GENERAL I£'l‘_ELLIGENCE

RE-CASTING or THI‘. EASTERN AND FUTURE Oi-i:itn'ioNs.—We' un stand that the Army in the East is a to receive a new organization and butioa, ivitli a view to render ' chinery more efficient and easy worked. It is the intention to div? whole Force into two Grand Di one of which is to be under the conil of Sir William Codriiigton, and the Sim,‘ under Sir Colin Campbell, with Sir George Brown to hold the supreme com. mand. The whole of the existing Divjg- ions and Brigades, as well as the General

Staff, will be newly disposed, and the en- k

tire Army remoulded on an iinpmyed plan before the next season for active operations has commenced.

Rumour, as usual, is already busy in assigning to the British Arirfy a new field of operations, and points to Asia Minor. It is said, that with the fall of Sebastopol the necessity ofretaining both the French and British Armies in the Crimea has ceased, nnd there are many excellent reasons for t_lteir being now employed on two separate services. There can be no question, that the French are perfectly well able of themselves to deal with the Russians in the Crimea, and drive them from every foot of ground in that Penin- sula. The English and Turks will, we have no doubt, close a triumphant cam- paign in Asia Minor, if there employed, and we certainly agree in opinion with those who maintain, that the expulsion of the Russians from Georgia is hardly of less importance than from the Crimea. Already Omar Paclia has, by forcing the passage of the lngoiir and marching on Kutais, virtually effected the raising of Siege of Kara, and threatened the safety of Teflis itself. Should Telfis not fall into the hands of Omar Pacliai by a for- ced march,its occupation in the next cam- paign will be rendered certain, iftlie Eng- lish and Sardinian Forces be destined for the conquest of Georgia. Time and cir- cumstances can alone determine the oper- ations to be commenced in 1856, but we feel assured, that Asia Minor will be one of the great ﬁelds on which the Czar will have to do battle for his Empire.

lNcoo.—A Pat-is correspoii- .Daily News tells the follow- ,*''it Several anecdotes are in cir- vt‘i"here in conitection with the stay of ng of Sardinia. it is said that, wish- ) escape for it while the formalities o .ourt, he left the Tuileries one evening 6 garb of a private gentleman, and in lcontpany of one of his suite walked ugh the streets ofParis. . He had not -‘pfar, before he discovered that he was uwed by two individuals. At length one he latter approached and asked the hang, who was smoking, for a light. The King lent him his cigar with a good grace, and then, turning to his companion, said, in the Piedmontese patois—“These are spies; ifthey continue to follow us I shall nock one of them down.” The two indi viduals immediately disappeared.

IMPORTANT Discovsav as Bsnvt.oN.— Col. Rawlinson has just discovered among the ruins ofancieiit Babylon an extensive li- brary—not, indeed, printed on paper, but impressed on baked brick—containing many and voluminous treatises on astrono- my, mathematics, ethnology, and severe other most important branches of know- ledge. These treatises contain facts and arguments which, in his opinin, will have no small operation on the study of the sciences to which they relate, and which throw great light upon biblical history and criticism, and the history of onr race.

The Lyons journals speak of a spectacle at once singular and touching. Eight one- handed Zouaves from the Crimea. have been seen walking in the streets, in twos, keeping together by the only arm which is left them.

In Sweden a man who is seen four times drunk is deprived of his vote at elections, and the next Sunday after the fourth offence is exposed l‘! the churcliyard.

A Bsxi.-iit.o PaiNcsss.—-'l‘lie Princess. —The Princess Christine Belgiojoso of Lombardy was banished from Austria sortie six years ago, on account of her political doings. This lady took ll p her residence at a. farm house in Asia Minor, where, being totally destitute, she was forced to labour with her hands for her very existence, in the strictest sense of the word. The Eni- peror has now been |ll(3tlSt'd to recal the lady by an edict ofgriice, and to annul the sequestration which at the time of her banishment was placed on the whole of her

property.

Mini: AND Bu'r'rit:n--—ln answer to the question, “ How much milk does it take to make one pound of butter?” :1 corres- pondent of the Agricultural Gazette states that, as the result of twenty years’ expel-- ience on dairy farms, lie ﬁnds that it takes 2 gallons 5} pints of new milk to make one pound of butter for the summer half- year, and 2 gallons 3} pints for the win- ter half-year; or, for the twelve months it takes 2 gallons 5 pints of new milk to snake one pound of butter, and 24 pints of cream to make one pound of butter. The stocks from which the experiments were taken were chieﬂy what are known -as the well-bred Irish cow. See what may done. lays the editor of the Plough- by I roper selection. Four quarts
