ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. - THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week EVENING, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC '' MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great lizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety tf incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects, ,__. l42 4iie and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos g distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of ' i nneetnent. It is not a monologue, for the audience them thee their parts with the principal actor, some of m on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the 'Yes of the visitors. no one can be positive that he sees any ° lle thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the corn liany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of t 4 ll e Public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex itavaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. f Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and a ellionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Zheatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he t . , -% been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for on e repetition. He believes that no professor of his art Pais at any time or in any place been honoured with an 4 ,, r oonnt ofnuccess so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. no would attribute that success to three causes ; first that la his p resent enterta i nment h e has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of Perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has 'Pared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on t he stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment that,'! the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those the honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that i t is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor 111'4 should not be neglected of exposing conjuring wher tver it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by t~ eQ rtiug to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, 8 designing have succeeded in making dupes of th ,, tredtilous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the the atre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst 111a11 3' of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has ee bltecl, Professor Anderson's exposé of spirit - rapping and h is illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro pileed a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex ree a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible or Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the . tl eranaunications which reach him on the subject. He regrets who many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen from their position in society and their well-known in ieilectual attainments, he would lst have expcted to have een converts to a belief so p e re a posterous nitself, and so t 4 " 11 5' susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every e rring , from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on 1 1i rit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within th • 'cum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited F 'ncl elucidated. It is respectfully requested that thi- I ll _b . lic exposition will be accepted generally as Professor 7 4 oclerson's only mode of replying at full length to his m ultitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the a loes of the great and learned of the land should Pa ve been made to figure •in the documents emanatine fr om the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem her 20 , and taken by that journal from the Yew Fork Spiri val Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spir it - rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster I TeltlY confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has .4, tnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly.,, nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought `.e whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the !elution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, s tbal hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits V bo t • hus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate lral objects about the room, proved to be too much of aues ':3 for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author o q f the ab ove,: has recently left England, and the following account of .4, "Lie, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: • This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now M. Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestat i o ns Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout d 6 Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 ollars per annum if lie would perform at his museum in New Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in Lounou otm r i s end honestly remarked, that the money would have been very a cceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or l'oan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose Ills life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Be inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the ereatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is 44 . e of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly 6 surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the ',editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom leight be supposed to he sane. Even if Barnum does believc spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by t▪ his accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse went to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likell -° be negoti a t e d ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; " l it, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of E ngland have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross Iswindle, wh e n he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the ev - N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and motes 1 a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for it is to st a t e th a t w hi c h h e knows of the mechanism by which is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the —l°D n'ing Advertiser of October 3 appears a l e tter from Sir D avid ; Brew s t e r, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel. „, 41 ,erapany with Lord Brougham. He distinctly st a t es that "" , eli the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that sPirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad Purposes. In the Llfarning Advertiser of the following day h °,wever there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one ... 11 '° Was present when he and Lord Brougham bad their da nce with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most ext raordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac erdion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and th en . to Lord B ro u g ham's, in which, held by his lordship's - Light hand, apart from any person, it played an air through- With such a statement, printed for the edification of ,',"e People of the 19th century, with the facts before us that 0 most talented men of the day are permitting themselves ." `o be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the treatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" - "as actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, pr ofessor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual J e g2',lers. In the course o f the last fi v e weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, t han has ever before been assembled within its walls in so nort a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even 4asg, the p rogra mme being continually changed.

We regard with admiration the liberal and enlight ened policy with which your Majesty, in the earnest de sire to promote the happiness and welfare of your sub jects, with a noble confidence in their love and gratitude, has voluntarily bestowed upon your people the ines timable gift of a free government. We have seen your Majesty with true magnanimity, worthy of all imitation, unite your arms with those of the Western Powers to vindicate the independence of Euripe, and to maintain the integrity of the Turkish Empire against the attacks of its powerful and aggres sive neighbour. We have witnessed with the liveliest satisfaction the efficient services in the field of battle of your valiant army, side by side with the victorious troops of our illus trious ally the Emperor of the French, and of our be loved Queen, achieving a glorious triumph, and proving themselves the worthy soldiers of the sovereign who has himself fought and bled in their ranks in the cause of Italian liberty. In the prosecution of this just and righteous cause we humbly rely upon the blessing of the Lord of Hosts to crown the successes of the Allies with an honourable and lasting peace, and we pray that your Majesty may long be spared to accomplish your high destiny, and to reign over a free, prosperous, and happy people.

His Majesty's suite occupied four state carriages. A numerous detachment of Life Guards formed the escort. As the King entered his carriage the band of the Foot Guards on duty with the guard of honour commenced the Sardinian National Air, and con tinued playing until his Majesty had quitted the quadrangle of the Palace. The King, on leaving Guildhall, honoured Vis count and Viscountess Palmerston with a visit at their residence on Piccadilly-terrace, and after wards proceeded to the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, returned by a special train to Windsor, and arrived at the Castle, attended by his noblemen and gentlemen in wait ing, at twenty minutes before five o'clock p.m. The Queen gave a dinner in the evening in St. George's ball, to the following distinguished party : —The King of Sardinia, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Royal, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, and the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Lord Chancellor and Lady Cranworth, the Duke and Duchess of Wel lington, the Sardinian Minister, the Turkish Mi nister and Madame Musurus, the Marquises of Breadalbane and Abercorn, the Earl of Harrowby, Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, Lady Caroline Murray, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl and Countess Spencer, the Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earls of Clarendon, Lucan, Malmes bury, and Aberdeen, the Rev.

Min uetto—lphigerae Polonaise—Faust° ............. . March—Oberon Mozart. Overture—ll Seraglio of events that we reflect upon the unbroken success which has proved the superior power and bravery of the Allied armies and fleets, supported as they have been under al most incredible privations, by a lofty sense of the right eous cause in which ,they are engaged, and in which the arms of Sardinia have borne so generous a part. Our most gracious Sovereign and her illustrious Allies, undazzled by the splendour of repeated triumphs, and the continued progress of victory, seek no more than to vindicate the rights of nations, and secure a lasting and honourable peace. In the contest for this high purpose, our beloved Queen, acting in concert with her allies, may firmly rely upon the strongest and most cheerful efforts of the loyal citizens of London and of all her people, united as th e y are in duty and affection to her Majesty's person and government, and in a determination to defend the cause of national independence, and of civiland religious liberty. His Majesty replied as follows : MY LORD MAYOR, I offer my heartfelt thanks to you, to the Aldermen, and to the Commons of the City of Landon, for the cor dial congratulations which you present to me on the occasion of my visit to her Majesty the Queen, and to the British nation. The reception that I met with in this ancient land of csastitutional liberty, of which your address is a confir ftraEl•on, is to me a proof of the sympathy inspired by the policy I have hitherto pursued, a policy in which it is mli aitention constantly to persevere. T e cloFe alliance existing between the two most powerful nations of the earth, is honourable alike to the wisdom of the Sovereigns who govern them, and to the character of their people. They have under stood how preferable is a mutually advantageous friend ship to ancient and ill defined rivalry. This alliance is a new fact in history, and is the triumph ,of civilisation. Notwithstanding the misfor tunes whiah have weighed upon my kingdom, I have entered info t hnr alliance, - becau - sether llousent4llVtry ever deemed it to bo its duty to draw the sword when the combat was for justice and for independence. If the forces which I bring to the Allies are those of a State not vast, I bring with them, nevertheless, the influence of a loyalty never doubted, and supported by the valour of an army always faithful to the banners of its Kings. We cannot lay down our arms until an honourable, and therefore durable, peace, has been secured. This we shall accomplish by seeking unanimously the triumph of true right, and the just desires of each nation. I thank you for the gond wishes you this day express for my future happiness, and for that of my kingdom. While you thus express yourselves with respect to the future, it gives me pleasure to speak of the present, and to congratulate you on the high position attained by Great Britain. This is to be attributed to the free and noble character of the nation, and also to the virtues of your Queen. The following remarks by our contemporary, the Morning Herald, will sufficiently explain the reason why we were unable to procure a copy of the Cor poration address and the King of Sardinia's reply in time for our first edition of yesterday : " A person from the office of the Town Clerk, who had previously, as is customary on these occasions, in formed the gentlemen of the press that copies of the ad dress and reply would be given to them—brought to the reporters one copy of the address, with the manuscript of the King's speech. The latter was written in the King's hand, and, as is usually the case with such Royal documents, was exceedingly difficult to decipher. Fear ful of making some mistake, the gentlemen of the press asked for the fair copies, which had been promised to them before the speech was made, when the individual we have before referred to said it "was a matter of great courtesy that we were allowed to look at the address at all. The corporation had given us tickets to enable us to report the proceedings, and we ought to havedone so, and taken a note of the speech." This offensive and ridicu lous remark (for reporting a speech delivered rapidly in a foreign language was of course impossible) was fol lowed by others equally uncalled for, and the gentlemen of the press were on the poiut of leaving the hall when the higher officers of the corporation interfered, and after considerable lapse of time the kind intervention of the Lord Mayor, to whom our warmest thanks are due, eventually procured copies of the address and the reply of the King." DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF SARDINIA. His Majesty and suite, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, aro expected to leave Windsor at 5.0 a.m. ou Thursday morning, the 6th, arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms Station at 6.0 a.m. The Royal special train will leave the Bricklayers' Arms station at 6.0 a.m., performing the journey to Folkestone-harbour as under : Bricklayers' Arms station 6 a.m., New Cross 6.5, Forest Hill 6.9, Sydenham 6.11, Anerley 6.13, Norwood 6.14, Croydon 6.16, stoat's Nest 6.22, Mersthaui 0.23, Red Hill 6.31, Godstone,,O.A.Q.

In the event -of the royal special being five minutes in excess of the time allowed for the running between any two stations, the light engine following will be permitted to proceed after it with the greatest caution. 2. Platelayers, provided with the requisite sig nals, will be stationed at different parts on the line, particularly at level and occupation crossings, facing, and other points, to keep the line clear, and signal the train forward. 3. Bricklayers' Arms will telegraph the departure of the ropal special to all down stations ; so that in case it does not start to its fixed time, the respec tive station -masters may, by reference to its rate of speed, as shown in the above table, be enabled to ascertain when it will pass their station. 4. The royal train will be telegraphed from sta tion to stat ion i n th e or di nar y manner , subject, however, to the special arrangements in that de partment which will be made on the occasion by the telegraph superintendent. 5.

The guards appointed to work the Royal trains are Jones and Joy. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, as sisted by Mr. Brent, deputy-coroner, resumed at the Beaumont Arms, Shepherd's-bush, the investigation touching the death of John Moore, a breaksman, aged 41, late in the service of the London and North Western Railway Company, who was killed in a collision which took place at the Harlesien-bridge junction of the Great Western Railway, under circumstances already briefly detailed. The inquiry caused considerable sensation, and a number of gentlemen attended on behalf of the two companies. Messrs. Parker and Hives, solicitors, likewise watched the proceedings on, he part of the North-Western Company, and Mr. Herring appeared at the initanee of the Great Western Company on behalf of Bennett, a policeman on the railway, whose conduct was seriously mixed up in the melancholy transaction. It appeared that at Harlesden-bridge the Great West ern rails are crossed on the level by the London and North-Western. On the morning of the collision the line of the Great Western was signalled as clear for the Rissage of a coal train along the London and North- Western across the metals of the Great Western Com pany. At the time the signal was clear, the danger signals were put on to prevent any trains passing along the Great Western line until the coal train had, gone across. These signals, it was stated, ought to have been seen by Bennett, who was stationed in the Acton cutting, so as to have enabled him to stop a goods train which came up at the time towards Paddington. Ben nett, however, according to the evidence of the engine drivers of the goods train, showed the white (or safety) instead of the " danger" signal, and when at last they caught sight of one of the danger signals it was too late. They could not stop the train in time to avoid a colli sion, and the two trains met at the crossing. The goods train was about five hours late, having been due at Pad dington at 1.10 a.m. In answer to the coroner, Mr. Herring said he did not intend to place his client under examination. The Coroner then remarked that the whole inquiry turned upon the conduct of three persons, viz., Ben nett, signal man, and Collins and Brown, the engine drivers. After some further discussion, the jury deli berated alone for half-an-hour, at the expiration of which period the Coroner stated that the jury had agreed to a further adjournment, in order that they might have the benefit of some practical disinterested gentleman's experience in the matter, and at the same time the jury hoped that before the next meeting the directors of the two companies would take the dangerous state of the Harlesden junction into their serious consideration. THE ADDRESS OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, desire to offer to your Majesty our grateful congratulations on your Majesty's arrival in this country, as the honoured guest of our beloved and most gracious Queen i • and on behalf of our fellow citizens , and for ourselves, we humbly tender to your Majesty the warmest expression of our gratitude for the welcome visit to our city, with which you have deigned to honour us this day.

" With reference to General Order No. 1, of the 13th October, it is notified that the clasp for Sebastopol is to be wanted to all who have been present with the army between the Ist of October, 1854 —the day on which the army sat down before the town—and the 9th of Septem ber, 1855, the day cn which the taws was taken. Sup plementary nominal lists of the officers and men entitled to receive it will therefore be immediately prepared in duplicate and forwarded to the chief of the staff, on cr before the sth of December, for transmission to Eng land."

OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. The following successful operation has been announced to the troops : " Head-quarters, Sebastopol, Nov. 19. "The Commander of the Forces has great pleasure in informing the army, that the flotilla of gun-boats is the Sea of Azoff has succeeded in destroying six rows of corn stacks, two miles long, near Gheisk, on that sea. The enemy had collected this store to take across the ice in the winter. The defence of them was attempted by about 3,000 Russian troops, which, however, were kept at a distance by the gun-boats, whilst the exertions of the Royal navy, with rockets and carcases, destroyed the ricks by fire."

Times of this day.) %, • 14 4 A -*) In war moral influences are even more impor tant than material. A beaten army, though its 'Ai numbers may only have been diminished byte fifteenth or twentieth part, cannot properly be re presented as the army before the defeat minus those who have perished in action. It is another and a different army ; it has lost its identity, it is terri fied at dangers which it would have despised, and cowed out of the confidence which it once felt in its own bravery and discipline. On the other hand, a victorious army is twice itself ; its difficulties, its dangers, its despondencies are forgotten, and it goes forward in the confidence that its past suc cesses are only the preludes to future triumphs. These are not merely abstract truths, but are the principles ou which every great General in ancient or modern times has avowedly acted. It was not Cesar alone who delighted to urge on his success and press upon the favour of Fortune • the same was the maxim of Hannibal and Napo poleon, of Marlboroug h anti of W e lli ng t on . When the allies threw themselves on the shores of the Crimea they undertook a difficult and dangerous enterprise, but one which, if success ful, must have the greatest material and moral effects. They attacked a fortress which they could not invest, and by so doing challenged the whole force of the empire of Russia to meet them in nar row lists behind enormous fortifications, and to avert, if they could, the destruction of the strong hold Russia had built for the subjugation of the East. But in proportion to the mag nitude of the enterprise was sure to be the moral efect of its sUC• cessful termination. The success of the Bth of Sep tember was something better than a surprise ; it was a victory gained in despite of all the power that an empire boasting a million of men under arms could put forth to prevent it. It was a clear proof of superior strength—it was au undeniable demonstration of the ascendancy of the allies. Let even the least imaginative of our readers compare the feelings of the Russian troops as, by the light of their blazing town and to the sound of their exploding forts and magazines, they crossed over a' precarious bridge which ksingle chance shell, -might let any moment h*areleff-ketantee, leaving behind them their wounded, •six thousand cannon, enormous stores of ammunition and provi sions, their splendid arsenal, their beautiful dock , , tho city which so many of the best and bravest of their comrades had died to defend, and, above all, the great name and world-wide reputation of Rus sia ;—let any one, we say, compare the feelings of these men with those of the allies, placed, by a success at the rapidity and decisiveness of which they themselves were astounded, in possession of:a prize so long sought and so dearly earned ; and let him then judge whether the relative force of ~he two armies could fairly be computed by their respective numbers, or whether the victorious had not gained a moral superiority over the van quished which no arithmetical statement could adequately represent. Who was there who did not expect, as soon as the news of that mighty overthrow reached him, that the glorious opportunity would be seized to follow up this blow by another, and efface present success in the brightness of future exploits ? Never was there a more commanding situation. The allied armies were flushed with victory, in high health, and pos• sessed, in their enormous fleet now set at liberty, the means of moving with speed and secrecy to any part of the coast which they might think proper to occupy. Kaffa, and Arabat seemed only to await the advent of the conqueror, and the communica tion from Simpheropol to Perekop seemed open to their attack in its whole extent. Opportunity called them trumpet-tongued to action. The very seasons fought for them, and two months and a half of the calmest and most beautiful weather that can be imagined invited them to commence and complete a new and glorious campaign before the coining of winter. They had just achieved a victory at which the world stood amazed, and in comparison with which everything else seemed easy of accomplish ment. i What has been done with this splendid army and this glorious situation—these elements of triumph, these materials of almost certain success ? Let us see. Omer Pasha has been sent to Asia to rouse Christian populations against Christian Russia, without a single brigade of the allied troops to bear him company, and counteract the prejudice of the inhabitants against the Turks. Yet, even so, his success has been far greater than anything achieved by the allies. Kinbourn has been taken, but no atterrpt has been made to ad vance from the basis of operations thus obtained upon Cherson or Nicolaieff. From Eupatoria, place fortified with so much care and cost as if for the express purpose of throwing ourselves upon the communications of the Russian army, the opera tions of the allies have been ludicrously ineffective and inidequate. After one sharp cavalry action, in which just enough was done to show how much eeeee west posnil.le, t.bn oiling have oontonted them selves with advancing towards the Russian posi tion three or four times, and then returning by the way they came without honour and without loss. Equally energetic has been the conduct of the main army. It has walked into defiles and fastnesses only to walk out of them again, and after a series of objectless manceuvres finds itself, after a wilful waste of ten invaluable weeks, just where it was when the IVlalakhoff fell into its power. The Russian communications are not interrupted, and they are left, by a force of 200,000 men and a fleet of unexampled strength, to make their preparations as best they may against the coming of the winter—the only enemy they have to dread, and the rigours of which are happily not under our control. Meanwhile our fleet is coming home ; our marines—a force fully equal to any we possess—are being landed in England ; the Imperial Guard has returned to France ; Malta, Scutari, and Pera are looking forward to a winter enlivened by the presence of many a Crimean hero ; and our cavalry, having done nothing at the camp, are about to repeat the same process in the suburbs of Constantinople. Road-making arid hut-building have been the occupation of the vie tors during the best season of the year, and the sterner pursuits of war are agreeably relieved by theatricals and steeplechases. Except for the enormous cost—except for the great anxiety, for the risk of disease, and the possibility of calamities like the great explosion of the 15th of November, this mighty land and naval armament, adequate in competent hands for the conquest of the world might as well have been anywhere since the Bth of September as in the dominions of our obstinate and vigilant adversary. We talk at home of " the vigorous prosecution of the war," and here every body is in earnest, but since the Bth of September that great business seems to have stood entirely still. Cf4aPk 4 o Who is to blame for this miserable and ludicrous fifth act to the great and glorious tragoly, the first act of which was Alma, the second Inkerman, the third the repulse of the 18th of June, the fourth the battle of the Tchernaya and the storm ing of the Malakhoff ? There is no difficulty in answering the question. We have never been slow to censure the English commanders ; but with the English commanders, in this instance, the blame does not rest. The recall of General Simpson followed so immediately after the Bth of September that it necessarily paralysed all exertion on his part, and General Ciodrington has been so short a time in command that it were utterly unreasonable to censure his inaction. But Marshal Pelissier was encumbered by no such hindrances. The teleg ra p hic wire that brought to an and d of Paris the news of the fall of Sebasto p ol bore back to him for answ er the baton of a Marshal. Ile possessed h isarmy, the m ene,onmfiadteenr material, , o b d f boundless Governmen t lessresources opportunities, and from the Bth of September to the present day he has done nothing—absolutely nothing. Was the season too far advanced ? On the 2d of December, exactly fifty c years ago, Napoleon, with an array which he had marched from Boulogne to Australitz, f oug ht and won a great battle, a p or ti on of the conflict actually tak ing place on th e i ce. Were his forces i na d equate? In how m any of the great battles o f t h e world has ene-half the force the disposal of the Allies in the at , _ Crimea ever been brought into action . ? Did he dread an attack from the Russians ? On the 16th of August a few thousand men defeated on the Tchernaya with ease the attempt of five times their number to force his lines. Then they had Sebastopol to fight for ; now they could hope nothing beyond a barren and most improbable victory. We have waited till the last moment in hopes that something would be done. There is hardly any enterprise in which the French General had not a fair chance of success, or in which, had he failed, we s hould hatvenvenat tured. to blame him ; but to attempt no hi g all—to waste two mon th s and a-half of valuable uabl e time in utter inaction—to give the enemy time to recover and the enthusiasm of his own troops to , evaporate—to stand on the defensive when a thou , me - ve warfare wer sand means of offensi —to play a losing g, when a winning one was in. Its so grave that we canlonger his hands, are faults no A keep silence , or P_ ~reiend to acqui esce in the pro ; priety of a line of conduct so fatal to our troops - azid so inglorious to our arms.
