S r,- The superior adv,,ntages of screw propulsion being fully de monstrated by its general ado; tiers for the public service and for the commerei .1 operations of almost all maritime nations, a favourable time appeirs to have arrived for inducing a pubiic recognition of the merit if its introduction. Con•;need that screw navigation—whoever may be regarded as its o , i_•ina: inventor—must date its real commebcement from the successful trials an voya, es of the" Archimedes" in 1839 and 1840 ; and feeling that all naval nations are indebted to the performances of that ship, for the first practical development of this great impaive ment is the means of maritime enterprise ; the following gentlemen, personally cognisant of the facts connected with the progress of the system, are strongly impt essed w.th the justice of the claim') of Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, to %those talents and untiring energy it is well known the " Archimedes" owed both h r origin and success. They can also bear record tc the steady perseve ante with which that gentleman has continued to devote the bast years of h , s life to the purpose of e-tablishing the merits of the screw. And they know that the national bellefit thus comerred by his labours—which was nrst so clearly confirmed by the performances of the Rattler in 1845, then so strikingly iilustrat , d at the naval review of 1853, and which is now so confidently relied on for success in actmil war—has not hitherto procured fcr him either public acknowledgment or pet nary reward. _ . _ _ _ 'I hey have therefore formed themsc Ives into a Provisional Commit. tee, and have requested us most respectfully to solicit the honour of your nsine, and the advantage of your influence and example, in sup port of an appeal to all clas. a and interest , fora genera subscription to present a suitable testimonial to Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, for his prominent services in bringing into practice the system of screw navigation.—We have th, honour to be your obedt. servants, EDWARD PELLE W HALSTED,/ Hon.

Extract from the Report of Baron CHARLES Durex to the Academy of Science', Pane, on the prizes awarded by the French Govern ment to M. DUPUT DE Loam, and M. Mom, Otliciers superieurs du Genie Maritime, et Ingeitieurs de la Marine delere • 'lasse, and M. BOURGOIS, Captaine de Fregate, for the successful application of steam and screw propulsion to sal ing vessels of war:— " En 1835, un fennier de Middlesex, M. Francis Pettit Smith, en cadre h••r zontalement une vis d'Archimede a l'arriere et dans la partie la plus pincee de la carene ; cette vis est continue ; elle adeux revolutions completes. L'auteur prend son brevet le al Mai, 1836." " Revenons au fermier Smith. Aussi peu savant dans le principe que le battier A rkwri ht, ii avast la meme perseverance et le roemeinciomptable courage Ces deux qualites morales l'ont fait triom phe rde t ^tie acles. M. Smith, pendant deux annees, essaye son bateau sur la Tamise et sur le canal de Paddington. Dans ce canal, par an accident i•eureux, une rev tut on de sa vis d'Architrede est brisee, et le navire mitrehe plus vite qu'aueatavant. C'est un trait de lumiere, et l'on flnira tar n'employer qu'une mottle, qu'un tiers, et meme une moindre partie de rev.lution d'helice. Par ce moyen, l'on pourra loger le propulseur dans une etrotte onverture verticale, en avant du gouvernail, entre deux etambots. " Wessels en essals, M. Smith se hasarde a lutter contre les diffl cultes de la mer. Avec un n ivire exremement petit, it s'aventure dans la Manche, et brave un mer toujours ci dure, en essuyant des temps mauvais ; son courage inspire une taveur univ rselle. " L'Amiraute d'Angleterre prend un vif interet a des easels tentes si courageusement, et courounes par le succes. Elle demands a M. smith un essai plus conside , able, et la construction d'un navire a Mice de 200 tonneaux, avant de conduce a l'adopi ion du nouveau systeme. En consequence, l'Archimede, de 237 tonneaux, est con struit et mis ala mer. L'Amiraute so serait montree satisfalte, at daze; les experiences demandees, le batiment eut parcouru 5 nceuds par heure ; it en parcourut prey du doub.e. MAgre le vent et la mares, it no mit que vingt heures pour eller de Gravesend a Ports mouth. "Convaincue par ces epreuves, I'Amiraute d'Angleterre accepte l'helice pour ses propres n ivires. En 141, elle fait commencer a .4 hewiless eon premier batiment a propulseur helicoide, le Rattler du port de 888 tonneaux, batim nt qu'on mit a la me , au printemps, de 1843. Ott multipliet les experiences sur ce navire, et l'Amiraute, completement edifice, ordonna de construire a la fois, vingt bati ments de I'Etat, a propul.curs helicoides." Letter from the Richt H.sn. the Earl of Minto, G.C.8., &c. (First Lord of the Admiralty, 1835 to 1841.) " Lond , n, June 13, 1854. "Dear have not a doubt' that Mr. Smith may justly claim the nvrit of having been the first to introduce the use of the screw propeller ; and 7t was owing to his success in its application that shortly before I left the Admiralty I felt myself justified in ordering the Rattler to be built, for the purpo:e of testing the comparative advantages of the paddle and the screw—Believe me, dear sir, yours aithfully, (Signed) " MINTO. "Charles A. Cal !well, Esq. " I can have r.o objectio• whatever to your making any use of my letter that can b servic , able to Mr. Smith." Letter from the Right Hon. the Earl of Baddington, &c., (First Lo d of the Admiralty, 1841 to 1846). yninghame, Pre-tonkirk, N.B , August 24, 1854. "Fir,—Tt is imro , sible for me to tit'ie upon myself to ofTer an ocdnion as to which of the claimants is to be attributed the merit of the fir , t invention of the screw propeller; but I believe that t. , e svic..ess of " the Archimi des," followed by the trial c f "the Rattler," Mit under Lord atirto's Board), led to the adoption of the screw in H M.'s Navy, and in the merchant service. " It is admitted, I believe, that to Mr. Pettit Smith belongs the credi of the s iccess of " the 4% rchimedes," conseque itly he is en tith d to be consi !ered as the introducer of a most valuable Improve ment in E.tearn navigation. "lie wiv employed generally under the Steam Department of the Admiralty in my time, and I have every reason t., believe that his services were found to be valuable. But the profes,ional names attached to the attestation you have furni.bet me with, as well es those of the most eminent engitvers, are of I.lr greater va'ue to Mr. Smith, than any testimony of min. can possibly be.—l have the honour to ha. ,ir, your obedient ADDINGTOhu. m ble servant, (Signed) " "Captain Halsted, R.N.

To Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., Commanding-in-Chief. Before Sebastopol, April 17- My Lord,—The fire of both the French and English armies has been continued upon Sebastopol since I ad dressed your lordship on the 14th instant, and though superior to that of the enemy, it has not produced that permanent effect which might have been anticipated Prom its constancy, power, and accuracy. The guns of the Russians have been turned upon some of our advanced works in vast numbers, and in one par ticular instance the injury sustained by a battery was so treat that the unremitting exertions of Captains Henry and Walcot, and the gallantry and determination of the artillerymen under their orders alone enabled them to keep up their fire and to maintain themselves in it. In another battery yesterday a shell burst close to the magazine, which in consequence exploded, killing. I am much concerned to say, one man, wounding two most severely, and seven in a less degree. Both the batteries I have mentioned have been re paired and restored to their original_condition. I inclose the list of casualties that have arisen between the 13th and 15th inst. I have to lament the loss of two young and promising officers who had only lately joined the army, Lieutenant Preston, of the 88th Regiment, and Lieutenant Mitchell, of the Artillery ; and I regret to add that two others have been severely wounded, Captain Green, of the East India Company's Service, who has been employed throughout the siege as an assistant engineer, with great credit to himself and every advantage to the service, and Captain Donovan, of the 33d, who had most zealously served from the com mencement of the campaign. The French blew up several small mines in front of the Bastion du mat after sunset on Sunday evening, with a view to establish a parallel on the spot. This operation greatly alarmed the enemy, who at once com menced a heavy fire of cannon and musketry in every direction from that part of the town, which they kept up for a considerable time. It occasioned no harm on our left attack, upon which a part of it was directed, and I hope did little injury to our allies. Several hundreds of the Russian cavalry and a small body of Cossacks appeared on the low range of heights in front of Balaklava this morning, and remained about an hour, when they retired, the greater portion by the bridge of Tractea. The object of this movement was probably a reconnaisaance.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Paumure, &c.

( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, MAT 2. Lord Panmure has this day received two despatches and their enclosures, of which -the following are copies, widressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 17. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit for your lordship's information a letter from the Inspector- General of Hospitals expressing his satisfaction in being able to report that the sanitary condition of the army continues gradually to improve and the mortality from disease to diminish.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, (to. Enclosure. Before Sebastopol, April 17, 1855. My Lord,—lt is satisfactory to be able to say that the sanitary condition of the army continues gradually to improve, and the mortality from disease to decrease. Last week the ratio of admissions to strength was 3.95 per cent. ; this week it has been 3.52. Last week the ratio of deaths to strength was 0.35 ; this week it has been 0 . 33. This decrease may appear small to your lordship, but it must be borne in mind that 106 of the admissions, and 13 of the deaths, were the result of accidents in the trenches ; besides which three officers and 30 men were killed who have not been included in the above state ment of casualties. Fevers and bowel complaints continue to be7the pre vailing diseases amongst the troops, but in both there has been an evident decrease of admissions as well as deaths. _ _ _ In the 79th Regiment, however, there has been an increase of 19 cases of fever during the week, and the mortality from the same disease has exceeded that of the preceding week by two. Last week the deaths from fever were 7, this week they have been 9. It is in con templation to move the regiment a short distance from where it is at present encamped, as far, I und, rstand, as the defence of the post will admit of, and I think good will result from it ; but if it could be moved up to the ground where the 63d Regiment is stationed still greater advantages might be expected. In the 93d Highlanders the fever cases have become milder, and the mortality from that cause has decreased from 4, which it was last week, to 1. In the 41st and 95th Regiments, the two other regi ments' which were suffering most from fever, the mor tality has decreased during the week ; in the 41st from 6 to 2, and in the 95th from 3 to 3. There has been a decrease in all the ordinary forms of bowel complaints, but I regret to have to notice two fatal cases of cholera, one in the Artillery, and the other in the 7th Fusiliers. These were both brought up from the trenches, and both died after a few hours' illness. No other cases have occurred, and, from the general diminution of bowel affections, I trust they will prove accidental. The cavalry continue to enjoy good health, and only one casualty, out of a force of 1880 men, has oc curred during the week. The mortality in the General Hospital, at Bala klava, has also been small, and the result of the Convalescent Hospital, on the Castle Hill, has been most satisfactory. We have huts there all ready for the reception of 280 patients, and I pur pose reserving them for wounded men, as I am of opinion they would recover sooner in such a locality than in either camp, or the General Hospital at Scutari. Be sides the hospital huts at the Sanitarium, the following ships have been fitted out for the reception of wounded, viz.:-- Hut accommodation 2BO St Hilda, fitted for 9l Wm.

Whether we are destined to receive any more authentic intelligence must depend on the hazards and chances of war, and on a hundred contingencies impossible to fore. see. We must therefore make the best of the informa tion we have, and we are bound to say that the aged Lieutenant-General has given his opinions to the Com mittee with mush frankness and straightforwardness. We cannot often agree with his opinions, and we are sometimes surprised at the extent of his admissions, but it must be allowed that he had a difficult part to play in defending himself and Lord Raglan, and conciliating that defence with candour and fairness. Let us t a k e _ this remarkable series of admissions in order of time. The question is why nothing was done in the fine season towards making a road ? The first answer is, that we hoped we should not be detained in the Crimea till the bad weather came. "I was in hopes we should take the place at once, but directly I saw its strength I. altered my opinion." This was after the conclusion of the first day's fire. War is an art that should not be carried on upon hopes or conjectures ; the best general is he who trusts the least to fortune, and the worst he who, in order to snatch an immediate advantage, places the safety or perdition of his army at the disposal of causes 1 over which h e h as no control. The hope o f ta ki ng Sebastopol is no justification for not resorting to the means requisite for safety if we did not take it, any more than the expectation of winning a bet justifies a man in risking a sum which if he lose he will ba unable to pay. Surely, also, this hope would have been more justifiable if a little more pains had been tak en t o ma k e its accompliehment probable by preventing the Russians from throning up before our eyes those very earthworks so which have proved i rresi stible a barrier to our progres4. Still, however, on the 17th of October hope was at an end, and from that time Siroa J tn o o hnßurgoyne altered his opinion completely. g ow then, that we con tinued for six months from that i t , t carry on the siege on precisely the same princip le s an d with exactly the same prospects of success as those which we had be fore the 17th of October ? Surely, svhen in t r h d Raglan saw that the place could not be taken manner proposed, it was time to adopt some decisive re so order to meet the altered state of our hopes sandit"?ll cir cumstances ? To carry on operations after we hadg iven up all hope of taking the place before the winter , and after, indeed, we had good reason to entertain very slight hope of taking it at all, is a course of conduct wholly inexplicable by any of the principles which ordi narily guide human action. Was it resolved to continue the siege ? Such a resolution necessarily involved the retaining our then position during the winter, and re quired as an obvious 'consequence the immediate forma tion of a road for the purpose of transporting supplies and ammunition. Yet it was not till after November 8 that Sir John Burgoyne heard that we were to winter in the Crimea ; indeed, the resolution was not adopted till that day. Yet where else were we to winter ? We were going on with a siege, the success of which we knew to be hopeless, and yet neglecting all precaution just as much as if we expected it to terminate in a few days. No road was made before the 17th of October because we expected to take the place—no road was made before the Bth of November because, though we knew we could not take it, our General bad not made up his mind to act upon his knowledge, and still found consolation in behaving as if his hopes were not sure to be disappointed. But, at least, after the Bth of No vember there could be no doubt. On that day it was formally decided that the army should winter before the town ; indeed, Sir John Burgoyne thinks there was no alternative. Why, then, were not the troops immediately set to construct the road ? Because they were wanted in the trenches, and because we had, for some reason no t explained, undertaken more work than we were able to get through. But what were the trenches for ? To besiege a town of the capture of which within any reasonable time we had given up all hopes. So that, on Sir John Burgoyne's own showing, we were losing our communication with our only base of operations—the sea, and incurring the risk of starvation for our army, in order to carry on siege operations from which we had no present hope of success against improved works, and by reopening a cannonade which had already failed. Surely the work in tha trenches , is no excuse for not making the road unless the trenches were necessary, and the trenches could not have been necessary unless there was some prospect of success. Thus, then, after delusive hope and culpable remissness had done their worst, our men were prevented from making a road ne cessary for their very existence by labour in the trenches, which those who imposed it expected and believed must end in nothing! But, if this were so, why not withdraw our army to Balaklava, where they would have been close to their supplies, and might have waited in comfort and security till the spring ? Or, if bolder councils pre vailed, why did we not then take the field, and seek by operations against the Russian protecting force to shorten the supplies and disperse the forces that protected the town ? It is, unhappily, only too evident that our gal lant army has been sacrificed, first to an overweening and unreasonable confidence, and then to that want of promptitude and decision which makes men the slaves of an idea which they have once taken up, and forces them to adhere to it after all the circumstances which induced them to entertain it have been altered or reversed. It was thus that the Athenians adhered to the siege of Syracuse long after they themselves had given up all hope of taking the place, merely from ina bility to shake off the torpor of disappointment, and to rouse themselves to the comprehension of the perils of their new position. If Sebastopol was not to be taken, a winter campaign became unnecessary, and the waste of our army in the trenches was a wanton caste of heroic life, justified by no necessity, palliated by no einergEncy. After we had ceased to hope we continued to act as it' we hoped still. Our generals deliberately shut their eyes to impending ruin, and when it fell upon them they were unable to devise any expedient to arrest its course. _ Even if they were determined, fur some inscrutable rea son, to wear out the whole army in the trenches by undertaking more work than they were able to perform, and were therefore unable to spare a man for the labour so plainly necessary for its preservation, still they might have taken some m.teps to palliate the evil. A steamer despatched to England on the 18th of October might have returned in a little more than a month, bringing with her a number of experienced workmen, capable of saving the men from all labour except that of the trenches, and of making in a few days a road sufficient for the transport of provisions and ammunition. This is now admitted, but at the time we were told it was not thought of ; indeed, its very mention elicits a faint flicker of the old military spirit in the remark how in convenient it would have been to mix up civilians in military matters. Or, lastly, Sebastopol is only two days' sail from Constantinople, where any number of strong Armenians might have been procured to assist the labours of the soldiers—a race in every respect dif ferent, and, as far as regards the capacity of labour, superior to the Turks. Thus have we lost half our gal lant army—first, because our general could not ; next, because he would not, recognise our true position. It is a melancholy retrospect, but still more melancholy the prospect, that to the same hands our Government and our Legislature still commit the fortune of our army, and no inconsiderable portion of the honour of the nation. TEE FORTIFICATIONS OF SEBASTOPOL. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times: — Sir,—ln his examination yesterday by the committee for inquiring into the state of the army before Sebastopol, Sir John Burgoyne broadly stated that theßussian works before that place were not constructed according to my system of fortification. As this statement was made under an evident misconception—which is, I dare say, shared by many others—of what I did propose, perhaps you will allow me to state as briefly as I can in what my system really corldsts. My first proposal was to do away entirely with all bastions, raveling, and all that complicated system of outworks, which are not only so enormously expensive, but have always hitherto proved to be only traps to in sure the defeat of the besieged, and, according to the ad mission of engineers themselves, render the reduction of every fortified place a matter f certainty within 21 or 31 days, as the case may be. suplpnly of g lieuo u f n t s. this T l he p y trocpoossedlittotlseu—bsotnitlyutel27. unlimited posed to place these behind a simple paptp of t ea : T I till 8 2 1 1 : 1,000 guns consequently cost only 30,0001.,eatnd Iwoefaoprttuhlhde. besiegers. . consequently been have not had enable work i t n he s m uc t h o nouvmerbemarstcahnadndi n overpow er the position e fi as re time to o wall, or wet ditch should be placed such as a concea led over . eehi n h was O n s e m other a which condition wgs , that s r eaqa obstacle nixed p when o f the s oemr g p t r o op le ar ee e p d u i p n have e g e th on e cheaper T h et hitea.mun Russians Imayneessr at f effective —only ctive o n 1 y i t moat tbbheaetdwbeees subdued ni e g th e r s es et could h geun fire s n a ooeb n tfa d kstl aht t no h seotp e c.opk a ll, t adT t cw a c oehwh. e k ilny i n eo g r pa a s r t s y o , a ex y ped e was nefolected in this instance. availrylolliattirgetogatrhreisofnu:lteost employ,extent, h in ay s been obliged to a recourse to sorties, a n d stsole, when a material one would $ a living ob time of peace, and that h ave been both It is, perhaps, a misnomer prin ciples a system of fortification.

It is possible , indeed probable, that the defenders of Seba , top I o never heard of me or of my works, but I feel convinced that it is because they, in 1854, have come to the same conclusion that I arrived at 10 years ago that the place did not fall into the harOs of the Allies, as Sir John Burgoyne expected it would, in October last. And it appears to me to be equally certain that almost all the mistakes that have been made have arisen from our en gineers expecting that the Beige would be conducted on both sides according to the antiquated principles taught in our schools. It is too late now to remedy this error as far as Sebaa topol is concerned, but though the lesson has b een some what rudely taught us, we shall have no reason to regret the price it has cost us if we avail ourselves, as we should do, of the experience we are thus gai n i ng.
