Her Majesty's ship Hecla remained ashore off Gibraltar when the Tagus left.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. The is post ENGLISH e CAMP, i lei eI alteredgh tso Sebastopol, ;f instead . 0 f Jan. leav 29. in gto morrow at twelve o'clock, notice has just been given that it closes immediately. Under these circumstances, [have only time for a few lines. Nothing of interest has occurred since my last. A sortie was made on the French on the night of the 28th, in which the Russians were signally dAatea, and the officer who led the party dangerously wounded and made pri , oner. Ile had just arrived from St. Peters burgh, and was covered with military oriers. A flag of truce was sent in next day from SebastepOl to learn his fate, and propose an exchange. The French bare re fused to give any information about him till his name is divulged. He is believed to be a prince of high rank. All our guns are packed and waiting to be put in po sition. We have 103, an I the Frencli 107. We are not likely to open fire for two or three weeks to come. A great deal of sickness prevails ; 400 men . were in valided yesterday, and 350 to-day. !More again will be sent in to-morrow. . . The Russians have opened fresh batteries. JANUARY 30. The authorities here have again chosen to alter the time-of the mail, so as only to give time for a few addi tional lines. - Beyond the occasional sallies from the garrison no thing is doing. The army which moved from the Tcher uaya has not yet been heard of, though it is believed to have marched in the direction of Eupatoria. All the new English siege guns have been forwarded to camp, and are.there in park. No one knows the reason why they are not got in position at once, especially as the French . have long been ready and are waiting for us. A new advanced work of ours, which, may be termed our second parallel, has had the platforms laid for its guns, which consist of 10 . and 13 inch mortars, and 24 long guns. One or two guns have been placed for the defence of the work in case of a sortie. The French works are entirely completed, and mount 167 guns and mortars. Our lines will mount 103 ditto. We also lend 10 mortars to the French, which will make in all 280 pieces of ordnance bearing upon the town and tatteries. It is still quite problematical when we are likely to open fire. The sanguine say that the whole of our guns can be placed in a week. It is quite true such a thing is possible, but not with the small disposable force which the English can spare. Judging from the general progress which we have made in other matters, I should say it will now be at least three weeks before all the new guns are placed. The enemy in the meantime is not idle • each week witnesses the completion of some new battery earth work. On the south side of the town our artillery offi cers estimate the number of Russian guns at 450. Of the north side we have but few means of judging, except from the general appearance of the place, according to which it seems almost impregnable. The Russians show fearlessly outside their batteries, in large numbers. All of them wear the same kind of sheepskin coats which have lately, been issued to our men. I inspected the town from our right attack yesterday, but there was little worthy of remark beyond the extreme neatness and strength with which all their works are repaired. A large number of troops were employed in throwing up a second line of defence in rear of the Flag-staff Battery. The cemetery, which is situated outside the walls, tells in unmistakeable language that the mortality in the town Must have been very large. Not only the cemetery itself but all round it is completely covered with mounds and fresh-made graves, which would seem t o i n di ca t e th a t some thousands ad lately been interred there. If this is the case with the only cemetery exposed to our fire, it is not too much to presume that others more sheltered and to the north had been even more crowded. We have had continuous fine weather since I wrote last, and all the men are now completely clad in their warm sheep skin coats. The soldiers appear to think it an essential part of their duty to wear on all occasions all the cloth ing which is issued to them. For instance, men em ployed in dragging,up huge guns, or in fatigue parties working with picks and shovels, turn out to their labour when the sun is almost hot swathed up to the chin in thick comforters, flannel shirts, and great-coats, and sheep-skin coats over all. It is sometimes ridiculous to see them moving about in this way, and it isgenerally said that the men now suffer as much from over-clothing as ever they did from being short of it. The huts, I 3111 sorry to say, make no progress. One has been erected to each brigade, to serve for hospital purposes; but beyond these three or four the men are under canvas as usual. Thank heaven we' may now look forward to fine weather. It would be hoping against hope to rely on the wooden huts, which, even if we continua at our pre sent rate, will not be erected much. befqe 4iie-eAsneseez-, is: well ifs. - - ' A mdst.deplefahle amount of atilt lent throughout the whole of our divisions. As the weather is finer, and our troops much better fed, it can only ho accounted for by supposing that the sufferings which our men have undergone iu past months is now telling en them. EitCll day numbers of sick are sent in for invaliding to Scutari, and unless the mortality is as great there as here, the hospital in the Bosphorus must be full. On the 28th the French mules took in 400 of our poor fellows, and on the 20th 350 more. Another hatch, I am told, is to be sent in to-day. I know well that we caunot be losing far short of 2,000 or 2,500 men and officers per week, asd we certainly do lot receive snore than 1,000 in the same time as reinforcements. In fact, it is raw reinforcements—the boys— that are sent out here, which swell our sick list to such inordinate pro portions. The sufferings which our poor fellows undergo, in the transit on mules from the camp to Balaklava, is almost beyond belief. Several always die on the way ; and the long time which they frequently have to wait at the edge of the harbour, until all are taken on board ship, only adds to their severe trials. In order to lighten the last as much as possible, Commander Derrirnan, of the Caradoc, has, with the assistance of his officers, built a little shed, in which a ship's copp er i s fitted, and some 50 or 60 gallons of hot tea kept ready for the arrival of the unfortunate invalids. As the mules bring them in, and while waiting to be embarked, a pint of this is given with some biscuit to each man. It is impossible to de scribe the gratitude which the risen express for the com fort which they say they derive from this slight suste nance. Yesterday I went down to the hut to see it in working order, and it was painful to the last degree to see the miserable, broken-down frames of our men, cla mouring and struggling with all their little strength for a cup of the steaming drink. The whole management of this little store is vested in Mr. Frederick Shead, second master of the Caradoc, and the unremitting kindness, patience, and attention with which he arranges all for the comfort of the sick men, deserve the highest praise. Morning, noon, and t n h ig ia lst, tr w u h ly ene c v h e a r rit t a h b e le sick work c ; orn i w e hic n h , he , at is busy a merely ere a ly t nominal outlay, relieves more misery and suffering than some of the richest charites in London. Some of the invalids sent in yesterday were fearfully frost bitten in the face, arms, and legs, and some were in the very last stage of existence. Five died on the way down, and two while in the boats to be conveyed to the ships. At Balaklava, there is very little worth notice. Many of the wooden huts have been erected at the head of the harbour, and the streets under . the now commandant are certainty better looked after. There is still no sign of the railway. The Malacca, 17, has arrived with one of the yachts from the Crimean Fund, about the name of which latter I am uncertaiu. The Golden Fleece left harbour yesterday, with sick on board • and the A.ndes, Gornelza, and Jason leave there to-day, also full of sick. The mortality among the Turks in Balaklava is per fectly appalling, considering their now reduced numbers. In all the most dirty hovels of the town they congregate in scores and die, without leaving their huts, er making the least complaint. The reckless system of interring them all round the town still goes on, though not to the same extent as formerly. A. number of nurses for the sick have arrived with Miss Stanley from Scutari. They will attend to the hospital at Balaklava, wnich I am bound to state is now in excellent order, and really far surpasses what might have been expected from an hospital in such a place, and conducted under such trying circumstances. Very few of the Cossacks remain round Balaklava, so that the old route by the military road to Sebastopol is now almost entirely open. Horsemen may ride to camp by it with safety. For foot passengers there is still risk, though many go by that way. The enemy has recently erected a heavy battery on the other side of the river Tchornaya. It is composed entirely of long ship's guns, and throws its shot and shell to a considerable distance. It is situated on a precipitous bill, about midway between our right at Inkermau and our rear, over the plains of Balaklava. No one had axy suspicion that such a battery was ever con templated, until, to the surprise of all, it suddenly opened ire two days since. No one cai conceive the object which the enemy had in view i❑ throwing up this work, as its very longest range shots fall nearly 2,000 yards distant from our lines. Yet the Russians fire from it constantly at the few straggling soldiers who quit our lines to search for wood and roots with which to cook their rations. Though it is quite evident to all that the !Russians might fire for ever from this battery without once hurting one of the allies, yet still they keep on wasting their powder and shot without even disturb ing us or the stragglers at whom they are aimed. This, at all events, shows that the Russians are not short cf ammunition of any kind, and are determined to give us all the hindrance they cat), no matter how slight. RUSSIAN PRODUOR.—The anticipations entertained among the dealers in Russian produce regarding the forthcoming proclamation to stop all intercourse with the Queen's enemies having proved erroneous—the measure not bearing upon trade, but being simply directed to dealings i n m un itions of war, kc.—a reaction from the sudden rise of Saturday has taken place in the tallow market, and the quotation, which had advanced to 595. is again 575. per cwt., at which, however, there is a tendency to hrmness.

Augustus Foley, Colonel. Hon. R. Bruce, Colonel. Hon. J. Lindsay, Colonel. Hon. G. Cadogan, Hon. A. Gordon, Colonel. Hon. H. M. Percy, Lieutenant-C,)lonel. Hon. H. T. Forrester, Lieutenant-Colonel.

There are also five eldest eons of baronets, and the un der-mentioned officers, also closely connected with noble families:— Lieutenant-Colonels.—Clifford, Hopwood, and Wyn yard. Captains.—Hatton, Digby, and Mitchell. Lieutenants.—Clive, Tracy, and Clayton. 62 in all ;—tolerably well for one regiment There is here an evident suppressio 'seri on the part of Lord Malmesbury ; and also in his omitting any men tion of the officers of the Life Guards, the show soldiers. A correspondent in this day's Times asks, if Lord Raglan still receives the salary of Master-General of the Ordnance ? which, for his satisfaction. I answer in the affirmative ; also, that he has 1,6001. or 1,8001. as Colonel of the Blues, a pension for wounds, and his ap pointments in the Eaet, amounting iA all to not far short of 10,0001. per annum. What services he has rendered to his country to entitle him to such great rewards I leave to others to discover. I know that he is the son of one duke and the proteg6 of another, and he was made a Lieutenant-Colonel at 23 years of age, and has for 30 or 40 years had an easy birth at somewhere about 2,0001. per annum, besides a regiment, &c. Y,TIN GUIS TIE R.V2Pgs-7 . _ (From lice United Service Gazette.) A correspondent of tho United Service Gazette, serving before Seba , topol, cAlls our attention to several oases of promotion fur "distinguished service " of t•t,ff officers who, neither at Alma, Balaklava, nor Likerman, were wit'iin range of the fire at those battles, and are there fore so questionable that they call for the strictest in vestigation—in defiance of aristocratic or Parliamentary influence—on the part of Lord Hardinge, for the satis faction, not only of the country, but of the profes sion so deeply interested. It is his Lordship's im perative duty to institute inquiry, and failing to du 80, we trust that the matter will be taken up and ex posed by some ineependent member of Parliament. Besides the whole of the staff of Sir Richard Eng land's division, which was in reserve, anti scarcely heard the din of battle on the 20th of September and the sth of November, and to whose questionable position in these combats wo shall call attention further on, we are particularly referred to the promotion of Brevet-Major Hamilton, of the 47th Regiment, as Deputy-Assistant in the Quartermaster-General's department—that de partment to whose culpable negligence, in not immedi ately constructing a road from Balaklava to the camp, is chiefly imputed the calamities and sufferings which our brave soldiers have endured. We should like to know whether Brevet-Major Hamilton or Brevet-Major Stuart Wortley, both of the Quartermaster-General's staff, were under the enemy's fire, either at Alma, Bala klava, or Inkerman ? On the contrary, was not the former on the beach, out of earshot, while the battle of the Alma was razing ? Was he not afterwards snugly ensconced, out of danger, in his office at Balaklava dur ing the other two battles? Did Brevet-Major Stuart Wortley partieipate, under fire, in any one of the three battles ? No ; the division (Sir R. England's) to which he was attached was in reserve, and not engaged. The above two officers of the Quartermaster-General's staff obtained the brevet rank of Major, for " distin gutshed service !" The other cases to which we would refer are the whole of the staff, with the exception of the subalterns, of Sir Richard England's division who have a l so o bt a i ne d steps of promoti on for "distinguished service," and who, like Brevet-Major Wortley, were, for the same cause, out of danger of the enemy's ire. Their names are : The Hon. F. Colborne, 15th Regiment, as Assistant- Quartermaster-General, gazetted from Brevet-Major to Brevet-Lieutenant -Colon e l. The Hon. Adrian Hope, 50th Rifles, Brigade -Major to the Division, also gazetted from Brevet-Major to Brevet - Lieutenant -Colon e l. J. S. Wood, lath Regiment, Assistant-,Adjutant- General, gazetted from Brevet-Major to Breyet-Liente nant-Colonel. Captain 1 evill , Scots Fusilier Guards, Aida-de-Camp to Sir R. England, gazetted to Brevet-Major. Captain Daniell, 38th Regiment, Aide-de-Camp to Sir J. Campbell, Commanding Ist Brigade of the Division, gazetted a Brevet-Major. Captain Graham, 11th Regiment, Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Eyre, commanding 2d Brigade of the Division, obtained a brevet-majority after being less than five months a captain ! All these, be it observed, were selected for their dis tinguished service !—in the reserve ! Shame— thame— shame Having brought the above canes to the notice of the public, Lord Rardinge, we presume, being already cog nisant of their merits, we shall look forward with much intermit to the coarse which his lordship may adopt to remove the stigma attached to him by the wholesale, should the facts be proved, perversion of patronage, exhibited in the promotion of so many persons. Should the Commander-in-Chief order the necessary investigation, or, failing it, should the public insist on inquiry, we hope, in the particular case of Major Ha milton, that whoever recommended him to Lord Raglan for promotion for distinguishei service before the enemy may be deservedly exposed for abusing the confidence placed in him, by surreptitiously smuggling the name of an officer and by false representation, obtaining advance ment in the service. QUERIES RELATING TO THE NEWS PAPER STAMP. Is not the stamp equivalent to a newspaper copyright ? and if it were repealed, would not the most important contents of the daily newspapers be immediately re• printed in all large towns, and sold in penny or half penny sheets, to the injury of nil existing newspapers ? Has it not been owing to the security afforded by the stamp, together with the guaranteed free circulation of newspapers by post, that an immense capital has been employed in their production thus rendering the British press altogether unrivalled both for priority of information and for the talent with which it is con ducted ? Would not the abolition of the stamp, and that of the free circulation of papers by post, not only injure, if not destroy, the present newspaper press, but also create another inferior to it in every respect ! Would an unstamped penny or halfpenny political press be desirable in seditious times ? If not, would it be wise to create one at present !—Morning Chronicle.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. INCAPACITY OF LORD RAGLAN. (Prom the Times of this day.) By this time Lo r d R ag l an has been put in possess i on of the opinions prevailing in this country respecting the conduct of the Crimean expedition, and we have reason to believe that ho protests with some strenuousness against the coaelusions which would attach culpability t 4 hinaselfer hisstaff. Toe que,tion itself is one of the gravest importance on public is i less than private grounds. That maxim of our institutions that every man is innocent until he has been proved otherwise is assuredly not with out its force when the pee-son concerned is a General in command of an army, previously enjoying a good profes sional reputation, and as yet unheard in his own defence. In such a ems we are even more than usually bound by the laws c,f justice to the observance of.moderaqon and forbearance, but we must needs express our opinion that those laws have not been hitherto transgressed. Lord Raglan has been charged with "incapacity," and it has been asked, more or less plainly, that he should be re called from his command. In this dernaml is there ail thine' unreasonable or unfair h--anything of which hie lordship or his friends are entitled to complain ! We think not, and we request the reader to follow us impar tially through a few observations. Lord ..A.berdeen observed, with great candour, on the occasion of his res i gnation, that the discon tent of the country with the, Government was a natural consequenee o f_ the ' 4 ,11-si4ess which had attended its measures ; am}- argument was tood - in -di! .case of t4o , Aiiit raesshow Muchh_ more forcible must be its - applicat oil'to the Commander in-Chief abroad—to the general actually on the spot in charge of the army, and with the power of control over all its operations I Mr. Gladstone reminded the House of Commons, in an elaborate speech, that even the offi cers of the various military departments were reason. sible to Lord Raglan alone, and that no step could be properly taken by the Government in the way of dis placing or superseding them without his knowledge and consent. We need not, however, pursue this argument further, or enter into any explanation of the authority with which a Commander-in-Chief is invested over all branches of the army. He is, unquestionably, the per son responsible at first sight for the conduct and results of the war ; he shares most largely in the honours and profits of success, and it is he from whom account is ftrst due in the case of disaster. No doubt he may clear himself from blame, but that a responsibility does attach to his office proportioned to its authority is what we think no reasoning man would deny. More especially is this the case when the misfortunes of an expedition have been, to all appearance, avoidable, when they have been traceable much m ore to our own weakness than to the enemy's strength, and when the superiority acquired by the personal intrepidity of our troops has been lost for want of the talents which should have turned their valour to amount. If we had been overmatched in the field, defeated in fair fight, op pressed by irresistible rigours of climate, or otherwise overborne by invincible calamities, there would be little to be said. No general can be held absolutely or un conditionally responsible for success ; and even a van quished commander may deserve reward. B ut when, as in the Crimea, all that could be reason a bl y asked of Fortune has been granted, and more than could land ing,ex- pected dbe soldiers o a ld eh i e i e r sv andetn heroically entths,e ann march a e wr r cfhoher when a were e th d e failure h as b een - wh all so manyet h obviously confined to the administrative dep artments of the army—it is surely nothing bat reasonabl e that the triumphant the of battle, officer to whom the chief administration of the army was committed should be thought accountable prima facie for the consequences ensuing. The same rule of pro ceeding by which Lord Raglan was honoured with a Field Marshal's rank brings him also a Field Marshal's , responsibility • • • • nor will the public, we think, be very able to comprehend the principle on which Lord John Russell, after declaring that the army had been brought to a " horrible and heartrending" condition by means "inexplicable" even to himself, could stand up a few day s afterwards and stigmatise as " ribaldry" the comments of a press which • had questioned the capacity of that army's commander for the situation he filled. Premising this much on the general question, we can review the events of the expedition without prejudice or partiality. In so far as the delays permitted were de trimental to the enterprise, the result is probably not imputable to the decision of the commander on the spot. We can understand also by what succession of events the army found itself on the heights between Balaklava and Sebastopol without the supplies necessary for its own well-doing or the munitions required for the siege. Probably the principle adopted was that of sacrificing every other consideration for the chanee of getting into Sebastopol as quickly as possible. if this could b e p.c . _ spots, , .or 'cipmr, titidatfilai;,, 146[4 OW ' ps would lan their 'etargoeiron the regular keys of the great harb our , and our troops, if it w a s d eo ki r d t o w i nter in the Cri mea, would be comfortably hedg e d i n th e town. There was something, therefore, t o b e sa id f or the plan of con centrating every effort on th e cons t ruct i on of batteries and the accumulation of s i ege ma t er i a l , even to the ne glect of all precautions against the continge. cy of failure. Possibly, if Lord Raglan had set about making a road from Balitkava at the end of September, iv.- stead of getting up his guns and ammunition to the heights, it might have been said that a more decisive policy would have saved him all this trouble by putting him in possession of Sebastopol itself. Up to the 17th of October—indeed, the day on which the can nonade fitst opened, the tactics employed admit of ex planation, if not of defence, bet that morning should have terminated all doubt as to the tree state of affair,. We know, from Lord Raglan's own despatches, that the prospect of " ulterior rneasures”—theit is to say, of the assault and capture of the town—began then to appear indefinitely remote, and that th e great feature of the operations—the advantage of the besieged over the besiegers in all the conditions required for a successful siege—was completely established. But why, under such circumstances, were not tke tactics changed ? Why when it was clear that we must be dependent for some i roads, and d om to r time on the resources of o ur own position, were not those resources collected and assured ? There was still time to open and secure comm un i cation with Balaklava, dpt w oor h 7pvi n rlisioaol it cful i lcret d,teoapol allreinforcements, that to late. ii This get clothingconstructinstore, is on e of the leading points for e inquir s y. Assuming, as we may certainly do, that all, or nearly all, the consequences which actually ensued was to be foreseen on the spot after the failure of the 17th of October, it becomes a point of inquiry how soon facts and impressed with acainted with these due sense of th e altered position of the array, the Ministry at home were z, Judging from their proceedings, it appears as if they only adopted, after the news of the battle of Inkertnan those measures which should have been executed without the loss of an hour after the news of the ineffectual cannonade. Up to a certain period—viz., the 17th of October, the tac tics of the campaign were, as we have said, intelligible, but the situation became immediately altered by the events of that day, and the chief disasters of the expedi tion seem to have arisen from the fact that the course of proceedings was not altered accordingly. Whether the result was due to failure of perception, and, if so, whe ther the failure was abroad or at h ome—whether appli cations for succour were not made or not heeded—is more than can be yet certified. On one point—that of the unroasted coffee—we have already seen it stated that Lord Raglan bad made strong and early representations, but without effect, an d the s ame meth o d o f exculpation may, undoubtedly, be open to hire — on other points. What the public cannot understand is how the only two arties to whom responsibility can ultimately attach of incapacity should both be blameless together after disasters which have plainly occurred from incompetence of administra tion alone. Government may have left Lord Raglan with insufficient means of action, or Lord it ag i an * may have failed in turning those stea t ns to account ; but that BiX miles from port, have perished by thousands for want of common necessaries, is more than the country can believe. b w o h t e h n a o r u e rt tree bepesx, e a m t the e diet from n c e 1 0 l e f c o n a l r y g e "Hwe.ads.estirheed be.ond all one thing LOUD CLARINDOIT. —Lord .

Pleased with the gratifyi n g sight, it was natural to inquire whether all the regiments were so well provided on their march. The landlord of the Railway Hotel, however, informed ui that the enter tainment was a special one, and was ordered from him the day before by Lord Palmitin., in compliment to the corps in which he Lad formerly served. The gallant survivors of the 791.11, now encamped on the heights above Balaklava, will probably remember thb attention of their old companion in arms ; and the army in the Crimea will rejoice to find themselves under the care of one who was capa.irle of evincing such a kindly and soldiery regard for the corps with which he had served, even when he was no longer enrolled in their ranks.— riforn iay Chronicle.

DUBLIN, Feb. 10.—For the last two days we seem to be living over again the old fashion time before railways acid steam-packets were in vogue, so completely blocked up have we been by the snow. Since midday yesterday the telegraph lines have indeed been our_ sole medium ' of communication with England, and with some por tions of Ireland also ; the ordinary express from Holy head, due last night, not having arrived up to the pre sent hour (half p as t 11 a.m .), nor o f course t h e English mail due here this morning ; while we are fully twenty four hours in arrears of letters and papers from the west and so u th o f Ireland. The snow-storm commenced on Thursday n i g h t, yesterday warn i ng, and continu e d to an advanced hour attended by a terrific gale from the east, which drifted the snow in some localities to such a height that in several places the highways were almost impassable. In the suburbs the drifts were found so deep as five or six feet. The intense cold prevented the snow from melting, and thus rendered its removal by carts and the cleating of the pathways the more easy ; but this seemed to be almost the only occupa tion which c could be pt ri,ued out of doe's during the day, the a ppearAtice of the city was lifeless and inisei able in the extreme. The trains on the Northern Railway have continued ti run, thourzli of course considerably impeded —but on the Grat Southern and Western line there has been an abmolute su , perision of tratlic ; and the mails front Cork and Limerick, due yesterday morning, have not yet been received, the down tuals, which were sent out from Dublin yesterday morning, having, after a fruitless attempt to proceed along the Hue, been brought I t the post-offic e . The traffic on the Midland Rail , Aay eulfere i but little, owi.ig to the arrangements made to clear the line. The principal anxiety felt was for the fate of the ship ping, which, owing to the fury of the storm from the east, were exposed to imminent danger on this coast. Several painful rumours about the Dublin and Liver pool steamers have turned out to have been entirely un founded. The weather still continues extremely severe. There was a hard frost last night, with a continuance of the eastern gale, but no more snow. SATURDAY EVENING.—The news of a fatal and very melancholy shipwreck off this coast was received in Dublin to-day. The Will-o'-the-Wisp, a steamer, 400 tons burden, employed in the coal trade, and chartered by an Irish railway company to convoy coals from Maryport to Dublin, went on shore at Lambay Island in the gale of last night, and was discovered this morn ing a total wreck, the accounts which reached town stating that the captain and all hands were lost. It is added that the masters of some coal vessels now dis charging cargoes in Dublin were on board, and perished with the others. The London morning papers of yesterday, due by the ordinary express a t 10 o ' clock last night, did not reach Dublin till a few minutes before 12 to-day, when they were received by mail, and delivered at the same time with last evening's London papers. The frost still con tinues, and the wind blows pretty freshly from the east, but we have had no fall of snow since yesterday morning. It is stated that every arrangement was made for Mr. Keogh, the Solicitor-General, to go as judge on the western circuit at the approaching assizes, and that the commission wai actually made out for the purpose, when it was discovered that by accepting even the temporary trust he would vacate his seat in Parliament, and have to stand a new election for A.thlone. The same difficulty will exist for Mr. Serjeant O'Brien, the new member for Limerick, who has hitherto gone circuit for one of the absent judges. PRUSSIAN FIRE-A.RM4". A standing committee has been appointed in Berlin under the presidency of the Prince of Prussia, for the examination and testing of all improvements in fire arms and projective implements of war, and all matters connected therewith—whether foreign or indigenous. It is to this important branch of the service that the War Department pays constant and deserved attention, under the direct eye of the King ; and it will be seen, if ever the Prussian army should take the field, that all her line battalions and field batteries will be equal, if they do not surpass, on the aggregate, those of all other armies, as regards armament and field equipment. The gradual introduction of 12-pounder instead of 6-pounder foot batteries is determined upon. At pre sent, however, ouly four out of the twelve field batteries (ninety-six guns), attached to each corps d'etrmee, are of the former calibre. The remainder consist of ono heavy howitzer, three light horse, and four heavy six , pounder foot companies. The nine corp d'armee furnish 864 field-pieces, the whole of which are now manned, horsed, and ready for work. The proportion of field pieces to bayonets and sabres, as the effective army now stands, on paper (say 135,000 men), is theref ore enor mous, being more than six per 1,000. Supposing re serves and first-class Laudwehr to be called out, and the army placed on its normal war footing of 344,060, including garrisons—or say 300,000 bayonets and sabres fcr field work—the proportion would not fall far short of three guns per 1,000 at starting, and would exceed that nember after a few weeks' campaigning had thinned the ranks. EXPORTS OF LEAD AND GUNPOWDER. A letter from Bodin received this morning contains followin.; : " According. to mercantile reports large quantities of lead are lxing imported into Dradzio. This lead thence Surly, or will Sock it: way into Russia, there to be converted into balls to be fired at tan Allied lroopF. It is hiji time that the Board of Trade, or some other board, should look to these matter=.

Why, let it be asked, is this or that class of English meichants to be benefitted or spared at the expense of the community at large, who must pay in blood an 1 treasure for their special profit ? Forbearance and consideration for special inte rests have been carried to their utmost limits. We are rapidly approaching the season for reopening navigation. A different system must then be pursued. Every month's prolongation of that hitherto adopted has only stirred to augment in a double proportion the resources of the direct enemy, and to strengthen Prussia, the more than indirect friend of our enemy. " Something is said of Prussia having forbidden the export of powder seawards. It is not aided that she has done so landwards. Against whom then is tile mea sure directed ? Certainly not against Russia, for all the Russian ports are ice -locked, and will continue so fer at Ifea.t seven or eight weeks. At Memel, for instance, the sea was covered with ice as far as the eye could scan on the 4th." THE PRESS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE. (From the Moniteur of Saturday.) It is useful to remind the press, both in France and abroad, of the imperious duties of discretion which the security and interest of our troops impose on their pa triotism and impartiality. For the purpose of gratifying the impatience, otherwise so legitimate, of their readers, the journals publish, on the military operations of the Crimes, information, sometimes correct, but more frequently false, which is transmitted to them from the theatre of war, or taken from letters written by officers and soldiers to their families. When these re citals are false they mislead public opinion ; and when true are attended with a still more serious incon venience—that of giving the enemy some idea of the plans and means of attack combined by the Generals-in- Chief in their secret councils ; and so everything that ought carefully to be kept secret is revealed. In both cases this publicity is dangerous, and evea culpable, and, if it cannot be repressed in countries where discussion is free, it will certainly be sufficient to point out the danger of such indiscretions to render them henceforth impossible Every one must, in fact, comprehend that letters written from the Camp of Sebastopol, on the operations of the siege, are not intended for the Russians. To change these confidential letters into articles for journals, is to expose the lives of the heroic besiegers. in a time of war, silence is some times a sacred. duty for th ose w h o every day ad dress the public ; if j ourna l s l ose something by this, as far as their interest goes, they gain considerably in self respect. We a re no longer in that state of war abroad that it should necessarily lead to dictatorship at borne. The Governments which have accepted the honour and responsibility of a great struggle, entered into for the purpose of insuring the independence and balance of power in Europe, have found it necessary to decree laws in telligence of public sa f e ty. Th e y have relied on the of public opinion,as well as on the heroism ? Ow patience, and the abnegation of their armies and their fleets ; they have not been deceived on any point, neither will they be disappointed when they reque s t f rom t h e press o f all countries the patriotism of discretion." FIRE IN TIM HACKNEY -ROAD.—a. fire of A very de structive character, and attended with • great loss of property, happened yesterday morning, in the premises belonging to Mr. Smith, a boot and shoe maker, situate in the Haeliney-roa.d.
