been added to the orderlies.
Of the 17 deaths which occurred during the week, eight
were from fever, two from ap plexy, the result of intem-
perance, three from diseases of the lungs, one from the
effect. of frost bite, two from injuries, one in a man of the
11th Hussars, who was thrown from his horse, and ano-
ther, a man of the Land Transport Corps, over whose head
a cart wheel passed. The 17th man belonged to the Army
Works Corps, and is returned as having did of gangrene.
The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been
2.32 per cent.
De ,the to strength 0.02 per cent., sick to well 3.98 per
cent., all of which I consider remarkably low ; much lower
than we can reasonably expect them to continue as the
spring advances.—l have, Sta., J. HALL,
Inspector-General of Hospitals.
General Sr William J. Codrington, K.C.8.,
Commanding-in-Chief.

Enclosure 2.
Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea, April, 8, 1856.
Sir,—ln reply to your query of this morning, I have
the honour to inform you that First Class Staff-Surgeon
Mclllree arrived at Scutari on the 4th November, 1854,
and served in the General Hospitals there until February;
1856, when be came to the Crimea. He was anxious to
have served in the Crimea at an earlier period, but Dr.
Cumming, Inspector-General of Hospitals and Principal
Medic .1 Officer at Scutari, wiote to me to say that he
found him so efficient and useful in the hospitals that he
could not spare him, but trusted it would not militate
against his future prospects:

Mr. M`Dlree entered the service in February, 1835, ob-
tained his Surgeoncy in December, 184 and was pro-
moted to his present rank in October, 1814.—1 have, &c.,
