We know, however, on the unexceptionable testi mony of General EvANs, that " the War was commenced under the delusion that it would be settled without any explosion of gunpowder, and that there was no necessity for any magazines." This delusion was the source of all the evils. It was this which led to the financial policy of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, which starved the War, and to the indifference as to the efficiency of what were regarded as merely temporary measures. Where, then, is Lord HARDINGE ? Where Lord ABERDEEN ? Another, or others, may possibly be required, but these are indispensable, for whose absence no excuse can be received or sanctioned. Whatever the abstract fitness or unfitness of appointing national days for solemn fasting, humiliation, and prayer, the circumstances of the QUEEN'S command is the present instance are of the most objectionable kind ; the Indeed all kinds of most undesirable reflections. , we won der that the author of the letter to the Edinburgh Presbytery should have advised the Royal Procla mation. Perhaps he finds that English bishops aro rather more formidable than Scotch D.D.'s. Be it observed that the bishops did, in fact, steal a march on the Premier. One of the most pragma tical, and another of the most adroit among them, advertised their clergy of the importance of directiog their congregations' thoughts to prayer for the army—exhorting them at the same time not to venture a public prayer for it, lest they should thereby modify the Liturgy to the urgency of the hour. At a moment when the nation is half frantic with the fatal results of routine in the army, these worthy Fathers in GOD paraded be fore the nation the inflexibility of routine in the Church. No one might have noticed it had they but kept their glib pens still. Their missives, of course, had only the effect of enabling every dissent* ing teacher to declaim on the incompetence of a clergy who could not be trusted to shape one brief peti tion to HEAVEN for the nation's army, or on the miserable slavery and high-handed tyranny which restrains them, if competent. Was it wise to place the Church before the community in such a light ? To tell its members to think and think again, but not to venture to pray till his Lordship of Lambeth had found them words, and my Lord PALNIERSTON had found them a day ? In one respect, however, they were wise. Lard PALMERSTON could not answer letters not written to him ; they wrote at him, not to him. The won der is that he did not speak at them. However, when Governments were shifting like dissolving views, it was no time to quarrel with the Lor.,:s Spiritual. In another respect, very wise, indeed, were the men of lawn. Had the clergy been thrown upon their impromptu supplications, who can tell but that some confessions might have been of sins in high places ? But of that presently. One of the objections attending Proclamations of this kind is their inevitable assumption. It compels her MAJESTY to command the worship of GOD ; to command humiliation, penitence, and supplication for pardon. Command is the only word for a SOVEREIGN ; but, unfortunately, the thing commanded that which no SOVEREIGN can enforce. It compels her MAJESTY also to assume (following the invariable phraseology) that the favour of ALMIGHTY GOD," or " His wrath and indignation," await obedience or disobedience to a command which half her subjects think beyond her province. Catholics and Dissenters of every class have already and spontaneously obeyed what they deem a higher command in the matter. Why should they now obey a second and inferior ? As to the great body of the working classes, they will either use it as a day;of amusement, or a day of grumbling that fast they must if they are de prived of a day's work. The most inexcusable assumption of all, at least the one most in viola tion of common sense, since the publication of the Religious Census, is, that on these occasions the QUEEN ignores all sects but the Anglican Episcopal Church t She addresses all her loving subjects, amongst whom she surely includes those who do not belong to the State Church, adverts to none of the millions who worship GOD sin cerely, although not by our Liturgy, and bids them all to use the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S prayer r If it were said, we all know what is meant ; the reply is, then why not say what is meant. Roman Catholics and Dissenters might as well be requested to fast and pray as the Christians, of whom the QUEEN is the Eccle siastical Head, be commanded to do it. But the extreme bad taste of the thing is the time and the occasion. Why, supposing her MAJESTY'S loving subjects to obey pretty generally, what will they be thinking of ? We cannot for get cause and effect even in our devotions. Men enraged with the destructive mismanagement of our aristocracy are commanded to humble them selves, to fast and to pray ! What for, they will ask. Are we, like Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, to stand in awe of the PROVIDENCE which rebukes us by storms and pestilence ? Or are we to humble ourselves that we have tolerated an incompetent aristocracy in the place of desert and merit ? Are we not to mourn for the just but disappointed hopes of thousands of meritorious men who have died in penury and unhonoured, while the wealthy and well-connected have bought the rank which belonged to the deserving? Have we not gone to the pestilence, and thrown ourselves into the hurricane by the, gross delinquencies of those whom we put in office ? Such reflections and questionings will arise in the minds of all. Men will feel before their MAKER that most of the calamities deplored have befallen them not directly from the hand of GOD, but directly through those Court influences, owing to which War was not prosecuted in earnest, Poland and a Polish Le gion contemned, Austria allowed to dismiss Rus sian reinforcements from the Danube to Inker man ; and to that aristocratic greed which had filled every appointment from its own ranks, ignored men of business, and thus starved and decimated the army. We repeat that it is the worst possible taste to proclaim a-day for men ids assemble in the Sanctuary when men's thoughts must fluctuate between the MOST HIGH and Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee ; and when the prayer of so many hearts will really be for the substitution of Worth, ort a h r , is m to e c r r i a t, cy a . n d capacity for a mere here- At the commencement of the War we were told i must soon come to ' bl a i conclusion, since measures taken iseeff t e o ctuall y to prevent Russia .ade the Russian coasts, and would ou b i e e r v v commerce.

Thin ' in:ty the were of ruin, have been true ; but, unfortunately, the experi ment has been so bungled that trade with Russi a has not been stopped, and her merchants and nobles are almost as prosperous now as they were before the War began. This is the more startling when it is considered that Great Britain received from Russia ~ r ~~ ~~(~ i r~~ ~~ LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1855. Each day a more formidable case is established against the late Government. The evidence of negligence and incapacity already elicited is over whelming. It is not merely the system that was in fault, but also the men by whom it was admi nistered. It. certainly appears to have been in geniously devised to do the least quantity of work with the greatest amount of trouble, to disregard the substance by a stupid adhesion to forms, and to consider the comfort, health, and even lives of her Meausrv's subjects as of less importance than obtaining the requisite number of signatures and counter signatures, and having the terms of each consignment and requisition in strict accord ance with ,established precedent. But, while admitting to the fullest extent all its evils, we cannot exonerate those in autho rity, who, if they possessed any degree of energy, zeal, or, we are sorry to be compelled to add, humanity, would speedily have enforced more judicious regulations. We want men, not ma chines, in positions of difficulty ; persons pos sessed of a reasoning power, and willing to exercise it—aye, and if necessary, to assume—the responsibility •f any violation of the rules, when it could be shown that it was calculated to prove beneficial tc. the community. But none dared to resist the despotic ukases of King Red-Tape, and hence the fearful losses we have sustained, and the disgrace and dishonour inflicted on the British name and the injury to British interests. Although the investigation may be protracted, new witnesses produced, and evidence heaped on evidence, it will be difficult to add to the case already established. The strong impressions that prevailed have been converted into cer tainties—we now know what we formerly be lieved. The Crime has been established. The Criminals must be sought after—and that not only among subordinates, but in high quarters. It is manifest that there is " a screw loose " at the "Horse Guards. Why, then, has not Lord HARDIROR been called ? Why has the Comman der-in-Chief not been required to make a clean breast of it, and account for the deficiencies of the department over - which he presides It may, an d we earnestly hope will, be that Lord HAR DINGE Will appear before the Committee. If the m embers are determined efficiently to discharge the important duties confided to their hands, it must be so. N ay , more, should it appear that there were a ny undue influences in operation, they must not suffer themselves to be deterred by any considerations from probing the matter to the bottom, and having the parties implicated, who ever they may be, before them. The clue supplied by Sir DE LACY Eve: , ..rs should be followed up to the utmost extent. The nation was disgusted at the want of energy dis played in the earlier stages of the transaction, the blind confidence reposed in the professions of the AUTOCRAT, and the ridiculous expectation that the matter could be brought to a atisfactory termination by negotiations, con ' f ore nces, or protocols. It saw how incapable were our diplomatists of coping with their wily and unscrupulous opponents, and beheld with dis gust, but without astonishment, the inevitable re sults of.such weakness and timidity. But, when War was proclaimed, when the invasion of the e llemerritory, and the assault on his strong hold was aoterminml on, we had a right to expect that matters would be conducted vigorously and energetically—that the lives of eur men should TILE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 185 5, 9,600,0001. worth of her exports, or 38 per cent. of her whole produce ; while France received 8 per cent., and Turkey 5 per cent—the Allies, wards of one-half of the whole !ivi4 exports of Russia. The cessation of this traffic alone could not but have had a paralysing effect on Russia, and common sense indicated the pro priety, not to say the necessity, of securing such cessation.l Yet the: fact is our importations of Russian tallow land flax have greatly increased, and during the first eight months of last year there was an increase of wheat from 1,600,000 to 3,000,000 qrs. How this has taken place is easily enough explained. Prussia, the German States, Holland, and Belgium have had matters their own way; and, while affecting neutrality, have been act ing as brokers for Russia, at all events facilitating and profiting by the transit of Russian produce through. their territories. The neutrality of these States has been our bane. The most remarkable thing of all, however, is, that there is every reason to believe that articles contraband of war have been exported largely from Great Britain and Ireland to foreign pOrts since the commencement of the War. It was bad enough one would have thought to suffer the enemy's produce to be imported—but to suffer the very weapons he needs to fight us with to be exported to Russia, however indirectly, is worse. For any Govern- ment official to authorise such exportation is really monstrous ; and yet, according to the editor of a Hull paper—as stated by Lord BERNEES in the House of Peers the night before last-- fifty tons of lead were shipped from Hull the other day, via Memel, to St. Petersburg. The Customs-house authorities at that port, it would appear, refused to pass the lead as an important munition of war, but a telegraphic message received from London authorised them to forward it, and they did. The reader will imagine this must have been a blunder. However well persuaded he may be of the foolish infatuation of men in office, hie will hesitate to believe that the Custom-house officers at Hull were wrong, and the superior au thority they appealed to was right. Yet so it was. Before the beginning of the War, as Earl GRANVILLE tells us, the exportation from this country of arms, ammunition, and naval and military stores was prohibited by proclamation ; and, when War was declared, the prohibition was limited to three classes of articles : (1) arms, (2) gunpowder, saltpetre, and brimstone, and (3) marine boilers and engines—additional restrictions being subsequently placed on blue lias and cement! Possibly it was thought the Russians would have trowels to spread the cement, but arms, gunpowder, and the materials to make gunpowder being prohibited there could be Lo harm in the lead ! So our neutral enemy Prussia has been kindly helping us to get rid of it, thereby serving Russia, and improving her own finances. All things considered, it was time for Lord JOHN RUSSELL to interfere and obtain the renewal of the promises of Prussia on the subject of contraband trade pass ing through her dominions, and the ex pression of an intention of rendering more effectual the means iu her power of preventing such traffic. An imperfect blockade ; Odessa spared ; Prussia., and other. States, suffered to serve the enemy, under the guise of neutrals ; thus the prolonged defence of Sebastopol ; the ha rassing of cur forces, and the continuance of the War, are accounted for. Bungling everywhere, and all throughout. If peace is net speedily concluded, something should be done in reference to neutrals. Things cannot go on as they are. WANTED, a nominative to a verb—the verb is active, and requires a masculine nominative in the third person singular. No one unconnected with the Government or the army need apply. Address to Messrs. MUN. TZ, LAYARD, NEWDRGATE, &c., House of Commons. We have been led to insert the above adver tisement by noting the difficulty in which several Honourable Members were placed on Monday night. They found themselves most inconveniently restricted in their phraseology; the passive verb, generally a plural one, was for ever recurring. Each speaker wanted to come to masculine gen der, nominative case, third person singular, but nowhere was the desideratum to be found—there was nothing for it but to play on the everlasting passive, and that, too, with no cause, agent, or instrument attached. For instance—" orders were issued" that no medical man should peach to the Crimean commissions without permission from head-quarters. Oh, could Mr. LAYARD but have phrased it M. N. or N. M. issued orders ! So, " boots were sent out too little for the men's feet ; " " crooked sights were fixed " on rifles which were all but sent to the Crimea. " The fusees to the shells were so badly made" that —LAYARD being eye-witness—not more than one in ten exploded ! and they cost us more than 61. each. " The frieze for the men's great-coats was manufactured" of such wretched quality that it might be seen through like gauze. The "pat terns for the arms were given out months after the order ;" consequently, the orders could not be executed in time. It would seem as if verbs of administrative offending rejoice in the passive voice. It is to be hoped, however, that Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee will succeed in answering our advertisement. If so; we shall not fail to put the verba delinquendi into the active voice, with their appropriate third person nominatives. The nation has happily got rid of Lord ABER DEEN. Who will abate the intolerable nuisance of the Peace Society ? Who will, for the firm) being, undertake to muzzle Mr. JOHN BRIGHT on all matters relating to the War? The man who can do so will render important service to the country—one deserving of the highest recom pence that can be offered. We should be very unwilling to sanction any impediment to the most perfect freedom of discussion. Oa domestic con cerns we can tolerate the utmost latitude of opinion. When parties choose to utter/unmitigated nonsense, to neglect their own legitimate business for matters of which they are profoundly ignorant, the mischief corrects itself—the poison carries with it its own antidote. But it is otherwise in foreign affairs, more especially in matters relating to war. They cannot mislead their countrymen, but they may deceive the enemy—may induce our opponents to suppose that the opinions so prominently put forward, so improperly obtruded on the community, are participated in by any but a small and insignificant clique. They well know that if England were polled from end to end not one man out of a hundred would be in favour of the armistice which they suggest; that it must bo fatal to any Ministry by whom it was sanc tioned ; and yet, without the possibility of doing any good, they endeavour to encourage our adver saries by gross misrepresentations of the state of public opinion. This is worse than a mistake—it is a positive crime. And if something cannot be de vised to deter them from so impolitic a course— ifeeto they canno t b e i n d uce d t o ac t i n a manner nmoreation a demonstration stra true - hearted should ou l d be m made Englishmen detoprove p —a e how completely unwarranted they have been in the unauthorised and incorrect assumptions so im properly put forward, THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO TI3E CRIMEA. A letter received from Paris this morning, con- 1 tains the following important intelligence : " The Emperor's departure is considered certain. Indeed, it is believed that he will set out to-morrow for Lyons, with the Empress. There is little doubt that his journey to the East has more objects in view than a mere visit to the Crimea, and that it also has reference to a plan of operations of an extent commensurate with such a war as the pro s:mt. On the precise nature of this plan of course much secrecy is observed, but it is nevertheless stated that a camp of at least 40,000 men will be established at Constantinople, and that the divisions of recent formation are destined for it. The closing of the passage of Perekop, through which the sup plies in provisions and men have been so long sent to Sebastopol, has been always an object of much interest to the Allies. Could that be effected, with the force the Turks now have at Eupatoria, and with the establishment cf a complete invest ment of Sebastopol, the Russian army in the Crimea would be at the mercy of the Allies. I hear it is proposed that the Austrian army, under Coronini, said to be composed of 60,000 men, will make a junction with the French division proceeding from Constantinople, no doubt by sea, and that the point will be on the borders of Mol davia,. Both- armies would thence invade Bessa rabia, and take up such a position as would inter cept the communications, and of course prevent any new reinforcements descending to the relief of the army in the Crimea. It is positively stated that a twelfth division of the army in the East is in course of formation. The forces destined for the East will be composed of not less than 15 divisions. MERIT ! TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. March 7, 1855, • Sidney Herbert, in his transparent sophis try, when speaking in the discussion on Lord Goderieh's motion on the system of promotions in the army, was pleased, while making an abortive effort to prove that merit was every man's passport to preftrinent in this country, to say, amongst other instances to establish the fallacy, "You have an Archbishop of York who was a man in some sores of huaible origin—that is, his father was." Now, let us go to facts, which will at once show that the man who believes Mr. Herbert on this point must be as green as the green coffee exported by that gentleman to the Crimea. It is true that the archbishop is the son of a draper. But, nevertheless, of the mythological fates, CLOTH—n has not presided over his elevation. lie married a Cavendish, a daughter of Lord Waterpark ; and to the Cavendish, not to Cloth—o, do I ascribe the translation to York. What ray you? Moreover, let Mr. Sidney Herbert tell us why the Adin - nistration to which he belonged appointed Lord Auckland, a man infinitely below mediocrity, to the Diocese of Bath and Wells ? Why it pitchforked the Hon. Horace Powis, a mere second-rate Whig jester, a tithe of the little finger of Sidney Smith, diluted down in ten thousand gallons of water, into the bishopric of Sodor and Man ? Why it gave to the Hon. Mr. Sugder, with certainly no claims beyond being his father's son, the third Government living which he has received dur ing his short career in the Church ? I will speak again if you insert this. In the mean time I remain, A COUNTRY CLERGYMAN. THE DUKE OF C4.IIBRIDGE.—The Queen and Prince Albert honoured the Duke of Cambridge by dining with his Royal Highness last evening, at his residence in St. James's Palace. Her Majesty and the Prince arrived from Buckingham Palace shortly after eight o'clock, attended by the Viscountess Canning, Major- General Bouverie, and Captain du Plat. On alighting, her Majesty was received by the Duke of Cambridge and conducted to the drawing-room. The following had the honour of meeting' the Queen and his Royal Highness at dinner :—His Excellency Count Kielman segge, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville, and Viscount Hardinge, General Commanding-in. Chief. Colonel Tyrwhitt was in waiting on the Duke of Cam bridge. After dinner her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent honoured the Duke of Cambridge with her company. A select circle of the aristocracy were also present in the evening. The Duchess of Leinster is lying in a very precarious state at Carton. The Duke of Leinster is not expected to come to London at present. The Lady Ellen Browne, the only child of the Mar quis of Sligo, died a few days since, having survived her mother, th late marchioness, little more than two years. The Rev. Richard Cattley, M.A.., of Worcester Col lege, Oxford, curate of St. Margaret's, King's Lynn, bas been appointed to a minor canonry in Worcester Ca thedral. The half-yearly 'dividend court of the Bank of Eng land is called for the 15th inst. M. Soyer has passed through Paris on his way to Constantinople, where, as is known, he has offered to act gratuitously in preparing food for the patients in the English hospital. THE LATE GENERAL SAMUEL BROWN.—By the demise of this officer, a colonel in the army will obtain the rank of general officer. General Brown had been connected with the army for upwards of 57 years. He served in Egypt, Portugal, and Spain, with distinction, and was several times employed on secret and special missions. DEATH OF SIR JOHN MORRIS, BART.—This gentleman died on the 4th inst., aged 79. The deceased was son of the first baronet by the daughter of Sir Philip Mus grave, Bart. He married in 1809 the youngest daughter of the fifth Viscount Torrington. Sir John is succeeded in his title and estates by his son, John Armine, born in 1813. The family property is situate in Glamorganshire. THE FREEMASONS AND THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—At a meeting of the Grani Lodge of England last evening, it was almost unanimously resolved, upon the motion of the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland, M.W.G.M., se conded by the Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, R.W.D.G.M., that 1,000/. should be presented to the Patriotic Fund from the Grand Lodge funds. HARMONIC UNION.—This society had their second concert of the season last evening, at the Hanover square Rooms. It was much more successful than the previous concert, notwithstanding the serious disap pointment caused by the inability of Mr. Sims Reeves (from the united effects of indisposition and a domestic affliction) to go through the labours of the evening. He sang, iwith• effort, through the Lobesang ; but, in the second piece, the Stabar M a ter of Rossini, was replaced by Mr. Herberte. Mrs. Sims Reeves, also, was unable to appear, and her place was supplied by Madame Weiss. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—His Royal High ness the Duke cf Cambridge, with their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Ktiesebeck, honoured the Diorama illustrating the Events of the War with a visit ore Wed nesday evening. The Earl of Cardigan paid a second visit to the Gallery on Wednesday afternoon. THE BERNAL COLLECTION.—The interest excited by the dispersal of this collection increases as the sale pro ceeds, and some of the prices realised by the choice lots are fabulously high. The three days' sale have realised upwards of 6,0001. There are two more days' sale of porcelain, and on Saturday the first portion of the pic tures wili be sold. EXHIBITION OF THE SIEGE OF SEBASToFOL AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yesterday,A private view was given at the Crystal Palace of a topographical model of Sebas topol and its environs, on a sufficienity large scale to con vey to the visitor tolerably accurate notions of the nature of the siege ground and the relative positions of the con tending forces. The space represented is 17 miles from Cape Chersonesus northwards, by 13 miles from east to west, and therefore including Balaklava, the extensive valley of the Tchernaya, and all the ground immediately around Sebastopol which is covered by the camp and fortificationgof the contending forces. The scale adopted is eight inches to the mile. The Earl of Darnley, accompanied by Major Roys, paid a visit to the invalids at Fort Pitt last week. On asking them if there was anything in particular they should wish to be provided with, the gallant fellows said they were well provided with everything, but still there was one thing which they had a strong wish for, and that was some pewter pots, as "they liked the taste of the beer better out of pewter." His lordship smiled, and at once gave the order for a supply to Joe purchased for them. He has also ordered them to be supplied with a daily newspaper at his expense, and has provided them with a large number of entertaining books for their amusement. After leaving the establishment the noble earl purchased several pounds' worth of stationary, postage stamps, &c., which he directed should be sent to the hospital for the wounded.—SowtheEnstern Gazette. The rite of confirmation was on Monday administered to the Princess Charlotte, slaughter of the King of the Belgians, by the Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin. The ceremony was celebrated with a certain pomp in the chapel of the palace of Laeken. The King and the Count de Flandre were present, as were also all the great officers of the household and a number of person ages of distinction. THE AMERICAN PACKET-SHIP STATIRA MORSE, The StaVraMerse, 'which was stranded lately on the Ayrshire coast, and was sold as she lay on the sands for under 1,0001., changed hands on Friday again for 2,500/., and a very cheap b"rgain even at that. Shortly after the ship went on shore the first purchaser sent a band of navvies down, and in a most unscientific but successfully eommon-sense way dug a canal to float her to sea ; and when taken to Glasgow she was at once re pair::;, and is as sound as ever. The Statira Moree is about 550 tons burden, was built in the United States in 1850, and has been well known as a regular trader to the Clyde.— Granock. A dart isei. It was very generally rumoured iu Dublin yesterday that Chief Baron Pigot had resigned on account of con tinued ill-health, and that Mr. Brewster, the late .A.ttor• noy-General, would be appointed to the vacant seat in the Court of Exchequer. It was also rumoured that Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Q.C., bad been appointed law ad viser to the Castle, vico Mr. Col-bailie, Q.C., resigned. THE MORNA.—Loss OF TWENTY-ONE LlVES.—Tweive of the crew of this unfortnrat3 vessel arrived in Dublin on Saturday morning by the Liverpool boat. They bring the inelancholY tidings of the loss of the chief en gineer, Mr. Green, and twenty of the recruits. This event took place almost alongide the Marna.

BERLIN, THURSDAY. General von Wedell left Berlin last night for Paris, with fresh instructions from the King. The following is the complete despatch fro m Admiral Bruat, a summary of which appeared in our edition of yesterday : " KAMIESH, ON BOARD THE MON TEBELLO, FEB. 24. "The Russians appear to have abandoned the positions which they occupied opposite to Ertl:a tm-is ; in their retreat they set fire to the villages in which they had established themselves. " In the night between the 22d and 23d of February the garrison of Sebastopol had estab lished important works of counter-approach oppo site our works on the counter-fort of the plateau which descends towards Littlo Careening Bay. " The Commander-in-Chief ordered these works to be carried in the night between the 23d and 24th of February by the troops of the 2d corps. This affair does the greatest honour to our army, and increases, if possible, the ascendancy which it has not ceased to excercise over the enemy. " Our losses amount, it is said, to 100 wounded. "The Louis IV. and the Marengo are on the eve of leaving for France." THE TURKISH EXPEDITION IN THE CRIMEA. EUPATORIA, Feb. 20.—Early this morning, about 4 o'clock, we an had alarm, but a false one. The cavalry videttes came in with the news that the Russians were quite close, but according to one accoun they had mistaken some Tartars working in the Russian cemetery for Russians. According to another version it was only in imagination they saw the enemy. The Russians have quite retired out of sight, except their usual cavalry videttes on some of the tumuli further on. One could see the greatest part of their infantry fall back towards Saki, and the cavalry towards Ovaz, which is supposed to be their head-quarters. During the late action our guns have set fire to some buildings behind, but I cannot tell you what they were. There are people kere who believe that the Rus sians have given up the idea of taking the place, and retired altogether. This seems to me a rather precipitate conclusion, and I am much more in clined to think that they are waiting for reinforce ments, having found it impossible to take the place with the forces they already possess. But even if this latter supposition be the true one, the advantage will be on both sides , for we shall have likewise time to prepare and to strengthen our position. In this respect a great deal has been done during the last two days. In going over the ground to- ay I found all the bodies buried ; numbers of Tartars were working, under the direction of French soldiers of marine, to throw down the wall of enclo sure of the Russian-Greek cemetery, as well as of the Turkish burial-ground, both of which had served the other day as a protection for forming the columns of attack. Both these cemeteries are full of solid stone monuments, of several feet in height, which form an excellent cover for riflemen. The Tartars were therefore levelling them too. The parties which have been sent out all over the field to bury the dead found 453 bodies. If one reckons now the numbers whom one could see carried off by the Russians during the battle, their loss must have been great, considering the short time the whole affair lasted (about three hours), and considering that only one attack of infantry, and that a short one, took place. Among the Russian dead on the field was found a woman, the body of the Greek Bishop of Eupatoria, and of the commander of the Greco-Slave Legion whiei had been form3d by the Russians last year out of the Greeks settled in Moldo-Wallachia, and out of the Bulgarians who followed the Russians after their retreat from Silistria. Another woman was-likewise killed, but carried off. The loss of the Turks amounts to about 300 men, among whom 70 to 80 killed. Their heaviest loss is SeEm Pasha the commander of the Egyptian troops, ono of the most distinguished of the Turkish native officers, a brave man, and much beloved by his soldiers. According to the latest information we have to do with Osten Sacken's corps, under the immediate command of Liprandi. Prince Menschikeff him self was present in the battle, and, according to an on, dit, in the very carriage which was fired upon by the Turks from one of their 1 atteries, and nar rowly escaped being hit. Menscbikoff is said to . have returned. FRB: 21.—Among the now arrivals are the guir- boats, the Arrow and - the Lynx, very welcome both, as they can approach in the shallow water quite close to the shore, and thus help in the de fence of the place. BALAKLATA. THE SORTIE OF THE 24TH. FEB. 24, 4 a.m.—l was woke up shortly after two o'clock this morning by the commencement of one of the most furious cannonades we have heard since the siege began. The whole line of the Russian batteries from our left opened with inconceivable force and noise, and the In kerman batteries began playing on our right ; but the French were most exposed to the weight of this most terrible fire, which shook the very earth, and lighted up the skies with in cessant lightning flashes for an hour and a half. Under cover of it a very strong sortie has been made, and for half an hour the musketry rolled inces santly with volume and vigour enough for a general action. I have just this moment returned in the dark, both physically and mentally, and I am unable to discover what was done by all this sound and fury. I fear to have to report some heavy losses, for it is impossible that so much gun powder and bail could have been thrown away. The roaring of the shot and shell was terrific —a continuous scream like that of a locomo tive whistle heard in the depths of a tunnel. The instant the fire opened I got out of my blankets, and went towards the front, but I could see nothing but a blaze of fire before the trenches ; our 'bat teries were silent. As no person—not an officer even unless he be actually on duty—will be per mitted to go down to the works or beyond the in lying sentries and pickets, I can at this hour of the morning tell you no more than that the firing has now ceased, and I have returned with the impression that a very serious affair has taken place. . Judging from the weight and extent of the fire the Russians must have been in•large bodies— perhaps a sortie of 2,500 or 3,000 men, and as they were splendidly covered by the fire of their bat teries, I do not think they could have suffered much when they were finally repulsed. The post leaves at seven o'clock, and if I CAIII get any parti culars about this affair I will write another letter. As yet no one has heard anything about it. Every one is up. The reserve companies of the regiments in trenches are all under arms. The cannonade lasted from 2.15 a..m. to 3.50 a.m. In much of the time they fired, as I counted, 15 guns in 30 seconds, and sometimes the reports came in regular salvoes, and the flashes leaped forth in great flares of solid fire, so that it was im possible to tell what number of guns the enemy were working. The echoes of the reports towards the close among the hills in the distance were tre mendous, and increased the tumult. FRANCE. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The following private telegraphic despatches lave been received : " The Clyde which arrived yest er day at Marseilles, brings news diat the 6th division, supported by the 9th, is specially besieging the Tower Malakoff. The new Russian batteries which command the Tchernaya endeavoured in vain to interrupt the operations of the allied troops. The works are impeded by bad weather. On the 20th, 18 Russian battalions marched on Balaklava. General BosquA with 25,000 men, English and French, made his arrangements to cut off their retreat during the night, but a violent storm and fall of snow prevented an encounter, and the Russians and our troops returned to their former positions. It is said that Prince Menschikoff has sent his cavairy to Perekop for want of forage. General Cassagnolles has formed a Commission at Constantinople to purchase horses to remount the French cavalry. The price of wheat has fallen at Constantinople. The Inflexible line of-battle ship, the Orenoque frigate, and the For tune corvette, aro about to return to Toulon. Generals tilled. and Ali, of the army of Kars, have been degraded, and are now in prison." " TRIESTE, Gth.—Accounts from Smyrna, of the 28th ult., state that a collision took place between the Cairo and Loucisor steam packets, near the island of Mitylene. Several persons are said to have been seriously wounded." " WARSAW, 6th.—General Tutschek has b3en ap pointed military governor of Warsaw, in the room of General Rudiger, who is to have the command of an army." HAMBURG, sth.—The governments of Minsk and Mohilew have just been declared in a state of siege and the government of Tchernigo has been placed under the Orders of Prince Paskiewitch." The Emperor yesterday received replies from the Dukes of Saxe Coburg Gotha and Altenburg to letters of recall of the Marquis de Ferriere le Vayer, and to the letters of credence of the Prince de Latour d'Auvergue. The ministerial crisis in Belgium has as yet scarcely advanced a step. The Independance of Brussels of yesterday says :—" We ate assured that M. Delfosse, president of the Chamber of Repre sentatives, who is at present at Liege, has been summoned to Brussels, and is to be received this day by the King." BOURSE, MArtoa 7.—CLOSING PRICES.

A letter from Berlin, of the 4th, says :—" Things are not seen in such a favourable light as at the first moment ; it is not now believed that the new Emperor will make new concessions. The failure of the negotiations of General de Wedell and the exclusion of Prussia from the Conferences, which is the consequence of it, produce a bad impression. The King personally clings more closely than ever to hia point of view, for he considers the last words of the Emperor Nicholas as a sacred obligation imposed to him. As to the Western Powers, as they are making war on Russia and not on the Emperor of Russia, it is not thought that they will modify their policy or their pretensions in the slightest degree." The Military Gazette of Vienna has the follow ing :—" It is known that a son of Schfunyl had been educated in Russia, and raised to the rank of officer in a Russian regiment. The father, being desirous of having his son restored to him, addressed himself to the Emperor for that purpose, who gave the young officer leave to return home, but at the same time let him know that if he would turn Chris tian and remain in the Russian service, he should enjoy the rank and title of prince. Schamyl's son, however, preferred returning to his father ; where upon it was recommended to impose upon la im the condition never to fight against Russia ; but the Emperor declared that henceforth he must be under the authority of his father, and that he must be allowed to depart unconditionally ; which he accordingly did." A letter from Vienna says :—" It is Count Frederick Thun-Hohenstein, formerly President of the Diet and subsequently Ambassador at Ber lin, who is to replace at. Verona Count de Reelk berg, as civil administrator of the Lombard and Venetian provinces. As to the post of Governor of Venice, it is reserved for Count Bessenger, who is at present Governor of the Tyrol." The New Zurich, Gazette quotes letters from Bellinzona, of the 4th, stating that the vote on the new constitution was going on at that time, and that the votes of 27 out of 38 districts were already known—one only out of that number proved un favourable. The German Journal of Frankfort states from Rome that the Papal Nuncio at Vienna, Monsignor Viale Prela, is to bo recalled to Rome, wh ere h e is to succeed Cardinal Antonelli as Secretary of State. The German press agree in representing the new Sovereign of Russia as being animated by pacific sentiments. The National Gazette of Berlin goes so far as to affirm, that the Czar Nicholas carries with him into the tomb the influence which Russia exercised in Europe. A Russian prisoner brought to France after the capture of Bomarsuud was lately tried at Rochelle, by a Court-martial, for stealing a pair of boots, and condemned to a year's imprisonment, which he is to undergo in the military prison at Toulouse, whither he has been sent. Ms name is Savalieff , aged 35, and he has been 17 years in the Russian service. A retrograde movement of the Russian troops has taken place on the Dniester, on the south eastern frontier of Galicia. A letter from Tar nopol says that the 30,000 men who had taken up a position on the right bank of the Dniester, to the north of Bessarabia, and to the south of the circle of Gorftew are now concentrated in the eolvirons of the little town of Zwan'ce, and have only left a garrison of 4,000 men in the frontier fortress of Choeiin. These facts appear to confirm the opinion generally credited that the movements of the Russian army on the Austrian frontier are defensive. At Nicolasieff, in the government of Kherson, four new regiments of infantry are being raised by Gen. Wiesniew ski. General Luders is still at Odessa on account of health. On the 27th Feb., the Pope issued the follouring decree ;—" Entire freedom is restored to the towns and ports of Ancona and Civita Vecchia, such as they enjoyed before the law of the Ist Feb., 185 0 , which stands abrogated. The Minister of Finance is charged with the execution of the present decreer which is to come into operation on the Ist March." ~ ~ ;--- ~., :~ 14,1 11 , itata L it market al t liric eß of Arne The gales E ),!,s°o were for 11 450 .

The Piedmontese Gazette, in an ext: number, publishes the following " Mande Government of his Majesty the King of Victor Emanuel 11., relative to the a( hi 3 Majesty to the treaty of the 10th 1854, between France and England :—. " For a long time Europe has regarded wi jealous suspicion the continual aggrandisement the progressive application of that system whir Great inaugurated, more naturalised in the nat than in the Muscovite Sovereigns, and tending forces, visible and invisible, to the conquest of nople, not as a final end, but as a beginning new and more unmeasured ambitions.
