The cool determination of England at the pre sent moment is very remarkable. Like Lord LYNDHURST, in his admirable exposure of Prussia, when we say England we distinguish between the Court and the people. It is difficult not to sus spect a Court with which the do-nothing ABERDERN was the favourite, and difficult not to fear its present influence with a Prime Minister who once was reprimanded by the Sovereign whom ho now serves. It is, however, a striking fact that in this land of business men and operatives not a public meeting of any class can be brought together which does not insist on the justice and necessity of the War, which does not demand terms humb ling and disenabling to Russia, and which does not in many instances assert the necessity of re. storing Poland as the eastern barrier of Europe. Commercial men believe their operations to be in some degree interfered with by the war. Our work men conceive that it has something to do with the price of the quartern loaf, and with the de mand for labour ; shopkeepers understand that of the millions squandered on transports no portion din pass into their tills ; yet everywhere the feel ing is the same—that the objects of the War must be attained. The incurable extravagance, and the defiant, unbusiness-like, and aristocratic ap pointments of the Government are witnessed with inward groans, and yet the groans are far deeper if there is any suspicion of diplomatic weakness and faithlessness. It is in this attitude of calm preparation for sacrifices that England determines to have her way with Russia. The task seems more and more difficult, yet we perceive not a breath of fear or hesitation. The only fear expressed is at of a peace unworthy of our past sacrifices. Vienna is more dreaded than Sebastopol. The news from the latter place we can hardly say im roves. We are indeed thankful to read of the returning health of the troops, of the completed railroad, and consequent saving of heart-sinking toil, of poney-races and dog-hunts as a relaxation from siege duty ; but we also hear of increased ussian activity in advanced earthworks, and of vast supplies of ammunition and reinforcements of troops arriving. We cannot overlook the fact that if we are in a better position than when we arrived, that of the Russians is fully as much im proved. Looking all this in the face, the deter mination of the country is fixed—Sebastopol must be disarmed. The sentiment of France is, no doubt, stronger than ours on that point. It would seem to be absolutely impossible for the Emperor to leave Sebastopol a maiden fortress. It would be fatal to any Cabinet here ; but there the supreme power is, in fact, the Cabinet ; the nation which elected him the only Parliament, and it would pronounce him unworthy of France if his first military effort were a failure. The domestic consequences of mortifying so deeply the French love of martial glory no one can foresee. Happily it is not a mere sentiment of shame or of military glory which bears on this question, eithe r in France or England. Sebastopol is a convicted pirate's nest. The perfidy and cowardice of Sinope has damned it and its fleet to eternal infamy. .But every day of the siege has mad e g its destiny mo re and more manifest. Its bound less stores of ammunition could have had but one object. It was a naval and military depot against all the coasts of the Euxine, against all Asia especially against Constantinople. Suppose and ' once master of that Suppose Russia capital, the shores of the Bosph o rus strongly f ort i fied, and this vast arsenal behind it, and not o n l y would the Black Sea be indeed a Russian lake, but a l l the Fast, and Italy, and eventually farther west too, would come completely under her dominant influence. It will be fatuity indeed if Lord JOHN and our Cabinet consent to leave a gun or a ship of the line in Seba s topol. It must be dismantled —gibbeted—as a warning to all Russian posterity. Nor that alone : Nicolaieff must share its fate, and every robber fortress on the Euxine must be also surrendered. Russia must have nothing in the Black Sea but protection for her trade. She must be cured once for all of her conquering pro pensities there. We confess to some misgivings respecting our 'representative at Vienna. He has ever been a ready tool of the COBURG; and well we know what they want. Lord JOHN wants the grand essential of the hour—greatness of mind. NICHO LAS far surpassed him in conceptions worthy of a statesman. Lord JOHN is so habituated to the life-long compromise of a Whig senator that he cannot easily rise above political bargaining. His not wishing to diminish the territories of Russia is as fatal to his reputation as a foreign statesman as his finality folly to his character as a liberal politician. We have no doubt whatever that were Lord JOHN RUSSELL known to be a hopeless subject for the manipulations of Russian cunning, were it known that his terms were, the coasts of the Black Sea as well as Sebastopol dismantled ; and if that be not conceded, Poland to be re stored—that Russia would grasp at the alterna tive which she now professes to reject as an in lignity. We fear Lord JOHN'S character and views are just what will embolden Russia to ask what she would have known to be hopeless from L PITT or a CANNING. We do not wonder that our aristocracy feel ashamed of what they have now to do. They have smiled on or tolerated the villanies of Russia so long—they have so helped to nurse the - vanity aid ambition of the late CzAn through all his atrocities and treacheries, that they must feel rather awkwardly in having to curtail Russian power and influence. It must, however, be done, at a reasonable cost now, or at a tremendous one ere many years are past. Consideration for Rus sia has been the bane of this whole struggle. She is a purely barbarian power, with no claim to influence or respect but that of vast size and brute force, and she cannot appreciate consideration. She repaid permission to pass the Pruth by into lerable barbarities in the provinces ; and the sparing of Odessa by firing on the stranded Tiger. In like manner she would repay the toleration of I battery at Sebastopol by increasing it again gra dually and insidiously to its present strength, and the sparing of the dockyards of Nicolaieff by build ing fresh ninety-gun ships for another Sinope. Let our Cabinet take care how they consent to Coburg and Austrian terms of peace on behalf of the English people. The ulterior consequence, we all know, of the celebrated Act 16 and 17 VICT., c. 99, has been the virtual abolition of the punishment of trans portation. Its immediate result has been the detention amongst us of an increasing multitude of criminals, who would otherwise have been con veyed away in ship-loads to Van Diemen's Land and Western Australia. We have, therefore, by relieving our colonies from a very undeserved in fliction, multiplied rather considerably our own difficulties, anxieties, and responsibilities. All this has been simultaneously a national= act of ustice, and a national act of magnanimity. It will, we doubt not for a single instant, be regarded by the future annalist of Great Britain as an event demanding the most earnest, if not the most eulogistic, celebration. Whatever evils may devolve upon ourselves from the remarkable change upon which we have thus daringly, and even let us say generously, adventured, must be aceopted in expiation of the wrong hitherto in dicted by us, during an interval of years so pro traoted and deplorable, upon our remote and un- Afending possessions. Conspicuous among the inflictions requiring in this manner to be endured for a while as courageously and uncomplainingly as may be well practicable under existing circum stances, is the exceedingly apparent one already adverted to, namely, the enormous increase in the number of felons in the United Kingdom faunally undergoing the penalties of incarceration. It is so far satisfactory, at any rate, to know that I she energy of our authorities steadily continues to keep pace with the numerical enhancement of their responsibilLies. Under their vigorous and intiring management of the principal Convict Prisons, and of the subordinate penal establish nents throughout the country, no difficulty has yet been experienced in the way of providing for )ur prisoners, male and female, adult and juve- ❑ile, an adequate amount of accommodation. Pro vision has in this respect been carefully secured beforehand, insomuch that every exigency has been hitherto effectually anticipated. In testi mony of this—take the most recent and sufficient illustration. During the year 1853 the total number of convicts having to bo provided for, somehow or other, within the twelvemonths, amounted to 9,227 altogether. While accommodation for 9,408 prisoners must be recognised as having been forthwith placed betimes at the disposal. of Government by the provident and energetic Board of Directors over whom Colonel Jess has so long and successfully presided in his twofold capacity as Chairman, and Surveyor-General of the Prisons of England. How it was that this terrible multi tude of criminals (9,227) became distributed—in what proportions and for what reasons they were distributed--whither and under what circum stances they were distributed—we have recently taken occasion to explain in these columns with some degree of particularity. A gigantic change has since then taken place by reason of a compre hensive modification of our entire system of cri minal jurisprudence. It has been decided by the Legislature that recourse must no longer be had to the old, worn-out, exploded, obsolete plan of wholesale transportation. Exactly 700 out of the 9,227 before mentioned were shipped from these islands to our distant colonies during the year 1853: 100 by the Sibella to Gibraltar ; 600—. namely, 296 by the Pyrenees, and 304 by the Sea Park—to Western Australia. This convenient, but at the same time unjust and blundering sys tem, we repeat, has since then been abolished ; the notable enactment, 16 and 17 VICT., c. 99, having virtually done away with punishment by transportation. The convict population of the United Kingdom must henceforth be provided for within the limits of the United Kingdom. Accotn modation consequently must be found, not as in 1853, for 7,760 prisoners out of the aggregate, for the year of 9,227, but for 9,227 as a mini- MUM, ! Whether it has been so arranged we have shown by the simple but adequate statement-- that already by the 31st of Maroh, 1854, previ sion for no less than 9,408 criminals had been placed by the Board of Directors at the disposal of her MAJESTY'S Government. The accomnioda- I tion so secured was, as a matter of course, of various descriptions. It included provisions in this way for 620 juveniles, at Parkhurst ; for 700 females at Brixton ; for 1,048 in the invalid depots ; for 2,950 in separate cells, whether in (rented) county or borough cells, as at Bath and Wakefield, or in the noble Government establishments at Millbank and Pontonville ; and, beyond all this, for as many as 4,090 in the prisons and hulks for 1 450 on b oar public works—viz., d the Warri or , 52 8 on board the D3fouce, 572 (for the able-bodied) at Dartmoor, 1,020 at Portsmouth in connection with the dockyard, and 1,520 at Portland in connection with the Ordnance and t h e Breakwat er . It must be manifest from thes e brief and comprehensible statistics—statistics carrying us no further that; up to the 31st of March, 1854, that is to gay , nearly a year from the present period—that th e utmost desirable energy and activity, judgment, and forethought, have been manifested by the intelligent body of administrators entrusted with the responsible office of caring for the proper management, discipline, and distribution of our formidable army of felons—our vast and increas ing criminal population. The real extent, the relative value, the actual importance of this timely display of energy, activity, judgment, and fore thought by the distinguished Surveyor-General of Prisons, and his not unworthy collaborateurs, can alone be understood after a careful considera tion in detail of what we have here been enabled only to speak of in generality. It may then be recognised how much a wholesome routine, guided by au active patriotism, may contrive to effect in the way at once of rapid improvement and of systematic and symmetrical organisatiGn. Would to HBAVEN the example thus shown by the officials entrusted with the discipline and management of our Convict Prisons had been emulated, in some measure at least, by other departments in our complicated scheme of Administration ! However invidious it may seem to specify any Department particularly, let us say, for example, by that of the Commissariat ! cons , CIRCULAR. The Queen and P r i nce Alb ert l e f t O s b orne at two o'clock yesterday afternoon for London, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and the Prince of Leininger. The ladies and gentlemen in waiting were Lady Churchill, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General Bouverie, Captain Du Plat, the Master of the Household, and Mr. Gibbs. Her Majesty and the Prince crossed from Cowes in the Fairy royal steam-yacht to Gosport, travelled by a special train on the South-Western Railway, and pro ceeded from the private station at Vauxhall with the royal suite in six of the Queen's carriages, escorted by a party of Carbineers, to Buckingham Palace, where the royal party arrived at ten minutes before six o'clock, and were received by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Listowel, Viscount Torrington, Lord Alfred Paget, Sir Fred. Stovin, and Major-General Wylde. The Earl of Clarendon had an audience of her Majesty. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, honoured the Princess's Theatre with their presence in the evening. The royal suite consisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon. Lucy Kerr, the Earl of Listowel, Major-General Bouverie, and Captain Du Plat. Ensign Roderick M. Campbell was presented, at the Queen's Le Yee on March 14, by the Hon. Fred. Vil liers, on his appointment to the 4th Royal Elthorne Militia. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, arrived at her residence, Clarence-house, St. James's, on Thursday, from Frogmore. PITE,SENTS TO THE ALLIED ARMIES IN TILE CRIMEA. In the month of January last Mr. Minton, of Wind sor, butcher to her Majesty, forwarded three remark ably fine rounds of beef to the seat of war in the East, directed respectively to Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, his Royal Highness the Duke. of Cambridge, and General Canrobert. The beef was skilfully cured, and packed in air-tight tubs, so that its quality and flavour might be preserved for several months. Mr. Minton wrote to each of the illustrious personages to whom the tubs were consigned, begging their acceptance of his characteristic gifts, and informing them that the beef had been cut from prime Scotch oxen, fed on the Royal farms at Windsor occupied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Yesterday's post brought the following acknowledgment from Lord Raglan : "Before Sebastopol, March 5. "Major Kingston is desired by Lord Raglan to acknow ledge the [receipt of Mr. MiEton's letter, of January the 3d, and also of the round of beef, which arrived only two days ago. Lord Raglan desires to express his grateful ac knowledgments of so acceptable a present, which he values the more highly on account of the kind sympathiesand noble sentiments which accompanied it ; such expressions from those at home being most welcome to any one serv ing and fighting for their country." It will be seen by the dates that the small tubs of beef were floating in the harbour of Bala.klava, or stranded in the morass which, unfortunately, separated that port from the English camp for several weeks. In the meantime his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was invalided and on his way to this country. The letter, however, had been received, and called forth the following reply from his Royal Highness : " St. James's, Feb. 22. am desired by the Duke of Cambridge to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2d of January, which has been this day received, and to express to you his Royal Highness's best thanks for the round of beef which you had the kindness to send to the Crimea, where such good things are most acceptable ; and his Royal Highness also desires me to thank you for the kind wishes expressed in your letter. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " CHAS. TYRWHITT, Lieut.-Colonel, Equerry." The beef was despAched through the agency of the managers of the Crimean army Fund. From General Canrobert, the commander-in-chief of the French army, no reply has yet been received. RIOTS IN STAFFORDSHIRE. NVOLVERTIAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING. The colliers of this neighbourhood, who are under notice of a reduction of wages, have been visit e d by col liers from the Potteri e s, w h o have received similar notices, and, instigated by the latter, the colliers of Bilston and the locality have today been committing serious depredations, in one or more instances pillaging shops, and, in several, forcibly preventing those colliers from continuing their work who were desirous of retaining their employment at the new rates of wages. Mobs, numbering between 3,000 and 5,000, assembled in Bil ston and the roads near that town, causing the utmost alarm to the inhabitants, where, from about noon, the shops have been closed and business entirely suspended. The police in endeavouring to disperse them were attacked and one member of the force received serious injuries. The constables sharged with their sabres, and after drawing blood the mob fled; only however for a time, as now (3 o'clock) their threats have increased the alarm of the inhabitants. Troops have been sent for. A tele graphic message has just been received from Colonel Shale, of the E,sex Rifles, that 100 of his men will leave Weedon for Bilston forthwitb. The police perambulate the streets with drawn cutlasses, and several arrests have been made. For the protection of this town, where also the shops have been partially closed, the Wolverhamp ton troop of Yeomanry and a body of enrolled pen sioners have been called up by the Mayor. 9 o'CLoca. Several hundred colliers have just left this town with the avowed determination of forcibly liberating their brethren who have been arrested. BILSTON, Mizell 23. - - Yesterday and to-day there has been some rioting at Bilston. The colliers this morning, after visiting seve ral pits in the neighbourhood and compelling the men to leave their work, assembled in Oxford-street to the number of 2,000 or 3,000, armed with pick handles, and took provisions from the shops. They attacked the shop of Mr. Kendrick and wounded Mr. Kendrick's son. The police were hemmed in by the mob, and one police officer named Devonport was injured by a stone. Mr. Gettings, ironfounder, and his son, who were passing down the street in a gig, were attacked because they re fesed to give money. The son was struck by the mob and was much hurt. In another part of the street a police-officer took refuge in the shop of Mr. Cremonini, furniture dealer. The mob at once surrounded the house, and they seemed about t o ma k e an attac k upon it, when they were charged by a body of 30 police-con stables and the officer rescued. The street was soon cleared. Six of the rioters, named Josiah Fereday, Henry Everall, William Cummins, Richard M'Cann, Michael Doon, and John Welsh, were this afternoon brought up at the petty sessions charged with rioting, and all except Welsh were committed for trial at the assizes. The military have been sent for. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, arrived at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, on Thursday, from Frogmore. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, will arrive in town this morning from Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray. The Earl Beauchamp arrived in Grovesnor•place yep terday from Worcestershire. The Blackwall, from Port Philip, has brought 50,000 ounces of gold, valued at 200,0001. Loss •F THE SOUTHERN CROSEL—A few weeks since, tho magnificent vessel the Southern Cross was launched at Teignrnouth, which port she left on Friday week last. Intelligence has since been received that she foun dered on a rock off Caernarvon, and that she has since gone to pieces. One man was lost, and two others are much injured. WRECK AND NMENSE Loss OF LIFE.—SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, Dec. 16.—The Oberon, Truscott, which arrived here 2d December from Guadalcahar, .spoke the Woodlark, of this port, which reported the wreck of a vessel on Bampten Shoals ; she had nearly 500 Chinese passengers, all of whom were drowned, with a portion 6f the crew, master and eight men only being saved ; these made for Cape Dennis in a boat, and on landing were attacked by the natives and five of them killed. PORTABLE CAMP CIIAIR.—The' following letter was received by Mr. Colvill, of 62, Queen•street, Glasgow, from Lord Raglan, acknowledging receipt of one of these ingenious and useful articles :—" Before Sebastopol, March 2, 1855.—Sir, I received, two days ago, your letter of the 11th December, with the patent portable camp chair, which you sent with it, and I beg to tender to you my best acknowledgments for so acceptable a present. The chair is not only a moat comfortable one, but affords proof of great ingenuity, and I hope it will be held in as high estimation by the public as it is by me. —I remain your very faithful Bent, RaciLAY." MINIOMMOmm LATEST NEWS.

The representatives of Prussia, Wurtemberg, Baden, the two Hesses, Holstein Laueuburg, Nassau, Mecklenburg and Oldenburg, Anhault Coethen, Schwarzburg, Rudolstadt, Reuss (younger branch), Liechtenstein, Bremen, and Frankfort, have reported to the Diet that their contingents are on the war footing. SIEGE OP SEBASTOPOL. ( From the Second Edition, of the Times of this day. ) WENNESDAY, MARCH 7. About 100 sick were sent down to Balaklava to day. The medical service has sustained a great loss in the death of Dr. Chilley Pine, for many years in the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, and lately acting as Principal Medical Officer of the 2d Division. His death took place last night at the residence of Dr. Anderson, in Balaklava, and was mainly owing to disease contracted on service in the East Indies, aided by low fever. Dr. Fenwick, a much loved officer of the 14th Regiment, also died of fever, to the great regret of all the officers and men. There is nothing to report concerning the siege. THURSDAY, March 8. Dr. Pine's remains were this day interred at Balaklava. The whole of the 4th Dragoon Guards, officers and men, headed by Colonel Hodge, followed his body to the grave, and a number of officers paid his memory the same sad token of respect and esteem. He was a most independent, able, and active officer, and his loss will be severely felt. Having nothing else to do to-day I rode over to Kamiesh, in company with some officers of the cavalry, in order to see what the French were doing. The day was worthy of our most genial summer, and our "leafy month of June" would have been delighted to have numbered it among her children. Between Karanyi, from which we started, and Kamiesh there is a wide expanse of undulating stony brown steppe, intersected by deep ravines or by valleys rejoicing in watercourses and patches of green grass. All these watercourses wore lined by red breechesbelonging to unencumbered Frenchmen, intent on washing themselves or their clothes. Why on earth do they keep their camp so dirty ? " Bono Inglis," however, is the cry of theso active little washermen, as one passes, and one must not be inquisitive and critical. By and by a great herd of hungry little cows comes in sight with red-breeched drovers poking them on with an unpleasant vis a tergo from a bayonet point. They have just been landed, and as one passes on we see the ground dotted by the dead bodies, or the expiring corpses of the beasts which cannot keep up with the march. Red-breeched butchers are running about among them anxiously looking out for the smallest pretence for saying they killed oue of the beasts, and thus so far rendering its remains eatable. Plenty of carcases were lying skinned near a stone enclosure, which served as the head quarters of the butchers, and were very nasty to look at and to smell, and jud g ing from the ap pearance of the cattle, they must have been equally disagreeable to another sense. Then we crossed flocks of sheep, which would have excited the in dignation of the poorest tap in Scotland—and at last got into Kamiesh. It is a mere meagre beach of mud, but the sun has baked the mud hard, and the French hare erected on it streets of wooden houses, all numbered the odd num bers on one side, the even on the other—after the home fashion. Even the tents and sutlers' stalls are numbered, and one reads on the street corners the words "Rue Napoleon," " Rue de Lourmel," " Rue Bosquet," &c., and sees all kinds of bureaux of all sorts of authorities. There is a good deal of drunkenness among the soldiery. Just as we enter, law and _order, i n th e person o f a gen darme' is down on the ground, under a military despot in the shape of Private Francois Something or other, of the —th of the Line, who, greatly to the approbation of his brother soldiers, and to the edifica tion of two mounted officers, who look onand smoke, is trying to garrote the representative of antiquated civilisation. But law and order, who has his sword drawn, is triumphant owing to a charge of gendsarmie, who carry off military despotism to the guard-house. Then comes another row :—a gentleman, armed with a bottle, is intent on break ing his friend's head with it for some reason un known, and the crowd around are very much in terested in the thing, which would have doubtless come off only for those horrid gensdarmerie again. "'Pon my word," said au Irish officer of the party " do you know how this put me quite in mind of old times in Donnybrook Fair !" he sighed despond ingly. Everything is to be had at Kamiesh, from a but all is regulated—e m I C .e li g t ic h . ea N d Te to w a er w e swatch-gryla:san, and went to our restaurant. To our horror we were told we could get nothing to s eat without an order from th e gensdarmerie. This seemed very absurd, and l oo k e d still more ridiculous whene e n t t h e e d of that a s t t respectable ate wii iob p proved us in n he did not require any l eave to i ndulge in copious drinking. Alsatian Fre nc h not b eing generally prs representativ ea el f before n in telligible when spoken thickly and with hiccups, we retired to a trader's shop, who, in consideration of his daring to break the police laws and of our being English, charged us about 100 per cent. on some cheese and claret ; then we got a loaf at the baker's, and, seating ourselves on the wall outside the cavalry picket-house, made an excel lent meal in defiance of the authorities. We sub sequently ascertained that it is a police regulation (and it seemed very much needed) that nothing shall be sold to eat or drink after half-past 3 o'clock in the day, and we had arrived just after that hour. The harbour is greatly crowded, but the ships are regularly moored. On the whole, however, except in the internal arsangement a n d p o li ce o f the place, it did not seem better managed than Balaklava. A tariff is fixed up in the shops for all necessaries— luxuries are matters of bargain. The French and English fleets, with blended ensigns, lie in the twe bays peacefully together. The bustle, gaiety, and commerce of the place would make it difficult for one to realise the fact that a siege was going on close at hand, only that all the merchants wore swords, bayonets, and red breeches, and that the echoes of the guns boomed over the hills from the French trenches frequently within each hour. The water of the harbour is dirty, and the wells are brackish. of.th.e.l4th FRIDAY i , MARCH 9. There was a b r i s k firing last night. Nothing of consequence occurre d t h at I can ascer t a i n .

(From a Second Edition of the Morning _Herald.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, ARCH 10. The great topic of conversation now is, of course, the death the 7th the n ews arr i ve d a t h ea d-quarters by elec ef the E m peror Nicholas. It was on tric telegraph d espatch, f rom L o rd John Russell t o Lord Raglan, dated from Vienna Empe ror breathed hi s l ast on th e 2d that the of this month. Lord Raglan sent in a flag of truce by Lord Burghersh with the information, to which the Russians refused to give credit. Nothing fresh of any consequence has happened since the last mail left. The firing has been very slack on both sides. On Tuesday morning we opened a battery with red-hot shot on a steamer, and drove her from a position most annoying to some of our works. It was expected that the Russians would have attacked the battery in force, as their steam er wa s in 'a capital position to annoy us. However, they were satisfied with re moving the ship from her position. The health and spirits of both men and officers aro daily im proving. The weather is delightful ; occasionally a I cold clamp day is expen.aced, hut with thisieuep, tion it is beautiful spring weather. The men are also re-assuming their military appearance. The sheep-skin coats have been cast off, and in some regiments new clothing has been issued. The Guards look remarkably well, as well as if on guard ,at Buckingham Palace. Scurvy i s di m i n i s hi ng rapidly. Most regithenta haVe potatoes or some other description of vegetables issued twice a week. We hear now of races and appointments for dog hunts. The railway is making rapid strides, and i s already of gre a t use i n carr yi ng provisions and am munition part of the way to the front. The navvies, taking all things into consideration ) behave re markably well. it is quite a treat to look at their magnificent dray horses; the contrast to the miser able cattle we have been used to during the past four months is very great. The convalescent hos pital on the hill facing the sea has now 70 patients in it, and more huts are being erected. The general hospital continues crowded. Dr. Pine, the Principal Medical Officer of the 2d Division, was buried yesterday. He was followed to the grave by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 4th Dragoon Guards, in which re giment he served for seven years. Fenwick, the assistant-surgeon of the 14th, who died a few clays a g o, was buried on Sunday ; h e was muc h l amented by every one in the regiment. The low fever which has been so prevalent lately has been very fatal. Several medical officers have fallen victims to it. Huts aro being erected now, both at Balaklava and at the front, which hitherto very distant region seems lately to have diminished its distance by some miles. The Light Division has now ten regiments, and they are all very effective regiments ; only one I believe has less than 500 men. The Naval Brigade, as usual, is in a very healthy and effective condition. 'lack shows that he has not lived entirely on requisitions all the winter, but that he has added something more sub stantial. The Tonning arrived yesterday with Cattle. It is giving them brevet rank to call them cattle. The harbour is still very crowded, but greatly improved. Wharves are being erected for the land ing of stores ; the dirty lazar houses recently occu pied by the Turks have all been removed. The few Turks remaining have been removed to some hos pital huts at some distance from the town. These huts are kept very clean, and great care se e m s t o b e taken of the patients. The fortifications on the heights are being greatly improved and strengthened. Seve ral 32-pound howitzers have been substituted for the 32-pound howitzers originally placed there. Twelve deserters came over on Wednesday. lam not aware that they gave any important informa tion. The Highflyer sails today for Odessa. There IS no news from the fleet. MARCH 11. There was heavy firing all night, and innumer able rockets were sent into the town by our active allies. It was a most beautiful sight to witness the flight of these missiles, some of which, not withstanding the calmness of the night, were very erratic in their course. A heavy fire has been kept up this afternoon from the Redan, apparently on one of the new redoubts we and the French have lately erected in front of the Second Division. The fire on the steamer from our battery on Tuesday morning last was anything but efficient. Red-shot was used, and lam credibly informed that out of 60 rounds fired only seven struck her. Another account says that two only hit her ; at all events all parties say that the practice was bad in the extreme. THE TURKISH EXI EDITION IN THE ORIMEA. (Front a Second Edition of the Times of this day.) EUPATORIA, IVIA..acH 3. The last few days have passed entirely without incidents, if one does not reckon the daily military promenades among the number of them. Up to the time of the last attack it was the Russians who seemed to be bent on this harmless amusement ; since then the Turks appear to have acquired this taste from their enemies. They are as regular as clockwork—one in the morning and another in the evening, and always at the same hour. I have lately seen three of them, and the impression which they made upon me was as if the Turks were trying to invent a pattern of a military re connaissance, or rather as if they had already in vented it, and were so convinced of its excellence that they knew nothing better but to repeat it over and over again, like the Indians their shawl pattern. They begin by going out always at the same door, make a plant, march to the first mound where the Russian videttes are ; these latter, when they see them approaching, mount leisurely and retire quietly behind the mound towards their reserves, which having perceived already half an hour before, the Turks come up and form while the videttes are retiring. The Turkish cavalry rides up in a gallop to the mound, both parties look at each other, and thoir evolutions begin in the style of the fight between Viola and Sir Andrew Ague cheek. When one party advances the other retires, and vice versa. The Russians deploy in lines, form in pelatons, throw out skirmishers, while the Turks and Tartars make flank movements and all kinds of unintelligible evolutions. All this goes on at the respectful distance of from 300 to an incal culable number pf yards, which does not impede both parties. from discharging their carbines and pistols. The two commanders salute each •other, and then the Turks go toward the second mound, where the whole thing begins Qver again. The other day, during one of these evolutions, a characteristic in cident occurred. A Polish officer who had served in the Russian army, and who well knows the Russian soldier, rode in front of the Turkish cavalry, and, in true Homeric style, challenged the Russian cavalry to come on. The answer was a torrent of abuse from one of the skirmishers in advance of the Russian lino. The officer, adopt ing the Russian style of command, replied by an energetic exclamation, saying, "You —, is that the way you dare to speak to an officer," on which the Russian soldier, in the most humble manner, answered, "Beg your pardon, Sir, I did not know you were en officer.' This scene, so characteristic of Russian discipline, reminds me of similar ones which occurred during the Polish re volution of 1831. Thus several times when the Russians we re charging the Polish cavalry, the commanders of the latter had the presence of mind to exclaim the Russian words of command, "Stoy, nalvoraget, march" (halt, right about, march), which were mechanically obeyed by the Russian cavalry. The activity on the landing-piers is greater than ever, through the arrival of seven steamers and nine sailing vessels, charged mostly with cava l r y and artillery. Now that the vessels and the Turkish authorities—thanks to Mascher Pasha's (Sir G. Lakeman) exertions—have got into the way of it, the embarkation of the cavalry at Seropolis is pro ceeding rapidly. Thus the Thames went from here to Burgas, was loaded with horses, and returned again to this place in four days and a half. A stage is constructed at Seropolis, from which the horses can be walked into the barges, while the steamers themselves are only at one cable's 'length from the stage. The Thames remained only six hours, and took in 190 horses. Colonel Le Dieu, the French Commissioner, has been recalled by his Government. We do not yet know who is to be his successor. MARCH 5. To-day it was decided that a reconnaissance on a little larger scale should be undertaken. Accord ingly three squadrons of regular cavalry, two of them of the 2d Regiment of Roumeli, called Hadji Alay, because it was made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and the third a squadron of Redifs of the 2d Regi ment of Guards, about 30 Bashi-Bazouks, and 150 mounted Tartars, went out under the command of Iskender Bey. The Russian videttes occupy a number of mounds running nearly parallel with those occupied by the Turkish videttes. The first to our left is close to the bridge which leads over a creek running inland from the putrid lake Sasik, while about the centre of the whole line are two other mounds not far from each other, one of which has the appearance as if it had been opened. These three mounds are the scone of the daily excursions. Beyond them the Russian line of videttes falls back towards the little lake to the north of the town, on whose shore the white ruins of the Tartar village Meskow may be distinctly seen. For the support of the Russian vi dettes there was a squadron of Lancers hid in a hollow near the bridge to the right, two sotnias of Cossacks towards the centre on which the videttes retired when they saw the Turks coming, and be sides this a squadron of Hussare on white horses appeared sometimes towards the left. Froua the daily excursions of the Turkish Cavalry these forces as well as their respective positions, were tolerably known. On this Iskender Bey, who had always led these military promenades, built his plan. He sent the two squadrons of the 2d regiment to the right in order to keep in check the squadron of Lancers, while he himself, with the remaining sjuadron of Rediffs, the Bashi-Bazouks, and the Tartars, ad vance d t owar d s the two mounds in the centre. The Russian videttes retired as usual OR the grand guard, but before their reserves could come up, Iskender Boy gave the order to charge, and Tartars, Bashi-Bazouks, and Rediffs went off pell-mell to catch the Cossacks, who, keeping their skirmisher line, made a precipitate retreat towards their reserves, which were advancing at full speed. Both parties kept up a brisk fire, and the Turks were already in the midst of the retiring grand guard Nvlieu the Russian reserves canae up, Iskender Bey seeing this commanded a charge against them, and he himself at the h ea d c h arged with h i s acct timed courage ; but he was only followed by the Bashi- Bamouks the Tartars, with few exceptions, re mained statiouary, while the Rediffs, after having followed for a while, and lest a f ew men t h rough the fire of the etternyi turnedi back and ran. Now the Cossacks charged and drove back Rediffs, Tartars, and all. Iskender Bey, who was only followed by two Bashi-Bazouks, had to cut his way back through the enemy, which be effected, but not without re ceiving a sabre cut oYer the forehead, which pene trated the skull, a lance thrust which glanced of from his breast, and a cdt O'er the hand which broke two of his fingers. Four Bashi-Vazouks, six Rediffs, and one Tartar are lost. About 2300 yards from the mound s w h ere th e charge took place the Turkish Cavalry at last stood , and formed. Iskender Bay, notwithstanding his wounds, which were copiously bleeding, wanted to remain and return to the charge, aad when he was with great difficulty persuaded to go back to the town, Sefer Pasha (General Koscelsrky), a Polish officer took the temporary command. As yet there was time to repair the loss, as one of the squadrons which it had sent out to the right was quite close. while the other would have checked the squadron of Russian Lancers by making a movement forward and threatening their flank. Thus reinforced the Turks would have succeeded to retake their fallen comrades and perhaps even some of the dismounted and wounded Cossacks, without having had any thing to fear from the lancers to the right. Their imaginations were over excited, they saw in every stone a legion of Russians, so after much riding to and fro the command was given to retreat en echelon, which was also executed without any molestation from the part of the enemy. When I saw Radiffs, Bashi-Bazouks, and Tartars running before the Cossacks, I could not help re membering the saying of Napoleon, that the only thing which distinguishes the man of genius from a madman is to be able to distinguish between difficulties and impossiblities. There were the poor Tartars with their formida ble infantry muskets and with sabres which they never had perhaps in their hands before ; there was a handful of daring Bashi-Bazouks, inimitable in skirmishing, but by nature I think incapable of forming a regular line of battle ; and there were lastly the Redifs, good old papas, who perhaps for the last 10 years never sat on horseback. How could it be expected they should charge a well mounted, well-armed, and well-disciplined enemy, scarcely inferior in force. It would have been a wonder on the contrary if they had not run. Yet both the Bashi-Bazouks and Tartars, if pro perly employed, could be of great service to the regular cavalry as skirmishers and elcaireurs, but it seems to me a considerable mistake that of all other troops cavalry Rediffs should have been brought over to the Crimea, while so many good effective cavalry regiments remained behind. They ase useless as regular and as irregular cavalry, being neither able to act independently nor to act as a body. MARCH 6. This morning Colonel Symmons went down to Kamieseh. Eupatoria begins inside as well as outside to assume the character of a fortress. After nightfall patrols are traversing the streets in every direc tion, and no one is allowed to pass without the parole. At the same time stricter regulations have been introduced about going out of the town. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople of the Bth says : " The news of the death of the Emperor Nicholas first reached this city in. the night of the 7th. The Porte received the intelligence by a Turkish Major, who heard it 'at Rustchuk, to which place it had come from Bucharest and Vienna; he brought it in two days to Constantinople, and for such ex traordinary rapidity received the decoration of the Nichan, and was advanced to a higher rank in the army. From the Crimea we learn that the works of the allies were going on rapidly, but that the Russians were equally active in constructing addi tional defences. The English railway was com pletely terminated, and it is said that the French are negotiating with the contractors for continuing it as far as Kamiesh, which would imply an idea of a longer occupation of the country than has been hitherto imagined. The French army is all on the qui vive, locking out for the arrival of the Emperor, the report of which event was received by all ranks with the greatest enthusiasm. RUSSIA. NESSELRODE'S MANIFESTO. We have received, from Vienna, Count Nessel rode's note to the Ministers of Russia at foreign courts. It professes to be a manifesto to Europe of the intentions entertained by the new Emperor, and is the first official paper which has appeared on the subject. The following is a translation : " ST. PETERSBURG, MARCH 10. "My despatch, of the 2d inst., will have informed you of the accession of his Majesty the Emperor Alex ander 11. I also, at the same time, had the honour of sending you the manifesto of our illustrious Sovereign, issued on the first day of his reign. "This document expresses his Majesty's profound sense of the importance of the duties which he is called to fulfil. Those duties have been imposed on him by Divine Providence in the midst of severe trials. As cending the throne of his ancestors be beholds Russia involved in a war, the like of which occurring in a new reign history cannot . produce. " Our illustrious Sovereign accepts these trials, trust ing in God, confiding securely in the unwavering de votedness of his people, and filled with religious reverence for the memory of his much-loved father. " In a child-like spirit of piety he accepts as his heri tage two obligations, which, in his eyes, are equally sacred. The first demands from his Majesty the employ ment of all the power which the will of God has placed in his hands for the defence of the integrity and honour of Russia. The second imposes on his Majesty of steadily devoting his care to the completion of that work of peace, the bases of which were sanctioned by the Em peror Nicholas. " Faithful to the ideas which predominated in the last dispositions and arrangements of his illustrious father, the Emperor has renewed and confirmed the instructions with which the Plenipotentiary of Russia bad been pro vided from December until the time when the Vienna Conferences were to have been opened. In this way the intentions of the Emperor Nicholas are certain to be fulfilled. Their aim was— "To restore to Russia and Europe the blessings of peace. "To confirm the freedom of worship and the welfare of the Christian peoples of the East, without distinction of rite. " To place the immunities of the Principalities under a collective guarantee. " To secure the free navigation of the Danube in fa vour of the trade of all nations. "To put an end to the rivalries of the Great Powers respecting the East in such manner as to preclude the return of new complications. " Finally, to come to an understanding, with the Great Powers respecting the revision of the treaties by which they have recognised the principle of closing the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and in this way to ar rive at an honourable settlement. "A peace concluded upon such a basis as this, since it would terminate the calamities of war, would call forth the blessings of all nations upon the new Govern ment. Russia, however, feels deeply, and all Europe must acknowledge the fact that the hope of a restoration of peace would prove vain, if the conditions of an ad justment should overpass that just limit which a sense of the dignity of the Crown led our august Lord to fix ir revocably. "The Emperor will wait tranquilly until the cabinets called to deliberate in common with Russia on this ques tion of universel interest for all Christendom shall de clare the views by which their policy will be guided. " Our august Lord will enter upon these important deliberations in a sincere spirit of concord ; this is the declaration which I am expressly commissioned by his Majesty to make to you in his name. "Toe general instructions with which you are pro vided prescribe to you the course which you are to continue to follow in your intercourse with the govern ments to which you are accredited. The Emperor, in confirming you in the post to which you were appointed by the grace of his illustrious father, reli es i mp li c itl y on your fidelity a n d zea l. It is his desire that on all occa sions your conduct and language should bear witness to the loyalty with which .Russia regards obligati ons in volving fidelity to treaties ; to its constant d es i re t o li ve on good terms with all allied and friendly Powers ; and, finally, to its reverence for the invi o l a b i li ty of the rights of every state, as well as its firm resolve to maintain in tact and make respected those rights which Divine Pro vidence has entrusted to the Emperor in making him the protector of the honour of the nation. "You are instructed to bring this to the knowledge of the Court at which you h a d the honour to represent the Emperor Nicholas of glorious and much-loved memory. " NESSELRODB." • FRAN CE. PARIS, FRIDAY NIGHT. The news from Vienna appears to be favourable to peace, and at P ar i s peop!e are disposed to believe iat the Conference will be attended with a happy result. The Moniteur contains the following despatch from the French Charge d'Affaires : " CONSTATINOPLE, MARCH 12. "On the 10th the weather was fine at Sebastopol, and the new works were nearly completed. "Fire broke out last night in the buildings of the Ottoman military school, which, by permission of the Porte, we had converted into an hospital.
