T Oat —llllanim ft. 116 a......... N. I. Tcwassow—lienies. 7 16 1ia...--Mtaraosi. 71 . 44a• LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13. THE last report of the pitals, in the Crimes, is amost remarkable document During the week ending 23rd February, not a single death from disease occurred in the whole army, and only two deaths from accidents. In the coarse of the three weeks which ended au the 23rd there had been only fourteen deaths in the army, and the ratio of the sick to the healthy was only four-sod-a-half in the hundred. The Highland Division (4,880 men) bad only one death in five weeks; the Third Division (8,480) note single death in twenty-eight days; the Light Division (8.480) no death in a fortnight. These facts are most honourable to the regimental surgeons —whose skill and indefatigable assiduity will not, it is to be hoped, be forgotten or allowed to go unrewarded. But they also prove that the other departments of the army, as well as the medical, most be in a high state of efficiency. It is true that our soldier' in the Crimea are no looger exposed to exhausting watches in the trenches; but toper the most inclement mason of the year in a camp is in itself • severe trial of men's constitutions. Add to this, that one parties of the army consists of men whose eseedtedens have hese merely tried durisg the *p, eats the met, of raw recruits obnoxious to dimes" from new habits of life in a climate to which they ore not eesmieemed. With out any disrespect to one excellent regimental sur geons, it may be said that all their care and attention could not have xept the army in its present eminently healthy condition had it not been well found in other respects. Accordingly we learn that the supplies for the army, of all kinds, are now most ample, and most liberally and judiciously distributed. A correspondent, whose communication we published on Saturday last, whom moos of obtaining informa tion we know to b 3 great, and in whose accuracy in observing, and veracity in reporting, we have un limited confidence, states—" that the English sol diers in the Crimea are better hogged than either the Free& or the Sardinians;" that "the British troops are by far the most warmly clad ; " and that "the rations of the English troops are very liberal, and nearly se advantageous in kind as could be desired.* With reference to the rations of the English soldiers our correspondent enters into some details:—" They comprehend variety: a proportion of potatoes—on of the best anti-scorbutic vegetables—or anima, boa meat, and bread at frequent intervals, and the eses- Inconel use of lime or lemon joie* being among them.* Moreover there is every reason to believe that the moral condition of our army in the Crimea is as excel lent as its physical condition. Not a mail arrive, from that quarter bat brings us intelligence of efforts made by the officers to amuse and instruct the men under their command. The confidential letters to their friends, both of officers and private., prove that entire sympathy, and the mast perfect good understanding, prevails among all clams. The disposition of the soldiers is good; their courage high ; and they have perfect confidence in their regimental officers. of Has- Bearing thees thiop in mind, it is impossible for an Erilishman to read the marants of the grand review of the 24th of lest month without a Will apse datable pride. The twenty-flve thousand men who, oa that day, with " vigorous frames, healthy coantsaaame, elastic tread," defiled before their general, must hays derived a stimulus from the coassiciesams that they were well ab!s to endure the critical inepeetion of the most accomplished officers of the French and Sar dinian Armies, who clustered observant armed them. Dariag the earlier months of the war all advantages were cm the side of the experienced soldiers of Foams at pant the mei appears to be pretty nearly re versed.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. TEE ARMISTICE. (PROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, MARcit 1. On the 28th ult. a flag of truoe was hoisted on the north side of the roadstead of febestopol, and shortly afterwards a boat left the shore and pulled towards the south harbour. About the same time a French boat put off from the south aide, and the two met each other about mid distance between the two shores. The communication occupied a little longer time than usual, and there appeared to be something more than the usual interchuge of cour tesy. Some spectators said that they observed the French and Russian officers shaking hands. It soon became known in camp that the interview bad been connected with the arrangement of an armistice, and the particular object in the visit of the Russian offi cer in charge of the boat was stated to be the ascer taining if the Allies, like themselves, bad received instructions on the subject. Subsequently it was agreed that a meeting should take place en the fol lowing day, at noon, near Traktir bridge, and this took place accordingly. A short time before the hour fixed for the meeting a group of horsemen were observed to leave the opening at the east end of the Tchernaya Valley, where the Baktchi-Serai road passes to ascend the Mackenzie heights. A bright min was shining, the atmosphere was magnificently clear, and objects were conspicuous and well defined at long distances. Tree cavalry bad not advanced far into the plain when bang went a shot from we of the lower French bat teries. This was quickly succeeded by another, and the guns were evidently turned towards the approach ing horsemen, who, not liking the reception, it is presumed, came to a halt. Everyone saw a mistake had occurred. The officer in charge of the battery could not have been informed of the intended meet ing, and, seeing the Russians, had treated them as an advancing enemy. The error was at once corrected, either by signal or by some more direct means, fur after the second shot all remained quiet in the batteries, and the Russians continued their approach. At the same time the Chief of the French Staff, General Martimprey, who has lately returned to the Crimes, and General Windham, Chief of the Staff of the English army, with a select body of staff officers, and their respective escort', left the French lines at the We dos pont, and galloped along the high road, where it arouse the plain, to meet the Russian general. The meeting took place at a distance of about halta-mile or thereabouts be yond the bridge. Shortly afterwards the whole party turned round, and mixing together, came leisurely over the ground which had just been tra versed by the French and English commissioners. A short distance in front of the Traktir bridge the French bad pitched a marquee, and into this tent the principals retired. The particulars of what took place at the interview have not been made known, but it is understood that the engagements were only preliminary to a more important meeting which is shortly to take place between the respective eons . The Russian general and his staff were escorted by a detachment of Cossacks, from 60 to 60 in num ber. The horses are described by those who were near as in very bad 000ditioo, sad the men looking thin and worn—altogether very different from what they were prior to the commencement of winter. General Codrington was near the place of the inter view, but seemingly only a spectator. He wore his ordinary uniform and cep, while the staff offioers on duty were distiagoished by their cocked hate and dress appropriate for the occasion. Many officers left the English camp to see the meeting, which natu rally excited considerable interest, but they were pro per 4 not permitted to go beyond the 'too, bridge. The fire from the north side of the harbour hes been very moderate for some days pest. Two or three shots were said to have been directed against some parties getting timber from the Bombelnsis yesterday morning, but no gone have been beard since the interview, described above, took place. A few days ago the Russians threw shells which buret over the centre of the Redan ; until that time they had only succeeded in outing solid shot to that dis tance, at least in that direction. Not only the pro jeetile power mast have been very great to effect this object, but from the necessary course of flight of the missiles, the fuses must have been of an unusual length. Shells have been thrown over the *dab bog and u far as the aide of the Mamelon Vert-hill, bat these came from batteries at the narrower part of the roadstead. Many officers and others went to the crests of the hills overlooking Sebastopol, or took up positions in more advanced spots, for the purpose of witnessing the destruction of the White Buildings, or Hershel- Dais Barracks, on the afternoon of the 28th instant. The boor at which it wee said to have been fixed to take plum was halt past three, sad many arrived at that time. But after wait ing some time, so explodes occurred, and most persons became hapatilist; more especially es the potted wee rendered very damp by the melting snow, and the air, although the sea was shining, was sharp and chilly for loiterers. The poops, therefore, gradu ally dispersed. About an hour afterwards, however, a rapid succession of rumbliag reports was heard in the direstion of the suburb, and semi Wismar& a dense cloud of dark smoke rose in the ales. Although the atmosphere was thickly steeled with masses of clouds overhead, sod in most directions around, yet 1 1 towards the north the sky was perfectly clear and free from 'vapour, and as the sea was declining, 1 1 appeared at this time particularly bright and lama noon As the dark smoke rose end spread, changing its form each instant, and slowly drifting toil wards the south-east, its outline was rendered strikingly distinct by having so light a back grated as a median of cost/est. After It bed Demme dispersed from the immediate neigh bourhood of the White Buildings, the spectators were surprised to use that, to all appearance frame distant view, very little of the buildings bad been demo- Hated. Some cams returning from the neighbour hood of the town, mentioned that the explosioas bad been only partially easessafal, and that more would km to take place tigers the porticos of the bar racks intended to be overthrown were completely levelled to the ground. Accordingly another series of explosion were beard to take plat:ol'llmA an hoer after those just mentiosed. It was on this oesseisa that a most painful sesideat occurred, iavolving the death of a highly meritorious and distinguished Beti mes, officer, Brevet-Major George Bashes. Accord- lag to s, stated asesant, lie bad given notice to 'sena mem engaged at the week to retire to s safe distance, se he wee shoot to light a faze oonneeted with one of the charges. One of the last panne to whom he addressed a remark is 'apposed to have been an often of the 33rd Regimeat, to whom he announced that the fuse would only barn one minute before the explosion would take place. At last, erring that all were apparently at a safe distance, be ignited the fors, sod, either from nomething wrong in the quality of the feu itself or from the maws' ignition of loom gunpowder, at the same instant, sad before Major Ranks° meld move from the loot, the charge ex ploded, and the *all fell, burying Ilia in reins of mammy. Aid was immediately at bead, bat from the enormous heaps of stone which were piled op, and from the tact that there were no beams of timber whisk could offer a chance of prop ctinn from the superineumbent weight, little hope could be held outof extricating the unfortunate officer alive. No efforts were spared. Additional fatigue parties were sent for from the camps to clear away the muonry ; every one was indefatigable, but it was only in the course of the night that the body was arrived at. Life was quite extinct, and from the nature of the tearful injuries received it was evident that death must have been instantaneous. The remains were carried up to camp the next morning. Major Ran ken, who was an officer of ample private means, which he devoted to the beet purposes, was much re spected, not only in his own corps, bat by a wide I circle of friends. His name will be remembered us that of the Engineer officer who conducted the as saulting party on the ever memorable Bth ot Septem ber, in the attack upon the Redan. He was then a subaltern, but getting his company on the 25th of the same month, he wee worthily promoted to a brevet majority for his conduct on that occasion. His death has cast a gloom over the corps, of which he was an honoured member, and has created the greater sensation from its occurrence just at the time when all the ordinary dangers of active service had apparently owed. It is said that Colonel Gordon l aud a sapper, who were in a part of the White Buildings at the time this last explosion occurred, also had a narrow escape. Seeing a wall above them, which was shaken by the concussion, tottering and about to fall, they had just time to effect an exit through an opening which had formerly been used for a window, when the whole tumbled to the ground. A great part of the outer shell of the barrack buildings still remains up right. These walls are said to have been retained in this' position for a specific object. The Commander of the Forces, General Codring too, has been visiting some of the military theatres during the week. On Wednesday evening, the 27th instant, he was present at a theatrical performance in the Light Division ; on the following evening he patronised the Rol al Theatre in the Fourth D,visioo. Everything pursed off satisfactorily on each occasion. ' There was a heavy fill of snow—perhaps the deepest which has fallen this winter—on the evening of the 28,h instant, the day on which the last mail left the Crimea for England. There were occasional showers of snow and e'eet on the following day also; but on the 28th the sun exhibited great power, and under its influent* a great part of the snow disappeared. Still, a good deal remains in sheltered situations, and places in which it has drifted, while the distant mountains remain completely clothed in their white attire. Each morn ing and evening during the week the mercury has fallen below the freizicg point, but only a few degrees, and as soon as the sun has gained any ascendancy the thaw has commenced. Last evening the temperature was milder, and some rain fell. The prevailing winds have been from the north and north-weet. The lut mail from England arrived on Thursday, the 28th. Newspapers were received up to the 18th natant. OMER PACHAII ARRIVAL AT TREBIZOND. (PROM OCR SPECIAL INDENT.) TRBBIZOND, Fail. 23. As the Austrian Lloyd's boat, which came in yes terday morning from Constantinople, is unexpectedly announced to sail again this afternoon, I have scarcely time to note down a brief account of the arrival of Omer Poch* at Trebizond, and of whatever other scanty scraps of local news of public interest the interval since my last visit has produced. After visiting Harp on the 14th, as mentioned in my letter of the following day, from the camp at that place, and laying out new lines of defensive work, his Highness left Redout Yelek, with the whole of his baggage and the greater part of his staff, on the fore. noon of the 18th, and on the evening of the same day, I myself followed in the second of the two steamers taken up for the transport of the General and bisatteodants. Theweather lewdest theo,remarkably flue, but during the night the light north-westerly beeese strengthened into a gals, and accordingly, on arriving off Trebisand on the following morning, it was found necessary to run on to Pianos, a small bay about eight miles to the westward, where the anchorage is safer than in the almost open road stead of this port. The vessel carrying Omer himself had touched at Bateau], but arrived shortly after the smaller steamer, and fol lowed the latter into Platina Bay. Oo the following foresees, the wind having veered round to blow off the land, both ships returned to Trebisond, and hie highness almost immediately landed. On the pier a snowy-kilted score of Albanian musicians were drawn up to greet the Turkish Clear with the wild sod disootdast welcome &some native pibroch; behind them was a regular military band, not halloo picturesque, and only a degree lees atrociously re gardless of all the known laws of har mony, and next to them spin the guard of honour, liuisg the street from the beach up to the Pacha's palace. Every house-top. too, from which a glimpse of the great man could be had. seemed, as it were, paved with teased and turbaned heads, whilst below black and blue eyes, more numerous than I could pees at, indulged their admiring curiosity through the latticed whitlows that offered a view of the 'cone. As the Birdat's foot touched the shore, • ready , citation unosoced the fact to all expectant Trebizond, and immediately the gnus of the citadel, and those of the ships in the roadstead, thundered forth their booming *elutes. On reaching the gates of the palace, his highness was received by all the civil and military dignities of the place, followed up by a der'. tatioa of the principal Inhabitants, which last, in a spirit of delicate forethought, crowned their wordy homage by the offering of a delicate little maiden, some thirteen years ad. Sinai thee his highness has been actively engaged in " taking Moat " of all the men and materiel of the military force now collected here. On the day fol lowing his snivel he went over the whole of the hospitals now under the medical care of Dr. Far quhar and his medical staff, and expressed himself in terms of well-deserved praise of the state of each and all of these establishments. In token of his satiate°. ao,;;ilatheprest ---- ntandidistifervioes or these gentle. men, he has declared his intention to confer the die on Dr. Farquhar and one or two others of his prin. cipal surgeons, in addition to the bestowment of the same decoration oa the three who rendered notable service immediately after the fight at the Ingottr. To-morrow there is to be a geseral review of all the troops now here, and, it is said, the Birder will sail on the day after for Constantinople, to arrange with the Connell of War the detail of his Armenian olotaks• TURKEY IN ASIA.

The negligence Leo great that the government is compelled to purchase timber at 100 piastres per sheki. Even then it is only procured by pulling down old homes. In the coarse of last summer there were here about fifteen thousand horses, which the Wm. bitaats of the adjoining provinces had sent free of all expense for the use of the army, and to every three horses there was a groom.

If they had been employed in the conveyance of timber, we should at this moment have had a supply for at least a couple of years, and the government would not have been compelled to pay the enormous price it is now doing for this indispensable article. The Journal de Constantinople sap that a part of the Auglo-German Legion was sent to Trebizond in order to come here. This makes tut hope that an English army will be not here to take the field. If this has been really determined on, the government should remember that the Russians have only a march of 36 leagues to make from Kars to this place; that their army is ready, well-provisioned, end the like ; that the road is a magnificent ore ; whereas an English army on landing at Trebizood would have before it a fatiguing march of 60 leagues over a wretched way. Moreover, it would have to bring its own artillery, horses, &e. Arrived, the question of finding provisions would arise. All this would take time, so that, it measures be not promptly taken, it may in two months' tints be too late for action. The Russian garrison in Kars does not consist of more than two battalions, with six pieces of cannon in the citadel. All was tranquil there at the beginning of this month. We have no fresh intelligence from Penis. Cara vans are getting scarce, owing to the high price of fodder along the Turkish territory.

Hineteldy and de lioehow is still very intense. The Military Tribentl has Men ve•ged nab the examination Let, the duel. M. de 11.ich ire, who lal teen d, has been set et liberty on giving bsil for his appearance if re. (mired. - la the Berlin correspondence of Le Nord we find the fol. lowing details: " The duel tcok ;dec., it elves., in the forest of Grose. weld, between the hovr, of 9 and 11 thi. inivoing (Monday last).

The duel was with pistols. The distance woe fifteen paces, and each of the advertence advenoed five steps. It was thus, /on en, veritable duel to the death. We recoil with h Frey; the conscience of a man of bo sons and a Christian groans while describing such atroci ties in the midst of the 19:b century. It had bean arranged that if one of the pistols missed fire it shocll be reloaded. H. de Hinekeldy fired first, but the bell did act leave bin weapon; kis at:teener', who was at this moment putting his Sager upon the trigger, had but just time to raise his pistol. This was act.ng like a salient and loyal chevalier. It is only to be regretted that chic airy in maintaining what it had of the gr eat and gent rows, did tot lose in contact with civi lisation that which makes murder a right, and even a ditty. The pistols were re-loaded, and hsviog reached the distance agreed upon, the two say aaaaa ies fired. Id. de Rachow was not touched, but M. de Hinckeloy fell sn no dead, the baU having entered his side and pierced his heat.

In the inquiry which fo.lowed, M. do Roctow accused M. de Hinckeidy at having lied—en out mire which, crowning *number of others ot which he had beg been the subjict from the corps of officers, and eves from the nob.lity—d.cidad hint to challenge M. de Rochow.

Be writes : " The motive fcr the duel Is said to be that MA* Machold, having a few drys sines presented hinseellia greed tailors' at a place in which a carousel t rganised by the princes of the Royal family and m•.mbers of the nchlity was going, on Y. de Rccoow wen: to meet hlm, and told him that the presence of a police agent was not necessirp Au submits of high words and a chilling* ensued.
