Despatches were received to-day at the Admiralty, from the Commanders of the Allied Fleets, but they will not be issued from the Gazette office till late this evening. A working engineer, of the name of John Ross, re siding in Montreal, claims to have discovered a new mo, tive power which will waft a ship across the Atlantic Ocean in three days. THE LATE HEREFORD FgaTivAL.—The accounts of the late festival of the three choirs were on Saturday last au dited by the committee, and the result is much more satis factory than at ose time had been anticipated. The expen diture on account of the festival, engagement of singers, band, &c., amounted to 2,6581., b e i ng 6311. s s. 10d . more than the expenditure at the last festival at Here ford in 1852. The receipts were 2 ,028 1 . 108. 9;d., being 8001. more than in 1852, and leaving a balance of 630/, to be made good by the stewards. Instead of each steward having, therefore, to pay 100/. (the usual loss), the amount of each gentleman's liability is 811. I Gs. The collection for the charity for the relief of the widows and orphans of the clergy now amounts to 8701., and will no doubt reach 9001. After Mr. Townsend Smith had gone fully into the accounts on Sa turday th e committee and stewards request e d hi m to withdraw, and the following resolution was afterwards passed--" The stewards, being anxious to mark their sense of Mr. Townsend Smith's exertions upon the pre sent occasion, far exceeding those which have been re quire. from him a t any previous festiva l , reso l ve to enterinto a subscription of 51. each towards a testimo nial to be selected by the Archdeacon, after consulting with Mr. Townsend Smith, and to which the Arch deacon, as chairman of the committee, requests to be permitted to contribute a similar sum," Inrtt SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

The Court for the revision of the list of voters for the city of Westminster will be held at the Lords Justices' Court, Westminster Hall, before John Frazer Macqueen, Esq., on Friday, Sept. 21, at elev en o ' c l oc k i n the fore noon. _ The Reformers continue their attention to the register of this city. Mr. Huggett, their agent, has made 350 objections. The Conservatives have not made any ob jections. There are o n ly 34 c l a i ms for the whole city, most of which are by Reformers. The number of names on the lists published by the overseers this year is 14,070, being 133 less than last year, and 779 less than the previous year, 1853. This reduction is chiefly caused by the operation .of .a decision by the Court (f Common Pleas, r en d er i ng t h e payment of one quarter's house tax, which is not demanded till after Lady-day, payable before the 20th of July.

(From the Times of this dray.) There is an old distich, familiar enough in men's mouths, in which the writer denies that Kings or Go vernments have much to do with the ills which men are condemned to endure during their pilgrimage upon earth, A more egregious fallacy was never licked into rhyme and thrown forth upon the world to impose upon the credulity of mankind. A trip to Naples would be an appropriate punishment for the author's offence ; he would there, quickly enough, see that a Bing can put the cholera and the potato-rot to shame. Throughout the whole of the habitable globe there is no fairer spot than the territory which has received the political deno mination of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Whether we look to that great island which is subject to his sway, or to the portion of his dominions which lies at the southern extremity of the Italian peninsula, there is no spot where man has been so busy to deface the choicest work of the Creator's hands. Who that has ever sailed along those summer seas, inhaled the perfumed air, or rejoiced in the glorious vegetation of that splen did climate, can ever forget the spectacle there pre sented to his eyes ? Who that was able to appreciate the human interests of the scene but must shudder at the recollection ? That fair land would seem to be a Paradise—it is a Hell. Its vineyards and olive gardens, its orange groves and chestnut woods, hold forth a pro mise which is cruelly broken indeed. Beneath them the infamous police spy, the armed ruffian who disgraces the name of soldier, the gaoler, and the galley-guard ply their accursed trade. There we see the reign of suspi cion and terror. It is a crime to speak—silence is mere heinous still. To smile is to deride the supreme au thority in the person of its agents ; sorrow implies discontent, and discontent treason. In the theatre, in the street, men look strangely upon each other, for no speech can be so secretly uttered but that a bird of the air carries it to the Master's ears. He may seem to be far away in one or other of his secluded retreats, but his agents pervade the air like a blight, and he will know all that is said, distorted and exagge rated by unfriendly lips. The accounts which we pub lished last week of his manner of life would seem, how ever, to show that the King of Naples is not the one happy man in his own dominions. He avoids his own capital, but he cannot avoid himself ; he seeks seclusion, but from his own thoughts no seclusion is to be found. He will not bear to be spoken to upon business—for what must that business be ? One can imagine few situations in the world more painful than that of the King of the Two Sicilies, with his Minister for Foreign Affairs on his right and his Minister for Home Affairs on his left, and receiving from them honest reports of the situation of his dominions. The only analogous position which we can conceive is that of a man who at the close of a long and ill-spent life is suffering the re proaches of two consciences in place of one. No wonder, then, that he shrinks from business ; but he cannot rid himself of apprehension even in this life. How often must his eye rest upon the ruin-capped summit of Capri —how often must he long for the comparative security of that Roman Emperor who nearly two thousand years ago sought refuge on that little islet from the vengeance of his subjects, and the still more awful suggestions of his own heart ! Let it not be thought that we are indulging in rheto rical display or reading the story of modern Naples as though it were a chapter from the Annals of Tacitus. H e re is an extract from the "Court Circular" of Naples, under date August 24 :—"ln the month of October his Majesty , will leave Castellamare for Resina, and already the same cautions and severities are being practised that are in full vigour at Castellamare. The names, sur names, length of residence, and motive of residence both of foreigners and natives are taken down, and the keepers of cafes are compelled to send in weekly the most minute reports of those who frequent them, as also the subject of their conversation." Last week we published an account of the precautions used at Castellamare, which are similar in all respects to the above, with the addition that strangers arriving by the railroad, or by any other conveyance, are not allowed to remain. "Pass on ; pass on—the King is here !" Can the history of any nation in Europe produce a parallel to thislagony of apprehension ? Alexander, the Russian Czar, towards the close of his fitful career, was urged to his rapid and almost perpetual journeys by the stings of remorse, not by dastard terror of the assassin's knife— although no one knew better than Alexander how a Russian Czar may die. The Eleventh Louis of French history—wicked and fearful as he was—never showed so craven a front to the world as this. It must indeed be admitted in the king's favour that, if half be true of all that is charged against his police agents, it is not so wonderful that he should live in fear of the avenger's steel. The streets of Naples are the scene of saturnalia in which the spirri and police agents reign triumphant. Men were arrested and beaten with sticks the other day for having hissed in the theatre at Castellamare. At Naples a police agent—one Pierro—denounced a nume rous society, among whom were advocates and other persons of position. They were all straightway atTested. In the lodgings of one was discovered a list of persons to whom tickets of admission for the Olympic Circus were to be sent. Every person whose name was inserted in that list was instantly arrested. A sharp punishment this for wishing to visit Astley's at Naples ! Two advo cates were severely beaten with rods by the police, one well-nigh killed ; they were served, in fact, just as the wretched Hindoo peasants are by the native peons in our own Indian dominions ; and all this in Italy, in the latter half of the nineteenth century ! The insolence of the ruffian agents of the police exceeds all belief. When we find it recorded that one of them actually dared the other day to insult a gentleman connected with the di plomatic service of Great Britain it may readily be sup posed that their own fellow-subjects—their app iinted prey--receive but scant courtesy at their hands. The question is, how long is all this to last ? Would it be amiss, when the French and English cruisers are passing backwards and forwards in the Mediterranean, if they were to put into the bay for a few hours., and set matters a little to rights ? France holds Algeria at the present moment as a compensation for an affront to a consular agent not more gross than that which was offered the other day by a scoundrel chef de police at Naples to an English employe. France has not been more civilly treated than ourselves on many occasions. If any other reason were wanting, surely it would be well if the two greatest nations in the world were, by a simple effort of their will, to put an end to such a hideous amount of suffering as is inflicted by this half crazy monarch and his police upon so many thousands— not to say millions—of our fellow -creatures. Lord Ex mouth could show no better warrant for his proceedings at Algiers than this, and his errand was approved by the civilised world. We are very confident that we but express the feelings of every intelligent Frenchman and Englishman when we say that neither of our countries would accept a rood of King Bomba's territory, beauti ful as it is, as a free gift. It is, however, a ques t ion if France and England are not traitors to their high mis sion when they acquiesce in the infliction of such into lerable evils upon the defenceless population of the The Sieilies. Let the King of Naples keep his countries and govern them in his own way, if he can do so with out a constant outrage upon humanity—we have no wish to meddle in Italian affairs. Indignation, how ever, may one day be stronger than policy. If King Bomba's subjects should ever be strong enough to take the matter into their own hands, there is no one in Western Europe but would bid them God speed ! (From the Times of this day.) The detailed accounts which have reached us throw further light on the late severe conflict on the Tchernaya, and on the position of the allies in the more important operations against Sebastopol itself. So far from haste and excitement having exaggerated the Russian losses, it now appears that they actually exceeded the first estimate of the French generals. Upwards of 2,000 prisoners, of course mostly wounded, remain in the hands of the French, and several hundreds were taken by the Piedmontese. The French buried at least 1,500, the Russians an unknown, but probably large number, and they doubtless carried off many wounded. A loss of from 6,000 to 7,000 men is, after several days' consideration, the estimate formed by those who have had full opportunity of learning all the details of the action. Captured documents are said to have fully proved one fact, which might have been sus pected from the nature of the operations and the way they were carried out. The attack of the Russians was in pursuance of positive orders from St. Petersburg, and the generals, who have had an opportunity of learning prudence, were urged on by the impatience and ignor. ance of an autocrat at the other extremity of the empire. It would seem that the boasted organisation of the Mus covite fabric does not free it from the evil of the Sove reign's personal interference in matters which he has previously committed to subordinates. The ill-judged military orders of the late Czar are well known. It now appears that they are not peculiar to the irritable decline of a monarch unaccustomed .to opposition. The Russian commanders, in an almost impregnable position, would have been content to hold it, and to feed Sebastopol with the necessary men ; a process in itsel sufficiently exhausting. In obedience to an Imperial mandate, they descended to their destruction amid the fords and Croken ground of the Tchernaya, and proved their obedience and their forme r discretion at the expense of the liv es o f many n a high-placed officers and of sever a l th ousand men. But - - this bloody episode seems likely to have ttheeircounarsrerowof payees to Thetheir enemy p have ee retiredeffe ct on o!) h plateau, and are not like a l y y baegairneparetoidve_nftre down. Their losses in men m 3fal ak is ho to ff fa r il d itat Redan, e t d h a e n assault, and reputa tion they seem to care little. The attention of the world reverts to the progress o f the s t a h p e whichand capture of the strongest Russian position. Little from on which a judgment may be founded can e b learnt the accounts either of very commanders-in-chiefnear the Russian That the sap has now approached defences, that it has been carried round l ro e u a n r d n thapaatr,t owing of ng the position, we already knew. W to the vigour and constancyo e f foremost parallel, which, having been ends, could not be joined in the middle, has been t h e begun British a t fire,the two tthe com pleted. This occurred on the 18th of last month ; since then more than a fortnight has elapsed, and nothing of importance has followed. The last despatch from Genie ral Simpson merely speaks of a small sortie, in which the enemy had destroyed some of our gabions. The daily life of the camp, its hardships or amusements, the deaths or leave of absence of individual officers, the dis appointed hopes of others, fill both public and private letters. Scientific siege-work may be proceeding, but is results are still in the future. The three months of sapping which was predicted after the failure of the 13th want only a fortnight of completion. This is the anni versary of the memorable day when, amid the fortu nately early gales of the equinox, the armies of France and England embarked for the enterprise in which they are still engaged. The interval seems an age ; so much of glory and disaster of exultation and despondency, has filled it. But time rolls on, and we shall soon come upon the anniversaries of Alma, of Balaklava, of Inker man, and of the confused calamities which made up the history of the past winter. In short, though but a year ago this season was judged suitable for the commence ment of a great enterprise, experience has shown that it must bring with it the speedy close of military opera tions. Six more weeks are all that can be counted upon with certainty by the besiegers of Sebastopol ; rain may perhaps be delayed till November, and thus they will have two months for the execution of their plans. But, on the other hand, even September may interrupt the labour of both troops and workmen by the heavy gales and the storms of rain which sometimes ac company the autumnal equinox. Divided command now begins to be felt inconvenient. The line from Baidar to Inkerman, a distance of twelve miles, is occupied by French, Sardinians, and Turks, with, we believe, a part of the English cavalry. The troops of each nation have their own commander, totally independent of all the others. Report speaks of a plan for uniting the commands of the troops on the Tchernaya in one hand. A Russian attack may be repeated which it will be necessary to repel, or a demonstration made which the allies may have the power to change into a hurried retreat. In any case, the will of a single com mander is necessary for rapid combinations along such an extended line. For offensive movements, particularly for pursuit after a victory, such an unity of authority seems almost indispensable. The rumours which pre vail on the subject may be founded in error, but they show that an evil is felt which it requires no military knowledge to appreciate. The departure of Omer Pasha seems to have deprived the Turks of all efficient com mand whatever. Probably believing that his absence would be of short duration, he left Osman Pasha with, apparently, very detai;ed instructions, so as almost en tirely to control his liberty of action. As no successor I to the late Commander-in-Chief has been appointed, Osman Pasha must remain as a lieutenant, and continue bound by instructions which hamper his movements, and render impossible the co-operation of the Turks in any plane of their allies. But up to the present time the allies have acted strictly on the defensive, and no movement has been contemplated but such as might more efficiently protect their extended lines both on the side of the Tchernaya and Sebastopol. On the great pre parations of the last ten weeks the hopes of the French and British Generals are fixed, and indeed the fire that will open, when they shall judge that the fitting time is come, will be unexampled in the history of warfare. The cannonade of October last was trifling to that of April ; April was surpassed by the two days which pre ceded the capture of the Mamelon ; but all will sink into insignificance compared with the iron tempest which will shortly be poured on the besieged city. The weight and range of the guns, the number and size of the mor tars, the new positions of the batteries won by the steady progress which has marked the summer, will try the endurance of the Russians to the utmost. The great scale on which such a bombardment is carried on, and the preparations necessary for its execution, render the delays which precede it a matter of little surprise. In April the allies threw against Sebastopol, within nine days, 550,000 shot and shell ; the cost of the British ammunition alone was 300,0001. Yet April is now looked back upon as a time when we undervalued the enemy and did not know what Sebastopol was. Even on ordinary days the Russians will often fire some 4,000 shot i❑ the 24 hours., and throw 600 shell into one part of the British position. Yet their general fire is cor rectly described as slack in comparison with ours. What may be their resources, and the strength of the work at which they labour day and night, we cannot judge ; but there can be no doubt that a struggle is approaching which will determine the fate of Sebastopol for this win• ter at least. No one can pretend to foretell the issue ; all that is spoken of with certainty is, that the line-of battle ships will be destroyed, or at least driven from their position, so as to he made powerless against the assaulting troops. Whether we shall take the Malakhoff, whether we can keep it, whether it will lead to the im mediate capture of the town, or only to ulterior success, are all matters of doubt. The chances are in favour of the allies, who are superior in the character of their men, in the science they can command, and even in numbers ; but, should ♦ictory not favour their arms, they will pro bably be forced to wait in inactivity till another spring and another system of tactics assure the success which they probably might have commanded earlier. Our generals have set all on the hazard of a doubtful struggle at a single point, and we must wait the result. (From the Daily News of this day.) Our Generals in the Crimea have been sorely annoyed by the surveillance which the newspaper press has exer cised over all their operations. They forget that they owe to this publicity a comparative exemption from acts of injustice to which the Russian Generals are frequently subjected. The authorities in St. Petersburg, after twisting and turning the news of the battle of the Tcher naya into every possible shape, and after finding that by no legerdemain anything could be made of it, but a de feat, have set themselves to invent excuses for the dis agreeable fact. Prince Gortschaknff, it would appear, is to be made the scape-goat. The St. Petersburg corres pondent of Le Nord has been instructed to write to that journal, that " an impatient desire of measuring his strength with the enemy hurried Prince Gortschakoff on beyond the limits of prudence." In Russia this false ac cusation is certain to be believed, for there no one dare publish the fact that Prince Gortchakoff, instead of being hurried away by an impatient desire of battle, merely carried into effect instructions received from St. Petersburg, in a letter from the Emperor, which was read to the troops before going into action. It is true that a somewhat similar trick was tried by Sir James Graham. when he attempted to throw upon Sir Charles Napier the whole blame of the resultless campaign of 1854, while Sir Charles had been merely acting in con formity to the instructions of the Admiralty. But the disingenuous finesse of Sir James having been exposed, no other minister will attempt to repeat it. Our Admi rals and Generals are henceforth safe from such unworthy treatment. Not se with the Admirals and Generals of Russia. Others of them have experienced the same treatment as Prince,Gortschakoff before now ; and others will experience it hereafter as often as obedience to the commands of their government leads to di , aster and de feat. The much-decried publicity, for which England is indebted to its newspaper press, secures to our com manders by sea and land fair play at the hands of Government, and secures to the public that efficient service which can only be rendered by men who are sure of having justice done them provided they do their duty. It is as well, however, to note that in the present case any sympathy for Prince Gortschakoff would be entirely thrown away. "Even-handed justice has commended the contents of his poisoned chalice to his own lips." He has merely been treated by his Government as he has himself treated a braver and a better officer. Among the Russian officers who fell at the battle of the Tcher naya was General Read. "Dead men tell no tales ;" and accordingly Prince Gortschakoff has resolved that General Read shall bear the blame of his failure. " I then proceeded," says the Prince, in his report pub lished in the Invalids Russe, " to that redoubt (the re doubt on the Telegraph Hill), to examine the ground in person, to give my final instructions for the operations of the troops, when I was startled by a violent platoon firing on our ri g ht w i ng . G enera l R ea d , with his two divisions, bad attacked the Fedukhine heights. It is impossible for me to explain the motive which deter mined that General to make the attack contrary to the adopted plan, without having received my orders to do so, for very soon afterwards he himself and the chief of his staff were killed." Now, singularly enough, no no tice is taken of this grave charge against Gen. Read in the abstract of Prince Gortschakoff's report, which origi nally appeared in the Invalids Russe. General Read, it will be recollected, was not killed outright, but was con veyed to the French camp, and lingered some time be fore he expired. The full report of Prince Gortscbakoff, published in the Invalids Russe, has, therefore, all the appearance of a second and amended edition, prepared after the Prince had ascertained that death had incapa citated the man on whom he now seeks to throw the blame of his repulse from contradicting him. What a picture of courtly baseness and falsehood does this shifting of the blame from shoulder to shoulder present! The parasites of the Court first accuse Prince Gortschakoff of rashness, whereas it appears that he simplycarried into effect the posi tive commands of the Emperor ; and the only way the Prince can devise of warding off a misrepresentation which he knew awaited him, is, not to toll the real truth, but in his turn to invent a lie against a dead officer. And it is pretty Blear that such falsehood and dishonesty is not confined to the soil of Russia, but that it would flourish as luxuriantly in this our own land, were there not a public opinion to keep it in check. Selfish cruelty and falsehood are the vices of slaves. They prompt the Russians to slander the absent and the dead, and to turn their guns on their own wounded, abandoned on the field of battle, rather than that the enemy should have the credit of relieving them. There is another important lesson to be drawn from the report of Prince Gortsohakoff. The allusion made by General Pelissier, in his order of the day issued after the battle of the Tchernaya, to his desire to economise the blood of his soldiers, betrayed a lurking uneasiness lest he should be accused of not having followed up his victory with sufficient promptitude. The elaborate report of Admiral Druat, published a short time afterwards, has much the appearance of having been got up to meet such a charge by anticipation. And now the report of Prince Gortschakoff shows how the Russians have been able to turn to account the failure to pursue them. In a tone of braggadocio the Prince declares that he made a stand upon the Mackenzie heights, but that the enemy " dared not attempt" to assail him. Whenever the Allies have grappled with the Russians in earnest, the latter h ave s h run k f rom the contest ; but whenever the Allies have failed to follow up their advantage, the Rus sians have had the audacity to claim a semi-victory. The Muscovites must be dealt with as the old doggrel ad vises dealing with a nettle : If you gently touch a nettle, It will burn and sting you still ; Grasp it, like a man of mettle, And the rogue obeys your will. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) With the latest intelligence from Odessa appears the following statement :—" Th e R uss i ans are busy fortify in and intercepting the passes communicating with the Putrid Sea." It would seem that not until we were masters of the towns and fortifications in the Straits of Kertch did the thought strike the commanders of the expedition that the possession of the Putrid Sea is a matter of even greater consequence than the occupation of the Azoff. By the Spit of Arabat, and across the wooden causeway, constructed of late years, the Rus sians have been able to move their supplies and rein forcements into the Crimea at pleasure, and may do so still for that matter, for all we know to the contrary. The Sivash flows up to the very rampart of Perekop, spreading into maul)) , lagunes along the northern coast. The successful navigation of such waters could only be attempted by means of a fleet of flat-bottomed boats ; and for such craft there is work to do, and plenty of it, At last the necessity for their construction seems to be felt, and we perceive that a few boats specially fitted for this service are being built at Kertch or Yenikale. The Russians, we may be quite sure, well knew the value of the highway by which they have heretofore drawn, uninterruptedly, large supplies of men and provisions, and they are deterrai;led to defend it and its approaches to the last. Now surely it must strike any intelligent person who watches the progress of events in the Black Sea and exercises his judgment upon the conduct of this war, that the highways to the Crimea should not have been left all this time in the hands of the enemy. Surely the nature of the navigation, both in the Azoff and the Sivash, ought to have been duly taken into account, with a view to providing the only effective means of occupation. It is now nearly four months since the attack upon Kertch and Yenikale. Why was not the blow then struck followed up at once ? Simply because the means were not provided—boats of the proper de scription were not ready. In a very few weeks the win ter will set in, and render operations impossible, either in the Putrid Sea or the Sea of Azoff. Yet we find the boats are not ready even now, they are only in pre paraion, while the Russians are industriously strengthen. ing all the approaches, and prepared no doubt to defend them vigorously for the short interval during which they can now be exposed to our attacks this season. It is clear that a most important opportunity for crippling the enemy has been lost - a consideration for the em barrassed condition of the Russian army that will no doubt be appreciated and turned to excellent account. We lately directed attention to the report that a line-of battle ship of 131 guns had been actually laid down in the dockyard of Nicolaieff, almost before the eyes of our cruisers. This report was disbelieved, but it now re ceives confirmation in a letter from Odessa ; and not only so, but we learn that this projected liner is but one of a fleet to be built forthwith. A large supply of timber from the Imperial forests of Minsk and Vollivnia has been ordered for delivery, not only at Nicolaieff, but at Sebastopol—" by preference," so the letter states, " at Sebastopol ; but if that should be impossible, at Nico laieff." So much for the dread inspired by our fleet, its activity, and its vigilance. So much, also, for the san guine anticipations of the immediate surrender of the stronghold of the Crimea. An evening contemporary is innocently sarcastic upon the "sympathy with the arduous exertions of respon sible statesmanship" manifested by certain journalists who " volunteer advice as to the manner in which the war ought to be conducted "—the misfortune being that the advice is tendered after the necessity for it has ceased to exist. It is to be regretted that the Adminis tration to which our contemporary is so humbly de voted did not avail itself of advice from a quarter so solicitous for its honour, and so influential an in terpreter of its views. Lord Palmerston's Govern ment needs an adviser, and is less embarrassed, we apprehend, by the sympathy of journalists —except per haps by that of our contemporary—than the Globe thinks it necessary to assume. For our own part, we have never hesitated as to the course we should adopt. Such advice as we have thoright it our duty to give has been intended, not for a Cabinet in which it was impos sible to place reliance, but for the country at large, in order that loss and disaster might, if possible, be averted. We have the melancholy satisfaction of finding all our anticipations realised. If our solemn and repeated warnings have been slighted we are avenged. We pointed out, from the commencement of the campaign, the certain consequences of a defective commissariat, of the absence of proper means of transport, of the want of an efficient service. Months ego we drew attention to the state of the Ottoman army in Asia, and suggested the imperative necessity of proper reinforcements and an experienced command : we pointed out the use to which the Government of St. Petersburg turned the Asiatic successes of the Russian arms. All this and much more we have done, in the honest belief that we could not do otherwise, and with the sincerest desire to see the successful progress of the war—the right we have called upon the God of battles to defend, vindicated, and the honour and glory of the Western alliance stea dily advancing. These were—these are our sentiments and opinions—advocated irrespective of any Govern ment, and superior to the influences of any party. We recognise in the conduct of this eventful war the same vices, ignorance, apathy, or treachery, by which it has been from the first distinguished. With magnificent resources we have done almost nothing, and our Go vernment at this moment are without a defined object in the prosecution of the war. SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND SIR JANES GRAHAM. The following is the correspondence in continua• tion of what appeared in The Sun of yesterday : No. I. SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, Feb. 24, 18.54. My dear Sir Charles—The conversation which I had with you yesterday has left on my mind the painful im pression that the means which the Admiralty has pro vided for fitting out and manning the North Sea fleet are, in your opinion, insufficient for the occasion, and unequal to an encounter with the Russians on fair terms. I have done my best to provide a force which I con sider adequate to the duty to be performed ; and any exertion which this Board considers necessary, will be made without intermission. You urge on me the propriety of offering bounty. If you are dissatisfied with the preparations that have been made and are in progress—if you have not entire confi dence in the strength of the combined forces of France and England, you had better say so to me at once, and decline to accept a command which, in your opinion, will not redound to your honour, or to the safety of your country. It will be far better that you should refuse the offer of this command than undertake it with any such misgivings. I have marked my confidence in you by offering it. If you decline it on account of the insufficiency of the means which will be placed at your disposal, I must endeavour to make some other arrangements as soon as possible. Without ft good will and hearty concurrence, this Board and the Commander-in• Chief of the Baltic fleet cannot work well together.—l am, my dear Sir Charles, yours very faithfully, J. G. GRAHAM, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. No. 11. SIR CHARLES NAPIER TO SIR JAMES GRAHAM. 18, Albemarle-street, Feb. 24, 1854. My dear S:r James—l thought it my duty to point out to you what I thought the best way of manning the fleet, to insure a great, glorious, and speedy victory over the Russians. I never made difficulties when service was required, and, after a long life spent in honour, I am not going to make there now. I should consider myself a coward, and unworthy of hold'ng her Majesty's commission, were I to decline any service, be it ever so desperate. Lord Nelson never de clined any service, no more shall I, particularly after the confidence you placed in me ; but, with the means at my disposal, will do all I ca❑ for the honour and glory of my Queen and country, which shall not be tarnished in my hands ; and I certainly have no apprehension of fail ing, either in good will or hearty concurrence with the Board of Admiralty. I am, my dear Sir James, yours very faithfully, CHARLES NAPIER. The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., Admiralty. (Note.—The above letter is the best answer to the Times for not throwing up my command. The last paragraph of my letter will show that I reckoned wich out my host.—C. N.] No. 111. SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO MIR CHARLES NAPIER. House of Commons, February 24, 1854. My dear Sir Charles—l do not anticipate that I shall ask you to undertake any "desperate" service. When I offered you the command, I felt certain that the honour of the country and of the flag might be safely confided to you. Your apparent distrust of the means which I could place at your disposal was the sole cause of some uneasiness on my part. Your note of this evening has dissipated all doubt and apprehension. I shall be most happy to see you at the Admiralty to-morrow, at 11 o'clock, when we will discuss the arrangements which it will be necessary to make. I am, my dear Sir Charles, yours very faithfully, J. G. GRAHAM. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. No. IV. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, March 12, 1854. [Received 13th.] My dear Sir Charles,—ln the first place let me con gratulate you on the perfect success of your proceedings of yesterday. Never did a fleet sail in more regular order, or under higher auspices. I am, yours sincerely, J. G. GRAHAM'. Vice• Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.B. No. V. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, April 5, 1854. [Received Bth.] My dear Sir Charles—l am highly satisfied with your movements, and with the position which you have taken up for the present. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Grey can readily communicate with you where you now are ; and most useful information from Stockholm reaches you without loss of time.—l am, yours very truly, J. G. GuArreu. No. VI. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SIR JAMES GRAIIIII TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, April 10, 1854. [Received 19th.] My dear Sir Charles—l am entirely satisfied with your proceedings. Neither Lord Clarendon nor myself anticipated your movement inside the Belt, and be lieved that you would watch in the Cattegat the entrance of the Sound, and of the Belts, until you received orders to enter the Baltic. You judged, however, wisely, and the time which you have gained has been very precious, and the passage of the Belt in fine weather, and in safety, has been a most successful exploit.—l am, my dear Ad miral, yours very truly, J. G. GRAHAM. His Excellency Vice-Admiral Sir C. Napier, K. C.B. [Note.—O n the 24th March the Admiralty called my attention to their order of the Bth March, directing me to remain in Wingo Sound until further orders, and say ing that I appear to have left it without assigning my reasons, and to have acted therein without the concur. rence of the Board, although I took out sealed orders, dated 10th March, directing me, with reference to my first orders, to follow Lord Clarendon's instructions by taking a position near the entrance to the Baltic, to prevent any Russian ships passing nut into the North Sea on the opening of the ice. I accordingly anchored in Kioge Bay on the Ist of April, and re ceived the declaration of war the following day. On the Bth April the Admiralty wrote that, wider the circum stances stated by roe, their lordships approved of my proceedings. But, strange to say, on the 13th January, 1855, the Admiralty accused me of having quitted Wingo Sound without orders.—C.N.] No. VII. 4 1855: EXTRACT 0 4 E A LETTER FROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, May 1, 185 . 4. [Recd. 15th.] My dear Sir Charles—lt will be best, in the first in stance, to feel your way, and to make good your bold in the Gulf of Finland. When I say this, Iby no means contemplate an attack either on Sweaborg or on Cron stadt. I have a great respect for stone walls, and have no fancy for running even screw line-of-battle ships against them. Because the public here may be impa tient, you must not be rash ; because they, at a distance from danger, are foolhardy, you must not risk the loss of a fleet in an impossible enterprise. I believe both Sweaborg and Cronstadt to be all but impregnable from the sea—Sweaborg more especially— and none but a very large army could co-operate by land efficiently, in the presence of such a force as Russia could readily conce - ,trate f ,, r the immediate defence of the ap proaches to her capital. If, then, you have no means except naval at your command, you must pause long, and consider well, before you attempt any attack on the Russian squadrons in their strongholds ; and I am afraid that they are much too cautious to come out and meet you. Had you been weaker they might have done so. Now they will wait, and watch an opportunity, in the hope that you will seriously cripple your force by knock ing your head against their forts when they may take you at a serious disadvantage, and inflict a f4tal blow. These considerations must not be overlooked by you ; I recal them to your mind, lest, in the eager desire to achieve a great exploit, and to satisfy the wild wishes of an impa tient multitude, you should yield to some rash impulse and fail in the discharge of ,one of the noblest of duties, which is the moral courage to do what you know to be right, at the risk of being accused of having done wrong. It is enough to present this view to your deliberate at tention ; you will reflect on it, and I am certain that your judgment will not err.—l am, my dear Admiral, yours sincerely, J. G. GRAHAM. His Excellency Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. No. V 111. IXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM IR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, May 15, 1854. My dear Sir Charles—lf anything can he done, you will discover the best means of doing it; but no rash ex periments must be tried which do not hold out a reason able prospect of success. I still think that a complete blockade of the Gulf of Finland must be your first operation, and the occupation if possible of an anclioiage within the Gulf, where you can command a supply of water.—l am, yours sincerely, J. G. GILAHAIi, No. IX. taininl the line of battleships and'steamers, and then in sending them home laden with prisoners. —T am, yours, very truly, No. XVI. [Copy.] _ J. G, GRAHAM. Devonport, Aug. 25, 1854. [Recd. Sept. 3.] My dear Sir Charles, —I azn more than satisfied with your proceedings. I am delighted with the prudence and sound judgment which you have evinced. It would have been a miserable want of firmness bad you yielded to clamour, and risked your ships, and sacrificed many valuable lives, in an attempt to destroy, by naval means, works which were certain to fall to an attack by laud. Yourl reasoning also, in favour of the immediate and entire destruction of the forts at Bomarsund, is irre sistible, and I hope you will take care that the destruc tion is complete, and that not one stone is left upon another. I am well pleased also with the promptitude with which you have sent back the line-of-battle ships and steamers. The work has been well done, and I gladly give you the utmost credit for it. - I write in great haste, but that which presses is the order fur destroying Bomarsund. At greater leisure, and in a few days, I will write to you on the subject of your ulterior operations, and of the preparations for an early retreat from the Baltic before winter. I am, yours, very sincerely, J. G. GRAHAM. Again, we appeal to our readers, whether anything which we could advance in the shape of note or comment on the extraordinary correspondence which we have pub lished, could give additional force to the case of Sir C. Napier! There will be a universal response to the effect that it would not. Sir C. Napier has done his duty in putting into our hands a series of letters whose impor tance it would be impossible to exaggerate. We have done our duty to the country, and to the gallant admiral, in laying the correspondence before the people of these realms. It now remains for the country to do its duty. From the House of Commons we expect nothing. If any practical steps are to be taken in the matter, they must be initiated by the people. Sir Charles has triumphantly vindicated his character. He stands before the world a grossly ill-used man. But the clearing of the gallant Admiral's character is not enough. What reparation shall be made to a country whose honour has been tar nished, and whose best interests have been sacrificed ! And what punishment shall be inflicted upon those against whom charges can be brought home of thus tampering with the honour and the interests of the coun try 9 These are questions which the people themselves must answer. If they are to be answered i❑ the proper way,—in that way which the exigencies of the case de mand, the country must apply itself to a consideration of the whole subject without one hour's delay. We have made some startling exposures : we have said enough, or rather have enabled others to say enough, t.► show that some of the most zealous and most efficient friends of Russia have had their abode, not in St. Petersburg, but in Downing-street ; but, bad as the facts are which we have laid before our readers, we speak advisedly when we say that others a great deal worse yet remain SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAT. Subscribers mustered pretty numerously, but many of them withdrew early to proceed to Warwick. Never• the►ess, as times go, a fair amount of business was trans acted. EXTRACT OP A LETTER PROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. Admiralty, June 20, 1854 [Rec. 27th]. My dear Sir Charles—l am well aware of all the diffi culties of your position, and of the impossibility of triumphing over an enemy who will not fight you on fair terms, but you will discipline our fleet, and make our officers and men fit and ready for any service. It is a disgrace to Russia that she dare not show a ship in her own waters, _and that sbe is driven to seek for safety under the shelter of her fortresses. It would be madness to play her game, and to rush headlong on her granite walls, risking our naval supe riority, with all the fatal consequences of defeat in an unequal contest with wood against stone, which in the long run cannot succeed. I had reliance on your prudence, which was doubted ; your brilliant courage was proved long ago ; you will now show to the world that you possess a combination of those great virtues which are necessary to make a consummate commander-in-chief.—l am, yours very truly, J. G. GRAHAM. ( Front the Morning Advertiser of this day.) We resume the publication of the Correspondence between Sir James Graham and Sir Charles Napier, during the time the latter gallant officer was Com mander in-Chief of the Baltic Fleet. Never, we unhe sitatingly say, has the publication of any correspondence on great international questions produced a sensation at all approaching that which has been caused by the Correspondence which has appeared in our columns within the last few days. And, no wonder ; for the manner in which the Ministers of the Crown manage our pubic affairs, was never before so fully exposed to the gaze of the world. It will be observed that Sir James Graham, in the first few letters which we publish to-day, still emphati cally dwells on the necessity of great caution, and is prodigal of warnings against the imprudence, if not in sanity, of attacking any of the more formidable forts of Russia. This must sound very strange in the ears of those who remember the vehemence of Sir James Grabfkm in goading on Sir Charles to attack Svea borg in October, when the navigation of the Baltic had, owing to the advanced season of the year, be come perilous to the Fleet. Yet it will be seen, that up till the end of June, when the season was so highly favourable to any demonstration avainst the Czar, the Gallant Admiral is not only adjured, but enjoined, not to make any attack on the Russian forts. In other words, when Sir Charles thought an attack might Le successfully made, he is prohibited by the First Lord of the Admiralty from mak,ng it ; but the very moment that Sir Charles writes home that, owing to the want of the necessary means, he thought an at tack could not be made with success, and when, besides, he considered the season too far advanced for such an operation, Sir James Graham seeks to goad him into a course which he felt persuaded would terminate in the loss of the fleet, by a series of reproaches and insults, as well as by something very much resembling the lan guage of command. Btit we forbear from making comments of our own. It is enough that we allow Sir Jai.les Graham and Sir C. Napier severally to speak through the columns of the Morning Advertiser. No. X. SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR CHARLES NAPIER. House of Commons, June 27, 1854. [Recd. July 4.] My dear Sir Charles,—l am glad that you you have gone up to Cronstadt to see with your own eyes what it may be possible to do there. Whatever man can do I am certain will be done by you ; and if you are re strained by a sense of duty from embarking in any des perate enterprise, on your retu rn t o B aro Sound you shall receive full instructions from rue respecting an at tack on the Aland Islands. It is necessary to communicate with the Government of France in the first instance, and these communications have been already opened.—l am, yours, very truly, J. G. GRAHAM. No. XI. [Extract.] Admiralty, July 11, 1854. [Recd. 17th ] My dear Sir Charles,—lf Bomarsund is to be attacked by sea and land, Admiral Chads is peculiarly well quali fied to command the squadron sent on that service. You are fortunate in having two such Rear-Admirals as Plum ridge and Ohads under your orders,* with Seymour and Martin ready for emergencies. --I am, yours, sincerely, GRAHAM. His Excellency Si r Ch ar l es Napier, K.C.B. No. XII. [Extract.] Admiralty, July 11, 1854. My dear Sir Charles,—l had anticipated your return to the westward after an offer of battle, which I felt cer tain the enemy would decline ; and it now remains for you to blockade the Gulf of Finland, to keep the fleets at Cronstadt and Helsingfors disunited, and to await the arrival of the French troops, when you and the French Admiral and General must deliberate on the operations ki be undertaken by the combined forces. Bomarsund will clearly be within your reach. Sweaborg, if it were possible, would be a noble prize, but on no account be led into any desperate attempt, and, above all things, avoid the least risk of the Russian fleet slipping out of the Gulf of Finland when your back is turned ; and be slow to land your marines, without whom your line of battle is disabled. The Russians, though shy, are crafty ; and if they can catch you at a disadvantage, they will be down upon you With 50,000 troops and 200 gun-boats you might still do something great and decisive before the end of Sep tember.—l am, my dear Sir Charles, yours sincerely, J. G. His Excellency Si r Ch arles Napier, S C.B. GRAHAM. No. XIII. [Extract.] Admiralty, Aug. 1, 1854. [Recd. 6th.] My dear Sir Charles,—By your foresight and good arrangements the whole of the French army will have joined you off Bomarsund before the end of this week, and I hope that you will send back the line of battle ships which carried them to you as soon as possible. . . . I am aware that Bomarsund presents difficulties, but I feel certai❑ that you will overcome them. The next move must be well considered, but the fall of Bomarsund will be no bad beginning.— I am, yours, very truly, J. G. GRAHAM. No. XIV. [Extract.] Admiralty, Aug. 15, 1854.
