It is. therefore, no matter of cut ',rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu'ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of tho urethra."—Medice I Circular.

SEBASTOPOL IS FALLEN. Such an expression escaped the lips of a gentleman rather in clined to "Take time by the forelock," and anticipate probable re sults. Some good arguments arc founded on analogy, and those who count on consequenc e s from a comparison of causes are sure to ly right. However, we can help this gentleman in his anticipation by referring to the success of E. Mossy and SON'S Business, which has gained a complete victory by the entire destruction of the fortresses of monopoly.

The superior adv ittages of screw propulsion being fulls . de monstrated by its general adoption for toe public service and for the commercial operations of almost all maritime nations, a favourable time appears to have arrived for inducing a public recognition of the merit of its introduction. • Convinced that screw navigation—whoever may he regarded as its original inventor—must date its real commencement from the successful Weis and voyage; of the " Archimedes" in 1839 and 1840 ; and feeling that all naval nations arc indebted to the performances of that ship, for the first practical development of this great impaive ment Ia the means of maritime enterprise; the following gentlemen, personally cognisant of the facts connected with the progress of the system, are strongly impressed with the justice of the claims of Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, to m ho'e talents and untiring energy it is well known the " Archimedes" owed both her origin and success. They can also hear record to the steady perseverance with which that gentleman has continued to devote the bag years of his life to the purpose of establishing the merits of the screw. And they know that the national benefit thus conlerred by his labours—which was first so clearly confirmed by the performances of the Rattler in 1845, then so strikingly illustrated at the naval review of 1853, and which is now so confidently relied on for success in actual war—has not hitherto procured for him either public acknowledgment or pecuniary reward. They have therefore formed themselves info a Provisional Commit tee, and have requested us most respectfully to solicit the homour of your name, and the advantage of your influence and example, in sup- Port of an appeal to all clas , es and interest. fora general subscription to present a suitable , estimmqial to Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, for his prominent services in bringing into practice the system of screw navigation.—We have the honour to be your obedt. servants, EDWARD PELLA:IV HALSTED,} lion.

Mott, °dieters superieurs du Genie Maritime, et Ingenieurs de la Marine delere Clasee, and Botntoots, Captaine de Fregate, for the successful application of steam and screw propulsion to sal:ing vessels of war:— " En 1835, un fermier de Middlesex, M. Francis Pettit Smith, en cadre hor zontalement une vis d'Archlmede a l'arriere et dans la partie la plus pincee de la carene ; cette vis est continue ; elle adeux revolutions completes. L'auteur prend son brevet le 31 Mal, 1836." " Revenons an fainter Smith. Asset peu savant dans le prinelpe que le barbier it avail la meme perseverance et le nsemeinclomptable courage. Cesdeux qualites morales l'ont fait triom pher de tousles obstacles. 3f. Smith, pendant deux annecs, essaye son bateau stir la Tamise et stir le canal de Paddington. Dans ce canal, par an accident heureux, use rcvolut on de sa vie d'Archimede est brisee, et le navire marche plus vite qu'auparavant. C'est un trait do lumtere, et l'on flnira par n'employer qu'une mottle. qu'on tiers, et memo une inoindre ;ude de revolution d'helice. Par ce moyen, l'on pourra loger le propulseur dans une etroite ouverture verticale, en avant du gouvcrnail, entre deux etambots. " D'essals en essais, M. Smith se hasarde a !utter contra les diffl cultes de la mer. Avec tin navire extremement petit, it s'aventure dans la Manche, et brave un mer tonjours si dure, en essnyant des temps mauvais ; son courage inspire une faveur universelle. " L'Amiraute d'Angleterre prend un vif interet a des mats tentes si courageusement, et couronnes par le succas. Elle demande a M. Smith un essai plus considerable, et la construction d'un navire a helice de 200 tonneaux, avant de condors a l'adoplion du nouveau systeme. En consequence, l'Archimede, de 2:37 tonneaux, est c.Am struit et mis ala mer. L'Amiraute s serail montree satisfaite, at dans lex experiences demandees, le batiment cut parcouru 5 neeuds par heure ; ii en parcourut pros du double. Malgre le vent et la maree, it ne mit quo vingt heures pour aller de Gravesend a Ports mouth. "Convaincue par cos epreuves, l'Amiraute d'Angleterre accepte l'helice pour ses propres nevires. En 1841, elle fait commencer a sheerness son premier batiment a propulseur helicoide, le Rattler In port de 888 tonneaux, batiment qu'on mit a la me , au printemps, de 1843. On multipliat les experiences stir ce navire, et l'Amiraute, completement edifice, ordonna de construire a la fats, vingt bati ments de l'Etat, a proput:eurs helicoides."

" Lond. , n, Juno 13, 1854, "Dear Sir,—l have not a doubt that Mr. Smith may justly claim the merit of having been the first to introduce the us.a of the screw propeller; and it was owing to hid succe.s in its application that shortly before I left the Admiralty 1 felt myself justified in ordering the Rattler to be built, for the purpo e of testing the comparative advantages of the paddle and the Screw.—Believe me, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) " MIN TO.

"Fir,—lt is impossible for me to take upon myself to offer an .Joinion as to which of the claimants is to be attributed the merit of the first invention of the screw propeller; but I believe that the success of " the Archimedes," followed by the trial of "the ]Cattier," _ . _ . (: Atilt under Lord )linto's Board), led to the adoption of the screw in 17 MAllik►vy, and in the merchant service.

The uniform sixpenny rate was extended to Victoria in conse quence of a communication which was understood to convey the acquies , ence of the Colonial Government; but by despatches of a later date it apnears that there has been soma misapprehension in this respect, and that not only has no such acquiescence been given. but a high rate of colonial inland postage continues to be collected, on heltalt of the colonial revenue, upon all letters sent to this country. The Postmaater-General is, therefore, reluctantly compelled to re vert to the former arrangement. ROWLAND lIILL, Secretary. NEW REGULATIONS for the TRA.NSMIS SION of NEWSPAPERS and other PERIODICAL PUBLI CATIONS by POST.— The following Circular Letter, a cony of which has been iorwailed to the printer of each pa' lication now passing thr ugh the Post under the Newspaper priTilege, is putall-hed ior general information : Genoral Post-office, June 16, 1855. 1. As a publication, of wh ch you are the printer, has hitherto passed through the post under the newspa ,er * privilege, I am directed by the Postinaster , teneral to request your attention to the provi slum of the Act To am 111 the Laws relat'ng to the Stamp Duties on Newspapers, and to provide fir the t ansteission bi po , tt of printed periodi:al publications," which has now received the Royal A stsent. 2. By this Act every periolical publication printed in c 'nformlty with the several re..ulations therein specified, on paper duly stamped with an appropriated die, and posted within 15 days from the date of publication, will, on and after the day appointed for the Act to take effect, be entitled to the privilege of transmission and ra-transmis sion by the post, between places in the United Kingdom, on certain conditions ; among these are the following : First. —The publication must have the title and date of publica tion printed on the top of every page; and Second.—lt must be folded in such a manner that the whole of th., stamp or starnps, denoting the duty, sitall ha exposed to view, and be distinctly visible on the outside. 3. I need hardly point out that, unless the publication printed by you he a periodical publication, in every respect conformable to the provisions of the Act, it will not in future be entitled to any privilege with respect to its trausmi sion by the post. But should you desire that the publicat ion shall enjoy the postal privilege, I am to draw your attention especially t• the two conditions just named, as being those most likely to be overlooked, and to sugeest that you should advise your publisher and readers to cnmp'y with the second, so as to avoid the inconvenience that would otherwise result from its enforcement. To faciliWe such camAance, I am further to suggest the import ance of s printing the paper, that the stamp or stamps shall inva riably fall on an outside page, and of adopting both these measures even before the new rcgul stions become comaulsory. 4. the Act further proviiks that, to entitle a publication to the privileges connect,' with transmission beyond the United Kingdom, the following conditions, in addition to those already noticed, shall be observed. First.--The Postmaster-General must be satisfied that such pub- lication is a newspaper, or entitled to the privilege of a newspaper, within he me:111'11g of existing Treaties and arrangements with Foreign and Gdonial Governments; and Second —The proprietor er printer must register the publication at thr , General Post-office in London. 5, It', therefore, volt de ire that the publication, of which you are the printer, shall enjoy these privileges, it is ricessary that you should m .ke a wri ten application to that effect, addressed— "To the Secretary of the Post•office, (Newspaper Register.) London," and enclosing a specimen copy, stamped with the appropriated die. 6. your application must further be ne , !ompanled by the sum of ss. as a fee tor admission to the register, and this payment will en title the newspaper to be retained on the register till the let of July, 1856. If the fee be transmitted through the post, it should be by means of a post-officeaaoeey order. Payable to Br. Maitland Wilson B ,yd, of the General Post-office. Landon. 7. A like fee of Si. must be paid, in tires 'me manner, yearly, viz., 0 t or before the 15th June, otherwise it will be understood that the privilege in ouestioa is no longer desired. and the name of the publication will be removed from the Register at the clo'e of the same manth of June. Of this arrangement due notice will be given from time to time. 8. it must, of course, be understood that, even while the pnhlica- Von continues on the register, the privilege of transmission abroad will be lost by any change which shall deprive the publication of the characteristics of a newspaper, within the meaning of the treaties, &c., alluded to above. 9. rho Postmitster-General desirse me also to explain that regis tration will not absolutely secure any postal privilege afterthe publi cation has left this country, as his Lordship has no power to require the post-office of a foreign country, or even (w th a few exceptions) of a British colony, to treat a publication as a newspaper merely be cause It is held to be such in this country, although the fact of its being entered opt-n the register will be presumptive evidence that it has a claim to be so treated. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GAR DENS. THIS EVENING. Grand Modelled View of Se bastopol.. An attempt will be made to convey, to the public an idea of the operations of a siege, and that nothing may be wanting to give reality to the scene the proprietor has secured the services of a considerable number of the wounded heroes of the Crimea, and at half-past 6 this evening will be given the attack and defeat of the Russian sortie, in which upwards of Or) soldiers, marines, artillery men, and seamen will a•sis`.

TATTERSALL'S—No/ova'. During the early part of the afternoon the business that was transacted was chiefly in the way of settling on the events of the past week. Towards the close, however, book-makers busily addressed themselves again to events to come, and speculation became tolerably active. Of the Hampshire " features," only the Stewards' Plate, to be run for at Stockbridge next Thursday, was brought into notice ; 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 were taken about Oulston, and 7 to 2 about Kingstown, but the investments were only in small sums. NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE.—Vindex was rather unsteady ; at first 8 to 1 was taken, but at the close 9 to 1 was laid and afterwards offered. The following five were backed at evens against the field :—Gamekeeper, Vindex, Spinner, Rother ham, snd Courtenay. LIVERPOOL Cur.-5 to 2 was taken to some money about Shoreham; no other horse mentioned. CrOODWOOD STAKES.-At the commencement Malmsey was backed at 12 and 14 to 1, but the hope with which these odds were taken was quickly extinguished by subsequent offers to bet 500 to 20 agst her ; Quince, Pumicestone, and Mishap were in good demand at 1,000 to 60 each, and the same odds were taken about Syvagee, after several small sums had been invested on him at 20 to 1. THE DERBY.—FIy-by-Night maintained the lead at 10 to 1 (taken to nearly 3011.) ; Fazzoletto and Dramatist were backed at 1,100 to 50 each, and The Danube and Bird-in- Hand received considerable support in "well-informed quarters," the former at 1,000 to 45 and 1,010 to 51, and the latter at 1,000 to 40 and 1,010 to 45. 1,000 to 35 was taken twice about Result, 1,001 to 30 and 3,000 to about Voivode ; 50 go 1 and 40 to 1 to various sums about Rhody cina colt. Nothing else occurred worthy of particular comment. The quotations at the close were as follows ; STEWARDS' PLATE—STOCKBRIDGE. 7to 4 agst Mr. Howard's Ouleton (taken) 7to 2 agst Mr. H.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the Lands Improvement Company Bill were considered. ENGLAND AND IRELAND IMPROVED COM MUNICATION BILL. On the third reading of this bill, Mr. 'WILSON moved to insert a clause reserving to the Government power to make such alterations in the bill, from time to time, as should secure the conveyance of the mails between England and Ireland. Mr. V. SCULLY moved an amendment to insert the words " passengers " or " luggage "in the clause. Mr. CORRY opposed the amendment. After a short discussion the amendment was with drawn. Mr. V. SCI7LLY then proposed an amendment limiting the term of the agreement between the Govern ment and the Railway and Steam Packet Companies to two years, instead of five years, as proposed by the bill. Mr. VANCE opposed the amendment on the ground that two years would not be a fair time to test the working of the proposed arrangement. Mr. WILSON said he was sorry he could not accede, on the part of the Government, to th 3 amendment, bias much as the contract already existing between the Government and the Steam-packet Company would not expire till 1860. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Mr. WILSON then explained that, this bill in passing now would pass without a single obligation on the part either of the Government or the com panies. The first object of the bill was to secure in the first instance the most rapid postal com munication between the two countries. (Hear, hear.) When that object was attained by the Postmaster-Ge nera!, the Government could have no other end in view than to promote the passenger traffic between England and Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 11. HERBERT expressed his satisfaction at the statement just made by the Secretary to the Treasury, which he hoped would be carried out in a liberal spirit by the Government. Mr. V. SCULLY then moved another amendment to limit the time of contract to three years. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill read a third time. THIRD REA.DINGS. The Iledon and Hull, &c. Road Bill, the Shrewsbury Improvement Bill, the Ipstones Mineral Br anc h Rail way Bill, the Dundalk Harbour and Port Bill, and the Wisbech Port Bill were read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Lord EBRINGTON presented four petitions against the interference with the sale of ale and beer on the Lord's day, and two against the re commendation of the Commissioners of last ses session for the abolition of licences being carried into a law ; one by an lion. Member in favour of the Tenants' Improvement (Ireland) Compensation Bill. TENANTS' IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) COM PENSATION BILL. On tho order of the day for the housa going into com. mittee, VißCount GALWAY moved the adjournment of the consideration of this bill until after the disposal of the Metropolis Local Management Bill. Sir J. SHELLEY said that the motion for post poning the going into committee on this bill till that clay three months would, in all probability, involve a discussion of its principle. He agreed with the right honourable member for Buckingham that these morning sittings ought to be appropriated to the consideration of such bills as were in such a state as progress could be made with them, and he put it to the house whether a day should be lost in this manner. Mr. MAGUIRE said this was a question that was looked to with great anxiety and interest by the people of Ireland, and he had heard of no sufficient rea son why the present course should be adopted. Mr. HORSMAN said there were two principles in volved in this bill. One prospective and the other retro spective. On the retrospective clause there appeared to be a difference of opinion, but on the prospective clause there was none. He proposed that as the 14th clause contained important provisions relative to the principle of the bill, the house should proceed with the clauses up to the 14th, when the further con sideration of that should be postponed to Thursday even ing, when the principle of the bill could then be fully discussed. After considerable discussion, in which the Irish mem bers took a prominent part, the house divided on th• motion of Viscount Galway. For the motion Against it Majority aga,:nst the motion -52 (LEFT SITTING.) LAW INTELLIGENCE (TIIIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. The house sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The PeerA present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, the Duke of Leeds, and Earl Gosford. A part-heard Sc.aLch appeal occupied their lordahipa the whole day. PRIVY COUNCIL. Their lordships sat to-day in the Council-Office, Whitehall, to hear appeals. The lords present were the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, the Lord Justice Turner, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and Sir J. Patteson. DE BRETTY V. GOODUAN. The Lord Justice Knight Bruce gave the judgment of their lordships, in this appeal from the Island of St. Lucia, allowing the appeal without costs. COURT OF CHANCERY. The Master of the Rolls, and the Vice-Chancellors Kindersley, Stuart, and Wood, tat in their Courts at Lincoln's•inn, to-day, to hear notices, it being the first seal after Trinity Term. Nothing of the slightest inte rest came before them during the morning. The Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices of Ap peal did not sit at Lincoln's•inn to-day, the former having to attend the' House of Lords on appeals, and the Lords Justices sitting at the Privy Council. THE STEAM-MIPS COLUMBIAN AND EUROPEAN.—We understand that these magnificent steam-ships have both been chartered by the French Government, and will leave the Clyde—the former on Saturday, the latter on the let of .July—direct for Marseilles, thence to embark horses for the Crimea, of which each will carry above 300, besides accommodating about 1.000 troops. THE INCOME TAX COLLECTORS.—Yesterday the Corn missioLers of Inland Revenue issued instructions that in the returns now being made for the collection of income tax for the current year the assessments under schedule A and B, made in the year 1853, in respect to lands and hereditaments, are to remain in force at the increased rate granted by the 17th Vic., chap. 24, except in the case of new buildings having been commenced. On Saturday, in consequence of the public market being closed in Smithfield, the Governors of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital shut their gates, and refused to allow the public to pass through into Little Britain from Smithfield, a permissive right of way that has existed fur many years. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday a coroner's inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Antelope, in Phipp street, Shoroditcb, upon Thomas Sheldon, aged 60, a gunsmith, who destroyed himself by blowing his brains out at his residence, in Motley court, Curtain-road. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CRIMEA.—In addition to the immense reinforcements of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, about to embark from England, the following regiments are under orders to proceed to the seat of war, immediately on being relieved by line and militia regi ments, viz.:-13th Light Infantry, from Gibraltar 54th Foot, from ditto ; 66th Foot, from ditto ; 82d Foot, from the lonian Islands ; let Battalion 91st Foot, from the Piraeus ; ar.d 92d Highlanders, from Gibraltar. The following regiments of infantry of the line are under orders to embark for foreign service, but it is believed they will proceed in the first instance to Gibraltar, Malta, or the lonian Islands, previous to joining the army in the East, viz. —lsth Foot (recently returned from Ceylon), from Cork ; .3lst King'S Li g ht I n f antry, from Manchester ; 56th Pompadours, from Dublin ; 3d battalion 66th Rifles (newly raised), from Dublin ; 80th Foot, from Portsmouth ; 94th Font, 1,300 strong, recently returned from India ; 90th Foot, from Dublin ; 98th Foot, from Weedon ; and 31 Battalion (newly levied) of the Rifle Brigade, from Gosport. ART UPON THE TURN.—At the shop in the Strand, opposite Catherine-street, where for years that pioneer of cheap readable literature, "The Mirror," was pub lished, Mr. Mabley, an ingenious tradesman, has con trived an apparatus for the exhibition of many of the choicest engravings of the first masters at the same time. This is done by a circular motion and the prints, being folded to show ,their principal features, are arranged around it. Nor are the very low prices of these results of our eminent modern artists less worthy of remark, as they must assist materially the fast increasing and healthy taste for more superior and intellectual works than have hitherto decorated the dwellings of the middle classes. This may be truly called a revolution in art ; and the tura it is taking is certainly no slight evidence of the progress of refinement. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11OLLOWAT'S PILLS, for the CLre of Aqhrnatic Coughs, and all Diseases of the Chest and Lungs. —A gentleman, named Middleton, of Scot land-road, Liverpool, states in a letter to Professor Hol loway, dated Jan. 1, 1853, that for upwards of five years he suffered seve re ly f rom as th ma , a tt en ded with a violent cough, which so prostrated his strength, and debilitated his constitution, as totally to unfit him for any of the active duties of life. He was attended by the most emi nent medical men, but all failed to give bim relief. At length he tried Holloway's pills, and in about three months this wond er f u l me di c i ne effected a perfecb cure of his disease, and restored him to sound health.—Sold by all druggtste, and at Professor Holloway's Establish ments, 244, Strand, London ; and 80, Maiden-lane, New York. Before Sebastopol, June 5, 1855. My Lord—T am deeply concerned to have to info rm your Lordship that Rear-Admiral Boxer died on board the Jason last night, outside the harbour of Balaklava, after a very short illness. He was removed to that ship in the hope that the pure sea air might prove benefici a l t o hi m ; b ut this expecta tion was not fulfilled. His m a l a dy ma d e rapid progress, and early in the afternoon of yesterday it was intimated to me that his life was despaired of. His nephew died of cholera last week, and the melati: choly event so deeply affected .him that his health at once gave way, and he sunk under the same disease. It is well known that this officer devoted his whole life to the public service. Since he under took the appointment of Admiral Superintendent of the harbour of •Balaklava he has applied him self incessantly to the discharge of his arduous duties, exposing himself in all weathers ; and he has rendered a most essential service to the army by im proving the landing-places and establishing wharves on the west side of the port, whereby the disembarkation of stores and troops has been greatly accelerated, and communications with the shore have been rendered much easier.—l have, ckc. , 'RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, Ice. ltd. Ito. Before Sebastopol, June 5, 1855.. My.

It appears that previously to their retirement from, the place; the troops destroyed the principal buildings and thearulansent, which consisted of shout sixty heavy guns-and six mortars, and it is concluded that they have joined the garrison of Anapa, from whence many of the inhabitants have removed. _ . Sir Edmund Lyons has been so good as to send me the detached report of the naval' operations in the Sea of Azoff, which will reach England either before or at the same time as this despatch. They reflect the highest credit on Captain Lyons of the Miranda, and the officers and men serving under his orders, and are remarkable f or th e i n t e lli gence, gallantry, and judgment with which they have been conducted ; and it is a matter of much gratulation, which will be peculiarly felt by her Majesty, that whilst great injury has been inflicted on the enemy in the loss of resources of every description, the most brilliant and unwonted success has been achieved in an incredibly short time with only one casualty, and that not of a serious nature. These gallant exploits of the navy have spread joy in oar camps and afforded vast satisfaction to every indi vidual in the army. A body of French troops under the command of Gene ral Morris and General Canrobert, and a column of the Sardinian corps under General La Marmora, made a reconnaissance on Baidar, on the morning of the 3d. The former proceeded along the Woronzow-road and pushed their cavalry several miles beyond Baidar the latter operated on the left through a mountainous dia. trict, and advanced into Baidar, after a fat:ping march only a small number of Cossacks showed themselves.

Lord Raglan, Commander-in-Chief. Before Sebastopol, June 5. My Lord—l have the honour to enclose a letter from the Inspector-General of Hospitals forwarding the weekly state of the sick of the army. The cholera has sensibly diminished in the camps be fore Sebastopol, but it has attacked the Guards and the 31st Regiment, near Balaklava, and some of the new batteries, as well as the followers of the army in that town. It is hoped that the disease will pass from them as it has from the stations where it first appeared. I am grieved to have to say that it has fallen heavily on the Sardinian Contingent, and that General La Marmora is in great anxiety about it. I am rendering him all the assistance in my power. Whilst writing to your lordship, an officer has brought me a letter from him, announcing that his brother General La Marmora, who commands his se c - md division, has been very severely attacked. He has been accommodated with a quarter at Kadikoi, and every attention shall be paid him.—l have. &c., The Lord Panmnre, &c. &c. &c. RAGIA.N. COUNTRY MARKE rs. prices lower, 15 on the best !s.

Yesterday was the fortieth anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, an 1 it was observed by the Renee of Commons in an appropriate, though singular manner. In comparative leisure, and with returning confidence, the house listened to the sad story of a campaign without precedent in the annals of war. Ere this there have been large armaments and dis tant expeditions ; the multitudes of Western Europe, ere this, have flocked to the East, perishing on the way, to res cue for orthodox hands the guardianship of the holy places. What was new in the narrative read last night in tho House of Commons w 4s, that it related to the conduct of an expedi tion in 'which the magnitude, the distance, the boldness, and the chivalry of a crusade ere repeated in an era when life is preci ous an d humanity is a la w of States and of nations in an advanced state of civilise tion, under a constitutional government, with unbounded wealth, ingenuity, and resources, aided by such fleets, such engines, such stores, as even the author of " Jerusalem De livered" could never have imagined. The story tells how, in spite of all these means and appliances—in spite of forty year s . preparation—in spite of a vast amount of practised skill and theoretic intelligence brought to our aid, we nevertheless broke down utterly and in all points save one —viz., in that rude, personal prowess, which the savage may passess in com mon with the most accomplished soldier. We know not how we can epitomise in a few words a history which its authors have with difficulty compressed into seven columns of this journal, and which has been our principal topic for the greater part of a year. We may, however, say that on a careful perusal we cannot find ourselves contradicted or discredited on any single point; we are not convicted of a single crag. aeration ; and the truthfulness of our correspon dents has been fully established. We may add, that whereas a certain section of the late Cabinet, in resisting the appointment of a committee of inquiry, confidently and re peatedly alleged that the inquiry would dbe continually checked by the fear of compromising our ally, and the alliance itself would be endangered, the committee own no such fear and betray no such restriction. They have learnt all that they could desire, without offending the most delicate sus. ceptibility. We have no wish whatever to revive the controversies that should now be merged in a common desire to reform our civil and military administration. But, as the cause of free com ment and public opinion itself is at stake, we will just remind all who read this report of the sort of battle we had to fight last year. The information which we published from the seat of tatwar ear. is, from Gallipoli Varna, from the Crimea, and r a do ad n t na li theca n e ! p h i O c r e t res h a e n B d o s s o p h f o or ti t h a : z as h I'deeint i e tt ge ed ne to rai be a gra verme phi n e t , that such things could not possibly be, that everything bad been done that could be done from England, that there was an abundance of supply, a plurality of superintendence, and an excess of regularity ; and, finally. that the official reports showed everything going on well. It was intimated that to produce startling effects was a trick of our trade, that the cleverest c\)rrespondent could only describe what could be seen by one;pair of eyes, and was no judge of that .vast order and method ruling the whole mass outwardly go The report before us, though studiou.sly safe and mild, fur . - nishes an- ample reply to the ready assumptions on which wo were so often rashly contradicted. It is now established on the best possible authority that the chiefs of depart rnents at home did not know either their own proper functions or the duties of their subordinates that they clashed with one another, that they fell into irre gular action, employing informal agency and private corm spondonce—either certain to be slighted and disobeyed. It is established that the duties of the Secretary of War and of the Secretary at War under the new system were never laid down ; that the Board of Ordnance, deprived of its thief and of an importantmember of the Board, was left not only without proper authority, and intelligence, but in a state of utter disor ganisation, n )t knowing what it could do, and how it was to act, so as to entail not only an anomalous interference of the War Minister, but, what was more serious still, internal con troversy, delay, and confusion in sending out clothing and other supplies. It is established that frequent requisitions for steamers, artificers, and other things of pressing necessity were disregarded at home, under the false and very foolish idea that the want was transitory, as the war must soon be brought to an end. It is established that the replies sent from home to the representations from the spot were in a spirit of caution and economy much more suitable to a time of profound peace than a great war. It is esta blished that at the very moment when the conductors of the war at home were assuring us there was a vast superabund ance of all things wanted either in the field, the Camp, or the hospital, there was the most fearful dearth, the things being either wanting or inaccessible. When the army was ham-, pered by routine, and it appeared to be thought better thou sands should starve than that forms should not be 'properly filled ; when, too, this routine had defenders at home, it now appears that in some instances for months no accounts were really kept, and the stores were squandered utterly without check. It appears that officials, proved and reported in competent, were nevertheless retained in their places, to continue their reign of disorder. It appears that officers cent to make inquiry reported everything right, when everything was wrong; and that, while Lord Raglan's own Staff was employed in imposing upon him a false account of the condition of the army, the camp, the road, the harbour, and the hospitals, as a very natural consequence, the only opportunity the Government had of learning the truth was the correspondence in the newspapers, which. un fortunately for them, the army, and the nation, they did not wholly believe. It certainly does occur to us also, as one reads the report, that free institutions arc tried hr war. The principal danger, however, is not exactly that which occurs to some minds—viz., t le excessive liberty of comment assumed by the public. • With out this liberty, and without this plainness of speech, we can not, for the life of us, see what chance there was of these evils and disorders ever being remedied, or so much as known. The greatest danger is that of divided authority, inde pendent action, and such a want both of definite rules and supreme authority that, while some generously volunteer, others are afraid to assume their full responsibility, and. others again find they can sit still and do nothing without in curring either penalty or exposure. While an Ambassador, a Military Commandant, a Medical Superintendent, and a Medical Commission er o f Inquiry, and we know not who be sides, had full power at Scutari to do everything and spend any sum of money, there was, in fact, nobody who would venture to spend sixpence out of the way, except Miss Nightingale and the administrator of our own Fund. The harbour of Balaklava was at least in three direrent hands— the Senior Captain, the Master of Transports, and the har bourmaster,—while the Compaissary-aeueral was the man actually chargeable with the landing of the stores and their conveyance to the camp. Here again was another dohateaLle ground ; but here we must stop, for the " road to the camp" will lead us too far from our present limits. But ppeAbig___ is very clear. There is now no excuse for undefined duties and divided authority. There is no reason why the functions of every officer and the range of every department should not now bo laid down with the utmost exactness, and left on re cord for the guidance of the present and future campaigns, Whatever delusion Ministers were in as to the duration of the war last year, we now know that it is wisa to make up our minds to 20 years at least, and that we are much more likely to shorten the war by an over than by an under-estini Timm. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. A Malta letter of the 13th inst. contains the following news connected with the navy and army : " The latest arrival here is that of the screw steam-frigate Malacca, with the gun-boats Boxer, Clinker, and Fancy. The Royal Artillery who was on board the Malacca and Gorgon have been landed.

TIIE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Peninsular steam transport left Portsmouth harbour on Sunday evening for the Thames. The Lucifer paddle wheel steam-vessel was placed in No. 6 dock at Portsmouth yesterday, to be repaired for recommission. The Julia sailing transport left Portsmouth yesterday for Southampton. Tho seamen apprentices' training brigs Rolla and Scalark left Portsmouth yesterday, to cruise outside for the benefit of the ( novices. The steam-ship Oneida, though announced to sail on Satur day evening from Kingstown, did not start until half-past 12 on Sunday, As the noble vessel steamed out of harbour the troops on board were loudly cheered by the groups on shore, and the cheers were warmly returned from the ship.
