Sir,— The superior advantages of screw propulsion being fully de monstrated by its general adoption for the public service and for the commercial operations of almost all maritime nations, a favourable time appears to have arrived for inducing a public recognition of the merit of its in.roduction. Convinced that screw navigation—whoever may be regarded as its original inventor—must date its real commencement from the successful trials and voyages of the" Archimedes" in 1839 and 1840 ; and feeling that all naval nations are indebted to the performances of that ship, for the first practical development of this great improve ment is the means of maritime enterprise; the following gentlemen, personally cognisant of the facts connected with the progress of the system, are strongly impressed with the justice of the claim.: of Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, to whose talents and untiring energy it is well known the "Archimedes" owed both her origin and success. They can also bear record to the steady perseverance with which that gentleman has continued to devote the best years of his life to the purpose of establishing the merits of the screw. A d n they no kw that the national benefit thus conferred by his labours—which was first so clearly confirmed by the performances of the Rattler in 1845, then so strikingly illustrated at the naval review of 1853, and which is now so confidently relied on for success in actual war—has not hitherto procured for him either public acknowledgment or pecuniary reward. They have therefore formed themselves into a Provisional Commit. tee, and have requested us most respectfully to solicit the honour of your name, and the advantage of your influence and example, in sup port of an appeal to all classes and interests fora general subscription to present a suitable testimonial to Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, for his prominent services in bringing into practice the system of screw navigation.—We have the honour to be your obedt. servants, EDWARD PELLEW HALSTED,/ Hon.

Extract from the Report of BarOn OnARLEs DUNN to the Academy of Sciences, Paris, on the prizes awarded by the French Govern ment to M. DEPIIY DE Losm, and M. Mott, Officiers superieurs du Genie Maritime, et Ingenieurs de la Marine delere Classes and M. BouaGOIS, Captaine de Fregate, for the successful application of steam ,and screw propulsion to sal'ing vessels of war:— "En 1835, un fermier de Middlesex, M. Francis Pettit Smith, en cadre hor zontalement une vis d'Archtmede a I'arriere et dans la partie la plus place° de la carene; cette vis est continue ; elle adeux revolutions completes. L'alltear prend son brevet le 31 Mai, 1836."' " Reverons au fermier Smith. Aussi pen savant dans le principe que le barbier Arkwri4ht, it avait la meme perseverance et le interne indomptable courage Ces deux qua lites morales Pont fait trlom pher d tons les obstacles. M. Smith, pendant deux Aimeeessaye so bateau sur la Tamise et sur le canal de Paddington. Dane ce canal,n par on accident betireux, une revolut on de sa vis d'Archiniode est brisee, et le navire marche plus vite qu'auparavant. C'est un trait de Inn:Jere, et l'on finira par n'employer qu'une inoltie. qu'un tiers, et memo une moindre partie de revolution d'heliCe. Par ce moyen, Pon pourra loger le propulseur dans une etroite ouverture vefticale, en avant du gouvemail, entre deux etambots. " D'essais en essais, NI. Smith an hasarde a lutter contra les diftl cultes de la mer. Avec un navire extremement petit, 11 s'aveature dans la Manche, et brave un mer toujours si dure, en esmyant des temps mauvais ; son courage inspire une faveur universelle. L'Amiraute d'Angleterre prend un vif interet a des essais tentes si courageusement, et couronnes par le succes. Elle demands a M. Smith un essai plus considerable, et la construction d'un navire a hence de 200 tonneaux, avant de conclure a ]'adoption du nouveau. systems. En consequence, l'Archimede, de 237 tonneaux, est con struit et finis ala mar. L'Amiraute se serait montree satisfaite, si dans les experiences demandees, le batiment out parcouru 5 nceuds par heure ; it en parcourut ems du double. Malgre le vent et la maree, it ne mit que vingt Insures pour alter de Gravesend a Ports mouth. " Convaineue par ces epieuves, l'Amiraute d'Angleterre accept° l'helice pour ses propres navies. En 1841, elle fait commencer a Sheerness son premier batiment a propulseur helieoide, le Rattler du port de 888 tonneaux, batiment qu'on mit a la me , au prlntemps, de 1843. On muitipliat les experiences stir ce navire, et l'Auairauie, completement edifice, ordonna de construire a la lois, vingt ball merits de I'Etat, a propulseurs helicoides." Letter from the Right Ihn. the Earl of Minto, G.C.8., (First Lord of the Admiralty, 1835 to at 1841.) "Lornt , June 13, 1854. "Dear Sir,—l have not a doubt that Mr. Smith may justly claim the merit of having been the first to introduce the use of tne screw propeller ; and 't was owing to his success in its application that shortly before I left the Admiralty I felt myself justified in ordering the Rattler to be built, for the purpose of testing the comparative advantages of the paddle and the screw—Believe me, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) " MINT°.

Letter from the Right Hon. the Earl of Tladdington, &c., (First Lord of the Admiralty, 1841 to 1846). yninghame, Prentonkirk, N.B , August 24, 1854. "Sir,—lt is impossible for me to take upon myself to offer an opinion as to which of the claimants is to be attributed the merit of the first invention of the screw propeller; but I believe that the success of " the Archimedes," followed by the trial of " the Rattler," (built under Lord Minto's Board), led to the adoption of the screw in II Navy, and in the merchant service. " It is admitted, I believe, that to Mr. Pettit Smith belongs the credit of the success of " the Archimedes, consequently he is en titled to be considered as the introducer of a most valuable improve ment in steam navigation. "He was employed generally under the Steam Department of the Admiralty in my time, and I have every reason to believe that his services were found to b.: valuable. "But the professional names attached to the attestation you have furnished me with, as well as those of the most eminent engineers, are of far greater value to Mr. Smith, than any testimony of mine can possibly be. — l hav e the honour to be, Ar, yoH ADDINGTOIT ur obedient hu . m- ble servant, (Signed) " "Captain Halsted, R.N.

The Fairy, Royal yacht, Captain tie Hon. Joseph Denman, will embark the Queen and Ccurt at 2 o'clock this afternoon from Osborne, and convoy them to Gos port en route to London. On Tuesday she conveyed Prince Albert, Captain Denman, and )tber officers, to Sconce Point, when th e P r i nce i nspecte d t h e new Vic toria Fort at that spot. The new yacht Victoria and Albert is so far completed in ber mac'rinery that it is anticipated she will be ready for a preliminary trial in a fortnight. The Imperieuee, 51, Captain Watson, C. 8., was docked yesterday at Portsmouth to' repair the da mages sustained in her collision with the Tartar. Every -xertion will be used to refit her, and get her back to the Baltic. Captain Yelverton, of the Arrogant, 16, is senior officer of the flying squadron, during ner absence. The new great three-decker, Marl i)nrough, 131, building at Portsmouth, is in course of preparation for launching. Her external fittings ne cessary for that event are almost finished. The cradle for her launch is in a forward state, and the neigh bourhood of the entrance from the building slip to the harbour is being strengthened by wooden piles. The Royal Sovereign, 120, ordered to be built as a sailing ship in an adjoining shed to the Marlborough, is to be forthwith adapted to the screw. Shipwrights have commenced removing the stern framework of the hull, which.will be altered to suit her new character imme ,liatery 'after the launch of the Marlborough. The Shan non, new 60-gun frigate, is also in progress at Ports mouth Dockyard, but more bands will speedily be put upon her to expedite her for launching, The Sampson, 6, paddle steam-frigate, has new boilers ready for ber, and is in course of refit in No. 3 dock, but not so expe ditiously as if wanted for immediate service. The Britan nia, 120, fitting as a hospital ship for military invalids at Portsmouth, is rapidly approaching completion, and when ready will be moored in a healthy and convenient part of the harbour. It is supposed she will be speedily commissioned by a commander of the Royal Navy and an efficient medical staff, with chaplain, &c. The new inlet dock, at the north-east corner of the steam sin in Portsmouth Dockyard wal . tinder onnfradM - beni: plete i by this day, but although some few days' delay must of necessity take place, it will be ready for open ing by the end of next month, when the Queen's new steam yacht Victoria and Alb er t w ill b e t a k en i n t o it, The entrance to this and the opposite dock have been extended 9 feet 4 inch es , an d they will be much im proved by that additional capacity. The military in valids landed by the last four ships arrived at Ports mouth were visited yesterday in the General Hospital at Portsea by Maj or -G enera l Si r F r ed e rick Smith, K.H., Commanding Royal Enginneers in the south-west district, &c., and, like their earlier arrived comrades, received supplies of extra comforts and good reading, from Lady Smith. Other presents of a similar charac ter were forwarded to her ladyship and Sir Frederick for distribution from the daugliters of Viscount Has , dinge. The hospital ship Caledonia was taken into the basin dock at Devonport on Tuesday to,have her copper exa mined and repaired. Forty shipwrights and 40 joiners on the establishment are to work . on her extra from 6 to 8 o'clock p.m. to expedite her fitting. The steam-ship Conqueror, in the floating basin at Keyham, commenced taking her boilers on board on Tuesday. The following brigs, prizes to the Archer and Basilisk, arrived at Sheerness on Tuesday night or early yesterday morning ; they were taken while attempting to break the blockade enforced in the Baltic :—The brig Meck lenburg, in charge of jr../ G. G. Wallace, mate of the Archer, as prizema.ste( the Mecklenburg has a full and complete cargo of hemp sad linseed. The Paul Fre derick. in charge of Mr. F. Semple, mate of the Basilisk, as prizemaster ; the Paul Frederick is laden with a full cargo of hemp aud rye. One of the seamen of the Basilisk who came Lathe in the Paul Frederick was sent off to Melville Hospital yesterday with a bad case of fever. A court-martial as ',7tbled yesterday at 9 a.m., on board the Waterloo nip at Sheerness, to try Lieut. John Packwood, le, on board her Majesty's steam frigate Retribution, on a charge - "as officer of the watch, of absenting him Self from the deck and going be low to his cabin, where he was found to be asleep." The following officers composed the Court :—Rear-Admiral of the Blue4and second in command at the buoy of the Nore, Robert Lambert Baynes, C. 8., Svc., President ; Commodore Wyvill, Superintendent of Chatham-yard ; Captain-Superintendent of Sheerness-yaed, John Jervis Tucker ; Capt. George H. Seymour, in command of the Pembroke, 60 guns ; Capt. Goorti, IL G. Wellesley, in commas el of the Cornwallis, 60 guns; Capt. Erasmus Ommanney, in command og.Alifjilawke, 60 guns ; Capt. James C. Coffin, in conlma!aM the Hastings, 60 guns ; Capt. Francis Scott, in cor, i pind of the Russell, 60 guns ; Capt. Hugh Dunlop, in command of the Tartar, 20 guns; Capt. Lord Frederick Kerr, in command of the Water loo ; and Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, in com mand of the Horatio, 24 guns. Lieut. Dyer, of the Retribution, was -called by Cspt. Thomas:Fisher- (t 6e after r ll h ed e prosecutor) to prove being relieved from h is watch by te Ben son, marine, proved that the prisoner not come o n the h t d pr o vept i k g en theerprisoner charge George the gSo watch nngerb' tup below r n t d e s r c n k . a s immediately W r, i w l i a a as m did the quarter-deck during his watch until he was sent for by the prosecutor. Corporal Samuel Seymour, Royal Marines, proved the prisoner was not en deck when he went to report his having gone his rounds every hour during the prisoner's watch. Also, John White, who was sentry at the steerage-door, in charge of the gun room door, proved that he saw the prisoner go into his cabin about a quarter of an hour after he commenced his duty as officer of the watch, and also that when he called the prisoner, by order of the prosecutor, the former was lying fast asleep on the top of his bed with his clothes on, and that he had to shake him by the arm to awaken him. In his defence the prisoner pleaded his services and " former prosecutions in the service ; also produc ing large number of service certificates, from his first entry into the service. The decision of the Ceurt was to the following effect :—That the charge was fully preyed, and that the Court, after maturely weighing and considering the premises, sentenced the prisoner to be dismissed from her Majesty's service, and that he was dismissed accordingly. Colonel Hart, of the depot battalion of Templemore, attended last week at Maryborough, for the purpose of receiving volunteers for the line from the Queen's County Rifles. He obtained upwards of 80 volunteers with the greatest readiness, and might have had many more were he authorised to receive theca. Lieut.-Colonel Harrison, for some time in command of the Royal Artillery in the Kilkenny military district, left on Friday for Woolwich, preparatory to proceeding to the Crimea. Detachments from the undernamed corps, from Chat ham, embarked on Wednesday morning from the Cus tom-house-quay, Gravesend, on board the ship Emma Eugenia, for conveyance to the following stations, viz. :-1 sergeant and 50 men, witt 1 woman and 4 children of the 26th Foot, for Berrntda, to join their service companies ; and 81 men of the 76th Regiment, with 4 officers, for Halifax. The names of the officers are Major Henry Brewster, Lieutenant J. H. Tripp, and Ensign L. E. O'Connor, 76th ; and Lieutenant W. M. Mill, 26th Regiment. Colonel Henry Jervis, comman dant of the provisional battalion, and Staff-Captain Henry Jackson, from Chatham, were present and super intended the embarkation of the troops, and inspected the ship's accommodation for them, also the berths for the officers. Captain W. C. Master, with Ensign E. F. Haig, and 93 men of the sth Regiment of Foot, together with Cap tain F. R. Grantham and Ensign W. J. Saul, 45th Foot, with 52 men, embarked at Gravesend on board the ship Mount Stewart Elphinstone ; the sth proceed to the Mauritius, and the 45th to the Cape of Good Hope. The ship sailed on Tuesday evening. At the garrison parade yesterday tbedetachment of the 94th Foot, consisting of two companies, quartered in the Tower, was ordered to be held in readiness to proceed to Portsmouth to-morrow morning to join the bead-quarters, which by that time will have arrived from Windsor; the corps, which is upwards of 1,200 strong, is principally made up of mere youths. The 94th has been very successful in obtaining recruits, as it will em bark 1,100 strong, besides leaving a depot in England. The destination of the regiment is understood to be Gibraltar, where it will relieve the 13th Light Infantry, which will proceed to the Crimea. Within the last few days upwards of 4,000 stand of Minie and ordinary rifles, with bayonets, and sword bayonets complete, 509 stand of cavalry carbines, and 800 stand of Victoria carbines (the last-named weapon being for the use of the small-arm men of the Royal Artillery, the Land Transport and the Royal Ambulance Corps), and a large quantity of saddlery and cavalry and infantry accoutrements and equipments have been shipped.

When we remind our readers that the Royal Albert line-of-battle ship, of 120 guns, is something under 4,000 tons, and about 229 feet in length ; and that the Simla and Himalaya, at present the largest steamers afloat, are only 320 feet in length, or thereabouts, they may form some idea of the proportions of the Eastern Steam Na vigation Company's ship, when they are told that it will be 680 feet in length and 25,000 tons burden ; in other words, of more than six times the capacity of our largest man-of-war, and above the length of the largest steam ship afloat. Our readers will have frequently heard dis cussions as to the relative merits of paddles and screws. In the Leviathan the screw will be combined with the paddle, worked by engines, nominally of 2,600-horse power, but in reality capable of being worked np to 10,000- horse power. To guard against accidents at sea to ma chinery, and to prevent any detention from such a cause, the paddle wheels will not only be perfectly distinct from each other in their working, but each will be set in motion by several sets of machinery of superabundant power, so that at all times derangements or cleaning of one or two cylinders or boilers will not interfere with the progress of the ship. Steam will be the sole pro pelling power, no canvas being contemplated in this ves sel. In fixing the great size of the Leviathan, its pro jector believes that he bas obtained the elements of a speed hitherto unknown in ocean-going steamers. It is confidently predicted that by the great length of the Le viathan she will be enabled to pass through the water at an average speed in all weathers of fifteen knots an hour, with a smaller power in proportion to tonnage than ordi nary vessels now require to make ten knots. The con tract speed of most ocean mail-carrying steamers is eight knots. We believe that the Eastern Steam Navigation Company intend making their first voyage to Australia. The actual distance from Milford H aven , t h e company ' s . starting-point, to Port Philip, is less than 12,000 miles, if no ports be touched at. A spe e d o f 15 k nots or miles an hour averaged from land to land would take the Le viathan to the golden colony in about 32 days. This can only be accomplished, even at that high speed, by avoiding all stoppages for co a l s , w hi ch, besides de taining a ship many days i n th e diff erent ports, carries her a great distance out of the direct steaming course. Here we find another novelty brought to bear by Mr. Brunel. A ship of this huge capacity can carry 12,000 tons of coals— quite sufficient, it is stated, for her consumption on the outward and homeward voyages. Space will still be left for 5,000 tons of cargo, the massive machinery, and 4,000 passengers, with their luggage and all necessary stores for use. Such is the Leviathan.. She is to be launched, unlike any other ship, broadside on to the water, by means of hydraulic power, and early in next spring is expected to make a trial trip to the United States and back in less than a fortnight. In contemplating this Brobdignag vessel, our small acquaintance with things nautical dwarfs down to Lilliputian insignificance. Before reaching the Isle of Dogs we imagined that we possessed some acquaint ance with ship-building and marine engineering. One of the leviathan cylinders was sufficient to extinguish our pretensions. With a Brunel for designer, with Stephenson for approver, a Scott Russell for builder, with Professor Airey in charge of the co mpasss, and Sir W. S. Harris looking after the lightning conduetors,th,- Leviathan may well be expected to turn out the flo a tin g marvel of the age. Fancy the a stonishment of the South Sea islanders when they behold her rushing past their coral homes. NEW CHURCH IN LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning the interesting ceremony of laying the foundation of St. Andrew's District Church, Lambeth, was performed by Admiral Lord Radstock. FPRICE SD. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTuPOL. (PROM THE C ORRESPONDENT OP THE TIMES.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, May IS. It is currently reported to-day that an extensive change in the disposition of our troops will be made very shortly, and that a strong expeditionary corps darmie will be despatched against the enemy on the north side of the Tchernaya. The report is, that the Light Divi sion, under Sir. George Brown, and the regiments under Sir Colin Campbell, will t a k e th e fi e ld in conjunction with a French and Sardinian corps, that the Fo ur th D iv i sion, under Sir John Campbell, will be moved down to defend Balaklava and the works outside it, aided by the few . Turks who remain and Valois' Brigade, and that a French c or p s w ill marc h up an d occupy the camp of the Fourth Division before Sebastopol. The French are landing large masses of men at Kamiesch every day ; the greater part by far of the Sardinian troops have already reached the Crimea, and although our force has been diminished by the withdrawal of the Turks to Eupatoria, there is no doubt expressed by th ose competent to judge of such operations that we have an army sufficiently strong to maintain our lines before the town, and at the same time to meet 'any force the Russians can bring against them in the field, if properly handled, and led with the requisite boldness and prudence. I mention these rumours as they circulate, and do not wish any one to attach the least value to the stonier invented or distorted by men pining for active enterprise, and tired of the monotony of! the trenches. ' Even should these rumours spring.from some authentic source, we all know that the best matured plans may be rudely disconcerted by the progress of events before the moment of developing them has ar rived ; and, were it possible to obtain perfectly trust worthy details of the views of our generals, it would be in the highest degree injudicious to make them public till they had been carried into effect, because any delay occurring in their execution might put the enemy; on their guard, and enable them to make efficient prepara tions for resistance by the time our projects were ripe '.fur a,cco mplish in ant_ The weather has Men so hot or the Witt Wl:44ft tint fears may be reasonably enterrained of the results of lengthened marches or extreme exertion in the sun 4 in . .the trenches .the temperature,is stifling , and the stars phere unwholsorae.

Are we, in mAer . trnth, to be left to take our chance of dying of thirst in sum mer, just as we were drowned by wet in winter ? Even supposing we bad possession of the Tchernaya, it would be tar to carry the water up steep hills 200 or 300 feet ' above its bed to the plateau at the east of which it flows, and the source would remain in possession of the enemy. This is a vital question, if the army is to re main here. There have been daily visits and interviews between the allied Generals, principally at Lord Raglan's quar ters ; and since the departure of Omer Pasha on Tuesday, not a day has passed that the Field-Marshal, Gen. Can robert, and Gen. La Mannora have not been in conver- cation. Sir George Brown has also been a frequent vi sitor at head-quarters of late, and has almost become himself again ; and General Pennefather has also paid his respects to the Commander-in-Chief. The Third Division, under Sir Richard England, now consists of a great number of regiments, and when they are strengthened it is probable some change will be made in the distribution. The Sardinians are encamped on the slopes of the pleasant hills all round Karanyi. Many of them have only the tente d'abri of the French, a little larger, perhaps, and not quite so light. Th e tents of the Sardinia n Lancers are upheld by their lances, which are stuck into the earth one at each end of the tent; and their encampment, with its waving pennons, has a very pretty effect. The English are nearly all cleared out of Karanyi village, but our Commissariat divides the labour of feeding the inhabitants with the Intendance of the French, and takes it in turn about every half-month. The Sardinian horses are rather leggy, but they are in excellent condition. They are certainly not such formidable neighbours as the horses of the 10th Hussars, which have most erratic habits, break their picket-ropes, tear off through the camps at night, and are small terrors to the quiet sleepers in the vicinity, whose tents are rudely agitated in the darkness by these playful steeds. It was only yesterday that an officer of artillery and an officer of the Bth Hussars, in company with myself, were riding peaceably along through one of the vales near Karauyi, when suddenly we heard cries of "Look out ! look out !" and lo ! there came a furious steed, his mane and tail erect, down upon us. He had stepped forth out of a pulk of Hussar horses which were feeding on the meadow grass to offer us be ttle, and rushed at full gallop towards our ponies. "Out swords !" was the word, as the interesting quadruped ran round us, now menacing us with his heels, now with his teeth, but he was repelled by two bright swords and one strong whip, and at last, to our great relief, he caught a glimpse of Colonel Mayo, who was cantering by in utter ignorance of his danger, till he was warned by the shouts of the soldiers. The Colonel defended himself and horse with great resolution and courage, and drasiring his sword, gave point or cut right and left, as the exigencies of the case required, till the men came up and beat off the interesting creature. These are agree able episodes, but it is rather too exciting this hot weather to have auperadded to the chances of war and disease the contingency of being demolished by the teeth or heels of an insane Arab. The officers of the 10th Hussars are considerably disgusted by a report, which is only too true, that the regiment is to be re duced from the Indian to the Crimean service establish ment, the effect of which will be most injurious to the supplementary officers in retarding their promotion. The junior officers in excess of the Crimean service standard will be put on half-pay, or be borne on the re gimental books as supernumeraries for service, and they will only get full employment as vacancies occur from time to time. The same regulation will apply, it is said, to the 12th Lancer., and thus two lieutenaat-colonels, two majors, eight or ten captains, and a number of subalterns will not only be deprived of the fair chances of regimental promotion, but will very probably inter fere with the promotion of officers in the other cavalry regiments ! I shall ascertain if this report be true, and acquaint you with the particulars. At present it seems, if not explained away, rather an eccentric proceeding, to reduce the efficiency of our two most servicable regi ments at the very moment when we stand most in need of cavalry. Balaklava presents an aspect of extraordinaryactivity, and the amount of stores of all kinds put on shore is be yond conception. When an army has to be fed from beyond seas, one sees what an all-consuming creature it is, and sonic notion can be formed of its powers of de struction in passing through a cultivated country. Piles of shot, cannon, shell, and cases of shrapnel, canister, &c., mounds of charcoal bags and wood, and heaps of puncheons full of edibles rise up un every side along the water's edge. The harbour is, however, now scarcely recognisable, so great is the order prevailing among the shipping, as compated with past times, and so vast the improvetnents in the wharfs and quays along its shores. John Bull is sowing his money broadcast all over the Chersonese. There cannot be a better instance of the profuseness of our expenditure than that which is fu eished by the sailing men-of-war maintained in commis sionr- for the sake of the sailors of the Naval Brigad e be longing co them. These ships cost the country thou- I m y en-ef-war.

Still the bubject h ' so much attention I - • • - / that the Brigade will be dis Solved, or that only one bat talion at least will be retained on shore, the men be longing to the sailing vessels being all sent back to them. The skill and ability of the seamen in hat.dling the heavy guns cannet be over-rated, and theirservice., during thiajast attack especially. Here of the most valu able and arduous character.. The list cf killed and wounded of the Brigade, in working only some 35 or 36 guns, speaks for itself, and show, the hardilioOd and davotion of our tars, and the eagerness with which the enemy sought to search them out by their fire. It is to be hoped that the Admiralty will not adopt the painful and tedious proCess of "taking their claims into con sideration," but that they will at once re-echo the voice of the country, and set the example to other departments of conferring quick rewards for services rendered. The events of this war; or rather the scenery of the camp and of the country round about us, will be amply illustrated by riumer-us artists, .and the da_fuerreotype has been used by skilful hands to perpetuate the incidents of camp existence and the groupings and still life of the tents. One gentleman who came out here with a great reputation, and who brought out a letter from Prince Albert to facilitate his arrangements, fixed his tent at. head-quarters; but he received very little encourage ment there, and, as he could notget even the temporary attendance of a servant, he soon moved to other quar ters, and has been making the rounds of the camp. Ile has produced some excellent landscapes, and has even succeeded in "fixing" the vff- et of the smoke of the guns but his portraits are not so successful. There are artists for the pictorial journals out here, and amateur sketcher?, so that London will soon be made familiar with the external aspect of "the Camp before Sebes topol," But"th ere a r e littl e erenentents every day and every hou r occurr i ng here a n d t h ere w hi c h never can be depicted. Ono of the commonest and most exciting, while it lasts, is the pursuit of a centipede. A small party- are sitting in a but enjoying a frugal and cheerful meal. Suddenly there is an outcry ; a man starts up with a face of horror , and with -outstretched finger points to a dark ins ec t, all legs and - nippers, about six inches long, which is moving rapidly with a tortuous motion along adroit, eh( The e b 1 t e dw v e e os r t ysstrocnzkees carvingleaps wherewith up n s :F os the wall.

At the present moment (11 o'clock a.m.) the thermometer is 95 deg. The Second Division are under arms, undergoing a general inspection and mild field-day by General Pennefather and staff, but the men are in light marching order. Two deserters came from Sebastopol and were sent up to head-quarters this morning. They are said to have reported that the Russian army is very strong, but that the heat has rendered the town intolerable, and that sickness prevails to an alarming extent. There is no apparent preparation fa. a move. The cavalry turned out lg squadrons (1,000 strong) on parade yesterday. The following memorandum has been issued by Cap tain Heath, for the prevention of stewards and others charging exorbitant prices for articles braught up from Constantinople. This will do good, I have no doubt, for at present we are dreadfully imposed on : H..S. Titon, Balaava, ay . "I am informed" that mu scandal has kl been M cause lo d by the stewards and others in some of her Majesty's hired transports selling private articles at exorbitant prices. " I comdder that it is greatly to the benefit of the army, and of all persons employed in this expedition, that ships running backward s an d f orwar d s should, when there is room, be allowed to bring private stores on private specu lation. The quantity brought, however, should be so limited in amount that the public service may not be im peded, and the prices shoald be so reasonable as to forbid the imputation to which I have refered. " To attain the first of these objects a regulation has, I believe, already been made at Constantinople,.that no pH vete stores for sale are to be shipped from that port wi-4 . • out permission from the Tf ansportsoffice ; and I have't r ther to direct that, on arrival at 13alaklava, whether from Constantinople or any other port, a list of private stores for sale is to be brought to me. `l.'o attain the second object—viz., that the articles so brought should be sold , A reasonable prices—l have to direct that the masters of transports will notify to the stewards and others who may be in the habit of trading on board their res:ieetivk- ships, that they are not allowed on c s l h i i o tr r g e e a n t I r a % e t h o a f n s o h n i p e- n e l i e g n h t th fo i r n a d d e d a d i ti o a t: o t c o k, the su i c i h ri prices s hams, ale, &c., and one-fifth for live ,trek. " Thus, ale costing 12s. per dozen in store at Constanti nople may be sold here for 13s. 6d. A turkey costing ss. at port of shipment may be sold here for 6s. " I beg the stewards may be informed that, if it should become known to me that these proportions have been ex ceeded, all trading in that ship will be stopped. " I rely on the assistance of masters of transports in carrying out these regulations. Their object is not only the good of the expedition, but to rescue our service from imputations which, although in some cases well founded, have in others been most unjust. " L. G.

The Ist Devon Regiment of Militia was reviewed a few days since at Newport, where they have lately gone frora Exeter. A. REMO OF BATTLE.—Among the military relics we have lately seen, one brought from Balaklava by the master of a merchant vessel is most interesting and me lancholy. It is a bras helmet, the headpiece of " Prin cess Charlotte's Own," found on the fatal plain of Balaklava. Its owner must have been in the thick of that gallant fight which almost annihilated the English cavalry, as his helmet hears abundant evidence of a per fect storm of blows. We could, without difficulty, trace upon it the marks of 10 distinct and heavy sabre blows, roost of them indenting the brass to the depth of half an-inch, but only one actually cutting through the helmet. But a , the top, close under the socket for the plume, is the mark of that which effected what lance or sabre•cut could not—the deadly rifle bullet. The ball must have gone right through the top Of the soldier's head, as near the base of the helmet inside the leather is torn, as if by the same force. Some spots of the gallant owner's blood still stain the lining, and some straggling hairs torn off by the infliction of the wound, leaving little doubt that the fatal messenger had done the work too surely,—Cork Examiner. ‘2# 7 4 4, k.A‘ . • 4%, -14 41t-------------tAT WESTERN COALS.- Best, 245. ; kt11 4 ' 114, , 22, „. 21.,„. execu t e Per ton.
