SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (fifer tkeThnerof yPstereay.) ' ll L.t.euNa' One of the most important changes which could possibly have been introduced into our military system has been well commenced by the issue of an unassuming memorandum from the War-office under the date of May 1. This memorandum is very short, very important, and, as far as it goes, very wise, but it is couched in a strain of pleasing irony. "In order," writes Lord Panmure, "to remove any doubt which may exist as to the rank au I precedence of the officers of the Hon. East India Company's service ;"--why, there never has beeu any doubt at all upon the subject. Any schoolboy who has paid decent attention to the gossip of his elders is perfectly aware that hitherto the rank of an East Indian officer was altogether lost to the west of the Capo of Good Hope. Iu sort of loose fashion, we have been in the habit of receiving at our London dining-tables and in the pump-rooms of our bathing towns a host of generals, colonels, and majors from India, but they had no more real right to the titles conceded to them by the courtesy and good sense of their countrymen than so many members of the Society of Friends. We are not, however, disposed to be critical upon forms of expression where the meaning of what follows is so reasonable. "It is Her Majesty's pleasure that officers of the East India Com pany's service, whose commissions shall be signed by autho rities duly deputed to do so by her Majesty, shall have rank and precedence with officers of her Majesty's regular army, according to the dates of their commisions, in all parts of her Majesty's dominions or elsewhere." As yet, there is nothing announced more important than the cessation of a silly etiquette. The mem randum of the War-office is not osten sibly pointed at any higher result than the rectification of a great injustice, which denied to so many veteran soldiers the honours and privileges of their well-won grades. If the re form stopped short hero, however, little would be gained. Changes more important will soon follow, which must ulti mately end in the important conclusion that we shall have a list of effective land officers capable of serving the public three or four times more numerous than before. Until now, whenever a position has been made for inviting the services of East In dian officers in time of public exigency, the invariable answer has been, that out of India these gentlemen had no military rank at all ; how could it be expected that officers bearing the Queen's commissions could act with or under civilians I The Indian officeis out of India were scarcely of as much account as the Yeomanry oi the Militia. It was but natural, under such circumstances, that the youngest cornet who ever docked the tail of his companion's charger, or the most buoy ant ensign who ever smashed the crockery of his brother offi cer, should indignantly refuse to listen to so shameless a pro position as that of companionship with the military Pariahs. To be sure, in Upper India, on the banks of the Indus, and elsewhere, the seniors of the mess had occasionally seen the fellows fight, but the rules of the .ervice must not be in fringed. The Hon. Cornet Spoonbill, as he rocked about on his great black horse, regarded Messrs. Pollock, Outram, Mayne, and other civilians of that description, with justifiable professional disdain. The equalisation of rank and precedence is the first step, and but the first step, in the right direction. If we aro not mistaken, officers of all ranks and of all arms in the regular army, save those who have seen Indian service, have a great deal to learn from Indian officers. In saying this we mean them no dispamgenlent. With the like advantages, with the like opportunities of service and chances of distinction, no doubt they would have attained the same point of professional advancement ; but the science of war is not to be acquired by young men who never saw a brigade drawn up. The great necessity of the present time—and, indeed, of all times in the history of a powerful empire—is that its rulers should at any given moment have the power of securing the services of officers fit for high military command—above all, of one officer fit for the highest command. As we stand at the present miment, we are compelled to choose between twd - categodit of officers the old Peninsulars and the young " know-nothings." The old Peninsular veterans who are to be produced upon the scene at all may be taken as a year or two on the sunny side of 70, so that we may calculate their military experience in the Peninsula to have lasted until they have attained the ripe ago of 25. From the ago of 25, or thereabouts, until this Crimean war they have not seen active service, so that unless there be some process for keeping veterans fresh it is to be presumed that they have not improved in the interval. When we have ex hausted the Peninsular list wo are next compelled to turn to officers who have not seen service at all, many of whom we most unfeignedly and sincerely believe will turn out excellent soldiers when an opportunity for gaining experience and dis playing ability has been afforded to them. Meanwhile, let not these gentlemen take it amiss if we say that, of all quali ties in the world, ability for high miliiary command is pre cisely the one which cannot be taken on trust. A man may be an excellent regimental officer, may be an unequalled dis ciplinarian, and yet be entirely deficient in those higher mili tary qualities of combination, foresight, and determination which constitute the consummate military commander. Of course, if all officers in the service of a country are equally unknown to fame, the choice must be an affair of chance ; but surely nothing can be more suicidal than tl'at policy which deliberately postpones the claims of acknowledged merit to antiquated prejudice, class jealousy, or obstinate adherence to custom. Startling as the doctrine may appear in the cars of our friends at the Horse Guards, we must express a confident be lief that henceforth the selection of an English Commander-in- Chief to act in the field must be made from among Indian offi cers. It does not necessarily follow that he is to be what was known until the let of May as a Company's officer ; but, at least, he must be a man of Indian experience and Indian dis tinction. Unless the war with Russia should last long enough to give us a tategory of Crimean officers we Indianosvely nowhere else to turn than to the sconce of wart re for a supply of officers capable of exercising the most import ant military commands. As with the chief, so with other principal employments. Will it be credited that while the Quartuanaster General of the army in the Crimea has shown himself such a man as Sir Charles Trevelyan described, we have actually resident in London the very officer who ga thered Lord Gough's army tozether from all points of India, concentrated it at the necessary time and at the vecessary place, supplied it with every req uisite, and produced it in fighting order on the field I That officer has been in London any time since autumn, but he was of no more account in the eyes of the good people at the Horse Guards than if ho had been the commis voyageur of a French pomade m establish ent. The same anomaly has met us at every turn, and de -1 prived us of the services of a series of able men, whe, in al probability, would have averted all the disasters which have occurred in the Crimea. But then they were Indian officers ! (Front the Times of this day.) Tho explanation of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords last night has given official confirmation to that which rumour had already suggested with regard to the details of the Con ference of Vienna. It appears that the allies proposed to Russia two alternatives —one that the Euxine should be de clared a neutral sea, open to the commerce, and closed to the ships of war, of all nations ; the other, that the Russian force in that sea should be in some degree limited. The lilts elan Plenipatentaries rejected both these propositions, and afterwards made some counter-propositions of their own, which England, France, and Austria unanimously agreed was inadmissible. Still, however, Lord Clarendon is unable to tell us what course Austria is about to adopt. Count Buol considers that the moans for obtaining peace are not wholly exhausted, and that it will be the especial duty of Austria to endeavour to discover some means of attaining that end con sistratt with the engagement she lies entered into with the other powers. This, 'hen, is what we know with certainty of the present state of our foreign relations. We confess we read these revelations with feel ings of no small mortification. We cannot com mand the fortunes of war, though the most earnest advocate of our late and, present Ministries must admit that we could have played much more boldly and fairly for RUCCCSS. But, if we do not carry on military operations like a wise or far sighted Power, we ought, at any rate, to conduct our nego tiations like a firm and magnanimous one. We have under taken to humble the Emperor of Russia. Thu very statesman whom we sent to Vienna has pu licly denounced his policy in terms seldom indeed applied by Ministers iu public to the acts of crowned heads. A f t er having, by his own I ingulge in Parliament, greatly embittered the quarrel, Lord John Russell broke up the Government of Lord Aberdeen because it did not carry on the war with sufficient vigour, and him self invited a vote of censure on conduct for which he was equally responsible with his colleagues. A new Government was formed on the principle of pure Whiggism and a vigorous prosecution of the war, and the first act of this Government was to despatch Lord John Russell to Vienna to negotiate a peace. As if wore thoroughly to identify the Ambassador with the Ministry, he accepted on the road to Vienna office of Secretary of State for the Colonies. Had not the country, then, a right to expect that a man so deeply con cerned in the commencement, so entirely committed to the objects, and so strictly pledged to the vigorous prosecution of the war, would submit no propositions derogatory to the dignity of the country, or compromising the priaseples upon which England and France engaged in hosti Rice I Yet wo find Lord John Russell at Vienna offering terms to Russia which, if accepted by her, would render useless all the sacri fices which England and France have hitherto made, and leave the undisputed supremacy of the Euxine in the hands of Russia. We offered to make peace, if Russia would limit the number of her ships in the Black Sea; but what gua rantee could we possibly exact that these terms, if conceded, would ho faithfully observed ! Who could prevent Russia from holding in readiness in the naval stations which s he posses es on her great rivers any number of ships which she chose to build, ready to he armed and manned whenever the moment of final action should arrive I While England and France are united, present events prove that it is in their power absolutely to annihilate the Russian naval preponderance in the Euxine ; but, if these Powers were un happily divided, nothing could prevent Russia from gaining that preponderance in a moment, and tearing into pieces 'he treaty which so idly sought to check it. Fortunately for the Idi gn ity of this country, Russia, iu the plenitude of her arro gance, refusel these overtures, and l e ft u s to seek for other terms still more conciliatory, in order to mitigate her resent ment at our interference on behalf of a nation which she had i marked out for her victim but we have a right to ask i whyTh,eafteimlrnettiidiateum dan ukag Aer past, remoon is of fuss which swill Iwo. NORTHERN OF FRANCE The annual meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Paris—Baron J. de Rothschild, the president, in the chair. M. DELIECQUI read the report, which stated that the process of laying down heavier rails on the main line, in place of the original rails, was going on steadily. In consequence of the very considerable increase in the traffic, it had been found necessary toextend the sid:n4s on various parts of the line, and to give greater accom modation at the g oods stations. This had involved an outlay of 3,801,229 f. (152,0491) The branch from St. goctitin to Erquelines would be opened in July next, and pl ice the Northern line in immediate communication with the richest coal basin in Belgium. The works on the other branches aro proceeding rapid'y, and the out lay on them during the past year amounted to 9,776.12011 (391,0441) The increase in the traffic had rendered it necessary to order an addition to the rolling-stock of 144 locomotives and 5,600 waggons, which would increase the cost of the woi king stock to 77.170,000 f. (3,086 800/. The directors propo.ed to appropriate a further sum of 5,330,000 f. (212,2001.) fur that purpose, niak:iig the total cost 82,500,000 f. (3,300,0001.), which would be sufficient for a conmidera!)le time. The capital account showed that 303,115,4041. (12,124,6161.) had been received, and 284,146,199 f. (11,365,8481 ) expended, including 31,103,8171. expended in 1854, leaving a balance of 18,969,205 f. The receipts for 1854 (after deducting 10 per cent duty on passengers, subscriptions, ito.), amounted to 38,507,372 f. (1,540,2950, and the expenses to 14,377,861 f., leaving a balance of 24.179 511 f.

The meeting then separated. PRESENTATION OF A SWORD TO MAJOR-GENERAL SCABLETT.—Major-General Scarlett having been recalled from the seat of war by urgent family business, his neigh bours at Burnley, Lancashire, have availed themselves of the opportunity bef-re he returns to present him with a handsome sword. The sum of 150 guineas was sub scribed in the course of a few days, and the sword was presented on Wednesday evening, at the Court-house, in the presence of a large assemblage, including Mr. Townely, of Townely-park, Lord Abinger, Mr. It. T. Parker, M.P., Mr. Le Gendre Starkie, M.P., most of ' the principal gentry and manufacturers, and a number of ladies. Li acknowledging the handsome testimonial, the gallant officer alluded to the engagements in whioh the cavalry Lad taken part in the Crimea, and more particu larly to the successful Heavy Cavalry charge at Bala klava. He was loudly cheered, The proceedings con cluded with a hatiquet. [ ADVERTISEERNT.I TUN WAR IN THE EAST. —POWERFUL PATRNT RECONNOITRING GLASSES Messrs . S. and B.

" In the night between the 13th and 14th General Pelissier took efficacious measures to assure to us the possession of the ground upon which the engineers were to advance towards the Central Bastion. The operation was divided into two parties—that of the right directed by General Rivet ; that of the left towards the Ctnetery, directed by General Breton. " First of all the enemy's ambuscades were carried with great vigour by four dompanies of the 46th, commanded by Chef do Battaillon.Julien and a company of the sth Chasseurs (Lieut. CoPri). The resistance of the enemy was most energetic, and the reserves made two or three vigorous attacks, but * which could not overoome the re solution of our companies engaged. Supported by a de tachment of the Foreign Legion (Captain Robert), twos companies of the 42d (Capt. Beauregard), and a conipany of the 14th (Lieut. Suave) they valiantly maintained their ground. The ambus cades; lit.twithAtanding the solidity of their construction, were razed. On the left and in the rear the work of the engineers was protected) by three companies of the 26th, under the orders of Caps tain Michel, whose arrangements were most excellent; and who was wounded at the head of his troop. " While these events were taking place, General Bro 4 ton caused to be carried on the left, with the same energy and success, all the Russian ambuscades of the Cemetery, by six companies of the 98th, commanded by Chef de Bataillon Gremion. Those companies, rein forced during the action by two others of the 9tb battalion of Chasseurs, gave proofs of the most remark. able intrepidity and solidity. The 98th (23d Leger) made here a brilliant damt. The enemy gave way after a very sharp fire, which did not cause our men to retreat even for a moment. These ambuscades were occupied and destroyed like those on the right. "Protected by this vigorously conducted double operation, the engineers were enabled to complete their levels and push on their works with activity. A new parallel was formed ; we propose to turn it to great ad vantage. "In this nocturnal affair, which was very brisk, and which does the greatest honour to our troops, we bad 40 men killed, of whom 4 were officers, and 117 wounded. "As regards our approaches on the Flagstaff Bastion the effects of the enemy's artillery, acting at a very short distance, almost rendered them impossible, or at least they were only practicable at a considerable loss. Under these circumstances we endeavoured to form a trench half- way between our own parallel and the salient of the bastion with the assistance of our nines, which had been oonvoaiently placed for that. purpose. The train was fired or. the evening of the 15th. The operation was per fectly successful. The engineer officers and sappers were kynnediately enabled to lodge themselves in an im mense fosse, of an average depth of four metres, the pos sessiorr of which was not disputed by the enemy. Thelr troops lined the fortification, and kept up a sharp fire of inuske try arid cannon.

PROGRESS OF THE BOMBARDMENT. (From the Special Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) ENGLISH CAMP, HEIGHTS OF SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 17. The mines which the French sprting under the Flag. staff Battery (Bastion de Mars), the particulars of which I mentioned in my last letter, were made, not only with R view of injuring the work, but also for the purpose of throwing up sufficient loose earth to enable them to rush in with their gabions and endeavour to effect a lodgment 01080 to the battery. This latter attempt, on the night of the 15th, was only very partially successful. They succeeded in filling several of the gabions, and throw ing up a kind of breastwork, but the musketry fire from the Flagstaff was too hot to enable them to remain there and complete it. Yesterd night they renewed the attempt, and nearly completed a 'drug , breastwork before they were discover/3 br enemy, when they again ret ired. c b 3 e 3 n s o d e:a s s o rt , fu n l e , a a r l n y d o l n te e h a 3 a b l l f e t i n t h r o: taF l To.n i S o f : l i t t b o t e s e o t e . y m b e l o s f p t l e h l leas to the RUNNIRII., and the other half it is to be hoped will soon become e qually so.

APRIL 20. The English Lad sharp fighting in the trenches last night, and sty:weeded in capturing the first of the rift pits. This was the pit to which I have already so fee -t quently alluded, as having caused such annoyances and Liss to the working parties in our new advanced trench. Orders were sent down for'2so of the covering party en' the right attack (composed entirely of Regiments from the Light Divi'sion) to advance and capture the pit. The men accordingly moved down quietly to where the ad- I vanced work terminated, close to the first trench. Col. G ra h am Egerton, field officer in charge of the trenches, led the party. It a given signal our gallant fellows dashed from the One Le of these s h o t s m breastwork, and, with a smothered cheer, ran s t ra i g ht' upon the trench.

Whi!e engaged in this manner, a column of Russians, about 1,000 strung, was observed advancing from the shelter of the Malakhoff, and hardly had Col. Egerton time to dispose his men in such a manner as best to contend against the overpowering force, when the enemy rushed up and tried to close with the trench. They were received with a heavy volley, before which those who surv i ved it recoiled in terror, and stood for a moment as if uncertain or irresolute how to act. They were not, however, left long to deliberate, for hesitating assa il ants, as fast as o ur men could load they fired into their adgeateinr;:ntii-nieedd,toancldosuot., wh o , as if to save themselves, oiT.ltdisnattiemfie 4thhteitro,aat,apclkacewasTnhio%ree that closed with our troops were met wish the bayonet and hurled back again, while some that bad sprung into the pit were killed on the instant. Col. Eg erton was in the midst of the contest, c h eering and a nimating the soldiers, when he was struck with a bullet, which killed him in the course of a few minutes, tliough not before the enemy were again driven hack. After the second re pulse, the Russians contented themselv es with skirmish ing behind stones and hillocks at a safer distance, and, after collecting their wounded, retired to their works without an attempt to renew the struggle. Our troops remained in possession of the trench unmolested for a short time after the enemy had retired. The batteries then opened, and knowing doubtless the precise range, we suffered severely from some of the shells, and the round shot also injured the new work, but not to any seri ous extent. After the cannonade had continued about half an hour a few skirmishers again approached the trench, no doubt in the expectation of finding it evacuated ; but, on discovering that we still maintained our posts, they beat a r recipitate retreat, aryl the men were no further inter fered with for the rest of the night. The total lees to the English in this affair was sixteen mep killed, and 29 wounded. While this struggle was going forward on the right a strong and sudden attack was mad* upon the lodgment which the French had effected in the Flagstaff Battery on the extreme left. Our allies appear to have been slightly taken by surprise, as, after a brief resistance, they were compelled to abandon their lodgment, and fall back upon the first breastwork, which they threw up immediately after the mine was sorting. They have thus, for the present at least, lost 80 feet of most im• portant ground, but they speak confidently of being able to regain it tonight, and of this I believe there is little doubt. The fire during to-any has been very 141ack on both sides, and it is mumps I that each gun of the allies is to lbe still further cut down from 30 to 10 rounds per day. The Russians fired very few guns from their south works to-day, but the north ride, on the contrary, tired heavily. Amur. 21. The attack on the rifle-pits on the night of the 19th was more aavere in its re•n to than was at first supposed ; 2 officers and 21 men were killed, and I officers and 30 men, it is oao, are woundefl. Last night another attack was made npon the second rift,' pit. At the first syrnptom of our advance the Rus sians fled with precipitation, and abandoned their pilot to our men, who instantlyoccup'ed it. Later in the night a considerable number of the enemy's skirmishers came down, and between them and our men in the pits come hot volleys were exchanged. A desultory skirmishing fight .was maintained in this manner for three or four hours, when the Russians, having unstained considerable loss, again withdrew. In this affair our casualties were heavy, but by no means equal to the loss of the night before. AR yet I have heard of no officer being either killed or wounded. Last night orders were sent down to measure the steamers in Rataklava, to a.certain the stowage for troops. It is rumoured that an expedition to Yalta is intended, so as to take the Russian defences round Tchourgoum in the rear. THE TURKISH ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. TURRTBII CAMP, HEIGHTS ABOVE BALAIKUVA, April 20th.—Yesterday the Turkish corps gave the first signs of its existence here by taking part in a reconnaissance, which was undertaken towards the valley of the Tcliernaya._ They took one day's provi.ions with them, and they march, d down in milenco towards ll*lnklava. When ar rived there they halted for a moment, and then began to ascend the steep mountain road which lo3nini up to the heights on, tine east of Balaklava. After having passed the last sentinel on the road the avant.-g• info. formed of the Cbasseurs and a battalion of t h e 6th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Ogil• vie, advanoed carefully, exploring the country and (*- copying the heights on both aides of the road, whilst the rest of the infantry, the mountain guns, and half a rocket battery which had been lent by the French, fol lowed in a long line. - The avant garde halted on the slope on which the mud divides, and Omer Paciha, with hit 4 staff, came up, in company with General Egteourt. The road to the right was explored, but no trace of the enemy seen any At the village of Kamara, near the church, a squadron of Cossacks—the first trace of the enemy—were seen lounging about in careless security, from which they were awakened by the sound of a feW rockets which were sent down among them, a'id which induced them to retreat towards a solitary mamelon, situated behind Kamara, towards the ri ver b e d o f t h e Tchernaya. The Chasseurs were sent down and occupied the church and the wall around it. Their tirailleurs took up a position along the Woronzow-road, which runs close behind the village. At the same time our cavalry was seen to ap proach from Balaklava m two columns. The English cavalry, with the 10th Hussars in front forming the nght, and the French and Turkish cavalry forming the left. The Russians did not wait for them, hut slowly re• tired over the Tehernaya and occupied the road leading up behind the village of Tchorgoum. The Chasseurs followed them down to the river, where the Cossacks, who, contrary to their habits, had scarcely fired a shot, gave a harnilese volley. As there seemed to have been no intention to push for ward the reconnaissance' the order for retreating was given, and the troops marched back through the plain, bringing with them three lances, ono of which was pointless, which bad been left behind, besides a quantity of salad which was found in the church of Kamara. The Chaaeeursi d'Afriquo, with their usual carefulness, took likewise wood with them from the hovels of the Couacks. it is rumoured to-day, in the Turkish camp, that the Cossacks have been more successful, as they ca ught All English ccommissariat&ler. who, with two companion. , had remained aft er th e w i t hd rawa l o f t h e t ro op'.

It is mere self-delusion to talk of peace now. We must make up our minds to fight it out with a stout heart and a strong hand. The people have been disgusted, and with reason, with the mismanagement of the army; but, though these things have roused their indtg nation against our Ministers, they have, so far as we are aware, done nothing tow ar d s l ower i ng the i r sp i r it or their well merited confidence in the courage and resources of the nation. When we look at their 'mismanagement we may in deed feel shame, but when we regard our own conduct we have nothing to blush for. The people of this country undertook the war on a clear and 'well-defined principle, from Which they, at least, have never shrunk or wavered. They have undertaken the burdens of fresh taxation without a murmur, and relieved the wants of our neglected army with princely munificence. All that we have lost has been from causes clearly preventible. Our men were sent to Derno in despite of warnings of its deadly malaria. Starvation, over work, exposure, want of medicine, want of medical comforts —nay the very shipwrecks themselves —were all occasioned by causes within our own ecntrol, and which, if we could only rescue ourselves from the deadly incubus which oppresses us, need never return again. We have never met the enemy but to conquer them, and inflicted upon them losses and die. graces such as broke the proud sprit of one Emperor and already throw a dark shadow far into the reign of his sue. eessor. We have shut up the Russian fleets, demolished at a blow the commerce of the country, and are at this moment spreading terror on the coasts of provinces which hundreds of thousands of men are deemed barely sufficient to protect. • Our ariby is in high discipline and full -f ardour—our navy desires nothing so much as an opportunity of arttinrtion. Weritave maintained ourse yes by our own strength and that of our ally for six months, under every possible disadvantage, in a position from which all the efforts of so many Generals and armies have been unable to dislodge us. Add to this the necessary derangement of the finances of a vast and poor country, called on for enormous pecuniary sacrifices and drained of its very heart's blood by the ever-increasing draughts of the conscription. Why should we despair with such a prospect ? Why tarnish our honour and lower our prestige by attempts to wheedle from our en my that peace which we must eventually be able to dictate on our own terms, and conciliate that support from timid and vacillating Courts, without which we are well able, by courage and per severance, to reduce our enemy to submission ? Let us have uo Ministers but those whose hearts are in the cause, no Generals, no Admirals, but those who really mean to win by the utmost exertions of courage and enterprise, and we need no shabby compromises, no discreditable and colourable con cessions. But, if we are determined to carry on war in a lukewarm way—if we are to think more of conciliating sup port than of winning battles—if we are to have Ministers who represent their own timidity and feebleness, instead of the manly and earnest spirit which animates the country,—theu, with or wi hunt Austria, with or without Prussia, with or without nego iatious and protocols, there is nothing for us but to descend from our high position among the nation., and confess that we are unable to fight for our rights, because we have not patriotism to form an honest, or courage to sup port a vigorous, Government. tVAti.AL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The French admiral h:oi his flag on the screw ship Tourville, and he has with him the Austerlitz and Duquesne, screw ships of the line, and the screw corvette D'Assas. THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON. Captain Bantle, of the Meander, 44, now in the Downs, was in town yesterday making preparations for proceeding at once to the White Sea, to commence operations on the Rus sians in that quarter. The Plia:nix, 9, screw, Commander Hayes, and Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Luco, accompany the Meander. The squadron is quite ready to depart as soon as Captain Bantle has received his orders. Doubtless In the White Sea, as well as in the Baltic, the enemy will be better prepared to meet us than they were last year. It would have been better, perhaps, if Captain Bantle had been supplied with a couple of gun-boats. LAND FORCES FOR TILE BALTIC. Orders have been issued for the line•of-battle-whips St. George, 120 ; Neptune, 120 ; Powerful, 14 ; Calcutta, 84, now lying at Spithead, under orders for particular service, to be held ready to 4.mbarli a division of the French troops from the encampment at Boulogne to co-operate with the allied fleet in the Baltic The Foreign Legion, eing embodied and trained at Heligoland, will also furnish about lu,OOJ men for this service. THE GLATTON FLOATING BATTERY. The rig of tle Glatton floating battery, now in 417 dock at Sheerness., has undergone a third alteration, considered more appropriate for taking her across the North Sea. She is not to take her armament on board until she arrives in the Baltic. Her iron plates for covering her deck will not be put on board until she gets up the Baltic. Much discussion has arisen among professional men as to the certainty of the iron plates, w h en expended from heat, drawing or breaking through their fastenings in taking their curve by expansion, the joints and butts being quite close. Au especial survey has been held by Adtniraby order. The most serious defect is the leaky state of the vessel, as a considerable removal of material must take place to ascertain the cause. The following gun•hoata are now in Sheerness harbour, wait ing orders for sea:—The Lark, Fancy, Ottcr,Weazol, Cracker, Clincher, and Boxer. There arc also in harbour the steam vessels Wildfire, Lizard, Myrtle, Janus, Porcupine, Fearless, Odin, and Rosamond. In dry dock, the Horatio and Glatton; in the basin the Trafalgar, Volage, and Cornwall.

The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington station, to consider some railway bills now before Parliament, promoted by other companies ; Mr. C. Russell in the chair. Mr. STEVENSON read the notice convening the meet ing', and the short titles of six bills submitted in com pliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. The CHAIRMAN explained that two out of the six bills were approved at the last meeting, and he was pre pared on the present occasion to submit only two more —the Cornwall and South Wales Bill. The bill relating to the Plymouth Great Western Docks contained no clauses in reference to the Great Western Railway Com pany, and they would therefore withdraw it. The bill for the extension to Brantford was not sufficiently ad vanced in Parliament to submit it to the koprietors, acid they would therefore have to adjourn the ineetiog to consider it on another clay. He concluded by moving a formal resolution approving a hill for extending the time for the completion of the Cornwall Railway and works, and for making further provisions as to its share capitol, and for leasing the line to the Great Western, Bristo'awl Exeter, and South Devon Railwaycompanies. Lord BARRINGTON seconded the motion, and it. was carlied unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a formal resolution, ap proving " a bill to consolidate and amend the acts re lating to the South Wales Railway Company, and to authorise the construction of new works and alterations of existing works anti for other purposes."
