TUE MT—MOMS& 41. ..... Mi. Oa. 11-essar•—mougas, lin........Atbwrese. 11. 31a. LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25. Tim defects of our English Army have of late been painfully obtruded upon public notice. Some of them are perhaps the inevitable coosrquemoss of a long peen, °then appear to have deeper roots. The in adequate education of the staff, the disposition of all ranks to rest satisfied with doing simply what they are ordered and their helpiessness is emergeocies, the want of doe orgenisalies--reederieg it almost impossible to bring home to any individual the guilt of the grossest oversights, have expand our soldiers to gnat sufferings, and, pal:spate greater mortifies hoes. But the cool indomitable valour which, in the event of sudden unforeseen attacks, has enabled our soldiers to keep their ground against outnumbering foes, and the habits of discipline and subordination which have not once given way under the most pro tracted sufferings, prove that the Army I. sound at heart. The system cannot be utterly bad under which each virtues have been developed and when we look back to the events of the last twenty or thirty years, it is easy to see to what we owe the high qualities which have been evinced by all ranks in the Army. During that time much has bees duos--at first by individual efforts, and latterly by penal regulations—to establish and promote regi mental schools, regimental savings banks, regimental libraries, and various institutions which, for want of a better term, we shall call regimental benefit clubs. Many of these institution have been worked by the privates and mon-oommissiond alms, and their wives, with the al-operation and advise d olleses and their wives. By their mean the provident habits of the soldiers have bees developed, and feelings of mutual affection and esteem between them and those is command over them fostered. Mash no doubt remain to be dose tomato Bngliah soldiers all that could be wished, but it will be coubseed by all whet know them that, as award with the sol diets of the first years of the century, they have probably made greater denies than any clam in Biegiand. Nor is the improvement confined to the privates sad nos-commirdoned dicers. There an still too many frivolous and musiseting holders of sommiseises, but in seamy regiments the efforts of the eniends have been sneesedal in introducing a seen manly and refined tan, sad in awakening a *hit of professional study. The task ,that has de- volved upon the Legislature and the WarDepartennt, by the universal demand for Army Esteem, is sot to begin the work, bet to any en a work whisk is @l ndy in minas, with very sessuragisg results. It is, perhaps, is the higher administration of the Army that meet remain to be dons.: Yet even there considerable progress has been made within the last deans months.

Tito following appears in the Gera* Olenlie :do Teheran, of Dee. 9 : 44 It appears, from authentic intelligens. received by the government (Persian) from Khorasan, that the Emir Dost Mahomed Khan, order of Hemel, having, at the instigation and with the aid of him neighbours, taken up ems against Kandahar, has beams master of that province, and intends to advance upon Herat, for the oospeest of that country. The Persian government, in order to maintain tran quillity In the interior, and especially in the proving of Khorasan, believes it to be its duty to protect the independence of Herat from all attempts on the part of the sovereigns or masters of Haboul, Kandahar, and other countries. According to the accounts received by our government, the projects and ants of the Emir Dost Makomsd Khaa do net at all so& respond with his resources, espesially when such an enterprise is known to be against the wish of our government. Agreeably to the submission which Dost ?debased Khan has up to this moment assumed to us, he cautious to feign that he only desires the conquest of Herat 1 bat his tree projects tend only to foment a strong agitation and various troubles in the province of Khorasan!), and, perhaps, even in Biloochistan,Kerstan, and the neighbouring asset:lse. Our government, therefore, cannot rest an indifferent spectator of such an agitation opoa its own territory, and it is indispensable, in order to defend our pro vinces and frontiers, to send troops to Herat to pro tect it from the attempts of the Emir Dost Mohamed Khan, and to maintain in that province the rights and authority of its sovereign wad new political ar rangements are made. This act of the Persian go vernment does not, however, modify in aoy way its neutral position as to the Allied Powers, and it will continue to maintain this neutrality inviolate." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE CONFERENCES. TRIB DAY. AND aILITIIN (11/111 CIVIL PARIS. MONDLT, HALT-PAST a VOLoca. The Conferences opened at one o'clock this day, all the Plenipotentiaries being prompt.: The lat ter arrived at the place of the sitting without formality and in their ordinary dress. The rips mutative of Piedmont was the first, and the repre sentative of Russia the last to arrive. Compara tively few persons had usembled to me them enter. We (Post) are informed that the Co uterine's, which meet this day at coos, will probably begin with the choice of a President. This choice, it is pretty certain, will fall on Count Walewski, as it is usual to elect, as President of Conferences, the Foreign Minister of the country in which they are held. The arrangement of precedency will be settled by the alphabetical order of the names of the countries represented. It we. proposed originally that each Plenipotentiary should be accompanied by his secretary, bat we understand it is now determined that noes but Plenipotentiaries shall be present, except the "Director of Protocols," which important trust will be confided to M. Benedetti, late French Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, a gentleman of distin guished talent Everything will be conducted with the strictest sway, so mach se, that we believe it is intended to record, in the very first protocol, the solemn promise of those present sot to divulge what asses. It is a scarce of mesh gratification that we shall not be held long in suspense; nor will vital quakes be deferred till after the disoundoe cif less ateassitone points. For it is understood that the seder of the prepositions bee been inverted, and that the filth will be the first to be entered upon. In this case, therefore, if the inten tions of Ruda be as sincere se our owes, the decision of peace or war will not be keg delayed. It is, how ever, to be expected that, before coming to the several points, and the matters involved in them, an anakitia by land may be agreed upon, the blockades by sea still being kept up.

The greater number of the Imperial troops withdrew to the Russian territory, when the hills and valleys of the conquered country became covered with snow. A brigade of the 18th division of infantry remains in garrison at Ears, and a detachment continues to soupy Ardaghan. The districts recently sabmitted to Russia are now tranquil, bat an insurrection of a rather serious character broke out recently at Ghoel, situated to the north of Kars. It seems that Asian Praha and his brother Iser-Bek, assisted by a party of 400 men, incited the inhabitants to rise, and occupied the villages of Ileinot, Khorovanha and Toboul•Penek. They were, however, unexpectedly attacked by three winks of Cossacks with four rocket batteries, and defeated. The insurgents (says Le Cessoase) left sixty deed in the square of one of the villoges, and four were taken primers. The Oesseeks had (of douse) bat owe man killed and four wounded. This affair occurred on the let of Jan. The Christmas Wes and New Year's-day (Jan. 13 with the Russians) were celebrated with much pomp by the Russians at Ban. On New Year's-eve, Colonel Loris-Melikolf, chief of the government, in vited the ruffian and &mien functionaries, as well the members of the Ottoman Court of Civil and Cri minal Justin, to a sapper, and the repast was pro longed to midnight.

(riot ova ows CAKP, SEBASTOPOL, Pas. 12. • Yesterday, precisely at 1 o'clock p.m., Fort Alex ander was exploded into ruin by the French engineers. I This work, which was immediately opposite to Fort I Constantine, and commanded the approach and entrance to the roadstead, was second only in extent and importance to Fort Nicholas, on the south side. It was constructed of stone, and calculated to mount ninety guns. The day was by no means so favoura ble for witnessing its destruction as it was on the °Evasion of the blowing up of Fort Nicholas. A tolerably stiff breeze was blowing from the westward, and heavy masses of grey and inky clouds were rising from the horizon, and sweeping rapidly over the plateau. The sun was quite lost to view. The water of the roadstead, and the sea as far as the eye could reach, were enveloped by a thin mist. The north shore and heights, as well as the batteries and forts, were much obscured from the same cause, and appeared more distant than usual. The day before j they had seemed remarkably near, owing to the transparent clearness of the atmosphere. It was evident, from the limited number of spectators who assembled on the hills above the town. either that the intention of destroy ing the fort was not generally known, or that the raw chilly weather had counterbalanced the curiosity of officers and men off duty. The groups collected on Frenchman's-hill and Cathcart's-hill were very soialloompared with their number when Fort Nicholas was blown up. From neither of these points of view, nor, indeed, from any part of the English position, could a general observation of Fort Alexander be obtained. From certain spots, in clear weather, a spectator, familiar with all the objects about Sebas topol, could just distinguish part of its outline, but that was all. The difficulty of discerning this fort arose not only from its low position on the sea-shore, being close to the water's edge, but also from the number of buildings which were interposed in the higher to of the town. Without, therefore, being able to fix the sight on the work itself, the attention of each spectator looking towards the direction io which it was situated, and anxiously expecting the explosion, was excited, just at the time fixed, by a sudden outburst of grey-white smoke, which rapidly broke into two columns. One rose almost perpendicularly upwards; the other bent towards the eastward. While watching these volumes of smoke, unfolding and expanding, there cams the report of the exp. Unlike the dull, distant sound which accompanied the springing of the mines by which Fort Nicholas was destroyed, the report of this explosion was intensely loud and sonorous, was accompanied by a violent agitation of the air, so that a strong concussion was produced against the huts and buildings in the camps, and was followed by a grand roll of echoes like a peal of thunder. This had scarcely died away, when a second mass of dense, almost black, smoke, roes a little to the westward apparently of the first explosion. The dark colour of this cloud formed a striking contrast with the light grey hue of the former columns of smoke. It maintained this deep tint even after it had risen and expanded to a very consider able extent, and when the first cloud of smoke had become almost dissolved into thin vapour. The report which followed the explosion was not quite so loud nor the shock so violent as that of the ose preceding. Then a third broad curling cloud was men proceeding from the same neighbourhood— not so dark in colour as the snood, but darker than the first—ead alter this had rime to a certain height in the air, it wee caught by the west wind, and driven, in company with its fellows, to join the low vaposry clouds which everywhere covered the.sky, and were hastening by to the eastward. The violence of the concussions caused by these three ex. plosions, and the loud reports, roused all the pram in the camps, and both officers and men came running in crowds to the crests of the hills to gain a view of what had happened. The effect of the explosion was not visible at such a distance. The appearance of Sebastopol has been very mach changed Loco the disappearance of Fort Nicholas. The dome of the cathedral, and the roofs of use or two of the larger buildings, are now the most conspicuous objects. It is said that all the mines necessary for destroy. leg the Quarantine Battery, and various public works and buildings still remaining is the par of the town and fortifications entrusted to the keeping of oar allies, are needy finished. Between three and four o'clock p.m. of the same day, the English engineers destroyed, by a succession of explosions, all the groups of buildings, some of them rather massive in character, which occupied the area comprehended within the enclosure formed by the Barrack, or Whits Buildings. It is ex pected that the whole of these buildings, together with the terrace in frost, will be blown up in the course of the week. The terrace, which is faced by a very highly finished wall of compact ma sonry, has been a week of great labour. On the low ground in trout are the fonndations of the new Admi ralty buildings, which were in progress prier to the brealdog out of the war. They are also oa a mini fiord scale. The whole of these works are to be broken up and destroyed. TSB "INDEPBNDANCE BBLOR."
