THE ARMY.

The officers belonging to the depots of the various
Indian regiments quartered at Chatham garrison
are to be instructed in escalading operations by
the officers of the Royal and Indian Engineers, in
order that they may be enabled to instruct the
troops belonging to their respective regiments.
Orders have been received at Chatham for the
following medical officers, who have been for some
time past performing medical duty in the military
hospitals at that garrison, to proceed to the camp at
Aldershot, to join their respective regiments :
Assistant-Surgeons W. John,
29th Regiment ; G.
Simon, M.D., 32d Light Infantry; G. L. Hinde,
41st Regiment • W. Cherry, 45th Regiment; W.
M. Calder, 49th Regiment ; G. H. Finlay, 55th
Regiment; F. W. Wade, Ist Battalion 60th Rifles ;
and F. S. B. F. de Chaumont, Ist Battalion Rifle
Brigade. Assistant-Surgeon E. G. Ley, M.D., 21st
Fusiliers, has received orders to proceed from
Chatham to Shorncliffe, and Assistant-Surgeon W.
Stewart, M.D., 47th Regiment, to Dover. The
whole of the medical candidates for commissions in
the Indian army, having completed their curri-
culum of education at the Army Medical School,
Fort Pitt, and passed the competitive examination
for commissions, have quitted that establishment
on leave of absence, prior to being gazetted to
various regiments. Twenty additional medical
candidates will join the medical school on the Ist
proximo, to undergo the usual course of education.

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—A trifling change from
the original
position has been made in the Cambridge crew.
Mr. W. H. Tarlton, of St. John's, is rowing No. 3, Mr.
Coventry, of Trinity Hall, 5, and Mr. Callings, of Trinity,
6. The crew are to take their last row on the Cara to-
morrow, and then immediately repair to Putney,

" Gentlemen,--I have the honour to submit to
the Chamber of Deputies the bill by which the
King, our august Sovereign, assumes for himself
and his successors the title of King of Italy. The
• emotion which this proposition excites, the applause
with which it has been received, loudly proclaim
that a great fact has been accomplished, and that
a new era begins. It is a noble nation which, '
through adverse fortune and its own errors, had
fallen into a state of abasement, and been trampled
under foot and scourged for upwards of three
centuries both by foreign and native tyranny ;
it now, invoking its right, rises again, renovated
through a magnanimous struggle which has lasted
three years, and declares itself in the face of the
world. It is this noble nation which, having

The Nazione of Florence publishep an Address,
signed by upwards of 1,000 women of the lower
orders of Pisa, and addressed to King Victor Em.
manuel, in which " echoing," as they say, the words
of the Countess Montemerli, they declare that "at
any price, they must have Venetia ;" and that " for
so noble a eause, they will send their brothers,
their sons, and their husbands to a final conflict, in.
order to drive the despotic oppressors from
the sacred soil." Among the women who
have signed this Address there are the wives
of many soldiers decorated by Napoleon 111. during
the campaign of 1859. To this Address, Chevalier
Nigra, in the King's name, has replied as follows :

" Turin, eb. 4.
" Madame—His Majesty has received the Note
and the Address which you have sent him, and
is convinced that the patriotic sentiments which
characterised the Italian women of former days are
not unknown to those of the present, who take so
active a part in the grand work of national inde-
pendence, the completion of which is the ardent
desire of every good citizen. His Majesty com-
mands me to thank you for the generous and
patriotic sentiments which you have expressed to
him in the name of the female inhabitants of the
town of Pisa. In acquitting myself of this mission,
believe me, &c.,

General Turr has addressed to the municipal
Council of Kecskemet (Hungary) the following
letter :

TO TUE MIINICIPALTY OF THE TOWN OF KECSKEMET.
Gentlemen,—Receive my sincere thanks for the
honour which you have done me, and of which the
journals have informed me. The remembrance of
which one's native country gives proof towards her
proscribed sons is the highest reward that these
can desire. In naming us—my brothers in exile
and myself—among the men in whom you have
confidence, you have proved that, on the one hand,
you are the faithful guardians of the national dig-
nity and right, old as a thousand years, and that,
on the other hand, the Magyar emigrants have dis-
charged their duty. The faith—that brilliant star
which has never suffered itself to be eclipsed while
we were pursuing the darkest paths of our exist-
ence as proscribed men—the faith of again seeing our
country in all its glorious vitality—sustains me
more than ever. Europe—everything announces
it—will before long find herself again converted on
the field of battle. A most important part awaits
there our country. Let us beware of following a
wrong course. The Austrian Government is en-
deavouring to induce one to believe that her highest
care for the last twelve years had been to find the
means of making the Magyar nation happy ; it
would fain persuade itself that the feasts, the ox
roasted whole, and the revels of the coronation
constitute the ne plus ultra of our national require-
ments,visit epevernftcsualltyiotnootfhme
aroyal
palace aofßn,d idai that
alreadyaa asu ta
condescension. Let us awaken it. If it kaeps
silence on the events very recently past, it is for
us to come to the succour of its modesty. The
Diet ought to make it understand that the
cloak of St. Stephen himself is not large enough
to conceal from view the agonies and palpable
humiliations into which the peoples of Hungary
have been plunged day after day for eleven years
by the supporters of a usurping system. To
guarantee the union of races, behold what ought to
constitute the chief object of our solicitude. Let;
smiling perfidy succeed in embroiling us with
our natural allies. Let us reject the apparent
favours of a sinister afterthought, that might be
offered to the prejudice of our Croatian brothers.
Let the promises, the presents be subjected to a
severe scrutiny by us as well as by the Sclaves and
Roumanians, who are our fellow-countrymen. In,
short, when looking at the policy of the Divide ut
imperes, let us rally all the inhabitants of our
[Hungarian] country, without exception of race or
religion, under the sacred flag of complete civic
equality and liberty. It is on this condition alone
Hungary will become great and the nation happy.

LAME RTlSEMENT.l—Holloway's Ointment.—Head's
Action.—The slightest irregularity in the heart's :function
is felt throughout the entire system; any obstruction to the
regular impulse of that organ must be removed without
delay or the whole circulation becomes disordered ; palpi-
tation comes on, to be succeeded by dangerous faintness,
In a multitude of cases these symptoms arise from
a stomach distended by flatulency, and are cured
by rubbing Holloway's Ointment over the pit of the
stomach and right side, and occasionally likewise over tire
heart and chest. It speedily relieves the harassing three-
bing pulsation. Holloway's Pills should be taken at the
same time to remove any accumulation from the alimeatarY
canal, and to carry off any noxious mattg from stgraach,
liver, bowels, or kidneys.

THE SIIN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1861.

THE ESSAYS and RETTEWS have been elevated
to such notoriety by Archbishops, Bishops, Convo-
cation, and an army of clergy, that it seems hardly
possible for a journalist to be silent respecting
them. Like all the rest of the world, we have
read them, and we have read them carefully too
—how could we help doing so after they had been
honoured with an Episcopal salute from the whole
Bench. True, like other salutes, it was but burn-
ing powder; not a shot of argument was fired from
any of the six-and-twenty pieces; still, the mere
explosion of fifteen, ten, five, and two thousand
pounders in such numbers could not fail to compel
attention, and we attended. Others seem to have
done the same. The publishers cannot supply
editions fast enough. Mr. MUDIE has, it is said,
4,000 copies in citculatiOn; and still has to send
away customers with the answer that all are out.
If the authors desire a pecuniary solatium for any
censures they have incurred, that they assuredly
have received, and will yet receive. It would seem
indeed, that if any book, newspaper, or periodical,
desired to increase its circulation tenfold, it could
not do better than compel the whole Episcopate
to give it a broadside. Now the honeymoon is
over, that happy, united pair, The Star and Dial,
may thank us for the hint.
Our / eaders will not expect us to enter into the
theologiciai controversy, hardly even to state our
impressions of this remarkable work. We may,
however, observe that it is one in point of style,
taste, scholarship, and, general ability every way
creditable to the authors, who, with one exception,
are clergymen. When seven gentlemen make up
by their contributions a single volume, with the
distinct avowal that each is responsible only for
the part to which he puts his name, diversity of
thought and of literary merits is of course to be
looked for ; but we are bound to say that whether
the intelligent reader concurs with any of the
writers or differs from him, there is not one of the
Essays which he will not read with pleasure ; and,
what is more, there is not one from which, unless
theology be his profession, he will not gain some
valuable hints. It surely is not necessary that we
khould be ever reading or hearing in theology
any more than in Art, Science, Literature,
tr politics, precisely our own views. So far as
Religion is a matter of the understanding, it can
!never be intelligently realized, except through the
liarne process which clears and strengthens our
*lotions and convictions on other subjects. We
!must confess that these seven Essays are more cal-
ca lated to stimulate religious thought amongst
fair-1y educated persons than seventy times seven
ammo, such as we hear from the Bishops who
lienonnce them, or from the great mass of gentle.
*ma who believe themselves changed from simple
laymen into successors of the. Apostles by the touch
Mpisoopal. We intend, in saying this, no disre-
fsPeet to the useful labourers, who do their best for
the many, and who feel it to be their duty not to
tax on the first day of the week the brains of those
wh 0, after six days' manual labour, or worry of
the counter or counting-house, want some-
thing as easy as the catechism. But the thought-
ful, and intellietaal have their claims also;
and if they are rarely indeed satisfied in a sermon,
grtage them satisfaction in a book.
it is not fair to
ir we may be judges of what intelligent persons,
who make no pretensions to more than ordinary
require, it is just such a
knowledge of theology,
book as this. A book, which written throaghout
in a re
verential, religious, and Christian spirit, yet
discards .the conventionalism of the Steeple-House
and tells us the thoughts of
an.d convibutiele alike,
men
who swear by no human authority net even
by athat of the Church.
It ;s but fair that we should notice, howevefithe
treatment which the book has received. The facts
Pr* have meiationed show that it has been as effee.
