THE ARMY.

There was a grand review on Friday, before
General Lord Seaton, of all the troops—nearly
11,000—encamped at the Curragh of Kildare.
About a week ago the number of the regiments was
augmented by the addition of the Scot Greys and
the Scots Fusilier Guards, which marched up f • rom
Dublin, encamping at Blessington on their way.
The Greys now occupy tents at the eastern extre-
mity of the camp. It is likely that other regiments
will be added, and that in the course of a few weeks
the strength of the forces will be augmented to
nearly 20,000 men. The various troops which will
be thus collected are not all to bo permanently sta-
tioned in the camp, but it is understood will remain
there during the summer months in order that they
may be perfected in drill and accustomed to move
in large bodies together. The infantry encamped
are the 76th, 55th, 2d battalion of the 16th,
2d battalion of the 14th, 2d battalion
Scots Fusilier Guards, 18th Royal Irish, and
Lincolnshire and North Staffordshire Militia
Regiments. There are two troops of Horse
Artillery, two troops of Sappers and Miners,
and a battalion of the Military Train. The only
cavalry regiment is the Scots Greys, bUt the Ist
Royal Dragoons and the sth Lancers are at New-
bridge. A review will be held for the future on
every Thursday.
A dispute has arisen between the military autho-
rities and the Board of Guardians at Chatham rela-
tive to the manner in which lunatic soldiers who
have become inmates of the asylum, Fort Pitt, are
discharged from that establishment as paupers, and
allowed to become chargeable to the parish in
which Fort Pitt Hospital is situated. For some
time past the military authorities have been in the
constant habit of getting rid of those insane sol-
diers who are incurable and without friends by re-
moving them from the hospital and turning them
into the streets of Chatham, the parish authorities
having previously received intimation of the place
and hour at which they would be released from
military control, in order that, under the existing
statutes, they might make arrangements for ap-
prehending the lunatics sp discharged, and re-
moving them to the workhouse, where they,
of course, become chargeable to the Board of
Guardians. In consequence of repeated instances
of the kind having recently occurred, several re-
monstrances have been addressed by the guardians
to the military authorities, but without at all
checking the practice complained of. Under these
circumstances the Board of Guardians have had the
matter brought before the authorities connected
with the War Department, who have taken the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown on the sub-
ject, the result of which has been that the law
officers give their opinion that, under the existing
Acts, the military authorities are fully justified in
the course they have adopted. As the mainte-
%wee of so large a number of lunatic military
paupers entails a considerable expense on the union,
steps are about to be taken to bring the subject
before Parliament with a view to remedying the
evil.
The first portion of the volunteers from several
of the Militia regiments at Aldershott to the Royal
Marine Light Infantry arrived at head-quarters,
Chatham, on Friday evening, when 48 volunteers
joined that division. About 50 more are expected
to arrive to-day.
Col. Congdon, Woolwich division of Royal
Marines, has been granted two months' leave of
absence from duty, to recruit his health. Accord-
ing to the last monthly return received at Wool-
wich the nwnber of recruits enlisted in the four
divisions of Royal Marines is as follows :—Wool-
wick division, 354; Portsmouth, 435; Chatham,
199 ; and Plymouth, 291.
In consequence of the present pressure on the
Storekeeper's Department of Woolwich Arsenal in
the shipment of war stores the whole of the la-
bourers were retained on overtime during the usual
half-holiday of Saturday. Various ships are like-
wise being laden with military clothing.
Major Hawkings's field battery left Devonport
on Saturday for the camp at Aldershott. They
were appointed to rest the first night at Ashburton,
and will probably reach their destination about the
14th inst.
By a return of all persons entitled to medical at-
tendance, not including contractor's meu, in Wool-
wich Arsenal, it appears that the establishment has
considerably increased during the past month. The
total number of civil and military officers, masters,
foremen, artificers, and labourers, amounts to 8,818
persons ; and the medical department consists of
only one surgeon, one assistant-surgeon, one dis-
penser, two assistants, one surgeryman, and one
book-keeper.

THE MILITIA.
The Leicestershire Militia (numbering 900
strong), under the command of Colonel King, are
now in course of training on the race-course, Lei-
cester. The men assembled on Thursday. The
volunteer non-commissioned officers (serjeants and
corporals) have been undergoing a course of in-
struction from the adjutant and staff in the new
manual platoon exercise for the last month at the
magazine.
The Denbigh Rifles assembled at Wrexham on
the 22d of June. The muster was a good one. The
number of men present is 430 ; quota, 465. They
are drilled daily in eight companies.
The 3d Royal Westminster Re'iment,,, of Militia
is under orders to assemble at Turnham-green on
Friday, the 15th inst.

[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 phYeral ma-
chinery is thus rendered healthy, regular, and vigorous.
The 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 neces-
sitate any interruption of ordinary. vocations. They are
composed of rare balsams, and may safely be given to young
children and delicate females.

Kossuth, having arrived on the 22d at Genoa,
proceeded on the following day to Turin. All along
the way, on every station, a crowd of Italians assem-
bled to cheer him ; a convoy of Hungarian prisoners
met him at one place, and, recognising the great
leader of their country, shouted their elans. At
another place a wounded Italian broke through the
crowd ; he had belonged, in 1848, to Colonel Monti's
Italian Legion in Hungary, and wished to express
his delight at seeing once more the arms of Italy
and Hungary joined. At Asti the military com-
mander himself acted as fugleman to the cheering
multitude. At Alessandria Kossuth had to addresP,
the crowd in Italian. After two long interviews
with Count Cavour at Turin, the Hungarian exile,
in company with a confidential friend of the Sar-
dinian minister, set out for Parma, to the head-
quarters tof Prince Napoleon. Up to Stradella,
where the railway communication comes to an end,
the same scenes of enthusiasm were witnessed as
on the road to Turin ; but here, of course, the
Italians lost his trace. When he P.rrived after mid-
night at Piacenza, the guard at the gates received
him with a blurt, " Che diavWo fate cosi tardi."
He could quietly go to a hotel without being recog-
nised. At breakfast, hov,vever, the waiter brought
the foreigners' book tr, get the names of the guests
inscribed, and see,=,ng the name " Kossuth," he
rushed out of tte room like a madman. Not five
minutes passrJd, and all the thirty thousand inhabi-
tants of Piacenza knew it already, and, as if called
togethev: by an alarm bell, they rushed under his
wmd,s)ws and shouted their vivas with the heartiest
goe,dwill. The mayor and the municipality
P.ppeared in his room to offer their compliments
and their services. Montanelli arrived, the re-
spected late Minister of Tuscany, who lost his arm
in 1848, fighting at Curtatone for the liberty of
Italy. The room is soon overcrowded with visitors.
Kossuth must take a drive with them, but as
he comes down the stairs the crowd rushes to
him, kissing his hands and garments, the horses are
unharnessed, the Italians drag the carriage along ;
thousands and thousands , follow, flowers are
showered from the windows, and with all the en-
thusiasm of renascent liberty the population lavishes
its caresses on the stranger whose name is connected
with liberty, and therefore is taken by them for a
pledge of their own freedom.
At two o'clock p.m. Kossuth arrived at Parma.
The town was gaudily adorned in expectation of
the arrival of Prince Napoleon. Kossuth's com-
panion having been recognised by some Italian
standing before the hotel, he asked, " Count
Cavour ?" Kossuth said " No," when suddenly the
eye of the Italian lighted up, and he began to shout
" Kossuth ! evviva Kossuth !" In a few minutes
all the town was alive with the news ; the crowds
assembled outside the hotel ; the visitors thronged_
the parlour; and a guard of honour was placed be-
fore the door. The governor of the province in-
vited him to his box in the theatre, which Kossuth
of course declined, since it was Prince Napoleon
who had to receive the ovations of the people on
that day, and Kossuth would not divert the atten-
tion of the Italians.

In fact, if sympathy alone could save Hungary,.
it would already be safe. But of course the libera-
tion of a country requires something more. On the
28th Kossuth set out for tha headquarters of Na-
poleon, provided with letters from Count Cavour and
Prince Napoleon to the Emperor.—Daily News.
