THE CAMP BEFORE SIMASTOPOL of mew. which covered the landscape as with a white pall, and gave altogether a novel aspect to the beauties of a landscape, which nothing bat a long and compelled familiarity can cases one to 'whisk. The ruins of Balsklava Castle, always most attractive and most romantic, looked grand with their foreground of dazzling white and snow. topped battlements, and light fleecy clouds flitted across the sky of coldest blue, while at other times, deepening and spreading, the cloud. broke ever mountains, harbour, and valley, sending their drifts down on the wings Of the wind, and covering 'the ironed in the sheltered places to the depth of three and even font feet. After the meow, on the 3th, came the frost—not that tranquil , freeting cold which I have known in northern elimsAss, sad of which, without any great inconvenience, I have stood as mash as 28 dismiss Resumer, but the cold of a bleak, pitiless wind, which came bowling in from the steppes of the north, and which, after its gab., set all the camp a howling end gnashing their teeth. And this the more since the majority of the troops are still without additional clothing, with the exception perhaps of a new blanket in the place of the old and rotten one. Fires, too. were low, for the troops want fuel. Rations of char t* were Indeed in storeot &balers, bet they could not be made available fore the troops in trout, because we wanted the transport to bring them up. So the charcoal was confined to the troops in depot at Bala kis'', the Highland Brigade at Eadikoi, and,ineamp, to the Artillery, who, having horses, were enabled to fetch up their rations of fuel. The cold of the 3th est all the charcoal burners a glowing, and some &sibs are recorded from the deadly exhalations of a slinks of feel wholly unknown to a great many of our men and even officers. Brevet-Msjor Swinton, of the Royal Artillery, was found dead in his tent; ten privates in the Highland Brigade were all but suffocated. An officer of the 97th was killed. Captain Stephenson, and a party of of fi cers of the gallant 17th Lancers, who sat too long over a charcoal fire, suffered a good deal, and thus warned, escaped a more serious accident. The frost continued on the 6th and 7th. It in creased the mortality among the horses, and the sickness among the men. To mention numbers at this seem would be indiscreet. After the 7th the weather became milder, and just at present we have the general features of November and December in rain, mud, and high wind. On the 9th there was heavy firing on the Sebastopol frost; the Rawlins had just completed a fresh battery, and tried the range of their new guns. We, too, are making progress. We have five guns in position in the second parallel in advance of Chapman's battery, but we have not a sufficient supply of ammunition in front, to keep up a contiouous fire. Omer Pacha arrived here last week, and went up to the head-quarters. His arrival produced no im pression whatever. Our army have conceived a prejudice against the Turks, because they are not to be relied on, and besides every one feels that what we want is exactly what the Turks cannot give us. If this army is ever to be really victorious, victory must come out from home. Until that time arrives officers and men must stand on their posts, sad suffer and perish when they might conquer and triumph. trait the attendee, and di/ids the forcesof the enemy. The French are to co-opsrate with Omer Packs, and have already placed ender orders 8,000 mss, to pro ceed from Enpatoria with the Turkish troops. The Magdalena. lately employed in carrying the 18th Royal Irish, and some other transports have bet* soot on with troops. Such are the plans said to be concerted at present. Every one hopes they are re , ported correctly, as every one is anxious to fight his way into the besieged fortress, slid gain some pro tection against the frost and snow not to be found oa those heights, especially uuder tents. 'the wooden huts have arrived is large quantities, bet we have not yet decided upon sending down a large body of troops to carry them up piecemeal. We have not horses to carry them up, but we have men who could easily do this fatigue duty. I have no doubt that some arrange ments will soon be entered into. Can you believe it, that I have heard some officers argue that letters are often read either here or in England before being sent on P Ido not believe this myself. The duties in the trenches are frightfully severe lust now. There are great numbers of men laid up with frostbite. An °Soar belonging to the 9th Regiment died on the rood to Balsklava the other day. Ile is supposed to have eat down, fatigued with carrying a few things, when he probably went asleep and was frozen to death. Report continues to say that there was a row in Sebastopol lately—either a conflict is the streets or • difference of opinion, the remelt of which was, that it is supposed a large body nulled out of the city towards our lines and were fired upon by our people from the trenches, as was very natural, for who could distinguish such a manoeuvre from • sortie? All the railroad plant has arrived. We hope soon to have the road esta blished, which will relieve and spare both man and horse. The Leopard has arrived, with the remainder of the 89th Regiment. It is surprising how the Russians allow us to continue so quietly constructing oar works. I really believe that they profusely ex pended their ammunition at first, and that the re now laying it up foe an emergency. The French aka down our sick to hospital, and have been carry ing up our shell in large quantities every day. Our mortality is still great ; on an average we still lose about a regiment • week. Dr. Anderson, of the 41st, and one of the assistant-burgeons of the same regiment have died within the last few days of fever, I. believe. The clothing sent out by the Patriotic Fund has arrived at Balaklava. The artil lery have got their allowance, but there is some bungle about its being got up to the camp for the remainder of the troops. It appears that the whole is packed up in large bales, and there is some diffi culty in getting up those lots. It would have been better had each man been allowed to march down and return with his own kit on his back. Those neoessaries are badly wanted, and we shall all feel very grateful to the kindness of those good people who have co-operated in this charitable work. In the military way, nothing has taken place since my last. A nominal fire goes on. The snow is deep on the ground. The sun shines oat beautifully by day, when we feel the weather rather agreeable than otherwise ; but at night it is very nipping, especially in the trenches, where we cannot move much about without having a flight of balls by our heads.

On the 30th of December the mild weather solved into rain, which fell in abundance during the early hour, of morning. As the day advanced the weather cleared up, as if on purpose to favour &French reconnaissance of the Russian position in the plain, which took place on that day. Oar allies descended with about 10,000 troops of all arms—all in a state of the most astounding efficiency, with their uniforms, arm, accoutrements, and horses in such excellent trim, that any one ignorant of their whereabouts would have believed they came from a ceesistable barrack, rather than from an entrenched camp on Sebastopol heights. Our spies having informal us that the main body of the Russian army had fallen back upon their depots at Simpheropol and Baktehl ilerai, it was the object of this reconnaissance to ascertain what force of the enemy were in the rear if Karam*, and behind the range of hills which skirts the valley of the Tchernaya.

The fact that the rumour was not only prevalent but accredited is attested hying being referred to in several journals to day—the Assembles and Petrie among others.

It was thought that Russian intrigues bad something to do with this. Mr. Murray, why was going to Persia by way of Egypt and the Pemilin Gulf, was cot expected at the post before May, it was fisted that in the interval existing difficulties, Jo far from being award, would beams mere serious. This morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the sapyroi de trills on guard near the Place du Chitelet fated hanging to an iron bar protruding from a window in the Rue de la Vieille Lsiternsr,the desk body of M.

It was on Thurs day affirmed that this force would peas through Switzerland. The sth of February is the date fiked for the commencement of its march." SPAIN. Letters from Madrid iescribe that capital as being in a state of great excitement and uneasiness. Some eminent capitalists belonging to the Carlist party have been arrested, and it was said that certain generals bad been ordered to leave Madrid. Minis terial modification, were spoken of. Among the persons arrested are M. O'Shea, the banker, who is accused of having discounted Carlist bills. However, this accusation seems to be insigni ficant, for he is one of the principal purchasers of church property, and must expect to find his pur chases repudiated, if Don Carlos were to come to the throne. At five o'clock on the 23rd his house was surrounded by soldiers, while a second search for papers was being made. PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1855. - From the returns published io the London Garotte, by order of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, it appears that all the great branches of industry of the United Kingdom will be effectively represented in the approaching Universal Esbibition. Thus we And that there will be 20 exhibitors of silk, 5 of shawls and mixed fabrics, 16 gold and silversmiths, 18 of cabinet work and decoration, 11 of clocks and watches, 16 of musical instruments, 25 of general metal works, 16 of saddlery, &e.,;13 tanners and carriers, &0., 12 of caniages, 17 of letterpress printing, &a., 6 of bookbinding, 8 of copper plate, &a, printing, 29 of boots and shoes,26 manufacturing chemists, 9 of carpets (London), 21 ditto (country), 4 of rope, twine. &c., 16 of paper and stationery, 8 brush and comb-makes and turners, and 6 of hats and caps. In addition to these, a general supplementary list has boon printed, containing 130 names of metropolitan exhibitors, whose various professions and other cause. would not admit of their strict clarification under any of the &boys heads. Twentrnins local committee§ have been formed in the manufacturing districted the United Kingdom, who have been for the most part energetically engaged in making a judicious selection of al/ that their respective localities produce which can add to the interest, usefulness, or em• banishment of the Paris Exhibition. Awarding to the returns received there will be 10 exhibi tors from Aberdeen, 11 from Arbroath, 26 from Balms. 93 from Birmingham, 13 from Bradford, 6 from Bristol, 10 from Derby, 43 from Dublin, 16 from Dundee, 1 from Dan. fermline, 13 from Edinburgh, 22 from Oaluhlels, 68 from Olsogow, 12 from Huddersfield, 21 from Leeds, 21 from, Nottingham, 9 from Paisley, 2 from Preston, 86 from Sheffield, 22 from the Staffordshire Potteries, 22 from Sun. derland, 4 from Trowbridge, 8 from Walsall, and 22 from Wolverhampton. . Manchester hes sent no return, the committee in that city having determined to make a collective display of the staple manufactures of the district, without putting toward the names of particular firms. The districts where no oosemittees have been formed will be represented in the aggregate by upwards of 65 exhi. bitors. The number of contributors to the machinery de. pertinent (both in motion and at zest) is 146 ; together , with 25 of our most celebrated agricultural implement makers. A careful digest of these returns shows thatif the Exhibi tion of 1861 bad the advantage as regards the number of English exhibitors, the British section of the Paris iTni venal Exhibition of 1866 will hold . . far more prominent position in point of quality as the limited space placed at the disposal of the British government by the imperial com mission has rendered unavoidable a rejection of all that did not attain to a high standard of excellence.

THE MUSEUM FOR THE PROPINCIAL SCHOOLS OF ART. -4.- The authorities at Marlborough House, who stein bent upon, nnostentatiously but effectively, carrying out the objects for which they were appointed, have now got together a small portable museum, Intended for exhibition in the various provincial towns in which schools of design have been founded. It will be recollected that immediately after the Great Exhibition of 1861, the not very muaifieent sum of 6,0001. was voted by government for the purpose of purchasing such of its contents as, from the perfection of their manufacture or the purity of their design, might serve as models to guide and improve the taste of the art workmen of this country. Acting upon certain principles, the commissioners made as many purchases as the limited amount of money in hand would permit of; and although the selection made, caused, at the time, some surprise to the uninitiated public, ex perience has since proved that the judgment exercised was sound, and that the articles developed in their construction and design principles, the knowledge of which was essential to the acquirement of a true artistic taste by the pupils of our schools of design. The collection is necessarily a small, but is a constantly growing one, munificently strengthened by the loan of some very rare specimens from her Majesty, and there is no doubt but that under the experienced guid ance and correct taste of Mr. Cole, it will gradually become a very important agent in the extension of art education amongst us. The collection has been much visited in town, but the authorities have wisely thought that its use fulness might be much exteaded, if means were found of bringing it home to the art pupils in different parts of the country, who have net the means or the oppor tunity of visiting the metropolis; and accordingly a neat portable museum has been formed, and is now offered to the inspection of the public at Gore House, where it will remain until the arrangements are complete for its tour through the provinces. As the catalogue has not yet been published, any detailed enumeration of the objects collected would be impossible; but a slight glance at the more important contents will show that much judgment has been shown in the selection, and that our provincial friends who devote themselves to the fine arts as applied to the practical bnainem of life are likely to be much benefited by its inspection. Foremost in place, as in value, are the beautiful specimens of antique Sevres and Chinese porcelain graciously lent by her Majesty, and exhibiting not only some of the purest and most graceful forms of which ceramic materials ate susceptible, but the moat exquisite beauty of decoration, and the presence of those rare colours which have been lost to the modern potters' art. One rue of the celebrated turquoise tint is specially weetby of admiration, and, when placed beside sloe equally rare originals from the flowery land fall, will enable the young designer of the potteries OD esetrast the triumphs of barbaric art, with the chef wi'mwrs of high ;civilisation, and to extract from each the . principle of excellence which, notwithstanding the widely divergent circumstances under which they were respectively 'rested, have after all mann both so enduring is their bold upon public estimation.
