Be stated that he held that positim on the breaking oat of the war, and described the relations that subsisted between biosself,as First Logd,aed the Misuser for War. All the details of the saga enviee wen transacted by the Board of Admiralty, without refereace to any other deportment ; bat when it was the Qatava'a pleasure that any particular nittaelneat of the diet should be made, it was communicated to the board - - colielidly by the Secretary of State. The First Lord sate at the baud is • se-ordinate 'member, and as an integral part of it, and had no power anon from the board itself . . Prac tically, he toned that there was no division of opinion at the hard, but that the members ezercised towards one another the greatest firmness and forboarattee. Whea the war broke out reqni.itions tame is to the Admiralty from seven different quarters for ammenition and stem, without any previoas notice, and Sadist( that great ilassoavraiscee accrued from this, be rec. amended teat it would be better it these varioas requisitions were referred is one common centre, and he suggested to the Secretary at War that day by day they should he fisted and approved by him, and gives to the heinous of the Transport Board, and that be should give his opinions)* them and curry them tato offset. tie (Sir J. Ora am) was of opinion tbet the istroduction and adoption of such a system would be pro ductive of promptitude and order. The drat approach towards this system of aasowatvauon wee the placing of the eammtimariat ands? the Secretary it War in N svember, end Morriss the requisitiaas of the medical board to the same department. its held the Fist Lord of the Admiralty to be reepsaOhle for everything in his department. When the espeditioe first started the kimirsity had three ' iron steam ships. capable of tarrying 2,000 men, available ter the isouveyaaos of troops, sad when the treasport re quirements iocreased, edvertianarsts were lamed for public readers far transports, and it was determused to use mem rionveyanca as largely as possible, though it was:tenni then the supply of steam was limited, anti that sailing me& inlaid have to be used, and it was resolved to have s Mae tinsel flow of both Mans and Wittig tratiaport+ from Mr country to the seat of war.

Admiral B tier Vie specially comsalealosed by the Admiralty is low intend the traasport weeks' within the Dees sad the &aphorise. He (Sir J. Getarehe) Admiral Bolter on the reeesameadaties he boil ama trr 'sive& Tres Sir Thomas Hardy, who elfalleiltSei his as eae of the best somen who bad steed wader fire at Sas maws, sad who, having steed as harbearioaster at Clashes, 7=r i s i l a l i arted with the recesses of usbatkatioa sad eltfoop madam ilizisme Graben an Ztt 4fint%. pronteded to read extracts (tom documents (which the right his. geatleman said he bad eerm mos of Lord Palmerston to de), describing the formal official appointment of Admiral Bearer, end the instructioes he posited whoa he west out Must under Admiral Dundee. The responsibility of affairs kabob harbour at Balaklava was entirely loader Admiral lien as, as well as evarytniopt relating to the transport on Ile Black Sea, entirely under his control. Be (Sir J. graham) appointed Captain Christie on Captain Milers' recomm- edition, as an officer of great sod, ability, and experience', and fr , m his naval reputation when with Sit G. Collier on the coast of Attics ; but Captaia Christie bad no power wit in the harbour of Balaklava at all, as there was always a naval hubour-master there, and Captain Cbrioxie was in no respect is the slightest degree responsible for the state of the harbour, which he (Sir J. Graham) a' mated was in a state of grust disorder and DUD. futon. Captain Christie, he regretted to say, made two seistakes—one in allowing the Prince to remain outside the harbour, and another in ordering a transport with Turkish troops to come to Balaklava Matted of Eapatoria, and for this the Admiralty had ordered him to be tried by a court martial, and Ise believed that Captain Christie, in conse quence, was almost a broken-hearted man. The committee had been told, end told truly, that Balaklava harbour was more f • often time • harbour, and it was quite incapable of containing the immense num her of ships that wanted to discharge their asrgoes there. The admission, or refusal of admission of the Prince into the harbour, rested entirely with the officer in consalano of the harbour, and not with Captain Christie, who was in no respect uspoosiblie for her lose, and if the naval officer in command would not allow the Prince to go in, Captain Christie was not responsible for the coo eequencee, the naval officer being supreme in the harbour. The gale before the catastrophe was tremendously strong, and such was the swell that it was difficult fur a long ship like the Prince to set either in or out. although it waa raid that the Agamemnon got out the night before. Doubtless it was an indiperstion to allow a vessel to remain at anchor on a lee shore, hut there were many other vessels in the same situation, though it was undue:mil there should be no genet.' movement of the transports without the con currants of Lord Raglan ; and:the naval officer commanding the transports at Balekleva exercised supreme responsibility without reference to tee Admiralty. Ile did not know that Admiral Dudes was ever in Balaklava harbour. The Ad miralty had not nutted any official complaints of Admiral Boxer before his removal from the Boophorns to Balaklava, when operations on the landiog of the troops in the Crimea were, it you'd be remembered, swollen to very great mag nitude. In justice to Admiral Boxer, he might mention. that on one occasion be represented to the Admiralty the ne cessity for having a receiving ship at Constantinople, and the unmet at first sent out vets that it was not thought neces sary, though he (Sir James Graham) reconsidered the question; ad, finding the emergency of the service ia greasing, he ordered a depot ship to be seat is oe:ober. Sir James Otabant, having received the official correspondence On Ito subject, proceeded to say that le bad ant been officially notified to the Admiralty that then war any defect in the transport service in the Blank Sea, axe was he (Sir Jams') aware of it. lie was strongly ni opiates that it would have been impossible for the transports W have beea kept oonttnuall mediating between Bsisklave and stations in the Black Sea, bath on military and naval grounds, and is a care where the army was is constant motion. It was a oifferent thing with the Duke of Wel lington at Torres Vodras, where he had the Tagus for transport and the c ty of Litton for • vote:house ; but in the Crimea, Lord Raglan, instead of the Togas, bad only a ereek, and Batakleve ins aid of Lisbon for a store-house, and • naked shore, without buildings or stores; a greater pert of the transports themselves being used for that purpose. Tin Chairman—But then Wellington was Bethel head elf a retreating instead of an advancing army. laugh.) Sir J Graham—The amount of naval transport wen limited at first, it listing a. ant bee. cosvituted with a view only to operations in 13alearis and Lithuank• The supply was limited out then"; but if he were asked es to its supply "here.' he would 64y that you might get it as you would a cab off the stand. (A laugh.) As regarded the statement that el. the transports sere taken by the troops that were intended for the sick and wounded, he would state that there were difficulties connected with this matter the committee could blindly conceive, when they considered that in the coarse of the year the transport service moved over a range of 3,000 miles of ciente, 60,000 British moos, 6.000 horses, from 26.000 to 30.000 men from Marseilles to the CrMea, sod 12.000 men to the Baltic. end 45,000 Turk% so that in the common( tie year 'bey moved an esoregete et ...in,. 150,000 men, and were sending oat week by week 1,250.0001b5. of biscuit, 50,000 gallons of rem, 2.500 tons of salt meat and sugar, and a perprually B.wieg quantity of 10,000 tons of coals. The Chairman—Acknowledging that your operations Mereemnpendons, could not a suffixiency of transport be Mad ? Sir J. Graham—We 'zoned nunelvos to the utmost, sad 'shouted every means available for tho purpose. No re qpidel'ions were made to the Admiralty when the army first lewd as fir land transports. The government knew the =tithe army to be sent out, and were guided is its MI reference to the means a: its disposal on send 71si illenemy almirman—Leaving the lend transport behind ? Sir J. Graham was mit aware that they did this—not the whole of it. They took out what was sufficient. Instead of floating hospital., he (Sir J. Grab to) wished to have flied ones, and generally De gave his advice against fl luting hospitals. They had two line of battle ships for fleeting hospitals, though experience went to show that fixed hospi tals were far better than II oiling ones. Represen•stiens being made by Admiral liaise that considerable esti faring erne' fr dit the want of them, two ships were appropriated for the sick arid wounded, with hammocks and blankets. Upon this matter he (Sir James Graham) addressed a private letter to Admiral Dundee, but he bad since made the letter a public one, and read it. It set forth that he had received arressing seviants as to the state Of the sick and wounded after the battle of Balaklave, sad I that they had to he einharked tiros the beach, and that they had been put in ships imperfectly prepared end badly ventilated. The wore hospital on shore was preferable to I the beet ship all iat. If Sebastopol fell into the hands of the Allies b .tab naval and military heepitals would have to be estabti bed for the sick and wounded, and be (Sir James Graham) differed that two or three large steam transports should be filed up as hospitals without delay. He (Sir James Graham), however, ex7ressed a hope to the admiral that tne fall of Selo istopol, and the kali of the Allies on the southern part of ibe Wm*, would supersede the necessity for this, but in OM of inexpeete f • cogency this provision had better be Made. This letter to &mint Ducidas was a private letter, in cone :too with tne public service; and if this principle were not permi•ted in public depertments, he was depiaies that it would d struy ill freedom of COMICIUDICS dna Admits! Dundee might shield loused under cover of enffilligangennieetien bring private, but he (S.r J. Ura• We) thought that a man of hie honourable character im uld out, He, as First Lord of the Admiralty, had the power of dastverting a private into a public communication, and *MINA long been the practice of the Admiralty. He seek' make Admiral Du , dais responsible for non-obeyanee l of these inetructione, though communicated in • private letter, though be (Sir J.Grahane), as First Lord,wu mainly resposaible in the wetter. Mr. Layerd—ire these private latten copied and Teem Mad at the Admiralty? Sir J. Graham—No; they regatta the private property of , 1 the person wile writes them. Mr. Layersi—loppeee the letter was burnt, mislaid, or ; NM, who would be responsible if the orders were' myriad eat t Sir J. Graham—l should be ; the responsibility soeld fell es ; sad if the orders were not carried oat, I should die• miss the party who di.obeyed them from his office. It was • rule that the parson removing these private and conliden Mal letters eeuM mewl* them public without the sanction I Beebe writer. Te General Peel—Lord Raglan had the supreme power ewer the isevessects of the transports, and had • veto over the dimities. et Admiral Dundee To Lord Seymour—The officer commanding in the Bin phorue would be answerable, if there bad been a short sup ply of heat there for the landing of the sick and wounded, but subject always to the instructions of the admiral cam • mending in chief. Witness then, at his own retreat, r e ad an d p u t i n two eghial despatches, written by him 'rem the Admiralty, on ins Wh November and the 18th of December, urging on Admiral Dundee and Sir E Lyons the necessity of their using the utmost exertions to improve the state of the I harbour at Balaklave. and to Make proeer arrangemeate for facilitstieg the landing end homing the army stores there. By Mr. Reebnek—He had reeeived no official complaint whatever of the oondret of Admiral Boxer; and thinking bah • gm equal to cope eueceastwly with the difficulties emmedgfeell with the harbour of Balaktava, he (witness) MOM him up there. whim at this point ezorissed a wish teresd en extract kegs what he called a secret and e letter which be wow. to Sir Edmund Lyons oa the 4th of Jrnuary last, stating, at the same time, hat the remainder of the letter he was net at liberty to read. He added that he bad Lord Palnessuma's permission to read the 'street in question.

To avoid that, and at the same time to secure the services of Captain Miioe, both in tbe general businue ot the Admiralty and in reference to transports, he established the its/import board. lie thought the es hi gestion of the Duke of Newcastle before the committee, that the Memnon service should he placed under the direction of the Minister for War, would have led to great confusion, iiimothcb as - that was a service essentially naval, and which it required naval men to manage. Befog asked a question as to the blockade estab:ished is 11 the Black Sao, Syr James proceeded to read several official 11 despatches written by him to Admiral Duoiee, ranging ri; over a period *vending from the s th April, 1851, till the n. end of the year, complaining th at the blocked • had not been Z carried on in a satisfactory or effective manner, urging the so admiral to c.didact it in the strictest sad most vigorous way, 20 and for that purpose investing him with the largest dims- Se tie's. He remerkeu, whilst reading these &spuds's, that U it was contemplated at one time by Admiral Dundee and le Admiral Hamelin to stop the oakum or trading 'auk into s o the Stalk Sea at the mouth of the Bosphorus; bat that pro- et, noeition was considered inconsistent with the law of nations, SS and was therefore not carried into effect. at. To Mr Layard—The blockade was not carried on to the 11 ,- oatisfutiou ot the Admiralty ; but Admiral Donde, 'russet ly wholly to blame, tor it was considered as a joint operation. a , Mr. Layar d —With regard to the Greek merchants, did It. not the IS h merchants make • representation that, in con- as. sequence of the want of a blockade, their trade was ruined there ? a. Sir .1. Graham—No doubt the delay in the blockade was attended with great inconvenience to the mitreantile into. e t . rests and with great evils to the operations of the war; but So the difficulty was very great by the naval farce being occu let - pied in the movement ot troops to a large extent, the loi French bringing up reinforcements end the English moving t,4„ the Turkish army. Therefore the Balls upon the naval ? service were vary great. Wnether there were meths of iii carrying throe orders into es•eution is doubtful ; and etc. , at. 'Maly lam not prepared to "lame Admiral Dundaa, though et I much regret that, the means should have been waning, sy and that the urgencies of the occasion ebsuld have preventea an efficient blockade. Mr. Layard—l mintiest the Greek merchants bad some ' al. mesas of knowing the blockade could not be carried out, as Se they did not suspend their trade also I ss Sir J. Graham (significantly)—ls that a question ? Mr. Lavern—Yee. Sir J Graham—The member is probably better in- .22 e t , formed on that point than I am. To another question from Mr. Layard, Sir James stated 59 ., that the mouths of the Danube were blockaded at one time, " but the blockade had been raised. tan In reply tit an interrogatory from Lord Seymour, as to st what his opinion was of the force in the Crimea when the to expeditioa went out, Sir James Graham said—lnstead of an opinion I will give 1 ,, you • fact. In the last week of July I saw a Crimean en- z thority, who of course must be nameless, woo hid left the a Crimea in the month of June. I saw him at the Admiralty s and I examined him myself. Au officer of the Admiralty wee in attend .no. on me, and took down his statement in et. I writing. That statement was circumstantial and full, and gave a complete account of the Crimea. Toe Russian force 4 in the Crimea was estimated by him at 70.000-8,000 of ~, which were cavalry ; 40,000 of which corodituted the Earn- so son in Sebastopol and the remaining 30,000 were dispersed 10 throughout the Crimea. I sent that informs:Son to As. miral Dead.* on the 29th of July. and I directed him to f, ) , give a copy of it to Lord Ra.lan. It must have rat been theeivtd by Admiral Dead's before the euseditira suited from Varna. My informant was a mint intelligent at. man. I had the utmost reliance on his statement, and 10 'obsequies% events have proved that his estimate ot the force at. in the Crimea at that time was accurate, within a few thou sand men. Mort than that—that iadividual himself fol. 6 , lowed the informattha I Pent, and had personal communal math sues Lea Raieliso. a salve pe rsonal will nor ere.- rile farther on that point; but I have conferred with lel the Sur of the Admiralty who took down that statement, 26 and I am verified by hint. se To G I Peel—The difficulty was immense of obtain- ,o kg any information on the subject in the East. The whole so information 'he governmeat obtained has been here, to and all the information on which say reliance could be 10 placed has been transmitted to the seat of war. But that is sot all. Immediately on the dee station of war I sent fur an engineer who was employed in ono of the Queen's ships on the home cation, who had been engineer in a packet. boat plying between Sebastopol and smother port in the ot.l Black Sea fur four year., and who knew the harbour of Se- Vi• bastopol al well as the commander of a Hyde steam packet a n t knows Spithead. I heard his statement, a- d I also sent that to Admiral Dundu at the breaking out of the war 41 Again, in the autumn of last year, with reference to the to Danube, I tent as engineer who baboon employed by th. Russian government—an Englishman—and who hoew et every shoal, every battery, and every impediment in the. ti To ver. 10 Lord Seymour—From the Ist of January , 1853. so until I left the Admiralty in March last, I was not at me at, own reentry realistic* daring the whole of that time S Daring the legit summer I went on urgent business to Ply. Ifs mouth and Portsmouth ; and I believe I was been , "• fr ma the Admir.lty, with one exception, on the arrival of a mail from the East.

Army reform is indeed needect—so is team in every department of the state. I fear, however, that we shall not speedily obtain what is so much required, and what the people so anxiously desire. The inquiry upon which I base for some weeks been engaged has proved to me that a.I departments of the administratio• are .qually faulty, and that great courage, simdfastaess, and skid will be rtcleired to work out the changes needed. B. Revs me yours very truly, J. A. KOS- Sucx.—Mr Ald.Carr." The art of producing truffles, which has long been sought for, hut always without succem, bee, sons the Union. just been discovered.

He recently commenced his pro pegatiag truffle beumth the young oaks, and has obtained • large quantity of excellent quality. In the south of England there is a mortality among the lambs, owing to the dry and arid weather, which has rendered the food to their dame scarce.

The English stock market maintains a very firm appearance, and the tendency of prices is still upwards. After rising I percent. pricesclosed per cent. higher than on Ssturdsy. Trade showing no sign of revival, and there being an absence of enter- prise in new directions, the Ccoutnulation of mem- ployed capital is becoming more considerable, and stimulates the disposition to iarest. Daring the last two or three drys the demand for el!giblu securities in the several departments of the St„rl Exchange has been manifestly increasing. The stock market on Saturday and to-day has been chiefly held in check by the flatness of the Paris bourse. It moot bo barne in mind, however, that the Frelch money market is et present prejudiced by reports that tl.e government will be shortly compelled to come forward for a fresh loan of msgsitude, for tho more effective prosecution of the war. The accumulation of available capital in France is less considerable, and at the same time subject to a greater drain, than is the case in Eng land, and thus it can scarcely occasion surprise if these successive and rapid cdditions to the French national debt have a depressing effect on the bourse. In the Stock Exchange money is worth only 11 to 2 per cent. on government securities. The discount market is abundantly supplied, and first-class bills can be negotiated at 3 to 31 per cent. Generally there is an indisposition to take large sums of money "on call " at 3 per cent. At Paris to•day, the Three per Cent. Bente/ closed at a further trifling decline. At Vienna, the bourse is dull, and the exchauge on London has again ad vanced to 12.28. The Amsterdam market remains firm, with more inquiry for (irauadian bonds. owls opened at 88;1 to 89, for the 30th inst., advanced to 891 to 1, and closed at 89 to For money the quotation was nearly the same. The offi cial business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols for money, 89, 891 ; ditto for account, 30th May, 89, 891. Torte per Cents. Reduced, 88, 881. New Three per Cents., 881, 1, 1. Long Annuities. expiring in January, 1860, 31. Bank Stock, 209. 210. Three-and-a-Hall per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1858, 991. Exchequer Bondi rose about 1 per cont. to-day, the closing quotation being 99?, to 1. Exchequer Bills were quoted 54. to Bs. prem. Business is also recorded in the new 30 years' Annuities at 164 per 11. annuity. The omnium was firm, and closed at to Z prem. The foreign stock market was quiet, except as regards Turkish, which was in renewed demand. The corn market to-day was firmer, and some descriptions of wheat realised is. to 2s. per quarter more than on last Monday. The Storm Cloud has arrived from Melbourne. whence she sailed on the sth February, with 21,177 oz. of gold. Including the 1,300,0110 dole. brought in by the Pacific from New York, and 3,6051. in specie by the Avon from the Breads, to-day's arrivals of the precious metals are raised to about 360,0001.
