At hardly any point does this spit of sandbank attain a greater breadth than a mile, whilst at the fort, and thence on to its north-western extremity, it new rows down to lees than half that width.

These unprotected guns armed the north-wasters and south-eastern hoots of the fort ; whilst three buildings on the see face were pierced with • single row of embrasures for eighteen more. The opposite side, bearing on the bay ot Klumpon, had formerly mounted twenty-foss °serenades; bat it, too, had been numerically re duced, and easterly a dome were yesterday brought to bear on oar gunboats and other vessels attacking it from the amide water.

The walls themselves consisted of an oats, facing of masonry—about two feet thick—veneering a bank of earth ; and nearly all the embrasures which pierced the covered face of the fort had been closed up, some with wood and the remainder with blocks of stone. About a mile farther up the spit, in the direction of its northern extremity, stands the middle battery, a low open earthwork, presenting only three 4.IIIIMINS to the seaboard on its south-eastern front. • simple of small white bosses, which served as a bleseek for the artillerymen, adjoin its southern aide.

The same unreliable authority Arms that before the fleet leaves the point, a flotilla of gunboats will make an experimental trip towards lecolaieff and Iberian; and I may add on my own account that Admiral Lyous is sager to gra tify the home public by the still more satisfactory operation of bombarding Odessa itself.

Ii the operations of the Allies in the Lhasa el the Dnieper lead to the rapture of Nioolaieff,:or Rhos" or both. before the close of this year's comgely, their importance will be great. If these **ln ass not achieved, the whole affair must be regarded is a amp seerigni. The capture of Fort Milburn, widths evacuation of the Malakoff forts, are only et owes (pence as giving the Allied squadrons free inpme and egrese into and from the Liman. And the Ws themselves, though of respectable strength, were me inadequate to withstand the overpowering naval foree brought against them, that their destruction is really " not worth making a song about." Bat the capture of Nicolaieff and Eheeson would not ooly cause an immense quantity of Russian stores to fall into the hands of the Allies, or be destroyed by the Russians themselves, but would intercept the direct road by which the Russian troops in the Crimea maintain their communication with Odessa, the great depot of provisions drawn from the Ukraine. It is not without anxiety, thes► fore, that we await the arrival of further intelligsmse from the Dnieper. The season is now far advanced. and we may soon expect the advent of storms, frosts, and fogs that will render any advance upon Rhereon and Nicolaieff from the seaboard impossible till the return of spring. And even during the hest sewn of the year attacks upon these places must necessarily be attended with serious &faculties. From the entry into the Liman, between Fort /Unborn and the Otoliskoff forts to the Delta of the Dnieper, is a distance of thirty-six miles. The Bug falls Into the Liman at right angles (flowing from the north) about midway. From the mouth of the Bug to Nieolaieff is a distance of twenty-four miles. The river is shallow, its course tortuous, and commanded by steep basks on both midge. If an attempt is made to approach Nicolaieff by water, the field batteries of the Russians may be brought into play to gall the flotilla at every yard of its progress. If the advance is made by land, we are utterly ignorant of the num ber ri Russian troops concentrated in the neighbour hood that can be brought to oppose it. The position Nieolaieff is naturally strong. It stands on the neck of a peninsula, two sides of which (the southern sad western) are washed by the waters of the Bug ; the third (the northern) by those of the Ingul, which there falls into the Bog. We know that great efforts have been made of late to strengthen the entrench ments ; and we know, by the experience of &bow Ispi. with what skill the Russians construct Ilarthworka, and with what pertinacity they defend them. Khanna is situated on the north bank of the Dnieper, opposite the apes et the Delta, at a distance of eighteen miles boa the Liman. The river at this part of in course is, hire the Bug, shallow and tortuous, and is divided into many channels. But it appears to be overhung only on the north side by steep banks and one of the two navigable channels is towards the southern shore. The navigation, however, is per plexed and difficult ; and a land advance to Kherson would lead the Allied troops over a greater expanse of country than an advance upon Nicolsieff. Khersou is not naturally so strong as Niecisieff; still it is placed in a hollow, surrounded on three sides by abrupt eminences which are crowned with foes and batteries. The month of the Bug, Nicolaieffi and Khanna are at the three angles of a triangle, of which the side extending from the month of the Bog to Nioolaieff is twenty-four miles long ; that extending from the mouth of the Bug to Rhonda thirty-six miles; and that from Rhona' to Nioolaieff also thirty-six. These scanty details will suffice to show that the reduction of either or both of these two places is likely to be attended with considerable diffi culties ; and there now remains little more than a month for the accomplishment of the enterprise, as the Liman of the Dnieper is frozen over from December till February. It is impossible to rant on these cir- Gemstones@ without regretting that pnoioeu weeks were wasted before the expedition started from Sebsatopl, and also that instead of steering direct. for the Linen of the Dnieper, it anchored off Odessa, where six more days were lost. It is true that the mere presence of the Allied fleets in the waters between Odessa and the mouth of the Dnieper, and their moms in the only action that hos taken place beetween them and the Russians, cennei fail to make an impression on the minds of the natives. The description given by our Correspondent of the appearance of the shores along which the squadrons sailed from Cape Fontana (the point weal of Odessa at which they first neared the land) Is Binbarn, is the picture of a country flourishing under the auspices of a long peace. The presence of a hostile and apparently resistless Armada can scarcely fail to suggest to the minds of the inhabitants that it is their own Government's lust of conquest that bee be this vlsitation upon them. The wealthy end ' Naha chines in Odessa—whoa mercantile enter► psis. is the source of the prosperity of the whoa. surrounding district--an hardly be ealled Russians. They are principally foreigners, attracted by the resources of that emporium from distant shores Their sense of allegiance to the Ceas—of identifies. Lion with the Muscovites—is extremely feeble. Rs oept in one direction Odessa is only accessible from the heart of the empire across wide and roadies§ steppes, utterly impracticable during • part of the year. The event. now in progress around Odessa cannot but prepare the minds of the inhabitants for a wish to be severed from a State which by its conduct ex poses them to hostile attacks from which it cannot effeetively defend them. But such a result is • mere contingency; it belongs to a remote biters What is wanted is some immediate decisive blow that will be felt to the core of the Ma► , oovite empire; and when all circumstances are takes into consideration, it appears extremely problema tical whether such a blow will be struck during the course of the present year.
