his evidence a tone Of doubt as to whether he
can obtain the information required. Fertu-
nately, however, for himself, he is convinced
that for the moss part officers are much
Of o muchnees,n and be is content to
take them as they come, except for very special
service. He allowed that the abolition of
Purchase had diminished iueficiency and
slackness, as he could now menace an officer
with the loss Of his promotion, but the tendency
was to be " extremely cautious " il reporting
dcmerit.
The crisis in Seryia is still delayed, but the
grounds for hope are very slight. Tchernayeff
still holds Alexinatz, and is f~ortifying Deligraa
behind him, and is said to dispose Of 70, 900
men. They are, however, chiefly Militia, unac-
customed to regular warfare, and apt to be
paniG.stdkeu by the shells. On the other
hand, Eyoub Pasha and his RUSSIAN adIatus
are using iheir troops as if they were shells,
are splendidly seconded by their men, who
show all the contempt of death natural to Mus
sulmans, and have, by the latest accounts, car
ried height after height till they are touching
AIexinatz, the loss Of which must either end the
struggle or convert it into a guerrilla war. The
conduct Of the Turkish regulars explains the long
duration Of the Empire they serve better than any
amount Of historical disquisition. Half paid,
iIi-led, and badly differed, they viii still go
forward under fue with the courage of English
men or Germans, and their success shows that
the employment Of BoSbi Bazouks is for militia
ny purposes entile'y needless.
The rumouls Of mediation have died away
under the sound of the cannon, but j is evident
that they viii revive at once if Alazinatz falls.
The Gear even now can hardly hold in the Rus
slams, and if be wishes to avoid Intervention
must mediate, either directly or through Italy.
The dit1icu ly is to settle terms, as the Con.
tinent still appears convinced that the British
Cabinet will reject any terms except the sfatgs
quo ante 6elluD2, and both st, Petersburg and
Vienna are well aware that this means onIy an

The evidence of the Duke of Cambridge
before the Royal Comsission on Promotion
admits practically that the system in future
must be seniority tempered by reflections. The
whole body of the army dislikes selection, and
distrusts the confidential reports upon which to
q great extent selection must be based. Some
commanding officers contract preiudices. some
make favourites. and to all the order to tell an
officer that he has been reported on unfavoura-
bly, seems to be a severe trial of forti-
tude. The Commander-in. Chief almostimplores
General officers to aid him in this matter,

said the essential facts were already
in the hands Of the examining com-
mittee. All the church has to do is
to demand, them from the committee.
As long as the church refuses to hear
what it has in it's own hands il ia
