Military lottsve from Vienna warn so that Russia is putting firth bar utmost strength in the Crimea, and express doubts whether the real force of the Csar's army in that peninsula, and of the tarps marching daily into it, is properly estimated in Eng land either by the government or by the pablio. Mach astonishment is exposed that the English an expect to obtain moms by negotiation, whoa their diplomacy is so ill-supported by military activity at home as well as in the Crimea. The Vienna Presto of the 14th publishes an article to show that the proper termination of the war would be the evacuation of the Crimea by the allies— France and England henceforth defending Turkey by see, and Austria holding the Principalities and per forming the same service by land. The dugaltsay Ginetie of the same date publishes an article mock ing the failures of the allies in the Crimea, and urg ing the states of Germany to rally to Austria, as the real arbitrator on the affairs of the East. The laves6dossce of Bromide gives the following 1 as part of a letter from Odessa of the 4th lost.:— •" At intervals we can distinguish from the heights three or four of the enemy's war ships in the distance. This, however, does not hinder our small merchant vessels making daily pumps to the coasts of the Crimea and back, carrying provisions for the use of the Russian array." The Sardinian steam frigate Costitnzione left Genoa on the 11th for Constantinople, with part of the staff of the engineer corps of the Piedmont's. expedition, and a number of medical officers. BT.

The gentlemen who at present grace Ea tore by their preemies, however, are said to mod their predeces sors in the use of their lire-arms I the majority—so runs the tale—being able to bring down a bare with a ball while riding at fall gallop. I have not as yet been witness of any of these proofs of skill, but 1 see no reason to entertain any doubts upon the matter. They are all armed either with long gene or lances; pistols with bashi-basouks are never wanting. Some have sabres, which are always thrust between the left thigh and the saddle; the greater member also "sport" yateghass, the sickle with which good Mussulmans of the old school reap the gory harvest of heads on the battle-field, which in bygone days wrung grim smiles and large baksheesh from the presiding pasha. The best part of their equipment is, however, undoubtedly their lances. They are not the huge, clumsy, iron-shod poles of European cavalry, which are nodal only in the shook of a whole line, and are a worthless bard, KaDIBOI, Aram 2. This day has again been announced as the one on which our artillery was to open against Sebastopol. It has come round, and our artillery has not opened. There was some cannonading early in the morning, but nothing unusual, nothing to disturb the tranquil lity of the camp. Saturday and Sunday have pawed with an equal &been°e of events. In fact, nothing has been going on but an east wind, which set in on Friday night, and which has kept the camp a-shiver ing ever since. It is the more painfully felt from the heat which preceded it. We must of course be pre , pared for • couple of relapses of the kind before we fairly have achieved summer; but, in spite of all preparation, these relapses are painful and trying in more than one respect. To be shaken in our faith in the existence of clothing ; to fall a prey to the con viction that worzteds are a sham and fors a delusion ; to consider animal heat as a mere vulgar prejudice ; and to become a sceptic even as to the heat of fire, is a process of unusual painfulness ; and yet all this scepticism is forced upon the wretches who confront the east wind in its native land. Last year about this time, when first exposed to the east wind on the shores of the Bosphorus, the impression on my mind was that never before had I known what cold was like, and most assuredly the experience of the last few days has confirmed that impression. From all I hear my own feelings are shared by the dwellers in of Bslaklava and the campers out on the hills. Everyone is shivering, everyone has been chilled; clothing seems to be of no use, and there is chattering of teeth even over braziers of glowing charcoal. Our only and ready consolation II that this sort of thing cannot last ; that this is the third day of the infliotion, and that the wind mast soon change to another quarter. We are fairly out of March, and April is • spring month even in the sunny East. And we have already bad more than a slight taste of the genial warmth of the Crimea. Before you receive this letter it is likely that those who now madly gallop over the hills to get up a glow, or who, wrapped up in furs, bold their shivering hands over the mocking coals of a brasier, will slowly toil up the hillside, crying out for shade, or luxu riously recline on camp beds, with • sigh now and then, or a groan or a curse, as the case may be, at the infernal closeness of a bell tent. when Weenier begins, and every man is Kt to his own resources. The lanes of the Arab is long, light, flexible, and keen. He whirls it, tarns it, br andishes it over his head like • single stick, picks a ring off the ground with it at the wildest gallop, and hurl it with an aim that rarely mimes. A Turk, matchless with his old curved sabre, rarely knows how to use a lance ; in the hand of the Arab it is the queen of wespons for a cavalier. And what horsemen they are I—these rugged, wild-looking, her garly savages, with their bare brawny sews, their naked throats, their indescribable 021116•11110• Wee, their woe-begone slippers, and old rest, slue" stirrups! A.y whipper in would tarn up hie nose ladle dein if he survived has first outburst of laughter at their " turn out," but if his life sad limbs depended as hie outdoing them in horsemanship, I sumps* be mini/ look upon it as a very melancholy and eispierable business. To see one of these tatter&malion brigands giving way . to his animal spirits on a fine morning on the plain, is certainly pleasant to the eyes of any admirer of Man the animal, let him deplore ever .o deeply the neglected state of his morals. From per fect repose he starts into a gallop, and traverses perhaps a hundred yards at the top of his horses speed, stops with as much rapidity as he started, wheels in the narrowest circle in which a four legged beast can wheel, brandishes his lance or loads and fires his gun—steed and rider, eye, hand and wea pon ever moving in the nicest mart. They are quite a study, these men—not merely for an artist, but for a humonriet, or moralist, or any one, in fact, whom human nature in a wild, natanght, untutored and if you will, uncorrupted state, with its savage puska", its doubtful virtues, its naive ideas, its blind faith, its feebleness, its follies, can move to tears or laughter, or meditation. Everything about the bashi-banuk, strange u the statement may seem, is terribly earnest. Life for him is full as al and as serious as for any missionary amongst can nibals, or secretary of a Dorcas society. He robs, just as a barrister moves for a rule, because it is a simple and neesseary incident in a proftasion in which he hasi been brought up, and which he pursues with ardour and enthusiasm. As to any ideas of the existence of certain moral laws prohibiting the appro priation of other people's property, I do not think mach a thing ever enters into his head. The grooming and feeding of his horse, the cleaning of his arms, the prowling about for his prey, and the flare lentiug destruction of his enemies, are to him the great and leading duties of a life to which the gentler emotions which pow and flourish in a more advanced state of civilisation are unknown. His religious faith is, I imagine, as strong as that of any devotee of the age. He is an intensely selfish ruffian, but no one ever preached to him against selfishness, and in his eyes it is rather a virtue than a fault. Hatred of infidel', prayers, and ablutions, form the sum of his doctrine and practice. He volun teers to fight the " Mennen," partly from a sense of religious duty which impels him to cut the throats of giaours and, plunder their goods, and partly from a desire of personal gain. But in all this he is no light hearted, gay adventurer, flattering himself be is load ing a jolly life, and seeing the world : he is • mho% dignified personage, engaged in the performing of great duty, and never in the smallest degree disposed to indulge in pleasantry. He is guilty of de bauch—coffee and water are his only beverages, rice and bread his main diet : in the item of meat he scarcely goes beyond a fowl; his only friend is horse ; hie bed on any spot where the night overtakes him; and his dreams, I suspect, instead of running on absnt loves, on home, on youth, mostly build up huge piles of smoking pillaf—put him on a prancing at, lay at his feet a dead Russian covered with plun der, or an oka of Stamboul tobacco, and he wakes re freshed and happy : Attempts to discipline these men an useless. They must be taken and used as they are, or not at al t. They do the work of scouts excellently; they would annoy and alarm the enemy, threaten his convoys, harass infantry, &c., as well as any Cossacks, but they can never be prevented from plundering, burn ing, slaughtering the wounded, unarmed, defenceless. Among the flying rumours in the latter half of last week was the rumour of an expedition against the Russian position in the plain. This morning has, indeed, shown some activity in that direction, but it is the activity of defence rather than of attack. Our men are throwing up some advanced intrenchments a good distance out in the plain, and our pickets are doubled and part of the troops under arms to repel the Russians, in cue they should think proper to interfere with our proceedings. Up to this hour (two p.m.) they have shown no inclination for doing so. In my opinion, it is their object not to provoke us into hostilities on the Balaklava front, for in spite of all that is said about the large number of Russians hid be hind the hills, I do not believe that they are in sufficient force, either to attack us or to defend their positions against an attempt of ours to take them. My opinion ia founded on the losses which the Rus sian army hu suffered in the course of the winter, which losw have not been made up by the arrival of fresh troops from the interior. Deducting the troops detached against Omer Pacha from the 80,000 eM oient troops which may have existed at &kWh& anal and Simpheropol, and in the lines of Balaklava —deducting also the daily wear and tear of Sebasto pol, for disease is at work there, and the Russian sorties are made at a loss of an average of 600 per 'reek, I do not believe that we have above 20,000 men before us in Bahaism plain. This opinion is confirmed by the ready manner I. which the Russians have fallen back on those rare occasions when we or the French made a sortie into the plain. They were not in force to contest the ground. There is a rumour, too, and has been for some time past, of large reinforcements that were expected by our enemies having failed them, owing to a military revolt at Nicolajeff. If this be really the case—and the confirmation of the report bas, I understand, come to very high quarters--then the Russians must be cramped for men, and will not do aught to provoke us into operations, which they must assuredly pray to Heaven to delay until they are in a fitter condition to meet them. The fortifications still °Dadaist) to arise on every side ; nothing is to be seen but redoubts. The soldiers are getting quite sick of this eternal digging. One aptly remarked to his captain the other day, who was " wigging " him for not paring off a oountersoarp in better style—" I don't know anything about this. If the Russians are to be fought by Labia. (redoubts), why wets we not taught to dig, instead of being drilled with musket' r Mechlin Packs has given in his resignation as chef-d'etat-major, and goes away today. This has occurred in ooesequenos of a quarrel with Omer Pasha. Finding, it appears, that everyone was laughing at him, and that no one paid any attention to his orders, he wrote the generalissimo • rather insolent letter, asking permission to join Ismail Pasha at Shumla. This led to a terrific uproar, which has ended in the way I have described. This is now the fifth paella whom death or a squabble has re moved from the scene of action sines the landing of the Turks in the Crimes. With the exception of young Tefwik Paoha, Omer Paella's nephew, and young T.fwik Paoha, omev Packs's aephew, sod Selim Paths, the loss of the others is rather a matter for rejoicing than for regret. The Commander-in-Chief has long been announcing his intention, and, for aught I know, honestly en deavouring to weed the bad men out of the army. I would he had made greater progress.

The Bourse was greatly inclined to rise this morn ing, owing to the announcement in the Moniteur that the bombardment of Sebastopol had been commenced. But the tendency of speculation received a rude check by the telegraphic announcement of a further fall of in Consols. People hesitated to believe in this great decline, and thought there must be some mistake in the despatch, but a second mis sive from London reporting Console at 89t, j, with • further fall of I, left little room for doubt. The fall was explained here in this way. There was a rise of yesterday, in conse quence of an article in the 611 obi stating that the loan would be sixteen millions repayable in thirty annuities. But it was afterwards known that the bankers had decided, is their interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the loan should be negotiated not in Annuities, but in Console. It was, therefore, expected that the monied interest would continue to depress the market in order to obtain the loan at a cheap rate, and that a continued fall may be looked for until the completion of the affair.

He went over to Gall poll, sad *seared a magasina there, and he arranged for • large storehouse on the Dardanelles.

He had been with the army during the whole of the Peninsular woe, and had sub sequently been • commitment officer at several important military stations abroad. The War Department de liberately selected him to accompany the army to the Bast, as being their beat commissariat officer, and in consideration of kis tried and approved ser vices. There wee one aasistanvoonimiseary geasral with seek division of the army, and a deputy assistant or an ex perienced commissariat clerk to each brigade of infantry On the 31st March the whole commissariat force amounted to 44 persons, and it was increased to 49 on the 6th June, when the army was at Varna. This number, however, did not include subordinates, whom Mr. Filder had full power to engage on the spot. Before Mr. Felder left Con stantinople, and before the army went to Verna, he sent to Malta for 200 mule carts; he also sent hoots directions to the authorities to obtain 600 melee in Spain ; he procured 300 males at Malta ; and all the mules that could be had at Smyrna A* obtained there. Mr. Filder reckoned that 3,000 maths of the country, and 6,000 mules would be ne ossony, sea transport service for the army when in Bulgaria, then modelling of 26,000 men. Just before the army left Varna for the Crimea, the commissariat transport servos, in Mr. Rider's estimation, was sufficient to move provisions tot them for 13 days proepeetively, provided each soldier carried three days' rations with him, as was usual. Me. Filder never reported to the goveromeat that the tram ps, service was deficient or otherwise. To Lord Seymour—The commissariat was in nowise Is blame if there was my deficiency of tents, hoessolethe, nosebags, and things of that sort for the army. It was the duty of the quartermaster-general to provide stores ef that deocriptioa, to keep t,imself acquainted with the quantity of such stores is band from time to time, and to have them margined as occasion required ; it was no part of the duty of the commissariat to provide stores of that kind. All that the Commissariat Deportment had to do was to hold those stores as storekeepers for the quartermaster general. Previous to the expedition leaving England, it was thought desirable that the troops should, as far eel possible, have the same description of diet as they bad been sesseterned to at home, and supplies of porter, aurae, men, tee, and other articles wet* furnished to the trooos before they arrived at Yarns ; but subsequently, the sugar and coffee, and also the tea, but to a less ex tent, begun to be consumed so rapidly, that the Commander-in-Chief deemed it right to order that those articles should be issued at fixed rations. At that time the oppression and dangerous pvernments more clearly and more wisely then all the wisdom of wily politicians and all the secrecy of canning diplomatists enabled them to detect. Ton lir ter class were sometime disposed to think that emote directly affecting the freedm and national existence of a particular people did not necessarily influence the condition of other nations, and whits they saw Poland struck out from ' the list of the living, Hungary prostrate by • lawless com bination of despots and by the bottle holders of despots, fair Italy reduced to a mere geographical name, or Germany in the Herodian condition of ministering to princesses —they thought that those and similar matins did not affect the condition and the security either of England, Prance, or the rest. Them miserable votaries of • mi.erable expediency shrugged their shoulders with indifference, being tin der the influence of • self-conceited coml. nee, exclaiming " What are these things to us ? We are not our brother's keeper." (Hem, hear.) There was a immunity in nations, and liberty was the common good of the great human family. Wh that received any detriment, a shock wee given to every member of that family, and the liberty of every one became less is amount, or deficient In security. (Hear, hear.) However isolated nations might appear, there were always two principles struggling in every poli tical storm—namely, freedom End oppression—and what was gained by one principle was lost by the Ether. Hence they saw that wb gallant people had fallen down victims to oppression, the agony of their falling brethren etruek like a thunderbolt at the heart of good men. Directly a nation fell, a shoat of indignation anise from tie beet WI of hanisaity,a yell of horror from the noblest of human hearts, because a sense of the immanent danger was brought , home to the instinct of self-preservation. There was a saiventl cry of sympathy and horror at the tidings if the fall of Poland and Hungary; for the danger resulting therefrom was not one of ordinary dimensions. There was an agglomeration of slumbering lava in the womb of that vrlcanc—(hear, bear)—and the cry that had been rZed at the tall of those nations was a cry attested by in spired prophecy. How slow was the progress of the logic of events ? The steps of history completely Willed the ex pee.stions of the measurers by the yard. Poland and Hun pry fell, and because the heavens did not break down Instantly—because the stars did not fall from their eau termed spheres, sad because the earth centinued to go round, the horror subsided and uni 1 sympathy went away. He did not complain of that, for such was the nature of man. Those who fell under the weight of great via ional misfor tunes were pitied for a while, then were looked upon with indifference and forgotten won; sometimes more than forgotten, shunned like a burden and avoided as a nuisance. (Cheers.) But whilst such as experience attested the general weaknem of human nature, a bountiful Providence chose some spatial instruments, and the men so selected were raised above the ordinary level of man's nobility. In thou few exalted characters we saw our nature redeemed—our nature consolidated with the noblest piaci plea. In such men there would be no weariness from watch ing, no relaxation on account of disappointments,no exhaus- Soo In consequence of frustrated hopes. With thou few cha rumen success did not excuse crime. (Hear.) They had not two eats of measures—one for ragged robbers in the high way, and another for robbers set over them 'in purple—one punishment for a briber at a borough election, and another for a royal robber wit., might obtain the sympathy of a na tion. Those few characters knew that morality was not excluded from politics; they bad companion for the safer tueate, sympathy for the suffering, sad a sentiment of fra ternity towards all who were oppressed. (Hear, hear.) With such characters those were not passing emotions caused by sudden emergencies but principles of their whole lives. In them, to use the words of Bt. Paul, they,lived,and moved, and had their being. One of the noblest and purest of thou characters was the man whose memory they had that night assembled to boomer. No man had bees more conspicuous for his virtues than Lord Dudley Blurt. There was no man in whom pub lic and private virtues were more nobly blended with unpretending modesty and unostentatious sincerity. He had been the colleague of their excellent chairman (Bit. B. Hall), and never could he have a better. The gentlemen of Ilas7lebone had been his constituents, and never had their dace been better placed. (Hear, hoar.) Many of thou present bad associated with him in his patriotic and philanthropic exertions. All those circumstances were high and weighty claims upon them to honour his memory—high and weighty claims up re them to evince towards him their public and private gratitude. Alas that all that was left to Sum now was to pay veneration to his memory. He would sake his feeble means to any exertion that might be made to do honour to his name; but, in his humble opinion, there was a. better means of doing honour to his memory thus by raising statues and the like. Of him they might say with the poet-- ore perenntua. In his opinion the best means of doing honour to his memory was to imitate his example. He might be equalled, but she weld never be surpassed. He was present at a meeting having a similar object in view a few days ago. He osier d to be excused for confessing frankly that the satisfaction he derived on that occasion had not been without a tinge of !sorrowful me lons:heir. It forced itself upon his mind that few at that meeting who united in paying a tribute of praise and admi ration to the memory of the man when he was deed, were found united with him in the glorious objects which, when living, he permed. (Hear, bear.) If all those who desired to pay • tribute of respect and admiration to the memory of Lord Dudley Stuart bad supported him in his exertions, and had assisted him in his efforts to throw the weight of England into the male of national justice, bow different the condition of Europe would have been now—bow differ ent the condition of Hoglandirelf would have been at this moment ! (Cheer) Those events which east a gloom of mourning over thousands of British hearts were )terrible evidence that hie entisingphilentbropy towards the suffer ing, and his persevering a tuition to the cause of oppressed nationalities, would have been • better and wiser policy than that which presided, and still pre sided, over the destinies of the world. (dear, hear.) That was not an occasion for dwelling upon public events, but he was • plain, frank man, and therefore he claimed permission to say that if those stirring events were not suffi cient to inspire all admirers of Lord Dudley Stuart to use all their exertions in that line of policy with which the noble lord had been identified for the last 26 years, then he must confer that any monument raised to hie memory would form • strange contrast to the contemporary history of the British empire. Considering the noble nature of his heart and the peculiar leaning of his philanthropy, he thought that something in the way of public charity would be more appropriate than a statue. Whether it were an institution for the blind, as Sir B. Hall bad suggested, or an asylum for poor refugees in sickness and disnese—anything to do good for those to whom he was a father during his life, would prove more acceptable to his immortal spirit, .h:ch might then be hovering over that assembly, than • statue, which the living pared by, and fer which the dead did not care. M. Kossuth concluded by expressing his hearty con currence in the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. Dern proposed the following resolution r—" That this sn , sting is profoundly impressed with the conviction that services so rare, disiaterested. and patriotic, eminently deserve to be commemorated by a becoming public testimo nisi ; and that, for the purpose of co operating with ,the committee already formed in order to carry this object into effect, the following ntlemen be appointed a committee for the borough of aryiebone :—Sir B.

MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE. The committee, after some minor matters in evi dence yesterday, proceeded to inquire into the conduct of the commissariat deputment. The conaittn-roors, eon sequent, in all probability, on the day of adjournment not being precisely borne in publics recollection, was by no means so crowded as usual. Mr. Ball, who since the last meeting of the committee has best appointed eminent secretary to the Colonial Department, was not present, neither was his place supplied by any new member, though Colonel Lindsay moved from his own place to occupy that lately tenanted by Mr. Ball. Mr. Maxwell, on. of the commission appointed to inquire into the medial administration of the army in the Best, was recalled, tied said that one of the things that struck them forcibly in their investigation was the necessity of *ending out washing, wringiog, and drying machines ; and ultimately these machines came out, though they were a long time lying is the Golden Horn. The duties of the commission were to inquire into the condition of the sick and wounded, and into the state of the hospitals. The pur veyors told him that the original contrast for the washing had broken down, and that they were the" raising into new ones ; but they could not impress on the commandant the nasally of tan" any particular step, whether the contract succeeded or not, their duty being not to ream. mend, but to inquire and report to the Duke of Newcastle. Soon after their arrival they received a letter from the Adjutant General, written by the direction of Lad Raglan, complaining that certain inquiries had not been submitted to his l ord ship's approval ; aad is cossequence of this a divisional order was issued to the effect that of and servants should not give say information as to hospital arrangements, except under thus authority of the commander-in-chief; and w far the awlffeiwity of the eon mission was overruled by the eammenrilmeln-chief.

To the Chairman—No complaints bad been made to the Treasury of the difficulties experienced by the troops in routing their coffee, such as bad been descri bed by Sergeant Dawson in his evidences before the committee. The reason of sending oat the coffee unroested was that experience had taught them that it would hove lost its flavour and become in a greet measure useless it it bad been otherwise. With respect to porter, se much of that was supplied when the troops were at Varna as the transport of the country was equal to ; betides, it was ea article of such great bulk as to render its supply precarious at so great a distance from this ountr7. Up to December, all ithat was required by the Commissariat was supplied by the Treasury in ample quantity. The witness was under examination when the committee adjourned until 12 o'clock to-morrow (this day). TESTIMONIAL TO LORD DUDLEY STUART.
