RUSSIAN ARMY IN TURKEY.

A German Paper contains the following extract of
a letter from a medical officer in the Russian army,
dated Adrianople, Aug. 22 :—" Our hardships are
now over. In this fine fertile country all our wants
are easily supplied. Moreover, as no formidable
enemy appears to oppose us, and the worthy Osman-
lis, on the contrary, give us every where an almost
fraternal reception, our soldiers think themselves in
Paradise, whereas, last year, in consequence of the
dreadful fatigues and privations they endured, they
believed themselves on the way to the opposite re-
gion. The health of the troops is excellent. I have
fewer sick in my regiment than I have often had
under my care when we lay in the garrison of Podo-
lia in a period of profound peace. We see here an
evident proof of the influence of moral feeling on the
physical condition of the body. Our soldiers, ani-
mated by victory, and, as it were, elevated above
their former selves, have become quite a different set
of men. Strong by nature, and already accustomd
to hardships, this glorious campaign has new-tem-
pered and invigorated their minds. They even keep
watch on each other, •for the sake of maintaining
order and discipline. They say, We are going to
Constantinople, and that is worth all the wealth we
could plunder from the wretched Turks.' If they
observe one of their comrades about to commit any
irregularity, they call to him—' The Emperor and
our father Diebitsch don't like that;" and this ad-
monition seldom fails to produce the desired effect.
On comparing• our present with our previous situa-
tion, everything appears the work of magic. The
calm, strict, and yet humane spirit of the Com-
mander-in-Chief has, in fact, worked miracles.
Equally bold and discreet, he his secured to himself
the unlimited confidence of the troops. A general
emulation prevails to support the Commander-in-
Chief in his great plans. Young officers at first
complained of the delay in advancing. Experience
has, however, taught them that it was wiser to take
no step forward until everything was completely se-
cured on the flanks aad in the rear. Well assured
of the prudeuce of our General, we will be glad to
rest for a time in this second capital of the Ottoman
empire. We know, beforehand, that while here he
will riot be idle, but that he will have everything so
prepared, that on breaking up from Adrianople, we
may be in Constantinople in ten days. We are
therefore tranquil and confident, though no one can
pretend to discover the plans of General Diebitsch;
for he is extremely reserved and cautious. No one
can penetrate his intentions, far less overreach him.
We have sometimes seen men at head-quarters who
sought to approach the General with a particular
diplomatic finesse. He always knew how to treat
such persons with the greatest politeness, until at
last they found that the time for their views was
past. He has thus taught us also not to spend our
time in unnecessary formalities, but to perform, each
in his station, that duty which is immediately re-
quired of him."

DINNER TO LORD DUNCANNONe•—• Ile
evening of to-morrow will find assembled in the spirited
town of Carrick-on -Suir, the principal leading characters
within a circuit of fifty miles, for the purpose of paying to
virtuous and dikinguished patriotism the gratifying tribute
of respect—the proud rewaiid—which only could be, re-
ceived by the exalted object--or be offered by independent
and high-minded freemen. We have been favoured with
the names of some of the popular Noblemen and Gentlemen
who intend being present on the occasion, and we have
been just informed that the Member for Leicester accom-
panied by several friends, will this day become the guests
of the worthy and hospitable Catholic Rector of Feathard,
and to-morrow proceed to join the brilliant festive party at
Carrick-on-Suir.— Tipperary Free Press.

On Thursday afternoon, while Mr. CLUFF,
the landlord of the " Collingwood Arms" public-house, in
Chicken-street, Mile-end, New-town, and his family were
engagod in their business, some expert thief made his way
to the bed-room of Mr. C. in which he had deposited
100 sovereigns; these the thief possessed himself of, and
left the house unperceived.
