It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whoie ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res teet ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

LOSS OF THE NEW YORK, _NEWFOUND LAND, AND LONDON SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. (From the New York Journal of Commerce.) ' An attempt has just been made by the "New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company " to lay a submarine cable from the Island of Cape Breton to Newfoundland, with the expectation and under a con tract that the Transatlantic Company, composed of French and English capitalists, will by January, 1858, connect with them at St. Johns, N.F. These united companies propose building a line from Halifax across the Island of Cape Breton to Cape North, thence across the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Ray, on the south-western shore of Newfoundland, thence along the southern coast of the latter island to St. John's, on its eastern side, and there to connect with a great sat marine cable having its terminus at Cork, Ireland ; the distance across the ocean between those points not beitig more than 1,680 miles. The land portion of the line is being rapidly built, while the submarine part of it, be tween Cape Breton and Newfoundland, the company are sanguine will be completed next year. Along this pro posed route from Cork to St. Johns, the bottom of the sea is a plateau or ridge, as discovered by Lieutenant Maury in 1853, which, from its apparent purpose - of holding the wires of a submarine telegraph, has been called the Telegraph Plateau. It is about 70 fathoms deep, gradually increasing in depth from the shorei of Newfoundland. to near those of Ireland, and some two or three miles in width. St. John's is about two days nearer England than Halifax, and contains equal facilities for coaling large steamers. A dangerous rock, called the Merlin Rock, at the narrow entrance to the harbour, 18 feet below Ithe surface of low water, has just been successfully removed by the orders and at the expense of the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, under the supervision of Mr. Husted of New York ; so that now the largest steamers i❑ the world can with safety pass in and out of that land-locked harbour. The com pany have now in process of erection commodious wharf accommodation, and such other conveniences as will;se cure to the oceanic steamers all that is necessary 'for their success. Although the zeal and perseverance of this company have been seriously tried by the failure of this their fir,t attempt to connect Cape Breton with Newfound'aivi, and by the severe loss to which they have been sub jected thereby, yet they are not at all discouraged, ljut they will be ready at the earliest practicable momentito try again. They were fully aware at the outset that serious obstacles were to be overcome before their objrct would be accomplished. They had bought out the charter of an old company, which had failed in its project of uniting those shores, though partiapy successful in building the line. They had the oppor tunity of profiting by the previous experience of that old company in laying the submarine cable whib connects New Brunswick with Prince Edward's Island —a distance of about ten miles. They also L;rought to their work the experience of a gentleman in laying the cable which connects Genoa with Corsica—a distance of 95 miles. They had the counsel and advice of those who have had the charge of laying the wires across tie British Channel, the Black Sea, and elsewhere. Still, in this enterprise they have been unsuccessful. Thy have, however, learned a lesson from which they can derive much profit. They have seen the mistaken ecp norny of employing a sailing vessel in tow of a laic steamer rather than one steamer of sufficient strength and capacity to carry the cable and to pay it out fro t .n her own hold. They have also seen the importance of commencing their operations earlier in the season, l i d of having the management of their steamer in the co - trol of one man, nautically and mechanically skillet]; who is thoroughly and experimentally acquainted wi h all the coast, the sea-soundings, the oceanic and tid 1 currents, and the winds ipreva,lent at a given. season f the year. If they have learned this lesson, it may not be t too dearly bought at an expense of 30,000 dols. The following are details of the attempt : The steam-ship Jas. Adger, Capt. S. C. Turner, of th Charleston line, after an absence of a month, arrived at this port Sept. 5, at 11.30 a.m., from an excursion tio Newfoundland, where she had been employed in layin# the Submarine Telegraph which was to connect that island with Cape Breton and the Continent of . meric4. The points of attachment for this submarine cable were, in general, Cape Ray on the Newfoundland coast, and Cape North on the Cape Breton shore ; the distance between these points being 551 nautical miles, as given by the English Admiralty. The 'ength of the cable wls 74 statute miles, being an increase of a little over 10 prr cent. over the exact distance between these —a greater allowance for the lee-way and unevenness bottom than had ever before been made-12 per cent. heing the greatest ever allowed. The water at Cad 4 Ray point was found to be shoal, and ice was sail to accumulate in large quantities there and in its immediate neighbourhood. The engineers in the eni. ploy of 'the company recommended, therefore, th4t the point of attachment should be a little further to the east—namely, Port-au-Basques, about Bevel. miles east of Cape Ray, and making the distance abod three miles farther from Cape Nor:1 on the opposiie shore. The decision ultimately arrived at was that the cable should start from a point within a cove just to the east of Cape Ray, and a mile and a half from its extrenie point. Here it was considered safe from the ice. It was thence to proceed directly across the Gulf, leavinig St. Paul's Island ou Ihe right, and to be landed within' a bay just to the east of Cape North, and some five milCs from its extreme point. If there should not be cable enough to reach this point, it was decided to make 'a temporary attachment on Cape North Point itself ; 'if not enough to reach this, to fasten it on the south-eastern shore of St. Paul's (this island being only 14 miles dii ,ant from Cape North), and to complete the connexion next year. On Wednesday, the 22d inst. the machinery on board the barque being all in readiness, she was towed by the Adger to the Cape Ray Cove. By night of the follocV ing day, the end of the telegraph cable was landed, by means of boats, which was attended with great difficulty, owing to a dense fog and a heavy sea-swell setting in towards the shore, making it dangerous for any of our vessels to approach near the land. The following day was spent in making a sure fastening upon shore, and in waiting for the heavy fog to lift, that we might proceed out to sea. On Saturday, the 25th ult., a strong wind from the N.W. prevailed, rendering it exceedingly diffi cult, as well as dangerous, for the steamer to attach her self to the barque Sarah Bryant which had brought this cable out from England. After some unsuccessful at tempts, it was accomplished. It became necessary, however, for the barque to " slip " one of her anchors before the attempt succeeded. Such was the strength of the wind, however, the roughness of the sea, and the lightness of the steamer, that it was impossible for her to keep directly ahead of the barque, with her beam to the wind, and with 'only sufficient steam upon her to propel her with the barque in tow at the rate of two or three miles an hour. Unfortunately a collision between the vessels ensued, and the hawser connecting us was cut ; so perilous was our condition in this narrow cove in a gale of wind. The Bryant still held on to the telegraph cable over her ster and after our separation from her, cut anchor. The Adger steamed up some little distance to the windward and anchored, while the. Victoria, the company's small propeller, remained near by. It was evident that all we could then do was to ride out the gale at our anchors. In a few moments after, signals of distress were hoisted on the Bryant. The Victoria near by went to her relief, but being of insufficient strength, was of no avail it. towing her out from the lee shore, upon which she was fast drifting —her anchor cable having parted. The Adger promptly slipped her own anchor and bore down to her, but so near was she upon the rocks, that it was hazardous for us to venture near her. For her own safety, therefore, she was compelled to cut the telegragh cable, which, attached to her stern, was the cause of her swinging round upon the rocks, after her anchor cable was parted. Captain Pousland, by his presence of mind and skill, succeeded in getting enough sail to bear upon her to bring her into safer and deeper water, while Captain Turner, of the Adger, by his dexterous ruanceuvres, passed under her lee while under strong sail and a heavy sea, gave her a line and took her in tow, and so rescued the vessel, cable, and the lives , of those on board from a common destruction. The anchor which the Adger slipped was before night passed to the Bryant, and we all once more lay safely anchored, bat with the loss of two miles of telegraph cable. In the collision in the, mornieg it was found that no serious damage was done %to either vessel , The Bryant lid part of her after- bulwarks, with her mizen shrouds on her starbaard side carried away. The next day, the 26th inst., the wind and sea having lulled, the lost end of the cable was recovered, and by night was spliced to the end on board the barque. The Victoria commenced towing her out into such depth of water as that the Adger might take her in the morning. The attempt was unsuccessful, for the cable parted just where the union had been effected. This day's labaur was therefore entirely lost. On the subsequent day it was thought best to take the end ashore in boats, and to make a fresh start from the land. This was success fully accomplished, and the Victoria at night towed the barque out into deep water, making all things ready for the morning. Early on Tuesday morning, the 28th, the Adger passed a hawser to the bark, and commenced towing her, she paying out the cable at about a mile and a half an hour. After passing out of, the Cove into the Gulf the current was found to be strongly setting up the Gulf to the north, and in a few hours after setting equally strong in an opposite direction. The cable was paid out at the rate of about a mile and a half an hour, with frequent interruptions by the kinking of the coils as they passed up from the hold of the ship. Early in the morning it was found that one of the wires was deficient, no electri cal current from the shore reaching the ship. About midnight, on Tuesday, the cable broke in the hold of the barque, which was not spliced until about seven o'clock the next morning. After this the cable was paid out more rapidly. On the noon of Wednesday it was found that the electrical current was interrupted in the second wire. On the afternoon of this day a strong wind sprung up from the,S.W. Late in the afternoon another break occurred, which was filially spliced, but the last and only remaining wire was now foundpfective. While laying to, repairing this, the wind-blowing almost a hurricane, this last wire was found entirely useless—such had been the strain upon the cable ; and for the safety of the bark now pitching and surging most frightfully in a heavy sea, the whole cable was ordered to be cut, and with it was severed the high hopes and joyous anticipations' of all concerned. It was too evident that the bark'must either go down, with all on board, and her remaining cargo of telegraphic wire, or the cable must be cut. There was no alterna tive. As soon as the cable was cut, the bark swung around with such force as nearly threw her on her beam ends. Most of the cable that had been " paid out" had been taken from her stun,,, so that her bows were still loaded heavily, anc it was quite problematic whether she would be able to ride out the gale, though in tow by the Adger. Just at this juncture, the British war steamer Argos hove in sight, and remained with us until, morning. But, fortunately, her assistance was riot needed ; for by morning the gale had subsided, and the bark was gallantly riding behind us. About noon of Thursday, Mr. Canning, un d er whose supervision the cable was being laid, and many of our fellow-passengers, who were on board the bark when the gale sprung up, succeeded in getting on board the Adger. They were welcomed to our circle once more, with thankful hearts and tearful eyes. We proceeded to Syd ney, keeping the bark in tow, wher e w e arrived about' rfoiir o'clock. By our unfortunate detention at Cape Ray, we had already exhausted our stock of fresh provisions and our coal was getting low. It Became necessary to replenish these there, and to repair the bark !or sea again. We accomplished this by Sunday morning, ,the 2d instant, when, about six o'clock, we turned our course home ward, leaving the bark behind us, unloading upon the wharf the remaining 32 miles of cable, which was now abandoned to the anderwriters. The run from Sydney has been delightful, and was accomplished in three days and five hours. The Adger came to her pier at twelve o'clock yesterday noon, having been out on the expedi tion 29 days and two hours. To the untiring energy and indefatigable zeal of such men as Peter Cooper, Esq„ and Cyrus W. Field, Esq„ and to the skill and unwearied exertions of Samuel Can ning, Esq., of London, we are indebted for this first at tempt to link the European c_mtinent with the western world in an instant communication. No like company has ever had to contend against such natural obstacles, or to labour against greater difficulries ; and though, for the time being, they have been unsuccessful, another season will probably witness the complete triumph of ' their perseverance and, energy, in the successful estab lishment of their telegraph line from Halifax to St. We understand that the actual cost of the cable de livered at Port-au-Basgtex, including the expense of in surance and the cost of transportation, was 75,000 dais., upon which there was a full insurance in England, the policy covering the transportation and the process of laying the cable. Tli3re had been 401 miles paid out when the cable was cut. and we were within 12 miles of St. Paul's, where it had been determined to make a temporary point of attachment, and which in all proba bility would have been accomplished, had it not been for a detention of seven hours the night previous. It is not improbable that a part of the lost cable, if not all of it,. may be recovered, but it can only be done by a heavy expenditure of tim/ and money. Such is the weight of it (between five and six tons to the mile), and such the depth of water, and the perils of the sea, that it will be a dangerous and expensive undertaking. The process of making the cable is simple. Copper wire of a small size, of the requisite length, is taken and completely insulated by means of gutta percha. Three copper wires thus enveloped aro placed together side by side in as compact a space as possible, all the interstices being filled with rope yarn. These three insulated wires are then twisted round each other by means of machi nery, as in the strands of a rope, and the whole is com pletely surrounded by another envelope of gutta percba. A. tranverse section of this cable now gives the appear ance of a solid gutta percha rope, in which appear three copper wires, running through its whole length. This is now enveloped by 12 distinct large iron wires, run ning parallel to it, which are strongly twisted around the gutta rope, as before, by means of machinery, at an angle of 45 degrees. This is then smeared with tar, and is ready for use. Its diameter is an inch and a half. This cable was coiled in the hold of the vessel in two large horizontal coils, as a rope is coiled upon the floor, filling the entire hold of the vessel. A small hole was made in the deck, through which the cable was passed over an iron roller to a large iron drum of 12 feet diameter, around which it was passed three times. From this it passed to a second iron drum of equal size, around which it passed the same number of times. Frora this point it passed over a huge iron cylinder on the stem of the vessel into the sea. These revolving drums were readily stopped by means of powerful brakes when ever it was necessary. The number of revolutions was indicated by a register attached, thus marking the amount of cable paid out per Imr. Thirty-two men were constantly employed in the hold of the vessel in throwing over the coils of cable, to avoid, as far as possible, any kinks — whieli -- might occur from its rigidity, and also to stand by the brakes whenever kinks should occur. Notwithstanding all the care exercised, it was impossible to prevent these interruptions, and on one or two occasions to prevent even a break in the cable itself. . By means of signals shown from the bark our steamer was promptly stopped at each occurrence of these un fortunate kinks. . .n, .[Anveßnsemerrr.]- - - Medicine _always aggravates chronic complaints, and it is therefore With peculiar pleasure we no tice the beneficial effect of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabic., Food, which cures indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, consti. pation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility.

SritlT OF THE PUBLIC JottRNALS. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. (Front the Times of this day.) The narrative of the ever-memorable assault ntid; fall of Sebastopol which was published yesterday, in these columns so far surpasses all ordinary events in terror and in gloom, in . the glory of our conquest and in the grief for our losses, that we know not in what terms to convey. the feelings which still agitate the country, and which he perusal of this extraordinary relation w'll extend as widely as the English language is spoken and will renew as long as tho destruction of Sebastopol glows upon the page of history. The spectacle of chat appalling catastrophe—the pitiless conflict of the day, followed by the mute unyielding retreat Ce night—the torrent of fire which had raged against the city, stilled at last by the dreadful explosions of the magazines and forts of the enemy—the superhuman efforts of valour and endurance, which seem on both sides to have exhausted all that man can dare or suffer, until humanity sickens over the recital—all tell us of the cost of such a victory, and fascinate the mind as it lingers with unmitigated pain over these scenes of anguish and of horror. But, if war drenches the earth with blood, and sports with the life of man, it dignifies these frightful contests by the noblest qualities of our nature ; it shows men superior to the crash of falling cities and the volleys of instant death ; it pursues with undaunted resolution the objects for which we took up arms ; and in the de struction of Sebastopol it discovers not a mere scene of carnage and of ruin, but the triumph of that moral energy which ennobles even man's fiercest passions. If there be any who have doubted till now of what the allied armies before Sebastopol were capable when their whole force is directed against the enemy, - those devastated ruins tell the tale of their avenging power. Happily for mankind the violence—of the storm of war has as yet fallen exclusively on one isolated point ; but it may well serve hereafter as a warning to those who, like the Emperor Nicholas, so wantonly pro voke such awful calamities. The painful feelings which this narrative must everywhere excite are greatly aggravated in this country by the details of the attack on the . Great Redan by the British troops, and by the confir mation of the unfavourable remarks which we have already been constrained to make upon General Simpson's despatch. We are now enabled to com pare the attack by the French on the Malakhoff with the unsuccessful assault on the Redan by our own forces, and we regret to say that this com parison is greatly to the disadvantage of the British army iu all that relates to the previous arrange ments, to the conduct of the attack, and to the final result. With regard to the previous ar rangements, it must, in the first place, be observed that the French had brought the head of their double sap to within 10 yards of the point of attack ; our advanced parallel was two hundred yards from the salient of the Redan, and in crossing that fatal space under fire (as on the 18th of June) a very large number of officers and men were struck. A few planks thrown over the ditch brought the French storming column into the work ; the Russians were surprised ; and, the work being a closed redoubt, could be held with success against the reinforcements of the enemy when the garrison was overpowered. In our as sault the ladders were, as usual, too short ; and the men having clambered over the salient angle of the Redan found themselves exposed to most formidable obstacles, which were increased by their peculiar position. A Redan is a triangular fortifi cation, open at the base. Our men held the angle of the work ; the Russians retained possession of the base, and threw their reinforcements into it. It is evident that a column of assailants in such a Position must be destroyed, because their fire is to that of the enemy in the ratio of the base to the angle. The only chance of success was to assault both the sides of the Redan simultaneously, and to charge the breastwork which' partly closed the gorge of the work and sheltered the Russians. But the want of reinforcements preveet3d the first of these attempts, and the men's notion that the whole place was undermined materially checked the Vigour of our attack, in which alone safety lay. Of Colonel Windham's heroic valour, coolness, and determination it is impossible to speak too highly, _and he retrieved in his own person the honour of thoarmy on that day, aided by those brave men who fell for the most part at his side in the attempt to sustain this unequal contest. We trust ►hat they and their gallant leader will instantly receive from the Government the honours and promotions their intrepid carriage deserves, and we are glad to see that General Simpson has appointed Colonel Windham Commandant of the Karabelnaia, with the rank of a Brigadier-General. But what are we to say of the unexampled conduct of the Generals commanding this critical attack, when we find that no reserves ever reached the scene of action in a condition to be of use, and that the only officer who survived to command the troops inside was at last obliged to go himself to make General Codring ton comprehend the position in which his men were placed ? Another great error seems to have been come mitted in the choice and in the numbers of the troops engaged. General Simpson states that he selected the Second and Light Divisions because they best knew the ground ; but, independently of the injustice of selecting for this service regiments which had already suffered so severely in previous actions and in the trenches, the Commander-In Chief appears to have overlooked the fact that thesegallant corps, which we may remark had already failed is a similar operation on the 18th of June, had more raw recruits and inexperienced officers in their ranks than any other divisions of the army—the inevita ble result of their previous losses. Had the attack been made or supported by the veterans of the Highland Brigade or the Guards, who would at once have borne down upon the enemy at the breast work, very little doubt can be entertained that the result would have been different. But it is now demonstrated that our inferences on this subject from General Simpson's own despatch were per fectly correct. The attack was ill-directed, in spite of the warning of a previous defeat ' • the troops were not judiciously chosen and well handled ; the reserves did not come up in time, and the Rus sians recovered their ground after a furious con test of more than an hour. The officers who en tered the work showed the most brilliant courage, and the men, considering that they fought at such a disadvantage, held their ground with extreme firmness ; but their task was a hopeless one, from the want of intelligent and energetic support outside. It must, however, be stated that of the three French attacks two failed, like our own, and that the strength of the Russian army in the defences of the town was surpris ingly great. The French fortunately carried the Malakhoff in 10 minutes, and were able, by a fly ing sap and a rapid intrenchment, to establish themselves in it ; but for four hours more they had to withstand the efforts of the Russians to recover the work, all of which were repulsed with great slaughter ou both sides, the French loss on that eventful day amounting in killed and wounded to more than 7,000 men. These attacks would have been more formidable if tho whole enceinte of the town had not been simultaneously threatened and assailed, and General Niel states in his report that, although the importance of the secondary attacks was not overrated by himself and General ,Tones, yet they were considered essential to the success of the main operation. The feeling of the army is, that both nations have contributed to the best of their ability to the grand result, and we do not remember a more touching example of gene rous gallantry than the hearty and spontaneous cheer raised by the men of the British Second Division on the following day when the French Zouaves, more successful than themselves, marched past their quarters. The British army is proud, but vanity and envy are not among its defects. It is grievous to turn from these examples of the nobler spirit of a soldier's life to the scenes of horror and barberity witnessed by those who first pene trated into the recesses of the beleaguered city. The Russian General had effected his retreat, but he left behind him the most hideous evidence of the straits to which he had been reduced and of the indifference to human life which disgraces the Russian army. Fort Paul and the adjacent build ings were used as hospitals, in which, after an in terval of three days, hundreds of corpses were found of those who had perished from their untended wounds or the unsatisfied cravings of nature. To all appearance these unhappy beings had been aban doned to their fate, just as the wounded after the battle of the Borodino were left to perish in the fire of Moscow in 1812 ; and that fate, inflicted by their own savage countrymen, was infinitely worse than aught that can be conceived of the horrors of a field of battle. It was surely in Prince Gortscha koff's power, when ho resolved to evacuate the town, to leave behind him persons qualified to re live the immediate wants of the sick, whose office would have been respected by any civilised Power. Instead of this, he abandoned them to their fate, t well knowing that the 50A Qi fire 110 hAd 401e(13 (Prom , the Daily News of tias day.)

'The Engli soldiers who fell at the Radon are 'victims to t incapacity of those in command. We- publi this day letters from three correspondents—all 1 them men of intelligence, observation, and a hi sense of honour and veraoity, but differing wide in natural temperament, acquired habits of viewii the events of life, and the point of view from whi they observe the proceeding of the Bth of Septe ber. From a careful collation of their commun cations it is apparent that there has been a wauto and needless waste of British blood. It is allowe on all hands that the French assailants of the Mal khoff, *hose trenches had been pushed close up t the ditch, reached the breach almost unscathed b the enemy's fire. Their trenches were extensi and roomy—capable of sheltering large nuMbers soldiers, perfectly protected from the fire, withoi being crowded ; and thus the column of assaut could be made strong and the supports moved ui with perfect regularity and promptitude. Th( English trenches, on the contrary, were twice of thrice as far from the point to be assailed as tit( French, and were so narrow and inconvenient thai the troops assembled in them were so .crowde as to render the preservation, of order utterly im possible. Either from this cause, or from gros ignorance of their business on the part of those i command, the assailing column was deficient iii numbers, and it was left unsupported to maintain a hopeless struggle under a deadly fire. Yet we learn from our Correspondent late on the Danube that reiterated remonstrances had been made by the French commanders on the ground o the danger and impolicy or not pushing the sap dos up to the ditch, but in vain. Our publicly accre-; dited Correspondent for the Crimea affirms that General Codriugton, for some mysterious reason, kept back the troops which crowded the trenches till the Russians had time to bring up their re serves, and that his aides-de-camp, ignorant of the\ topography of the trenches, carried his orders tot the wrong regiments. And lastly , o ur third Cor • respondent—who has traced the e vents of the', whole siege in what we may call a regular journal, compiled from actual observation—states that' owing to want of proper command * the most com plete and paralysing confusion pervaded the whole of the attack. These three gentlemen move in , entirely different circles, and their l e t t ers were ; written and despatched before they could have an y communication with each other. Their ) views, too, are corroborated by two witnesses,i who are animated by sentimenls the reverse of? inimical to those in command. General Simpson,' in his confused and uncommunicative despatch, admits • the damning fact that the trenches: ' wore so over-crowded that the supports could . not be moved up. The principal correspondent' of the Times—we are certain, from sincere conviction —labours hard to show that the fault in the assault of the Redan lay with the men, not with the commanders. Opposed to this view there are numerous circumstances that cannot be over looked. The writer to whom we allude would seem to imply that the assailing column was composed exclusively of raw recruits. If this had been the case such a selection would reflect severely on the judgment of those in command. But our own Cor-. respondent, who visited the scene of slaughter about n oon on the day after the assault, writes : " By the time I reached the fatal open in front of our fifth parallel the dead had been gathered off the ground —the officers having been taken to the camp and the men thrown into the broad deep ditch of the Redan. . . Those who had died within the Re dan had also been gathered into the ditch ; so that I looked upon nearly all the British who had fallen in this last scene of an eleven mouths' tragedy. The first fact that struck an observer was, that nearly all who lay there were old soldiers, men who had borne the heat and burden of the day ; hardly a beardless face was to be seen." And fora proof that these vete rans fought bravely, we need only refer to the fact that the time they are estimated, by Generals Simp son and Niel, to have k e p t their ground against over powering odds varies from one to two hours. And there is another fact, stated by the correspondent of the Times himself, that forbids us to attribute to the gallant dead the blame which must rest else where. " Colonel Windham saw there was no time to be lost. He had sent three officers for reinforce -nts . . . . and now he resolved. to ao to General me. . n himself.

Now, as from the beginning of the war, the fault is in the home authorities. They have .learned nothing by the experience of last winter ; they have remained unmoved to penitence and amendment by the dread reve lations elicited by the Sebastopol We have heard the r emark made by C om mittee. veteran foreign officers of high reputation, that, in their intercourse with our Ministers, they have been impressed with the painful conviction that there is only one man among them—Lord Hardinge —who understands anything about military affairs. 1 How could it be otherwise ? The only other soldier among them is the Minister at War, and his expe rience is confined to what he acquired as a subaltern officer in a marching regiment in country quarters long years ago—before he had laid down the sword to devote himself to party politics. When Parlia ment meets, the public will look for another Sebas topol Committee ; and if the people are true to themselves they will take good care that their re presentatives in the House of Commons do not fol low up the investigation by a scandalous shrinking from pronouncing a well-deserved condemnatory judgment.

"SI - In the week that ended on Saturday the deaths of 93 4 k 4Z persom (namely, 466 males and 465 females) were regies'4 l a t ."\- 4 tered in the metropolitan districts , a number what' shows a decrease of about 100 on each of the three Pre: / k ,. **.t. -s' l "7 . 6* vions weeks, and indicates a satisfactory condition of thsi_ public health. In the corresponding weeks of 1350 and --- • r !,s, 1852, when the population was less than at present, tha , deaths were respectively 858 and 913. Except in these instances the number of deaths in corresponding wee k s 0\ ,k • since 1846 was greater than that which appears in the present return. In the epidemic years of 1849 and 1854 cholera had by this tithe slid* some abatement ; but in the thiid week of Septemberin the former year it raised the deaths .from all causes to 1,981, and in the latter year to 2,504. The diseases of zymotic 014.1.' 1 lapter produce at this time more than a fourth part of the mortality. Of 253 deaths . referred to this class last week, 76 were caused by diar rhoea, 63 by typhus and other fever, 50 by scarlatina, 16 by hooping•cough, 11 by small-pox, 9by cholera, 7by erysipelas, 5 by measles, 5 by croup, 5 (of which 3 oc curred in the Paddington workhouse) by syphilis in in. fang, 3by dysentery, 2 thrush, 1 influenza. Diarrhoea continues to fall rapidly, the mean weekly temperature having also fallen considerably since the period in which the disease attained its maximum. A case of malignant cholera of 24 hours' duration was fatal in Victoria-street, Ilomerton, and another case, apparently of severe char acter, in Waggoner's-place, Shadwell. It was mentioned in the return for the previous week that a plumber died on the 9th inst. of " Asaitic cholera" at 50, Market street, London-road ;it is now reported that the wife of a shoemaker died of cholera on the 16th in the same house. Fever has prevailed to some extent in the sub-district of Mile -end Old Town Lower ; and the registrar of Mile end New Town records the death of a child, on which an inquest has been held, from neglect, and from the unwholesome and overcrowded state of the house in which it dwelt. 21-Ir. Leach adds the following remarks : "The room in which the death occurred is only about 12 feet square, and when I saw it, was occupied by 8 persons, all in great poverty and distress. The debris of two houses, which had fallen doWn, nearly prevented com murication with it, and the court, which is over-crowded, was in consquence of bad smells and want of pure air in an extremely offensive condition" Last week the births of 841 boys and 817 girls, in all 1658 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the yearn 1845-54 the average number was 1361. cut n ch fY; of 114- )ral ;nt, its
