(From the Times of this day. ) The report of the Committee on the army beforo Sebastopol consists, as all such documents must, of two parts—the facts established by the evidence, and the result traceable fr , ,m them. Upon the facts there exists, we apprehend, very little difference of opinion. All those statements that were so fiercely controverted when they first appeared in our columns are now the axioms and data from which all parties alike are content to reason. But, starting from this common point of departure, different minds have arrived at strikingly different conclusions. Mr. Roebuck does not scruple to strike at in dividuals, however high in office or in station ; the Adminis tration, the Commander-in-Chief, tke Staff, the Medical De partment, the Commissariat, all come successively under his lash. General Peel attributes our miseries and disasters mainly to faults of system, for which, of course, no one is to blame, while Lord Seymour, with a truer insight and a more judicious discrimination, steers amiddle course between the two, and endeavours to distribute the blame in just propor tions between the misconduct of individuals and the absurdi ties of the system. Of Mr. Drummond's essay we say nothing for until it be done, into English, or at least reduced in some degree within the rules of universal grammar, it would be ex tremely difficult to say whether it has or has not any mean ing at all. Let any one read any of Mr. Drummond's speeches, as reported in our columns, and compare it with the draught report he has produced, and he will then be probably aware of the debt which that unthankful gentleman owes to the press, which makes him every night speak that English lan guage correctly which he seems so utterly incapable of writing. The Committee seem to have done wisely in adopting Lord Seymour's draught. It was conceived on the best and most comprehensive plan, and executed with that ability which its author has so often evinced in so many delicate and difficult investigations. Yet, after all, the report is far more successful in stating effects than in tracing out causes—in pointinc , out errors than in duly allot ting the responsibility for them. This incompleteness the Committee themselves admit, and allege in excuse of it two reasons—first, that many of the individuals most reflected on were not present to defend themselves ; and, secondly, that considerations of State policy prohibited the following up the i ivestigation to its legitimate results. These objections, how ever, did not prevent the Committee from delivering a very strong opinion as to the responsibility of the Administration for the misfortunes of the expedition, and do not, it appears to us, justify the rejection of another paragraph moved by Mr. Roebuck with worse success, conveying an equally de cided opinion that not only the Administration, but the com mander of the expedition, was liable to severe censure. Mr. Roebuck moved an amendment censuring Lord Raglan as in a great degree immediately responsible for the sufferings of the army : " Had the requisite firmness and prudence been shown by him, much of the misery resulting from the want of land transport, from the want of a road from Balaklava to the camp, from the want of an efficient ambulance, from ineffi cient and improper food, from the want of shelter, clothing, and fuel, might have been prevented. It is but too plain that Lord Raglan dill not keep the Administration duly informed of the actual condition of the army under his command. There seems to have been no head to conceive what was neces sary for the army, and no hand to execute the thing needed, even if it had been foreseen." These propositions were put to the Committee, and nega tived by a majority of 9to 1, Mr. Layard's being the only vote that was given in their favour. We presume this must have been done either because these things were considered not to be true, or else on the grounds of State policy or of fairness to Lord Raglan, who was not there to make his defence. We can see no validity in any of these excuses. We have forborne from expressing any opinion while the inquiry was pending, but now that it has terminated without any decision there is no reason why we should be any longer silent. Lord Rag lan is no more exempted from censure by his absence than Dr. Hall, who has received a most just rebuke from the com mittee for sending in a false report of the state of the hospi tals at Scutari, while Lord Raglan, who kept the Ministry ignorant of tile true state of the army, and so retarded the means of remedying its wants and relieving its miseries, passes without observation. Every impartial person must feel in reading the report that up to a certain point it is clear and logical, and follows the thread of investigation, not till it is broken off altogether, but till some insuperable obstacle seems to intervene and pro hibit the attempt to go along with it any further. The rays all converge to one centre—the atoms all gravitate to one pole of motion and of equilibrium. Bad as our departments were, bad as their system, bad as their heads, and bad as their staff, it is absolutely incredible that things should have gone on as they did had there been at the head of the expedition a man active, capable, and energetic, seeing with his own eyes, hearing with his own ears, calculating and foreseeing events, and keeping the Government thoroughly aware of his wants and the army of his solicitude and attention to its interests. What is the use of lavishing our indignation on the small fry of the public service—on Dr. Hall, or on Dr. Menzies, on Admiral Boxer, on Captain Christie, on commissariat officers, or quartermaster-generals—while we allow the really respon sible officers to escape us altogether The report of the com mittee is too much like the spider's web, which firmly en closes the small flies within its meshes while it permits the large ones to break through and escape. There is also a vio lation of historical truth in such a silence, for, by fixing on some persons, and being silent as to others, there is implied a difficulty in tracing out the truth which does not really exist, and thus a document designed, no doubt, as a basis for future history, will tend almost as much to puzzle as to enlighten the candid searcher after truth who shall consult it. Those minor personages to whom so much blame is attributed are unmeaning puppets, unless a master hand directed their motions, and combined them to one common end. The notion that an army can be worked by departments each acting within its own sphere, and recipro cally controlling and being controlled by its neighbour, is as preposterous as the idea of making a watch go without a mainspring, or the solar system act without the law of gravi tation. The ablest leader may be baffled by a confused and jarring system, or thwarted by the incapacity of his subordinates!; but these things are not to be assumed—they must be proved; and the very first step in the proof is to show that the leader had a plan, and that the heads of departments under him thwarted its execution. Now, we confess that we see no evi dence either that Lord Raglan ever bad any plan for relieving the sufferings of the army, or that there existed any insur mountable difficulty to the accomplishment of such a plan, had he entertained it. His errors seem to have been simply faults of omission—not so much that he did wrong as that he did nothing. We know of no steps that he took to provide land transport, to repair the road, to feed, to shelter, or to warm the army. These things seem to have been allowed to take care of themselves, and consequently not to have been taken care of at all. At the Alma the Russians presented themselves before him, and be fought precisely under the con. ditions and with the disadvantages they prescribed. Victory declared for him, but it was a barren victory, for the enemy disappeared from before him, and left him to his own dispo sition, which naturally shrank from taking the initiative. He appeared before Sebastopol ; Sebastopol was his ; but he had not sufficient spontaneous effort to take it. Ho waited till the enemy had constructed defences, and then attacked their defences with means utterly inadequate. This discovery de manded fresh resolutions, but he clung to hie position with the tenacity of a man not possessed of sufficient resolution to rally and rouse his energies and adapt himself to altered circumstances. The attack of the 26th of October gave full notice of the defenceless state of his right wing, but Lord Raglan could not be induced to spare men to fortify it. The battle of Inkerrnan came, and of the battle that gave him a Field-Marshal's baton Lord Raglan was a passive spectator. The soldiers won it in their own way, and 'no attempt was made to derive any advantage from the panic that must have been inspired by so fearful a blow. It is said, and we believe with some truth, that Lord Raglan first learnt the true state of his army from the pages of this journal. With such ante cedents, we feel that we have only too much ground for the conjecture that we owe to this same passive temperament, which seems destined always to follow the lead, and never to take it, the sanguinary repulse we have just experienced. A little support on the 7th of June, when the full tide of victory bore our soldiers to the Redan, might possibly have saved us the reverse of the 18th. But a single advantage was enough for a single day. and so the enemy were allowed 10 days more to prepare for that assault, which even the paucity of our numbers scarcely caused to fail on the former ocga.sioa. We have age and experience in our commander, but we pay for them a heavy price in a mechanical and spiritless system, without vigour, without originality, without energy, and therefore without success.

Why was that trial ever commenced, and why was it permitted to proceed, if, when finished and the result emphatically announced, no judgment were to follow ? It is impossible that such questions should not be put ; it would have been the most ignominious proof of imbecility on the part of the promoters, of so grave mid important a pro ceeding, if they had not been anticipated within the walls of Parliament. Mr. Roebuck has done that which it was his manifest duty to do in giving notice of the motion to which we have adverted. Its terms are c l ose l y, even lite ra lly, copied from the most important paragraph of the committee's report ; and their affirmation by the house is obviously meant to be no more than the judicial adoption of the verdict brought in by the jury whom the house itself appointed. The proposed resolution declares that " the conduct of the Ad ministration was the chief cause of the calamities which befel our army," and that the .house " hereby visits with its severe reprehension every member of the Cabinet whose councils led to such disastrous results." The House of Commons will be called upon to say Aye or No to this declaration. There may be some gentlemen without constituencies who upon the coming occasion will repeat the conduct they pursued five months - ago, when inquiry was first called for. Of course, no methods of persuasion will be left untried to swell the ranks of the defenders of ministerial impunity. Jesuitry and jobbing will be busily employed till the 3d of July to recruit the bodyguard of Government ; and we should be prophesying smooth things if we. pretended to underrate the persuasive efficacy of Treasury whisperings at a time so interesting. We shall not be surprised to see many occupants of seats for rotten boroughs and close counties set public opinion again at defiance and make one more shameless effort to whitewash their inculpated' relations and friends. But we cannot forget that more - than a moiety of the House of Commons obeyed the dictate of national opinion in voting for the appointment of ' 4 the select commit tee ; and that when Lord Pabineston, -having seated himself in Lord Aberdeen's chair, attempted to quiz this majority into tacitly rescinding their vote, he found hiniself most la mentably mistaken. How many have since sought to make atonement for that 'exhibition of virtue by absenting them selves on other questions, when their constituents expected them to be present, or by voting with Mr. Hayter when they ought to have been found elsewhere, we cannot here enume rate. The division lists on Mr. Layard's motion are full of serious cause for reflection, if not for reproach. We read in the catalogue of Ministerialists on that occasion names of men whom we deeply regret to have found in such company. Still more do we regret to be obliged to remember the scores of' men who are called Liberals that were absent altogether. These things may occur once and be forgiven, but if repeated it will be in vain to try to shirk the painful scrutiny to which desertion, so inexcusable in times like the present, must give rise. At all events, upon the affirmation or repudiation of the principle embodied in the Sebastopol Report, there can be no excuse for flinching. That principle is simply that of ministerial accountability. Without it all constitutional government is a cheat and farce. It may be exercised mildly, as in the lenient form of Parlia mentary rebuke, unattended with any mention of those severe penalties which in sturdier clays were comprehended under the dreaded name of impeachment. But the more lenient our political jurisprudence has become, tho more ne cessary it is that its decrees should be inexorably and incor ruptibly enforced. Public opinion in our time is not cruel or vindictive ; but it has become more merciful because it be lieves itself less liable to be set at defiance. It will be a dark and dreadful lesson should the people ever unhappily bo forced to feel that, over the multitudinous graves of the best and bravest of their brethren oligarchic power can venture to laugh in the insolence of impunity. .

The motion of which Mr. Roebuck gave notice yesterday will test the sincerity of the House of Commons in its profession of zeal for the vindication of the national honour in the sanguinary struggle in which we are engaged. A bravo and generous people never manifest true courage or magna nimity more conspicuously than in the hour of unavertable defeat. It is part of the moral greatness of their character to bear unforeseen reverses with fortitude, and to look upon trivial errors with leniency and forbearance. But in propor tion as they are forgiving and forgetful of casual faults in those who undertake the responsibilities of guidance in the council or the field, they are disposed to visit with severe condemnation the selfish arrogance and negligence whose con sequences in peace are costly, in war " horrible and heart rending." Without theorising on the matter, the people feel that for their own and their children's sake they cannot afford to affect indifference to such offences against the well-being of the State ; and their instinct of justice, more unerring than the fine-spun inductions of political philosophy, tells them that it is neither safe nor just to permit any set of men to trifle with the vital interests of the nation. Public senti ment has long ago been expressed in unequivocal terms re garding the fearful consequences of Ministerial misconduct during the last campaign—so unequivocal that even the pre sent House of Commons succumbed with a shudder when called upon last January to appoint a Committee of In quiry into the condition of the camp of Sebastopol. No evasions •or expostulations on the part of the accused availed to prevent the impanolling of the special jury ; and, as the result has proved, no arts of packing could avail to prevent it from doing its duty in the main, or from the " true verdict given according to tho evidence" laid before it. That verdict is now before the country ; whatever its minor deficiencies may be, it is felt to be sound and true ; and the question that inevitably suggests itself to every up right and uncorrupted mind in the community is—when shall judgment thereupon be given? The House of Commons is the tribunal to which we na turally look for that appropriate sequence and judicial action. When called upon at the commencement of the session, the house declared itself to be in sympathy with the people, but to be wholly incompetent to go into detailed investigation of the facts alleged. There was, indeed, some talk cf hearing evidence at the bar; but the idea was laid aside on the ground of inconvenience to all parties, and of unfairness to the accused. Eventually a great majority decided that a select committee of eleven`should sit upstairs, not merely to inquire but to report to the house what had occurred, and who was to blame. What did that vote imply Did it mean nothing, or next to nothing? Was it agreed to in a non-natural sense, or with suppressed equivocation, or mental reservation? Was it not avowedly resisted on the plea that even to investigate the charges laid at the door of the Cabinet implied too grave a censure to be acquiesced in ? What, if the charges have actually been proved, and if the guilt of conscious incompetency, accompanied by obstinate tenacity of office, has 'actually been brought home to the doors of those inculpated ? Can the house, having gone thus far, now recede ? Can it a bdicate its functions as judge after having solemnly assumed those functions, and deliberately authorised a trial to take BISUOP OP DURHAM'S PRIZES. Latin Prose.

The Warden and Senate have announced that they will proceed to the election of two fellows on Thursday, Novem ber 1, 1855 ; and that all candidates must signify their inten tion to the Warden on or before the Ist of October. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.—The Worcester Adminis trative Reform Association have determined to call upon the members for that city not to apply for the gift of any Government office unless tilling themselves to be responsible for the capacity and merit of the candidate they recommend. A. memorial to this effect has been prepared, which the electors will be solicited to sign, and every person who does sign it will also be pledged by it not to ask for favours of this kind at the hands o their repregentatiTes, except upon a birailar understanding. (From the Times of this day.) In our impression of Thursday last we gave a description of a new body of men which, under the denomination of an " Army Works Corps," is about to take its departure for the seat of war. The organisation of this special battalion is of a very notable character. It is to be 1,000 strong, its bulk consisting of 800 " navvies," formed in " gangs" of 25 each, to which are added as accessories smiths and carpenters, to the number of 70, and general artificers, such as shoemakers, harnessmakers, tailors, barbers, &c., to the number of 65. The colonel of this industrial regiment will be a civil engineer; majors will be represented by " superintendents ;" and clerks, foremen, gangers, &c., are to figure in the places of captains, lieutenants, and ensigns. The duties of the Army Works Corps will comprise, we are told, the construction of siege or field works, roads, bridges, huts, and so forth; besides which they will aid in the preparation of places for encampments, in sinking wells, in executing works of drainage, in repairing damages dome to materials, and generally in relieving the fighting portion of the army from the extraordinary duties arising out of an active campaign. That a corps like this, representing in a manner the excellences of civil enterprise as opposed to the traditions of military routine, should be ad mirably fitted out is n• more than we might expect, and it is stated accordingly that the tents, carts, and equipages of the battalion are all models in their way. Whether they will be practically suitable to the rough work of war remains, of course, to be seen, Some remarks which tiro recently offered on the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners will perhaps prepare the reader for the observations now subjoined on the new attempt thus made to improve the general efficiency of the army. In a few words—the problem is to make a soldier-labourer who shall not be too much of a labourer nor too much of a soldier—not so completely civil in his character as to be out of place in an army; and not so completely military as to lose the special aptitudes of an artisan. Hitherto it has been found that the civil element in these amphibious establishments, whatever might have been the propmderanco originally designed for it, has been absorbed by the irresistible encroachment of the mi litary element, and that the soldier-labourer in the last stage of his development has become something very like a pure and simple soldier. The present Sappers and Miners, for in stance, were at first almost exactly such a body as that now raised. To be sure, they had a uniform, and perhaps more care was used to make them resemble soldiers than to keep them civilians, but they were nevertheless embodied specially as workmen. They comprised in their ranks the selfsame capacities of smiths, carpenters, harnessmakers, &c., and, if there were no barbers among them, there were ac tually gardeners—a class of men included, we suppose, for the chance of raising vegetables in aid of the ordinary rations. In short, they represented the identical idea new carried out anew, nor is it easy to discern any real distinction between even the names of the two corps—between the " Soldier-Ar tificer" Company of 1772 and the " Army Works Corps " of 1855. Yet these soldier-artificers are now smart-looking fel lows in red coats and yellow worsted epaulettes, nor can they be readily distinguished from the men of the Line, except, perhaps, by a carriage even more military than usual. It seems, therefore, as if, having worn or worked out the civil character of this original corps of army workmen, we were trying the experiment afresh, and r a i s i ng a new body of men who should be really labourers, and not soldiers. The truth of the matter is simply this, that in practice it is found exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to avoid in vesting such auxiliaries with a military character, to a greater or less extent, or to stop short in such a process when it has been once commence& As a matter of necessity they must be under the control of the Commander-in-Chief, and under the provisions of the Mutiny Act. These indispensable condi tions have been already satisfied in the present instance ; so here are two points of the law. Again, though the men, as we understant the programme, are not to be armed, they are engaged to work under fire. This - presumes that they must have an escort, and that every workman, being unarmed and helpless in the presence of the enemy, must have a soldier under arms to protect him. What more natural under such circumstances than that by-and-by the artificer should receive his short sword or his carbine for the exigencies of self-defence, not to mention that occasions may arise on which it may be absolutely indispensable that every able-bodied man under the • General's command should take up arms ? Yet if a man is to carry arms he must be taught their use, —that is to say, he must be drilled ; if he is to have a carbine, he must have a cartridge-box ;if a cartridge-box, a belt ; and so on through all the articles of military equipment. But after he has been thus equipped, trained, drilled, and placed under military law, what in the world is he except a soldier ? The conclusion naturally arising out of these remarks would seem to be, that as the Royal Sappers and Miners already re present such a body of men as that which an " Army Works Corps" would eventually become, our purpose might have been answered by adding 1000 rank and file to that very dis tinguished regiment. On the whole, however, we are, for several reasons, of opinion that the right course has been taken in the formation of the new corps. To begin with, it is hardly probable that the requisite augmentation could have been made with the promptitude desired, if the offers held out had been simply those of the ordinary recruiting sergeant, whereas by the plan now referred to the whole battalion seems to have been levied without difficulty. The enormous railway works of this country have called into being thou sands upon thousands of " navvies," ready for any job in the way of their calling, and in no degree likely to flinch from any personal danger. Tell these men that good work in their own fashion is offered them in the Crimea, and they will take it, with perhaps a spice of satisfaction rather than otherwise at the peculiar nature of the service, while a regular recruit ing sergeant, with his sword and sash, might bid for them in vain, notwithstanding all his assurances about the truly "scientific" character of his corps. Moreover, the chief works to be executed aro now of such a kind as even Sap yers and Miners have never been effectually taught to perform ; whereas these are the very matters in which " navvies " are supremely skilled. Our experience be fore Sebastopol has shown the great importance of earth works in the science of fortification, and earthworks are the identical works with which "navvies" have all their lives been concerned. In duties of this description they labour with extraordinary energy and effect, and we remember once to have seen a species of estimate which represented the <, navv y" in this respect to be as much above the 'Sapper and Miner as the Sapper and Miner was above the ordinary sol dier. To take a practical illustration, we doubt if Sappers and Miners, in whatever strength they might have mustered, could have made the Balaklava Railway as it was made by Sir Samuel Peto's corps. These, then, will b e the duties of the new battalion ; and, though we doubt n o t that the ope ration of circumstances, aided pper h apsbiyea for at any rate a jea lousies, will gradually tend to impart m o re eaanpdaemitoyrperoefvae military character to the corps, yet under the p resent arrange mo f considerable egnot good theysery servi c e i c el time,lt o b oo u a nd r vllw gallantthoroughgoing a ne dt i nd o mitable r " trust, army.t in A.

The official report of this committee was published on Thursday. The report itself appeared in our Parliamentary report of Tuesday, to which we refer the reader. From the minutes of the committee, it appears that a series of draft resolutions was proposed by the chairman on the 6th of June, and two draft reports by Lord Seymour and Mr. Drummond. Draft resolutions were also proposed by General Peel. The motion to read the draft resolutions of the chairman was ne gatived without a division, and the report of Lord Seymour was carried also without a division, against those proposed by General Peel and Mr. Drummond. It was afterwards read, paragraph by paragraph, and amendments were made in it. At length a division took place last Monday, when a motion from the chair, to the effect that those whom the evidence pointed out as responsible for the calamities in the Crimea ought to be named to the house was negatived by nine to one, Mr. Layard alone voting in the affirmative. A second motion (chairman), imputing to the misconduct of the Admi. uistration the primary cause of the calamities whicit befell our army, was carried by the casting vote of the chairman, the affirmative votes being those of Messrs. Layard, Drum mond, Sir J. Pakington, Sir J. Hanmer, and Captain Glad stone ; and the negatives those of Mr. Bramston, General Peel,- Colonel Lindsay, Mr. Ellice, and Lord Seymour. A vote of censure on Lord Raglan (chairman) was negatived by nine to one, Mr. Layard voting in the minority. The ex penses of the witnesses examined amounted to 1261. 9s. 6d. SIR CHARLES NAPIER.—We deeply regret to hear a report to the effect that Admiral Sir Charles Napier has lost most of his fortune by the failure of Messrs. Raiford and Co. (Sir J. Paul, Strahan, and Co.) Herct/d. At the meeting of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, held yesterday, Mr. D. Dunbar presiding, a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year ending the 31st of December was declared, and the report and accounts were unanimously adopted. It was stated that the business of the establishment is steadily increasing, but that the directors have refrained from distributing a large amount of profits, preferring for the present to carry over a balance of 9,3611. to meet contingencies. So far as they are at present advised, the amount of ascertained loss from bad debts, &c., through the late revulsion, is little more than nominal ; but, as several large accounts remain open, it is considered desirable to make provision for any emergency. In answer to ques tions it was explained that great caution has been exer cised in all operations, and that no advances had been made on shipments to the colonies, [ADVERTISEMENT.}—medicine always aggravates chronic dis eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Dußarry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures th em in a very short time.
