Scarcely had Lord Jon RUSSELL departed from Vienna when it was announced that Russia was prepared to bring forward propositions on the basis of the Third Point. Having so long and so pertinaciously refused to adopt this course, even when invited thereto by the representatives of the other Powers, having exhausted every pos sible pretext for procrastination, it was rather late for Russia to adopt the initiative, or attempt to obtain further delays,_ during which Austria is to continue neutral. The required meeting was, however, granted. The Russian propositions were considered and peremptorily rejected, and we now learn that M. DROUYN DE L'Huirs positively starts from the Austrian capital this day, on his home ward journey. Now that it is quite clear that peace cannot be restored on the basis of the Four Points, it is time that Austria should clearly and_ nnsquivo -cally announce the course which she is deter mined to pursue. As we have repeatedly declared from the time that the terms of the Treaty of the 2d of December were published she has bound herself to nothing--has entered into no distinct or definite engagement, beyond binding herself to " deliberate" on the ulterior measures to be adopted. She may, therefore, if she think pro per, merely "keep the word of promise to the ear." The "deliberation" may prove as abortive as that which has just taken place at the Con ferences, but Austria still will have literally per formed her contract. Should she, however, per form so unworthy, so disgraceful a part, it is to be hoped that France and England will give full expression to their honest indignation, and prove that they will not suffer themselves to be duped with impunity. That "an armed • neutrality," with possession of the Principalities, will not, under any circumstances, be allowed to Austria ; and that Prussia must also exchange her pre tended neutrality for a more decided and straight forward policy. It is now clear that Peace must be conquered. We have unhesitatingly declared this fact from the beginning, and experience has fully tested the accuracy of the views we have from time to time put forward in reference to the Eastern question. Even " eminent statesmen," as they are facetiously termed, whose only perceptible qualification was a "krty - marine power" of credulity, an exces sive amount of gullibility, must at length be satisfied on this point. Ministers mast hence forward be prepared to afford full information to Parliament and to the country, and must at once and for ever abandon the affectation of mystery, under cover whereof they withhold important in formation, en the stale pretext that its publication might be injurious to her MAJEsTy's service. Secret diplomacy" has involved the nation in a refusal of desperate contest for life or death. The to permit the publication of the true state affairs, and the demand, so universally conceded, for unlimited confidence in the ABERDEEN Admi nistration, has led to the most disastrous an d calamitous results—has brought discredit on the British name, 'and cost the ~l ives of thou sands of our gallant__ troops, and millions of money. We should surely, then, albeit at the eleventh hour, modify the system so thoroughly condemned by experience, and permit the people of Great Britain to know the progress of events in the cause for which they are paying S O highly and making so many sacrifices to Mmtain.

The Government should, of course, have the priority ; that is only just and proper, and none could object to so reasonable a demand. But why should so valuable a machine be suffered to remain idle ? Why, in fact, should there be a monopoly given to the Government, when the chief value of the publication is to keep that very Government up to the mark, and compel it to discharge its duty honestly and efficiently ? We have seen the efforts made to keep the nation ignorant of what was taking place. We have seen the inestimable benefits arisi ng from the exertions of an independent and unfettered Press ; and iurely we should profit by the lesson we have read, and strive to turn to the best advantage all available means. If, then, arrangements be not forthwith made for affording the use of the tele graph to the public, a gentle pressure from with out must be resorted to in order to expedite the movements of a Cabinet made of such very squeezable materials as that which now exists under the presidency of Lord PAL3MISTON. A worthy but unwise father was the sleeping partner in his son's business. The result was his appearance in a bankruptcy court with the loss of all his hard-earned savings. The commissioner, having borne willing testimony to the father's character, added—" And I warn, from my ea perience, all in this court of the danger of sleep ing partnerships. In too many cases the dozing partner awakes some morning to find that he has parted with his all." The admonition is the very one for our country at this hour. The country is the sleeping partner in the great business of the War. It finds all the capital, it allows others to pocket their salaries, to do the work, or rather not to do it, and to spend the money. Some morning, and we think no distant one, it will awake and find sixteen millions gone after all the other millions, and well ifitsresiduary, army, too, have notfollowed to theirgraves the army already buried at Varna and in the Crimea. We shrink from being alarmists, but we are alarmed ourselves ; and better that, we all should be so than find ourselves brought, before we are aware of it, to political and mili tary bankruptcy. We regret, then, to say it, but we say it firmly, that the Whigs have not as yet materially im proved upon the Coalition. The result at Sebastopol may be better than our fears, which we will not stay to indicate, but we perceive no sensible difference between PALMERSTON and ABERDEEN, between NEWCASTLE and PANMIIRE, unless, indeed, it be that Lord PANMIIRE stays at home with the gout, and the Duke stayed at the War-office, through the hebt of autumn, " not certain that Cabinet meetings would have helped him materially," while his colleagues were rusticating at their country seats. The grand political feat of Lord PALMERSTON has been the Vienna Conference. Austria was to have commenced offensive alliance with the new year. She flung out the bait of the Four Points; it took, and long weary weeks of precious time have been wheedled away in her capital—Austria' staving off the day of decision, and befooling the Western Powers, while Russia was protracting the plausible neutrality of Austria, and gathering materials to dismiss with the last contempt the negotiators from the West. No doubt the Noble Secretary for the Colonies, who " would take the command of the Channel fleet, or perform the operation for the stone," will come forward with all confidence before the House of Commons, and prove that he was a pleaipotentiar2 par excellence, but—our readers must pardon the homely Eng lish expression—we know of none which conveys the idea so perfectly—it is clear to all eyes that Prince G.RTSCHAKOFF has sent his Lordship home "with a flea in his ear." Never was imposition more. obvious, compliance more weak, and ulti mate defeat more complete and ignominious. The Third Point was the point on which all depended. Russia and Austria shirked it successfully, made it No. 3 instead of No. 1, mutually gained and conceded the two points which rendered the Western Powers of least consequence to Austria, and then, after luring the Allies for two or three weeks longer with bait No. 3, Russia laughs in their face, and tells them they shall never have, if she can help it, anything like No. 3 at all ! We are thankful for the main result, but we can not conceal the fact, that PALMERSTON, with his Lord JOHN concurrent, have been as -much the dupes of Russia as ABERDEEN with Lord JOHN recalcitrant or restive. Bad enough to have beguiled away the early spring of '55 as of '54 in dalliance with Austrian perfidy, but still worse is the unaltered routine at home and abroad. How little has been done which the poor Duke of NEWCASTLE had not set agoing before he left office ! Yet never had a dictator abetter opportunity. In the way of re forming the Services he could not have taken a wrong step. The whole nation were anxious for it. He might have superseded instantly every drowsy sexagenarian, every man whose de partment had failed, and have filled their places with the best men he could find, and none dare have resisted. He might have cancelled with a word the whole system of time-wasting forms, have enforced real responsibility everywhere, and have had a whole nation endorsing his orders. But what of all this has he done ? He has tried to shelter all abroad by commissions of inquiry, and left all at home to obstruct public business by their incompetency and arrogance. We have a new managing director, and a few new directors, but the Board is substantially the same, of the same sort of men at least, the subordinates of the working machinery are the same, the old cum brous and self-thwarting routine is preserved, and our business, as we infer, - is still going . to ruin. Yast sums of money are still being sunk, and— no return,. There is but one remedy for all this ; we have urged its adoption before . . We most earnestly hope that if our advice be unheeded, England may not very soon find it out too late, too late at least to avoid immense sacrifices merely to recover lost ground. The remedy is, of course, for the people to look to its own business. It cannot, indeed, become the Executive and administer affairs itself, but it can call its administrators to account, and demand that right-hearted and competent ser vants take their place. Now is the proper time. Immense supplies are being voted ; it will depend upon the people alone whether these millions are toasted or used. For years to come an effete and selfish aristocracy may wear us out with redoubled loans and enhanced taxes, while they will achieve nothing better than mismanaged and futile cam paigns, and inglorious negotiations. Our pockets wfveilirtnoi: be safe from the inroads of aristocratic Chancellors of the Exchequer, nor will our aris t e from itall2 aris tocracy esr re ally humble the despots whom they prt petio:ptetiett:ens Ithqueuinnleets:estsh.e country arouse now meet, and t.:l4leY the in the kingdom, and th , on-electors too, should be paid for in heavy peclleu:se s3l' Commons f 0) what end they are eiected. • %men ess nov‘will disappointments, and ar3' penalties, bitter unavaili future will be as the' P an if tha ne_ regm. . e - - ••• - PecTle do THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 18b5. not change it. It will be folly to wait till the stimmer is over, till Government has got rid of the House of Commons, and can laugh from Downing street at the people. Mai cover, the House itself needs awakening. We adverted yesterday to the disgraceful count-out on two motions of great national importance. Idlers are not the men for senators just now ; much less cowards, who dare notface an honest and urgent motion. Lord JOHN, with tears, postponed his empty Reform Bill for the War. It members can do nothing better than vote away :money and shirk grave questions, the people must demand their real Reform Bill. Votes for the many, and the Ballot for all, will be the war cry at home, as the only means to war in earnest—war without reckless waste abroad. The motion about to be made in the House of Lords calling on Government to declare their in tentions in reference to Russian trade through Prussia this season is by no means uncalled for. Had we no stronger reason for this opinion than the surprising ingenuity manifested by Govern ment irk blundering, the remarkable tact hitherto shown by men in office in omitting to do the right thing—not only at the right time, but also at all, that would amply suffice. But when we take into account the experience of last year, when we re member what evil results followed from the course then pursued with regard to Prussia, we are dis posed to wonder that the intended motion was not made before. At the commencement of the War we were told, in the most emphatic manner, that the blockade to be established by our fleet in the Baltic would so pa ralyse Russian commerce, that the nobles of that country whose income was notoriously derived from the exportation of the produce of their estates, and the merchants generally, would murmur so deeply in revolt against the War, as to compel the CZAR seriously to entertain conditions of peace. In this faith the public bore with greater pa tience the comparative inactivity of the fleet. If Sir CHARLES NAPIER did not batter down stone walls, he, at all events, was effecting this desir able object. Unfortunately, one or two little facts were overlooked. The neutral KING of PRUSSIA was the fast friend of Russia, and his ter ritories lay convenient to those of the CZAR. If CLICQUOT could not fight for his brother-in-law, he could do better still, he could lend him important aid, at. no risk, and, what was still more, profit by it. He could facilitate the passage of Russian produce through Prussia, and at the same time fill up the coffers of the State ; and he did so, the result being that, in a commercial point of view, the blockade was rendered useless. Russian merchants and nobles readily got rid of their goods, and found themselves almost as well off at the end of the year as at the beginning. The people of Eng land have the satisfaction of knowing that the mismanagement of their rulers has enriched a traitorous neutral, and frustrated the main ob ject of a costly blockade. Now that the fleet has returned to the Baltic it is surely high time some measures were taken with Prussia to check the evil. THE CONVICT BU.RANELLL MEMORIAL TO SIR G. GREY, BARONET, M.P., SECRE TARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT, IN FAVOUR OF LUIGI BURANELLI, ?RESENTED APRIL 23, 1855. We, the undersigned physicians and surgeons, having carefully examined the evidence hereunto annexed, re lative to the case of Luigi Buranelli, now lying in New gate under sentence of death for murder, do hereby ex press our solemn and matured opinion that the.prisoner was insane at the time he committed the crime. We do further affirm that, had we been consulted on the evidence now disclosed as to the condition of the prisoner's mind before the act was perpetrated, we should have had no hesitation in subjecting him to medical treatment for mental disease. We therefore are confident that, had the prisoner been in a different rank of life, such steps would have been taken respecting him as would, in all probability, have prevented the commission of the murder ; and, accord ingly, we do earnestly pray that the extreme sentence of the law may not be carried into execution in the ewe o f a person whom we believe to have been a lunatic when he perpetrated the act for which his life has been , leclared forfeited.

Evening. —The arrest and CANTERBURY, Th urs d ay confinement of Sergeant A. Brodie, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, for preventing a duel, has created quite a sensation throughout the city ; all classes, from his wor• ship the mayor downwards, deeply sympathising with the injured cornet, Baumgarten, and the equally injured sergeant, who bears a most exemplary character in his regiment, and who has already bleu confined to his room for six days for his kindness in preventing a hostile meeting that might have resulted in the sacrifice of life. AS the facts connected with the arrest of Sergeant Brodie were not all brought out on the ex amination before the mayor and magistrates, it may be briefly stated that A. , Tatant Webster (when Ser geant Brodie bad succeeded in preventing the duel, by causing the detention of one of the principals) three times distinctly told the guard "to knock the ser geant down with the butt-end of their carbines, if he resisted them," although the sergeant had then given himself up as a prisoner. Having been taken to the room and searched, the sergeant was subsequently ushered into the presence of the colonel of the regiment in the orderly-room as 4 prisoner, when he told the colonel all the circumstances of the case. The adju tant said Sergeant Brodie was drunk at the time. The colonel then or:iered the corporal to be brought in. When qnestio-ded, he said the sergeant was perfectly sober when b e arrested him. After further interro gations, t l .ie colonel ordered the sergeant to be taken to his r „sem, to await his trial by general court-martial. The e,rder was obeyed, and asentryplaced outside Sergeant 13r:idle's room ; but on Sunday a second sentry was added, adid a notice placed outside the room door to the effect— " That no person was to hold any conversation with Ser geant Brodie except in the presence of the acting adjutant (Webster.)" As soon, however, as the magistrates' proceeding s had terminated, the sentries were removed, and the notice taken down. Still te sergeant remains under arrest, and confined to his own room, although in a debilitated condition.

VIENNA, THURSDAY EVBNING. To-day, at the request of the Russians, it was made known that they would make new proposi tions. The issue of the Conference has not yet transpired. Baron Hess goes with the whole of the general staff to Galicia on the 2d of May, but probably only to inspect the army. By a second despatch we learn that the Russian propositions have been rejected by the allies. M. Drouyn De I'Huys leaves to-morrow. Railway shares have fallen 3 per cent. THE OVERLAND MAIL. TRIESTE, FRIDAY MORNING. The steamer Bombay arrived yesterday at a quarter past nine p.m., in 124 hours from Alexandria. The India Mail brings advices from Calcutta, March 24 ; Madras, 28 ; Bombay, April 3 ; Shanghai, March 9 ; Canton, 13 ; Hong Kong, 15. A rupture with Persia is imminent ; the Shah openly avows his preference for Russia. Mr. Murray left Bagdad for Teheran on the 12th of March. V' The meeting between Ryder Whou and Mr. Lawrence took place near Peshawur on the 19th of March. Trade in India is dull, and money scarce. Lord Dalhousie reached Ootacamund on the Bth of March much better in health. The traffic on the Calcutta railway exceeds all expectations. Shanghai and Canton have been evacuated by the rebels. The Russian frigate Diana has been lost in Japan from the effects of an earthquake. The steamer Shanghai arrived at Hong Kong on the 20th of February. The Living Age and the Tom Bowline have been wrecked on the Prahas. Exchange at Canton, 48-i ; Shanghai, 64k. The ratification of the Japanese and American treaty took place at Simoda on Feb. 21. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The following telegraphic despatches have been received here to-day "FRANKFORT, 25ris, EVENING.—A report was cur rent at the Bourse to-day that a separate treaty was to be signed between Turkey and Russia by the interven tion of the Allied Powers, and forming part of a Euro pean treaty of peace which will be signed by all the great Powers, including Prussia." "MADRID, 25Ta.—The Cortes have adopted up to article 12 of the bill for the sale of the Church property. Reports which had been in circulation of some differences of opinion having arisen among the Ministry are totally unfounded. The Portuguese Ambassador has addressed a note to the Spanish Government, complaining of at tacks made by Spaniards on the Portuguese frontier." The total amount of the subscription received by the Minister of War for the army of the East up to this time is 1,792,249 f. 94c. On account of the number of men required at present for the fleet, the Minister of Marine has or dered that no exceplilnal iischarges from the ser vice shall take place on any pretext. The King of Sweden had named the late M. - Duces, Commandelt-Grand- Oren of the Order of the Polar Star. The diploma and the insignia of the order were presented to the Minister two days before his death. An idea may be formed of the great activity displayed by the deceased Minister whilst at the head of the naval departm ••nt from the fact, that during the last three years not less than 14 screw line-of-battle ships, and 123 other steamers or sailing vessels, have been either laid on the stocks or launched. M. Bineau, ex Minister of Finance, has arrived in Lyons from the South. The hon. gentleman's health has con -iclerably improved. The Calypso frigate left Toulon yesterday with troofs and ammunition for the Crimea. The Eng lish steamers the Calcutta, the Tubal Cain, the Isabel Croll, and the Loire, and the Bremen steamer the Hausa, took their departure from Mai Mlles the preceding day with troops and stores for the army of the East. The following order of the day was published by General Canrobert on the occasion of General Forey, leaving the army of the East. It is dated head-quarters before Sebastopol, April 11th : " The E,nperor calls' General Furey to the army of Africa, in vesting him with the important command of the division of Oran. The General-in-Chief, in taking leave of the general officer, has to express to him his perfect satisfaction and his gratitude for the signal ser vices which he has constantly rendered in the high posi tion of commander of the siege corps before Sebastopol, which command he has exercised with Unflinching and loyal energy during five months of most severe trials. The Lame of General Forey will remain gloriously asso ciated with the persevering efforts of the army of the East during this memorable winter campaign."

It is also giTen as probable that our Cabinet will renew its proposal relative to the mobilisation of the federal contingents." THE BALTIC. The war steamer Driver, with the gun-boats Pincher and Robert in tow, joined the fleet in Kiel harbour on the evening of the 22d inst. Three more English steam corvettes and three gun-boats passed Copenhagen on the 21st, steering fox the Baltic. The vessel taken by the Desperate, Captain White, off Libau, on the 17th inA., and sent into Memel, is in some accounts mentioned as Miron, in others as Myran, Captain lienivieck• ; and she is described to be a Russian schooner from Riga, bound to Libau from Bornholm with a cargo of coals. The Desperate came to anchor of Memel in the morning of the 21st, and sent a boat-on shore with despatches for our Consul there ; she was last from the roads of Libau, where the Impe rieuse and Euryalus had already been some day , . cruising. A notice was that same after noon hung up at the Exchange in Memel, emanating from Admiral Watson, and announcing, in the names of the Queen of England and the Emperor of the French, teat on the 17th inst. the strict blockade of the harbour of Libau had been established by an adequate naval force, and that the same took place on the 19th with reference to all Russian harbour; roads, and bays, from 55 deg. 54 min. N. latitude and 21 deg. 5 min. longitude E. from Greenwich, up to the Fresind lighthouse, under 58 deg. 25 min.

MAnsEruEs, April 24. —Marseilles for some days past has presented rather the appearance of a vast camp than of a great commercial city. The streets have been crowded with those mag nificent troops, ;the Gendarmerie of the Impe rial Guard, Dragoons, Hussars, Artillery, and various detachments of Infantry. We are now relieved by the departure of eight transports on Saturday, three British steamers and six transports on Sunday, the mail-packet steamer Thabor and a large.

MARKET NEWS—(Tillas r CORN EXCHANGE . The arrivals of English wheat up to our market this week have been very moderate, and the show of samples here to-day was limited. The amount of business doing was not to say extensive; yet, in some instances, prices were from is to 2s per quarter higher than on Monday, lnd a good clearance was effected. There was a alight improvement in the inquiry for fo reign wheat, the show of which was limited, and the quo 'ations wr,re fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain were steady, at very full prices. reere was more doing in barley, and grinding and die tilling sorts were the turn dearer. Malt changed hands slowly, on former terms. We had a good consumptive demand for oats, at very full prices. Beans, peas, and flour were held for more money. ARRIVALS MS %Vim. Wheat. Barley. f Malt.

To•day's market was seasonably welt supplied with beasts, most lareeds of which sold slowly, at Monday's currency. The show of sheep was good, yet the mutton trade ruled brisk, at very full prices. Lambs were in full average supply and steady request, at extreme rates, viz., 5s 4d tc, 7s per Sibs. We had a good inquiry for calves— the show of which was on the increase—at full quotations. In pigs very little was doing, on former terms. Mitch cows sold slowly, at from 14/ to 10/ each, includ ing their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d. s. d. s d.

The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour ; but the room was cleared immediately after wards, and the committee remained in deliberation for fully half-an-hour. Captain Dacres, R.N., of thq s!.rispareiL was called on the readmission of the public, and was examined by Mr. Layard. He stated that he went to Ba,lak;ava on the 26th Oe• toter. He was present at the embarkation at Varna. In his opinion, there might have been more boats used' with advantage for the embark'ation. He said the French boats, were more numerous, but he did not think they were better adapted for the purpose than ours. There was no delay in our case in embarkation or disembarkation. They might have had to disembark in the face of the enemy. Supposing the army had been called upon to embark a month earlier he did not think there would have been the proper means at. command. He had personally the superintendence of the disembarka tion. He was afterwards engaged in removing on board the sick and wounded, who were brought down to the lehore from the field by sailors. Supposing there had not been sailors to have discharged that duty he did not 'know what arrangements had been' made. He saw no precautions for the purpose, beyond a fe w country carts. He saw the French wounded removed. They were removed by means sent out from home with the army. Otir wounded were packed very closely in the carts ; but he believed that the best means at com mand were made use of to remove them, and the best care was taken of them that could be exercised under the circumstances. The men were afterwards trans ported on board ship. No ship was special fitted up for the reception of the wounde The Sanspareil was at Ba'aklava at th . beginning of September. Sir E. Lyons then had comrnand of the harbour. He (witness) took the -uper. intewlence of the harbour on the 27th October. Orders* bad then been issued for every vessel to evacuate the harbour, and when •he arrived there. were not three ships there, .but there were 60 or 70 sail outside the harbour. This order . was issued by Admiral Dundee. After the t time he was responsible for the management of the harbours. There were several corpses be admitted drifted into the harbour, but they were buried as soon as possible. The accounts given ,of the state of the harbour were inaccurate as a• genere state of things. When any offal or anything of that sort collected it was immediately removed. The way the ships were anchored • was in his opi eon the be t. They were anchored so as to allow other ships to pass into the harbour, and the opinion of Sir E. Lyons agreed with mine in this respect. At the time of the gale al vessels were anchored according to his instru - otionss and he never bad any difficulty with the captains of trans port-ships in this respect, or any complaints. The roaster of the Sanspareil bad the superintendence of the anchorage. Prerious to the gale he advised the, captain of the Resolute to put to sea at once, in order to le safe. He did not think steam tugs were proposed until Sir E. 'Lyons proposed them. He never heard Of any representations being made by the Captain of the Prince. She came in on the 10th November, arid she was admit ted into the harbour, and he heard no more of her until he learned that she was lost. He thought she bad no business to have anchored as ehe did. •He had oft, n spoken relative to the anchorage in the harbour. Many ships were detained because those inside could not clear. Mr. Layard—How was that ? • Witness—A great many vessels came without any bal last, and much time was lost after unloading them and getting there ballast into them. That was the principal reason. The best exertions were used to clear ships as they arrived ; but labour was very scarce and men could not be got„ There were three wharves ; one was formed of the rafts which had been used to land the cavalry, and was a very good one. If it had been expected that the army was going to remain there things might have been different, and many improvements would doubtless have been made in the habour, but he did not believe there were ten men in the army . who were not sanguine of Sebastopse being taken without delay. The Turks at Bale klava were in a wretched condition ; almost every house was filled with them, either dying or dead. They were not ill-treated. He had heard of the soldiers jeering et them, but he was not aware that any physical violence was done to them. The Sanspareil had 14 tons of coal on hoard ; but there was a general deficiency of coals. There ought in his opinion to have been proper arrange ments for keeping up a proper supply of coals to the fleet. The weather was very bad at that time, and lit supposed the coal transports could not come out of the Bosphorus. The position of the Turkish borial•groune was very bad, and the effluvia was very offensive. Mr. Layard—With regard to Capt. Christie, had yoi ever any complaints made to you as to his conduct ? Witness—Never at any time. Examination continued—Every sick and wounds(' man who was put in the boats to be conveyed on boar(' he saw himself, and he felt bound to say the best at terition was paid to them, and the greatest kindness and gentleness dis!dayed towards them. Just before the battle of Inkerman, two vessels were fitted up for the reception of the sick and wounded, and they would accommodate about four hundred together. They, were fitted with p elliasses. After Inkerman, however, the pressure of the wounded was s , great that they were obliged to be sent on board wits. 11%tle or no previous arrangements being made'fr them He only visited Balakla.a three times. He bad been at Eupatoria, but he never heard of any large provision stores bein g there. There was, however, a I:,rge 11,fut depot at Old Fort, which was given to the English. The naval brigade did not suffer very much. They were properly fed, and properly clothed, and had no word, in the trenches. They were also better able to take ear.- of themselves than the troops. The sailor was readier in making use - of his wits and his'hands than the soldier, as he had been brought up to it ever since he had been in the service : and, in these respects, he had a 'decided advantage over the latter. By Mr. Drummond—He left Balaklava in the middle of November. 'He knew Captain Christie. It was not true that he was an old gentleman upwards of 70. He was about 55 or 56. Captain Christie asked witness for permission for the, Prince to enter the harbour. By the Chairman—The description given of the state of BalaAlava on the 28th October, to the committee, did not agree with his experience on that day, which was the day on which he arrived there. He found no such thing as offal, dead bodies, entrails of animals, and things of that sort floating about. lEe bad no doubt that latterly, after he had left, things did fall into con fusion and neglect, owing to the scarcity of men. By Captain Gladstone—Whilst he was in command there, at all events, the harbour was in a olean and pro per condition. By Lord Seymour—He had nothing to do with the transports. His duty only consisted in general direc tion, and affording assistance to vessels clearing and the like. If -he required anything done with the transports he invariably applied to Captain Christie who superintended that department. Ha always ordered vessels out of the harbour as soon as possible because the harbour was always overcrowded. He was always, whilst there, afraid that if a gale sprung up it might en danger the shipping, and accordingly he gave orders for all steamers to be kept under steam all night in•order to be ready_to put to sea. He had plenty of boats at his command for the landing of Commissariat stores, and no want was felt in that respect whilst he was there. By the Chairman—Every, vessel which arrived vra , -. directed by the master of the Satispareil how to anchor. If the Andes came in, as her captain had stated, and anchored without any directions being given her, it was contrary to his knowledge, and also to the regulation. Ile did not, however, mean to say what her captain had stated was untrue ; it might have been the case. By Lord Seymour—He had nothing to do with coal ing at Constantinople. He thought better arrange ments ought to have been made there for the perform. ance of that operation;considering the large number . ()f vessels which had to take in a supply there continually. By Sir John Pakington—lt was his fills opinion that Before the great gale which occurred reached its height, if vessels could haie put to sea, a vast amount of damage might have been averted. The gale began as early as the 11th, but no sailing vessel, he thought, couldithen have put to sea in consequence of the swell The Prince, being a steamer, might have got out.ide, and if she bad it was his conviction that she might have been saved. It was only advice, not an order, he gave to the captain of the Resolute to put to sea. By Mr. Layard—Admiral Lyons did not make any signal pn the 14th for the fleet to put to sea. The cap tain of the Firebrand and other vessels obtained permis sion to put out, and Admiral Lyons pin out also. This concluded the examination of Captain nacres. Captain Milne, of the Admiralty Board, was then called. He stated that he had the direction of thA trail :port department, and made the whole arrangements for the transport of troops, stores, and horses from this country. The witness then went on to state the different steam shipping companies with whom communications were entered into for the charter of steamers by the Go vernment, and mentioned the different vessels so taken up. I Ite afterwards said he eousidered himself responsible to the COLONIAL. TEA.—The public sales this week went off heavily, there being an indisposition to pay previous rates. —Rlrly in the week importers insisted upon 2s 6d to 3s oat of tho additional duty, but since 2s to 2s Cl has been obtained for British plantation. Barbadoes at auction went slowly, a part only of the quantity offered finding buyers.

Letters from the Lower Danube state that the navi gation of that river has been again interrupted by the Russians, who are said to have fired on several merchant vessels under the Austrian flag, in the neighbourhood of Ismail. More than 50 vessels remained laden at Galatz and dare not move. It is very possible that the Rus glans wish by this measure to prevent supplies going to the allied army in the CI irnea from the Principalities.
