THE Qnsmi ro xns ARMT.—The new General Commanding-in-chief bas, in the name of the Queen, issued the following general order.

"Horse Guards, August 5.

"The Queen, having completed the review of the regiments which served in the Army in the East, has commanded his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-chief to welcome their return from that arduous service.

"Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to express her admiration of their good order and discipline.

"Victorious when opposed to the brave and enterprising enemy with whom it had to contend, the Army has earned the gratitude of the country. "The patient endurance of evils inseparable from war, and an instinctive determination to overcome them, are characteristic of the British soldier; and the events of the war have proved that those national virtues have not degenerated during a long previous peace. "The Queen deplores the loss of many of her best officers and bravest men; but history nill consecrate the ground before Sebastopol as the grave of heroes.

"By order of his Royal Highness, the General Commanding-in-chief, "G. A. WErannAtt, Adjutant-General."

THE CRIMEAN CHAPLAINS.—Our readers may remember that Sir De Lacy Evans prominently brought the case of the Crimean Chaplains before the House of Commons, and received from Lord Palmerston a reply that he deemed satisfactory at the time. Nothing, however, seems to have been done for men who endured so much. One of them says, in the Times " We, the officiating Chaplains sent out by Government, are also discharn„ d with the same gratuity that a Militia officer, who has been playing at soldiers at home, has been )udged worthy of. If, indeed, others are like myself, I can deeply sympathize with them.; for I can with difficulty. find an employment winch 'will give me a bare in the church to which I

belong With impaired health and wasted energies, I, with others, who have indeed broken our connexion at home, are daily looking out with anxiety for the postman to bring us a letter which will consign us to a curacy of 80/. or 100/. per annum The neat and pleasant and very comfortable living. of Broadhempstone falls vacant ; the Crown has it in its gift. Oh, luck for some Crimean Chaplain Here is one glorious opportunity for the honourable and noble Lord the Member for Tiverton to give his saying deed.' The appointment is at length made, and the claims of a Tiverton gentleman are paramount."

Tuesday's Gazette stated "that the Queen has been pleased to grant ante the Reverend Gilbert Frankland Lewis, M.A., the place and dignity of Canon of the Cathedral Church of Worcester, the same being void by the death of the Honourable and Reverend James Somers Cocks, late Canon thereof." [The new Canon is the brother of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.]
