The public ere completely mastered the ease. They are is pos. seen= of all the avidness submitted to the aelnelegsl Committee, and a great deal more. The sal.mt has teen eandried in Parliament sad out of dears kr moaths. Men's minds are made up; sad every mid her who votes against evidence and ream, and every member who shrinks from recording his vote, •will have to account at the hustings for his eandoet. The House of Condoms swan get rid of the dill salty by voting the pesetas. question without in*. coverably stedtifying and degrading itself. Months ego it voted, by a large majority, that the sooounts of the condition of oar army in the Crimea were of such a nature as to render a solemn inquiry into their truth indispeasable. A Committee was appointed, imposed of members friendly to the present Ministers, of members friendly to their late col leagues, and of members opposed to both. The Com mittee was instructed to inquire whether our army had suffered as much us was represented r--what was the canes of its sufferings P-end who were responsi ble for them P It examined persons who had been in the Crimea and witnased with their own eyes the con dition of the army ; ponces employed in the different cams of Clodrameat connected with the management of the war ; and the Ministers who had taken a responeible part in that management. After a protracted inquiry, the Committee reported that the sufferings of oar army had far exceeded what is the seersary sonsequence of warlike operations ht the Andy that its extra anfieriap had remelted from the shameful seal-arganiesties of our Government depart meats, and from want of doe foresight sad energy to weed or compsmits tor those thiamin on the part of the responsible Mini ids Awed with the conduct of the war. We &Abe. rate judgement of the Committee has bed nab sated to the Hood of Gemmons, aloe, wish the dichosa, written and oral, upon whisk It rats. It is now the duty of the House, site impaling the ambasices of the report with the widens, to declare whether they are well • ill founded; sad if they an well-founded to visit with its coadiga omen the offending Ministers. To shrink from the discharge of this duty will her in do pen al the Home °likened% to trifle with Om pi. these at the nation, to omit the performance of am of Its most vital obligations, to abdicate its find tied. Such conduct would convict the House, se a body, of frivolity, incapacity, utter deadness to a mead of its important dense. It must say " Aye" or "No" to the declaration submitted for its adop tion by Mr. Roducx, that a brave army has been wantonly °congaed to unnecessary suffering, and that the Ministate who have done this have incurred the grave oeuvre of the nation's representatives. The paltry Wisdom by which it Is sought to divert the House of Commons from the washer s . .r duty cannot bear the slightest or most cursory examination. It is alleged by Mr. Lows and others that to blame Ministers for the mismanagement of the war may give umbrage to our ally the Emperor of the Fames. The House of Commons hes already disposed of that argument. It declared that there wee nothing in it when it voted that the inquiry should proceed. And there is nothing in it. The inquiry and the proposed sen tence of oondenuestion have no reference to the general policy of the war. or to anything ia.which oar ally is concerned; but solely to the manner in which our own Government have dis charged that part of the task of protecting Turkey which devolved upon them. The question at issue is exclusively domestic, and no foreign :power has a right to say a word on it. Nor has the &SPIRO& expressed a wish or attempted to interfere, although there is good reason to believe that an sin mei at one time made by men in albs here to shied Itim into such sawn* and unwarrantable interfeeenes. Again, the news of yesterday—with all the unction of a Mother Cole—assumes the law page of hypocrisy, and exhorts Parliarneat and the nation to leave the punishment of Ministers to Heaven. There is no doubt that Heaven in its own good time and mg punishes all offenders whom the folly or crimimdity of men permits to escape from the penalties of human laws. But it is not the leas the right and the duty of society to protect itself spinet future delinquents by inflicting exemplary punishment upon =Wag of fenders. To allow the guilty to escape big branded even by reproof, is to encourage them and others to a repetition of the offence. The judge and jury might as well be told to dismiss a convicted pickpocket without puuiebment, because Heaven would punish him in time. Lastly, Lord SEYMOUR would have as believe that the exposure which has been made by the Committee will ensure better management for the future, and that a vote of sensors is to be depre cated as a mere useless expression of vindictive spleen; The answer to this allegation is, that the 'spasm.* has produced no amendment. At this moment there is almost as much neglect and mis management on the part of Government as at any period of the war. Not long before the abortive attack spot the Redan, it was found that caresses bad been mat oat by the Board of Ordnance which had been manufactured fifty years ago, and which had in that lapse of time undergone such a chemical change as to be destructive to our own soldiers,while they were useless when employed against the enemy. Again, we were told lately that the army is now amply supplied with porter; but this has since been discovered to be a wilful misrepresentatioa, in sane& as only one division has been so supplied. Nepotism is also as rank as ever in the adminis tittles of the army and navy, as witness the late promotion eta near rebates of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S, who had to be passed through an irregular examina tion to enable him to obtain it, over the heads of brave and distinguished oilier% And winter &Albin, which was mot seat to the Crimea in time to protect ear soldiers, exposed without huts to the inelesesacy al the meson, ham actually been forwarded to the Crimea within these feff weeks.

In the meantime, they were destroying the neighbouring villages, and they bad out off all oom manloation with the town. A vigorous attach upon Bars appeared to be inevitable. The garrison were, however, folly resolved to defend the place with energy. withdrawal of the Marquis of BIANDPORD'S I Bill for the better management of Episcopal and Capitals: Estate' leaves open for determination, next year, the whole question of the bat mode of dealing with church property, and the best appropriation of , the increased revenue so obtainable. Bir Ozonox GREY, on the part of the Government, has intimated, that it is proposed to refer to the cousideration of a Beloit Committee of the Roue of Commons next year, not alone the question of the better manage ment of &arch property, but also, the consolidation The Turks of Erveroom have reoeived arias, sad all the Maessluten of Trebisonde are called up to succour Bare. of the several oOlmiiseions by which church affairs are for the most part administered.

This intimation Mr. APILIY Pituarr not unreasonably improved, by suggesting that the provision of church rates from this source might at the same time be considered ; and Mr. Broom insisted upon the claims of church lessee, to continue to profit by the present ecolesiaatical bad management.

The brief discussion brought therefore into view the several claimants for the surplus of the Mammal- Gal loaves and fishes. The Cathedral Commission, The Constantinople letters of the 9th, by the Indus, have arrived, with news front the Crimea to the 7th. Their contents are of little importance. The state ment that a grand funeral ceremony took place at Constantinople, when Lord Raglan's remains arrived' there in the Candor., is contradicted. Lord Stratford de Redoliffe, accompanied by his secretaries and attaches, went on board the meal that contained the body, but there was no other solemnity. Rear-Admi ral Charmer wee about to leave for France. composed of episcopal and canonical dignitaries, re quires the creation of new bishoprics and their proper endowment, with fall capitals: corporations. The Marquis of BLANDVOID prays for the proper main tenante of the working clergy. The Dissenters, and many Churchmen point to the extinc tion of church rates (thus returning to Lord Joan Rusexu.'e scheme in 1835). The church lessees deny that any improvement is obtain able save by unfairly depriving them of long enjoyed benefits. And the Government desire much to ascertain the amount of revenue really obtainable. The news of the Turkish loan will reach Constan. tipple in happy time, for the embarrassment of the Government was very great. The bankers who, when they do lend to the Porte, are in the habit of taking usurious interest, had declared that they were not likely to have any spare fends for some time to come. In this difficulty the Divan had applied, through the French Chem!, d'Affaires, to M. de Rothschild, whose agent at Constantinople had, it is said, advanced flee millions. Great fears were enter tained that Bars would be taken by the liumians. The Turks were vaguely hoping for aid from the Allies, having no confidence in their own resources. Men, hones, provisions, transports, are all reported as wanting. It was only with the utmost difficulty that a battalion of 800 men was got together on the 9th to send to Ads by way of Trebizonde. The Pram d'Oriera notices 118 follows a curious rumour: —"A report hue been spread, that Marshal Bars guay d'Hilliers was about to arrive here, on his way to assume the command in chief of the Allied armies in the Best. We are enabled to state that despatches from Paris, of July 3rd, which reached Constanti nople on the 6th, make no mention of the Marshal's departure, nor even of his nomination to the cam mend." Morseling to the statements of the church lessees the value of the property of scolesiasttoal oorpora tions exceeds thirty millions, and according to Lord BLANDTORD about one-fourth will prove to be avail able for distribution. Other authorities take the por tion of church property under consideration as worth twenty millions, and are of opinioa that one-fifth will prove available. The last reports of the &clones deal Commission, so far as they are intelligible at all, seem to support this latter view: inasmuch as a surplus of hoo ineedred thousendposinde appears to have been realised oat of property somewhat exceed ing &million of money in value. The magnitude of these amounts makes it rather a matter of surprise that neither the Cathedral Com- 1 minion nor any other investigating body has endea voured to ascertain what revenues are likely to be realised. It may prove that air W. CLAY'S self denial in refusing to take them into oonsideration with reference to church rates was altogether mis placed; or it may prove that the intimation oonveyed by the Cathedral Commiseioners, that little, if any, improvement can be made, is well founded. But in either awe it is impossible that the government of the day, whatever its polities may be, can allow the next end= to pass without a fall investigation. No r is the other branch of the subject of less importance. At present the public is bewildered among t►e Ca thedralCommirrion, the Beolesiastioal Commission, the Church Building Commission, the Bab-division of Parishes Commission, the Queen Ann's Bounty Board, and the thousandotheriemi-ecclesiastical boards—each appointed for the purpose of carrying out some small detail which should properly form part of the duties of one general department, responsible directly to Par liament for its administration of church affairs.

The funeral meanies was made up of a hundred men of our own Guards, as a guard of honour; of detachments of Foglia. Freaeh, and Sardinian cavalry and artillery ; of ow dicer from each of oar own regiments, and the sues from those of the allies, with the generals ot all three. as mourners ; of his lordshiVe personal staff, Colossi Somerset, and Sir Edmund Lyons, as chief mourners ; and of Generals Simpson, Pellimier, Della Mar mon, and Omer Pasha as pall-bearers. The coffin was borne along on a gun, drawn by eight black horses, and covered with the Union Jack, sur mounted by the hat, sword, and baton of the de ceased. Besides the regular cortige, a vast number ot spectators, afoot and on horseback, accompanied the dead chief; and on the procemion reaching the French lines, these were vastly augmented by others who, as well as the hundreds that stood with bared Woodson either side asit passed, testified the mondial" ous respect for him whom all admired and loved as a man. Slowly the long line wound over hill and aeons down, to the solemn music of the Dead March is Saul, which fell upon the ear with a peculiar impeo sirens= amid these scenes of war and death is • fir off land; whilst ever and anon the heavy booming el our own and the enemy's trench guns came m on the air, adding its stern force to this lawn of d 1 l and human nothingnees which was passing before the eyes of the witnessing thousands—all ot them but ' 1 too familiar, alas, with harsher, though ham imposing.' illustrations of the same unwelcome truths. Shortly before 7 o'clock the procession reached Huatish, when the coffin was transferred to a state barge, which bore it off to the Cando; through lines of boats, whose mews " tossed" their oars as the corpse passed alms. The ship's steam was already uthsaard an in a few minutes she stood out to sea, d, sundown, had disappeared below the long= line of the horizon. Thus St. Arnaud, Men and Raglan have passed away—the last of them leaving the great drama of which they acted the parts little sore advanced than when the first from the scene. From trenches, the last four days have given little to report. The botched eight-gun battery *rested by oar engineers near the old tught.gun bat- 1 tory, to reply to the small Ruske six-gun work between the Malakhoff and Rodin, having proved too low for guns, has been wisely oniverted into a bomb t:r, and may be hoped to do good service in this ty when a great occasion next arises for the' employment of its metal. Betides this addition to oar own works of attack, the French have added to 1 theirs a small 2 gun battery nearly in front of their ' recently captured White Works, to the right of the Reed= Careening Battery, and almost on the very shore of the harbour. This new work is to be armed with a couple of Lancashire, intended to dispeose long-range compliments with the shipping, should the latter continue to be in their present tempting anchorage aloegg the northern shore. Their sap to wards the Malakhoff is still vigorously pushed on; and we have commenced following their example by opening a similar means of approach to the Rodeo. Bo far something is being dons towards the great end mo long unachieved; but with what result remains to be seen. A couple of painful in cidents from the enemy's fire have occurred since the date of my last letter, which merit mention in the absence of anything . more important The' first happened on Toast 7 met, whoa a round shot, fi:nass, occupied at the time by a strong guard of Rifles, and, enfilading the work, knocked over four teen men, taking off nine legs and otherwise muti lating the unfortunate fellows in its way. Though the trench is an old one, a shot had been known to pass down its length in a similar way before • but since this untoward occurrence a traverse is being carried athwart it, which will prevent a like mister tune for the future. The second accident, if such it an be called, occurred only last evening, when Ompt Campbell, of the Artillery, was killed by a shell. This officer had seen probably as much trench navies during the course of the siege hitherto as any other 1 in his corps, without having ever before received even a trifling wound. Lest evening he was p.. irizir forto leave the ni t g b: t tre w z e oh n , aftstrellhasvimg b trsek r i t: w oe the head, and, bursting as it fe a ll, tore his whole body into frmgmenta. It is these, and the many equally sad episo&e, which are daily and nightly occurring, which make one feel how costly, in our best blood, is even this long continued inactivity—disturbed, as it, ham been, only by the four mealtime bombardments. Spread over a long series of days and nights, our casualties seem slight ; but when to those who thus actually fall under the enemy's fire be added the not short list of the many whom cholera, fever, and dy sentery are weeding out of nearly every regiment in carp, it requires no long time the common tf earry things, eff tm. m any ostb as y active senior in a hard fought and productive cam paign. Lest night, and that preceding it, the can nonading on both aides was unusually brisk, and during both the sharp pattering of the leaden hail of the musketry bespoke liveliness in other directions than the batten's. But nothing of moment has scoured; much of our own fire was given in compliance with a very sensible order lately tuned by General Simpson, to the effect that in every instance in which the enemy throws either shot or shell into our works, our gunners are at ere to give beck the special gun that fired two for one of the missile it discharged. Lord Raglan had, sin gularly enough, given contrary directions; with a view, I suppose, of saving ammunition; but surely this was very questionable mammy, as we experienced to our me from the great number of what might be reeloomed shames casualties from odd shots of the enemy's gloms Within the last few days they licimilmed eerier points along our own and de 16-inch ar 164rh i leli% dfled wi with =lete—begs whisk ignite and 11110411 in all g = after the shell iteelf—amd to these we have partially replied with area=; but owing to their age--many of them dating from the begin ning of the present century-these last have damaged nearly as many of our own use as of the enemy, and their us has consequently been discontinued. _ _ When to these ineideits I add the report — & - t General Loden entered Sebastopol yesterday with large reinforcements of men and materiel, and that two days oat of the four aims the outgoing of the last mail have been heavily rainy, I have given you nearly every wrap of rumour and fact which has fur nished material for camp remark sines my lest letter. Of this reported arrival of Laden nothing is known beyood the feet of its being to-day one of the current Ae shaves, which often prove founded on fact, but quite as frequestly, perhaps, turn out to be only th e product of some lively imagination that takes plea sure in providing talk-matter for its neighbours. 1 (FROY OUR DAIZIUBL) LATE ON THE TURKISH CAMP, MASKOMINA, JULY 6.

Inevitable where they are col lected togethee in large masses, and allowed to remain long oa the same spot in inaction and idleness. At a time when more than ordinary caution is nesessary . to guard against the thousand treacheries of the a ir, they become more than ordi narily heedless. Without anything to do, they pass the day snoring on the ground or in the sun, or swallowing large quantities of cold water, which, in this coaniry, let it be ever so pure, or let the heat make it ever so attractive, is dangerous in the extreme. In addition to t his, if, doing no. thing,' ennui overcomes them, they get aispi rite& moody, and, as a natural consequence, more predisposed to catch disease than men who have no time to think about it, and brood over it. What is a much more serious consideration than all this, however, is that, with the best intentions in the world, cleanliness is impossible, and health cones quently in great danger, in any place in whisk a body of men have been encamped for more than three or four days. In spite of orders, ordinances, and pre caution, in hot weather, a camp is the most disgust ing locality in the world. For variety of abomina tions I can compare the English and French camps before Sebastopol at this moment to nothing bat a Turkish town, the French being far the worse of the two. Oar "lively neighbours" have long enjoyed the reputation of being the dirtiest civilised people in the world, a cir cumstance which by no means detracts from their numerous good qualities, and certainly their soldiers maintain their reputation on this point, as well as their martial glory. Notwithstanding their much vaunted military organisation their camp is a vast altar to Cloacina—the men apparently delighting in choosing for their acts of worship the first spot that presents itself, instead of being obliged,as the English soldiers are, to confine their devotions to the loon sacra. Add to this a sprinkling of dead horses and bullocks, and cause a Crimean sun to rage on it for twelve mortal hours a day, and the result will be an odour of which you can only form an idea by a short visit to some respectable knacker's yard. From these remarks upon the French you mast not suppose that the atmosphere breathed by the English is by any means savoury. By them, too, dead horses and bullocks are allowed to lie about in the sun, and their cloaca do also emit a wide-spread odour; but the nuisance is by no mans so great, and greater attention is devoted to abate it. But no efforts can prevent the whole camp becoming a hot bed of pestilence during the summer months. No man can breathe the exhalations of a cesspool week after week with impunity, and in addition to this the deed, both men and horses, but especially the latter, have been but lightly covered, and still contribute their quota to the contamination of the atmosphere. I would advise every one, however, who wants to form an idea of the various ways in which dirt an be accumulated, preserved, and made to give out the greatest variety of stinks (there is nothing sometimes like plain Saxon), to pay a visit to the English head quarters. I rode in there to post a letter the day after Lord Raglan's death, and I know not what it may be for those who were accustomed to It ; but coming, as I did, from the fresh pure air of Balder, I was obliged to compress my smelling organ while riding round the house to avoid the per fume—first, of innumerable heaps of nondescript nastiness, such as old bones, old clothes, kitchen re fuse ; secondly, of numerous sheepskins, which lay in small piles and fermented in the sun ; thirdly, of large quantities of offal, mainly the entrails of slaughtered animals; fourthly, of a dead bullock; and lastly, of stable manure and of nn merous small establishments described generally in the army under the name of the rear. The touts mumble was abominable, and considering the small ness of the area in which all the above horrors were collected, close around the house, I mast say that not only need poor Lord Raglan's death excite no surprise, but the wonder is that one of his staff has survived to accompany his remains to England. Use, of course, reconciles one to anything; persons I have mentioned this to tell me, "Oh, you should have seen it in winter!" but it would be well for o•eny vuo )...• to .2u...b0a 4,1141, cutup which Wt.,- ter frosts and winds made to pass harmless, summer heats turn into deadly poison. The Turks, I need hardly say, are no better as re• garde cleanliness,—in fact, not so good as their neigh bours. There is, and, in my opinion, always will be, enough fatalism in the Oriental character to prima the adoption of sanitary precautions of any kind among the followers of the Prophet. As a general rule, also, every Turk has been born in au atmosphere more or less fetid. In the homes and above all in the harems of the rich, flowers and perfumes of course abound, but amongst the middle and lower classes, I should say, the vast majority of infants smell carrion with the first breath they draw. By commencing thus early, one would, of course, get accustomed to anything, even to being drawn and quartered ; and for most Turks the vicinity of a maim of putridity is a matter not worthy of a moment's consideration. Add to this, general carelessness and indolence, and you may easily imagine that the Turkish camp is at no time very cleanly, and becomes perfectly intolerable when it has been long In one spot. The latrines are too close to the tents, and as every man is allowed to exercise his discretion u to using them or not, the whole neighbourhood becomes for a European all but unapproachable. Then, again, a Turk when he has not water in abundance is dirty in his person, and is the thirstiest seal in existence; when he cannot drink clean water he drinks foul.

Turkish Camp, near Kenai, July 7.—We owls back here yesterday, to the top of the old hill, andare being well baked. Everything is quiet, and everybody, except those who are knocked over in the trenches, is laughing at the whole affair. Cholera still asks progress amongst the Turks, but it is difficult to amer. tain the number of cues or deaths. I sin not sum whether any one knows, or if he does know, Turk. like, he won't tell it, especially to a European. REFUSAL OF AN AMERICAN CAPIALN TO PAY THE STADE DUES. (711011 OUR OWN HAMBURG, JULY N. We have just had an instance of the great vigour and consistency which the Americans display when they have once taken a " notion " into their heads. In the same manner they look upon the payment of the Sound dues as to be resisted because not levied in virtue of any just and legally established righta so they refuse now to acknowledge the claim el Hanover to levy the Stade dues, and insist ups passing up the Elbe to Hamburg without delivering up the ship's papers to the Hanoverian authorities at Brunshausen umpired, and complied with by every other mercantile flag. The example was set a.few days ago by Catania Merryman, of the American barque Undine, who flatly refused to: give up his !papers on pining the Hanoverian guard-ship off Stade, and though he risked being fired on, succeeded in bringing his null up to Hamburg, and discharging his varied and valuable cargo without the payment of the ominous Stade dues. Your commercial readers will be enabled to amireciato the ad.:mores« of this exemption, by glance at the following contents of the cargo, takes from our official import list:— No. 2,384. Undine, American bark, 898 tons, Captain & ' Merryman, from New York ; July 11, 657 bales of cuss, 360 bags of cocoa, 35 chests et ready made clothes, 1,901 pieces of logsrood, 17 bales of fare, 10 bales of hemp, ON casks of ream, 38 bales of ham 81 packages Inercluadiss, 851 bags of saltpetre, 49 packages tobacco, 200 barrels et turpentine, 178 packages of clocks, 541 bales of whslsbo eti 90 chests of leatker woods, 9 packages of indlarabba, 3300 barrels of potash, and 90.000 nails. Though it is much to be regretted, for the boner of the flag, that it was not a British ship that was the first to resist the payment of these odious Stade does, which the Hanoverian government admit to be unjust and illegal, and are continually shifting their position—at one moment claiming it as a river toll, and when attacked on that pretending to call its sea duty—yet it is to be hoped that British captain will not be slow to follow the example set by their American colleague for the benefit of commerce is general. Within the last few months the vessels arriving from New York now regularly bring us a new article of commerce, which formerly formed rather an U. portant part of the exports from Hamburg. This article is the so-oalled wooden clocks of the Black Forest, the manufacture of which has been trans ferred by degrees from the mountains of Wurtem berg to the plains of America by the numerous emi grants annually leaving Germany; and it must be confessed, from the specimens I have seen, that they make them now in America—probably from the greater facilities afforded them in the choice of the wood and other materials—in a much more creditable and workmanlike manner than they ever did in their native country. We used, in former years, to send a large quantity of these wooden clocks to England, for exportation to the British colonies; but now the Germans is America are able not only to beat us out of that field, but to compete successfully with their on German countrymen in the home market of their fatherland. The large and rapidly increasing mans facture of this article in America is evident, from the following authentic statistics of the trade :—ln Cos necticut there are 7 manufactories, employing 1,300 persons, and producing annually 800,000 wooden clocks ; in Bristol, 14 manufactories, with 400 pet sons, making 200,000 clocks; Plymouth has 3 maw factories, with 176 workmen, turning out 75,000 clocks; at Ansonia are 2 manufactories, with 140 persons employed, who make annually 102,000 clocks; at Wiastrad, 1 manufactory, with 40 person, 30,000 clocks; at Southampton are 2 manufactories, with 46 workmen, producing 40,000 clocks; and lastly, at New Havre, there are 3 manufactories, em ploying 400 persons, and making 370,000 c l o ck& So that in the seven above mentioned places there are 32 manufactories, employing 2,600 workmen, and producing annually 1,617,000 wooden clocks. The consequence of everything I have now stated is that diarrhea is all but universal in all the armies, and cholera will, I fear, be much more so during this month and that of August, the two hottest and most dangerous of the year. It is always unpleasant to lay oneself open to the imputation of b e i ng a meeker, but it is impartible not to entertain appre hensions in the face of all this filth, and in the pre sence of the fact that one can already hardly point to a single man who has not got dia rr hc e s. Dyspeptic people are looked upon in England as remarkable for moroseness and ill-humour; out here it is quite the reverse ; confinement of the bowels makes happy, melees, merry dogs, whom everybody admires and envies, who drink their beer and devour their tough beef with impunity, whilst their neighbours are looking melancholy over various compounds of rice, we sloppy mixtures supposed easy of digention. I was in the camp of the 10th Human the other day when a man whom the prevalence of cholera had " demo ralised" sent in a fright for the doctor, because for two days he had been the victim of dyspepsia. When the story was related to a group of oMoers, "Oh that I could my the same!" was the universal cry. To quit a subject which may seem disagreeable and even disgusting to you, bat which pommies fearful moment for men who have a summer before them here, and who are hourly made to feel that in the midst of life they are ia death, the great subject of conversation in the Turkish earn p for the last few days has been the probability of the return of the army to the Danube. According to the last aceounts, large bodice of troops are being concentrated in Bes sarabia. Austria seems disposed to abandon Moldavia to the Russians, while she forms an entrenched camp at Campine for her own army. Ismail Paeha, it is said, at the mune time has collected 26,000 men at Matchio for the purpose of attacking Ismail. All this, if it be tree, would seem to betoken another campaign on the Danube. Omer Pasha would I am persuaded be delighted to return, and so would every oae in his army, or managed with it. He has reaped no glory In the Crimea as yet, and as matter, stand, the harvest of that tempting but unsubstantial crop does not seem likely to be very abundant for any one. The soldiers are also naturally discontente d at this forced inaction. In Bulgaria there was always movement, there were always events great or mall, and, more important still, there was plenty and there was health. Many a man who never 'mew an hoar of ailing there, has never had an hoar of health here. And there was more sociability, ism distrust and sus picioa than prevails hen between every body of every nation. "lii," said one of my old fellow-campaigner s on the Danube, to me the Ohm. day, as he lay in bed, mining a bad diarrhea, "West la Wake et la heje Id, c'eccit rabondanes Pamitik.'
