LITERATURE. Laugh At," is so far remarkable, however, among its compeers on the book-stalls of the railway sta tions, that it glitters outside with more than usu ally brilliant colouring. Its sparkling hues, never theless, resemble in other respects than their splen dour those visible on the surface of a floating soap-bubble—they are not one iota less fleeting in their evanescence. CORN EXCHANGE. Cinderella and the Glass Slipper. Illustrated by George Cruikshank. David Bogue. Excellent Mr. Harris, of St. Paul's Church yard, never dreamt of such a delectable treat for the chubby young nursery folks for whose intellec tual appetites he catered so long and so very plea santly—ho never dreamt, we say, that charming Mr. Harris, that grandfather Whitehead among booksellers !—of the issue from the press of any " Fairy Library" like this—a fairy library, edited by the pure pen, and embellished by the delicate and agile pencil of our perennial and beloved George Cruikshank. Already the same artist-story-teller has recounted to us, all over again, and with what an accession to the old legendary tales of grace and wizardry ! the wonderful fortunes of Sir Mannikin " Hop o' My Thumb" (reminding us in etchings of magical merit how the Ogre was bamboozled out of his Seven-League Boots by the adroitness of Hopi the enrich Whippersnapper), as 11 7 611 as the still more wonderful fortunes, if that be possible, of clever Master Jack and the weird beanstalk, by the aid of which the here-urchin clambered in a twink ling from the back garden up through the clouds to the brink, not, however of heaven, but of the realms of giant cannibalism ! In a delightful article about picture-books for children, contri buted by Mr. Thackeray to the recently-published number of the old Quarterly Review—a charming chapter of most genial wisdom and facetiousness, to which only the other day we took occasion to direct our readers' attention very earnestly—the wittiest of modern critics has said regretfully, and almost reprehensively, of our artist, "We prefer the comic and fanciful to the historic, romantic, and, at present, didactic George." While we coincide to the full with th e judicious preference by Signor Buonarotti Titinarsh for those more fasci nating attributes of the genius of George Cruik shank—namely, the " comic" and the " fanciful," we cannot, for the life of us, regard either of them as left in abeyance, or subordinated, in any way nowadays to the historic, romantic, or didactic powers of our "brave, honest, kindly, pure-minded artist, humourist, moralist " Witness this the exquisite series of shilling publications now coming before us by instalment after instalment, this graceful " Fairy Library," through the embellish ments of which George Cruikshank proves himself to be more conspicuously than ever, both humorous and imaginative. Comically as he has so often appeared, time and again, since the memorable evening in the days of his boyhood, when his keen eye detected, from the street outside, over the parlour window-blind of a low public-house, ostentatiously perched above the tap-room chim ney-piece, that plaster-of-Paris bust of Shakspere, with. the clay pipe in its mouth. Sight of outre fun, and bizarre extravagance, the grotesque gla mour of which wakened up on the instant all the dormant drollery of the future prince among cari caturists Fanciful and comic as the artistic powers of George Cruikshank have since then shown themselves to be so abundantly —as once upon a time by his illustration of Washington Irving's conceit about the little dog, whose tail curled so tight that it lifted him off his hind legs— we cannot remember them to have been ever more brilliantly indicated as such—as comic almost to exaggeration and fanciful almost to extravagance— than in these delicious revivals of the dear old tales of the nursery fireside—" Jack Ind the Magic Bean stalk "—seven-league-booted "Hop-o'-my-Thumb" —and the earliest and sweetest of our first-loves, charming little glass-slippered Cinderella. Already we have noticed in these columns the graceful merits of the two former—in our comments upon each at the time of its original appearance. It was scarcely possible, indeed, to have passed either by without observation—the mere announcement of their forthcoming being provocative among many of what we cannot but regard as a very pardonable curiosity both as to the letterpress and the accom panying embellishments. Surely it must have been thus a hundred years ago, when the prospectus was first issued of a new edition of " Hudibras," to be adorned with etchings from the needle of Mr. Hogarth. And so with something no less kindred between theme and illustration has it been amongst ourselves very recently in regard to this issue of a new " Fairy Library," founded upon the old, old tales, dear to the hearts and memories of all as having been first drunk in with wondering delight by the exquisitely appreciative senses of childhood —the issue in this new form of these same darling fictions of the nursery—no longer embellished by gaudy-coloured woodcuts without any other charm beyond that arising out of the brilliant varie gation of gamboge, carmine, Prussian blue, and vermillion. A. "Fairy Library" from the pen and pencil of George Cruikshank ! A game of romps with Robin Goodfellow I Better we take it, speaking on the part of the young folks in whose behalf the undertaking has been benefi cently designed, better than chestnuts for roasting at Christmas, or snapdragon for broiling on Twelfth night. For the which magnificent preference lot this one story (retold and re-embellished) of " Cin derella and the Glass Slipper" be taken in justifi cation. Little Cinderella, herself prettier than ever, her dainty foot far daintier, her golcleit hair more golden—musing cinderously in the chimney corner in that wonderful frontispiece ! With that marvellously small peewit of a witch opposite, in the peaked hat and the high-heeled shoes 1 Below— the glass slipper on a - velvet cushion, supported by the golden trumpets of the king's trumpeters ! Above— the clock " en the prick of" midnight—the melon and the rat, the mice and the lizards ! Everything, indeed, from first to last throughout the whole series of the ten beautiful etchings here introduced, is befitting the witcheries of the bewitched and be witching Cinderella. Even after the transformation has been effected by the crutch-handled wand of that delightful fairy godmother in the legend— Georgeuided his pencil that y origin of all through the pomps turn -out--the melon in ano d you still gloriesil lCruikshanksee othfe the magic has the state coach, the lizards in th ose gorgeous flun kies, and the whiskered rat in th a t l ong -moustache d coa chman. Enough, however, i n. regar d to t h e merits of this third instalment of a "Fairy Library," which, if but continued as it has been com menced, will render yet dearer than ever to the children of England a name already pleasant in their ears, that of their genial and jocund George Cruikshank. Very moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the couatry markets held on Saturday, yet the demand for all kinds was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Barley was very dull and cheaper. All other articles !Hold heavily, on rather easier terms. As most of the continental ports are now frozen up we have no sales of grain to report for immediate shipment. From New York we have advices to the effect that flour was cheaper. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were on a limited scale. From abroad we received 923 quarters of wheat, 420 barley, 250 oats, 887 rye, 181 tares, 3,814 linseed, 1,297 rapeseed, BSB sundry seeds, and 1,009 barrels of flour. Owing to the extreme severity of the weather, and the great difficulties in the navigation of the Thames, scarcely any fresh supply of English wheat came to hand to-day. Tho show of samples was extremely small, yet it was equal to the demand ; but wo may observe that, as all craft work is now suspended, millers refrained from making pur chases, as it is almost imposilale to land cargoes oven when arsired. There was, therefore, literally no business doing in any kind, and prices were nominally the same as ou Monday last. There was. no foreign wheat on show except in granary or by railway, yet no disposition was shown to purchase any description. In the quotations wo have no change to notice. Floating cargoes off Falmouth were held at full prise;. The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was trifling. The trade, however, was in a depressed state, at nominal currencies. Malt sold heavily. In prices no alteration took place, Oats wore mostly held at full prices, and the sale for them was steady. For beans, the supply of which was moderate, the in quiry was very inactive, at late rates. The demand for peas was heavy, but we have n • change to notice in their value. Flour sold Slowly, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

SUNDAY NIGHT, Ten o'Clock.—Notwithstanding that 48 hours have elapsed since the breaking out of the disastrous fire, briefly noticed in this journal of Saturday last, in Holland-street, Blackfriars-road, it is even now far from being subdued. The premises in which the disaster commenced were in the occupation of Messrs. Routledge and Co., the extensive saw-mill proprietors. The different buildings occupied by this firm were of considerable extent, and were fitted up with machinery of several thousand pounds value, in addition to which there were many hundred pounds worth of timber, be longing to sundry tradesmen in the neighbourhood, sent to the mills to be sawn into boards ; whether the latter is insured by what is technically termed " floating poli cies," or not, is unknown. The buildings belonging to the firm just mentioned comprised several structures, including the steam-engine house, the boiler-house, the store-rooms, the sawing compartments, the patter:i -house, and sundry other pre mises, including some thousand pounds' worth of stock deposited, the whole of which has been reduced to ashes. The horses were rescued, but it was nearly a miracle that some of them had not perished, owing to the intensity of the heat. The fire seized upon two dwelling - -hou , es occupied by persons in the employ of the firm, and no little difficulty was experienced in getting the furniture out, and, as it is, much is partially destroyed. From this point the fire enveloped nearly 20,000/. worth of property belonging to Messrs. Waters and Steel, the flour factors ; and from flat place it laid hold of two dwelling-houses and a long range of stabling and a variety of carriages and waggons, the property of the same gentlemen. The flames next extended to two dwelling-houses on Rooper's-wharf, the lime merchants, and also the ware house. The next building that the conflagration seized upon was that in the tenure of Messrs. J. Richmond and Co. the bottle merchants. The different dwelling-houses were soon in a complete blaze, and they were quickly levelled with the ground. The next building the flames reached was that belong. ing to Messrs. Rennie, the engineers, separately only by a wall about 25 or 30 feet high. This place contained property valued at the least at a quarter of a million In , luding the machinery intended for several steamships for the ue of her Majesty's Government. Fortunately, many of the buildings are saved as well as some thousands of pounds' worth of stock and sundry moulds ; but the machiners' shop (a building about 300 feet in length), the pattern shops, the fitting shop, and pattern stores have been destroyed. Had it not been for the extraordinary exertions of the firemen noes of the property could have been saved, and, as it is, an area of ground nearly two acres in extent has been cieared, or nearly so, of everything that at one time stood upon it. Between 400 and 500 men will be thrown out of em ployment at Messrs. Rennie's by this disastrous event. The loss, at a moderate calculation, it ix expected, will reach 150,000/. FIRE AT THE JEWS' GREAT SYNAGOGUE. A fire, by which at least nearly 18,000/. worth of pro perty was placed ix jeopardy, took place in the premises known as the Jews' Synagogue, situate in Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate. The engines of the London Brigade soon attended, but the fire was not subdued until the chief entrance and other parts of the premises were either burnt or damaged by fire. Cause, overheat of the flue. Five ether fires took place during the day, but the damage in the whole did not exceed 1,000/. and fortu nately no lives were lost. FIRE AND PROBABLE LOSS OF THREE LIVES. A fire took place during Saturday, which, it is expected, will be attended with the loss of at least three lives. The fire broke out on the premises known as,Loek-wharf, Agar Town, St. Pancras, near King's-cross. The build ing in which the disaster occurred was nearly destroyed by the action of the fire and the force of the explosion, and three of the workmen were compelled to be carried to the hospital, where they remain without the least hopes of recovery. The fire was caused from the still head blowing off. CABAL AGAINST LORD PALMERSTON. We have adverted, in our first leading article, to a particular danger to which the new Administration of Lord Palmerston is exposed. But that is not its only peril. It is in jeopardy from another and altogether different source. Lord Palmerston has to contend with foes within his Cabinet as well as from enemies without. A cabal has already been formed against him by some of his colleagues. If he be not on his guard, he will fall a victim to the Peelite members of his Administra- tion. We do not speak without book. We will oven go so far as to say that the leading Peelites—a'term which, as we before remarked, is synonymous with Puseyites— had ulterior ♦iews .of their own, when they agreed to join his Government. And those views were only strengthened and still more fondly cherished, when they were defeated in their efforts to force upon him Lord Aberdeen as President of the Council, and Mr. Card well for some other seat in the Cabinet. Their feeling of hostility to the noble lord has now assumed the clia ' racter of a determination to be revenged for their dis comfiture. They now aim at wrestin the reins of power from the new Premier, and placing them in the bands of Mr. Gladstone. Strange as this announce ment may appear, it is true. Mr. Gladstone has long been ambitious of the Premiership, aid be thinks the time has arrived for his attaining that grand object of his ambition. Her Majesty has ti ied all the other leaders of parties, and they hare failed to form an Administration. And if the heels of Lori Palmerston can litany way be only tripped up, or he be induced to resign, instead of wait ing to be ejected from the Premiership, the Peelites regard the advent of Mr. Gladstone to the office of First Minister of the Crown, as an absolute certainty. We only record a fact, for the truth of which we can vouch, when we state that the Right Hon. Gentleman's most intimate friends in the University of Oxford regard his almost immediate accession to the Premiership, as being as much a matter of certainty, as if it were already an accomplished fact. It is right we should add, that a noble lord is the prime mover in the cabal which has for its object the ejection of Lord Palmerston from Premier ship, and the substitution of Mr. (xladstone. We could enter more into details, but we do not think it expedient to do so, in the present position of affairs.—Morning Advertiser. MR. LAYARD AND ADMIRAL DUNDAS. The following correspondence has been forwarded to us for publication : "Little Ryder-street, Feb. 17. "My dear Mr. Drummond,—l regret to find from the statement you made in the House of Commons, and from what you have told me to-day, that certain expressions in a letter of mine, which was not intended for publication, but which was printed in the ri»ZeB newspaper, have been misinterpreted, and have, therefore, naturally caused much pain to Admiral Dundas. We agree that there are two points upon which that letter requires explanation. In the first placo, I stated that Admiral Dundas, in a letter which I had seen, rejoiced in the sinking of a part of the Russian fleet. I admit that the letter to which I alluded does bear tie construction which you now inform me Admiral Dundas states he intended it to bear, and I regret that I should have placed any other upon it. Se condly, with regard to any words which nay appear to re flect upon his personal courage or private character, I beg distinctly to state that it was far from my intention to reflect upon either, and that I alluded to his professional conduct as Commander-in-Chief, and to what I considered a reluctance to meet responsibility. I am sorry to learn from you that my words should have been otherwise con strued by hien, and I willingly express my regret that they should have caused him pain. I beg you will assure Admiral Dundas that such aro ray sentiments, showing him this letter, of which you may make any other use you think fit. " Believe mo, yours very truly, " A.ll. LA.YARD. " Henry Drummond, Esq., M.P." " London Hotel, Albemarle-street, Feb. 17. " My dear Drummond,—After the explanation you have received from Mr. Layard, and which you have forwarded to me, I have no desire to think more of the matter be tween that gentleman and myself.

There was a slight increase in the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts compared with Monday last, and their general condition was very prime. Owing to the unusual severity of the weather, and the decrease in the consumption of food, arising from the want of em ployment amongst the labouring classes, the beef trade was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d. per 8 lbs. The top figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, ,Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,600 Scots and shorthorns; from ether parts of England 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 200 horned and polled Scots. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was but mo derate, all kinds moved off slowly, at prices barely equal to those of Monday last. The primest old Downs were worth ss. per 8 lbs. There were about 300 clipped sheep in the market. The few calves en offer sold heavily at Friday's decline in value of 6d. per 8 lbs. , There was a dull inquiry for pigs, on former terms.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is to bring before the House of Commons this evening his resolution with reference to the newspaper stamp. The plan proposed is not an abolition of the tax : it, is simply an alteration —the removal of an impost counterbalanced by the withdrawal of a privilege. Unless the details be consi derably modified, the scheme is one which is likely to be injurious to the public as well as to the press ; and it is brought forward unsupported by the recommendation of any committee, and in direct opposition to the testimony already y f t 3e given o h o e l ; question ) G e r ') ‘ a . c r n n u n h has s . n t been t officials.cohansidered been argued u fi e s ( c i a y i a , t as f on l e i o i newspapers were allowed to be published without stainp , , this would be the total sum involved ; and that any loss would be reduced in proportion to the postal charge to which they might be subjected. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer contemplates a more extensive range. Ile disdains to deal with the postal transmis sion of ner,spapers alone, but includes that of all printed matter, called the book post ; and, instead of printed papers passing through the post at a charge of tid. per pound, he proposes tl at they shall be charged at the rate of id. for four ounces, thus converting the post-office into a parcel-post, and inviting an exten sive trade at a rate which will, according to the evidence of Mr. Hill, be unremunerative. Nay, more ; either in ircny, or with that happy departmental independence for which the country has during the last few months been paying so heavily in blood and treasure, a notice has just been issued by the Post-office, announcing that the Colonial Book Postage will, after the Ist of March, be reduced to the Inland rate, so as to double the effect of this new financial arrangement. In justice to the Newspaper Stamp Committee, it must be stated that such a tampering with the revenue was not recom mended by them ; and it might have been thought that the present was not the moment at which to venture upon experiments which cannot be productive, and may be seriously injurious. While the scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is open to these objections on fiscal grounds, it is one which, by the inevitable ld. on each transmission, will relieve local residents at the expense of those who reside at a distance. We do not stay to argue as to the manner in which partial views and local prejudices are moderated and removed by means of the sixty-six millions of newspapers passing an aually through the Post-office. We simply point attention to the fact that the change proposed cannot lessen, but will in many instances increase, the cost of those newspapers which now pass through the Post office to a daily average of more than 200,000 persons. This portion of the population is a class which is speci ally entitled to consideration, and they have a right to e t s h a e m p e e c t u im lia e r in objection of protest lessening againstthe their expenses. api revenue an and which a t h the Are there then no means by' which the Government can avoid the difficulty from which they shrink— namely, the definition of a newspaper ? It seems to us that the remedy is easy. Abolish the newspaper stamp, and let any one publish without stamp or inquisition any news, intelligence, or comment that he desires ; but at the same time give special postal privileges to the proprietors of such defined serial publications as shall choose to register their publication at the Staap-office, and to stamp their whole impression. This mode would effectually solve the pre sent difficulties, 'and might be so arranged as to benefit the public, and at the same time increase the revenue. Litigation would be avoided, for the stamp would be sought as a privilege, aad not evaded as a burden ; and as special postal privileges would be confined to those papers whose whole impression was stamped, the inconvenience, expense, and evasion which are now oc casioned to the Post-office by partially stamped issues, and which will be continued by the plan at present sug gested by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would be altogether got rid of. The only question of importance in such r scheme would be the cost of the stamp. Here the Government should adopt the postal principle, and by a graduating scale remove the present unfairness, which charges as much for the postage of the Globe as fur that of the Times. By a scale of id. for two ounces, and id. for each additional ounce or fractional part of an ounce, all the evening papers would pass for id. ; the ordinary papers for id. Those publications which contain only local informa tion would not need a stamp, and thus would be free. On the other hand, the leading journals both in town and country, which seek and obtain a wider range, would desire to secure to themselves, on terms so advan tageous, a postal privilege, and would stanqp their whole impression. By this means another important public advantage, now about to be sacrificed, would be pre served—namely, that the whole extent of the circulation of any stamped newspaper would be at all times known to the Government. Although personally glad of pub licity, we doubt the fairness or propriety of publishing the stamp returns to vatify an idle curiosity and to affect the interests of the proprietors of newspapers ; butthere cannot be a doubt that it is desirable fur a Government to know the extreme extent of influence possessed by the various organs of the press, in a country where it is so free as here. Take the Times as an instance. It is published in a city whose population is greater than that of any other capital. It is reputed to possess a more extensive circulation throughout the provinces of this kingdom, in its colonies, and on the continent; than any other paper in the world. % More powerful and more widely distributed than any newspaper, what would not bo the estimate if its extreme issue could not be tested by the return ? If, in New York, with about a qualter of the population of London, a circulation of more than 20,000 per day, or in Paris, with half the popula tion of London, a circulation of more than 40,000 per day can be obtained, is it not likely that a fabulous circulation would be ascribed to the Times, if the returns did not ruthlessly show that its sale does ' not equal that of its Parisian contemporary ? This is a consideration which ought not to be lost sight of by our rulers ; for while we contend, most strenuously for all fair and legitimate influence, we shall be sorry to witness the adoption of measures which give greater room for undue importance to the influence of the press, either collectively or individually. The terms of the resolutions are sufficiently vague to allow the Chancellor of the Exchequer in any bill which may be based upon them to meet some of the points before adverted to. There are ether points, such as copyright, which will require careful consideration upon any revision of the newspaperlaws. We postpone, there fore, for the present, any further remarks upon the sub ject. As more than four-fifths of the newspapers issued are reputed to pass annually through the Post-office, the postal question is one in which the public is more inte rested than the proprietors of newspapers ; and, if a new arrangement be now made, the smaller and the larger newspapers ought not to be subjected to the same dis criminating rate. BRITISH OFFICERS FOR VIE TURKISH SERVICE. Military officers who have offered themselves, and have been noted at the war department, for service wit h the Turkish army, or with irregular levies attached to the British army during the present war, are requested to communicate their present addresses to that depart ment without delay.—War Department, Fels, 17, 1855. The foregoing notification•, doubtless applies to the execution of the new military convention just made be• tween the British Government and the Seblime Porte, empowering the former to raise a military force, net exceeding 20,000 men, from amongst the subjects of the Sultan, to be employed in conjunction with the allied armies of the East. Of the convention the Observer of yesterday says :7 " Steps have already been taken, and officers despatched to the Turkish provinces to raise 16,000 men. This force is to be levied, armed, clothed, fed, and paid by England, and entirely under her command. It-will consist of two divisions of infantry, aid a corresponding force of cavalry and artillery, and will probably be employed in Asia at the opening of the campaign. It is not intended to inter fere with the peculiar discipline of so many of this contin gent as shall happen to be Mussulman, who will probably be under the command of regimental officers of their own faith and country. No doubt many foreign officers and, men will be incorporated with this legion, and it is not un likely that many Christian subjects of the Sultan will be found fighting in its ranks. The chief direction, however, will be entrusted to British or foreign officers of experience, selected here for the highest commands. Government are desirous to obtain for this service experienced officers who are not otherwise employed. It is understood that arrange ments are in progress by which officers who have served in the East India Company's service will be enabled to join the corps on better conditions than they were hitherto enabled to obtain. rumours PonrrloN.—On Saturday last, Mr. Lan ham, plumber, was placed for a short time in a position of extreme peril, and from which it is almost miraculous that he escaped without injury. He had been on the top of Emmanuel College, clearing the snow from the gutters, and came down, forgetting his hat on the roof. Before he recollected where he had left it, the fasten ings of twbladders, which had been tied together to en able him to go up, were undone, and, unwilling to take the trouble of re-tying them, he raised the longer of the two, and ascended it. On gaining the uppermost stave, he found he could not reach to the parapet by several inches; but, mounting on the projecting ends of the sides, and making a violent spring, be succeeded in grasping the edge of the wall. Having recovered his hat, he pre pared to descend ; but, when hanging on the edge of the parapet, he was horrified to fi nd that he could nut touch the ladder. He shouted to a man who was holding it below, but who would app ear to have become p aral y sed with terror ; for, without endeavouring to raise the ladder a litte more, by bringing it closer to the wall, he only added to Mr. Longhorn's danger by telling him that his feet wanted several inches of the lad der. After hanging for some minutes in this painful and dangerous position, feeling that he would soon be compelled to let go his hold from his fingers becoming be numbed with the cold, he summed all his energy and let himself down—presenting, as he did so, the utmost pos sible resistance to his 'fall by clinging with desperate tenacity to the wall with the palms of his hands. Most providentially he gai ne d th e ladder, succeeded in steady. ing himself, bridge Oluvnicic. and reached the ground in safety.—Cam. RAILWAY RUBBISEE-BOOKS. Something to Laugh At.

THE MAURITIUS STEAM-SHIP.—SOUTHAIII7ON, Feb. 13. —The fire, which up to a late hour of yesterday con tinued to burn, is iv )w extinguished, having consul - Lel every particle of combustible matter which her hull con tained. The figure-head and bowsprit, together with the greater portion of the cutwater, are very slightly in jured. Yesterday afternoon the graving -dock, iu which she lies, was entirely cleared of water for the purpose of enabling the engineers to ascertain whether the lower portions of the hull were so far damaged as to render the entire remains of the ship totally useless. It is un fortunately the fact that, beyond the actual value of the iron, and that in a considerably damaged state, what is now left is comparatively worthless. Nothing has yet transpired which can at all satisfy the directors and shareholders as to the origin of the fire, but during the greater portion of yesterday a private investigation was being made at the company's offices at this port, the result of which is for the present withheld.

Though the correspondence of the papers of Saturday acquainted the public that a commencement had already been made of the railway works on the intended line from Balaklava to the heights around Sebastopol, yet, as letters have been received from the navvies them selves, and from some others connected with the en gineering expedition, the details so furnished will be read with interest, especially when it is added that the testi mony of several of the writers confirms all that kale been said of the chaotic state of things that prevailed on shore at the time of their arrival, though matters have since seemingly undergone a little improvement. It should be first mentioned, however, that at the date of those advices there had reached Balaklava the under. mentioned vessels, with men and materials, viz.:—Lady Alice Lambton, J an . 28 - Hesperus, Jan. 30 ; and Prince of Wales and the Great Northern, Feb. 2. The Earl of Durham and the Samuel Laing arrived at Con stantinople on the last-mentioned date. The Mohawk, sailing vessel, was passed off Cape Matapan on Jan. 25, beating up under double-reefed topsails. The vessels which had reached Balalilava accomplished the voyage without any casualties, and the whole of the men were lauded in good health and spirits. Arrange ments having been effected for the immediate discharge of the vessels' cargoes,the railway works were commenced at once, and considerable progress had already been made. No difficulties are presented by the nature of the ground, but, owing to the want of horses, the undertaking is ex pected to Occupy a longer time than was at first antici pated. The first mile and a hal ffrom Balaklava is nearly level, the incline being only 1 foot in 60 ; there are then 2 miles of steep incli ne , r i sing 1 foot in 15 for the first half mile, and then 1 foot iu 25 ; but from about the end of this distance to Lord Raglan's quarters the ground is nearly level. The field - marshal and Sir John Burgoyne are said to think favourably of the enterprise, but the greater part of the engineering officers entertain doubts of its utility, or at least evince no very lively faith in its feasibility within a period sufficiently brief to admit of its proving that essential auxiliary to the operations of the siege which its projectors, the Duke of Newcastle and Sir Samuel Morton Pete, .Bart., originally anticipated. Quite different, however, is the opinion of those charged with the realisation of such expectancy. The pnnellasi engineer is full of confidence that if Sebastopol is tO be captured at all, its downfall will be essentially acoele' rated by the railway. In that faith the navvies ply their picks and shovels ; and it is fortunate indeed they took out a good supply of these implements with them, for those on the spot, in use by the ordnance, are miserably scanty and of still more miserable quality, possessing every quality they ought not. The weather had improved, the thermometer standing M 50 ; and if it continues favourable, the progress of the works will no doubt be rapid, as the men had arrived in the highest state of efficiency, and set to at once in high spirits aid with the greatest good will. They seem to have been literally appalled at the unimaginable state of filth, confusion, and universal piggishness that per vaded Balaklava, whether afloat or ashore, and for which they declare not all the descriptions of the press had pre pared them. The first thing they did to prevent their own affairs being engulphed in the general medley was to secure a wharf for the special use of the navvy fleet —an invaluable precaution, and one which permitted something like a system of order and method being created out of the chaos. A fatigue party of soldiers was also obtained to pull down some old buildings to admit of a distinct locale being made for the navvies, respecting whom instructions had been given for the whole of them to be berthed and victualled aboard the vessels they arrived in until huts could be erected for their accommo dation on shore. This arrangement, with the excellent food and warm clothing provided for them, will, it is presumed, keep them in their present healthy and vigorous condition. Not a single case of sickness oc curred among them during the voyage out, nor had any complaint been made of the quality or quantity of the provision,. Mindful, however, of the compliment paid them by Capt. Andrews, on their embarkation at Blackwall, as to the " eyes of Europe being upon them," they have been at 96100 pains to keep themselves conspicuous be. fore the several " nationalities" daring their progress to the East. Thus, at Gibraltar, a party of them achieved the hitherto intpossible exploit of storming the Rock, to the amazement alike of commanders and sentinels, and roamed all over the place, despite of every remon strance, the authorities good-humouredly tolerating eccentricities which a little more license and a little more delay might have converted into serious excise. This ebullition was reproved on board, and it was inti mated that they must not go on shore at Malta, or, if they did, they might do so penniless, for they would be allowed to take no money with there. Nothing dis heartened by this admonition, and the pecuniary deprive tion attending it, they landed, and hit upon a most characteristic expedient for raising the wind. Some dozen of them went about Valetta as perambulating advertisers, proclaiming that at a certain hour a grand display of the noble art of self-defence by real Bri tish pugilists, and for the special benefit of two pro fessors of the same would come off. And come off it accordingly did, amidst a large concourse of spectators, and with sterling results, through the importunities of the navvies, who, hat in hand, solicited not only their own countrymen of the place, but the natives—descends ants mayhap, many of them, of Foulques de Valloret and other knights and grand masters—to contribute to this illustration of the chivalry of Pierce Egan and Tom Cribb. Again, at Constant , nople, they insisted on going ashei e, and when told that they could not go, as the place did not belong to the Queen, they exclaimed that it ought to belong to her, and that it soon should, if they had their way. However, they had not their way there at all events ; and E 0 reached their ultimate destination in quietness. Some grumblings and growlings, more or less up roarious, which they have had amongst each other since their arrival seem to have begot fears among the military authorities that there may be serious disturbances. But those who bnow the idiosyncracy of the navvy think nothing of these little manifestations, and regard occa sional, phlebotomy i n th e manner prescribed in " Boxi ana as one of the luxurie.s essential to the equanimity of the roughs, which they will indulge in, no matter at what alarm to the nerves of disciplinarians, whether rs . black coats or red. There is no doubt they will be a trifle unruly at the outset, but as little that they will go on steadily, however doggedly and unsentimentally, afterwards. Their enterprise has certainly been commenced, all circumstances taken into considera tion, under the most favourable auspices. The great drawbacks at present are the want of horses, and the difficulty of procuring auxiliary labour. The sol diers are described as overworked to a degree altoge• ther incredible to the navvies, looking in their eyes art the very spectres of poor-house paupers at home, the worst feature in the whole case being, according to the letters we are quoting from, the utter apathy and list lessness, the callousness and indifference to their owns life and that of everybody else, which seem to suffuse all classes, owing to the protracted scenes of suffer ing of which Balaklava bas been the theatre. Still, the soldierly esprit de corps and sense of self-respect tower above all mere corporeal miseries. No complaints, no murmurings, amongst the men; but buoyancy and alac rity, as far as nature will probably permit, at the whisper of duty, and readiness and eagerness to grapple with the enemy, ns though all had hitherto been sunshine and hilarity. Terrible, however, as was the condition of their own countrymen in the view of the stalwart navvies, it seems to have been that of sybarites com pared with the sad plight of the Turks, who are rapidly dwindling away under the combined influences of incle ment weather and scarcity of provisions, so that out of .„„ . the 6,000 originally sent out scarcely a tenth part now survive. More navvies will probably be required, and a supply of good horses is also very desirable, and would greatly accelerate the operations. Neither horses nor forage to feed them are to be got in Balaklava, and a supply of hay and corn would have to be sent out for their subsistence. 'When the incline is reached, the want of horses may be remedied, to some extent, by a double tramway, by which a train of empty earth tracks could be pulled by the loaded ones ; but at present, for the purposes of the railway, the great desiderata, as already stated, are horses, and plenty of forage to sus tain them in working condition, and prevent their pe rishing as so many squadrons have already done.-- Morning Chronicle. The Panama Star states it as tolerably positive that the railroad would be opened through to Panama by the end of January. REPRESENTATION Or STIIILINGSEIRE.--Tiarough the death of Mr. Forbes, of Callendar, a gentleman of very high Conservative politics, but of great personal amia bility, the representation in Parliament of this important county has become vacant; and it is said Mr. Blackburn, of Kil learn, best known in connection with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, aspires to the sent.--Scottish Press.

ESCAPE OF CONVICT 3 FROM NEWG.LTIL—On Saturday morning the officials of the gaol of t Newgate were thrown into a state of great perplexity on discovering the escape of three criminals, who, having been cone victed and sentenced, were up to that time serving their probationary term prior to being drafted to their several destinations of transportation or penal servitude. It ap peared that all the prisoners were called over at eight o'clock, and at nine o'clock three men were found to be missing, viz., John Berry, who was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years for passing forged Si. notes ; a man named Brown, convicted and sentenced to four teen years' transportation for a burglary committed in the neighbourhood of and during the late great fire at Shoreditch ; and Spiers, the Bank clerk, who was sen tenced to 15 years' t ran sportation for com m itti ng a for gery on Spooner and Attwoods bank. At the east end of the prison is an open space of ground, abutting upon the yard of an empty house in Warwick-square, and it is supposed that by means of a rope supplied to them from the outside the prisoners were ebled to scale the wall ; and once in the yard they fotend no difficulty in getting in at the window of the first floor of the house in Warwick-square, and thus making their way into the street, their escape being materially assisted by the cir cumstance of their not having on the prison dress. The -usual steps were taken for the detection and apprehen sion of the offenders, but with what success remains bzil be evens "-_ ,~,a5a:.:..c.-T:, .. 100 100 100 100 1418.
