To ezooerste the tb. Thou throws -- the blame on Lord Ittut.A.4. The cosniuse avoided condemning " this eminent pence, absent the public service, unheard," but the journal metal justice at defiance, and attributes to him exclusively the failure of the joint operation. He it was, not the Allies, who "entrusted with a coup de main fee which his means were adequate, con verted it into a regular siege, for which his means were utterly inadequate; he foresaw "thing, provided nothing, and left everything to take its chance." The absent is coodemned that those who have bad an opportunity, and have failed to exculpate themselves, may not be reminded. But why did not the Administration, whisk by the mouth of Lord AszacEr.re and of the Duke of NrW CASTLE, defended itself before the committee hyalite. I ins that it was not properly informed of the realstate l of affairs in the East, supersede Lord RAOLLN i s For all his errors, omissioos, and negligence, the Ministers have made themselves responsible by not removing him. To a tender respect for antiquated imbecility, when found in a member of the oligarchy, the national interests, meseding to the Times, have been sacrificed, and it alb at the Hones of Commas and the nation to repeat the sane lialkaad spare the Administration. if the Aillebbalbs bad dos justice and removed Lord Rsours—asbedeserni Ms be removed according to them an the firese—disi might have found the right men for the post of Com mander of the Army, and there is a possibility of the nation finding the right men for Ministers, if the present men throw down the reins. While they hold them this is not possible. This great nation is not reduced to the necessity of being governed either by a DRAY or a PALMERSTON. The' official Tories and the official Whigs do not comprise all the ability of the nation. They are drilled in the old routine—incapable, probably, of forming those new combinations the age demands, and as little likely to carry the country successfully through the present great crisis, as a cab-hone to win the Ascot Cup. If Mr. Roasuca's motion should hasten the retirement from office of the obstacles to the na tional success, it would be a public benefit. The Times, in its seal for keeping the wrong men in office, casts a slur on the people. The mind of England is represented as alternately the prey of exultation and despondency. Official mismanage ment has been enough to make the people despair; but they have throughout been true to themselves. For nearly two years they have unflinchingly de manded an abatement of the power of Russia. They have cheerfully borne great additional burdens, sag have never doubted the justice of the same, nor of its ultimate success; but Minis ters and their satellites have been at one time for war, and at another for peace, have floundered along in reckless confidence, or have been sunk in despair ; have looked I Austria for aid, and Prussia for comfort ; and have been as wavering and inconstant as the people have been firm. The mind of England will continue firm and just, and will forget nor forgive the House of Commons which shall refuse to pronounce the reprehension of the Administration which was the " first and chief cause of the misfortunes in the Crimea."—Daily News. OF MORALS BY LORD PANMURE. LORD PANIIITHE is an eminently moral and reli gious character—a leader of the Free Kirk. It is, therefore, not without surprise that we have read the noble lord's ethical code with regard to soldiers' =t riages u propounded by him in the House of Lae last night. The Duke of RICHMOND drew the attain tion of the House to the subject of improved bursar accommodation for soldiers' wives. This brought the tdunsTEß of \VAR upon his feet. The exordium of Lord PANNURE'S speech, we may be allowed par - parenblese to remark, was comical enough. He - com mssied by protesting he was convinced that the Duke et RICHMOND had adverted to the subject "in no spirit of hostility to Government." This is one of those utterly uncalled-for exculpation which are tantamount to ace nations. It looks aa if Lord PANNITHE, after the baiting that Government has of late had to undergo, had become so touchy that the most innocent remark appeared to him to involve a censure of himself and his colleagues. He is almost as bad as the navy surgeon of whom Lord BYRON relates, that having been long quizzed by his mess about his wig. he became so sensitive that no one could mention even a hat is his presence without being told, "Sir, you grow personal." Bat it is with Lord PANDIUBJeII principles of morals, not with his testiness, that we have to do at pre sent. Well: he admits the demoralising con sequences of the shameless meaner in which men and women are now huddled together in barracks, but his only remedy is compulsory ce libacy on the part of all soldiers for the first ten years of their service in the infantry, and twelve in the cavalry. Never having studied Scotch metaphy ales, we confess ourselves unable to explain the rail:was of this distinction between the two arms of the service. But overlooking this special mys tory, and addressing ourselves merely to Lord PA/f -in:wee general principle, we must be allowed to doubt whether ten or twelve years' compulsory celibacy o f all soldiers is likely to be conducive to the morality of the army or of society in general. We have been accustomed to believe that, under proper regulations, matrimony was conducive to morality. The neighbourhood of a barrack, seen as matters now stand, is not much liked by se date and decorous heads of families; bat if almost ell the inmates of that barrack were to be bachelors by compulsion, it would become an intolerable nuisance. Lord Panora is of opinion that a wife is too great a luxury for any man below the rank of a corporal to indulge in. Nay, he goes farther ; he " wishes to see the army without women attached to it at aIL" He think' " soldiers should do for themselves many things which women are now employed to do." What these things are he did not condescend to ex plain: but it is pretty clear that Lord PAN/MBE'S model barrack would be a kind of military convent. Yet the legends of his native land tell strange stories about Monkish morality.—Daily News. NAVAL AND MILITARY. ADMIRALTY. JUNE 28.—APPOINTMENTL—Ltinti. W. F.

In answer to the charge the prisoner said he had been many years is the army, and yesterday he went to see some old atairades at Chatham, who had recently returned from the Crimea.

OPPAY • lIIIPPLEXINT TO Tlll 0•1127111.) WAR DEPARTMENT, Ann 28, 1855. I Lord Nomura has this day received two des-1 patches and their enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebutopol, June 14, 1855. My Lord,—Your lordship will be concerned to learn that the army still suffers from cholera, and that it has increased mince the lut report. The men in general, however, look healthy, and I hope that the duration of this sad malady will not be long. The reports of the state of the Sardinian army are to-day a little more satisfactory. 1 have, &o. RAGLAN. The Lord Pumice, &c., &c., &o. Before Sebastopol, June 18,1855. My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint your lordship that Lieutenant• General Sir George Brown and Admiral Sir E. Lyons returned from Hatch yes terday, having fully and successfully accomplished the objects of the expedition to that part of the Crimea. I have the highest satisfaction in drawing your lordship's attention to the manner in which the lieu tenant-general conducted the duties I entrusted to his charge ; and I entertain no doubt that if he had encountered the resistance which I was led to expect he would have met with, the result would have been equally advantageous, and would have reflected the NON credit upon his arrangements, whilst the el& dewy and gallantry of the troops would have been bseught into stronger light. But it is a matter of great .joy that so much should have been done with out the loss of a life. He feels greatly indebted to General D'Autemarre and Reschid Paths, who commanded the French and Turkish trcope respectively, for their ready co operation and assistance. It has afforded me the most sincere pleasure to have the opportunity of personally congratulating Sir E. Lyons on the success of the expedition, for which he was from the first so warm an advocate, and to which he always attached the highest importance, and on the result of the attacks upon the enemy's possessions in the Sea of Azolf. The excel lence of the arrangements for the bombardment of Taganrog does infinite honour to Captain Lyons, of H.M.S. Miranda, and at once testifies his ability, determination, and gallantry. The progress of the works against Sebastopol since I reported to your lordship on the 12th, has been perfectly satisfactory, and new batteries are com pleted, which will enable both the English and the French armies to resume the offensive with the nt - . - elle want to we them, but wu refused admittance, and this caused her to act in a manner she otherwise would not have thought of. She admitted having lived with another man, but she had left him, and wu now a servant at a tavern. The husband told the magistrate that he never refused the priaoner admission to her children when she came sober and in a proper manner. Mr. Norton observed that the prisoner had no claim whatever on her husband, and ordered her to find bail for two months. most vigour. I encloee returns of the casualties which have arisen to the 14th instant.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. P.S. I have just received a letter from Colonel Shirley, in which he expresses his regret at having omitted the name of Captain Peel, 34th Regiment, who was severely wounded in the successful attack of the Quarries on the 7th ultimo, where he highly distinguished himself.

After the opening of the court the names of the jurors will be celled over, and the jurors will be required " well and truly to try what shall be given them in charge, and • true verdict give according to the evidence." Hereupon the crier of the court will give public notice, " that all persons who claim the Flitches of Bacon, to be pre sented by William Harrison Ainsworth, Esq., are to draw near sad give their attendance, and justify their title to the prises." James Barlow, and Hannah, his wife, will come forward and produce witnesses (who have known them many years), and who will in open court testify to the sincerity of the conjugal affection of the claimants. This dote, the crier of the court will give notice " to all persons who know of any just cause or impediment why James and Hannah Barlow should not have the Flitch of Bacon awarded to them to come forward, and they shall be heard." Any person opposing the claim will then have an oppor- ' tinily of being beard, and may produce witnesses in sup port of the objection. A like course will be pursued in rerpect to the Chevalier and Madame do Chatelain, who will be required to justify their title to the Flitch in the same manner as the first claimants. After this, the °Meer appointed for the occasion will de liver a suitable address to the claimants, and declare them entitled to the prizes on their taking the customary oath. After the performance of a grand piece of mule by the orchestra, the court will adjourn. At the door of the Town hall two large chairs, each constructed for the accommoda tios of two persons, will be provided.

Despatches, of which the following ars copies, have been received from Rear• Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in• Chief of her Majesty's , ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea: OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OP AZOPP. Royal Albert, Straits of Kertch, June 12. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose, for the informa tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of three letters from Captain Lyons, of the Miranda, reporting the destruction of Marioupol, 011ie*, and Kiten near Arabat, of immense quan tities of grain, flour, and hay, destined for the supply of the enemy's army in the Crimea. So great was the quantity that in some cues the conflagration bad not entirely subsided when last seen on the eighth day. Thus, in the space of a fortnight the Sea of Asoff has been swept by the allied squadrons under Captain Lyons's orders, and the enemy deprived not only of the supplies which already existed in the different depots, but also of the means of transporting the coming crops. I have also the honour to enclose a copy of a letter from Captain Lyons, speaking in terms of high praise of the officers and men employed in the launches of the fleet, and in the Danube and Sulina tenders. Considerable skill, vigour, and promptitude have characterised these operations, and I trust that their lordships may consider that credit is due to all em ployed in them. Opportunities offered for individual distinction, which were eagerly wired by the officers whom Captain Lyons putitularly mentions, and whom I beg leave to recommend to their lordships' favourable consideration.

At the expiration of the delay granted, no authrrised person appearing, I sent the line-of.bettle ships' launches (lent to the squadron) and the boats of the ships under my orders, with all the marines under Lieutenant Macnamars, R.M.A., the whole commanded by Lieutenant J. F. C. Mackenzie, of this ship, to effect our object by force; the French boats accompanying ours. On the marines and a body of French small-arm men landing, under cover of the launches' guns, 600 Cossacks, commanded by a colonel, evacuated the town, and the marines and the French small•arm men advanced and took possession of it; the very extensive stores of grain were fired and destroyed by parties under the directions of Cap tain Lejeune, of the French navy, and of Lieutenant Swirl borne, of this ship, every care being taken to cause as little damage to the town as possible. Thus was a considerable town on the military high road from the provinces of the Don to the. Crimea (the only one left since oar occupation of this sea), held unmolested pas mein of by a small body of British marines and French small-aria men, for five hours, while immense stores of grids were destroyed. The grain, plank, and other stores considered as contra band of war, being effrctuilly destroyed, the whole party re-embarked without the slightest accident. Lieutenant Mackenzie emanated this service with excel lent ludgment ; and he speak, in high terms of the judicious manner in which First Lieutenant Mummers, Roysl Marine Artillery, posted the Royal Matisse and Royal , Manii Artillery under his orders, in pretence of a superior force, who were Nine deterred from venturing to molest them.—l have, do., (Signed) B.

These term, having been wisely acceded to by Colonel Borsikoff, the military governor, whose small force was quite inadequate to defend the town, the marines of this ►hip, under First Lieutenant Macnatnara, R.M.A., and a French party, landed and destroyed a vast quantity of hay, stacked on the beach, ready (for conveyance to the Crimes, and 1 thousand quarters of wheat, &e. &c• During this time, Lieutenant Horton and the French officer went through the town, and had all the store-houses and magasines thrown open for their inspection, in order is see that no evasion of the terms was attempted, and that all contraband of war was de stroyed.

TURKEY. OWE TIN CORRIMPONDRIfT OP THE DAILY NEWS.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Julia 18. The Munedjim Cachi, or chief astrologer, was thin year rather out, it would appear, in his e,alculationg and the new moon all of a sudden peeped unceremo niously from the firmament to proclaim the Moslem fast. It was thus that, about midnight, heralds had to be despatched in all directions to announce this event and rouse the faithful from their slumbers. All were on their legs in a twinkling, rubbing their eyes, seedy, sullen, and out of sorts ; and pots, ( kettles, saucepans were soon got under weigh with an impromptu store to provide, as best might be, against the tribulations of the morrow. The Ramazan runs through all the seasons—the Arabiaa year being lunar—and completes its cycle in about 33 annual revolutions. When it falls—as was the case this year—on the summer quarter, total abstinence, u imposed by law, during twelve or fourteen hours, is lin all truth a most serious affair. From sunrise to sunset nothing is allowed to enter the mouth or other parte of the body—not even medicine, if required: and these rigorous injunctions of the Prophet are strictly observed, and most severely felt by the great mass of the population. Moreover, the pastime of the bath, the harem, and the chibouque, which latter is the Moslem's counsellor and refuge in the hour of trial, are all interdicted—nay, even the sceptic—for such there are hers as elsewhere—dares not smoke in public. The day is devoted to charity and works of bone. leolence; and the great functionaries ramble about s'ecog., consoling those in affliction, and distributing alms in every direction. These pious and humane duties are, above all perhaps, rigorously fulfilled by those attached to the imperial court ; and the vener able traditions of Islam exist still unchanged in the recesses of the Seraglio. It is really a goodly and imposing eight to contemplate the euouchs assembled at the hours of Nemec in the great hall of their chief: their melodious voices, in solemn recitative, united in thanksgiving and praises of the Most High. Meantime they are not altogether forgetful of their evening, and of revel and festivity, and when relieved from these pious exercises they while away an hour in preparing dainties for the Iftar. Thus, divers cauldrons may be seen gaily seething in the :court yard, and each encircled by a swarthy group of doubtful gender, all in deep deliberation, Red come snuffing slily . the savoury . perfumes of the Tehal came. This is a most exquisite Arabisu ragout, con sisting of a great variety of ingredients, such as a turkey, pheasant, partridge, vegetables, and all the spices of the East, I believe, boiled down for several hours to a censomme. This the eunuchs send round in portions at sunset to the members of the imperial family and inmates of the harem—and this delicious little bait, in these primeval waters, is sure to catch whole shoals of gold and silver fish. The Bairam also, this year, was ushered in un seasonably, and on a Friday, thus doubling the duties which this festival imposes on the Sultan and all the great functionaries. At early dawn the thunder of artillery from the land batteries and war chips in port announced the event, and the Sultan, in magni ficent attire, entered his state barge at th e Palace of Tcheragan, and proceeded, as usual, with the whole retinue of his court, to perform the duties of the Bairam Namaz at the mosque of St. Sophia. The prayers and ceremonies of this feast are un usually long, and Lasted on this occasion above two hours, after which his Majesty, mounted on a splen did Arab, decked out in the richest trappings, pro- ceeded through the Bab Humayoun to the presence chamber, situated in an inner court of the old Seraglio proper, and there received the ministers, the corps of the Ulemahs, the chiefs of the various corporations, and all the great officers of state. This /mom oda is a spacious saloon, and full of lugubrious, or rather, perhaps, somewhat ludicrous associations. It was there, I am told, that their excellencies the repre sentatives of the European powers, in the olden times, were received in audience—a favour, by the way, rarely granted in these days, and only on most important occasions, such as the declaration of war perchance, the presentation of credentials, or the delivery of passports. Whatever the object, however, the ordeal was attended with great discomfort and certain humiliating inflictions. Only fancy his excellency in the dog days, may hap, packed up in a great pelisse to make him de cent, and cover his " unmentionables," which of all things in those times were most offensive to Turkish decorum. This same operation was hence also performed on all and each of his attendants—their arms pinioned to boot, by the grasp, right and left, of a powerful Baltayi— and in this plight, squeezed to death, the perspiration oozing out at every pore, they were ushered into the presence of the Caliph, and thus all temained to the end of the chapter. As a climax, I way fuither men tion, that to ensure good behaviour and strict obser vance of etiquette, a phalanx of ferocious Janissaries, armed to the teeth, blocked up every avenue, and all chance of exit during the ceremony. The tortures and various inflictions of this exhibition were such, that ono ambassador and well-known orator, I am told, forgot his speech in the very exordium, and required, to get him through the lem ma any how, continual poking and prompting from his astound ed and secretaries. I merely allude to those facts of historical noto riety, to prove what I have often noticed in the course of my correspondence, namely, that the whole face of things has been totally altered in this country within the last thirty years • and that the (Liman:eta have advanced more, perha ps, than any other cation would have done under the circumstances, in the path of freedom and civilisation. Lord Palmerston, who is, as I have often said, their idol, may depend upon it that the Turks will do all he can wish, and still more —provided the allied governments give them fair play, prosecute the war with vigour, and bring it to a triumphant issue. All their best efforts have been paralysed for long years by con tinual pressure from within and without, by a hateful and perpetual aggression—which, like Su& fon's " monster polypus," had firmly grasped with its gigantic claws the old state-ship, and shackled all its onward movements. The Sultau,after having gone through the reception of the great officers of state at Constantinople, returned in his barge to the new stone palace of Dolma Baotche—and after having beard prayers at noon in the neighbouring mosque of the Valide, h:s Ma jesty finally returned to Tcheragan for the Mon haiade or " Baise-mains." There is something pleasing and patriarchal in this ceremony, at which, notwith standing the fatiguing duties of the festival, the Sultan, like a good shepherd, reviews twice a year his whole household troop. They are all received in the presence chamber—a spacious and splendid saloon—where a company of the Imperial Gusuld is posted in lines, and Donizetti's band executing with great precision at the same time a variety of beautiful national airs. The Sultan is usually seated on a fauteuil, richly embroidered, and studded with pre cious stones. This year the four young princes i magnificently decked out were standing in a line on I the right of the sovereign, and the ohamberlains and pages of the imperial court, in splendid uniforms, I grouped rigtit and left, forming a semi-circle a little Ito the rear. In former times, about ten yards in ad vance arid fronting the Sultan was placed on a cushion a richly-embroidered cloth, with gold fringe ; and to this point all the courtiers advanced with a profo and oriental salaam, and, kissing the elot'a, filed off right and left till all he d paid in succession their annual tri tmte of gratulation. This year, however, I may mention, as a "sign of the times , " tha t the eastern usage of ' the etenama, or profound obeissance, which had existed from time immemorial up to the present day, was finally abolished by the spontaneous act of this magnanimous young sovereign; thus, this I said traditional gold cloth was held within net more than half-a-yard's distance from the Sultan by the chief chamberlain, and having been kiseed, as is usual by the courtiers at this festival, the •Atuewhat humiliating ceremony required hitherto 'otas entirely dispensed with on this occasion. His Majesty wore a splendid tiara, surmounted with ostrich feathers, and le,oked remarkably well. No doubt the stirring events at the seat of war, and the conviction et laigth that his allies are really in earmte eetntributed much to cheer and inspirit the Bourg sovereign, and to enliven the ceremonies of 1 the festival. It has been often remarked by travel lers and correspondents of the press that the Sultan when in public appeared " pale, emaciated, and care worn " Wu, hoWerers strictly speaking, is not the 1 r. .• I ! 11 1 . t .., r •„,,,, . • \-... .. _ , ,-- , : r iie. 1 t,... . ....
