The glorious victory of the Allies hastens to completion, and it is to he hoped the war will soon terminate, the peace of Europe be established, the inconveniences of high-priced provisions and heavy war taxes cease to be experienced, which will make a con siderable alteration in family expenses. However, a decline in the markets, and general depression from scarcity of money, have en abled E. MOSES and SON to purchase on the most advantageous conditions. Their limitless capital has procured such abundance of the most novel materials for the autumnal season as cannot possibly be equalled, and the advantages secured will be distributed amongst all classes, so that the necessaries and elegancies of Dress for the present and approaching seasons are provided by E. Moses and Sort at such prices and of such superior quality as prove the most abso lute benefit to individuals and families. E. Moses and Sex have great pleasure in acquainting their friends, patrons, and the public with the magnificent arrangements they have complete.' for furnishing the most fashionable and useful Dress, com prising new materials of the highest class, devised with incomparable skill into the most superior attire, accompanied with Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Shirts, Underclothing, Boots and shoes, &c., the most ap proved articles at the most economical prices.

MOSES and Sox, of the gentlemanly appearance of their Sport ing Costume, of the new style and materials which appear in the manufactures of E. MOSES and Sox, of the easy fit and serviceable workmanship displayed in the Sporting Attire, which may be pro cured at the Establishment and Branch Establishments of E. MOSES and SON. _ _ The Dress for Sportsmen made by E. MosEs and Sox has always produced universal satisfaction; but the present novelties have still higher claims to the patronage of all classes of sportsmen, and in spection of their equipments for sporting exercises will fully demon strate that E.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man coed, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any ether , class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is )articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: I t is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. e Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in tho treatment of these delicate complaints, which have iv:fortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emoirics, who Inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions. ti KRVOU3 .

The following is the close of the lengthened and singular correspondence between Sir Charles Napier and Sir James Graham and the Admiralty : No. XXXI. [Copy.] 13, Albemarle-street, 12th Jan., 1855. Sir,—l have received your letter of the Bth January, and I beg respectfully to observe that their lordabips have evaded, but not replied to my letter. I did not complain that my officers had not been promoted, and I knew very well that the French army and navy bore a omspicuous part in the capture of Bomarsund. I knew also that their chiefs were promoted, and the army and navy thanked by the Chambers, while the only chief on our side promoted has been Brigadier Jones, who proposed a plan of attack on Sweaborg, which was condemned and rejected by the French Marshal, the French General of Engineers, the French Admiral, and myself, as impracticable and dangerous, whereas I have been deprived of my command, and her Majesty has not been advised to express her approbation. I did not complain of any neglect of Captain Watson or his officers and men, and I am glad their lordships have at last promoted his First Lieutenant, and no re ward is too great for his bold and successful blockade of the Gulf of Finland after I retired with the Fleet to Kiel, and it is most providential that some of his ships were not lust ; it is probable that such would have been the fate of my fleet had I ramained at Nargen, as ordered by their lordships, until the ice came, and at all hazards ; and it is singular also, the dates of my letter, announcing my intended retirement, and the date of their lordahips' letter withdrawing the order to remain at all hazards, were the same. Their lordships conclude their letter by saying they had already expressed their sense of my exertions during my command of the Baltic fleet, but they forgot to do so when they ordered me to haul down my flag ; and they also forgot to promote my Flag Lieutenant, agree- ably to the custom cf the service.* I was not desired to thank the junior admirals, the officers and men, without whose exertions and willing obedience, under the most trying circumstances, the wretchedly-manned and inefficient fleet could not have been brought into the state of discipline it was in when I brought it home, after having for nine months con ducted them through all the dangers of the Baltic and Gulf of Finland—conducted them safely into anchorages that no fleet had visited before, without pilots, without ights, and without buoys or beacons, except those placed to mislead us,—and all this with a fleet of such a size and magnitude as had never been before seen•; and after having repeatedly offered battle, with only one- third of the Russian force, and blockaded Bomarsund amidst a labyrinth of sunken rocks and islands, and, finally, in conjunction with a French army and fleet, took it. Their lordships say no censure has been conveyed on any point requiring further investigation. I beg to differ from their lordships : I will not enter on the fact of Sir James Graham having, In his capacity of First Lord, written to me to begin to withdraw the fleet, and then, in his capacity of ono of the Board, reproving me for so doing. The points on which an investigation of my con duct is necessary are, whether I was right or wrong in agreeing:with a Marshal of France, a General of Engi neers, and a French Admiral in rejecting the impracti cable plan of an English Brigadier-General of Engineers for attacking Sweaborg, with which decision the Admi ralty have expressed their discontent ; whether the report of my second reconnaissance of Sweaborg deserves the construction their lordships thought fit to give it and, indeed, changed the sense and meaning of it al together, to make out a case against me, at the same time using language to goad me to attack Sw eaborg, contrary to my judgment, contrary to the judgment of the French Admiral, and contrary to the judgment of my own Admirals, whom I was ordered to consult ; this was to the imminent risk of her Majesty's fleet, either from the fire of a fortress of the first order, or from tem pestuous weather, or from both ; unless, indeed, I could hit on a fine day in the latter end of October, when the Crosistadt fleet should be frozen, and that of Sveaborg open. These were their lordships' instructions, and they showed that they were totally ignorant of the state of the Baltic. Had their lordships consulted Sir Byam Martin, who was then alive, or, indeed, any captain of a Baltic trader, they would have told them whether a fine day was likely to be found at that season of the year, and whether any sane man would push a fleet amongst sunken rocks, without beacons or buoys, to attack one of the strongest fortresses in Europe, when he could not depend on the weather for two hour& Notwithstanding all the explanations I gave to their lordships in public letters, and to Sir J. Graham in pri vate letters, they persisted in writing to me in a style that might have done for a man who either did not know his duty, or was afraid to do it ; but not to a man of my character and services. If enough was not done in the Baltic to satisfy the public, and if blame was to attach to any one, it should attach to the Government, for not sending out a suffi cient number of troops at a proper season of the year, and if that was not practicable, for not sending out the appliances pointed out in my report of the 12th of June, and which differed little from my report of the 25th of September. Their lord ships thought proper to interpret the last as an as surance that I could attack Sweaborg with ships alone, and that I meant to do so, though I most dis tinctly said, after giving a detailed account of how it should be attacked, if by ships alone—" Whether this attack would succeed or not it is impossible to say ; but we must calculate on ships being set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, of which they would have abundance ; and, whether successful or not, it is evident the ships would be in no state to meet the Russian fleet after wards ; and if the attack was made at this season of the year, when you cannot depend on the weather for two hours, I do not know how many would be lost." I then proceeded to say, " I beg their Lordships will not suppose for a moment that Sweaborg cannot be at tacked ; I think it can, but it must be done with caution and judgment." Then followed a complete detail of the manner it should be attacked to insure success, and I should have thought that their Lordships really mis understood my letters had they not persisted in address ing me in the same style after my explanations. During the whole of the summer Sir James Graham was cautioning me against risking the fleet against stone walls, and complimenting me for having proved myself a consummate Commander-in-Chief —praised me for all my arrangements—for the capture of Bomarsund, with which he was more than pleased ; but then, because two engineers proposed plans diametrically opposite to each other, he forgot his former cautions and all his former praises—forgot his consummate Commander-in-Chief— and urged me to attack Sweaborg, contrary to my own judgment and that of my colleagues, and risk her Ma jesty's fleet amongst sunken rocks, against heavy bat teries, and at a season of the year which any man who knew his business would have positively forbid, instead of goading to attempt. In Sir James Graham's letter to me, of the 17th of October, he makes use of the following expression—it is the French General who writes :—" We partake of the opinion of General Jones. Sweaborg may be attacked and taken by the fleets, if they think fit to make on that fortress a serious attack." Now, there is no such thing in ;General Jones's re port—the French General meant General Niel's report, and Sir James Graham either never read General Jones's report, or thought proper to forget it. General Niel, after stating that he thought the fleets could lay Swea borg in ruins, added, "Mail les vaisseaux sant des ma chines bien bien compliqudes bien faciles incendier' une tells operation est hardie—elle n'a jamais ete fait que je sache et ce n'est pas A moi qu'il appartient de la conseiller."± This, Sir James thinks proper to inter pret, in his letter to me, " General Niel intimated very distinctly an opinion that the attack ought to be made;" and then goes on to say, alluding, I suppose, to General Jones's report, " that report made a great impression here, and raised a strong presumption that, with the aid of the military force then present with the fleet, in seven or eight days the works at Sweaborg might be destroyed, and that the month of September was the proper time for the operation." Whatever impression it Made on Sir James Graham (who I do not think a good judge) that report made none on the French mar shal—none on the French admiral, the French engineer, or myself. We all considered it impracticable, and as the weather turned out, had it been put in course of exe cution, the communication with the fleet would have He was afterwards promoted. + General Niel acted like a man of sense and honour, in qualifying hill opinion. been cut off, and the troops and stores in poss , ls sioni of the enemy before sunset ; a portion of the would most probablytalso have been lost—it would hai 'e been worse than Sebastopol ! Sir James then otlnies thus :—" Then came your scowl reconnai' ;ss ace 'of Scveaborg and plan of naval attack, which you consi dered pricticable." I gave tavo plans, one with the fleet alone, th(e success of which I doubted, and though; dangerous ; th,e second I thought certain of success. Their lordships • thought proper to deliberate on one and to ignore Vie • other, which differed, however, little from the one I 'igave on the 12th of June ; and then Sir James Graham. tells the an opportunity xvo,s lost ; adding words about ii sks and dangers, and telling me that prudence consists I weigh ing them, and firmness in encountering the . r. Had their LorOlships weighed these things they vs rcluld not. have writt sn me such letters: Sir Jamos, in another letter, tells me he is • tt.nwilling to be involved in a written controversy with me ; but that I had brought it on myself by my report of: the 25th of September—that report appeared to him to b e entirely at variance with the opinions previously exp sessed by me ; and he certainly understood me to say, that if I had mortars, rockets, and Lancaster's guns, I c moidered Sweaborg vsilailable by sea. Now, in .May, I declared it to be unassailabl a by sea or land, and. the Admiralty did not send to m e the ap pliances which, in September, I declared to be wanting, because they believed, from nay account, they , P; ould be useless against a place, which, in the first insi - ,ance, I pronounced to be impregnable. Sir James; then coatinues thus—" I could not bring myself to believe that the want of Lancaster's guns, or even of mor tars, rencler4a sea attack, on your plan of the 25th of September impossible, if you had 25 sail of the line reausembled before the place, with all their means of vertical fire."' But Sir James forgot that my report in M J.) , was made before I had seen Svveaborg ; but the rep( ,rt of the 12th of June was after I had seen it ; and it defers little from that of the 25th September! I wonder whether Sir James Graham, when hie wrote thii, had for,gotten his great respect for stone mills, and his warnings: to avoid them ; and had he forgot his con summate Commander-in-Chief? I have now again well weighed and considered this painful subject. I have consulted friends, and lam of opinion, and so are they, that my character has been attacks id by the First Lord of the Admiralty, and by the Boari. ; and coupling that with my dismissal from command, I have nothing left but to demand that my conduct be i nvestigated before a court-martial. I can qui to understand that their lordships wish to avoid an investigation ; for they are quite aware that my conduct will be proved creditable to me, and very different to their lordships.—l have the honour to re main, your , Dbedient humble servant, (Signed) CHAS. NAPIER. To the above masterly letter the Admiralty reply as follows, uneier the signature of their Secretary : No. XXXII. (Copy.) Admiralty, Jan. 13, 1855. Having 1 yid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of yesterday's date, lam com manded by their Lordships to acquaint you that although my Lords upon some occasions have not been enabled to express the same satisfaction at receiving your re ports, which they have directed to be conveyed to you upon others, they have only to rapeat that no censure has been pa sued upon your conduct in reference to the operations of the Fleet under your orders, and their Lordships :have already expressed their sense of your exertions in, a manner customary upon intimation that the flag of a re officer of your rank has been struck in pur suance of t heir Lordships' orders. They had also, in accordance with your recommendation, promoted the Flag Lieut( 'pant who was the bearer of your despatches announcing: the fall of Bomarsund, and since your flag has been s truck the name of no other officer has been submitted by you. [I submit tied a name, and he was promoted.] My Lordis do not feel themselves icaEed upon now to enter a seco,nd time into discussion of reports on which they have < 'heady stated their opinions, and still less to take cogni lance of other informal documents which have never been laid before them, and which they decline to recognise. [These, I. Auppose, are Sir J. Graham's that are called in formal ; a pi •etty way of carrying on business.] They consider that no inquiry into your conduct is necessary, and they entirely decline to submit a contro. versy raisedi by an officer under their orders, to the de cision of a 'Court-martial. My Loris further direct me to inform you, that while bhey have been unwilling to pass censure upon any part of your con.duct they have not failed to observe, from the moment; of your first quitting Wingo Sound without orders, an, I. down to the present time, you have re peatedly th ought fit to adopt a tone, in your correspond ence with t heir Lordships, which is not respectful to their authority. Such a course, if generally adopted by other officers, would be destructive to the discipline and inju rious to the ;best interests of the servioe, and is not cal culated to ir u3pire confidence in an officer entrusted with an important command. [Why did 1 - they not produce them? I defy the Admi ralty to pro duce one instanco in the British Navy where an officer's l otters were falsified.] I am fur Cher directed to add that this decision is to be considered by you as final. I am, Sh?, your most obedient humble servant, W. A. B. HAMILTON. Vice•Ad m iral Sir Charles Napier, S.C.B. The next ;letter is the rejoinder of Sir Charles to the above letter , .of the Admiralty : No. XXXIII. Merchistoun Hall, Horndean, Jan. 20, 1855. Sir,—l ;save received your letter of the 13th inst., in which you state, that " although my Lords upon some occasions have not been enabled to express the same satisfaction on receiving my reports which they have done on others, that they never passed censure on me, in reference to the operation of the fleet under my com mand." This communication leaves me at a loss to understand why their Lordships' letter of the 4th Oct., No. 744, was written ; and I shall, therefore, take that letter paragraph by paragraph, and reply to it. 1. Your renewed reconnaissance of Sweaborg gives rise to more pressing and serious considerations. [My opinion since I first saw Sweaborg has never changed.] 2. You desire us not for a minute to suppose that Swea borg cannot be attacked, and you proceed to point out in detail the precise mode in which the operation ought to be conducted.. [Certainly. I pointed out the precise mode of attack. One witr n ships alone, but saying success would be doubt ful, an'A many ships would be lost. Another with ships, guns. gun-boats, Lancaster guns, rockets, 13-inch mortars on The islands, and a vast supply of shot, shells, and rockets, in addition to the ships. This mode I thought certain, and do still think so, notwithstanding the disaster at Sebastopol.] 3. You express your opinion that if your plan of at tack by the ships were c adopted, you are quite certain the fortress would be laid in ruins, and most probably an entrance opened to the ships. [I never said anything of the sort. I said, if attacked by the ships alone success would be very doubtful. The ships would be set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, and be left in no condition to meet the Russian fleet after wards ; and if attempted at that season of the year I did not know how many would be lost.] Fs 4 . What, then, are the obstacles to the immediate attempt ? Admiral Plamridge and the French Admiral are ordered to rejoin you. [The want of the means I pointed out to insure success. Had Admiral l'iumridge and the French squadron re joined with the month's provisions he was ordered to take in, it would have been nearly expended before he got back, and could have done us no good without the appliances I asked for. Neither could he have come until the end of October, the period their lordships thought most favour able for attack, but which I knew to be most unfavour able.] _ 5. Recent events in the Black Sea will not encourage the Russians to attempt any enterprise of more than usual hazard and daring at this precise moment. [Recent events in the Black Sea were a miserable de ception; more recent events showed that the British fleet was nearly destroyed. And had that been known at the Admiralty, Sir J. Graham's cautions to me would have been repeated instead of his gaadings.] 6. Your second reconnaissance of Sweaborg opens a new view, and the presence or absence of a few guns of an improved construction, or even of mortar-vessels, cannot make the whole difference between a possible and an impossible attack. [My second reconnaissanco opened no new view to me; and the presence or absence of a " few guns," as their lordships are pleased to call what I asked for, just makes all the difference between the possible and the impos sible.] Any man reading the foregoing letter would say that no,thiag more goading could have been written to one in my position ; nothing short of a positive order more * Where was the vertical fire to come from ? We had no mortars. Did he mean the ships to be heeled over, guild eat with the porta eaulked OYU urgent or imperative ; it was to say, "If you don't act it will 'be a disgraceful backwardness ! It is a letter which will remain at the Admiralty on record ; and if hereafter my life should be written, posterity will per haps take it as a proof that Sir Chatles Napier was a cowardly commander ! This injurious letter was followed up by another from their lordships, October 17, No. 779, which I will now digsect, as I have done the first. 1. Their lordships might also have been satisfied with the decision adopted by you, on the joint report of the tfag officers referred to, if the reports of the French and English military officers had not contained adverse opinions, and if your own letter of wept. 25th had not afterwards expressly informed their lordships that they were not to suppose for a moment that Sweaborg could not be attached. [lf this is not censure, what is it ? It might be thought the opinions of the naval flag officers were of more worth than those of the French and English military officers on ❑aval affairs. It is probably the first time that soldiers were considered better judges of naval warfare than seilors ! And those soldiers announced opinions directly , at valiance with each other. But how was it to be at tacked? Not by chips alone ! And that was well known to their lordships, though they thought fit to ignore it.] In their next letter, October 31, No. 796, their Lord ships told me plainly they could not express satisfaction with the decision come to, not to attack Sweaborg after the fall of Bomarsund. That was not only a censure on rue, but on a Marshal of France, a French Admiral, and on my own Admirals. The French Chamber, however, did not agree with their Lordships; they gave thanks to their officers, and the Emperor promoted them ; but I have been removed from my command by the English Admiralty ! Their Lordships speak of informal documents, which they will not recognise. Are, then, the letters of the First Lord of the Admiralty, official and momentous of meaning, informal ? Were they to be of force for stimu :ating, goading an Admiral, against his judgment, to risk the destruction of a noble fleet, amidst fogs, sunken rocks, stone fortresses, and ice and fire ; and yet to be of no authenticity or weight in justification of an injured and insulter? man ? Their Lordships say no inquiry into my conduct is necessary, and decline submitting a controversy, raised by an officer under their orders, to the decision of a court-martial. But it was not I who raised the contro versy. It was their Lordships, by misinterpreting my letters. But they further direct you to inform me that, while they are unwilling to pass censure on any part of my conduct, they have not failed to observe that, from the moment " I first quitted Wingoe Sound without orders," down to the present time, I have repeatedly thought fit to adopt a tone in my correspondence which is not re ,peetful to their authority. This passage is to me surprising. For, first, I did not quit Wingoe Sound without orders. Their Lordships, by letter of the Bth of March, ordered me to proceed to Wingoe Sound. On the 10th of March they sent me Lord Clarendon's instructions to dispose my fleet so as to prevent the Russian ships passing out of the Baltic. Acting on those instructions, I left Wingoe Sound, proceeding to Kioge Bay as a better station for effect ing the object of Lord Clarendon's communication. I arrived there on the Ist of April, and was immediately reproved by the Admiralty for obeying Lord Claren don's orders, transmitted to me by the Admiralty ! On the 2d of April I received orders from tke Duke Hof Newcastle, also forwarded by the Admiralty, to pro ceed to the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, from Kiel, 65 soon as possible. On the 3d of May I received a letter from their lord ships, dated Bth April, approving of my proceedings in raving \Vingoe Sound ! Also came a letter from Sir J. Graham, dated 10th of April, from which the follow ing is an extract : " I am entirely satisfied with your proceedings. Nei ther Lord Clarendon nor I anticipated your movement inside the Belt, and believed that you would watch in the Cattegat the entrance to the Sound, and of the Belt, until you received orders to enter the Baltic. You judged, however, very 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. " You will also have been enabled to exercise your officers and men to great advantage, with the certainty that the enemy is in front of you, locked up in ice for some time to come ; and that your reinforcements will arrive, and that your discipline will be improved before lie can move, even if he were so disposed." On the sth of April Sir J. Graham wrote thus, also " lam highly satisfied with your movements, with the position which you have taken up for the present. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Grey can readily communicate with you where you are now, and most useful informa tion from Stockholm reaches you without loss of time. " Considering the state of the ice in front of you I rejoice in the belief that you are on the ground in time, and that you will be strong and well prepared before the critical moment arrives." Now, on the 14th Jan., 1855, I received a letter from their lordships again accusing me of leaving Wingoc Sound without orders, and also remarking that down to the present time, from that period, I have re peatedly thought fit to adopt a tone in my correspon dence which is not respectful to their Lordships' authority. I believe in one instance only, up to the 4th of Octo ber, I did write hastily to their Lordships, and I after wards expressed my regret to Admiral Berkeley for having done so. Up to that date, also, I received nothing but praise from their Lordships. Since then, I admit the use of strong language, but I was goaded to it by their Lordships' public letters, and by Sir J. Gra ham's private letters, which were almost past endurance. Their Lordships have directed you to add, that this, their decision, is to be considered by me as final. It may be final for their Lordships, but certainly will not be final for me, until I receive complete satisfaction for the in jurious imputations on my character and conduct. Her Majesty was certainly not displeased with my conduct in the Baltic, for she invited me to Windsor on 'lay return, The invitation reached me too late to obey her Majesty's command ; and as it has not been repeated, my hope is, that Sir J. Graham's misrepresentations to myself of my opinions and conduct have not been ex tended so as to affect her Majesty's sentiments. But I have been deprived of my command—an unusual act, save where an officer has misconducted himself.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, CHAS. NAPIER. The Secretary of the Admiralty, &c., &c. XXXIV. Admiralty, Jan. 22, 1855. I have received and laid before my Lords Commis. sioners of the Admiralty your letter of the 20th instant, in reply to their Lordships' letter of the 13th instant.—l am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, W. A. B. HAMILTON. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. THE CASE OP PAUL, STRAHAN, AND BATES.—It is not generally known that the bail in the ease of Paul, Stra han, and Bates (which will not he tried, it is understood during the present sessions of the Central Criminal Court) am•unts to no less a MITI than 60,000/. On the last examination at Bow-street the six sureties for the defendants increased their recognisances from 3,0001. to 5,0001. each, making 30,000/., and each defendant in creased his recognisance from 5,000/. to 10,000/., making the three 30,000/., and with the bail 60,000/. for their appearance to take their trial. Her Majesty's judges on the rota will take their seats at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, when an application will be made on the part of the defendants to postpone the trial to the October sessions, and it is understood there is every probability of the same being granted. At pre sent the leading counsel for the defence has not been fixed upon. Mr. E. James has been retained for the de endant Bates. MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.—The following is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders :—" The committee have received ad vices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 19th ult. The garrison of Mexico had, on the 13th ult., pronounced for the plan of Ay utla,' which pro nunciamento all the leaders of the late President's party signed. In accordance with this plan General Carrera, late Commander-in-Chief, was elected provisional Presi dent. General Carrara is described as a man of great moderation, who was likely to do all in his power to maintain order while i❑ power, and to relinquish it with out reluctance when the public interest should require it. No Ministers had been appointed, and the public busi ness was for the present carried on by the chief clerks of the several Ministerial departments. Senor Don P. F. del Castello was thus at the head of the department of finance, and had, by a circular order of August 16, called for information respecting all assignments on the public revenue, suspending all of them until they should I have been duly examined, with the exception of the as signments in favour of the bondholders and of the mili tary on actual duty. This is a very satisfactory indica tion of the intention of the new authorities, and Senor Del Castello assured Mr. Whitehead that such were also the sentiments of General Carrera. The Wye, which arrived at St. Thomas too late for the Atrato, had taken nothing from Vera Cruz for the dividends, but 412,500 from Tarapico,". LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA. (From the Allorniv Post of this day.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, SEPTEMBER 1. The weather we are enjoying on these heights, at the present time, i s prec i sely the same as we experienced when embark e d an d l y i ng at anc h or i n Varna Bay at this time l as t y ear . T he appearance of rain that I noticed yesterday has vanished, and September sets in very fine—much cooler than the weather we were a short time ago complaining of. The new sap, which was intended to lead into a sixth parallel, I understand is now not to be made, and the sap only continued as an ap proach to some rifle pits the Russians have esta blished in front of the Redan, is costing us a great number of lives—no less than 9 officers and 63 men during the last two nights. I have already named the officers who fell on the night of the' 29th. Last night Captain Foster, of the 95th, who had been only one week in the Crimea, was shot ; Cap tain Ross, of the Buffs, taken prisoner ; and the adjutant of the 30th, Lieut. Forbes, had his right arm carried away at the shoulder joint, and, from the effects of injury at the same time caused to the chest, he has since died. Orders were some time since issued for a constant fire of musketry to be kept up on the embrasures of the Redan, which, for a time, had the desired effect of keeping the fire somewhat under, but the Russians have now taken our example, and also keep up a continuous fire of musketry, which, toge ther with the sap that is iu hand being enfiladed by the batteries of the Redan, cause the great increase in our casualties. Previous to this work being com menced, the whole of our casualties in both attacks averaged 35 during the 24 hours, but the greater proportion in the Right Attack. The Andes has arrived outside Balaklava, with drafts for various regiments, from England, and the Bayana has come into harbour also with drafts. Both officers and men appear all boys ; indeed, it would be a rarity to see any other at the 'present time, and it is only astonishing that they go through the work and hardship that they do. There is little talk of an other bombardment or a regular opening of fire, but the noise during the greater part of each night appears as if it would take very much to increase it. What the Russians are about seems equally a mystery. They have given up throwing round shot into our camps during the last day or two, having doubtless been informed of the small amount of damage they caused. SEPT. 2. After a remarkably cool morning, the weather this afternoon suddenly became very warm. The nights are now all chilly,,but occasionally the middle of the day approaches to something like the old heat. The dust everywhere is abominable ; but we have an agreeable reduction in the number of flies, and I wish I could say as much of fleas and other vermin, which infest th e camps t o a grea t ex tent. Little has occurred of general interest to-day. There was much firing last night, but I have not heard of any officers having been among the casual ties. The Indiana has come into harbour with the 82d Regiment, from Cephalonia, which will disembark the day after to-morrow, and take the place of tho 13th Light Infantry at Balaklava, when the latter regiment will go to the front. SEPT. 3. After an exceedingly dusty ride to Balaklava this morning, I found the hills resounding with the music of the band of the 82d on board ship, and the drafts of various regiments that were disem barking might have imagined they had reached a lively place, and were about to enjoy themselves. Poor fellows, I thought as I looked at them—boys fresh and clean from England—they are about enough to supply the expenditure of two or three nights. last night, about eleven o'clock, orders were sent round for all hands to be prepared for a turn out at a- moment's warning ; but as no attack has ever vet come when expected and prepared for, so on this occasion we were not disturbed, except by the preparation. An attack is now expected to-morrow morning. Deserters have reported an army of 90,000 in our rear ; but the Sardinian ca valry, who have been on reconnaissance during the day, report the immediate country to be clear. A Russian artilleryman who has also come in speaks of every preparation having been made to abandon the south side—that the ships in harbour are filled with stones and plugged, ready to bo sunk at the shortest notice. General Pelissicr has this day, I understand, been most anxious for an opening of the bombardment to-morrow morning, but whether to enable them to proceed more ad vantageously with their works, or as preparatory to another assault, I know not. It appears evident from all accounts that the Russians have little idea of holding the south side during the winter; and the question arises, whether they will not abandon it even if we do not assault. A few days seem likely to produce some change. The large force they have now assembled must be maintained with great diffi culty, owing to the immense distance they have to convey their supplies ; and the general belief is that they will make a desperate effort both in front and rear at the same time. It may come to-morrow morning, or on any other; but toujottrs /gets must be our motto. There is an assault of some kind at this very moment, 9 p.m. ; the musketry, which ap pears to be in the direction of the Mamelon or Re dan, is very heavy, and shells are passing through the air like peas—a dozen may be counted at the same instant. All hands are only waiting the word to turn out, and are fully equipped. The following General Orders have just been issued : Head-Quarters before Sebastopol, Sept. 1. A court of inquiry will assemble at the head-quarters of the Second Division, on Monday, the 3d inst., at 10 a.m., to inquire into such matterF as may be brought before it.

The defences of the trenches suffer much from the reckless conduct of the troops in removing gabions, fascine, ammunition boxes, &c., for fuel. The Com mander of the Forces has already publicly forbidden this practice, and is not disposed to permit his order to be disobeyed. An allowance of fuel is issued for the Ilse of the troops in the trenches, and if it is represented as insufficient it shall be increased, but the defences must not be wantonly destroyed. General officers command ing divisions are requested to give directions to officers under their command to exert themselves more in this matter than they appear lately to have done, and to order that any soldier found in possession of, or burning any portion of the gabions, faeines, barrels, or other Ordnance stores, materials, or tools, shall be made a prisoner on leaving the trenches, and be liable to be tried by a court-martial for disobedience of orders. Irregularities have occurred from the payment of balances to soldiers while patients in general hospital. It is right that soldiers' accounts should be periodically balanced, and explained to them at convenient times, but it is contrary to all regulations, and very prejudicial to discipline, that sums of money should be paid to them whilst in hospital—and it is requested that the practice may be discontinued. Mr. Eyre Lloyd is appointed Ordnance clerk, and will do duty under Captain Gordon, Ordnance storekeeper, Balaklava.
