The last letters from St. Petersburg are of the 24th December. According to the Russian accounts, the Emperor will have the following armies in the field next spring :-1. The Crimean army of 120,000 men in the field and 30,000 in Sebastopol. 2. The Tchernomorish (Cossacks of the Kuban) army, 40,000 men. 3. The Danubian army, 40,000 men. 4. The army in Lithuania and Volhynia, 120,000 men. 5. The Baltic army, 60,000 men. 6. The reserve army, 80,000 men. No mention is made either of the Guard and Grenadier corps in Poland, or of the Caucasian army. The garrison of Odessa has been frequently changed lately, but it is pro bably a gross exaggeration to say that it is now 50,000 strong. The reinforcements come and go, and the great public knows nu more of the real strength of the garri son than do the Viennese burghers of the exact number of troops now in this city. A NEW RUSSIAN RIFLE Coßrs.—A private letter from St. Petersburg states that the crown serfs have offered the Emperor Nicholas a contingent of 60,000 men, who are to he employed as sharpshooters. Among them are to be all the ermine hunters, who are estimated at 20,000. These are said to be skilful marksmen, who pass their whole lives on the banks of the Ural or the Oby, in the chace of the fox, the beaver, and the ermine. It is known that this animal can only be aimed at from a considerable distance, and must be hit in the nose to avoid injuring the skin. The whole of these hunters, so the letter says, are to be immediately organised and sent to the Crimea. They are to be armed with the Minie rifle, The Monarch, 84, Captain Lyster, sailed from Devon• port on Sunday (taking a mail for the Brazils) for the Pacific. Tbo Ajax, 60, Captain Warden, got her steam up yesterday alongside Portsmouth dockyard to try her boilers, &c.

RECRUITING DEPARTMENT. The following circular has been issued : " Horse Guards, Jan. 5, 1855. "MEMORANDUM. "It being very desirable that the recruits enlisted for the infantry should be of sufficient age and strength to enter upon their duties as soldiers, the General Com manding-in-Chief directs, that until further orders no recruit of the class of growing !ads be received below the age of 17 years. "By command. "G. A. WETHERALL, A.G." APPOINTMENTS. Commander Diehard D. White (1847) bas been ap pointed to the Desperate, serew-steAtner, and Lieutenant Joseph S. Rundle (1339) to the Impregnable flagship at Devonport. Lieutenant M‘Leod B. Cockcroft (1544), Fiist Lieu tenant of the Imp6rieuse, 51, screw steam•frigate at Portsmouth, is promoted to be commander. THE CANDIA AT PORTSMOUTH. - Portsmouth dockyard was yesterday again the scene of one of those distressing disembarkations, which we may expect to become now frequent until the horrors of war shall have abated. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's screw transport Candia arrived at Spithead at half past 11, and at 3 she steamed into Ports mouth harbour. We are happy to say this time the comfort and care of the poor fellows were amply pro vided for, and hours before all the naval and military heads were at work providing the best means at their dispoial for the ease and comfortable landing of the sick. There was no lack of superior supervision this time ; the Major-General commanding (pro tem.) Portsmouth gar rison, Sir rrederick Smith, K.H., R.E. ; Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin ; Brigade-Major Dalgetty4;,Flag Lieutenant Waddilove ; Colonel Lord Methuen, orthe Royal Wilts Militia ; Master-Attendant Underwood, R.N.; and small armies of assistants, told off in files, with naval cots fitted as hand-stretchers, blankets'-lied ding, &c., and a number.of omnibuses or covered vans, ranged along in baggage-train array, were a ll i n wait i ng long before the ship was lashed alongside the dockyard jetty, to render help, each in his allotted position, and each seemed to vie with the other in alacrity when his turn came to " bear a hand." The mere " brow" or unprotected gangboard from the side of the ship to the jetty, which served the Himalaya's unfortu , and carpe n t er s nate freight, gave place to-day to well -stepped and sub stantial were bu s y d a o t u b theml e-r a ial as d soonlanding the stagesehi was hauled along side, and made them qnite secure. Sir Frederick Smith and Colonel Lord Methuen were most indefatigable in ‘ personally directing the movements of those under their and pursued with orders, and, as a consequence, the work of disembarka teiaorne was d e nt e rd diligence medical staff of the garrison was most assiduous w ith its important aid.; the wounded were removed to sick eupon un w ti i l th t p h r e ep shriiepty was as clear e d. Th e quarters under personal medical superintendence ; and all engaged in the melancholy duty received the readiest and most cordial assistance from Capt. Field and the officers and crew of the Candia, whose number of inva lids amounted to 194. The most seriously wounded were removed to hospital in Portsmouth garrison (which we were told had only 8 beds vacant before this ar r i va l), and the others to sick quarters for the night in barracks. All able to bear the journey will to-day be forwarded by the Brighton and London Railway to the military hospital at Chatham. We noticed a vast number of naval and civil officers present at the . disembarkati on i n the dockyard ; among them—Captain Warden, of her Majesty's ship Ajax ; Captain the Hon. Joseph Den man ; Capt. W. H. Hall, of the Blenheim ;. Captain Harris, of the Illustrious ; Capt. Savage, R.M.A.; the Hon. Fitzgerald A. Foley, R.N.; Lieutenant and Ad jutant Long, R.D.Y.B. ; Mr. W. J. Hay, R.N. ; Major Corbet Edwards, R.D.Y.8.; and many ladies. THE TROOPS AND TRANSPORTS. Her Majesty's crew steamer, St. Jean d'Acre, 600- horse power, Captain the Hon. 11. Keppel, which left Plymouth at 4 o'clock on Wednesday evening, having on board Major-General Lord Rokeby and Major- General Barnard, nominated to commands in the British Expedition, arrived in Queenstown on the following day, at half-past 3 o'clock, to embark troops for the Crimea. Immediately on her arriral being made known, the bag gage and guards of the different draughts were got ready and sent on board in a few hours. The following is a correct list of the men sent from the different regiments, with the names of the offic3rs accompanying them ; they embarked on Friday morning :-51 of the 63d, with Lieutenants Hunt and Hand ; 61 of the 30th, with Capt. Robertson and Lieutenant Hill ; 97 of the 33d, with Captain Ellis, Lieutenant Wallis, and Ensign Ellis; 109 of the 41st, with Captain Bertram, Lieutenant Lambert, and Lieutenant Nowlan ; 67 of the 47th, with Captain Colth rust, Lieutenant Th fw o s n iott l hth p he s .z on sen , s4:to n ffi d wee E irts n hic s ; i ustaiL g 4 r i i se s uit T ocefe r n a nt : hn i 9e s t B a oB n a d t n h A y : 98th—no r ° 6 0 w 7 1 fi e :: thrla7.; 13 4 3 f 9 9 t t h h e a , of the 57th, with Captain Brown and - Ash win. The St. Jean d'A cre sailed at 7 o clock on Satur day morning„ — Lord William Lennox, one of whose sons is an officer on board the" ship, sailed - with /ref sumo distance out of the harbour, and returned by the pilot boat. Such was the baste used in the embarkation, and eo sudden was her arrival, that several officers who should have embarked in her were absent on a shooting excursion, and were unable to go on board with the draughts of their regiments. We trust that these gentle men will be relieved from any further interference with their snipe shooting and left to pursue that engrossing amusement. Since our last notice on the subject of the transport service, when we gave the totals of the sailing vessels and steamers employed by Government for the convey ance of troops and stores to the Crimea, the following vessels have been also taken up for the service, viz., No. 165 transport, Lady Eglinton steamer ; No. 166, Union steamer ; 167, Foyle steamer ; No. 168, Prompt steamer ; No. 169, Marley Hill steamer ; No. 170, Kangaroo steamer ; No. 171, Eagle steamer ; No. 172, Peninsular steamer • No. 173, Bl ac k B oy steamer ; N o. 174, Whitley Park steamer ; No. 175, Cochrane steamer ; No. 176, Canadian steamer. Consequently 12 more steamers have, within the last 10 days, been added to this fleet, now comprising 109 sailing vessels and 67 steamers. The Duke of Cornwall (Irish steam-packet) left Ports- mouth yesterday for Dublin, taking a number of the women and children who arrived lately in the Himalaya. MISCELLANEOUS. Captain North, 60th Royal Rifles, in command of the depot at Chatham, is ordered to join th e serv i ce com panies of his carpsin India ; and Captain Williams, who is on leave to the Ist of February, is ordered to join at Chatham to take the command of the depot. Assistant-Surgeon Lynch proceeds from the garrison hospital, Chatham, to Portsmouth, to embark in medical charge of detachments on board the ship Charlotte Jane for Ilarbadoes. A letter from Metz says :--" During the larit month we have sent by railway for Marseilles and Toulon, for the army of the East, upwards of a million of congreve rockets, large bombs, and howitzer -shells, and 150,000 kilog. of gunpowder. A young officer of cavalry, in a lively letter to his father, admitting his severe privations, but undepressed by them, gives the following account of his clothing : a p e a -jacket with anchor b u tt ons , an d hi s own A pair of large sailor's boots, a pa i r of coarse sa i lor ' s trousers, old foraging cap, the last remnant of his regimental rags. MILITARY. The undernamed officers at Chatham garrison have obtained leave of absence for periods herein stated : Major W. 11. Kirby , 94 th , to March 2 ; Captain Joseph A Captain Baillie, s th N orthumb erland Fusiliers, to m Sy a k r e c s h , 49th, Lieut. to ut Feb. 0. 20; pr ja ulx Captain , A. Campbell, 94th, to 94th, to Feb. 5 ; and March 10. Acting Assistant -Surgeon W. E. Lynch is relieved from duty at Chatham, for the purpose of proceeding to Portsmouth to embark in the ship Charlotte Jane, for Barbad oes. Captain Henry F. Williams, 60th Royal Rifles, has obtained leave to Feb. 1, when he is to join the depot at Chatham, for the purpose of relieving Captain Charles Napier North, who is now in command of the depot, this latter officer being ordered to join the service com panies in India. Colonel Ouppage, RA., commanding the Ordnance force in Limerick and district, is now senior of the lieu tenant-colonels of the Royal Artillery. As the sth, 17th, and 89th depots will be formed into a provisional battalion shortly in Limerick, we (Limerick Chronicle) trust that the County Limerick Regiment will net be moved from the castle, for that most disorganising ordeal to a newly raised battalion, distribution on billet, while the Boherbuoy auxiliary is available for barrack accommodation. General Lord Gough is named in the military circles of Vienna as the successor of the late Brigadier -General Du Plat, RE., as the r epresentative of England at the Austrian head-quarters. The colonelcies of the 7th Fusiliers and 36th Regi ment are now vacant. Accounts from Cork state that nnrn'oers of the militia continue to enlist into the line. The 39th draught has by this means acquired a considerable accession of strength. It is stated that a large number of men be longing to the North Cork Militia Regiment were un able to attend at Buttevant on the Ist of January, as appointed, in consequence of having no money to pay their fares. They marched to the terminus at Kilbarry, where they were told they would not be conveyed-to Buttevant unless they paid their fares. They, conse quently, were unable to attend at the rendezvous, and were therefore entered on the book as deserters, to escape the consequences of which they have enlisted by scores into the 39th Regiment. Captain Hawkins' troop of Royal Artillery, at pre sent stationed in Portobello Barracks, Dublin, will re ceive orders on Saturday for immediate embarkation to Woolwich, there to join several other troops of the 53,1110 corps, en route to the Crimea. Captain, Hawking,' THE MILITIA. The forts Militia, now assembled at Hertford, are to remain there at constant drill for three months. Since Wednesday 50 men have volunteered into the regiment of Vie line. The following officers have now joined the corps :—Colonel the Marquis of Salisbury, Lieut.- Colonel Dorien, Major J. Foskett, Captains W. Franks, F. C. Gaussen, T. Rogers, A. Mee'herke, 0. F. Trim mings, R. V. D. Vernon, and W. G. Gale ; Lieutenants R. L. Bayliff, J. B. Myers, and the Hon. C. Grirnston ; Ensigns H. Bingham, H. Ballett, and C. W. White ; Adjutant, Captain James ; and Surgeon, Dr. Davies. During the past week the barracks at Dorchester be. came vacant by the removal of the last lot of convicts, who were sent from the prisons in consequence of the breaking out of the cholera. These buildings have since been occupied by the Dorset Regiment of Militia, who, under Colonel Bingham, are now being exercised preparatory to their selection for garrison duty. The Marquis of Salisbury has received the order for the immediate embodiment of the Royal Elthorne Light Infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel-Commandant the Hon. F. Villiers. The whole of the field officers and captains of this corps formerly served in the line. The Kent Regiment of Artillery Militia assembled on Wednesday last on parade ground in Dover t i astle, for permanent service, under the command of Colonel Cator, late of the Royal. Artillery. They now muster nearly 200, and are continually increasing their strength 13y enlistment, so that in a short period it is probable 'they will be &lied up to the.required number. TILE CAMPS OF THE ALLIED ARMIES. The following account of the camps of the Allied armies is from the correspondence of the Cologne Gazette, and contains the evidence of an impartial observer : "CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 25.—A friend of your cor respondent, who left the Crimea a few days since, gives the following description of the camp of the Allies : " Chersonesus, where most merchant ships land, is the nearest point to the French camp. Here everything hai an appearance of care and comfort. On every side the French have laid down paved roads, along which, despite the unfathomable mud of the Crimea, they trans port with the greatest ease their guns and provisions, and march without difficulty from one point to another. Their huts and tents stand in regular rows, and at the entrance of each street there are signposts to indicate the way. A strict camp police is established, and prevents the accumulation of dirt and rubbish. Between the tents innumerable baking-ovens are erected—some of stone, others port able—in which fresh bread is being continually baked, so that the French soldier is not obliged, like the Eng lish soldier, to content himself with biscuit, which en genders scurvy. Without awa'ting the providence of their Government, they have erected warm huts, from wood collected and partly taken from demolished Tartar huts, and the smoke of their chimneys curls up plea santly in the air. Under these circumstances there is more joviality in the French than in the English or l i Turkish camp. The men talk, tell tales, sing, and work merrily. The clothing of officers and men is as clean as if they were simply doing hard garrison duty. The Zouaves amuse the camp at night by stealing out individually, climbing the Russian outworks, and planting French flags upon them. The Rus sians are bamboozled, as at night fires are lit at quite solitary spots, upon which they fire away as hard as they can. General Canrobert, despite his wounds, is to be seen daily in the camp, but General Bosquet is the favourite of the men. The Turkish camp, which is next to the French, offers a miserable aspect—dirt, torn tents, uniforms which can scarcely be recognised as uniforms, and soldiers that can scarcely be taken for soldiers. Nevertheless, they squat down quietly in the mud, and smoke their pipes with complacency. Any one coining from Stamboul is welcomed by them with as much joy as if they were thousands of miles from that city. Of the Englishmen and their bravery they speak with the greatest admiration, and cannot find words enough to praise their deeds at Inkerman ; but they com plain of their brusque manners. We have already said so much respecting the English camps that we shall only give the description of our friend in a few words. "On the whole, it is the contrast of the French camp ; there are no roads, if we except one made recently . to convey the terrible mortars. On all sides, between the torn tents, dead cattle, horses, and oxen are rotting, and no one thinks of removing the pest-bringing carcases. Officers and men are so badly off for clothes that they may be placed on a par with the Turks. The officer does not give -hirtreetf-itrerstighseee.sweisigoalatatiaskrtoriLibout the fate of the private. his food, dress, or she ter`; leaves all that to the care of the commissariat. Lord Raglan lives in his house, and for days together is not visible. The wooden huts sent from England lie dis,jecta ?umbra in the water, and will lie there useless, unless the nails for putting them together arrive out. Is,ly friend, who is a merchant, had the opportunity of making some characteristic observations—among others, that the Englishmen always asked for brandy and cham pagne, while the Frenchmen asked for needles and thread. Before every English bureau he observed empty casks and broken champagne and brandy bottles. The inhabitants of the villages which lie scattered be tween Sebastopol and Balakiava, at first the friends, have become, in consequence of probably necessary se vere treatment, the bitter enemies of the allies, so that they are feared as spies, and not one of them is allowed to leave his hut without an escort. DZy infor mant also had a close view of the besieged fortress. He declares that there is not the slightest indication of a breach, and that the walls of Sebastopol appear intact and unapproachable. To his question, ' When will thB place be taken ?' a Zouave replied, ' When there are three Thursdays in one week Despite this reply the whole camp is eager for the assault. General Caurobert never rides through the camp without being followed by cries of L'assaut mon General,' from all quarters. "A witness of the sally of the \Vladimir from the port, he assures me that, though she did go out, she pro ceeded timidly enough, and as soon as the Terrible got under way steamed back again as fast as she could. In returning the Wladimir missed the small entrance, and ran foul of the mast of one of the sunken ships, which protruded melancholy enough out of the water. The English fleet are in great hopes that Sir Edmund Lyons will succeed Admiral Dundas in the command. Sir Edmund Lyons is looked upon as the most active, clever, and energetic officer of the Black Sea fleet. It is a fact that the masterly embarkation of the troops at Varna, the well-organised plan of sailing, and the suc cessful landing at Eupatoria, were all managed by him. It is also a fact that no man is so well acquainted with the Russo-European and Asiatic coast as Sir Edmund Lyons ; as he devoted the idle time at Beycos and Kavarna to investigations and surveys. Of his daring he has on more than one occasion given brilliant proofs." THE FBEITCH BLACK SEA FLEET. A letter from the Bay of Kamiesh, 23d ult., in the Moniteur de la Flotte, says :—" Nothing of importance has taken place in the siege operations since my last letter. New batteries are being raised ; the 70 heavy guns landed from the fleet are in position, and supplied with ammunition for a well-continued fire. The Napoleon arrived on the 16th with troops and artillery materiel. She has completely repaired all the damages she sus tained in the heavy gale ; she is a wonderful vessel, and now looks better than ever. The construction of the aqueduct which is to furnish us with spring water is going on rapidly, and in about a fortnight our boats will be able to get an abundant supply. The Veloce has brought us good news from Eupatoria. The small garrison of that place has been reinforced, and on the south side the road which was formerly open to the Cossacks is now closed to them, as it is under range of the guns of the Henry IV., which has become a complete citadel. Admiral Hamelinon the 21st received the account of his promotion. On the 23d he banded over the command to Vice-Admiral Bruat, who published the following order of the day : " Officers and seamen—We are about to lose our worthy chief ; his illustrious services have received their reward. After' having called on me to second him, the Emperor has called on me to replace him. Faithful to the traditions bequeathed to us by a glorious past, we shall continue to lend to our valiant army and to our brave Allies that warm co-operation to which he has already rendered such flattering and cordial justice. On the day of combat the same patriotic cry will still rally us round the flag of France—Vive l'Empereur ! ' " There are now stationed before Sebastopol the French ships of the line Napoleon and Jean-Bart, the Panama steam-frigate, and. the Primauguet steam-corvette, and the English ships of the line Agamemnon, Hannibal, and Algiers, as well as two frigates of the English nation. In the interior of the Bay of Kamiesh, there are the French ships of the line Montebello, Marengo, and Alger, as well as several frigates and corvettes. In the Bay of Streletska (the nearest point to the entrance )f Sebastopol), which is placed under the command of Captain d'Herbinghem, there are the Vauban steam-frigate, the Caton steam-corvette, and the bomb-vessel Vautour. There are several English ,line-of-battle ships and other Yerssela in the Bay of Kazatcb. These forces are sufficient to meet a ll eventualities. The Russians have just disarmed five more of their ships ; they have now only two line-of-battle ships fully armed. Since the hurri cane of the 14th November there has been no more bad Weather in the Black Sea, and the condition of our ships of war is excellent. The greatest pre cautions have been taken, and whatever may be the state of the weather and sea the communications are secured for the whole winter between Constan tinople and the Crimea. All the coast from the mouth of the Bay of Streletska, to the extremity of Cape Chersonesus has been fortified by th e navy in a very remarkable manner ; lighthou ses h ave been placed there, and the service of the roadsted is carried on in the most regular manner. ' ACCEPTANCE BY RUSSIA OF THE POUR POINTS. (Frain the Tinzcz.) We have no doubt that the statement forwarded to us yesterday morning by our Vienna corre spondent is strictly correct, and that a conference was held on the 7th inst. between the Plenipoten tiaries of the allied Courts and the Russian Mi nister, at which Prince Gortschakoff at length de clared that he was authorised to tender the uncon ditional acceptance by the Emperor of Russia of the Four Points, with the interpretation affixed to them by France, England, and Austria, as preliminaries for the negotiation of peace. Whatever may be the result of this negotiation, on which we do not place any undue reliance, the submission of the Russian Government to the terms which it rejected with so much indignation about four months ago is au indisputable proof of the progress made by the Allied Powers, and of the ascendancy their policy has already acquired over their powerful adver sary. We pointed out yesterday in some detail, the occurrences which have marked the successful progress of last year's campaign, and the gradual but constant retreat of Russia from the terri torial encroachments she had attempted to grasp, and the political pretensions she had attempted to maintain. Of these, as they were put forward by Prince Menschikoff in the spring of J 853, not one remains. But it is a far more important and significant step for the Emperor of Russia to authorise his Minister to declare, not only that ho surrenders his protectorate of the Moldo-Wallachian provinces—not only that the navigation of the Danube shall be free—not only that the rights of the Christian subjects of the Porto shall become part of the common law of Europe—but that his own preponderance in the Black Sea shall cease by the means contemplated by those Powers which have invaded his territory and besieged Sebastopol. Fourteen days had been allowed by the Allies for this communication to be made to St. Petersburg, and for an answer to ar rive at Vienna, but scarcely half that time had elapsed when a telegraphic order was forwarded to Prince Gortschakoff to negociate at once upon the required basis. This order is therefore at least a distinct admission on the part of the Russian Go vernment that the claims and conditions of the Allied Powers'are just, and that peace may be re stored upon the principles for which they have uniformly contended. We do not lose sight of the fact that we have to deal with an antagonist versed in all the artifices of diplomacy, and unscrupulous in the use of them, and that the real object of the Emperor of Russia may be, not so much the re-establishment of peace on equitable terms, as the dissolution of the power ful coalition, which is prepared, after a short inter val, to wrest it from him. Whatever may have been said elsewhere of the treaty of the 2d of De cember, it is evident that this alliance of Austria with the Western Powers has produced the most powerful effect at St. Petersburg ; that the Czar has acknowledged without delay the imminent peril of a rupture with Germany, to which that treaty exposed him, and that lie has hastened with unexpected alacrity to conform, at least osten sibly, to the provisions of the sth article. The Austria* Government had given every mark of. a resolute determination to adhere to the great objects of the alliance, and to employ the means necessary to obtain them. In addition to its own vast military preparations, it has recently called upon Prussia to act upon the military convention of the 20th of April, and it has moved the Ger manic Diet to call out half the military contingents of the Confe leration. Every mark of confidence and courtesy is shown to France, even to giving a regiment in the Imperial service to the Emperor Louis Napoleon ; and in the same spirit of cordial assent to the triple alliance the lii , ihest military honours were paid the other day in 'Vienna to the reinains of the lamented. British Military Commis- sioner General Duplat. The Emperor of Austria. has -thus to , fified his conviction and his settled policy, whether for peace or -forwar, to abide - by . those securities which the alliance of Franco and England can alone afford him ; and, if the imme diate effect of the treaty of the 2d of \ December has been to extort from Russia the concessions she has already made, it may reasonably be expected that a firm adhesion to the principles of that alliance will accomplish all that it proposes to effect. If, therefore, this acceptance of the conditions of peace by the Emperor Nicholas is a mere artifice to weaken the league which is opposed to him, we be lieve that he will fail in that object, and that his sincerity will speedily be brought to some de cisive test. But, on the other hand, the very arguments we have ourselves used during the whole course of these transactions are still in fall force to urge the Emperor Nicholas to terminate this contest He is fighting in a cause in which success is hope less, and all he can expect to obtain by the greatest sacrifices is the honour of a stubborn defence. He has already isolated himself from Europe, and stands alone against a host of enemies, who were once his friends ; from the champion of order and of peace he has become its most wanton disturber, and he has annihilated the public engagements he professed to uphokl. Till new each successive concession which has been wrung from him came too late. His position has gone on from bad to worse ; and at the present moment, if peace be not re stored in the East, other questions are about to arise, other Powers will ere long be engaged, and all Europe will be involved in the conflagration. At this solemn moment, therefore, when this tre mendous responsibility rests upon him, and an obstinate persistence in war would justly expose him to the execration of the world, it is not im possible that the experience of the past year, the defeat of his armies, the blockade of his fleets, the defection of his former allies, the sufferings of his subjects, and the darker gloom which broods over the future, may have bent the stern will and the proud heart of the Czar, and taught him that the most absolute sovereigns are still bound by the law of nations and the rights of other States. At any rate, it would ill become us, who have engaged in this contest for a definite and limited purpose, to attempt to persist in it for one hour after the essential objects of the war have been obtained, and, as the British Government has hitherto deter mined, in conjunction with it allies, what were to be the limits of its intervention, so it will neces sarily participate in the resolutions they may adopt when those limits have been attained. We cannot too strongly repudiate the assumption, in which none of the Governments of Europe have ever shared, that this war is to bring about what is called a revision of the map of Europe, by means of con quests or revolutions in which this country, at least, has no sort of interest. On the contrary, it is the pride of the English and French Govern ments that this war has been undertaken for po litical purposes only ; that it has been conducted for no selfish objects, and stimulated by no pas sions of ambition or resentment, and that it may be concluded when those political objects are de finitively secured. At the same time, while we receive with satis faction the assurance of the Russian Government that a negotiation for the re-establishment of peace may now be commenced on the basis and interpre tation laid down by the Western Powers them selves, it is essential, while this negotiation is going on, to continue, with, if possible, increased vigour and promptitude, the military operations in which the Allied armies are now engaged. It has been repeatedly declared by the Allies that they will entertain no proposal for a suspension of hos tilities until the preliminaries of a definitive treaty of peace have been actually signed ; and one of the articles of the treaty of the 2d of December in cluded a somewhat similar provision. At the point at which the campaign in the Crimea has now ar rived, a strong hope may be entertained that, be fore the transactions to which we now refer can be known there at all, some decisive success will have been obtained by the Allied forces. The advan tage of such a victory would be incalculable, not only for the glory it would shed over the Anglo- French army by the accomplishment of one of the greatest enterprises of modern warfare, but also for the positive effect of the fall of Sebastopol in the future independence of the East. When the result of the campaign is achieved, it would be a tOrtUnate event for the world if this contest ohould (From the Daily News.) It appears impossible to doubt that Prince Gorts chakoff has been authorised to enter into negotia tions at Vienna on the basis of the four points, as they have been interpreted by the Allies. The telegraphic messages of our own correspondents coincide, in their announcement of this news, with the telegraphic intimations on the same subject received by our principal morning contemporaries, and a number of the first firms in the City. And. yet there is something quite unaccountable in the promptitude with which the Czar has consented to negotiate on this basis. On the 26th of last August, Count Nesselrode, in a despatch to Prince Gorts chakoff, characterised the four points as " condi tions which, if they were to remain as they have been actually submitted to us, suppose Russia to be already enfeebled by the exhaustion of a long war, and which, if the force of temporary circum stances forced us to submit to them, so far from assuring to Europe a solid, and especially a dura ble peace, such as the Austrian Government ap pears to expect, would only expose that peace to complications without end." And yet on the ith of january—seven days earlier than was required of it—the Russian Government is said to have pro fessed its readiness to negotiate on the basis of these conditions. Are we to understand from this that Russia is "already enfeebled by the exhaus tion of war ?" or that it su b m i ts to the conditions because its acceptance of them cannot load to " a solid and durable peace ?" Some recent demon strations in the Court of Prussia may throw a little light on these dark questions. The Austrian Cabinet, we are given to under stand, has, within the last few days, forwarded a note to Berlin, calling upon the Prussian Govern.. ment to mobilise its army, according to the terms of the treaty of the 10th of April. This request the Prussian Government has declined to comply with, on the ground that the terms of the treaty do not warrant it. At the same time orders have been issued to strengthen the artillery regimenta by the addition of a new battery of eight guns to each. The King has also been heard to declare that he will abide by his neutrality as long as ho can ; but that, if events shall render it advisabl e _ . to mobilise his army, he will take that step solely and exclusively with the view of enabling himself more effectually to urge moderation upon both par ties. By consenting to negotiate on the basis of the four points, the Czar obtains th e advantage o f confirming th e King of Prussia's faith ix his mode ration, and renders it probable that the Prussian army, when mobilised, may be rendered serviceable to Russia. By consenting to enter into negotia tions, which may be broken off at any time, the Czar gains the advantage of engendering and per petuating discord between the two great Powers of central Europe. There are circumstances connected with the rela tions between Russia and Austria which rather tend to add probability to this interpretation of the ready consent of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to negotiate. On the side of Austria there is the well grounded conviction that it will be exposed, in the event of a breach with Russia, to the most invete rate hostility of the Czar. What Nicholas regards as simple hostility on the part of France and Eng land, he would consider defe c ti on an d revo lt on the part of Austria. On the side of Russia, at least in ,the army, there exists the greatest contempt for the military force of Austria. It is their custom to call the Austrians " men in uniform," and not "soldiers." With perhaps the solitary exceptions of Rudiger and De Berg, there is not a Russian general who does justice to the Austrian army. Here, then, we have great fear on the aide of Aus tria opposed to overweening confidence on the part of Russia. There remains one important point to be noticed in connection with the two which have just been adverted to. Some ten or twelve months ago Russian agents are known to have been engaged iu sounding some of the Magnates of Hungary, with a view to ascertain whether they would be prepared, if the Czar were ready to guarantee the independence of their country, to take the Grand Duke Constantine for their King. Looking to the relative positions of Russia and Austria, and to the attitude assumed by Prussia, it is evident that Russia will enter upon the renewed negotiations with no inconsiderable advantages. It will require the sternest decision, the most peremp tory language, on the part of France and England, to keep the courage of Austria up to the sticking point, and prevent its sneaking out of its half-promises. Now what guarantee have we that the French and English Governments will show themselves ani mated by a spirit of stern decision, and that they will use peremptory language ! There has never been any explicit, official announcement of the in terpretaiien put by the Three Powers, parties to the treaty of the 2d of December, on the four points. The four points, as at first announced, embrace the discontinuance of Russia's exclusive protectorate of the Principalities ; the establish ment of the free navigation of the Danube ; the revision of the treaty of thel3th July,lB4l ; and the relinquishment by Russia of its claim to protect the Sultan's subjects of the Greek rite. Subse quently France and England have declared tliz..t the revision of the treaty of Kutchuk-Kainardji must be " in the sense of a limitation of the naval power of Russia in the Black Sea." In this inti mation there is an approach to precise and definite meaning winch elsewhere we look for in vain. This—the limitation of the naval power of Russia in the Black Sea—is the sheet anchor of the hopes of the nations of Europe in the present squally and uncertain weather. If the Allied. Governments part from it—if concessions are made to the sen sitive vanity of the Czar on this point—it will be utterly vain to hope for an honourable and lasting peace. Were we sure that the Allies would stand firm on this point, we would regard with utter indiffer ence the renewal of negotiations at Vienna, pro vided the war continued to be carried on with vigour while they were in progress. We feel con vinced that the Czar has not yet been sufficiently beaten to induce him to accept of this, to him, mortifying condition. But there is something about the language attributed to the English Cabinet which necessarily inspires misgivings. The readiness of the Czar to renew negotiations on the very terms which less than 6 months ago lie pro nounced inadmissible throws light on the confi- deuce with which an approaching peace was talked of in certain City circles on Friday last—a dente expressly attributed to expressions used by Ministers. Can Ministers expect that the Empe ror of Russia will consent to au equalisation of the naval forces of France, England, and Russia in the Euxine ? Or are they prepared to purchase a peace by departing from that demand ? Do they imagine that the lugubrious articles in the Tim,es have in timidated the nation, and rendered it disgusted with the war, to an extent that will render it happy to have peace patched up on any terms f The present is, perhaps, the most anxious crisis through which we have had to pass since the com mencement of the war; for never before have we appeared to be drifting so close to the shoals of national dishonour. ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE. On Saturday the inquiry was resumed at Cleveden, the Archdeacon being present for the first time. Dr. Haggard, on the part of the Commissioners, de. Glared that they were unanimous in declining to hear any evidence as to the motives of the proprietors of the suit, or of its being the result of a conspiracy to procure the deprivation of the Archdeacon of Taunton. Dr. Phillimore then announced that it was his inten tion to adopt the following line of defence on behalf of the Archdeacon, namely, to show that the prosecution was the result of a conspiracy of certain persons belong ing to a particular party of the Church to procure the deprivation of the Archdeacon of Taunton ; and that he should also contend that there was no legal proof of the preaching or publishing the said sermons, written withia the diocese of Bath and Wells. The Commissioners ruled that Dr. Phillimore should not be allowed to give evidence, by cross-examination or otherwise, as to the existence of the alleged conspiracy or the motives of the prosecutor. After a great deaf of legal quibbling, Dr. Bayford summed up the evidence he had adduced, contending at great length that it bad been fully estab lished that the patronage of the livings held by the Arch. deacon of Taunton was in the gift of the bishop of th bishop of the diocese—that the necessary statutory notices had been given, and that the sermon which formed the subject of inquiry had been preached and published is the diocese of Bath and Wells. The Rev. Wilson redder, late Vice-Principal of the Theological College at Wells, was called as a witness, and expressed his opinion, founded upon the e xamination papers presented showted no to candidatestende tendency efy in orhetlhye least toorders, degreethat the Archdeacon the H adopt theeitylo Eucharist.

Some other testimony of a similar character having been given Dr. Phillimore replied upon the case, and the Court wa s adjourned until Wednesday next. The Royal Mail Ship Lightning►, Captain A.
