Every cavalry seep has an adjutant and a riding-muter, men who, in most oases, have rises *out the ranks. Are not these two officers enough to help the colonel to look after the regiment! Of mane they are. What need therefor* of captains and nbalterns—who have paid large sums for their --..—werrying themselvesabout dissiplise or drill f Should the eommanding officer not give too much trouble, nottmrs go on pleasantly enough. The adjutant looks after the field-days and the eon deot of the men, the riding-coaster after his own department, the veterinary surgeon takes ears of the health et the hones,the doctor of that el the men. The captains and subalterns hunt, drew, shoot, go as leave, and from first to last deity is made as may as posdble to all parties. Bat should the mimosa be such a misguided individual as to upset all the Astro under him to know their work, and require them to perform the same, matters swans a very different *peat. The regi ment gets a bad name in the military market; 0011113a43110 don't sell so high as they do in more favoured corps ; *Beers exchange and sell out con tinually, giving money to get into pleasanter regi men* and other gentlemen: are brought in, only again to axehange or retire from the service. Let no see how this ;system works in the army— lot on tent the moults of having our cavalry for forty years* the hand, of exclusively rich and aristocratic Akers. Against the personal bravery of no portion of the Saglieh army can a word be said. But is seeress the only requisite le asoldierf Certainly not—least of all in a cavalry officer. It is said that two years' training are requisite to make a perfect dragoon of a private recruit ; how much more must the careful study of his profession be requisite to qualify properly him who has to lead the troop or erodes° I' The oars of horses, and how to look after them in the field; the weight the dragoons ride, and the best way of taking off part of that weight ; the, feeding, growing, and shoeing of horses, under all{ peatlW iimpubse. I the most effectual manner eC peteetbithes irises the weather when deprived dasher—all these are bet a few items of what mkt to foes the study of young men for hint a an* of years before they enter the Nevin es 'aviary officers. Add to the foregoing ds knetrisige required by every dragoon officer I ebbs ewe mounted and before the enemy—the how mad the when to attack, the best manner of forming re wing or supporting lines, the most effectual way of - - up a retreating enemy, or withdrawing without loos from one too strong to be attacked with any beim of success--and some slight idea may be belted by civilians that many qualifies- Insalleyeill mess animal courage are required by more else asylee to be good cavalry officers. Let any impartial men read over the evidence given by Lord Luau, the other day, before Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee, and then say whether thelset forty years of our cavalry training hie produced what the public had every right to expect. It is all very well to blame the Commissariat officers, and we would be the last to cast a veil over their gross mismanage ment in so many oases during the present wart but it would be in every way unjust to attribute solely to Mr. PILGER and his subordinates the state in which Lord Lucen describes our cavalry to have been when he left the Crimea. If Lord Itotonn was competent to command an army going on service, he must have known that when hones have been accustomed to stables for many years, they would require in the field some covering warmer than the hair furnished by nature. The brigades of cavalry should never have been allowed to leave England without a proper supply of horse-clothing, nose-bags, pegs, ropes, and other requisites. Had the commandin g and other officers of cavalry been aware of the duties they would be called upon to perform in the East—had they been pos sessed of any practical know ledge of their pretension— representations respecting the want of these articles would have been sent to the prep.r authorities, and would, no doubt, have met with every attention. Bat both Lord RAGLAN and the leaders of the cavalry division, brigades sad regiments, seem to have proceeded to the Crimea trusting a great deal to chance, and the rest to Pro- vidence. The horses of both the Russians and French dragoons—we don't include the Arab horns of the Charmers d'Afrique, which were no doubt more sneer tamed to roughing it—seem to have bees is very meek better condition then those of the Me.* cavalry, simply because they were better bebid after, sad• were under the eyes of officers who Men what they were about. At the present day, the Yeah dragoons in the Crimea take the whole duty patrolling for the allied army, and their harms are, comparatively speaking, in excellent condition.

Bat a reprieve isnot a pardon, and the Raman had better make the most of their recovered position while they hold it. General On robert will not allow them to hold it long. The Grenadier Guards have within the last few days come down from the Sebastopol front and omi tm theme hes prepared for them near Balaklava. Coldstrea and Fusilier Guards are expected to move in a day be two. The presence of the Guards at Balakiava shows where Lord Raglan outsiders the point of danger to be. In a sanitary point of view, the establishment of this fine corps close to the un healthy exhalations of Balsklava town and harbour isa matter of sincere regret. The 32-pound battery near Kadloi is now almost completed. The railway is rapidly progressing, and by some means unknown to military men, two heavy locomo tive engines have actually been transported on the r ap of the hill to the left of Kadikoi. The rails, too, ,are laid down to the foot of that bill. By the 16th Mar* it is expected that the first commissariat de pot en be established on the heights behind the lianas' battery, and the stores forwarded to that point railway. This is an enormous advantage, for it dess away with the slow and difficult transport from Balaklava to the first range of hills, and one third of the road, and the worst part too, is saved to the bag - The weather is still odd, but seasonable. Strong gales of wind; and little rain and snow. The roads are improving and there is a general impression that before long, matters will get into the right trim. There is even hope for the Poet-oars. Mr. Smith, the postmaster to the forces, whose declining health compelled him to go down to Pera at the beginning of the year, has come up again to resume his duties. I understand he is accompanied by a posse of sorters, whose services it is to be hoped will also be extended to the newspaper department. The army—men and officers—are in better health and spirits than they have been for months past. Every one is looking forward to active operations of some sort. The natives do, indeed, tell us that the winter is not over yet, and that March will bring its 'now storms and gales of wind, but, in spite of the motives, the prevailing opinion is that we are near the tsp of the hill, and that, as far as the season is con strued, we shall have comparatively smooth work. And certainly whatever rigours of the Crimean March are in store for us, warmly clad, well fed, and partly hoised as our troop" are, they will now be able to go with eau through what is yet to be gone through. .4 4a: la. @ogling ladders :tsflya Rod* is the i lle abaodausd.

Of the enemy, nothing has been seen for some days beyond a few columns, moving off in the direction of a neighbouring village, observed by Colonel Sim mons, on Wednesday afternoon, in a reconnaissance he made on board the Curlew, which ran about fifteen miles down the coast towards Sebastopol. The enemy was, however, in no great force, and was either going to take up cantonments in the villages, or was marching off simply for the purpose of being seen, and with the intention of coming back in the night. The latter is by no means an improbable sa positios. I can hardly persuade myself that they will not attack again, but this time they will meet with a reception vastly warmer than the last. The wind having shifted to the northward for several days peek the cold has been intense, the frost very hard, and the sea calm as a lake. The result has been the rapid disembarkation of great masses of materiel, provi sifts, dto. The heavy artillery has been got ashore, and put in position, the entrenchments already can mewed completed and strengthened, all the batteries plentifully supplied with ammunition, and, in short, everything done which numbers and skill can accom plish, to render the failure of any future assault on the part of the enemy all but certain. 23.—T0-day the:temperature is much milder, and, in fact, a slow thaw is going on, which has greatly increased the physical comfort of everybody. The cold here is of an intensity of which it is difficult to give an idea to any one who has not experienced it, and, it is, in appearance, at least, aggravated b the fact that the scarcest commodity is fael, which cannot be had for money, certainly not for love, and • rarely by any other means than the poseemion of a good hatchet, the gift of great unscrupuloasness, and a wild love of destruction. When the winter set in, a vast number of the houses were wrecked by the Tartars for the purpose of providing themselves with fires ; and this sort of work, once begun, everyone else hastened to follow their example. Doors, ve randahs, platforms , treat, bushes, railings, mangers, have all disappeared with a rapidity little short of marvellous. Now there is little left to fall back upon except the wrecks, which have been so effectually dismantled, that of those close to the town little remains except rows of huge ribs, rising from the water like the fossil remains of some antediluvian monster. Charcoal is to be had in the bazaar at a price certainly sufficient to pay for its manufacture from trunks of mahogany and rosewood, and many are thus enabled to luxuriate over fires. Large supplies of wood are now arriving, however, from Varna and Baltchik, but at the same time the cold weather seems u if it were about to take its depar ture, and deprive fires of half their charm. The work of disembarkationstil goes on more or len rapidly. The Turks, however, are not made for this sort of thing, and perform their tasks, apparently, with anything but goodwilL The quay, instead of being the scene of busy activity, stimulated by the love or the habit of work, is covered with about two thousand great louts, who trudge about, as their officers push them, and shoulder their burdens with a dogged air, as if they were going to the scaffold. If they are left unwatched for two minutes, they sneak off, or sit down and groan, or smoke on the lee side of a wall, till their gusbiushi, or bimbashi, as the ease may be, ferrets them oat, and pokes them up once more into action by a succession of vigorous thrusts, or still more vigorous assertions, to the effect that at some period, not precisely defined, the officer had made his way into the soldier's family, and there, having won the aflections'of his mother and sisters, had de spoiled them of their honour and left them there. The profound calm with which the unhappy indivi duals listen to these astounding revelations of the misfortunes of their kindred would be something ad mirable, if it did not flow from disbelief, and from the concentration of all the faculties into intense loathing of the hard labour, the precipice towards which their persecutors are forcing them. The fact is that a Turk does anything sooner than work. On a pinch he will ride, he will fight, he will even dig trenches, sooner than disembark baggage; at least, so it seems to me, after a week's observation of his doings here. The general impression, however, made upon the English and French naval men and the people of the transports, who have seen no better specimens of the Turkish soldiers than the un fortunate wretches at Balsklays, who are expiating the certainly excusable panic of an hour by months of the vilest ill-usage, and who are falling one by one into a dog's grave, is. on the whole, very favourable. And yet they are the same men; the difference lying altogether in the presence of one master mind, who has created a prestige for his troops, keeps them to gether, and makes them fight, and fight well, in the face of difficulties, sash u no man in the English army, believe me, could encounter for two weeks. Yon, with your unlimited credits, your commissariat, your staff, your transports, your education, your Miele rifles, and your Lancaster guns, are plunged in all but despair, have lost a fine army in less than six months, and have achieved little solid success. Omer Pacha, without money, without commissariat, without flat major, and with flint locks, has conducted one campaign with success often brilliant, and has opened another by the repulse of a superior force, attacking under the most favourable auspices, and fighting oo its own soil. Verily, public opinion ought to be a little more lenient towards the Turks. As to the future, no one here knows anything; and so much the better. Omer Pacha keeps his intentions very closely to himself; and so much the better. Regarding the movements of the Russians I can give you little information, except rumours, none of which deserve much attention. Yesterday it was positively stated by the French here that the main body were entrenching themselves some miles inland, and that their train of waggons had been seat on to Sebastopol to bring down heavy mortars, on the arrival of which they will proceed immediately to shell the place. There is no doubt vast numbers of waggons have been seen moving off in that direction; and, if this story be true, Sartori* will be rather uncomfortable for any one dolmas of mental repose, but, in a military point of view, the shilling would not have the slightest effect; beyond killing a few men every day. Now orrrotes. Nothing better is desired by everybody at present than that they should attack in any force they can: muster, as everything is in a state of complete prepa ration to give them a thorough thumbing. From the mounds outside the town, on which tier videttes are placed, we see their main guard, numbering about two hundred mu, at about a thou sandi yards distant on the plain below, and bodies of cavalry are descried frequently moving about is different directions. Two, nights ago, jut as we were finishing dinner, we were roused up by the reception of a note by Col. Simmons, from Captain Hastings, of the Caracas, informing him that large bodies of infantry were seen from the masthead advancing towards the town on the right and left. The troops were instantly turned out, and every one hurried off to the trenches, the thermo meter at about 10 degrees below freezing . point, and staid there, shivering` and inveighing against the Russians for two hours, at the end of which, nobody appeariag, all went to bed except a few superior odium The English *Seers hue, seat out by the Duke otNewesetle, and attached to, the Astro( Saturn Pasha, three in number, are now under the command ot Colonel Balfour OglevY.

The primmen taken eftsr the action have been examined separately, and their testimony agrees as to the fact that Liprandi's division left Sebastopol on the 12th, marched by way of Baktchi-Seri, and arrived within three hours of Eupatoria on the night of Friday, the 18th, where they were joined by another division from Perekop, and bivouacked on the plain, concealed by one of its many undula tions from the view of the Turks. Daring the night parties were busily employed in digging holes at a distance of about 600 yards all round the fortifica tions for the chsesenrs to ensconce themselves within shot of the artillerymen, which preliminaries the Turks, owing to their want of cavalry at that time, an well as to the darkness of the night, were unable to prevent. Before going to_sleop, each man bad a pound of meet served out to him and a small faggot of dry sticks, which he was ordered to fix on his bayonet, for the purpose of filling up the ditch, and then burning the town.

The manufactory of the Armenia banker Djesairll was completely destroyed, as walla i a school, containing 150 children, who were, it Is understood, all buried under its ruins. The greater , part at the minarets toppled, and the mosques and I I stone buildings in general were much damaged. The total loss of life is calculated to amount to about 400 persons, besides others severely injured. The sum . details are not as yet fully . known, and it is still , hoped that the account in circulation may be found he exaggerated.

A letter from Frankfort, of the 14th, in the Moniker, says :—" At one of the last sittings of the Diet, M. de Bismark, replying to the communicatioas of the Austrian plenipotentiary relative to the effeo• tive military strength of that power, made use of remarks which did not evince a very favourable dis position towards the policy of the allied powers. M. de Biamark has since been disavowed, and blamed by his government. Prussia, moreover, declares that she does not demand that the Austrian entitled shall remain on the federal territory, and that she does not think of having the fortresses of Luxem bourg and Mentz armed." Captain Merle, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, and prefect of the palace, has arrived in Paris from the Crimes. --- Marshal Paraguay d'Hilliers and General Gras Willer, appointed to the command of the let and 2nd corps of the army of the Nortb, will establish their headquarters, the former at Boulogne, and the latter at St. Omer. They leave Paris to-day. The minister of war is largely buying cavalry horses. All cavalry officers going out to Algiers are ordered to leave their horses behind them for the ge neral service, and to provide themselves with others in Algeria. The Cent Gerdes have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march ; the Bmpe• roc's private saddle horses have already left Parls,and 'outline' preparation of all kinds seems to show that his Majesty's departure is at hand. A detachment or the Imperial Guard left Paris yesterday. One reason why a very large proportion of the Guards will be sent out is, that, to the disap. pointmeet-ef the government, -the 4respe of the line in the Crimea show very. little disposition to volunteer into the househoull troops. When the Guards shall have achieved some feat of arms for themselves, as they assuredly will when the opportunity offers, it will doubtless be esteemed an honour to belong to them. But at present, the soldiers who have fought a hard winter campaign in the Crimea feel too proud of their own regiments to accept as a reward a trans far to others, whose precedence is merely conven tionaL The Emperor yesterday witnessed the operation of establishing a camp in the Champ de Mars, by some squadron of the Chides of the Imperial Guard. lb. tenet *ere first put up aniV then taken down with great rapidity, the object being ap pare ntly to me in what don the epwation could be e ffect ed.
