At the ordinary weekly meeting of the Society of Arts last mates, Joint BI4DY, Esq., M.P., la the chair, the paper read by Mr. Loagmaid was oho " Put, sad other vegetable charcoals." It is a subject of the greatest import woe to the manufaistaren of the United Kingdom. If the bogs of Ireland can be converted by say cheap proems into tharead, our iron misses will become immensely more valu able. Oar iron is met fit to be converted into steel, because we use coke for smelting.

On Monday next the Earl of ELLEN.. Boxouarr intends to 01070 for a list of returns, which .Las been most skilfully drawn rep, po ea, to oover the whale wide field of the campaign in Turkey and the Crimea. On the Thursday following, Earl GREY pyntrosei to more an address to the QUEEN, declaring that the creation of a Secretary of State for the War Department has failed to provide for the effective administration of the army, and that an improve ment In the several departments of this branch al the public service is urgently required; praying. at the same time, that her Marine will give' directions that measures for effecting such an improvemeat be immediately adopted. These two motions, if nothing interferes to prevent their being brought-forward, would go far to elicit the information that is required, and accelerate a reform of our war administritioa: But then are indications in the political horizon that both may be forestalled by th► motion of which Mr. Roam:rot has given notice in the House of Commons. Mr. ROSBUCIeII motion stands on the order look for this evening, and pro poses the appointment of a select committee "to inquire into the condition of our army before Sebas topol, and into the conduct of those departments of the government whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of the army." The notice of this mo tion has buttered the official circles " like an eagle in a dovecot." A circular Nimmons to attend has been Wood to all the reliable supporters of Government, couched in the most urgent terms,and announcing that _ _ a division is oertain. It is dear that the motion is to be strenuously resisted—probably on the ground that its moms would be tantamount to a vote of cesium or want of confidence ; and that considerable appre hensions are entertained by Ministers as to the poasi bility of its being carried. For our own part, as long as there was any hope of an improved management of the war, without a change in the present construction of the Cabinet, we deprecated any movement that might produce a temporary relaxation of the bonds of unity in which the national enthusiasm has linked all classes together for tha vigorous prosecution of hostilities. But that hope has perished ; and, moreover, it is apparent that the country is bent upon having the experiment of some change tried. All, therefore, that remains for sincere patriots, who have no private ends to serve, is to lend their assistance to carry us through the crisis as speedily as possible, and to extract the greatest possible amount of good out of it. There can, consequently, be no objection to Mr. Roz- Bncx's motion on the ground that it is likely to accelerate a ministerial crisis. And, apart from this consideration, it appears in every way deserving of the support of independent members. It has the merit of presenting, in a tangible and definite shape, a mods of conducting the inquiry into the war mismanagement which could not fail to elicit all the information required. This is a great recommendation, for it is more difficult to parry a proposal obviously suited to reach the end aimed at, than general declarations that amendment is desirable. It is, therefore, much to be desired that Mr..ROF.BUCH may be effectually supported in the House of Commons this evening. It is impossible, with a House of Commons consti tuted like the present, to form any probable conjec ture as to what may be the result of the evening's debate. It is evident, from the excitement in Go vasnment circles, that the sitcoms of the motion p regerded as within the range of possi bility. If it be carried, or even if it be negatived by a very narrow majority, the result is not unlikely to be a resignation et the Ministry en masse. In this event, there is , every likelihood that the statesman first sent for will be one or other of the members of the present Cabinet. Even the followers of Lord DERBY do not hesitate to admit, in private, that little would be gained by sub stituting their NORTHIINBEILLANDS, and HENLEY% and Pew -Norm, for the Ministers now more espe cially entrusted with the management of the war. And the crisis will have come on too rapidly to admit of the contemplated Demousis job being perpetrated. Again, the brunt of popular odium has of late been borne by the Conservative, or what is called the Peelite, section of the Cabinet. This is not to be wondered at, for experience has shown that these once-vaunted statesmen are only fit for the smooth navigation of a summer sea. The late Sir ROBERT PEEL, with many estimable qualities, was not the man to train future ministers. He was one of those statesmen who desiderata the faculty of working through subordinates ; hies colleagues or assistants were allowed few chances of practically developing administrative talents, in the high sense of the phrase. He made good head clerks, but he made miserably inefficient statesmen. It follows from what has been said that the SommioN and the nation will have but a narrow range of choice in the event of a ministerial crisis. An attempt will necessarily be made to save as much as possible of the materiel of the present Cabinet out of the wreck. The nucleus of any new Cabinet will probably be the Liberal section of the coalition Ministry. There is a trifling incident in the House of Common' proceedings of Tuesday evening that almost seems to point in this direction. The extreme haste of Messrs. GLADSTONE and CARDWELL to place their most acceptable measures on the books of the House has somewhat the air of a preparation to make the public regret them if their retirement shall be found inevitable. Assuming that an attempt is to be made to construct a new Cabinet out of the Liberal section of the present, and such recruits as they can persuade to rally round them, much will depend upon the individual who is to take the lead. It is rumoured that a versatile contemporary is to lay aside its feud of many years standing with Lord Pautnerom, and support his claims to the Premiership. Certain it is that the journal in question has already been offering the future Premier, whoeverle may be, an alternative choice of two First Lieutenants, in the persons of Lords OM and ELOINBOROIIOII. There are, however, good grounds for believing that the coun try, though noway' averse to see Lord Palo unirrow in office, would rather demur to his lordship's being plied at the head of her Itemerv's Councils. With all their faults, there is more reliance placed in ihe Rumour. section of the Whig pariy. As to the new recruits, we again record oar 'opinion, that ,no Ministerial arrangement can be effective or lasting whisk doss not embrace a considerable number of entirely new men. And there are only two obstacles—which will, however, probably be found insurmountable—to such an et : in the fink plea, am 4011404 di 4114 right I =to setert their own dens, and set them- It is confidently MY& tit tY Viesteend that Lord John Rowell has resignsd. • -=BUBSELL: THE WAR. (riox T 214 I'ONDINT Or TIN DAILY 311W111 CONSTANTINOPLE, JAx. 11. Osumi Brunet has arrived at Constantinople. He commands the 9th division of the Fres& army, con sisting of 12,000 men, which is hourly expected here, and destined is a reinforcement for the Crimea. Meantime letters have been received from General Canrobert complimenting General Brunet on his arrival, as also precise instructions to General Larchey, commander-in-chief of the French troops at Constantinople, to retain here all coming reinforce ments until further orders. The cause of this sudden resolution it is of course a difficult matter to deter mine. It would seem either to indicate for the present suspension of hostilities —or, that General Canrobert Ands himself enabled to carry out, with the faros under his command, any plane or operations which may be required at this juncture. I have seen a most interesting private litter from an officer in the camp, dated the 7th instant, whose whole tenor appears an argument in favour of the latter hypothesis. General Canrobert's popularity in both armies, you are aware, is unbounded : he is seen, day and night, in every direction along the lines, in the trenches, tents, and posts of danger, fraternising with his troops, aid consoling them under trials and privations. Their patience is, however, al most exhausted; and they all demand with ' one voice to assault the place. General Can robert, in reviewing on a late occasion his heroic soldiery, was greeted by a general acclamation of " Vire Canrobert l" and pronounced an eloquent oration, terminating with these memorable words : " Ne ditto pas, mes braves, Vire Canrobert, mail vivo ' l'Empereur! et qua oe on retention jusqu'an cmur de nos ennemis—dont la derniire heure a Bonne ! Vow criers:, Vive votre General, lorsque je me lan (*raj a votre tete, et que mon corps vow; servira de dropeau ear Is bathe. Si non. n'avons pas doani encore Pageant, (lost pour des raison. partionlieres i moi connnee." The majority of our own Soars with whom I have conversed know General Canrobert by sight, and all by reputation—and they have assured me that he is exactly the man to fulfil to the letter his fatal and remarkable promise to the troops. _ _ . By yesterday's packet, an aide-de-camp of Prince Jerome arrived at Constantinople, and announced without delay his intention " d'arracher, bon gre malgre,* Prince Napoleon from his present difficul ties, and return with him to Paris. Accordingly all has been bustle and preparation since yesterday at the French Palace, and his imperial highness has made several magnificent presents to M. Benedetti and the personnel of the embassy. To-day, at two p.m., the Prince will be received by the Sultan in audience at the Imperial Palace of Tcheragem, and starts this evening for France by the mail steamer. The Journal de Constantinople of the 11th rectifies its former account of Baron Bruck's speech delivered on the 3rd inst., at the palace of the Austrian em busy. The following is given as an exact reading of the Baron's words : Hie Majesty the Sultan has resisted a most unjust aggres sion, and his brave army has most valiantly defended the I territory of his empire. In this his Majesty has received the support of the maritime powers; and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria has concentrated his army to give the Sultan mikado= aid, if unhapply the new diplomatic communications should fail ; but ems peace when it will— before or after the struggle--the pride of Russia will have been subdued. Then will Turkey enter upon a new era; the prejudices of race will be removed, all religiose will be freely exercised, right will triumph over force, and the great resources of commerce and industry be developed. And that the Satan is resolute upon all these important molten is well known. Aided by a devoted and able body of ministers, his will be the privilege of fixing his mighty empire more firmly than ever, upon the sound basis of a wise and liberal administration. Such a solution of the Esstorn question (exclaimed the baron, in concluding his speech) will be truly in accordance with the civilisation of our day. Private letters from the camp before Sebastopol are to the 9th. The health of the troops seemed to improve although the cold was severe. The daily deaths had fallen to 90. The sheepskin coats for different regiments were being issued, and also rise to the troops in the usual manner. Lord Raglan has ordered that every man be served out with one pair of boots gratuitously. The weekly average of sick seat to Scutari amounts to something like 700 men. A permanent staff of medical men is appointed to be es board each vessel taking sick to Scutari. About $OO wooden huts had arrived at Balaklava. The Royal Horse Artillery is to be employed to carry them up to the camp. It is intended, in the first place, to pot up a sufficient number of huts outside Balsklava, to relieve the ware houses, which are already crammed, and have not sufficient room for•the goods which arrive daily. It is intended to establish a depot at head-quarters, with 14 days' provisions for the whole army always in store. The transport of shot, &c., is stopped for a time, and the carts are assisting in taking up provi sloes. Every four men carry one cwt. A body of about 1,000 Cossacks passed down the Inkermann valley and through Camara village on the Bth. What their object was no one knows. The enemy has opened a new battery opposite to the Guards' pickets, on the heights over Inkermann. The French took down our sick on the morning °film 4th on their ambulance mules, and General Canrobert ordered that the mules should return laden with provisions to the depot at head quarters. Sixteen hundred hands were employed on the 2nd in bringing up provisions to head quarters for the depot. On the Bth, Lord Raglan leaned a general order, publishing to the army the unanimous resolutions of the Howse of Lords and Commons, expressing their sense of the conduct of the officers, non-com. Widened elvers, and soldiers, in the operations in which they have been engaged in the Crimea, in the brilliant and decisive victory on the Alma, and in the signal defeat of a very superior force of the enemy on the heights of Inkermann. After giving the text of the resolution voted, the order is continued : Levi Raglan mogratnlates the army upon receiving this userivosal recognition of their arduous cervices by the pedlement el the United Kingdom, and be is glad of the epeestasity of declaring that the manner in which the hoops have borne the privations and hardships they have bad te endure, and is which they have perfumed the Bitumens duties they have had to discharge shiest wittiest ea interval at rest, satins them not only to the *eyeball" but to the admiral= which is Lilt, and has been saasifeeted for their 'amine& throughout the United Kingdom& • The Field ltarthe bss the plower, at the same time* A gaming win was bawd by Gawval Canrobert on the 6 eirlannary, in which the French com mander thee addmeees his army floldien!—l hate already mods -known to you the flat tering and worthy terms in which it has ple a her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain to praise, through the me- Owe al hey Minister at War, your conduct in presence of the enemy.

Toll resolution of the two high assemblies is In then words : " Resolved unanimously—That thanks be given to the French army and its chief for their valiant and successful co•operation with the land forces of her Majesty in the attack on the enemy's position at the Alma ; for the oppor tune and eaargetis assistance which they afforded in re pulsing the enemy at Inkermann ; and finally, far the re markable exertions which they displayed before Sebastopol in conjunction with the British army. " Field Marshal Lord Rag lan is charged to transmit to them the present resolution. ' Thu striking manifestation is not only a proof of esteem of which you may be well proud; it is the expression of the sympathy of a great nation our ally in a cause of which all Europe proclaims the jostles. You will feel all the value of such a demonstration; and I shall enure Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, in your name and my own, that it will drew more close, if that be possible, the ties of good fellowship which strong reciprocal esteem, and blood sled in common, have constituted be tween our brave companions in arms—the British army— and onnselves.

A body of ten thousand 'good Ottoman troops is now at Eapatoria, under the command of Bebram Puha and TAD' Pee lut the son-in-law of Omer Focht. On the 31st of December the battalion of sharpshooters landed, ►acing been conveyed from Varna by the Colombo. This battalion consists of •boat 600 well disciplined men. The artillery is here, and • part of the cavalry. The town bee been fortified by French and English engineers, and at this moment can make head against 100,000 Russians. The French, English, sad Turks live on very friendly terms together. The mili tary governor of Eapatoria, • good administrator sad an excellent officer, Y. d'Osenout, whose rank on the staff is that of a chef d'escadron, is indefatigable in bringing every thing into a state of order, and he has organised a Tartar police. The Tartars ask for arms, and go out to fight courageously against the Cossacks, whose pickets and outposts an be seen by the town sentries. A few skir• mishes sometimes come off, but the Congreve rockets terrify the enemy and his horses to such a degree, that they dare nut venture too near the town, which has now a moat round it. This moat was dog by the Turkish troops under the direction of French engineer officers, both commissioned and non commissioned. There is no went of provisions, and yet a few merchants would do well if they came to Eapatoria. On the 24th of December last, the Egyptian ousel on shore, a little in front of the French Henri IV., caught fire and burned down to the water's edge. The guns will be saved and all that is in the hold. ♦bout fifty seamen, who came from Constantinople on board the Mubbi Barur, are busy at the salvage. The weather has been fine, and the cold is not great—a fortunate thing for the Tartar villagers who have taken refuge in the town, and are without previ- SWIM The Tartars are employed at dinging trenches and on the fortifications ; they are ;applied with rations, bat are very greedy, very laity, and very ignorant. We have in the roadstead the Leander, Capt. the Hon. G. J. Hastings, of the English navy. The French ship, Henri IV. has 100 men on board with gene, and the &mime cannot approach on that side. Their cavalry, some 7,000 strong, form a cordon about Eupatoria; they have artillery with them, and prevent the inhabitants from bringing supplies to the town. Every thing is now imported by sea. The roadstead of Eupatoria is bad during the winter, and the landing is difficult on amount of the surf. There is also a deficiency of barges and boats for this service. The Tartars break up whatever they can for fuel, and one mat nude keep a good look out, or they would carry away the roofs of the houses and destroy t►e boats drawn up on the beach. The town is full of mud, and in every street you meet with the dead bodies of animals at every step. The Tartars eat the young horses, and throw the offal into the streets. We are luckily in the winter, or otherwise we should have the plague. Notwithstanding the season, then is a high rate of mortality among the inhabitants ; the prevailing malady is typhus. Troops are sent every day from Varna. The Indiana arrived on the 3rd with 1,600 troops and the ferik Mehemet Facha on board. During the night of the 31st ult. the Niger, a wu steamer, arrived also from flebastopoL It brought no news of importance. They have engaged here 200 Tartar labourers to, go and work at Brinkley'. The Ottoman government would do well to settle some of thus folks in Bulgaria, for they would form excellent honouree, and, es military colonists, would cultivate the plains along the bank of the Danube. In consequence of the bad weather on the lit and 2d of this month, the troops which arrived from Varn► could not be loaded. On the 3rd the weather turned out Ant, and the Colombo, after landing its troops on board, will be able to proceed to Balaklava with a hundred stimpter-horses brought from Varna, for the officers of the British army. A few days ago they brought here about 800 Tartar hones, and sent them off to Balakiava. A letter from Odessa of the 11th, in the Cologne Gazette, states that— ' Ths.asssiaa troops twain the reserve of the Danube had unexpectedly received orders from St. Petenbarg to proceed by for marches to that town. These troops, part of the advance guard of which had already arrived in the neighbourhood of Odessa, were sold to amonat to 20,000 mace. The same letter states that in a short time Odessa would be completely surrounded with batteries, and that on the land side alone there would be 116 pieces of artillery. All the establishmente in the interior of Russia for making fire-arms and material of war were at work day and night. In coasequenos of the severe frost which had set in all navigation was suspended at Odessa, and no meal could either enter or leave the port. , J i Al .- 10 :0 : : .

The winter is dragging its slow length along, and the work of transporting the Turkish army to the Crimea has as yet made but very little Everything except the concentration of tirrolt and the collection of supplies was stopped, pending Omer Pasha's return from the Crimea. " Commie sioners " are arriving every day from Constanti nople, all charged with the same task—the em barkation of the army and its clothing and victual ling, and each of these is sock a very ores bonnet, and goes about in such state, that I am afraid he will never bring his great mind down to the trifling and commonplace details of the commissariat, with the diligence and paiustaking which are so desirable. In the meantime, however, it must be confessed things are going on In general reasonably well I much better than I had ever expected. The Egyp tian troops, who were in a deplorable state, have all received new clothing, and are quite ready to depart. The looses this fore. has suffered by dimes sines its arrival in Turkey are terrible ; many battalions are diminished by one-half ; nearly all by one-third ; but for all the purposes of actual war they are now in a better state than ever. As no role or system is pursued in the recruiting, the local authorities con tent themselves invariably with making an onslaught L on the villages under their sway, and carrying off as many of the male inhabitants as are sufficient to • make up the full quota required of them, without rei gard to age Cr physical qualification. n o consequence was that of those who arrived in Turkey fully a third were men of upwards of fifty years of age, who had served under Ibrahim Pacha in ai l Mores; many had passed sixty, and were team s , illy more or less feeble and decrepid; not 'hewn, blind of one eye t anda vast number, I might alm ost say the majority, were suffering from oplithalwo.

Inflexible, dated Varna, Jan. 9: On New Year's-day we left this place for the Crimea with Omer Pacha, accompanied by the cow missioners Colonels Simmons and Dien, Prince Sturdza, and suite. On Wednesday morning hi, highness landed at Eupatoria, and examined the defences of the place (where there are, I belies, about 10,000 troops, mostly Turks, with 40 guns), and there he left fighting old Iskender Bey, the hero of Karakal. On Thursday morning we started agais, and passing through the fleet lying off Kazatch awl Kamieoch bays, where the admiral s a l u t e d t h e pacha, proceeded to Balaklava. The Muchir had intended to examine the coast on the way down, as it was said that the Russians were again in force oa the Alma ; but the snow fell heavily and continuously, and prevented our approaching the laud. Immediately after we had anchored at Balaklava Colonel Simmons rode up to the front to acquaint Lord Raglan and General Canrobert of the Pacha's arrival, and next day, the sth, his highness took part in the council of war which was held. On Saturday we left, and on Sunday evening the Pacha disembarked at this place. We are to have the honour of carrying him again to the Crimea when he takes the field. Meanwhile we are busily superintending the embarkation of his army, which is to proceed without delay. Altogether the trip was very pleasant, despite the boisterous, gloomy, wet, and snowy weather that we experienced. We were all charmed with his highness. He is a moat winning man, so unaffectedly affable and kind, and full of fun. Everyone I fancy must admire his public character; and all who have the honour of any acquaintance with him in private meet respect and like him beyond measure. He paid us daily visits, and the day that he left he stayed nearly two hones with no. At our request he most kindly honoured each of nil with his signature on a card, in German and Turkish, adding to the former, " in remembrance of the Inflexible." His Turkish signature is Omer Loutfi—Omer the Benefactor; which title was conferred on him last year, I believe, when he was created the highest subject in the empire. He was good enough to accept a lithograph of this vessel from us, and was much pleased with the present, me he thought it showed a good esprit and, before he left, we drank his health in sparkling Epernay, and cordially wished him success and increased fame in the present campaign; and he drank to us with kind, complimentary remarks. I have not time to tell you of our achievements in the Bay of Odessa, with the Sidon, Cacique, and Caton—how we engaged and silenced Fort Nikolaev on Otchakov Point, and how we delayed the march of the reinforcements for the Crimea who fought the Battle of Inkermann, when we popped upon them near Dofinovaki and Adjalik ; but you must not think that we have been idle, merely because you have not seen us mentioned in the papers. In good truth, we have done the state some service, in our own patient, unobtrusive. way, during the eventful year that has passed.—Daily News. LETTER FROM THE CRIMEA. (num AN OPPICIE OP THI BLACK IBA FLEW* liamiesh Bay, Jaa. 2, 1846. I had a long walk on Saturday through the French quarter. Kamiesh Bay is a deep and well-sheltered inlet, having water for the largest shipping, and is now full of vessels of all shapes and sines. Transports, men-otwar, and merchant adventurers, form what really may be called a forget of masts, and all beautifully arranged and regn latesies„The French excel us by a long way in these details; anthem port of Baleklava contrasts most unfavourably with the neat, orderly, and well-regulated port of Kamiesb. A French town, too, has risen up, with streets regularly laid out, aad others marked. Soma stone and mortar buildings have been erected ; but the majority lire in wooden houses or temporary tents ; and here you ma obtain almost every requisite and comfort. Even expen sive la:swiss look one in the face—such as patties of phea sant or quailpies, about sufficient for two moderately hungry men, 26 !ranee each ; • hare the sane price ; et, 2s. 6d. a bottle, as. However, we don't indulge in such expensive luxuries, but content ourselves with more subataatial, but far less palatable, ship's provisions, or, as the French salt them " rations Acetic" The French always set aboat doing things in a very determined , and areactualle constructing an :aqueduct, with cast iron Ipipes, from 4 spring in the hill above Kamiesh down to the landing place, where they water their shipping, so we all take it easy until Sebastopol falls. When that may be I cannot even venture to prediet. Ws had dreadfully wet weather last month, from the 21st to the 24th torrents and waterfalls of all sorts. It froze on the night of the 24th, and snow fells with a hard frost 4, in the morning at six the thermometer was down to 24 deg. below freezing, and yet the officers and men live in tents and no Ares ; since then we have fine frosty weather, dry, and smart strong gusts and breezes. The wooden and iron houses for the troops are mostly arrived, and reinforcements coming in multitudes every day. The French are getting out 50,000 men, so that their force alone will amount to 130,000 men. The Russians are evidently in great dread of our steam-ships walking into the harbour, u in shown by their having two days ego suns another vessel in the passage. Our prepara tions are progressing silently but steadily, and the middle of January will make a great noise. We are all in the greatest spirits at the prospect of using up old Nick and get ting home in the summer, bet none wish to leave until the railway is made from Balaklava to Sebastopol, when we hope the eonspiiny will give us cheap excursion trains. It is said we receive medals for the Crimea, and when Se bastopol falls we shall be decorated up to the "nines:" and then they speak of giving a year's pry all round—that would be the most acceptable of all.
