We can acquaint our readers this morning with a fact which will create no small astonishment, and which will give the public a new insight into the policy of Russia and the contingencies of the war. The Crimea, at pre sent the scene of hostilities, is a peninsula situated at the extreme south of the Russian empire, and connected, as our maps inform us, with the continental territory by the Isthmus of Perekop. Across this isthmus, as we have hitherto understood, all Russian troops must be marched to the relief of dish comrades before Sebastopol, and great stress has naturally been laid upon the expe diency of blockading or occupying this important pas sage. The isthmus itself is but a narrow strip of land, and is traversed by a wall of masonry from sea to sea. The only access to the peninsula is through an arched gateway in this wall, and thus, as we are informed by a note in one of the best and most recent maps of the coun try in question, the possession of this fortified line effectu ally closes the Crimea against an enemy. Now, at this moment "the enemy" advancing from the north is no other than Russia herself ; and if, therefore, the Isthmus of Perekop could bo occupied, the Crimea and its fort resses would be at the mercy of the Allies on the single condition of dealing satisfactorily with the Russians actually in Sebastopol or the viciuity. No further re inforcements could be brought up. The Crimea would be " invested " far more completely than Sebastopol it self, and the whole peninsula, rather than the principal town, would be in a state of siege. Such has been hitherto the prevailing belief, and various plans have been accordingly suggested for bringing to pass a result so desirable. Turks were to be landed at Perekop and put in possession of the line ; gun-boats were to be sta tioned along the shore ; and, altogether, it was argued that a pass so easy both to occupy and defend might be made our own with great advantage to the allied cause. Even if we could not absolutely keep out the Russians, we should, at-any rate, be accurately informed of their coming, and could certify the etrongth of each rainfaren ment, and the time of its approach, for the benefit of Lord Raglan's army. Why these schemes were never carried out it is unnecessary at present to inquire. What we now wish to tell the public is, that th e y wou ld, one an d a ll, have been perfectly useless, for that the Russian Go vernment had some time back constructed across the shallows of the Putrid Sea another great military road to the Crimea, so effectually that it is actually the better road of the two, and so quietly that Western Europe never heard a word about the matter. if the reader Vl il l take any ordinary map of the Cri mea he will see that to the east of the isthmus of Pere kop there extends a species of narrow inland lake, known as the Putrid Sea, which is separated from the Sea of Asoff by a curious dike -like strip of land, running up from the eastern corner of the Crimea, and almost, but not quite, touching the Russian continent at a point called the Straits of Genisch. It is possible for troops advancing into the Crimea from the interior of the empire to leave the isthmus of Perekop, in their rear, to march along the coast of the Putrid Sea, to cross the Straits of Genitsch, and then, by toil ing along the whole length of the dikelike strip above mentioned, called the Isthmus of Araba, to enter the Crimea a few miles north of Kaffa. This route was actually taken by a Russian General in the last cen tury, and it still forms a commercial road between the eastern parts of the Crimea and the continent. Some nine or ten years ago, however, a road was commenced, upon bridges and viaducts, across the Putrid Sea it self, and was completed, we believe, a considerable time before the outbreak of the present war. At what points the communication between the two shores has been effected we cannot precisely say ; but they approach each other so closely in many places, and the whole sea, besides being narrow, is so f u ll o f shoals and shallows, that many facilities for the undertaking were no doubt discovered. According to the information we have acquired, foundations were probably laid at favourable points of the shoals, and bridges then carried from one point to an other, till the communication was complete. The road itself, now that it is inished, is said to be the best road available for the passage of troops and stores from Rus sia to the Crimea. For troops moving; from Odessa we imagine that the Perekop route would be preferable, but for reinforcements arriving from the south-east of the empire and the country of the Cossacks the route across the shallows would be more convenient. In this case the distance between Simpheropol and the interior would be much shortened, and it is mot improbable that both routes may have beau recently employed when it was de sired to surprise the allies with an overwhelming superi ority of force suddenly brought up. Altogether, the fact thus tardily disclosed, in the filth month of our oc cupation, bears signal and striking testimony both to the preparations of the Russian Government for the con tingency of war in the Crimea, and to the amount of knowledge we may yet have to acquire upon this and similar subjects.--1 loses. CONDUCT OF THE WAR. The information from the Allied camp before Sebas topol, respecting the, condition and achievements of the besieging army, is ample and accurate. But the reports relating to the Russian forces from that quarter are sin gularly incorrect. Nothing appears to be known in the French or English camps of the numbers of the enemy opposed to them, or of the generals by whom they are commanded. This might pass without notice in the great body of the soldiery (officers and privates), and the hangers on of the camp ; but it is certain that the Commander-in-Chief has been left almost as entirely in the dark on these heads as the youngest drummer boy in his army. On the morning of the sth of Nov. Lord Raglan was entirely unacquainted with the tremendous effort by which the Russian division, whose arrival encou raged Menschikoff to attack the position of Inkerman, had been brought up from the north. Yet the dislocation of Russian troops by which this movement was effected was the common tak of the diplomatic circles in Berlin —and some other German courts — almost as soon as it began to be made. That Menschikoff had written a vaunting letter to the Emperor as early as tha 25th of October, stating that ho had now as strong a force as he desired, and that in ten or twelve days he would com pel the Allies to re-embark under every disadvantage, was known at Berlin early enough to have admitted of the intelligence being transmitted to Lord Raglan, by telegraph and express, in sufficient time to put him upon him guard. Why was not this done by Lard Bloomfield Y It is the duty of our ambassadors at foreign courts to communicate all important news to each other. If this information had been despatched to Lord Stafford de Redeliffe, there can be no doubt that it would have immediately been forwarded to the Crimea. Did Lord Bloomfield keep , the Foreign Secretary in igno rance as well as our Minister at Constantinople, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Crimean Army ? Or did the Duke of Newcastle, after he had received the icfonnation for the Foreign-office, coolly wait till the course of time should declare the results of the Rus sian movements, without eveu attempting to forewarn Lord Raglan of what was impending ? The blame of the omission rests between the Minister of War, the Foreign Secretary, and our Ambassador at Berlin. One or all of guilty of a gross neglect of duty. ters, who a re more es p ec i a lly c h arge d them Iu t i c h u a r v m e i b n cle s n with the management of the war, and our collective di plomacy, seem to give themselves wondrous little trouble about this same army that we have in the Crimea. We do not mean to recur at pre sen t t o th e ex t en t to w hi c h the cart of providing comforts and even necessaries for the army has been left to non-official and individual enterprise ; we speak of the utter and wanton neglect of the most common precautions to keep our Comman ders in the Crimea informed of the number and na ture of the forces opposed to them. What was known at Berlin of the movements of the Russian army prior to the surprise of Inkerman was known at Vienna, and Lord Westmoreland appears to have been as dilatory in forwarding the information to head quarters as Lord Bloomfield. Again, our Ambassador at Constantinople is (or ought to be) in constant com munication with our consular and other agents in Tur key and on the Black Sea. Has any attempt been made to turn the sources of information to which those gentle men have access to account in the way of procuring in formation respecting the movements of Russian troops ? Divisions of armies cannot be marched across extensive tracts of country with the same secresy as a few bales of silks or chests of tea are smuggled. The process of collecting stores of provisions and the m eans o f transport occasions a commotion which extends over a wide circle. Yet the march of Russian troops to the Crimea, from the frontiers of Moldavia, escaped the notice of all our well paid English agents in the Eaet. From not one of these worthies does Lord Raglan appear to have re ceived a hint of what was hanging over him. In short, for all the trouble our War Department, or our numerous consular and diplomatic agencies abroad have given themselves, the British army, after its land ing in the Crimea, has been left is find out for itself where the enemy was, and what its force amounted to. The Commander-ia-Chief received as few useful com munications from home as he had b een f rozen up, l i ke poor Franklin, in the Archc regions, with an indolent pick-tooth Admiralty resisting all entr ea ti es t o open a communication with him. This is in keepir g with the whole conduct of the War Department. It has sent out men to the East, it has sent out stores of all kinds, and as soon as they were fairly out of sight of the British coast, it has washed its hands of all further care of them. If the men and stores realiefl their destination well and good ; if not, Allah, Rertm, the depart men t s h rugge d its shoulders and said it was a pity. Wu hear much of 'M ussulman indolence and apathy : there are Turks in Dowining-street, whom we will back, in this respect, against the most engrained Paella of the old school. Mr. Lindsay, in his late speech at Newcastle, probed this administrative plague sore to the bottom in a few pregnant words If a French merchant had oc casion to send a message by telegraph to his Minister at War, requesting to know for instance, what goods were to be shipped in a certain vessel, there w as an answ er an answer in a week, before an answer was by the same rapid medium by 4 . o'clock i n th e a f ternoon . Y . , much nearer, the ant lt sometimes if my probabilityoe t u tmw w ea r ss o fi t y e voe t ti o ww t eo h e u e k IsdAe noti d ap ni s i eg r d i e d t t returned. This was not the fault of the men , b u t o f the system ; there was no responsible head, responsible Early this morning a reconnaissance was made by two regiments of Highlanders and the left wing of the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade (which wing is attached to the forces under the command of General Sir C. Campbell), together with a French division, consisting of two regi ments of cavalry and one brigade of infantry, with six pieces of artillery, under the command of General Maurice. The whole were under the command of Sir Colin Camp bell. The French portion of the reconnaissance assem bled opposite the village Kadakoi, and marched across the plain in the front of that village, in the direction of the Tchernaya and Baidar rivers. The English moved along the heights in front of our position, towards the Baidar pass. This allowed the latter to watch the movements of the French, and had anything serious occurred they might have marched down to their assistance. The French succeeded in driving the C . ossacks and Russians frorntheir advanced position, setting fire to their huts, and driving them back to their main body, but this was not accomplished with out some little difficulty and obstinacy on the part of the Cossacks, who, contrary to the general rule, stood their ground with bravery. They fired a few pieces of artillery, and one Cossack ran a Frenchman through the body with his lance. The French in this affray lost 13 killed and wounded. The village of Chergoon was set on fire ; but, unfortunately, only 12 houses were burned. The French, however, burned the whole of the huts occupied by the enemy in the position they retired from. If no other good was accomplished the enemy had a comfortless night, as the snow fell heavily during the night. It was expected the French would have re mained out all night, but - after dusk they returned to quarters. The Russians remained on the alert, and were observed in motion from the hills. Col. Gordon, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, headquarters, accom panied the party. The Queen of South, steamer, with 250, the Tyno mouth, steamer, with 300, and the Harbinger, steamer, with 80 sick, sailed this day for Scutari The Emperor steamer had also sailed ,for Eupatoria for cattle and bat-horses. The Jasoa steamer has sailed for Constantinople, where she will coal, and afterwards proceed to Varna to embark Turkish troops, and convey them to Eupa toria, to strengthen that garrison. Eupatoria is a town of great service to- is. We re ceive a good supply of bAt-horses, and a great number of cattle for the troops from the natives there. English gold will do anything. The Thames steamer has taken a few sick to Scutari, and, after coaling, will proceed to Varna to convey Turkish troops to Eupatoria. The City of London steamer, which arrived on the 28th December, brought 232 bullocks, 50 horses, and 450 pack saddles. Tlie steamer Hetton, from England, has also arrived with 80 huts, 85 stoves, and a quantity of wood for butting. The Magdalena, besides the 13th RegiMent, of 850 strong, brought 40 tons of , warm clothing and some ball cartridge. The siege operations arc nearly at a staid-still-;- quite so on the part of the British. Last night a very heavy fire was kept up by the enemy, but reports of this morning state "nothing more than usual happened." On the 26th, great numbers of men were observed to march down from the Fort Sanverem, in Sebastopol, to the water-side, and were conveyed over the harbour to the north side in boats, the boats returning empty. The enemy have erected a small battery of fur guns oppo site to Gordon's Hill, and have posted sentries in ad vance. DECEMBER 31. The enemy, after the ecconnaiBsance of yesterday, assembled in fo - rce this morning, and seemed inclined to face the allies. They shelled our working party in the trenches last night. The &gilt was clear and moonlight, and every move on the part of the British was easily seen by them. So sharp did the shot and shell come from their batteries that our men were compelled to withdraw the working parties. One man of the Light Division had his leg blown off. A great cry is now made for want of fresh meat for the troops. Scurvy has made its appearance, and only about once or twice a month do the troops obtain fresh food. Sir Edmund Lyons said the other day that nothing was more easy than to procure cattle from the different ports along the Asiatic and European coasts of the Black Sea. Upon a question being put by Sir Edmund Lyons to Lord Raglan the other day, as to whether he was prepared to give 6d. or even Is. per lb. for meat, his lordship answered, " Yes ; even Is. ed., sooner than the men should want fresh meat." He added "that the country did not mind what they paid, providing they could give good and wholesome food to the troops." According to the system of our commissariat, with the view to purchase cattle, it is necessary to send an officer of that department to collect, at a certain port, as many head of cattle as he possibly can, and then ship them to the Crimea, The French are quite different ; they send an officer, who proceeds in a small vessel to every creek and harbour, collects 10 here, 20 there, and so on, and returns in half the time, besides insuring the troops a supply of fresh meat regularly, If our present system is followed, and the troops have so much salt meat, scurvy will do as much this winter as the cholera did last summer. Already many are severely attacked, and every day increases the evil. The British commissariat at present are not much more than issuers—for this reason, all provisions are brought to the army from England, the cavalry are em ployed to carry it up from lialakla.va to divisions, the commissariat doing nothing more than issue it out. The correspondent of the limes, some time back, stated that nothing could exceed the regularity of our commissariat in its issues. Had the writer inquired of an individual soldier, and not trusted to what a com missariat officer stated, his tale would have been very different. Daily, now, are the men' without a bit of meat in some divisions—first in one and then in another, and there is no regularity whatever. The Europa, from Varna, with 66 soldiers and 180 horses, has arrived, together with g abio n s and timber. The ea Nymph, from Constantinople, with planking and miners' tools. No. 86, transport, Lady M'Naghten, is gone to the Gulf of Perekop for forage. We can even purchase at that place, although in the enemy's country —English gold does it all ; there is no resisting it. The harbour of Balaklava is crammed with shipping, bringing timber and warm clothing. JANUARY 1. I visited Balaklava this morning. Nothing can equal the confusion—the mass of consignments -of warn clothing, blankets, butting materials, stoves, charcoal, forage, barrels of beef and pork—all jumbled into line heterogeneous mass. A barrel of pork stands beside a bale of blankets here, and a stove beside hutting materials there, and so on. So rapid have been the arrivals, and so eager for disembarking, that the wharf and all around is like one vast storehouse, without form, fashion, or order. From the huts which have arrived the Quartermaster-General has determined to erect a few at Kadakoi as a receiving store, to ease the stores at Balaklava. The harbour is very small, and hence the confusion. The town does not afford a sufficiency of stowage for the immense mass of clothing and the hutting materials which arrive daily, As regards the former, as usual the roofing is on board one ship, the body of the hut on board another ; one vessel is here, the other God knows where. Boards and timber are being issued to regiments. Today each regiment has been authorised to draw 5,000 feet of sheeting, 100 pieces of scantling, and 100 pieces of rafters. This is for the purpose of the hospitals in camp. Officers and men are allowed roofing, &a., for walls of huts which they may have built, but the ques tion arises, how are they to get it up ! -Only by car rying► it up on their backs. Seine baggage horses have been landed lately, but still these are not sufficient. The general opinion is that we shall neither liana huts nor anything else before the cold weather sets in, and that cannot he long. If we had convey antes updo the camp all would be well, and we should relieve the har bour very much. There are four ships now in quest of baggage animals, and it is to be hoped they will soon return. Already a fearful number of men fall sick from exposure to cold. The British lose upwards of 300 by death every week, so that they bad need receive an extra regiment every fortnight. I must, however, ad mit that a great many of this number are wounded in action or in the trenches, Sir Edmund Lyons paid a visit to Lord Raglan yes terday morning, after his lordship and staff had at tended Divine service. The Turkish troops are employed in carrying gabions up to the trenches from Balaklava and from St. George's Monastery, where 200 of the Guards aro still employed under Lieut.-Col. Fordyce, Scots Fusilier Guards. The French are actively engaged in digging holes in the ground, over which their small tents are fitted very THE BLACK SEA. FLEET. DECEMBER 28.—As I wrote to you in my last letter, Admiral Dundas has gone, and Sir Edmund Lyons is now senior officer of the station. According to the etiquette of the service he is not supposed to assume the command in chief until his predecessor has quitted the limits of the station. The usual way is to fix a certain epoch, and this will be, I hear, in the present instance, the let of January. In the meantime, the vessels have already exchanged the white for the red ensign. The Admiral's flag is still flying on the Agamemnon. It seems as if the Admiral was inseparable from his favourite, for several nights of heavy weather which we had again on the 22d and 23d have so much wrung the rudder of the Royal Albert that there was some talk of sending her, as well as the Algiers, to Constantinople to have the damages repaired, but the Admiral's energy prevented this, and the rudders have been taken out and are being repaired on the spot. The Naval Brigade on shore has receive:l a consider. able addition. The Stromboli brought from Constanti nople 400 sailors, 230 from the Queen and 170 from the London. They have been sent to 13.1.klava un boArd the Sanspareil, and are to be employed, in the fire` in stance at lea-t, to carry provisions to their comradet, in the camp. There are now 1,130 sailors in front anti 170 in the batteries near Balaklava ; and for all this number there are only 10 horses and mules to convey provisions to them. Those, of course, who are in the batteries near Balaklava can easily come down for their provisions, as the distance is scarcely a mile ; but 10 mules are only sufficient to carry up about one-half of the daily rations which are required for the sailors' camp in front. Tl►e newly-arrived sailors will therefore be employed in forming a depot in the camp of the Naval Brigade. They will be divided into two lots, each of which will have to go up every alternate day. The men are ready to do anything, although they would like best to be in the batteries ; but it will be rather hard work for them, as sailors are usually not first-rate pedestrians, and a walk of 12 miles—six to and six back from the camp —with a bag of biscuit or a keg of rum on one's back, would be no easy matter for the best pedestrian, espe cially if the roads, as in the present instance, are covered, on an average, with six inches of mud of so peculiarly tenacious a character that at every step the foot carries with it a mass of earth covering the extent of a small German principality. As soon as a small store is laid in at the camp these 400 sailors will likewise go to the batteries, where they will have again to handle their darling heavy guns. It is ludicrous what a contempt Jack has for small guns, which he can handle like a toy. When the Naval Brigade was first sent on shore there was much more sickness among them than in the army at that time ; now the reverse is the case. Out of 1,130 men who are in front, there are scarcely ever more than half a-dozen in hospital ; they have got accustomed to that kind of life ; and, besides this, the diet of salt meat is nothing new to them. At first they ought to have got fresh provisions with the rest of the army, of whom they form a part at present ; but lately they have sent up fresh provisions, meat as well as vegetables, expressly for them. It would be only desirable that the supplies wero more frequent and less copious at a time, principally as regards vegetables, for the greater part of these latter rot before they reach their destination. The naval camp is chiefly conspicuous by the merry spirit of the men, and a more picturesque disorder than the rest of the camp. It seems to be a strange contra diction that 'men, half of whose lives passes in a constant process of cleansing, should distinguish themselves by the reverse, but so it is ; I suppose it is a morbid taste in which they indulge. ' ' ' The fleet - has received a valuable addition in the Dauntless, 33, screw, which arrived at Karatch on the 22d. The Sanspareil, I hear, will leave Balakla,va in a few days to go to England for repairs ; she is no great loss. The Niger has again returned, and looks in beautiful order. This morning the Admiral and m - everal of the captains went over to Balaklava i❑ the Wrangler to inspect things there, and to go up to head-quarters. I hope that the visit of the Admiral to Balakla.va will be attended with some good eflec!: on the port arrange ments of the place, which, notwithstanding the expe rience of several months, is as yet by no means such as could be desired. The Bellerophon has come down from Eupatoria to Karatch-bay, where she is to take in the mon whom she sent to the Naval Brigade, and then she will go down to the Bosphorus. THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE WAR. ISTHMUS OF PEREKOP AND THE PASS OF THE PUTRID SEA. We certainly have no right to identify the great American nation with the sentiments of their press, but yet it is impossible entirely to separate the two. Every leading newspaper in America, as well as in England, must represent and reflect a certain section of public opinion, or else it would cease to maintain its position, and sink into insig nificance. We do not pretend exactly to define the precise rank which the Netv York _Herald occupies among Transatlantic journals. We know that it is published in the first city of the Union, possesses a considerable circulation, and is con ducted with as much ability as is required for periodical literature in America. We see, also, that the sentiments of the New York Herald with regard to the present war are echoed from every quarter of the States, and we therefore make no apology for seriously calling the attention of a na tion united to us by so many ties to the libels on her character and her honour which every steamer brings to us from America in the shape of com ments and hopes with regard to the present state and future prospects of the war with Russia. The AmericaLs have frequently shown themselves acutely and even morbidly sensitive to European opinion, and can hardly view with indifference the very serious injury which the conductors of their press are daily inflicting upon them. Oar American contemporary is of opinion —first, that Russia has prevailed in the war hitherto ; secondly, that she will prevail in it ; and, thirdly, for the sake of the American Union, 'that it is desirable she should prevail ; and consequently it desires sincerely the triumph of Russia, and our humiliation. We will not waste time in arguing whether Russia, who finds herself compelled to accept o.nditions greatly inoro stringent than those to which a little while ago she would not even deign to return an answer, agrees with her republican apologists, and is either satisfied with the past or confident of the future. These are matters of opinion, and as such, however perverse and distorted, are no objects for censure. But we would gravely put it to the good sense of the American nation whether the success of Russia in the present struggle would really be to them that great material advantage which they aro taught to believe. It may be quite true that the Czar, being without a friend in this hemisphere, holds out, as the Herald phrases it, " the right hand of fellow ship" to the other ; that Russia - is the enemy of England ; and England, in an honourable and noble sense, a rival as well as coadjutor to the United States. The Czar may be prepared to tempt America, for aught we know, with commercial ad vantages. He may represent himself as ready to employ an American engineer to lay down an electric telegraph, to buy iron for railroads when ever he finds money to make them and cannot get iron from England, and to use American steam vessels, if by any means they can roach him through the blockade of the Allies. We may grant all these, and these are literally all the considerations which our contemporary can urge to support the monstrous proposition of a community of interests between the United States and Russia. The answer is not difficult. _ _ As to the employment of American citizens in Russia, the vast American continent itself offers so wide a field for enterprise and exertion that the wish of a patriot should rather be that the genius and in telligence of its inhabitants should continuo to be employed in subduing it to the purposes of man than that such valuable qualities should be at tracted to foreign lands. Let Scotland or Switzer land send out her sons in search of foreign gold. America has room upon her ample breast for all her children. As for supplying the Czar with American-built ships of war, as long as we remain masters of the sea it will be impossible, and when we have lost that mastery it will be superfluous. Railways and telegraphs are not the works of a nation unable to raise money by: loan, possessing double the population and half the revenue of the united kingdoms, at war with all the world, and driven to the utmost extremity to find supplies for every day as it passes by. The Herald talks of commerce, but commerce is between countries whose natural products are different, and not be tween those which, possessing so many natural fea tures in commen, are rather made by nature for competition than exchange. Russia is to take American iron. When ! During war, when the blockade will keep it out, or after peace, when the English iron will undersell it? There remains nothing, then, but the " kindly feelings" of the Czar to his Republican friends, and " the right hand of fellowship" which be proffers to their grasp, hot with the life-blood of Republican Poland and Democratic Hungary. But, further, if Russia wins, England loses in a much greater proportion, for it is far easier to de stroy than to transfer commercial prosperity, and Loudon might cease to be the mercantile capital of the world without transferring that honour either to St. Petersburg or to New York. The com merce of Russia would not be pure gain, but would be obtained at the expense of the commerce of England ; that is to say, America would exchange customers of boundless wealth for customers with out capital, obliged to borrow the very funds re quired to cultivate the ground—customers whose laws are equally administered for others with whom bribery sits barefaced on the judgment seat, —a land whose institutions are stable and fixed for a land which must pass one day from slavery to anarchy, and from anarchy to revolution. But, suppose the predictions of the Herald fulfilled, and its wishes gratified. Suppose united Europe too weak for the barbaric might of Russia, Turkey overwhelmed, Prussia absorbed, Austria mediatised, and France and England, if spared for a while, occupying towards the Czar a position such as Saxony, Wurtemberg, or Bavaria,—would such a state of things be beneficial to the United States ? Would they feel confident that they could ride out a storm in which so many gallant ships had been wrecked Would they be able single-handed to roll back a Power flushed with the conquest of so many valiant hosts, and so many ancient nations ? Would " the right hand of fellowship" be held out and the same kindly feeling be extended to them as that which now works so powerfully on Repub lican sensibilities ? Let them know themselves better. If ever the dream of universal monarchy should be realised again in Europe, and seek to realise itself in America, the state of the Union would irresistibly suggest to the fortunate despot the same game as Macedon employed towards Greece. What field for his energies could a King, master of countless armies and boundless treasures, desire better than 30 Republics, connected by a frail federal organisation, and separated by every motive of interest and passion that can agitate and pervert the human mind ? True, we may be told there is the generous feel ing of patriotism, the noble abhorrence of tyranny, the sympathy with right and justice, the repug nance to wrong and violence, which would weld these fragments into one compact mass, and teach every State to forget selfish and personal considerations is a manly struggle for the public good. Alas ! where is this spirit to be found ? Not, assuredly, in the pages of those of our American contemporaries who, without pretending to be able to justify the quarrel of. the Czar, or to controvert the verdict which the conscience of United Europe has recorded against him, cannot repress their as pirations for his success, because, base as are his ends and vile as are his means, they believe—as we have shown, most falsely and absurdly—that some cents of profit are to be gained by the over throw of all that is free and noble in Europe—the destruction of arts and learning, and the return of a deeper darkness than Goth or Vandal brought upon the Roman world. For they, at least, were superior in valour and virtue to the race which they conquered ; but Russia brings nothing with her to compensate for the ruin of the existing state of things. Her barbarism is more corrupt than our civilisation—her slavish hosts less valiant than our free citizens. Surely these things ought to weigh for something with a nation that boasts to be the asylum of free dom and the depository of the higher and nobler destinies of humanity. "It is not for gin-sling and sherry-cobbler alone that man is to live," says Sydney Smith, "but for those great principles against which no argument can be listened to, prin ciples which give to every power a double power above their functions and their offices, which are the books, the arts, the academies that teach, lift up, and nourish the world—principles (I am quite serious in what I say) above cash, superior to cot ton, higher than currency—without which it is better to die than to live."—Times. A HERO.—The following incident is related of a pri vate in the 82d Regiment, which left Edinburgh last week. A soldier's wife had come up from the country. Not without heroic exertions, probably, she had come possessed of money sufficient to purchase her husband's release ; and to buy him off was the object of her visit. The poor fellow looked with the intensest solicitude at his young wife and her only child, and his eyes filled ; but, brushing away a tear, he exclaimed that he could never bear to be branded as a coward by his companions, and to the East he must go.—Echnburg4 Courant. Ito the House of Commons, and through it to the country. Messages were sent from the Admiralty to the War-office, from the Ministry of War to the Ord nance, from the Ordnance to Deptford, and then came back to the source from which they originally pro ceeded." In short, we have a War Department only in name. The Ordnance, the Transport Service, the Com missariat, the Horse Guards, are as independent of one another—each as much bent upon doing everything for itself, without interference from the rest—as ever. The Minister at War may issue commands, but th,•'se subor• ciinate departments only obey then► if they like and as they like. For this scandalous state-of anarchy in the service many are, doubtless, muse or less to blame ; but the principal responsibility must rest upon him who undertook-to fuse them into a harmoniously working system, and has failed to do so. TLe Duke of New castle cannot have imagined that he could work his de partment without a staff ; and with what kind of a staff has he surrounded himself ? A glance at its com position will show that, with one exception, he has selected his subordinates, not from the War-office, but from the Colonial-office and the TreiAury. He is en deavouring to work in a field entirely new to him, with the assistance of men who know as little about it as himself. As for Mi. Siiney Herbert, no one can imagine why a Secretary at War has been left in the new arrangement, except to be in the way of the Minister at War.—Daily News.

The re; maining portion of the English huts, which for some tinio past have been lying at the Southampton Docks, are to be at once despatched by the screw transport Amity, 177, and the chartered steam-ship Rajah, be longing to the Peninsular and Oriental Company. There are in all 100 huts for the use of the officers , and 55 which are to be devoted to the accommodation of the privates. The Amity will convey about 80, and the Rajah the remainder. Should the latter vessel have any space remaining, after taking on board her portion of the wooden houses, she will be filled up with stores, &c., either at Southampton or Portsmouth. The Amity will leave for the Black Sea, if possible, to-morrow, and the Rajah on Thursday. The Loire, screw steam ship, chartered by Messrs. Crockford and Co., wine merchants, of St. James'-street, will leave Southamp ton Docks this morning with the following cargo of wines, spirits, &c., for sale among the army and navy in the Crimea and Black Sea :-2,510 cases of wines and spirits, in one and two dozen cases ; 1,171 quarter-casks, octaves and half-octaves, and a few hogs heads of wine ; 100 cases of Liserrits, 12 ditto oatmeal and groats, 20 ditto hams, 7 ditto tobacco, 30 firkins of tet r.r, and a large quantity of provisions. In addition to die above, the Messrs. Crockford have engaged to emnvey, fr ee o JchargP ' about 500 packages and parcels which are being forwarded by friends to various officers and 'nen engaged in the Crimea. There are also on board a large quantity of wire rope, trucks, and light pair -wheeled drays, for the more easy disposition of the goods on their arrival. Twelve horseloxes are ranged on deck, two of which will be used in the conveyance of ponies from Southampton, and the remainder will re ceive ten mules at Gibraltar. These are to be employed in the distribution of the wines, spirits, and provisions. Her Majesty's screw steamship Himalaya will go into the west dock of Southampton this morning, should there be sufficient water. Her steam has been up fir the purpose of testing her engines, which are now in an efficient state of repair. The General Screw Company's steamship Crcesus, 2,500 tons, which has been chartered by the English Government for the purpose of convey ing detachments from Portsmouth to the Crimea, will be removed from the large graving dock in the course of a week. Her hands are ordered to ship on Friday, and there is now no doubt that she will very shortly be ready for sea. ARRIVAL OP SICK AND WOUNDED. An express down train from London arrived at the Strood station of the North Kent Railway shortly after 3 p.m. yesterday, containing 25 detachments of regi ments serving in the Crimea. The whole of the de tachments are invalids, and owing to the number of dis abled soldiers—about 60 of them having lost their legs in the late engagements with the Russians at Alma and Inkorman, and others being unable to walk the Com• mandant of Chatham Garrison, Colonel Eden, had in .-eadiness a fatigue party of 50 men, with two serjeants, sn sder command of the Serjeant-Major of the garrison, wits' 15 stretchers from the medical department of the garriss'n ; and to see that every attention was given to them tbs.' Brigade -Major of the garrison, with Adjutant Band, of 1: .he Invalid Depot, and Staff-Surgeon Telfer, from Fort Pitt, superintended the removal of the in valids from the railway carria s ses to the conveyances which had been provided to take ahem to Fort Pitt for medical inapection. A large concourse of persons as sembled rowed the railway station to witness the removal of these brava invalids. There was ;see man carried ; he had lost boas his legs, and there was :another a mere skeleton. There - were several others in a v,ery bad state. The accommodatisin and arrangements were exceedingly good. There was iso time lost in removing the invalids Iron, the station to Vent Pitt, and on their art ival at the hospital there was a strong medical corps waiting to at tend, with Dr. Taylor, the chief medical officer. Upon medical inspection only 39 men were found in a -fit state to be sent to the Invalid Depot, St. Diary's-barracks, Brompton, and 104 were taken into the hospital--the whole requiring ,immediate medical attendance. The invalids belonged. to the following corps :--I.st Dragoons, and 4311 Dragoons, 11th Hussars, lath Light Dragoons, 17th Lancers, Ist Royals, 4th, 7th Fusileers, 9th, 39th, 234, 30th, 33d, 41st, 42d, 47th, .55th, 63d, 77tb.., 93d Highlanders, and 95th Re giments. The only officer in charge of the invalids was Assistant-Surgeon ~4 1 . G. M. Tyde, 58th Regiment. The invalid Grenadier, o.)oldstreatn, and Scots Fusileer Guards proceeded to London to join their respective headquarters, and the 1 loyal Artillery proceeded to Woolwich. The detachme 'its left Portsmouth at 8 a.m. on Monday, by the up train, they having disembarked from the steam-ship Avon.

PARIS Bouasu.—The last accounts from tit e • Paris Bourse yesterday show a fresh advance of a-half c ‘Fthree quarters per cent. At Vienna the unfavourable re action from the improvement recently caused by the com mencement of the peace negotiations still continuasa Tens POET.—The ancients were quite right in pro claiming that a poet must be born, not made. 'A. be sure, fitting culture and art education will make the best born poet better, since they supply the fine-totes pored implements of workmanship to the hands of genitals:. Yet, without a certain given material, all the educatioas is the world will never produce a poet. A due consi deration of what is essential to constitute the poet iN suited to deter many versifiers from wacting precious time in an unprofitable pursuit. Let us l'or a moment glance at some of the requisite qualities. Tho poet must have large perceptive powers, for they are the windows, as it were, through which he looks, and in a great measure determine his range of vision. Ile must possess the faculty which we call imagination, anal which is very compound in its constitution, and a vsrar Pro tens in its manifestations. At one time it is a ais rship of beauty, at another it is a suffering or rejoicing -sam pithy. Now it will see a deeper meaning in the hu'art of common things, and again it will light up the o'ull face of things with magical beauty. He must poseesss logical and analytical power, for the poet is the greatest logician, and leaps to his results by no mere guess. He must be the greatest master of common sense, for a poet was never yet an inspired fool. He must possess intense passions, for these, properly reined' and. guided, draw the car of genius up the immortal 'vaunt. His eye must be tremblingly alive to beauty, his ea r hunger ing for the melody ; indeed, ho must have tm'iat vehe ment passion for melody that buoys his speamch into song, his footsteps into tune, and makes lais life move in a melodious rhythm. But, above mall, ho must possess a warm, kindling, electrical ten tpera meat. This attribute of the poet we shomehl set above all others. Large heart and brain, .clear sight, and general breadth of nature, are indisPea gable. There never has been •a peat but in the pro portion that he has possessed these characteristics. S'wch have been the world's great singers. They were all th Vs gloriously endowed, who have had the magic to unlock the soueces of human smiles and tears, and send them thrill of sympatlav through the heart of universal human ity. In this senses Homer, Milton, Shakspeare, Dante, and Burns are putts. They are creators, seers, pro pbets, and singers.- —Eclectic Review, January, 1855.. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.—Last night tl2 , e usual monthly meeting of the members of this socieaa was held at their rooms, Lower Regent street. Mr. .Carr, V.P. occupied the chair. After the usual preliminaries had been disposed of, Mr. Woolrych read a paper oat summary convictions, in which he insisted on the propratity of giving the magistrates a summary power in cases of petty larceny, as the present system of sending them to quarter sessions for trial by jury was expensive to the prosecutor, injurious to the prisoner, and both expensive and injurious to the public, and its inconvenience often amounted to a denial of justice. Mr. Pulling agreed with nsost of the views propounded by Mr. Woolrych, and thought that a pub. mic prosecutor, who should have the supervision of all these cases from beginning to end, ought to be appointed. If that were to be the case, there could be no objec tion to giving the prisoner the choice a f tribunal. With these observations, he would move that the paper they had just heard read should be referred ao the com mittee on criminal laws. Mr. Elliott did ,sot think that a mere transfer of jurisdiction could .'ore tell e evil—the origin of which lay in the morbid and dim eas d , state of public feeling with regard to criminals' the • who thieved was actuated vengeance, Balsa • state of publlc feeling, which ignored %cure-nee,' pre- The Corinlanes, sailing transport, chartered by the vented one of the must healthy principles of eri.ll mat French Government, which has been for some weeks repression, Mr. Edgar said that they were not diecuse past in the Southampton docks, put out to the river ' in the origin of crime, but the best means of doeling yesterday morning, laden with huts for the use of the with it when committed. it was, lie thought. for the French soldiers in the Crimea.

The Cunard steam-ship Cambria arrived in the Mersey yesterday morning, having on board 213 rank and file, composed of sick and wounded from various regiments, 8 civil servants, 29 women, 8 children, and 8 horses. The officers are, Quartermaster Lilley, of the Grena dier Guards, who has charge of the invalids ; Captain Vialls, of the 95th ; Paymaster Wheatley, 42d ; Colonel Warren, 55th ; Hon. Captain Carnegie, R.N. ; Capt. Frere, R.N. ; Lieut. Aston, R.N. ; Staff Assistant- Surgeons A. W. Pinkerton and W. Gordon. The sick and wounded were taken on board the Cam bria at Malta, where they were transferred from the Ripon, which vessel had brought them from Constanti nople, where they embarked on the 29th of December. The Cambria left Malta on the 4th inst., passed her Majesty's ship Jean d'Acre on the 12th, off Lisbon, bound for the Crimea, with troops and stores on board, and arrived in the Mersey at an early hour yesterday morning. _ _ _ During the passage there was one death and one birth on board. The sick and wounded are from various regiments— Scots Fusilier Guards, cavalry, artillery, and regiments of the line. Some of them are much emaciated, while others look all the nobler for the hardships they have endured. They appear to have suffered chiefly from dfarrhe3a, though many bear evidence of the " hair breadth escapes" they have experienced. Some have their hands wrapped up ; ethers an arm in sling ; a third class hobble painfully on the deck. Not a few of these were wounded at Alma. One fine fellow, private Wal ters, of the Fusilier Guards, in reply to inquiries, stated that he had been invalided since the memorable 20th of September, when he sustained a severe wound on the heights of Alma. The sufferings of himself and his wounded comrades in the hospital at Scutari were dreadful. They lay seven days after the engage ment without receiving Burgin' assistance, there being only one surgeon on board, and he was among the wounded. He confirmed, also, the terrible accounts which have been so plentifully distributed, of their sufferings from the shortness of provisions. " But, thank God," continued the poor fellow, as large tears coursed slowly down his cheek, "thank God we've got back to a,country that will take care of us. We are all proud of our country, prouder of it than ever ; and are grateful for the kindness that has been shown us. Everything is very different now at Constantinople— plenty of good bedding, plenty of provisions, and every thing that's wanted." He further stated that they had all been as comfortable on the passage as they could ex pect ; that they had very much improved in health during the voyage ; and that he hoped the majority would soon be well. Two principal objects of attraction were the chargers belonging to Lord Cardigan. One, a powerful chestnut horse, carried the gallant earl safely through several engagements, the most memorable being the light ca valry charge at Exlaklava. At Malta the Cambria received on board from the Ripon the body of Brigadier-General Adams, who died at Scutari. The body has been . brought in a lead coffin.
