Like Lord LYNDIMAST, in his admirable exposure of Prussia, when We say England we distinguish between the Court. and the people. It is difficult not to sus speet •a Court with which the do-nothing ABERDEEN was The favourite, and difficult not to fear its present influence with a Prime Minister who one( waa reprimanded by the Sovereign whom he nos IterTeS. It is, however, a striking fact that in this land of business men and oper . atives not a public Meeting of any class can be brought together which does not insist on the justice and necessit3 e the War, which does not demand terms humb ling and disenabling to Russia, and which doe: not in many instances assert the necessity of re storing Poland as the eastern barrier of Europe. Commercial men believe their operations to be if , some degree interfered with by the war. Our wotk- Men conceive that it has something to do witl the price of the quartern loaf, and with the de viand for labour ; shopkeepers understand that o' the millions squandered on transports no portipn Oan pass into their tills ; yet everywhere the feel ing is the same—that the objects of the War mus, be attained. The incurable extravagance, anC the defiant, unbusiness-like, and aristocratic ap pointments of the Government are witnessed with inward groans, and yet the groans are far deeper if there is any suspicion of diplomatic weakness and faithlessness. It is in this attitude of calm preparation for sacrifices that England determines to have het way with Russia. The task seems more and more difficult, yet we perceive not a breath of fear or hesitation. The only fear expressed is at of a peace unworthy of our past sacrifices. Vienna is more dreaded than Sebastopol. Th( news from the latter place we can hardly say im roves. We are indeed thankful to read of thc returning health of the troops, of the completed railroad, and consequent saving of heart-sinking toil, of poney-races and dog-hunts as a relaxation from siege duty ; but w also hear of increased itussian activity in advanced earthwork; and of vast supplies of ammunition and reinforcement , of troops arriving. We cannot overlook the fact that if we are in a better position than when we arrived, that of the Russians is fully as much im proved. Looking all this in the face, the deter mination of the country is fixed—Sebastopol must be disarmed. The sentiment of France is, no doubt, stronger than ours on that point. It would seem to be absolutely impossible for the Empero• to leave Sebastopol a maiden fortress. It would be fatal to any Cabinet here ; but then the supreme power is, in fact, the Cabinet ; the nation which elected him the only Parliament, and it would pronounce him unworthy of France if his first military effort were a failure. The domestic consequences of mortifying an (let:ply the Vrench biro of martial glory no one can foresee. trappily it is not a mere sentiment of shame It of military glory which bears on this question, either in France or England. Sebastopol is a convicted Pirate's nest. The perfidy a n d cowar di ce of Sinope has damned, it and its fleet to eternal infamy. But every da y of the siege has made its destiny more and more manifest. Its bound less stores of ammunition could have had but one object. It was a naval and military depot against agaoiuusstatall Asia Minor, and especially against c the Euxine, all the coasts of Suppose Russia once master of that capital, th e shores of the Bosphorus strongly fortified, and this vast arsenal behind it, and not only would the Black Sea be indeed a Russian lake, but al the East, and Italy, and eventually - farther we 3 too, would come completely under her dominan influence. It will be fatuity indeed if Lard JOHN and our Cabinet c:nisent to leave a gun or a ship of the lino in Sebastopol. IL nus ho —gibbeted--as a warning to all Ras p)aterity. Nor that alone : Nicolaieff must share its fate, and every roLber fortress on the Enxine must be also surrendered. Russia 111:13t have nothing in the Black Sea but protection for her trade. She must be cured once for all of her conquering pro pensities there. We confess to some misgiving 3 re3pecting our tepresentative at Vienna. He has ever been a ready tool of the COBURGS, and well we know what they want. Lord JOHN wants the grand essential of the hour—greatness of mind. Nicho las far surpassed him in conceptions worthy of a statesman. Lord JOHN is so habituated to the life-long compromise of a Whig senator that he cannot easily rise above political bargaining. His not wishing to diminish the territories of Russia is as fatal to his reputation as a foreign statesman as his finality folly to his character as a liberal politician. We have no doubt whatever that were Lord JOHN Russ= known to be a hopeless subject for the manipulations of Russian cunning, were it known that his terms were, the coasts of the Black Sea as well as Sebastopol dismantled ; and if that be not conceded, Poland to be re stored—that Russia would grasp at the alterna tive which she now professes to reject as an in dignity. We fear Lord JOHN'S character and views are just what will embolden Russia to ask what she would have known to be hopeless from 9. PITT or a CANNING. We do not wonder that our aristocracy feel ashamed of what they have now to do. They have smiled on or tolerated the villanies of Russia so long—they have so helped to nurse the vanity and ambition of the late CZAR through all his atrocities and treacheries, that they must feel rather awkwardly in having to curtail Russian power and influence. It must, however, be done, at a reasonable cost now, or at a tremendous one ere many years are past. Consideration for Rus sia bas been the bane of this whole struggle. She is a purely barbarian power, with no claim to influence or respect but that of vast size and brute force, and she cannot appreciate consideration. She repaid permission to pass the Pruth by into lerable barbarities in the provinces ; and the sparing of Odessa by firing on the stranded Tiger. In like manner she would repay the toleration of a battery at Sebastopol by increasing it again gra dually and insidiously to its present strength, and the sparing of the dockyards of Nicolaieff by build ng fresh ninety-gun ships for another Sinope. Let our Cabinet take care how they consent to Coburg and Austrian terms of peace on behalf of the English people. IThe ulterior consequence, we all know, of the I celebrated Act 16 . and 17 VICT., c. 99, has been the virtual abolition of the punishment of trans portation. Its immediate result has been the detention amongst us of an increasing multitude of criminals, who would otherwise have been con• veyed away in ship-loads to Van Diemen's Land and Western Australia. We have, therefore, by relieving our colonies from a very undeserved in fliction, multiplied rather considerably our own difficulties, anxieties, and responsibilities. All this has been simultaneously a national act of ustice, and a national act of magnanimity. It will, we doubt not for a single instant, be regarded by the future annalist of Great Britain as au event demanding the most earnest, if not the most eulogistic, celebration. Whatever evils may devolve upon ourselves from the remarkable change upon which we have thus daringly, and even let us say generously, adventured, must be aceepted in expiation of the wrong hitherto in r dieted by us, during an interval of years so pro tracted and deplorable, upon our remote and un )ffending possessions. Conspicuous among the inflictions requiring in this manner to be endured for a while as courageously and uncomplainingly is may be well practicable under existing circum stances, is the exceedingly apparent one already adverted to, namely, the enormous increase iu the number of felons in the United Kingdom tunually undergoing the penalties of incarceration. It is so far satisfactory, at any rate, to know that the energy of our authorities steadily continues to i:eep pace with the numerical enhancement of ,heir responsibilities. Under their vigorous and intiring manageinent of the principal Convict Prisons, and of the subordinate penal establish ments throughout the country, no difficulty has yet been experienced in the way of providing for au- prisoners, male and female, adult and juve ill; an adequate amount of accommodation. Pro vision has in this respect been carefully secured oeforehand, insomuch that every exigency has been hitherto effectually anticipated. In testi mony of this—take the most recent and sufficient illustration. During the year 1853 the total number of ;onvicts having to be provided for, somehow or )then, within the twelvemonths, amounted to 9,227 altogether. While accommodation for 9,408 prisoners must be recognised as having seen forthwith placed betimes at the disposal of Government by the provident and energetic Board )f Directors over whom Colonel JEan has so long smd successfully presided in his twofold capacity Is Chairman, and Surveyor-General of the Prisons )f England. How it was that this terrible multi tude of criminals (9,227) became distributed—in what proportions and for what reasons they were listributed—whither and under what circum dances they were distributed—we have recently taken occasion to explain in these columns with ;ome degree of particularity. A gigantic change 'las since then taken place by reason of a compre hensive modification of our entire system of cri minal jurisprudence. It has been decided by the Legislature that recourse must no longer be had to the old., worn-out, exploded, obsolete plan of wholesale - transportation. Exactly 700 out of the 9,227 before mentioned were shipped from these Naiads to our distant colonies during the year 853 : 100 by the Sibella to Gibraltar ; 600— namely, 296 by the Pyrenees, and 304 by the iea Mark—to Western Australia. This convenient, but at the same time unjust and blundering sys tem, we repeat, has since then been abolished ; the notable enactment, 16 and 17 VICT., c. 99, 'aving virtually done away with punishment by transportation. The convict population of the Unitcd_Kingdum must hcaocfor4ll be provided for within the limits of the United Kingdom. Accom modation consequently must be found, not as in 1853, for 7,760 prisoners out of the aggregate, for the year of 9,227, but for 9,227 as a mini mum ! Whether it has been so arranged we have shown by the simple but adequate statement— that already by the 31st of March, 1854, provi sion for no less than 9,408 criminals had been placed by the Board of Directors at the disposal of her MAJESTY'S Governmeat. The ac:;enarn la tion so secured was, as a matter of C3tlr33, of various descriptions. It included provisions in t ( i r k e is nt w e a d y for 620 juveniles, at Parkh u r s t ; f or 700 f emales at Bri x t on ; f or 1 , 048 i n th e invalid i °pots ; f or 2,950 in separate cells, whether in 3,3Altda,bWlish4knaeenneltcsl' ) e ° lll tY - or borough as at Bath or in th e no bl e G e y er /mint at Millbank awl Pentonville ; beyond t 3, for as many as 4,090 in the p saa:%.ldl this, for public werks—vii., 450 on bearci the Warrior, 526 on beard the D3feuce, 572 (for the able-bodied) at Dartmoor, 1,020 at Po? tsmoath in connection with the )ckyard, anil 1,520 at -eortland in connection with the Ord: lance and the Breakwater. It must be manifest f rom these brief and comprehensible statistics-3* atistics carrying MI no further than up to the . 1 5;1st ,of March, 1854, that is to say, nearly a year from the present period—that the tamest d esirable energy and activity, judgment, and forethought, have been manifested by the intelligent body of administrators entrusted with the responsible office of caring for the proper management, discipline, and distribution of our formidable army of felons—our vast Mad increas ing criminal population. The real extent, the relative value, the actual importance of this timely display of energy, activity, judgment, and fore thought by the distinguished Surveyor-General of Prisons, and his not unworthy collaborateurs, can alone be understood after a careful considera tion in detail of what we have here been enabled only to speak of in generality. It may then be recognised how much a wholesome routine, guided by an active patriotism, may contrive to effect in the way at once of rapid improvement and of systematic and symmetrical organisaticn. Would to HEA.TEN the example thus shown by the officials entrusted with the discipline and management of our Convict Prisons had been emulated, in some measure at least, by other departments in our *lmplicated scheme of Administration ! However invidious it may seem to specify any Department particularly, let us say, for example, by that of the Commissariat MIEN THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN IN O, MARCH 24, 1855. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert left Osborne at two o'clock yesterday afternoon for London, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and the Prince of Leininger. The ladies and gentlemen in waiting were Lady Churchill, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General Bouverie, Captain Du Plat, the Master of the Household, and Mr. Gibbs. Her Majesty and the Prince crossed from Cowes in the Fairy royal steam-yacht to Gosport, travelled by a special train on the South-Western Railway, and pro ceeded from the private station at Vauxhall with the royal suite in six of the Queen's carriages, escorted by a party of Carbineers, to Buckingham Palace, where the royal party arrived at ten minutes before six o'clock, and were received by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Listowel, Viscount Torrington, Lord Alfred Paget, Sir Fred. Stovin, and Major• General Wylde. The Earl of Clarendon had an audience of her Majesty. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, honoured the Princess's Theatre with their presence in the evening. The royal suite consisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon. Lucy Kerr, the Earl of Listowel, Major-General Bouverie, and Captain Du Plat. Ensign Roderick M. Campbell was presented, at the Queen's Levee on March 14, by the Hon. Fred. Vil liers, on his appointment to the 4th Royal Elthorne Militia. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended hy Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, arrived at her residence, Clarence•house, St. James's, on Thursday, from Frogmore. PRESENTS TO THE ALLIED ARMIES IN THE CRIMEA. In the month of January last Mr. Minton, of Wind sor, butcher to her Majesty, forwarded three remark ably fine rounds of beef to the seat of war in the East, directed respectively to Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and Gener Canrobert. The beef was skilfully cured, and packed in air-tight tubs, so that its quality and flavour might be preserved for several months. Mr. Minton wrote to each of the illustrious personages to whom the tubs were consigned, begging their acceptance of his characteristic gifts, and informing them that the beef had been cut from prime Scotch oxen, fed on the Royal farms at Windsor occupied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Yesterday's post brqught the following acknowledgment from Lord Raglan : "Before Sebastopol, March 5. " Major Kingston is desired by Lord Raglan to acknow ledge the ~ receipt of Mr. Mitten's letter, of January the 3d, and also of the round of beef, which arrived only two days ago. Lord Raglan desires to express his grateful ac knowledgments of so acceptable a present, which he values the more highly on account of the kind sympathies and noble sentiments which accompanied it ; such expressions from those at home being most welcome to' any one serv ing and fighting for their country." It will hi seen by the dates that the small tubs of beef were floating in the harbour of Balaklays, or stranded in the morass which, unfortunately, separated that port from the English camp for several weeks. In the meantime his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was invalided and on his way to this country. The letter, however, bad been received, and called forth the following reply from his Royal Highness : " St. James's, Feb. 22. " am deAired by the Doke of Cambridge to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 241 of Jannary, whi::11 has been this they received, and to express to you his Royal Highness's b3st thanks for the round of beef which you bad the kindness to send to the Crimea, where such good things are most acceptable ; and his R)yal Highness also desires me to thank you for the kind wishes expressed in your letter. "I gaye the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant. " CHAS. TYRWHITT, Licut -Colonel, Equerry." The beef was desp , tched through the a-2,eacy of the matiagers of the Crimean Army Fund. From General Cetnrobert, the commander-in-chief of the French army, no reply has yet been received. RIOTS IN STAFFORDSHIRE. 'WOLVERHAMPTON, FRIDA.Y EVENING. The colliers of this neighbourhood, who are under notice of a reduction of wages, have been visited by col liers from the Potteries, who have received similar notices, and, instigated by the latter, the colliers of Bilston and the locality have today been committing serious depredations, in one or more instances pillaging shops, and, is several, forcibly preventing those colliers from continuing their work who were desirous of retaining their employment at the new rates of wages. Mobs, numbering between 3,000 and 5,000, assembled in BB ston and the roads near that town, causing the utmost alarm to the inhabitants, where, from about noon, the shops have been closed and business entirely suspended. The police in endeavouring to disperse them were attacked and one member of the furce received serious injuries. The constables ohareed with their sabres, and after drawing blood the mob fled ; only however for a time, as now (3 o'clock) their threats have increased the alarm of the inhabit'mnts. Troops have been sent for. A tele graphic message has just been received from Colonel S!ade, of the Essex Rifles, that 100 of his men will leave Weedon for Bilstou forthwith. The police perambulate the streets with drawn cutlasses, and several arrests have been made. For the protection of this town, where also the shops have been partially closed, the Wolverhamp ton troop of Yeomanry and a body of enrolled pen sioners have been called up by the Mayor. _ _ - 9 o'CLocir. Several hundred colliers have just left this town with the avowed determination of forcibly liberating their brethren who have been arrested. • BILSTON, MARCH 23. Yesterday and to-day there has been some rioting at Bilston. The colliers this morning, after visiting seve ral pits in the neighbourhood and compelling the men to leave their work, assembled in Oxford-street to the number of 2,000 or 3,000, armed with pick handles, and took provisions from the shops. They attacked the shop of Mr. Kendrick and wounded Mr. Kendrick's son. The police wore hemmed in by the mob, and one police officer named Devonport was injured by a stone. Mr. Gettings, ironfounder, and his son, who werte passing down the street in a gig, were attacked because they re lased to give money. The son was struck by the mob and was much hurt. In another part of the street a police-officer took refuge in the shop of Mr. Crernsmini, furniture dealer. The mob at once surrounded the house, and they seemed about to make an attack upon it, when they were charged by a body of 30 police-con st tbles and the officer rescued. The street was soon cleared. Six of the rioters, named Josiah Fereday, Henry Everall, William CArnrains, Richard M`Cann, Mich gel Doon, and John Welsh, were this afternoon brought up at the petty sessions charged with rioting, and all except Welsh were committed • for trial at the as - Azes. The military have been sent for. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Spetb, and Sir George Couper, arrived at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, on Thursday, from Frogmore. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, will arrive in town this morning from Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray.

A decree in the Moniteur announces that the Session of the Legislative Corps, which was to have closed on the 25th inst., will not close till the 11th of April. Thirty-two members of the Council of Public Instruction will be nominated for the year 1855. VIENNA, MARCH 23. The Conferences aie progressing favourably. The second point was either settled to-day or ivill be to-morrow. It must be repeated that the question of peace or war is not decided until the third point is settled. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 22. The Volksthing has refused the second reading of a bill to cover the sum of 58,000 dollars spent last year without authority by the Minister of War and Marine. The session closes on the 31st. The representatives of Prussia, Wurtemberg, Baden, the two Hesses, Holstein Lauenburg, Nassau, Mecklenburg and Oldenburg, Anhault Coethen, Schwarzburg, Rudolstadt, Reuss (younger branch), Liechtenstein, Bremen, and Frankfort, have reported to the Diet that their contingents are on the war footing. SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. (Prom the Second Edition of the Times of this day. ) WENNESDAY, MARCH 7. About 100 sick were sent down to Balaklava to day. The medical service has sustained a great loss in the death of Dr. Chilley Pine, for many years in the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, and lately acting as Principal Medic2.l Officer of the 2d Division. His death took place last night at the residence of Dr. Anderson, in Bala,klava, and was mainly owing to disease contracted on service in the East Indies, aided by low fever. Dr. Fenwick, a much loved officer of the 14th Regiment, also died of fever, to the great regret of all the officers and men. There is nothing to report concerning the siev. THURSDAY, March 8. Dr. Pine's remains were this day interred at Balaklava. The whole of the 4th Dragoon Guards, officers and men, headed by Colonel Hodge, followed his body to the grave, and a number of officers paid his memory the same sad token of respect and esteem. He was a most independent, able, and active officer, and his loss will be severely felt. Having nothing else to do today I rode over to Kamiesh, in company with some officers of the cavalry, in order to see what the French were doing. The day was worthy of our most genial summer, and our " leafy month of June" would have been delighted to have numbered it among her children. Between ICaranyi, from which we started, and Kamiesh there is a wide expanse of undulating stony brown steppe, intersected by deep ravines or by valleys rejoicing in watercourses and patches of green grass. All these watercourses were lined by red breeches - belonging to unencumbered Frenchmen, intent on washing themselves or their clothes. Why on earth do they keep their camp so dirty T " Bono Inglis," however, is the cry of these active little washermen, as one passes, and one must not be inquisitive and critical. By and by a great herd of hungry little cows comes in sight with red-breeched drovers poking them on with an unpleasant vis a tergo from a bayonet point. They have just been landed, and as one passes on we see the ground dotted by the dead bodies, or the expiring corpses of the beasts which cannot keep up with the march. Red-breeched butchers are running about among them anxiously looking out for the smallest pretence for saying they killed one of the beasts, and thus so far rendering its remains -eatable. Platy of carcases were lying skinned near a stone enclosure, which served as the head quarters of -the butchers, and were very nasty to look at anti to smell, and judging from the e l , pearance of the cattle, they must have been equally disagreeable to another sense. Then we crossed flocks of sheep, which would have excited the in dignation of ,the poorest tup in Scotland—and at last got into Kamiesh. It is a mere meagre beach of mud, but the sun has 1 aked the mud hard, and the French have erected on it streets of wooden houses, all numbered the odd num be:s on one side, the even on the other—after the home fashion. Even the tents and sutlers' stalls are numbered, and one reads on the street corners the words "Rue Napoleon," " Rue de L)urmel," "Roe Besquet," &c., aed sees all kinds of bureaux of all sorts of authorities. There is a , good deal of drunkenness among the soldiery. Just as we enter, law and order, in the perso n o f a gen darme, is down on the ground, under a military despot iu the shape of Private Francois Something or other, of the —th of the Line, who, greatly to the approbation of his brother soldiers, and to the edifice tion of two mounted officers, who look on and smoke, is trying to garrote the representative of antiquated civilisation. But law and order, who has his sword drawn, is triumphant owing to a charge of gend.sartnie, who carry off military despotism to the guard-house. Then comes another row :-11, gentleman, armed with a bottle, is intent on break ing his friend's head with it for some reason un known, and the crowd around are very much in terested in the thing, which would have doubtless come off only for those horrid gensdarmeri© again. "'Pon my word," said an Irish officer of the party " do you know how this put me quite in mind of old times in Donnybrook Fair I" he sighed despond ingly. Everything is to be had at Kamiesh, from a cut head to a watch-glass, but all is regulated—en regle. We were hungry, and went to our restaurant. , To our horror we were told we could get nothing to eat without an order from the gensdarmerie. This seemed very absurd, and looked still more ridiculous when the representative of that respectable force presented himself before us in a state which proved he did not require any leave to indulge in copious j drinking. Alsatian French not being generally in ' teliigible when spoken thickly and with hiccups, we retired to a trader's shop, who, in consideration of his daring to break the police laws and of our being English, charged us about 100 per cent. on some cheese and claret ; then we got a loaf at the baker's, and, seating ourselves on the wall outside the cavalry picket-house, made an excel lent meal in defiance of the authorities. We sub seqaently ascertained that it is a police regulation (mud it seemed very much needed) that nothing shall be sold to eat or drink after half-past 3 o'clock in the day, and we had arrived just after that hour. Tire harbour is greatly crowded, but the ships are regularly moored. On the whole, however, except in the internal arrangement and police of the place, it did not seem better managed than Balaklava. A tariff is fixed up in the shops for all necessaries— luxuries are matters of bargain. The French and English fleets, with blended ensigns, lie in the twe bays peacefully together. The bustle, gaiety, and commerce of the place would make it difficult for one to realise the fact that a siege was going ; on close at hand, only that all the merchants wore j swords, bayonets, and red breeches, and that the echoes of the guns boomed over the hills from the French tren c h s frequently within each hour. The water of the harbour is dirty, and the wells are brackish. FRIDAY, MARCH 9. There was a brisk firing last night. Nothing of consequence occurred that I can ascertain. A wing Division. 14th Regiment is ordered up to join the Third Division. The Lion arrived from Sinope with ve getables and cattle. The Redan is firing heavily, but unsuccessfully, on our new battery. (Prom a Second Edition of the Morning lierald.) CAINIP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, MARCH 10. The great topic cf conversation now is, of course, the death of the Emperor Nicholas. It was on the Tth the news arrived at head-quarters by elec , trio telegraph despatch, from Lord John Russell to Lori Raglan, dated from Vienna, that the Empe ror h , ..e:tthed his last on the 2d of this mouth. Lord Raglan sent in a flag of truce by Lord Burglotrsit with the information, to which the Ituf;siats refused to give credit. Nothing fresh of any consequence has happened since the last to:Eil lea. Tue firing has been very slack cu both sides. On Tuesday morning we opened a ba.ttery4ith red-bot shot on a steamer, and +hove her from a position most annoying to :some of our works. It was expected that the Russians would have attacked the battery in force, as their steamer was in a capital position to annoy us. However, they were satisfied with re moving the ship from her position. The health and spirits of both men and officers are daily im- Troving. The weather is delightful ; occasionally a 'cold damp day is experienced, but with this mop. ' tion it is beautiful spring weather. The men are also re-assuming their military appearance. The sheep-skin coats have been cast off, and in some regiments new clothing has been issued. The Guards look remarkably well, as well as if on guard at Buckingham Palace. Scurvy is diminishing rapidly. Most regiments have potatoes or some other description of vegetables issued twice a week. We hear now of races and appointments for dog hunts. The railway is making rapid strides, and is already of great use in carrying provisions and am munition part of the way to the front. The navvies, taking all things into consideration, behave re markably well. It is quite a treat to look at their magnificent dray horses; the contrast to the miser able cattle we have been used to during the past four months is very great. The convalescent hos pital on the hill facing the sea has now 70 patients in it, and more huts are being erected. The general hospital continues crowded. Dr. Pine, the Principal Medical Officer of the 2d Division, was buried yesterday. He was followed to the grave by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 4th Diagoou Guards, in which re giment he served for seven years. Fenwick, the assistant-surgeon of the 14th, who died a few days ago, was buried ou Sunday ; lie was much lamented by every ono in the regiment. The low fever which has been so prevalent lately has been very fatal. Several medical officers have fallen victims to it. Huts are being erected now, both at Balaklava and at the front, which hitherto very distant region seems lately to have diminished its distance by some miles. The Light Division has now ten regiments, and they are all very effective regiments ; only one I believe has less than 500 men. The Naval Brigade, as usual, is in a very healthy and effective condition. Jack shows that he has not lived entirely on requisitions all the winter, but that he has added something more sub stantial. . The Tonning arrived yesterday with cattle. It is giving them brevet rank to call them cattle. seeing this commanded a charge against them, and he himself at the head charged with his accustomed. courage ; but he was only followed by the Bashi- Bazouks ; the Tartars, with few exceptions, re mained stationary, while the Rediffs, after having followed for a while, and lost a few men through the fire of the enemy, turned back and ran. Now the Cossacks charged and drove back Rediffs, Tartars, and all. Iskender Bey, who was'only followed by two Bashi-Bazouks, had to.cut his way back through the enemy, which he effected, but not without re ceiving a sabre cut over the forehead, which pene trated tile skull, a lance thrust which glanced of from his breast, and a cut over the hand which broke two of his fingers. Four Bashi-Bazouks, six Rediffs, and one Tartar are lost. About 2,300 yards from the mounds where the charge took place the Turkish Cavalry at last stood and formed. Iskender Bay, notwithstanding his wounds, which were copiously bleeding, wanted to remain and return to the charge, and when he was with great difficulty persuaded to go back to the town, Sefer Pasha (General Koscelsrky), a Polish officer took the temporary command. As yet there was time to repair the loss, as one of the squadrons which it had sent out to the right was quite close. while the other would have checked the squadron of Russian Lancers by making a movement forward and threatening their flank. Thus reinforced the Turks would have succeeded to retake their fallen comrades and perhaps even some of the dismounted and wounded Cossacks, without having had any thing to fear from the lancers to the right. Their imaginations were over excited, they saw in every stone a legion of Russians, so after much riding to and fro the command'was given to retreat en echelon, which was also executed without any molestation from the part of the enemy. When I saw Radiffs, Bashi-Bazouks, and Tartars running before the Cossack; I could not help re membering the saying of Napoleon, that the only thing which distinguishes the man of genius from a madman is to be able to distinguish between difficulties and impossiblities. There were the" poor Tartars with their formida ble infantry muskets and with sabres which they never had perhaps in their hands before ; there was a handful of daring Bashi-Bazouks, inimitable in skirmishing, but by nature I think incapable of forming a regular line of battle ; and there were lastly the Redifs, good old papas, who perhaps for the last 10 years never sat on horseback. How could it be expected they should charge a well mounted, well-armed, and well-disciplined enemy, scarcely inferior in force. It would have been a wonder on the contrary if they had not run. Yet both the Bashi-Bazouks and Tartars, if pro perly employed, could be of great service to the regular cavalry as skirmishers and elcaireurs, but it seems to me a considerable mistake that of all other troops cavalry Rediffs should have been brought over to the Crimea, while so many good effective cavalry regiments remained behind. They aee useless as regular and as irregular cavalry, being neither able to act independently nor to act as a body. . The harbour is, still very crowded, but greatly improved. Wharves are being erected for the land ing of stores ; the dirty lazar houses recently occu pied by the Turks have all been removed. The few Turks remaining have been removed to some hos pital huts at some distance from the town. These huts are kept very clean, and great care seems to be taken of the patien ts. The fortifications on the heights are being greatly improved and strengthened. Seve ral 32-pound howitzers have been substituted for the 12-pound howitzers originally placed there. Twelve deserters came over on Wednesday. lam not aware that they gave any important informa tion. The Highflyer sails to day for Odessa. There is no news from the fleet. MARCH 11. There was heavy firing all night, and innumer able rockets were sent into the town by our active allies. It was a most beautiful sight to witness the flight of these missiles, some of which, not withstanding the calmness of the night, were very erratic in their course. A heavy fire has been kept up this afternoon from the Redan, apparently on one of the new redoubts we and the French have lately erected iu front of the Second Division. The fire on the steamer from our battery on Tuesday morning last was anything but efficient. Red-shot was used, and lam credibly informed that out of 60 rounds fired only seven struck her. Another account says that two only hit her ; at all events all parties say that the practice was bad in the extreme. MARCH 6. This morning Colonel Symmons went down to ,Kamiesch. Eupatoria begins inside as well as outside to assume the character of a fortress. After nightfall patrols are traversing the streets in every direc tion, and no one is allowed to pass without the parole. At the same time stricter regulations have been introduced about going out of the town. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople of the Bth says : " The news of the death of the Emperor Nicholas first reached this city in the night of the 7th. The Porte received the intelligence by a Turkish Major, who heard it at Rustehuk, to which place it had come from Bucharest and Vienna; he brought it in two days to Constantinople, and for such ex traordinary rapidity received the decoration of the Nichan, and was advanced to a higher rank in the army. THE TURKISH EXI EDITION IN THE CRIMEA. (Peon' a Second Edition of the Times of thia day.) EUPATORIA, MARCH 3. The last few days have passed entirely without incidents, if one does not reckon the daily military promenades among the number of them. Up to the time of the last attack it was the Russians who seemed to be bent on this harmless amusement ; since then the Turks appear to have acquired this taste from their enemies. They are as regular as clockwork—one in the morning and another in the evening, and always at the same hour. I have lately seen three of them, and the impression which they made upon me was as if the Turks were trying to invent a pattern of a military re connaissance, or rather as if they had already in vented it, and were so convinced of its excellence that they knew nothing better but to repeat it over and over again, like the Indians their shawl pattern. _ _ From the Crimea we learn that the works of the allies were going on rapidly, but that the Russians were equally active i ll constructing addi tional defences. The English. railway was com pletely terminated, and it is said that the French are negotiating with the contractors for continuing it as far as Kamiesh, which would imply an idea of a longer occupation of the country than has been hitherto imagined. The French army is all on the qui vive, ockiug out for the arrival of the Emperor, the report of which event was received by all ranks with the greatest enthusiasm. - They begin by going out always at the same door, make a plant, march to the first mound where the Russian vidottes are ; these latter, when they see them approachi ng , moun t leisurely and retire quietly behind the mound towards their reserves, which having perceived already half an hour before, the Turks come up and form while the vidottcs arc retiring. The Turkish cavalry rides up in a gallop to the mound, bah parties look at each other, and their evolutions begin in the style of the fight bet Ween Viola and Sir Andrew Ague cheek. When one party advances the other retires, and vice verse. The Russians deploy in lines, form in pelatons, throw out skirmishers, while the Turks and Tartars nytke flank movements and all kinds of unintelligible evolutions. All this goes on at the respectful odistanco of from 300 to an incal culable number of yards, which does not impede both parties from discharging their carbines and pistols. RUSSIA. NESSELRODE'S MANIFESTO. We have received, from Vienna, Count Nessel rode's note to the Ministers of Russia at foreign 0 _MI tti. It professes to be a manifesto to Europe of the intentions entertained by the new Emperor, and is the first official paper which has appeared on the subject. The following is a translation : " ST. PETERSBURG, MARCH 10. "My despateh, of the 2d inst., w;11 you of the accession of his Majesty the Emperor Alex ander 11. I also, at the same time, had the honour of sending you the manifesto of our illustrious Sovereign ; issued on the first day of his reign. "This document expresses his Majesty's profound sense of the importance of the duties which he is called to fulfil. Those duties have been imposed on him by Divine Providence in the midst of severe. trials. As cendinc, the throne of his ancestors he beholds Russia involved in a war, the like of which occurring in a new reign history cannot produce. " Our illustrimis Sovereign accepts these trials, trust ing in God, confiding securely in the unwavering de votedness of his people, and filled with religious reverence for the memory of his much-loved father. . _ The two commanders salute each other, and then the Turks go toward the second mound, where the whole thing begins over again. The other day, during one of these evolutions, a characteristic in cident occurred. A Polish officer who had served in the Russian army, and who well knows the Russian soldier, rode in front of the Turkish cavalry, and, in true Homeric style, challenged the Russian cavalry to come on. The' answer was a torrent of abuse from one of the skirmishers in advance of the Russian line. The officer, adopt ing the Russian style of command, replied by an energetic exclamation, saying, "You —, is that the way you dare to speak to an officer," on which the Russian soldier, fn the most humble manner, answered, "Beg your pardon, Sir, I did not know you were en officer. This scene, so characteristic of Russian discipline, reminds me of similar ones which occurred during the Po isle re volution of 1831. Thus several times when the Russians we re charging the Polish cavalry, the commanders of the latter had the presence of mind to exclaim the Russian words of command, "Stoy, nalvoraget, march" (halt, right about, march), which were mechanically obeyed by the Russian cavalry. The activity on the landing-piers is greater than ever, through the arrival of soven steamers and nine sailing vessels, charged mostly with cavalry and artillery. Now that the vessels and the Turkish authorities—thanks to Mascher Pasha's (Sir G. Lakeman) exertions—have got into the way of it, the embarkation of the cavalry at Seropolis is pro ceeding rapidly. Thus the Thames went from hero to Burgas, was loaded with horses, and returned again to this place in four days and a half. A stage is constructed at Seropolis, from which the horses can be walked into the barges, while the steamers themselves are only at one cable's length from the stave. The Thames remained only six hours, and took in 190 horses. " In a childlike spirit of piety he accepts as his heri tage two obligations, which, in his eyes, are equally sacred. The first demands from his Majesty the employ. ment of all the power which the will of God bas placed in his bands for the defence of the integrity and honour of Russia. The second imposes on his Majesty of steadily devoting his care to the completion of that work of peace, the bases of which were sanctioned by the Em peror Necholas. " Faithful to the idea' which predominated in the last dispos►tions and arrangements of his illustrious father, the Emperor has renewed and confirmed the instructions with which the Plenipotentiary of Russia had been pro vided from December until the time when the Vienna Conferences were to have been opened. In this way the intentions of the Emperor Nicholas are certain to be fulfilled. Their aim was— "To restore to Russia and Europe the blessings of peace. • "To confirm the freedom of worship and the welfare of the Christian peoples of the East, without distinction of rite. " To place the immunities of the Principalitiel under a collective guarantee. " To secure the tree navigation of the Danube in fa. •our of the trade of all nations. " To put an end to the rivalries of the Great Powers respecting the East in such manner as to preclude the return of new complications. " Finally, to come to an understanding with the Great Powers respecting the revision of the treaties by which they have recognised the principle of closing the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and in this way to ar rive at an honourable settlement. "A peace concluded upon such a basis as this, since it would terminate the calamities of war, would call forth the blessings of all nations upon the new Govern ment. Russia, however, feels deeply, and all Europe must acknowledge the fact that the hope of a restoration of peace would prove vain, if the conditions of an ad justment should overpass that just limit which a sense of the dignity of the Crown led our august Lord to fix ir rovocablY. Colonel Lc Dieu, the French Commissioner, has been recalled by his Government. We do not yet know who is to be his successor. MARCH 5. To-day it was decided that a reconnaissance on a little larger scale should be undertaken. Accord ingly three squadrons of regular cavalry, two of them of the 2d Regiment of Roumeli, called Hadji Alay, because it was made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and the third a squadron of R,edirs of the 2d Regi ment of Guards, about 30 Bashi-Bazouks, and 150 mounted Tartars, went out under the command of Iskender Bey. _ "The Emperor will wait tranquilly until the cabinets called to deliberate in common with Russia on this ques• tion of universe' interest for all a)ristendom shall de clare the views by which their policy will ba guided. "Our august Lord will enter upon these important deliberations in a sincere spirit of concord ; this is the declaration .which I am expressly commissioned by his Majesty to make to you in his name. "Toe general instructions with which you are pro vided prescribe to you the course which you are to continue to follow in your intercourse with the govern ments to which you are accredited. The Emperor, in confirming you in the post to which you were appointed by the grace of his illustrious father, _relies implicitly on your fidelity and zeal. It is his desire that on all occa sions your conduct and language should bear witness to the loyalty with which Russia regards obligations in volving fidelity to treaties ; to its constant desire to live on good terms with all allied and friendly Powers ; and, finally, to its reverence for the inviolability of the rights of every state, as well as its firm resolve to maintain in tact and make respected those rights which Divine Pro vidence has entrusted to the Emperor in making him the protector of the hon )ur of the nation. " You are instructed to bring this to the knowledge of the Court at which you hal the honour to represent the Emperor Nicholas of gloriou4 and. much-loved memory, "NESSELRODII." The Russian videttes occupy a number of mounds running nearly parallel with those occupied by the Turkish videttes. The first to our left is close to the bridge which leads over a creek running inland from the putrid- lake Sasik, while about the centre of the whole line are two other mounds not far from each other, one of which has the appearance as if it had been opened. These three mounds are the scene of the daily excursions. Beyond them the Russian line of videttes falls back towards the little lake to the north of the town, on whose shore the white ruins of the Ta r t ar v ill age Meskow .may be distinctly seek. For the support of the Russian vi dottes there was a squadron of Lancers hid in a hollow near the bridge to the right, two sotnias of Cossacks towards the centre on which the videttes retired when they saw the Turks coming, and be sides this a squadron of Hussara on white horses appeared sometimes towards the let% From the FRANCE. dailf excursion's of the Turkish Cavalry these forces as well as their respecti ve p os iti ons , were t o l era bly PARIS, FRIDAY NIGH T . known.
