THE ARMY.

The prisoner Thomas Tole, 7th Fusiliers, who is
still under confinement at Chatham garrison await-
ing his trial for deserting to the Russians during
the war in the Crimea, will be brought before a
general court-martial as soon as the authorities at
the Horse Guards have been furnished with the re-
quired particulars connected with the transaction.
The statement which the prisoner is alleged to have
made is that he was taken prisoner by the Russians,
and that he did not desert. He states that when
he was taken prisoner he was in the ravine under
the heights of Inkerman, with a comrade of the same
corps, named Moore, and that they were both con-
veyed to Sebastopol, where his comrade soon died.
Tole states that he was afterwards sent prisoner to
St. Petersburg, but that he refused to be exchanged
with the other prisoners, remaining in Russia till
the termination of the war.
Yesterday the whole of the metropolitan divisions
of the enrolled out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital
were out training. On Thursday they commence
battalion drill previous to the general inspection on
Saturday, when the veterans will be dismissed to

their homes.
Yesterday contracts were issued by the War-
office for the construction of a new range of bar-
racks on the western heights at Dover, to be exclu-
sively devoted to the married soldiers quartered
in
the garrison contiguous to the barracks. Laundries
and spacious out-offices are to be constructed.
Assistant-Staff-Surgeon T. Ryan has been ordered
to be relieved from duty at Fort Pitt, Chatham, for
the purpose of joining the 6th Foot.

the first Welsh regiment embodied for permanent
service during the Russian war, when, out of a
quota of 328, it gave 184 volunteers to the
line. Though billeted upon innkeepers in the
town there has not been a g
sinle complaint against
the men. This corps several times volunteered for
foreign service during the Crimean war, and, not-
withstanding the number contributed to the line in
proportion to its quota, is at present 63 over its
strength. It is understood that the Lord Lieutenant
will apply to the Secretary of State for two addi-
tional companies.

[ADVERTISEMENT).—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
For all skin diseases, however inveterate, these medicines
are a sovereign remedy. While the ointment passes through
the pores of the skin, as water saturates the soil, or as salt
penetrates meat, the pills act upon the blood, which they
correct and purify. The whole physical machinery is thus
rendered healthy, regular, and vigorous. Tho cure thus
effected is not partial and temporary, the disease is entirely
and for ever driven from the system, and the patient need
not be apprehensive of its return. As these medicines have
no violent action, they do not necessitate any interruption
of ordinary avocations. They are composed of rare bal-
sams, and may safely be gives to young children end deli
