such a rehrenos, not /or the gradfleatke of OM a philosophical curiosity about a remarkable character ; bat far strictly practioal porpoise which mown m all. The awarding of a tsatimealal to the national besefactress, the raising aid the applkatina of the Nightingale Fund. are matters which ioneWn us all, and which await be andintood withoat a akar understanding of Miss ter and present position. Her conduct has been steady, serious, rational, and respectful from first to last. This is one of the things that everybody has the mesas or twain/"by in unlimited amount of testimony. We know that die has been silent on dogmatic wooers., while etoeminc on " the weightier matters of the law—jetties, rimy, and faith." Koowing that the needed work could be done by earnest disciples of every creed, and could not be got dose if the disciples fill out by the way, she has been silent with the taigas while elo quent in good works. like has attended on all ministrations when her presence was de sired, and did not interfere with a more mew lug duty. BIN has procured Catholic books for the Rumania, Calvinistic books for the Independent, Chunk books for the Charekmaa ; and oho has indeed so managed that every sufferer dm siring religions consolation has had the Chapel administered to him in the taupe in which he was born—brought to him is the form of household association sod familiar comfort—without a taint of proselytism to distress him I. his boor of weakness. And shall we not follow the example which we see to have succeeded so well P Shall we not ass, in our far swim tub, the methods by which she has, while healing the sick, awed the prefabs, strengthened the weak and impatient, and brought back many a sinner to the better mind of his youth P Her example might be a sullitisat lesson to us to unite in the great work of helping bee without intro dui.' any topic of dimeasion : but we are tempted to cite a parable bearing on the esse—a parable which the elderly monition may have been OCalsionally reminded of since FLORENCE GALE sailed for the East, bat which is hardly suffi ciently known to the young, and is by no mesas oat of date lot any of es. In "Evenings at Rome there is a story of Dr. Amu's, the melodies of which we cannot resist quoting. A Sunday morning is a town is described with its chiming bells, its trains of worshippers entering the churches and every kind of chapel—Romanist, Quaker, Methodist, and Baptist. Then, when the bells have ceased, there follow the solemn organ and the murmur of the responses in one place; while elsewhere there are the slow psalm, the single voice in p - eyer, the tinkling of the little bell here, and the Quaker silence there. A boy who mks his father why these worshippers thus part off, is told that " Religioa is ems el the things in which sea are weds to difer." But next : —" The several congregations sow began to be dis missed, and the street was spin overspend with penis. of all the different mote, going promiscuously to their respective homes. It chanced that a poor man fell down in the street in a fit of apoplexy, and lay be dead. His wife sad children stood round him crying and lamenting in the bitterest diet:see. The beholders immediately flocked Woad, and, with looks and wpreesiew of the warmest waspassioa, gave their help. A Churchmen raised the man from the resod by lifting him under the aims, while a Dimmer bald his head, sad wiped his lass with a handkerchief. A Roman Catholic lady took oat her. smelling-bottle, and assidwiely applied it to his nose A Methodist ran for a dieter. A Quaff supported and comforted the limas; and a 13aptill took camel the altildrea. Emu, and his father were Man the spectators. ' Here,' said the father, is a thing in which mankind were made go spree.'" This is a simple story ; but we are not yet too wise for it. Rands are yet held back from a pressing work of mercy by questiew about dilemmas of faith. Let act the sick perish while we are scuffling fir pre misece for some sect or dogma, or lending am ear to the slander that Miss Nwannom.x is doing so. It is net Ms; and her work should be kept pure from the remotest taint of the °dim geolopicom, white is quite mischievous *sough elsewhere.

THE pottering of the Russian organs in the conti nental press affords strong presumption that the peeler professions of the Russian Government are sincere. Arguments, anecdotes—sll the 'eaglets of newspaper war are brought into play, to wheedle France and to bully England into huddling up a peace, without too narrowly ecrutinisisi the terms. We here more than once warned the Allies of t►e danger of allowing time to be wasted by dilatory and aimless discussions. It may not be unnecessary to add a warning spinet the danger of ratifying a treaty without carefully and deliberately weighing every word and sentence it costaine. To transact business with despatch, and to transact business in • slovenly manner, are things wide se the poles asunder. Men may waste week., wombs, and years in talking, and yet huddle up their business in a bungling and unsatisfactory manner at the close; sad they may narrowly scan and scrutinies every clans of a bond before signing it, without losing a moment. If it is possible that Reels may gain by anneees ear/ delay, it is equally possible that she may gala by over baste on the part of the Allies. The present strange winter, with its frequent and rapid &sages from severe to mild weather—from frost to thaw—is very embarrsolieg to the Russian Government. The reeds in the south of Russia are at peened impose able; nothing can be transported along them. The Cue cannot forward supplies to his army, and he is anxious shout the mate of his forms in the Crimea, which can neither be supported there nor with drawn from the peninsula until winter sets is with all its wonted rigour. Again, the docks at Sebastopol are as yet only in part destroyed ; and the men-of-war which have been sunk—at least those in the inner her are uninjured, with all their guns and storey. If Sebastopol is to be restored to the Russians. its fortifications, docks, arse. mils, and storehouses meet be lest dismantled, and the ships which lie hidden beneath the waters of its harbour mast be completely destroyed. No one wishes that the Allies should abase the advantages they bare gained over Russia, but they will be fools sad false to the eases they have undertaken if they do not nee those advantages to the uttermost. The game which the scribblers in the interest of .Russia are playing is transparent enough. They seek to flatter end conciliate Frans; to inspire Fnechmen with a distrust of England; and to per. suede the French Government to show its preponde relief intones by essenting a paellas which will eonipel England, however reluctant, to conlude a pease for fear she should be left nose. To this sod the Cue makes, sad his sycophants hides bieuely give circulation to, such speeches ore, " J'ai le. Allemaads en pith, les Anglaie en Italtee, et lee !Praocais ea admirstioo." To Ws end the Indepen dents Bap and Nord describe Frame so in hot baste to conclude a pesos, hazing gained laurels enough in the war, and England as eager to prolong hostilities with a view to obtain an opportunity of redeeming her lost prestige. We feel convinced that there Las little truth in the Ord of these allegations as in the second. No doubt the majority of the Parisian journals have evinced an vadigniSed haste to patch up a pesos without closely ex amining the terms. Bat in doing so, they sorely speak the sentiments of the gamblers of the Boons and of the contemptible end unpatriotic !soden of the Foaioaist•. We shall probably be reminded of the strict surveillesos which the Erna Ooveressest narcissi over the newspaper prom; bat there is something bete that requires ex *nodes. The voice of the Pena pulls hoe been slimed; and this has modern the Lemon usable to areste--er to allow to grew ap—a palls *plain epos which he can throw himself when seesmery to keep the bureaucracy in cheek. Now amens the bureessreey of Francs are the most daring and sem premised of the ➢ourse gamblers They have too mask at stake set to risk chiding and esid leeks w►en they me serve their Manor ends by min sepresestation. The Marmon sad the more re spestable pceties d his minden knew toe well hew much they have to less by clutching with undue eager sees at as equivocal peseta so as token the English Goverment in the lurch. As for the English people, we repeat now what we have said bete,.:—They will not submit to be duped, but if it can be shows that the ibises of the war are mewed by the terms proposed, they have se desire to prolong hostilities In merely selfish sonelderation. As to the Winner ties that Emend bee to regain a lost pre**, it is ridiculous. The people have felt and said that their Governmest has sot meted as became the °avers mot of me free and powerful a nation; bet if the lisp of the English Goverment an to be com pared with these of any ether espied is the war, Ragland bee so tease• to shrink from the eamparisee.

This signature, se we have already said, east eoly be a matter of ken. Ne further distension can take place upon propositions perfectly defined and drawn oat. The Austrian propositions will be transcribed word for word, and recorded in a special protocol, at the foot of which the signatures of all the plenipotentiaries will be affixed. A general armistice will immediately follow, and the definitive negotiations will be opened immediately afterwards.

Nothing new has transpired on the subject of pesos. The opinion of the Parielane appears to be that the Emperor thinks that the war is at an end.

A gale has been blowing from the south-west all day across the camp. It sprung up shortly before daylight, and gradually increased in intensity as the day advanced: now it appears to be subsiding. The huts have withstood the high wind well, and suffi cient warning was given to secure all the tents which remain on the ground against overthrow. The tem perature has been mild, and the snow, which for some days past had been lying in a deep layer on the ground, has been melting and disappearing in copious streams along the ravines sloping down to ward the roadstead. Yesterday, on the other hand, it was severely cold. The vapour rising from the Black Sea wu condensed into a thick mist, which, being drives over the plateau by a northerly wind, enveloped the camps in a dense white fog. The enemy appeared to think that this fog might be taken advantage of in effecting some object about the town or harbour, for they kept up a constant lire from the north side. It is understood that, as soon as practicable, steps will be taken to blow up and completely destroy the ships which were sunk by the Russians at the time of the evacuation of the south side of SebastopoL The masts of some of the line-of-battle ships remain visible above the water, just as when the vessels were first submerged. If the opportunity were given, there seems little doubt but that some of the sunken ships could be hereafter raised by the Ruelens, and, at any rate, much valuable property could be recovered by them without much expenditure of labour or money. The sunken line of ships across the month of the harbour serves as a breakwater, and protects the vessels which were submerged further up the road stead from a peat deal of the injury to which they would otherwise be occasionally subjected by the agitation of the waves during westerly gales. Collections are being made in the various regi ments, in 'amides°, with appeals from the Com mander-in-Chief and Generals of Divisions, towards the Nightingale Fend. Both officers and men are responding with alacrity, and not a few are anxious to show their estimation of the devoted lady to whose honest the tribute is made by increas ing the amount of subscription which has been generally suggested by the superior officers—namely, one day's pay. Many • man now serving in the field, hale and hearty, owes his strength to the oars of Mies Nightingale and her nurses, at a time when 'the medical officers had no means at their command for procuring the necessary comforts and nourish ment for the sick, which were supplied from the ladies' kitchen at Scutari, nor my way of obtaining the required help and attendance, which were freely given by the ladies and nurses themselves. These things seem to be gratefully remembered by the men who were the subjects of Miss Nightingale's oars, and it may be anticipated that the subscription from the soldiers in the Crimea will form no inconsiderable item in the list of sums sent in to the fend. There is literally no news in the camps. The only on dit worth Mission to, is a rumour that Sir Colin Campbell, who is expected to arrive very shortly, is to Dave a separate end independent oommand of two divisions, and that the seat of war in Asia is likely to be the Said of Disoperadons. MROII • CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JAR. 8. There is very little doubt that almost every cdfioer and soldier have followed the example of the Com manderdn-Chief, es notified to this army in the general after order of the let Instant, and have given one day's pay to the Nightingale Fund, and many have also given on. day's allowances. Twelfth-day, last Sunday, was appointed for the collection to be made throughout the whole army, and by that day's general order, No. 1, a committee of seven, consist ing of Major-General Lard W. Pallet, C. 8., Colonel Wilbraham, C. 8., Staff Surgeon Hadley, Captain Hall, A.D.C., it.,. R. Parker, Assistant Commissary General Routh, and Mr. Whiffle, Ordnance Pay master, were authorised to receive and remit to England the subscription,. The amounts are to be collected in bard cash, which I suppose will be paid into the commissariat chest, and a bill for the money will be given on the Home Treasury. The mail due yesterday has not yet (8 a.m.) arrived. All sorts of rumours are flying about. The Highland Division assert that Sir Coda Campbell is to command them in Asia; the French are very strong upon going to the Baltic; the Light Division my that • positive order has arrived to seed them home. The other divisions apparently consider the Crimean cam paign as over, and hint that either they will embark for Asia or for Nicolaieff. Bet nobody in the Crimea, except, perhaps, the two Commanders4a-Chief, know anything for certain of the intended movements of the - three armies. Since the Deasy fall of snow on Friday night the weather held up very fine till Sun day night, when it cams on to blow, followed yesterday by a thorough thaw, so that all the camps, roads, bazaars, &e., are again in a fearful state. On Sunday there was no church service "in the open" owing to the depth of snow, but in the afternoon there were several one-horse sledges being driven about. These vehicles are not, as may be supposed, very handsome or very well finished, and the heroes' used is generally ill made; still two officers can manage to bang along la one of them. The 4th Division amateur theatricals come off to. night, having ben postponed from last Saturday. A lecture on astronomy is also to be given in the Engi neer Camp, at 6, by the Rev. Mr. Somerville, who is some relation of the authoress of that name. The 2nd Brigade let Division intend getting up private theatricals and a Brigade Club; the latter is to be something similar to the Guards' Ciub in camp-- cigars and drinksbles only are to be procured at ir. The 66th Regiment has got a most comfortable reading-room, and on Saturday the officers of the 90th opened their billiard-room. One of them told me that Mews.

To-day, at soon, our engineers are to blow in the right sad left si de., with two piers of the centre and out docks respectively, of the English portion, THE FLOGGING SYSTEM. A correspondent writes from the Camp, under d►te of Jan. 7: The togging system is having its affects shown on the hard-working and useful "Army Works Corp.," who are rapidly deserting, and, if some remedy is not found, lon will soon have none left. Harsh measures, I undentand, are to be adopted. Kindaete and consideration, and a little seasonable reasoning, would have a much better effect. A very unpleasant affair lately took place at Balaklava with Provost Marshal Salsa and a mate of a transport, who was supported by two highly respectable captains; they, it is said, were also threatened. If the Provost Marshal do cause a captain of a camel to be Bogged, you may expect that every one will instantly resign. Such, indeed, is said to be their determination; therefore it will be well to reflect before each harsh and very unnecessary measures are re sorted to—in fact, ear army cannot but feel grateful for the uniform kindness they have received from the naval depart• mint. At the same time the Provost Marshal is no doubt anziou to keep the Crimea from being &nether California, and the indepeedent manner and firm speaking of our brave seamen is likely to be vary unpalatable to him, who is con ' tittered such an awful personage that no one dare even look awry at him; but he must learn to discriminate between the riff-ratio( Kadikoi and gentlemen holding the situation of captains of transports—gentlemen in every way kis equal in birth, education, end rank—and he should not be per mitted to stigmatise their free mode of speaking u cheeky"—ckeeky being in feet a mere excuse for Bogging say oat. A provost iambs) should have great power, bat it is not given him for tyrannical purposes, and a little inquiry and sifting of evidence before a fellow.ereature is condemned to be logged it is perhaps not unreasonable to expect. Fancy, what is really true, the provost marshal bawling out to his subordinates at 4 p.m. because the streets were not instantly cleared, " Beim hold of the first person you meet, it don't signify a-- who, and Bog him at once.' No such alines disgrace the French settlers. The provost sergeant who shot the deserter from the Royal Albert at Kaminch, was unteneed to 14 years' transportation and sent home in thi Bahian& steamer. Pram Kerte' they say they still expect as attack. The Great Tasmania, for whose safety there has beta great anxiety, is all right at Basklave. RUSSIA. MOM • 00111.1111PONDIXT.) TROYSOR (NORWAY), Dec. 6. Highly respectable travellers lately arrived hue from Archangel state that the utmost activity pre. Tails in the Russian dockyards in that port, in spite of the intense cold, and that no less than six heavy frigates and twenty steam gunboats are being built under °over, and will be ready by the spring. The demand for shipwrights and joiners is so great that carpenters, furniture makers, and indeed every sort of artisan at all acquainted with the use of the axe, are sure of employment at high wages in the imps. vial dockyard. It is further added that the fortifica tions of the place have been considerably strength ened, and several new works of defence erected, so u to neutralise any attempt of the allies to effect a land. lag. Several vessels with cargoes of lour, corn, and fish, have arrived here within the last few days front Archangel. AUSTRIA. (PROM oux OWN COIMISPONDINT.) VIENNA, JAN. 16. The telegraphic despatch of to-day from St. Petersburg, which conveyed to Prince Gortchakoff the Czar's acceptation of the Austrian proposals, came in less than two hours, and is probably not yet generally known at Bt. Petersburg. Yesterday even mg the prince went to the Foreign-office, and was closeted with Count Buol till past 11 o'clock. This interview was expected by both to be the last they would have together, and the count confesses to-day that it was important and spirited (toichlig and haft). Many of the Russian families of distinction had fully made up their minds that they should be obliged to quit this city. Prince Gortebakoff did not appear at the last court ball, but sent an excuse, which, under the then existing circumstances, was but natural. It was remarked au very significant that when the Emperor of Austria entered the ball-room be shook hands with Baron de Bourqueney, the French ambassador, and said to him, "Nods seamed dans sue crime, mais en tout cam noes en *alining ensemble." Sir Hamilton Seymour, who from not being able to Had a suitable house is still residing at the Hotel of the Roman Emperor, is at present in treaty with Prince Lichtenstein for a suite of apartments contain. log 40 rooms in the prince's palace, Herrogame, No. 231, to take ponession in April next. Count Btakelberg arrived here yesterday from St. Petersburg, with fresh instructions and despatches for Prince Ciortchakoff, but which will now be of no avail, u they are superseded by the telegraphic despatch. The Count left St. Petersburg on the Bth inst. The first and conditional answer of the Czar to the Austrian proposals is stated to be as follows : The fifth paragraph of the first article to be altered into: " Russia consents to give up the territory and fortified plaoes belonging to Turkey, as an exchange for those now in the possession and occupation of the allied armies." Secondly, instead of the third paragraph of the third point, Russia proposes to put: "On the shores of the Black Sea naval arsenals shall neither be created nor kept up." Thirdly, to alter the reading of the fifth paragraph of the third article" necessary for the omit service into " necessary for the service and protection of their coasts." And lastly, the fifth point, respecting further conditions eventually, is rejected as perfectly inadmissible, although Austria promised that they should only be conditions of minor consideration, not involving any question of principle, nor incompatible with the dignity of Russia to sands to. PORTUGAL. LISBON, lox. 16. The weather still continues unsettled, and the accounts as they arrive from the provinces give the most lamentable descriptions of the damage caused by the Seeds and storms. At last the steamship Pere has been released from quarantine. She came up on Monday, the 14th hut The crowning stroke to the conduct of the Board of Health was given on Sunday evening. The aid. mats= of that body was, that the ship should not come up without a fuller certificate from the surgeon as to the cause of the death of Mr. Caretair (one had already been given), and accompanied with at affidavit from the captain. These documents were sent on the Sunday evening by the oom pany's agent, who found that previously to their receipt an order had been passed for the release of the ship. Truly this looks like playing at quarantine, and probably the India mail, and pas sengers may miss the Suez boat, through the conduct of thee, Solon', who interposed their unitary lees between Lisbon and the chances of infection from as invalid who died from an ulcer in the throat. The ministers, when appealed to on the subject, aimed that it was an abuse of power; bet they mild net interfsse with the dictum eta board is whose bends tall pewees sew vested. All parties knew the whole health establishment to be a delusion and a snare, and sew that its genial effects have been brought home to England, we trust that her fiat will go oat sgaisst it. It was proposed to send the mails by the Toga' to Gibraltar,„ but an objection presented itself, inasmuch ea the ship would have to run the gauntlet of quarantine at Cadiz. From the first it appeared ikatte impossible to repair the machinery in quarantine, sines the person who superintended the making of melds for new works wes absolutely necessary, to see the metal east, on shore. The Para will probably sail on Thursday afternoon. The accident to her machinery is this: The discharge valve and top of air pump are carried away, the fit valve at the bottom of the air pump is broken, and there is also a bole in the bottom of the air pump. Besides this, she carried away a few light spars, a gaff, spritsaillard, and jibboom. A great deal of water poured into the vessel through the breaking of the discharge valve. One of the officers states, that although thirty years • sailor, be never was in a better vessel. She is very dry, steers like a boat, and acts admirably under sail or steam, ping some 12 or 13 knot.. Besides this, and unlike most new vessels, she makes little or no water. The Vasco da Gams, steamer, has sailed for Dublin. The Royal Mail steamer arrived on the 13th, and left for Brazils next morning. The French war steamer Newton has arrived from Teueriffe and the African coast. Her Majeety's ship St. George and the French war Moaners Newton and Goma& are here.
