He did not know what became of it, but naderstuod the a stores taken were equity divided among the French and 60 English. The Kangaroo was ordered to Constantinople from 50 Old Fort with the sick and wounded, before the battle of 24 Alma; but inconsequence of the medical staff not coming to v; their assistance, the decks became covered with dead and 10 dying. Did not think there was any loss of life at the land- e t , lag at Eupatoria. On the first night they were without U teats, and then was • heavy rain. Some of the regiments et were much exhausted. T , ere were no baggage waggons St brought from Varna to the Crimea. There was a small de- ' i i,- hiehmeut of the army on board the Bellerophon, and a naval ot dicer of rank expressed his unpin) to him that no regi gc - soots of the line were placed on board the line-of battle at. ships. The French army was transported in naval vet- St eels, end they had a large number of mules and baggage waggons. Each of the French brigade divisions had • ;.• number of carts with horses attached, besides those employ( d gm. in the transport of ammunition. Was at Balaklava when se the British took possession of the town, and on board the Agamemnon when they shelled the fort. There was no 15 1 Irregular proceeding on the occasion. Every one took pos. , ft, gendon of a house sellers he could. A day or two ' after one of the staff went round, and the Ili people turned out of the houses, but nothing to his Si. kaawledge was dose to enforce order in the town. He St. never saw a house actually unroofed or pulled down to make firewood. Balaklava made no resistance. Some of 1; the natives tok refuge in a Genoese castle in ruins on the 19) blights. A few shells were fired on our troops, but there St. Was no regular defence of the town. There was no num- 58 baring of the streets, and no formal possession was taken. r. new the came of Lord Kegler' and of Lord Lunn chalked ' 9 fit sal some of the places, and also the words Poet-office. There is wore no preparations in the shape of storehouses, or for the un maintenance of stores for the army. There was a large ret. yard in which the peek saddles were piled ; and be miens. 10 bored suggesting to the officers that some of the houses I should be spproprisited as storehouses, but nobody appeared ' 6 , So know whoee business it was to do this. About three se weeks after they took the town a sort of town major was 60 ss~ppoointed. The shore was very much encumbered with le Otero, and everyone landed where they liked. Capt. Mena ft- Ms very Wive, and did what he oould to enforce regularity, lb sad after • short time Admiral Lyons appointed a harbour ft. master. All the siege artillery was landed there. Captain le Heath was the first harbour master appointed. When the siege train was landed the seders rigged up, as it was • called, a pier and • small wharf to land iv. This was the only wharf. All the other goods were merely taken out ; and landed. The harbour was exceedingly filthy, and full se of offal. Complaints of this were made to Lord avian, but ' gt nothing wooden, to improve it. Left the Crimea on the Se 17th November. Tho had weather was about setting in. so When in the.camp, he was with the artillery right attack. Oa one occasion all the teats in the camp were blown down,.. to 'with the exception of the Turkish. There was a storm o f t i t , heavy rain sn.l sleet. The Turkish tents stood, as they st.' knew better how to pitch them. Ile did not think our et troops had a proper idea of pitching them. When the tents began to bulge/end sway about, it was all over with them. ro All the hospital marquees were blown down, and the sick g ; , were espoused for many hours to the rain and sleet. so Did not hear of the clothing hung arrived before he left. So The roads were then in a bad state, covered with the dead 15 bodice of horses and men. The sanitary condition of the 1 , 1 , 11 , 1 comp at that period was very satisfactory. Saw dead horses ; very often close to the encampment, and, on ono occasion, he saw a dead horse close to Lord Raglan's house. Ho so took • detour on the occasion of these encounters to avoid them. He went, on one wearier', to a staff t Seer, end re- 10 monstrated about these dead horses. He replied "they 10 were French horse., and that it was no business of his. " Was of opinion that owing to the tents being pitched so , close to one another it was likely to engender disease. He et frequently spoke to the medical officers on the subject, and es-1 they admitted it required some person whose special duty Is it should be to look after the camp. The food served out to !I the soldiers varied. Some divisions had fresh meat three or low four times a week, but others were ten or fifteen days with out. It depended on the activity of the commissaries. The at meat that came from Kupatoria was not very good. He had q meat three or four times • week. No Maps were taken to at establish any depot in Asia Minor or the southern coast, 10 Its had interviews with Lord Raglan and Commissary *C)„,, Filder, and, suggested the formation of depots at Sinope, 7 and mentioned pereone to them who were well calculated to ir t .. 111401110 the commissariat, but his suggestions were not sn' attended to. Tho army did not get supplies from the rat.', southerst shore of the Black 5.!,1. Went through the French camp at Kamiesch bay. The arrangements there were 11% particularly good. The harbour was in en excellent state. lig The vessels were arranged in parallel lines, and there were gt several wh erected. All the houses had painted on at. them large letters denoting the provision, grain, and es ether depots. Bundling appeared to be very perfect. ,2 there was a small village at Kamiescb bay, but not so large to as the town of 13aleklave, and there were not the same R. facilities as at the latter place. Balaklava bay, though se/ large r, was not a favourable place for landing. The houses IS were built at the foot of the clans, and there was no room r ezewt in the streets of the town, or on the quays, eti to place anything. Wharves could have been built at Bala. ot. Um. There were no depots at Baleklave. Visited the E. Hubiager, into which the sick end wounded had to get to by means of almost perpendicular ladders, from which GI some of them fell. The harbour was in a very irregular 1 . 2 5 codifies. There was considerable want of fuel, and of I I the means of arindiog coffee, and the officers consequently 131 were s 1 days without. The cooking pots were in bad ci. condition, the covers of some having been taken off to roast lel the coffee. Colonel Dickson told him that the fusses sent 5 out were so bad that • large number of the shells would not 1 .? burst. The platforms for the mans were seat out as an ex- ;"*., periment. They were a new kind of platform, called the e t .l " Mediu." They were disabled the first day, and every St.. one broken. They were all destroyed the second day, 1, so badly were they adapted for the purposes in- le_ tended. What wee called Boxer's fusee was found 73 1 to be very good, but the others were old lasers Saw the condition of the tette. His opinion was that gt. they were multad. Some of the officers' tents were very ei bad indeed. The rain passed through them almost with- S 5 out interruption, and there was a constant drizzle inside. a . They looked old, and some of them had been taken out yt of stores used in the Peninsula. The British means of transport greatly exceeded that of the French. The num- v bar of our mules was about equal to theirs. The British V bad no carts brought from Varna, though they captured a convoy of 150 laden with flour. Went ever the whole of the French camp. Our troops had not the same conve nience as the French for carrying baggage. Our officers had no tents, and carried their own bsggage. The French did not. They had good roomy tents. The English line-of-battle ships could easily have carried more soldiers, and this would have given room in other vessels Ur things that were left behind at Varna. The town of Malden was • long street, extending about three-quarters of • mile, and the harbour was about the some. Never heard there was any notion of abandon- 11 ins Balaklava altogether. Before be left, the harbour was I getting into a bad state from bad management. When the French arrived, they began to build large houses of planks, some from the ships, and others sawed there. The French j had regular departments for all those sort of things. They i bad sawyards and bakeries. He iluestionei whether they found the planks in the Crimea. 'There was wood to be had there, and planks might have been made. For a fortnight after landing, the army remained totally unoccupied. Was not aware that shot and shell were being carried up. Should say, from what he observed when visitit.g the French camp, that their rystem of provisioning was tar better than ours. Frequently saw the Zosaves and other French troop at their dinners, and the description they gave him of their living made it appear to be pre ferable to ours. The vessels that lay idle in Bela klaya harbour might have been converted into store homes. The men wore sometimes so hard pressed for fuel that they used to break up the powder bones. It was stated that a divisional order prevented the troops from going to get fuel. There was a great want of medicine when they were at Balaklava. One of the medical men on ono occasion said to him that he should be happy to dispose of his stock for half a-crown, and =other stated that he had only a little chalk and quinine. He heard that there was a considerable stock et medicine at Varna, but owing to mismanagement it was not sent to Scutari. Prognmed that this arose from the authorities in this country not supplying a sufficiency. It being now nearly four o'clock, further proceedings " adjourned to twelve o'clock this day. PR.

Yesterday the examination of Major-General Ben- I time, commander of the Guards, was ?taunted at considera ble length, • large portion of it. being an amplification of his previous evidence. There was some difficulty experienced in the matter of •seachets, and the regulations of the tom anizariat were freenently found iosonvenient on that score. Trey raised difficulties and objections, because on one occa sion the vouchers were signed an inch below the mark (Laughter.) The horses were generally tied to a post, and unprotected from the weather; and the diet for the sick and wounded was not always well provided for. The tools used by the troops were very inferior, and complaints of this character were made of them at Chobham. Some of the clothing provided for the Scots Fusiliers was moldered so bad that it was condemned by the colonel of the regiment, and the clothier had to furnish • fresh assortment. The number of the Guards before the operations at Sebastopol was 1,100 strew, but subsequently they were reduced to one-half, from deaths in action, exposure to weather, over work, and cholera. Dr. Vans, in custody of a cargo of supplies, shipped by the Harbinger, • screw-transport, deposed that the bogs of vegetables they took on board at Constantinople for the Crimea, coes'gned to them by the commistariat, were, when opened, in estate of decay. Tne wire • fortnight in dis charging these decayed vegetables, which consisted of celery, cabbages, potatoes, and pumpkins. The clothing of the men on board the Harbinger was filthy in the extreme, cad nagged. There was one medical an to 150 sick and wounded. They were nine days lying off Scutari, for want of iieeoremodatien ; and they made tw, or three requisitions • day for fresh meat; but they met with no attention. During the nine days, they had fresh meat only three times ; and no teas a was assigned for not sending provisions to them while they were ljanet off the mouth of the Golden Horn. The cargo of the Harbinger, when she went out, consisted of 100.0001. in gold for the commissariat, besides gunpowder, and the was 920 tont. Vege tables, hay, dec., were lying about rating on the h.ach ; while a large how', that would have formed a convenient receptacle for them, was occupied bye man who shoed the horses. (Laughter.) Daring wet weather the attests of Balaklava were in • horrible condition, owing to the mud, and sometimes they were so bleated up when ea valty went through as to be impassable. The effluvia from ttio burial grounds was very great and dissgreeable. March in the Crimea was very much like November here. Typhus and cholera were the diseases principally incident to the climate. During the nine days they were lying off Scutari the invalids were not inspected by the medical staff, and for went of provisions the eoustitutioes of the men muse have suffered. Had heard Captain Christie declare, after the storm. he would not allow vessels to remain outside the har bour again. Repretentations were made to the commisaary as to the delay of the vegetables, but with.ut effect. Mr. Leyard, M.P. *ea left his seat at the committee table, sad was saaasiled.

Tun Duna GOVERNMENT has just published a return relative to the receipt of the taxes in 1864, conspired with that of 1853. There was an intrude of about 106,000 florins in the direct taxes, of 1,226,000 florins in the indirect taus, of 66,500 florins in the post-office, and of 18,600 flwins in the tax on jewellery ; and a diminution of about 235.050 florins in the customs, owing to the modifications in the tariff; and a further one of 10,000 florins in thy land tu. On the whole, the receipts were greater than the ex penses, and the surplus was employed in diminishing the public debt ASSISTANT-SURGEONS AND CANDIDATES FOR TILE CIVIL SZDVICI OF TUE EAST INDIA CONPANT.—A paper, ordered by the House of Lords, has just been issued, con taining copies of reports dated lls 13th January last, on the examination of candidates for the appointment of Resistant surgeons in the service of the East India Company ; also reports dated November last, on the examination of candi dates for the civil service of the company, and likewise a letter respecting the company's college at Haileybury. In January lest 28 candidates were examined for the appoint ment of assistant-surgeons, and 22 passed examination.

THURSDAY BRINING. The English stock market opened steadily, but subsequently declined, owing to a pressure of males, partly on French account. A telegraphic statement that the French Emperor had this day left Paris for Lyons was regarded as indicating his Majestfis con tinned intention of visiting the Crimean army ; and an impression that the aceesaion of the new Czar may tend to postpone the active participation of Austria in the war had also a depressing influence. In the afternoon rather more firmness was observable, but prices still closed 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. A report prevailed that the approaching budget will in its main features represent the policy of Mr. Glad stone, and that it is proposed to make up any defi ciency in taxation by • fresh issue of Exchequer securities, in preference to a creation of funded stock. At Paris to-day the French funds closed at a further fall of j to 1 per cent. Most of the other continental stock markets are rather weaker. Consols for the new account of the 11th April opened at 931 to 1, receded to 921, and had recovered at 4 o'clock to 931 to 3-16.

In the foreign stock market attention continues chiefly directed to Turkish, which is decidedly in favour. The transactions were at 79 to 80 (or par), and the closing quotation was 791 tot, or the same as that of yesterday. Sardinian bonds were firmer, and other descriptions steady.

The opinion which iled, on receipt of the news of the Russian Emperor's death, that an early peace was pro- bable, appears to be fast wearing away ; this circum stance, combined with a return of sufkciently severe weather to retard the reopening of the Northern ports of Europe, had given increased confidence to wheat holders, and purchases could scarcely be made to-day on such favour able terms as earlier in the week. The same remark will apply to flour. Barley was dull, at Monday's quotations. Irish oats brought rather more money, and other descrip tions were fully as dear. Beans and peas quiet. Clonrseed finis.

The public were taken by surprise yesterday by the announcement that our new Attorney-General's re-election for Athlone had just taken place, no public notification of the day having previously been given. Mr. Keogh was proposed by Dr. Browne, the Roman Catholic bishop, and seconded by Mr. Larkin, J.P.; and Mr. Ennis, the tory candidate, did not fulfil his threat of opposition. Mr. Fitzgerald, Q.C., the Solicitor-General, will be returned this day for his former seat in Ennis, without any attempt at opposition. DRAMA. ADELPIII. Au afterpiece in one act, called Belly Marlin, was brought out at this theatre last night. It is a mere trifle, depending entirely on the very clever acting of Mrs. Keeley. Betty Martin is a housemaid who has the misfor tune to break her master's clock. Betty gets a Mr. Main spring, a friend of her's, and a elockinsker by trade, to come and repair the damage. Alaj3r MlWades Mohawk, the master of the house, is . a sort of Othello in farcical lite. The cloekmsker's clandestine visit to repair the clock, like the handkerchief in Othello, throws the gallant major into transports of jealousy; and the fun of the piece consists in Betty Martin's shifts and eontrivaaoes to get herself out of the scrape. Tbe denoue ment is the simplest in the world ; the jealous husband finds that his suspected rival is a mere tradesman come to mend a broken clock, and there is an end of the matter. The thing, as we have said, is the merest trifle, but Mrs. Keeley, as the perplexed housemaid, was infinitely amusing, and the piece was received with much applause. TILE DEPARTMENTS OP WAR.--We are requested to state that all letters regarding the administration of the war, appointments in the navy, army, &c., are to be ad dressed to " the Secretary for War, Whitehall-gardens, London."
