By F. B. COURTENAY, . _ And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management $ immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. let, 1858.

It has often been remarked that when any build ing or great engineering work is to be let by tender. architects and engineers seem to have no general principle to guide them, inasmuch as there is almost always a very wide difference between their esti mates. This has been especially the case with the contracts of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and it is a fact all the more extraordinary as the data upon which parties proposing to tender are, or ought to be, the same, every engineer or architect being supposed to know the current price of labour and the value of material, and to be able to take out the quantities. It will not be forgotten that after the first contract was let for the great high level north sewer a question was raised as to the accuracy of the quantities taken on behalf of the Board, and an investigation discovered that there were mistakes in favour of the contrac tor, and against the Board, of a sum equal to some £30,000. This discovery at the time created a great sensation, and imputations were freely bandied about at the Board, but still it was generally be lieved that this huge discrepancy arose either from mere negligence or from unaccountable inadver tence. The strong observations then made would, it was anticipated, have prevented a similar occur rence when the next large contract was put out to tender. This contract, however, was let last week, and from the extreme difference between the highest and lowest tender, amounting to some £140,000, it would appear that a grievous mistake has been made somewhere or other. Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, now the largest contrac tors in Europe, put in the highest tender. That this great house, however, who have undertaken works to the extent of many millions, would have made so egregious a blunder as £140,000 in a con tract of some £450,000 is beyond the pale of proba bility. The difference is, in fact, so startling that it would be only justice to the unfortunate ratepayers, before the contract is finally sealed, to cause an in vestigation to be set on foot, to see whether a simi lar error to the last may not have crept into the calculation of the quantities, or into some other fun damental feature of the calculation. The Board may object that this inquiry would entail an expenditure of some hundreds of pounds, and that if the calcula _ _ _ tions should be foundcorrect this would be so much money ibrown away. Had the Board not committed such an egregious blunder before, there might be something in this arguinent. But public confidence has been , so shattered by the former exposure that the ratepayers would cheerfully pay this compara tively small amount to be satisfied that they may not eventually be losers to the extent of many thousands. It might happen, too, that the person who put , in the lowest tender may have made a mis take in his calculations, and that he may find even tually that he catlnot complete it, except at ruinous loss. Therefore, the public might suspect that the work would not be perfected in the strong and effective manner which they had a right to expect, though it is not for an instant supposed that this would be the case, because, of course, the works would be carried out under the superintendence of proper efficient officers of the Board. But still men would reason in the same way with respect to the proceedings of a public board and large works as they would in the case of an individual who had entered into a contract with a builder to erect a house at a price less than the prime cost of the materials. The difference between the amount of the tenders for the great works in question is, supposing no mistake has been made by Messrs. Peto, Betts, end Brassey, very much the same as that of the builder and the private individual. The discrepancy is so startling that the Board is bound at any inconvenience, expense, or delay, to investigate most minutely all the circum stances of the case. They must recollect that the works carrying on are not to last merely for a year b t or e w two e , a o r r ab ev d eaetnlr of centuries. ooyears years, but areexpectedto bear move now would be fatal. To save £lOO,OOO, or even £150,000 might turn out to be the worst possible economy. We are quite willing to give the Metro politan Board of Works every credit for the best in tentions, and to admit that every allowance should be made for the pressure that is put upon them b y , their constituents, who naturally see with great un easiness large loans contracted for, large works en tered into, and other large works projected. But still their duty is to see that the work is well done, and even to risk whatever popularity they may have in order that the ratepayers' money shall not bs expended in vain. It would be doubtless pain ful and humiliating if they have made a second mistake ; but, like sensible men, they should meet the difficulty, if there is one, at once. They may be quite sure that those. gentlemen who have unsuccessfully tendered will most scrupulously and assiduously watch the carrying out of the works. To such men, for instance, as Messrs. Peto and Co. it is no trifling thing to make so largo a mistake, supposing that they have done so, because whenever they put in tenders for other great works their proposals will be looked upon with something very like suspicion, not as regards the integrity of the intended contractors, but as to their proneness to make mistakes. An investigation is, therefore, imperatively demanded.—Observer. 111ILITARY ORGANIZATION. (FROM THE TIMES' COP' ESPONDENT LATE WITH THE FRENCH ,12.111 Y IN ITALL) The character of the old machine or automatic military system can be best judged of by the favourite comparison of the old school, according to which war is like a game of chess—the commander a kind of military Staunton, and the army under his orders a collection of wooden or ivory pieces, to be moved about according to tho insight and will of the players. Such being the beau ideal to be attained, all endeavours were directed to deprive the soldier as much as possible of all sparks of ind vidual life, and to make him as nearly as possible resemble a piece of wood or of any other inani mate matter. He was chosen for his size, he was dressed like a puppet, his instructions began by making him forget how to use his muscles, and teaching him how to move according to certain proscribed rules. Having, after much trouble, succeeded in stiffening his body. the soldier was placed together with others equally stiffened, and taught to move in a certain order. Every means were used to impress him with the idea that ho was weak and helpless as an individual, and that his safety lay in the narrow circle assigned to him. In order to strengthen this conviction, the soldier's life out of the ranks was subjected to regulations analogous to those which were prescribed for his movements in the ranks, aline was systematically drilled to be dependent on others in every trifle, never to think or provide for himself, but to trust implicitly those above him. To carry out such a system it was necessary to co-ordinate all the branches of military administration in a correspond ing manner, so as to mako the mechanism complete. Everything had to be regulated minutely, and a complicated system of control to be introduced, in order to make sure that all these rules would be observed. As in the soldier, so in the administra- tion likewise all individual exertion, initiative, and responsibility had to be banished. Even the best meant efforts in this respect were calculated to create confusion, and the only road to salvation was through routine. It is just about a century since this system was brought to its greatest perfection in Prussia by Frederick 11., and the Prussian army became hence forth the model for all the other armies in Europe. Tho French revolutionary wars and those of the Empire introduced a new element into this system, which, without changing the principle on which it was based, modified it somewhat. Assailed by a powerful coalition, the French Republic had to call in the popular element. The old military organisa tion was upset, and there was no time to rebuild it again, but the national spirit of the masses was roused, and the Convention took advantage of it. It substituted for the passive obedience the equally blind impulse of the masses. The in discriminate compulsory conscription, the idea of equality, and then of subordination of individual interests to the common welfare, gave the in dividual soldier even less value than before, and re quired, if possible, a more severe organisation. It was reserved for the genius of a Napoleon to adapt the old system to'the altered circumstances. Both the original and the modified machine! sys tems were essentially calculated for centralised de spotic countries, but were so much against the very spirit of free institutions that they could never be but imperfectly introduced in England. The sys tem could only be carried, just far enough to im pair more or loss the most valuable qualitfes of the British soldier, without compensating for this loss by any other advantages. The soldier was drilled sufficiently into a machine to become utterly helpless, when left to himself, but the individual spirit was too strongly rooted in the,, race from which he was drown not to resist all at tempts made to break it down. Thus the British soldier, whose brothers could penetrate into the most inhospitable regions of the earth and endure hardships and privations which no one else could, got the credit of being utterly useless except for actual fighting. and of wanting to be carried in a litter to the battlefield. Thus it came that while self-government was the pride of the Anglo-Saxon race all over the world, the British soldier had to be subjected to a more brutal code of discipline al most than the debased serf of Russia ; and yet in spite of this severe discipline, or rather on account of it, no soldier was more unmanageable and liable ;o excesses. and nose so prompt to get " out of hand." In no army wer e th ere grea ter pains taken to arrive at perfection in evolutions and manual exercise, and the superiority of the Bri tish soldier was always evinced in the file fire and the bayonet charges—that is, where his natural qualities of coolness and boldness came into play. The more perfect—that is, the more helpless and dependent—the British soldier became, the more was it necessary that the military administration, his Providence—should be likewise more perfect; and yet, owing to the institutions of the country and to the,'peculiar circumstances in which it was placed the means for the end were beyond reach. The complicated system required continual practice, and English laws and English Parliaments would not allow such practice. The principle of the system is great centralisation, which was contrary to the spirit of English institutions. The routine could only be taught by years of training, and in England patronage plays the most prominent part in official advancement. Such being the obstacles in this sphere likewise, only enough could be done to give an illustration of all the defects of the continental system, without attaining any of ita advantages. It was, in one word, an attempt to introduce a fo reign institution utterly unfitted to the genius of the people, and the result could only be a failure. This has been so invariably the case, that people have begun to consider it as the inevitable beginning of every war, and to console themselves with the idea that somehow or other it gets right in the end. And if it does get right in the end, to what is it due but to the fact that the individual qualities of Englishmen, and the power of the nation, are able to triumph in spite of self-created difficulties, that England is strong enough to bear the loss of an army, and that the individual exertions of her sons compensate for the defects of the system? Read the "Life of Sir John Moore," "The Wellington De spatches," " Sir William Napier's Peninsular War" —they all bear witness tos the long and herculean labour which it took to break down the system. It was the hardest fight in that long, hard-fought cam paign ; and if at last the British army became supe rior in everything to any continental army, to what was it due but to a return from an unnatu ral routine and machine system to one more adapted to the genius of Englishmen, which Sir John Moore first conceived, and the Duke of Wellington per fected ? Both these great men understood that it would be a vain attempt to oppose lifeless machines to the enthusiastic impulse of the soldiers of the first Empire, and they worked, and succeeded, to make the individual soldier and. the single regiments superior. They saw that it was folly to try and imitate the powerful centralized military organiza tion of France, and they waged war against the pedantry of routine until they had enforced the great principle of individual exertion and indivi dual responsibility, and until every man "knew his duty, and did it." They took as the first and most•neces,mry condi tion of success the physical strength an.d material welfare of the soldier. No trouble was too much, no responsibility too great, to obtain th 7 ..s aim. The anecdotes of the time show sufficiently the rigour with which this subject was looked to. 'The official routine, which allows no one to know his duty and relieves every one from responsibility, was by de grees shaken off, arid free scope given :to personal exertion under strict responsibility. The material thus ready at hand, it was put to the best use, There were no Enfields then, but the:British aol dier knew better than any other how to use his flint lock, and his flying was superior to that of his adversaries. At an epoch when movements of masses were the fashion, Sir John Moore, who had been in America, created the Light Brigade, which became the model for all the later organization. While iu the French army the conscript was fixed in his place, the British infantry had made skir mishing a science. It was the habit thus acquired by the soldier of using his faculties which gave him the consciousness of superiority, and which enabled him, formed in a thin line, to face the heavy columns of the enemy. He sought his support, not in the "touch," but in his own breast, and it was this which gave the boasted steadiness to the British soldier, and which made his bayonet charge irresistible ; • and the result of this application of the true prin ciple was that at the end of the war the British army and military organization were the best in Europe. People are justly proud of their Peninsular recol lections; the only thing necessary would be to re collect rather the spirit which created that splendid organization than those of the forms which, how ever perfect then, have become obsolete now. In garding too anxiously these forms the spirit which gave them life has been forgotten, and the routine and machine system has revived almost as strong as ever. As far- as the administration goes you have the best proof in the Crimean war, where, up to this moment, the responsibility could be brought home to No one. This characterises the system better than anything else. Everyone was, or thought himself, hampered by official formalities ; most things were, properly speaking, no one's business ; no one knew how far his power went, and all had forgotten how to act on their own responsibility. Every depart ment was in difficulties with every other depart ment, and the consequence was confusion in all. Recall the Report on the Sanitary Conditirn of the British Army, and compare it with the general mortality; look at a British soldier in full marching order; compare the muscles of the finest specimen of a Guardsman with those of any other of his own class not a soldier, and you will agree that the very basis of the Peninsular system—the physical strength of the soldier—has been forgotten. Go to Aldershott, or anywhere else, and see a field-day. The chief business of the soldier, armed with the deadly rifle, and knowing, moreover, how to use it against a target, is to march past in slow step, half distance, full distance, wheel, and ivheel round and round, and go through a greater or smaller number of complicated evolutions very de lightful to the spectator, but utterly useless in war against Minies and rifled cannon. You will see, perhaps, some skirmishing, but it is nothing more than moving in line a little apart with the sergeant and his flag behind. Not one is taught the value of a wall or ditch—only that of the straight line; he must go back to his line again. These are some of the forms of Sir John Moore's Light Brigade, but the spirit is dead, except perhaps, in the regi ments which once formed it. For England, therefore, to adapt its military organisation to the spirit of the age is at the same time to return to her own well-understood glorious traditions, to reject what is contrary to leer nature and can never lead to success in the field. It is to herself she must look for instruction, follow her own genius, avail herself of her own peculiar advantage; and dare to lead even in mili tary matters, as she does in most others. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. CIIURCII THUNDER. Archbishop Dixon, the Roman Catholic Primate, has just issued a manifesto to the faithful of Drogheda. It is,. in effect, the sentence of excom munieation upon the French Emperor, a prelimi nary notice of which was foreshadowed in the speech delivered by the most rev. e'icommunicator at one of the recent pro-Papal meetings in his dio cess. For violence of language this outburst of archiepiscopal wrath is so far without parallel since the opening of the new chapter in Irish agitation. What is yet to come a few day will probably tell. The following is a copy of the document:— "Dearly Beloved Friends,—On the late occasion of our meeting to express sympathy with the Holy Father I considered it my duty to make such ob servations on the conduct pursued by the French Emperor since the commencement of the war in Italy as were not calculated, I freely admit, to create an impression favourable to his Imperial Majesty, and that those observations were not dis agreeable to you may be learned from the remark able fact—peculiar, I should suppose, to our meet ing in Drogheda, among all the meetings lately held in Ireland--that the only name received with hisses at that meeting was the name of Napo leon 111. " I avail myself now of the public press to call your attention to the full confirmation which the events of the last few days have given to the justice of the sentiments which then found favour with " Some, even among our Catholic brethren in this country, were disposed to censure us as exceed ing in sse'..erity towards his Majesty on the occa sion to which I refer. All such persons are now, I should hope, undeceived. The Emperor has thrown off the mask. By means of the letter which he addressed to Rome on the 31st of December, and which he has published in the lifomiteur, he stands revealed to the world as the imitator of his uncle in his treatment of the Holy See. The wretched plausibilities with which that letter is interspersed can impose on none. " To find a parallel for the infamous address which he makes to the Holy Father, let us imagine a well armed captain of a gang of robbers, who, placing his hand on the throat of some unfortunate and defencless traveller whom he has seized, says to him : " You have, indeed, my dear friend, an ".incon testable right to your money ; but consider this — I cannot permit any foreign or external aid to come to your defence ; you may yourself, if you please, defend your purse ; but I advise you not to mind doing so ; the easiest solution of the difficulty in which you find yourself is, to give up your money quietly to me; and, in return for this amiable con descension on your part, I shall guarantee to you the secure possession of your clothes and your life. You may range with safety for many years through these mountain passes, and you will place me and the banditti who acknowledge my authority under a debt of gratitude, which we shall ever cheerfully acknowledge.' " It is such an address as this which the Eldest Son of the Church has made to the Father of the Faithful. 0! how all good, Catholics over the world must be horrorstruck on reading that letter in the Moniteur ! You will admit with me that the appropriate residence for its author would be the prison of Hata rather than the Palace of the Tuileries. How I pity the chivalrous French na tion lying prostrate under the feet of such a ruler. But let us hope that a ♦oice will yet reach him, which by the awe that it shall inspire will have the effect of paralysing the hand stretched out against the Holy Father—l mean the voice of indignant Catholic Christendom, which, rising above the ju bilation of the enemies of the Church over the world, will fall on his ear in some such words as these— " Robber, take your hand from the throat of the Vicar of Christ.' " I am, dearly beloved friends, your ever faith. ful servant, "'i l , JOSEPH DIXON, Archbishop, Primate of all Ireland. " Drogheda, Jan. 15." _ THE RUINED INTEREST. The following is an extract from the trade report of the Belfast Mercury of Saturday. The great measure of 1846 was to have shaken the agricultu ral interest of Great Britain to its base, but in Ire land—the grazing farm of John Bull—it wag to have been shattered to atoms. It will be seen, how ever, that, as far as this country is concerned, far mers are still enabled to do a pretty safe busmees in the midst of the general ruin of their class " The gloomy predictions of Protectionists in Parliament and in the press as to the ruinously low rate of agricultural prices, should the great mea sure of free trade become the law, contrast very strikingly with what those prices actually are, and have been for some years steadily advancing to. How confidently used it to be insisted upon that, to abolish the beloved sliding-scale, or even to meddle with any of its fanciful gradations, would certainly cause all the arable land of the United Kingdom to go out of cultivation, as it would. be impossible for our farmers to compete in the growth of grain with the more fortunate cultivators of Continental steppes and 'American prairies. And then, as to pasturage, matters would not be much better ; there, again, foreign importations would drive us out of our own markets, and the. best beef, mutton, and pork would be only worth in London or Liverpool some 2d. or 3d. per lb., while about 6d. per lb. would be the extreme value of the primest butter. How all this has been falsified by the event every body, and espeoiolly those on set incomes, know full well, and will, perhaps, become more apparent to our readers, as it has to ourselves, when we give the results of two or three recent sales which have clime within our knowledge. The first was by all extensive grazier, who received for 40 heifers £l,o4o—only think of upwards of £l,OOO for 40 head of cattle, sonic of which sold at above £26; but they averaged that sum. It may be stated that they were bought only last May for fattening, and have left a large profit to the feeder. The other cases are where one small farmer sold a lot of pigs at over 503. per cwt., and another some firkins of butter at considerably above ls. per lb.; both stating that they made up their year's rent with little more than half the quan tity of produce which would have been often re quired during the palmiest days of Protection. And this is the ruin which free trade was so surely to have inflicted on the agricultural interest !' " MONDAY EVENING. MR. MASSEY O'GRADY. The following intelligence has been received in Dublin this evening by telegram from Cork " CORK, - MONDAY. " The Cork Examiner states that a letter -has been received in that city from a lady in the county of Limerick, the wife of a stipendiary magistrate, stating that the body of Mr. Massey O'Grady, whose mysterious disappearance a short time ago was announced in the public journals, had been found buried, and that no doubt exists of the un fortunate gentleman having been murdered. The letter adds that four men have been apprehended on suspicion." PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. 2 fIE NAVY. The Severn, 50, which has been undergoing the process of conversion from a sailing to a screw steam frigate, is now nearly completed at Chatham, and will be shortly undocked. The following screw steamere now on the stocks at Chatham Dockyard, have several hundred hands employed on each of them, and efforts are being made to bring them forward for launching during the present year—viz., the Bulwark, 91 ; the Atlas, 91; the Undaunted, 51 ; the Orpheus, 51 ; and the Rattlesnake, 21. Tho Lords of the Admiralty have ordered an entry of ten additional apprentices to take place at Chatham Dockyard. The Wanderer, 6, screw despatch vessel, Com mander M. Pechell, sailed from Portsmouth yester day for the eastward, to pay off. The Weser, 6, paddle, Commander Ruby, V.C., sailed from Portsmouth yesterday. The Melbourne, No. 5 screw steam transport, rut into the Mother bank on Sunday evening, from Woolwich for China, for shelter from the strong westerly gales prevalent in the Channel. The weather haying moderated yesterday morning, with the wind light at N.W., she proceeded on her voyage. A number of superior workmen are still required in the shipbuilding department at Chatham Dock yard, the whole number of additional hands ordered by the Admiralty to be taken on at that establish ment not having been entered for the financial year. First-class workmen are sure of constant work, but a doubt appears to have arisen whether their ser vices will be required after the financial year, and a difficulty is experienced in obtaining the re quisite number of men. During the past few weeks several of the additional shipwrights have volun tarily discharged themselves from Chatham Dock yard, alleging as their reason the inadequacy of the pay they receive for the kind of work they are required to perform, compared with the amount of wages given in other establishments. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander J. Palmer and Commander G. H. Gardiner have been appointed for the service of the Royal Naval Reserve ; Com mander J. S. Rundle to be Inspecting Commander of the Coastguard vice Commander Woodley, super seded at his own request; and W. J. Stevens, pay master, to the Hydra. THE ARMY. The Colonelcy of the 73d Regiment of Foot has become vacant in consequence of the death of Lieut.- General Chesborough Grant Falconer, K.H., which occurred at his seat at Flazelbank,near Edinburgh, on the 10th inst. The deceased General entered the army upwards of 64 years ago, and joining the 61st Regiment at the Cape in Feb., 1801, accompanied it to Egypt, joining General Baird's army at Cosier. He crossed the Desert with it, and remained in Egypt until 1803. He served the campaign in Italy under Sir James Craig in 1804 and 1805, and under Sir John Stuart in 1806. At thebattle of Maida he had a horse shot under him while acting as Aide-de- Camp to Gen. Acland. He again went to Egypt in 1807, and served at the attack on the fortified heights and forts of Alexandria, the investment and siege of Rosetta, &c. He served the campaign in Holland and Flanders in 1814 and 1815, and commanded the 78th Light Infantryat both attackson Merxem, bombardment of Antwerp, &c. His commissions bear date as Ensign. Sept. 1, 1795 ; Lieutenant, Nov. 1, 1799 ; Captain, Dec. 26, 1805 ; Brevet-Ma jor, Aug. 12, 1819 ; Major, June 25, 1823 ; Lieut.- Colonel, Oct. 22, 1825 ; Colonel, June 28, 1838 ; Major-General, Nov. 11, 1851 ; Colonel of the 73d Foot, Feb. 11, 1857 ; and Lieutenant-General, July 20,1858. He had received the Egyptian gold medal, also the silver war medal, with two clasps, for Egypt and Maida. The candidates for admission to the Royal Indian Military College, Addiscombe, attended yesterday at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, for examination. Major-Gen. Cameron (Vice-President), Major-Gen.

We glean the following particulars relating to the organisation of the navy of France from au able article, by M. de Mondy, in the I?erue Contempo raine. The author's object is to show that the navy of his country is far from being out of proportion with either its resources or requirements, and is therefore not large enough to excite reasonable jealousy. He also points out certain defects in the system, for which he proposes remedies ; we, how ever, shall limit ourselves to a fow bare facts. The permanent levy of seamen dates from 1835 ; it is so called because it is going on at all times-as well as the discharges. As soon as a vessel arrives in port the aithorities immediately take a min,ute account of the ship's oompany, and send those who have not yet served the State, or who havo not served it for a sufficient length of time, on bo . ard a Government vessel, according to the requirements of the service. Their first term lasts three years ; after which, in case of necessity, they may again be summoned to serve, but are in that case discharged as soon as pos sible. The following table shows the gradnal in crease in the maritime resources of France since the establishment of the new system, compared with what they were in 1791 : Men Inscribed. 1791. 1836. 1845. 1850. Officers and sailors 62,478 .. 54,703 .. 64,946 .. 71,595 Landsmen 10,897 .. 15,372 .. 20,930 .. 24,799 Boys 8,352 .. 12,477 15,400 .. 17, 502 Workmen and appren tices Captains, masters, and Piluts Total 111,104 104,813 124,200 139,310 This increase, amounting to one-fourth . ofthe num ber furnished by the inscription in 1791, greater than any previous one within an equal period of years, and shows the immense progress of trade and manufacture in France. From 1817 tp 1856 th e whole tonnage of Fren ch ships has increased from 663,000 tons to 998,000 tons, the diff erence b e i ng chiefly owing to tho building of larger vessels, so that the number of those exceeding 400 t ons h as risen from 58 to 422 ! Estimating th e num b er o f seamen at the rate of eight men per 100 t o n s , the whole French mercantile navy would:seem at pre sent to amount to 80,000 men. I n 1850 t h e Com mission of Inquiry calculated that about 56,000 man might be relied on for the manning of the navy, and the author believes that at present the State might count upon an average of between 50,000 and 60,000 men--a force barely sufficient to man ~HE . "~'l' _ (From kfr. Russell's Diary in India.) Whilst I am waiting about it, I may as well re ' late an incident in connection with one of the Named chief advisers, which I mentioned to the Governor- General, who appeared much struck with it. After the repulse of the allies in their assault on Sebasth pet, 18th June, an event closely followed by the death of Lord Raglan, and a cessation of any opera tions, except such as were connected with a re newed assault upon the place, I went down for a few days to Constantinople, and, whilst stopping at Alissirie's saw, on several occasions, a handsome slim young man, of dark olive complexion, dressed in an- Oriental costume which was new to me, and covered with rings and fim.rv. He spoke French and English, dined at the table (note, an 3, as fir as I . could make out, was an Indian prince, who was on his way back from the prosecution of an unsuc cessful claim against the East India Company is London. He had made the acquaintance of-Mr. Boyne, veho was going out to the Crimea as the superintendent of Sir J. Paxton's Army Works Corps, and by that gentleman he was introduced to me one fine summer's evening, as we were smoking on the roof of the hotel. I did not remember his name, but I recollect that he expressed great anxiety about a passage to the, Crimea, " as," said he, " want to see this famous city, and those great Roos tums,theßussians,who have beaten French and Eng lish together." Indeed, he added that he was going to Calcutta, when the news of the defeat of June 18th reached him at Malta, and he was so excited by it that he resolved to no to Constantinople, and endeavour thence to get , a passage to.Balaklava. In the course of, conversation he. boasted a good deal of his,,puccess ioiondon society, and used the names OT people of rank very freely, which, Com bined with the tone of his remarks, induced me to regard him with suspicion, mingled, I confess, with . dislike. He not only mentioned his t onnes fortunes, but expressedd - a very' decided opinion that, unless women were restrained, as they were in the East, " like moths in candlelight, they will fly and get burned." I never saw or heard anything more of him until some weeks afterwards, when a gentle man rode up to my hut at Cathcart's-hill, and 'sent me in a note from Mr. Doyne, asking me to assist his friend Azimoola Khan in visiting the trenches, and on going out I recognised the Indian prince. I had his horse put up, and walked to the general's hut to get a pass for him. The sun was within an hour of setting, and the Russian batteries had just opened, as was their custom, to welcome our reliefs and working-parties, so that shot came bounding up towards the hill where our friends were stand ing, and a shell burst in the air at apparently near proximity to his post. Some delay took place ere I could get the pass, and when I went with it 1 found Azimoola :had retreated inside the ceme tery, and was looking with marked interest at the fire of the Russian nuns. I told him what he was to do, and regretted my inability to accompany him, as I was going out to dinner at a mess in the Light Division. Oh,' said he, this is a beautiful place to see from ; I can see everything, and as it is late I will ask you to come some other day, and will watch here till it is time to go home.' lie said laughingly, I think you will never take that strong place;' and in reply to me, when I asked him to come to dine with me at my friend's, where I was sure he would be welcome, he said, with a kind of sneer, ' Thank you, but recollect I am a good Ma homedan !' But,' said I, ' you dined at Missirie's?' Oh, yes ; I was joking. lam nut such a fool as to believe in these foolish thing ;. lam of no religion.' When I came home that night I found he was asleep in my camp-bed, and my servant told ire he had enjoyed my stores very freely. In the morning he was up and off ere I was awake. On my tabl3 I found a piece of paper—' Azimoola Khan presents his compliments to Russell, Esquire, and begs to thank him most truly for his kind attentions, for which I am most obliged.' This fellow, as we ail know, was the Nana's secre tary, and chief adviser in the massacres at Cawnpore. Now, is it not curious enough that he should have felt such an interest to see, with his own eyes, how matters were going on in the Crimea? It would not be strange in a European to evince such curiosity, but in au Asiatic of the non-military caste it certainly is. lle saw the British army in estate of some depres sion, and he formed, as I have since heard, a very un favourable opinion of its morale and physique, in comparison with that of the French. Let us remem ber that soon after his arrival in India he accom panied Nana Sahib to Lucknow, where they re• mained for some time, and are thought by those who recollect -their tone and dememaoar to have exhibited considerable insolence and hauteur t4iz wards the Europeans they met. Afterwards the worthy couple, on the pretence of a pilgrimage to the hills—a Hindoo and MUSE Oman joined in a holy excursion !—visited the military stations all along the main trunk-road, and went as far as Umballah. It has been suggested that their object in going to Simla was to tamper with the Goorkha regiment stationed in the hills ; but that, finding on their arrival at Umballah a portion of the regiment were in cantonments, they were unable to effect their pur poses with these men, and desisted from their pro posed journey on the plea of the cold weather. That the Nana's demeanour towards us should have un dergone a change at this time is not at all wonderful; for he had learned the irrevocable determination of the authorities to refuse what he—and, let me add, the majority of the millions of Ilindoos who knew the circumstances—considered to be his just rights as adopted heir of the ex-Peishwa of the Mahrattas. When the great villany was planned is not now ascertainable ; but it must be remarked, as a piece of evidence in some degree adverse to the supposition that Nana Sahib had successfully tam pered with the troops at Cawnpore, that the latter did not evince any design of making him their leader, nor did they hold any communication with him on their revolt, and that they wore all march ing off for Delhi when he and his creatures went to their camp, and by his representations, promises, and actual disbursements, induced them to go back and assault Wheeler in his feeble intrenchmcnts. THE WAR IN 1110ROC;0. The Times' correspondent, " coached" by Spanish officers almost as ignorant as himself of military matters, affects to laugh at the Moors, who cannot abide the bayonet, who are slow in firing, who wear dirty white robes, and carry antiquated arms. So laughed the Italian patricians when Valerian rode forth to chastise Sapor and the Persians; so sneered our journalists when English troops were sent to chastise the despicable Affghans, who slew us among their passes like sheep. To some mcn history teaches no lesson, and the past is a useless blank. The Times may deride the scantily dressed Moor, with his long cumbrous matchlock, and his fierce but undisciplined cavalry; but those who have seen the Moor and Spaniard side by side can laugh at the sophistries of a prejudiced reporter. The Moors, as competent observers assure us, are tall, stalwart, clean-built men, of unimpeachable ts, courage and great strength. They dress light be cause of the burning climate, they are dexterous swordsmen and good shots. Some of their tribes are horsemen, fierce and skilful as the old Mamelukes or the murdered Janissaries—as superior to the ill mounted Spaniards as our own Hussars are to our rustic yeomanry. They inhabit a country without roads, and which in the rainy season is impassable; in winter, rains, coming down in deluge rivers, will torment and cow the Spaniards ; with the summer heat, a " dins cohors" of fevers will fight against the invaders, who will find their_ paltry artillery poor weapons against sun-strokes and the unseen blows of African malaria. Our readers, too, must remem ber that these Spaniards are not the Spaniards of the Cid, or of Ferdinand and Isabella's reign. They are the degraded, priest-ridden, demoralised sub jects of a modern Messalina, sons of the men who fled from the French whenever bayonets were crossed men whom the Iron Duke always spoke of with dis ajt li!te T u h s e for winning irnsn,iwn byeg gust, as Peterboroug h had done b efore : " her offi cers th e greatest robbers, her soldiers th e grea t est cowards" —men who to this we d ol the victories v t ic moreover torie s tremember, e deny be r are men not enerva t e d civilisation's down bed ; they are staunch believers Morocco less th an i n T ur k e y Deism--in hommedan innovations ; they fight i for n a t corruptedhpeui pure wives, children, and home ; they know the country and bide their time. Heat and famine will fight their quarrel, and drive the Spaniard to his ships. At Gibraltar the Moors have been our true friends ever since we held that bone of contention. But for them there have been times during French sieges when we should have been starved out over and over again. Let us not imitate repudiating Spain's ingratitude, and forget our "friends in need ;" let the Spanish historians leave out all men tion of our saving victory of Salamanca, but let us not forget the friendly Moors and their timely car goes of beef. That rock is a sore sight to Spanish eyes. There may come a day when Moorish beef ' I will again be needed at "Gib," and Tetuan will be the nearest place to get it. The motive is not a contemptible one. A man cannot face death on potted meats, and Moorish oxen will again be sought. Gibraltar—that fattens on Moorish trade, that lives on the money of Moorish merchants, and depends ou Barbary for food—has surely no rea son for wishing to see the Spaniards victorious.— , The Leader and Saturday Analyst. ~. ~f ` R 3i :~ ',;,~ t Or 172 -_--1
