COLONEL EVATT'S LECTURE, We cannot allow Surgeon-Colonel EVATT's lecture, delivered to the members of the Odd Volumes Association and their friends, to pass without further notice. | It was a most effective lecture, admirably delivered, and on a subject that ought at all times to excite the greatest Interest and sympathy in the breasts of English men and English women. We sincerely hope that the distinguished lecturer will, before the close of our short winter session, arrange for a repetition of his discourse before a larger audience and at greater length. The public generally would like to hear and have explained to them the regulations now in force for the treat- ment of our wounded soldlers in the field, to
