Three young girls, named Emma Smith., Mary A Rede, and Emma Greenwood, were placed at the bar this morning, charged with creating a disturbance outside St. Giles'a Workhouse lust night. Phillips, the watchman, having been sworn, said-- DEC. 22.—The following appointments and changes have occurred in the army : Capt. Elrington, 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, succeeds Capt. Mackenzie, 92d Highlanders, as Brigade M a j or to the First Brigade of the Light Division ; Brevet Lieut.-Col Mayow, late Brigade Major to the Light Cavalry Brigade, is transferred to the Quartermaster- General's Department, and is appointed Assistant Quar termaster-General to the Cavalry Division ; Captain Tomlinson, Bth Hussars, takes the place of Lieut.-Colo nel Mayow as Major of Brigade to the Brigade of Light Cavalry ; Capt. the Hon. Gilbsrt tiliot, Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, and Capt. the Hon. A. M. Cathcart, 93d Regiment, who both acted as aides-de-camp to the late Lieutenant-General Sir George Cathcart, and Captain W. Bellairs, 49th Regiment, are appointed to act as Deputy Assistants in the Adjutant and Quartermaster- General's Department, as their services may bs required ; Captain Mackenzie, 92d Regiment, has gone to Bala. kiava, as Assistant Quartermaster-General ; Major T. W. M‘Ma,hon, late Assistant Quartermaster-General in the Division of Cavalry, proceeds to England on account of ill health. About a quarter past seven last night the throe girls applied for admission as casral paupers, and were told to wait till the accommodation of the aged and those having children had been provided. On hearing this intimation they commenced abusing him, and after doing so for some time they each threw a large stone at the windows of the infirmary ; they were then given in charge to the police. On Redo being conveyed to the station she told the constable that she would put the parish to more expense than merely breaking the windows before she had done with it. Rede—And so I will. On the magistrate asking them what they had to say to the charge, Greenwood, who acted as spokeswoman, said if they had taken us in and given us a bit of bread we should not have acted as we have done. If we are sent to pri son we shall do exactly the same thing when we come out if they refuse to give us shelter. We had. all been walking about for two nights. The Magistrate fined them each four shillings, the amount of the damage, or, in default, imprisonment for one month. The following officers also have leave to proceed to England for the recovery of health at the recommenda tion of medical boards :—Captains G. Bingham Jen ings, 19th Regiment ' • T. Yorko Dallas, 11th H ussars ; J. G. Gould, 63d Regiment ; E. G. Buliver, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers; and Captain and Paymaster J. Telford, 17th Regiment ; Paymaster Wheatley, 42d Highlanders ; First-class Staff-surgeon George Carr ; Lieutenants Emilius Radcliffe, 88th Regiment ; Robert Macneil, the Buffs, but attached to the 13th Light Dragoons ; J. O'Brien, 30th Regiment ; J. Chandos Harcourt, 30th Regiment ; and H. Mitford, 19th Regiment. Cornet H. Booth, 4th Light Dragoons. There is also a long list of officers to whom leave of absence has been granted at the recommendation of Medical Boards, to proceed during limited periods to Scutari for the benefit of health. The prisoners left the bar vowing vengeance against Phillips and the workhouse windows. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OFTHE PACIFIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. Early this morning the United States mail steam shipw Pacific, Captain N ye, arr i ve d i n th e M ersey with the usual mails f rom th e U n it e d S tates an d British North America. She sailed from New York on the 28th ult., having been detained one day by fog, and has brought besides the mails 97 passen gers, but no spooio. Lord Elgin was one of the passengers. • A proposition has been made to the Senate offer ing mediation to the United States upon the East ern question. We have dates from California to Dec. 1, and one million and a half of dollars in gold dust has reached New York. An attempt has been made at San Francisco to liberate the Russian prisoners on board the prize ship Sitka. Business was dull at New York. The cotton market was dull at the opening, and cottons had fallen a quarter cent, but recovered again, closing firmly. The breadstuff market was quiet and firm; flour was duller and rather dearer • in consequence of the small stock of wheat, prices had' advanced ten cents. Indian corn was brisk at a trifling rise. The market for provisions was quiet and without alteration. At the general court-martial held on the 18th December, No. 3505, Private Francis Hagerty, 4th Regiment, was tried for having struck an officer and a sergeant, while in the execution of their duty. The prisoner was drunk. He was found guilty, and sentenced to 50 lashes and 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour, which Lord Raglan con firmed ; but remarks : "The offences of which the prisoner has been very properly found guilty are of so serious a character as to justify the infliction of the whole punishment awarded by the Court ; but, in consideration of the youth and inexperience of the prisoner, and the circumstance under which the crimes were committed, and in the hope that his expressions of sorrow and contrition are sincere, the commander of the forces is induced to remit all punish ment, and to award his pardon, thus affording him an immediate opportunity of showing, by his conduct, that he is not unworthy of the lenity that is now extended to him." The following copy of a letter from the Military Secretary to Viscount Hardinge, General Com manding-in-Chief, has been published for the infor mation of the troops : " Horse Guards, Nov. 24, 1854. "My Lord—l have received the directions of the General Commanding-in-Chief to acquaint your lordship that her Majesty has been pleased to approve of the ad dition of three supernumerary Lieutenants and three supernumerary Ensigns to each of the regiments of the line serving with the army under your lordship's cora mand.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient humble servant, (Signed) "Field-Marshal the Right lion. the Lord Raglan, G.C.8." Freights were steady and unchanged. The royal mail steam-ship Washington, from Bremen and Southampton on the 6th ult., arrived at New York on the 24th. The Pacific, on entering the Mersey, ran down the Corinthian, bound for Algoa Bay ; all the crew wero saved. ROY AL INSTITUTE OP BRITISH ARCRITECTS. " C. YORKE. At the usual hi-monthly meeting at their rooms, 17 Grosvenor-street,.Mr. Betjarnin Perry in the chair; Professor DONALDSON, hen. BCC I on layer, on the table the several donations presented to the library and museum since the last meeting, mentioned that a new process of oil painting was at present being tried at Metz, whereby, without any previous preparation of the plaster, the whole effect of fresco was obtained. The decorations were painted on an exceedingly thin medium, and then made adherent to the walls. lie also referred to the new blocks of houses in course of erection in the neighbourhood of the Louvre, and stated that the municipality of Paris have lately voted a million of mo ney to improve and ornament that city, in order to bring to it a concourse of strangers, and thereby promote the welfare of every-class of tradesmen. Mr. BAKER then exhibited an, elegant model of the dome of the tomb of Ibrahim Elijah at Beegepoor, which, even under disadvantageous circumstances, showed that the equilibrium of that structure was so perfect that no abutment was required to counteract a lateral thrust. appearance Mr. C ALDr f E L t L h e re s ad pir a e n interesting a i int vpe Ch r u o r n ch t , he warped appearance of the spire of All Saints' Church, Chester- Chester field. There were(he said) different opinions entertained about it in the neighbourhood of the town. Some persons maintained that it had been built awry, whilst others, in contradiction to their eyesight, maintained that it was perfectly straight. He found, in reference to the his tory of the church, that it bad been dedicated in 1232 ; but he had been unable to discover at what time the spire assumed its present twisted ap pearance. A. work, published in 1753, descriptive of Derbyshire, referred to the circumstance of its beino• warped, but gave no c l ue as to the time it became so .b By correct measurement, the top of the spire had a de flection of seven feet from the perpendicular, in a south western direction. He had himself recently examined it, and found that the tower supporting it had never in the least settled, but he also found that the sus taining timbers had been put up on a bad system of construction, so that a set of columns on the weather side of the spire contracted ; and it was his opinion that the other seta were twisted by the weight of the superincumbent lead, so as to accommodate that subsidence, and that the lead itself thereby was made to assume the warped appearance which it at present presents. THE INVALIDS FROM THE CRIMEA. 33 detachments of regiments serving in the Crimea arrived at 3 p.m. yesterday at the Inva l id Depot Fort Pitt, Chatham, from Portsmouth. They consist of the 2d, sth, 6th Dragoons, Bth Hussars, 4th Foot, 13th Light Dragocins, 13th Foot, 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 23d, 28th, 30th, 33d, 39th, 41st, 44th, 47th, 50th, 63d, 55th, 68:.b, 79th, 88th, 89th, 95th, 92d HighlanderP, Rifle Brigade, and seven Fusiliers, making a total of 103 non-commissioned officers and men, under the command of Captain Edward Streatfield, 44th Regt., with Staff-Surgeon Reid. The troops, owing to the greater number being wounded and with loss of limbs, were immediately attended to by the chief medical officer of the hospital, Dr. Taylor, when, after the in spection, 72 men w ere t a k en i n t o hospital, and 36 were sent down to the Invalid Depot Barracks, St. Mary's. With the above invalids there were several of the Guards • they went to London to join the head-quar ters, and those of the Royal Artillery proceeded to Woolwich, These invalids came home in the ship Candia ; they left Scut: tri on the 24th of December last, were for 15 clays on the ship's rations ; yesterday they came to London. An interesting conversation followed the reading of Mr. Caldwell's paper, for which he received the thanks of the meeting. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Jan. a. —The prospects of negotiations ' for peace have had a beneficial influence upon the mar ket this morning, and there has been a good deal of in quiry both for yarn and cloth. At the same time sellers have attempted slightly to improve prices, and this has somewhat checked sales, which have consequently been to a moderate extent only. In co p y arns b u y ers re p or t an advance of nearly ad. per lb. India goods are rather neglected, but holders are firm. In cloths for the Me diterranean and the Levant there has been a rather better demand at last prices. LEEDS, Jan. 9.—There has been a fair business done in the cloth markets this morning. A better feeling is manifested, and the expectation that a considerable por- tion of the navy contracts that are to be sent in to•mor row, will find their way into this district is infusing more vigour into this market. MILITARY CONVENTION BETWEEN AU,TI?IA AND PRUSSIA• For some days past the German papers have been speaking of a military convention concluded be tween Prussia and Austria, which the latter Power hld called upon Prussia to fulfil. The version which the papers give of this convention being, erroneous, we are glad to be enabled to lay the text of the article before our readers. It is as follows : cc MILITARY CONVENTION ANNEXED TO TIIE CONVEN TION CONCLUDED BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA, ON THE 20TH OF APRIL, 1854. " Art. 1. Austria engages herself to add to the 150,000 men wh o are assembled in Hungary, on the Danube, and on the Saur, 100,000 men, who will together compose a second army —and that as soon as the necessity of the measure shall be felt, and at periods which she will appoint in accordance with Prussia. The troops mobilised in Gallicia, in Tran sylvania, in Moravia, and joined in Gallicia, as a corps d'armee, or in separate bodies, will remain in intimate relations with the military forces of Prussia. " Art. 2. Prussia engages herself, on her side, to concentrate, according to the circumstances, 100,000 men within the space of thirty-six days ; to wit, one-third of these forces in Eastern Prussia, and the two others at Posen or at Breslau. Besides this, she binds herself to raise her army to the number of 200,000 men, if the circumstances should require it, in coming to an understanding each time in that respect with Austria. "Art. 3. The military convention of the Ger manic Confederation preserves all its force as re spects Prussia and Austria. "Art. 4. The Minister of War in Prussia and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial army engage themselves mutually to make to each other all the communications necessary to insure the maintenance of the troops at the amount deter mined on above, their organisation, and their meeting at the periods fixed, as well as the places of their meeting. " Art. 5. Austria and Prussia will reciprocally accredit superior officers to the two contracting States, as soon as Prussia shall have commenced placing her army on a war-footing, in order to arrive at a complete understanding with respect to the measures which they will have to adopt. Superior officers will be afterwards accredited to the two armies. "Art. 6. The direction to be given to these armies when united shall be based on this prin ciple, that the object of the support which the two Powers are to afford each other reciprocally is merely to repulse an attack. " The present convention has been passed at Berlin on this 20th of April, 1854. (Signed) "0. TH. DE MANTEUFFEL. "HENRY BARON DE HESS, General of Artillery." RUSSIAN MODE OF _FIGHTING IN THE CRIMEA. A letter from Sebastopol, dated the 24th ult., in he Constitutionnel, says :—" The battles of the Alma and Inkerman, and the siege of Sebastopol, have enabled us to study the Russian army em ployed in the Crimea. Although this army is partly composed of troops from the Danube and the Canes - sus, it is clunsy, not easily handled, and mama It vres badly in presence of an enterprising enemy. Its generals always place it for bivouac's, as in the field of battle, in great masses, anl they do not know how to deploy it after an at tack, nor when to make it resist in a thin line. The Russian inflantly is very badly armed. Seine companies only have carbines made at Liege ; the muskets, only recently transformed, badly kept,and with butt- e nd s i n w hit e woo d , do not last long in a campaign. This infantry will never attain the level of the French infantry, which is really the first iu the world for making war in woody or hilly countries, where the generals-in chief leaves a great deal to the initiative of the sol diers and to the chiefs of corps and battalions. In the defensive, the preference must be given to the English infantry, who, under the fire of the enemy, rest immovable as a rampart. In a level and exposed country, our infantry will have to modify its manner of combatting, and to resume its old one. This consists in employing compact or thin order (epais on mince), but it can only he employed with intelligent and experienced troops. Its superiority in arms and intelligence will, however, always give to our infantry the advantage over the Russian infantry, which will always lose half its value when obliged to change its place rapidly. On the Alma, entire Russian battalions took to flight in surprise at the Zouaves' way of fighting— they having.advanced erg Isism in large bodies de ployed, having taken advantage of all the accidents of the ground to shelter themselves and to rally, end having made against the masses a terrible use of the peculiar arms confided to their skill. At In kerman, in the upper part of the battle-field, and on the line of the English, the Russian infantry bravely attacked the enemy, but did not know how to deploy its masses so as to bring more muskets into play, and when the French attacked their left flank entire battalions did not know how to change their position. The first ranks bravely resisted, but the following ranks fired in presenting arms. Surprised afterwards by the sharp attack of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, masses of men, instead of effecting their retreat by the crests of the hills, de scended slowly to the lower parts of the ground and the ravines, where they allowed themselves to be crushed almost without defence by from 1,000 to 1,200 French. The English have so well understood the advantages which troops would have in attacking either artillery or masses of infantry, in woody or hilly countries, whilst preserving the order deployed by the first line, that at Inkerman they did not employ the order in columns, which caused the' to lose so great a number of men on the Alma. On the Alma, the Russian cavalry was worse than timid; not a charge did it attempt. At Inkerman, the nature of the ground prevented it from taking part in the affair. At Balaklava, it did not dare to await the charge of two squadrons of Chasseurs d'Afrique. The famous Cossacks have, in fact, never attempted, even in the plain, to carry off our advanced posts, or the marauders who pass our lines ; but it is said that this cavalry is but little esteemed, even in Russia. As a set-off to this the Russians really possess a great superiority both over the French and the English, and especially over the French, in their artillery. The Emperor Nicholas, no doubt in the expecta tion of a war against all the nations of the south of Europe, occupied himself a good deal with that arm, which has male great progress since the wars at the beginning of the century. The cannon are of a large calibre, the carriages and caissons well made and easily moved ; the artillerymen are brave and accustomed to their service ; the officers know perfectly well how to choose offensive and defensive positions ; they occupy them with bold ness, hold them a long time, and know how to leave them without leaving their nuns. You will now understand why we are still before the walls of Sebastopol, and a by that place would cost us so much blood if we were to make an assault before its unextinguished batteries. But we hope the town will surrender in consequence of the difficulty it is under of obtainingsupplies of provisions, orthat we shall obtain its keys b.) , giving a grand battle to the army in the field. The stores of ammunition in Sebastopol aro inexhaustible, and as the invest ment is not complete, the garrison can b e r eli eve d and increased eve r y day. Without being initiated in the secrets of the generals-in-chief, everything causes us to believe that they are waiting the arrival of reinforcements which aro on the way, in order to resume the attacks which, so to speak, have been suspended since the day of the battle of Inkerman. We shall have in the French and English trgnches at least 300 pieces which will open their fire, and it is more than probable that in the meantime the army of observation will destroy in a battle the Russian army in the field." DIE MAIM—SOUTRAMPTON, Tuesday, Jan. 9.—The Royal mail steam-ship Great Western, Captain T. A. Bevis, sailed this afternoon with th e usua l monthly mails for Lisbon, Madeira, Teneriffe, Cape Verdes, Pernam buco, Rio Janeirio, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres. The Great Western has a valuable cargo of Bri tish and French merchandise, specie valued at 32,000/. sterling, and 92 passengers, among whom are the Duke of Saxe Coburg and suite for Lisbon, and Mr. Souvi leithnew, Austrian Minister at Rio. The next home ward mails from the. Brazils and River Plate are due here on the 16th inst., by the Royal mail steamer Great Western.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine is to leave on the 20th inst. with the mails for India, China, and the Mediterranean. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—The half-yearly' meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Coleman-street; Mr. J. Wilson in the chair. The accounts showed that the receipts for the half-year end ing the 31st of December last amounted to 22,9951., in chiding 2771. from the last account, and 22,5001., the half-year's rent o f th e ra il way received from the South- Eastern Company.

The show of foreign wheat was but moderate. Sales pro gressed with great heaviness; indeed, there were scarcely any buyers to be met with. We had an unusually dull inquiry for both barley and malt, the value of which had a downward tendency. For oats, brans, peas, and flour there was scarcely any demand.

DEATH OF THE GOAT OF THE 23D FDSILIERS.—The celebrated snow-white goat presented by her Majesty to the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers died on the 20th ult. After weathering the campaign in Bulgaria, and march ing proudly at the head of his regiment from Kalamita Bay to Sebastopol, ho has at last fallen without wear ing the Alma medal he had earned on the way. His stately demeanour and reverend beard made him a prominent feature in the appearance of the regiment as it moved along, and the gap left by his absence will force a recollection of the fine animal upon the memory of every one familiar with the gallant 23d. He had been hutted and every care had been taken to protect him against the exposure and inclement weather, but all this atten tion was unavailing, and he died two days ago. " DISORGANISATION."--- A French correspondent writes from before Sebastopol, on the 16th ult. : "The health of our troops is excellent ; it is only the uew ar rivals that furnish some patients to the hospitals. The first five divisions are case-hardened and support every thing with an admirable patience and tenacity. The English do not yield to them in anything. Th e y grum bl e a little, perhaps, but they always do their duty like brave soldiers as they are."

The following communication relates to the dearth of food which has lately b een found to prevail in some parts of Turkey, and wb ich must be attributed to the imperfect means of transit throughout that country : " Sir,—l annex an ext. met of a communication from Adrianople of the 21st ult ~ which at the present, time may not be without intere et. By it you will perceive that in the very heart of 'European Turkey. usually a district teeming with almost prodigal abundance, an absolute dearth of grain pveflent and prospective is the order of the day. " Ih September the pri ces of grain were moderate, and we could have obtainer I. good wheat at about 405., barley 265., maize 275. pe r quarter, free 'on board at Enos, but since that period! our market has continually advanced, and at. present ;good wheat would cost over 70e. per. quarter ; and our.

" To give an idea of our - wants, we are compelled to pay for our lour a price - eq aril to 4d. per pound. " 'Barley is selling at about 325. per quarter, and scarce. We have in this treighbourhood 4,000 French Cuirasseurs, apparently bent. on wintering here, which causes a great consumption of barley and forage.' "I emain, &c., " T. BOOKER." LORD STA.NLEY . AT BLACKBURN. • An inaugural meeting o f the members of the Black burn Mechanics' Institug p'n took place in the Theatre Royal, on Thursday eveni tei-;•. • Lord Stanley was unani iously voted chairman, amidst loud applause. His lords iip on addressing the audience said—With regard to theii. means of supporting such an institution the question ad ilitted of a himple reply. They had a population of nearly 50,000 persons—a population which, within the last 20 years, had nearly doubled in number. He was told tint t the rateable annual value of property there was, two yes ,rs ago, about 100,0001., and that it had since risen to 1:12,000/. ; thus showing, not only the possession of a kr; le amount of wealth, but also that that wealth was ski! .lily on the increase. And, as regarded the position. of the labouring population, he (the chairman) was informed on the best authority that the wages of high s:killed labourers varied from 15s. to ISs. per week,; which was about the average price of that district, but half as much more than was paid in the agricultural: districts of England. There was no_ question, theref *ire, but the members of the in stitution had the means 'of existing as an institution if they thought proper. isi the next place, what was the necessity for the existence of such an institution ? He found, however ' by evidence not absol u t e ly conc l us i ve , but upon which he was ire clined to rely, that the amount consumed in drink in lackburn was 4001. a day, or lather more than 140,00 N. per year. In that respect their condition was hiebei • and better than that of many neighbouring corammtitiol s. (Cheers.). At the same time it was evident that such a consumption—a consumption sufficient to maintain fel ir hundred public-houses and beer-shops—was still a gri lat anomaly. Amongst those present who took an in terest, and had shown a pe cuniary interest in the institution, were masters em ploying some 12,000 or 1:1,000 hands, lie thou g ht that was a proof that the in at itution was intended for the operative classes, and that it would be supported both by the employer and the ..employed. He would state in few-words the circumstances under which they met. If it were possible, he would recommend the estab lishment of a free library; but if that, were not possi ble, and he thought it was not—for it implied not only the possession of funds sufficient to establish, but also .to maintain it—if it were not possible to maintain such a library, as the next best alternative he would re commend the library of the institution to bo thrown open to all parties who were not members, on payment of a small charge. Look:at Manchester ; the free library in that town cost something like 12,0001.—it is free to all classes, and at all hoar?. He would venture to say that no private iudivid eat in Manchester had in his library a 'collection of books half so valuable as that which was brought together in the free library of that town. We in England were very much behind hand in this matter. There was no large town in Franco that had not also its collection of books, generally largo, and pretty well chosen. If they considered what was a well-attested fact, that 50,.400,000/. were spent annually in this country on intoicicating• drinks, and in Blackburn alone something like 140,0001., he would say th a t th e sum required to establish a public free library, which would be open to all, and a source of pleasure, interest, and instruction for years, was not much more than the receipts at the public•houses and beer-shops of Black burn for one single week. (Checrs.) Ho was con vinced that what had been done in Preston, Bolton, and other towns, Blackburn would also be able to do. He looked back upon their past, and found that even amongst other industrial communities Blackburn had still held a place. It was there, 90 years ago, the ingenuity of Hargreives added millions of wealth to the "ration, and shed a lustre on the place of his birth and his labours. - ,rreat cheering.) He was confident they would not let it be said they were now resting upon their past triumphs and sus mess. lam still more confident (his lordship continued) tha's, - you will not let it be said that, amidst the bustle of gusintav, and' the excitement of commercial competition, you have for gotten the higher and more ennobling claims of human intelligence, and of moral and mental progress. (The noble chairman rgsumed his seat amidst loud applause.) THE TVAR IN THE CRIMEA. ( From Galignani's Messenger.) The leading columns of the Paris journals of this day have more interest than for some days past. The Assem blee Nationale has a long article on the war with Russia, which has for object to show the excellent organisation of the French army. In the course of the article, the writer speaks of its superiority in this respect over the English army, and quotes, in support of its statements, the authority of the English journals. We will not attempt to deny that much of what has been said on this subject by the English press may be tree. It is not surprising that in a country which has been, since the peace of 1815, under the influence of the partisans of ego nomy to such an extent that no Ministry could hope to remain in power except on the hondition of reducing the means of national defence, the organisation of the army should have been neglected ; and the only wonder is, that after so long a period of neg ligence, the army should have been capable of the great deeds that it has accomplished since the com mencement of the war with Russia. Nor is it surpris ing that the French army, which bad been kept up on nearly a war footing, and for which, in succession, full occupation was found in Algeria, should have acquired a vast superiority in the organisation of campth, the sup plies of materiel, and the means of supporting privations which are as essential for the success as the skill and courage of the soldiery. The Assemblee Natioftale, how ever, should make some allowance for exaggeration in the accounts given in certain English journals. It is impossible, after reading the letters which have been re ceived from officers of the French army before Sebasto pol, to pace implicit belief in the statements of news paper correspondent s as regards the condition of the Eng. lish army. The French letters show that, if more care and intelligence have been manifested by the persons charged to carry into execution the orders of the French Government than have been displayed by the agents of that of England, and if more foresight has marked the conduct of one Government than has been shown by the other, the privations complained of as respects the English army have been to a certain extent the un avoidable result of circumstances against which no fore sight could provide, and which no care could remedy. Nor must we believe what has been said in some of the newspaper letters from the Crimea, about the discou ragement, and even despair, of the English soldiers; We have the authority of a French officer for declaring that the English soldiers have borne their privations with fortitude, and even with cheerfulness. This officer says, " The English soldiers grumble a little (it is the privilege of an Englishman to grumble), but they bear everything with courage, like noble fellows as they are," and then he goes on to mention facts to show that the English soldier laughs even when he grumbles. The Assembl6e Nationale says : " Far from us be the idea of taking anything from the glory which ',the English army has gained in the campaign, and at so dear a cost. - Under the fire of the enemy, in presence of more consi derable forces, our brave allies have bad in the trophies of the Alma and of Inkerman a share which awe appre ciate at its just value ; but if their bravery is equal to ours, we want no other testimony but theirs as to the excellence of our military organisation. It is they who every day cry up with admin Con and envy —non equi• dem invicloo, minor magis—the spirit and organisation of our army. It is they who have shown us the French rioldier, as ardent in the charge as firm before the as saults of the enemy; as courageous against sickness and as patient in the midst of sufferings of every kind as intrepid on the field of battle ; always animated with the same spirit, always full of resources, always ready to devote himself, and penetrated with that chivalrous emu• lation which constitutes the force of great armies. It is the English journals which have informed us that whilst, in coni,equence of privations and illness, a sort of disorganisation was creeping into the ranks of their army order and abundance were to be seen in the French camp, and that when once the French soldiers hail purfoimcd their share in the common task their first care was to g•o to the assistance of their allies, to repair their roads, to construct new ones, to transport and take care of their sick, and to insure their supplies." The amstitutionnel has a resume of the last accounts from Sebastopol. It is useful as a warning not to attach credit to the rumours which arc gnt up, and which are totally inconsistent 7,ith the real state of things. One would have thought that the famous canard a la tart care, as the that rumour of the taking of Sebastopol has been called, would have made the public more cautions, but people are so willing to believe what they desire that every fresh rumour of the taking of Sebastopol finds a certain degree of credence. The Constitutionnel says : " The inactions of the Generals-in-Chief, which our correspondents in the Crimea, ignorant as they are of the news from Europe, found it difficult to understand, is easily explained. Before striking the decisive blow, the Generals are waiting until the Turkish army shall have entirely disembarked at Eupatoria, and shall have combined its movements with theirs. What is the obstacle which has hitherto rendered the capture of Sebastopol impossible ? It is that the Allies have not been able to invest the place, that the latter could obtain supplies without difficulty, and that the garri son was incessantly renewed from the supporting army. The Russians, since the battle of Inkerman taught them that they could not cause the siege to be raised, have done nothing but endeavour to prolong this state of things. The Allies, on their part, have determined to put a stop to it. Eupatoria has been re-occupied by a European division; officers of artillery and engineers hay. been sent there to throw zip works of art and forti fications, in order to make it as strong a position as Balaklava, and as such the point d'appui of an army of operations. This army must now have arrived there ; it consits of the Egyptian division and of the best troops of Omer Pacha; and is commanded by the Turkish generalissim o . We have said that Eupatoria is to be to the north of Sebastopol what Balaklava is to the south. That fact will suffice to show in what a situation the dis embarkation of Omer Pacha will probably place the Russian army it will be placed between two fires. One of two things will happen ; either the Russian army will endeavour to crush the troops whose basis is at Eupa toria, with the certainty of being immediately attacked in the rear by the Anglo-French army ; and the de struction of the Russian army would deprive Sebasto pol of all hope of making a successful resistance ; or, in the second place, the Russian army, in order not to accept battle in such a disadvanta,cous position, and with such adverse chances, will retire from the banks of the Belbeck, as it has retired from the banks of the Tchernaya; will concentrate itself on Bakshi-Serai, or on Simpheropol ; and will abandon Sebastopol to its sole resources and to the chances of an assault. Such a re treat of the Russian army would, in fact, be immediately followed by the complete investment of the place, and the denouement would not be waited for long. Thus, either a great and decisive battle in the most favourable conditions for the Allies 'or the r e ti rement of the Russians without c om b a t, and Le immediate assault of Sebasto pol—such was the situation of things in the Crimea at the end of the year. Let us be certain that the year 1855 will have well commenced for the arms of France and her allies. TDB FRENCH LOAN. (Prom the Pays.) We were not long since offering up our prayers that a solidarity of national interests might strengthen the union which a mutual sympathy and community of poli tical interests have cemented between France and Great Britain. We explained the great influence which a loan, contracted in common, could exercise on the alliance which henceforward unites the two governments and the two nations, and which guarantees the independence of modern states. That financial solidarity which it would have been difficult to effect by the text of a law, is being established and strengthened by a striking fact. The national loan is received in England with a remarkable eagerness. The subscriptions flow rapidly into the great banking-houses whioh have given notice of receiving money for the purpose, and it may be affirmed without fear that one half of the loan will be subscribed for by English capitalists. Without doubt, our national pa triotism had 110 need of that auxiliary. Tho 500 millions required aro not too much for either the resources or the devotedness of the country. It is sufficient to behold the crowds which hasten to subscribe to be certain that all classes of society are responding to the appeal made to then), and are thereby giving a new testimo n y of confidence and a dh es i on to the imperial policy. But, although unnecessary, the co•operation of English capital is not less an act of high importance, making a s;gnificant progress in the relations of the two nations. Hitherto the hi g h est capitalists had invested in our funds with a certain timidity, and railways had solely, during some time, att racte d t h e capital of England. But that capital had soon a ithdrawn, particularly its the first months of 1552, the period which English holders had in general sold out the securities which they possessed in France. At:present that reserve, and perhaps that dis trust, have given way to a much more attractive senti ment. England, united to ns on diplomatic ground and on the battle-field, also wishes to contribute to the pro gress of our public credit, and subscribes to our national loan with au enthusiasm equal to that of our own popu lations. We do not conceal the satisfaction which this associatio n of the financial forces of the two countries causes us. The solidarity of material interests, when called into existence by solidarity of moral and political interests, is a firmer and more durable basis for an al liance than any mere diplomatic act could be." FRENCH POLITICAL REFUGEES IN SOUTHAMPTON. — On Tuesday an application for assistance was made to the magistrates by Mr. Murray, a lodging-house keeper in Southampton, on behalf of some French political refugees staying in his house, two of whom were then with him. They belonged to the party of the Reds en gaged in the affair of the 2d of December, 1851, and were transported for the part they took in it to Cayenne, where, by an amnesty, they had on account of good con duct been pardoned, on condition that they did not re turn to France. They went to Demerara, and thence were sent to England in the Atrato steamer, where, on their arrival in Southampton, those who had money pro , ceeded to London ; but five, one of whom was seriously ill, were in destitute circumstances, and detained here till they real ised sufficient means to enable them to pro ceed to London, where they expected to procure em ployment. The men looked upon themselves as martyry, declaring they bad fought for a good cause, and were ready to do so again, and disdained accepting parochial relief when it was required of them to break atones as a compensation. The five men were by trade a tailor, a painter, a baker, a plasterer and moulder, and an agri cultural labourer. The mayor informed them that the_. bench had no funds from which they could assist them,. but gave an order for the workhouse medical officer to attend to the necessities of the sick man. , Ihr: , 18f
