Though fully sensible how far I fall short of what your representative ought to be, I feel persuaded that the opinions Which I hold are those of the majority of your body lam tot aware that there is any probability of a Candidate corning f orward who will represent these opinio ns except myself. I therefore presume to ask for your support. before stating my opinions, I wish it to be distinctly under- Stood that if I am elected, I must go to the discharge of my d itties unfettered by pledges ; which I hold to be unconstitu tional and mischievous. lain a sincere member of the Church of England, and I Consider it as the most important function of the University to educate the Clergy and Gentry , and through them all Classes, in the principles of true reli g ion. mu entirely free from all ties of party, and from party g 3ws • My opinions generally are Liberal, but Conservative. he ability and judgment with which the affairs of the coun- IrY have been administered by the prese n t Government in host trying times would render me desirous to give them al * support. . On the question of War or Peace, it would be im p ossible for me, at this moment, to expr ess an y o p inion which the events of the next few .weeks might not modify. But I may 1 1 4 7, generally, that for the safety and honour of this coun *rj, and for the good of mankind, I earnestly hope that no S norts will bo spared to prosecute the war with vigour, until a solid and well-secured peace be obtained. And when such tlisace has been concluded, I trust that the Government of this country will never be allowed to suffer our military and establishments to fall to the low ebb to which they had `unic at the commencement of the present war. ,_I would gladly support such measures as would best enable 6 " University to carry out its own progressive improvement, ll.k!nt aid its efficiency as a great instrument of liberal educa- VT. I am, however, sincerely attached to the system of a raj' of independent colleges, free from all unnecessary ex ternal control or interference. I should he disposed to consider favourably any sound and Well-considered plan for giving to the University a real and to uplete representative system.

SOCIETY OF ARTS.—On Friday last was held, at the society's house in the Adelphi, a meeting of the repre sentatives from mechanics' and other institutions in union with the Society of Arts; the Rev. Dr. Booth F.R.S., chairman of council, in the chair. The discu sion at the meeting turned on the importance of clai teaching, and the necessity of active steps being taken to aid in the formation of classes at the several institu tions, to be followed by examinations as tests of progress, and by the issue to the candidates of trustworthy certi ficates of their acquirements, to serve, instead of the present delusive testimonials so heedlessly given, as passports to employment. After a very decided and general expression of opinion on the part of the repre sentatives in favour of a scheme of this kind to be un dertaken by the Society of Arts, the meeting separated. In the Court of Common Pleas on Saturday success ful application was made on behalf of Mr. H. Crickmer for a rule calling upon the Eastern Counties Railway Company to show cause why an injunction should not issue against them, upon the ground that they were car rying coals for the Norfolk and Eastern Counties Coal Company at a less prie than they charged to Mr. Crickmer. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, J. 6. At present the sanitary state of the army is most satisfactory. By an error of calculation, I stated in my last letter the amount of sickness as about 10 per cent. It does not exceed 6)t, or, at most, 7 per cent. There are particular corps which are less healthy ; thus, for instance, in one divi sion of the Army Works Corps there is consider able sickness ; the other is healthy. The difference between this year and last is very striking. To take the Light Division as an example ; it is about 6,500 strong, and has 433 sick, no cholera, and but a small proportion of serious cases. In December, 1854, there were 258 deaths in that division ; in December, 1855, there were only eight, and three of those were from wounds. Of course the absence of trench work duty goes for a good deal in this enormous difference, but not a little of it is also to be attributed to the shelter, warm clothing, and good food the army now enjoys. JAN. 7. A Greek has been for three days in confinement I at head-quarters on strong suspicion of being a spy. He was sent away from Karanyi last August, and warned not to come back. He lately returned to the Crimea with a French passport, but instead of remaining in the French lines went to Karanyi. He is to receive 25 lashes, and be sent home to his country, with due notice that if he shows himself here again he will be hung. There has been considerable excitement during the past week among the masters and officers of transports in Balaklava harbour on account of the second officer of the Star of the South, a large steam transport of 1;890 tons, haying been logged by the Provost-Marshal. It appears that he was taken to theguard-house on Sunday night last by a police man, who charged him with being drunk. He had resisted capture, and his clothes were torn and soiled in the struggle. The next morning Captain Frayne, of the Star of the South, and Capt. Cham pion, of Her Majesty's steam transport Melbourne, went to the Guard-house to intercede for him, and to request he might have a hearing, as he denied having been drunk, and said he could produce wit nesses to prove his sobriety when taken up. Their efforts, however, were in vain, and he received 18 lashes ; and one of the two transport captains hav ing been overheard by a soldier to remark to his companion that this was brutal treatment, he was threatened with the like if he did not go on board his ship. A complaint was made to Admiral Fre mantle, and some correspondence has taken place on the subject between the naval and military authorities and Captains Champion and Frayne, who, as highly respectable men, holding very re sponsible situations, and well known to and es teemed by many officers out here, naturally feel aggrieved by the menace of a disgraceful punish ment. The second mate's friends deny that he was drunk. It appears that he stutters, which may have contributed to a mistake as to his state. How ever, whether drunk or sober, his case is a hard one, for, besides the lashes, he loses his situation, which he at once gave up, feeling himself disgraced and that he could not in future expect respect from the crew. The office of Provost-Marshal in Balaklava is an arduous one, and the officer who now fulfils its duties does so, I have been assured, in an efficient and satisfactory manner. Without severe measures it would be impossible to maintain order among the motley floating population of Balaklava. In the above case, if the mate was drunk, the Provost- Marshal did not exceed his duty, although per haps a preliminary investigation might have been allowed when asked for by the prisoner's own captain, who was ready to speak to his subordi nate good conduct during many months that he had been under his command. I believe the correspondence I have' referred to is not yet brought to a close, but I think it unlikely, from obvious reasons, that it will lead to anything. The affair is to bo regretted, especially if it should re sult (as it is to be hoped it will not) in a bad feel ing on the part of the transport service towards the officers of the army. There are few military men in the Crimea but have been frequently on board transports, and indebted for many little acts of attention and kindness to their captains and offi cers. The Star of the South and the Melbourne have been long out here, and long commanded by their present captains. Mr. Doyne, chief superintendent of the Army Works Corps, goes to England this week, to urge upon the Government the necessity of a different organisation of that useful establishment. It is considered desirable, I understand, both by Gen. Codringtou and Mr. Doyne that, before another campaign opens, a greater control should be esta blished over the corps than is afforded by the agree ments the officers and men have signed, and which do not bring them under the action of military law. There is consequently no sufficient check on them in case of insubordination, and the want of power of restraining and punishing them might prove not only inconvenient but perilous, should they be called upon to march with the army in the spring. JAN. 8. To-day wo have a gale from the south. The snow is rapidly melting away from the plateau, and the ground is in the transition state from the dry and crisp to the deep and muddy. To-day it is simply sloppy ; to-morrow—unless another shift of wind brings hack the frost—it will doubtless be in that agreeably tenacious state so often described, hut the abominations of which mock the most vivid description. I have received letters from Kertch up to the 4th inst. Nothing note-worthy had occurred since the cavalry skirmish in which Captain Sherwood lost his life. The severe frost which set in on the night of the 17th of December lasted up to the 3d inst., when there was a slight thaw. The Contingent and other troops were well supplied with warm clothing, and set the cold at defiance. The Turks were contented, well-behaved, and in excellent health. I lately saw, by the by, in a London newspaper some very gross mis-statements respecting the Contingent, which my information, derived from various sources, enables me to con tradict. The troops were said to be still under canvass when the snow set in. The truth is, that they were hutted almost immediately on arrival, and long before the snow commenced. Rape, rob bery, and plunder were said to be the order of the day, and what remains of Kertch was represented to Abe in rapid process of destruction at the hands of General Vivian's soldiery. These assertions are completely false. One of that General's first acts on arrival was to put a stop to spoliation. The account of Major Guernsey's affair is also incorrect. The facts of that unpleasant business were as fol low :—Major Guernsey was Provost Marshal ; he saw three men coming out of a house with empty bottles, and without inquiry attempted to take them prisoners. Two escaped ; the third he oap tured, and flogged him without further investiga tion. Flogging him at all was contrary to the ex press agreement with the Turkish Government, by which it is stipulated that the Turks shall be punished by their own laws and customs (much more severe, by the way, than those of the British service). The Turks shouted " Help to a Mussul man !" The cry was promptly responded to, and Major Guernsey would have been probably mur dered had not assistance come. It was for his con duct in this affair that he was sent home. Capt. Hall, of the navy, is also dragged iu for censure, and accused of riding Government horses. The horses Capt. Hall rides are his own. Gen. Vivian's staff is said to be inefficient, and to have been se lected merely because the officers composing it be longed to the Madras Presidency—Gen. Tivian's old presidency. On the General's personal staff there is no Madras officer. On the Head-quarter's staff there are four Madras officers, three Queen's officers, one Bengal officer, and the highest posts are filled by the Queen's officers—General Michel, C. 8., who is Chief of the Staff ; Co). Graham, Military Secre tary, and Colonel Morris, C. 8., Deputy-Quarter master-General. I have not time, nor would it be worth while, to dissect minutely and disprove the mis-statements and distortions of truth of which the letter in question is composed. They are so nume rous and systematic as to give the letter, which 18 entirely unworthy of consideration, the appearance of having been written by some disappointed or dismissed officer. ss ol)u.dinTgb captain and mate, The crew were Sligo men.

Up to last week, wherever one went nothing was to be heard but wailing over the fall of Kars, and a burst of indignation at the supineness, want of skill, and even sincerity of the Generalissimo. Howevfr freespoken the Turkish people in general may be, their officials cannot be accused of want of discretion. The sudden rise and fall of political influences teach them caution, and, whatever may be their private opinion, they never express it, unless they are sure not to be compromised by it. The general expression of discontent was, therefore, an infallible barometer, indicating that a storm was brewing against the Sirdar Ekrem in the highest quarter, and that his disgrace was more or less a fait accompli. The sending of Halim Pasha, known not to be too par tial to him, to Batoum to make an inquiry into the state of things there, the councils of war, which showed their disapproval of the plan of Omer Pasha's operations by adopting a new one, and the committee of inquiry formed for the affairs of Anatolia in general,—all these circumstances told the same tale. Besides all these, signs of Omer Pasha's approaching, or rather decided dis grace, were evident already at a time when we were still uncertain whether he would not reach Kutais, and thus secure a base of operations to wards the interior of the Transcaucasian provinces for next year, Since last week a change has come over this dark cloud which threatened to obscure the • Sirds- Ekrem's political fortunes in Turkey. The faces of Ca arkulsh affi uials haVe assumed again_their stereo typed placid expression, and they have found that Omer Pasha was not so much to blame, after all ; the committee of inquiry, which was no secret before, was denied,—at least every one pleaded ignorance of it ; all the confidential insinuations about the Generalissimo's recall suddenly ceased, and the whole intention of laying open the secrets of the fall of Kars seemed entirely forg otten. Yet all this change was made with such a bad grace that there could be no doubt of its having been the consequence of pressure from without, and not that of a conviction acquired by a better know ledge of facts. As the change took place just after the arrival of the two British commissioners, civil and military, who had accompanied Omer Pasha's army into Mingrelia, it was natural to suppose that this arrival was connected with it, especially as it was well known that Colonel Simmonds, the mili tary commissioner, having taken a prominent part in the direction of the military operations, was in clined to represent them under the most favourable light. But, in order not to jump to an unwar ranted conclusion about the nature of the influence exerted, I must say a few words upon the foreign influence in Turkey, which is so often misrepre sented in Europe. Since first the intricate question of Turkish poli tics attracted the attention of Europe we have heard of nothing else but English, French, or Rus sian influence. Such a Turkish official was the bumble servant of such a foreign Minister ; such another wished to uphold himself by the influence of such an Ambassador ; such another was sold to such a Court ; and political combinations and spe culations were based on these premises, which turned out true or fake as the case might be. 411 this time it was assumed that political influence in Turkey was nothing else but a stake played for by the Ambassadors of the great Powers, who were thus trepresented as the promoters of every step taken in the maze of Turkish politics. The fact of the matter was that we looked through our own medium, and entirely ignored the quiet but powerful action of native influence=, be cause we could not see them so plainly. And yet it is these influences which must account for most of the fanciful eddies in the turbid stream of Turkish politics. Foreign influence certainly does exert itself, and, owing to the peculiar position of Turkey since the beginning of the war, it has in some cases, for instance in the question of the oc cupation of the Principalities by Austria, imposed itse'f in spite of the opposition of all native influ ences ; but, as a general rule, even at the present moment, it does not exist independently, but only as far as it allies itself with one or other of the in digenous powers which strive for supremacy in the Turkish Government. These native influences are three—the court, the civil, and the military government. I don't count what is usually spoken of as the old Turkish party. Such a party, exerting political influence, does not exist. It is one of the many bugbears on whose shoulders, of unknown breadth, it is often conve nient to heap a goodly lot of peccadilloes and dis appointments. With the exception of a very few white or green turbaned old gentlemen, from whom it would be rather too much to expect a change of views which they have entertained for more than half a century, everybody sees and feels that changes are required, and must be made, or else the whole structure will fall to pieces. But a diffe rence exists between• the discretion of these refor mers as it is understood in Europe and in Turkey. Europe wants to make a fac-simile of itself in the East, whereas here there is a desire to modify Western ideas according to the Eastern character and the existing differences. In one word Europe wants to proceed in the reforms theoretically,— the Turks historically. This difference of opinion is the origin of what is called the old Turkish party; but it is wrong to call it party, because it comprises the whole nation, without, perhaps, any exception. There remain, therefore, only three influences which exert themselves actively in the course of Turkish politics. They are the influences which make themselves felt in every State, as they are inherent in the nature of every Government. Naturally in a despotic State like Turkey the Court influence, if exercised cleverly, will always more or less carry the day. The strict line of demarcation which has been drawn since the reforms of Sultan Mahmoud between civil and military power in Turkey has, on the other hand, favoured the development of a t co ntrast between the two. It is in this c ontrast what may be called politic al life in Turkey comes into play. Each of the two parties, civil and military, tries to win the ear of the Sovereign through the influence of the third party, and the secondary influence of the foreign Powers. A look at the leaders of the two rival influences will show the truth of this statement plainer than anything else,—Redschid and Aali Pasha are on one side ; Chosrew, Riza, and Mehemed Ali Pasha on the other. When the ideas of the former were supported by the Western Powers the latter sought help in Russian influence, and before the war the position was clearly enough defined,—the civil government of Turkey represented by Redsclaid Pasha, allied with the Western Powers, and the military government represented by Riza Pasha, supported by Russia. Since the beginning of the war the withdrawal of Russian influence and the momentary sacrifice of individual interests to the dignity of the empire threw the parties into confu sion, out of which they are now beginning to emerge. The influence of the Court party comes now more and more into play, and it is through this that the rival parties strive to carry their point. The first object to be obtained in this direc tion is the union of the three military departments —the Seraskierate, the Ordnance, and the Navy-- in the hands of men of the same opinions and interests. wan or tunity for a who should trial of strength. The que stion bear the blame—Omer Pasb a, for not having su pplied or the Government, him wit h the means to in sure success. If the for mer was decided, the The fall of Kars was a goo d o pp Go vernment would have its own man at the head of the best part of the army ; if the second, there was a chance of getting the Seraskierate out of the hands of Mehmed Ruschdi Pasha and giving it to mer Pasha remains i K ars , h a hor u s hed—K i sm e t , s hn buteodw—s itwK s i o s m e elts verys' , MgaeinhemdeidtsAolbi jeocrtosntehoorfohuigshalylli;eos. Until now neither one nor the other party has the allies, the weather, and and Mehmed Ruschdi Pasha remains. The inquiry are responsible for the fall of likely some of the smaller culpables will b e se i ze d upon and suffer for all. Europe will not be much wiser, and things will go on pretty much the same way as before. And yet Europe has the right to know who are the guilty. The question concerns not only Kars and its heroic defenders—it is one concerning the whole management of the Eastern war. What is the use of gaining victories on one side if we are exposed on the other by a mismanagement which is hushed up like a family concern ? It is at the same time nothing but fair to the individuals who were implicated in this transaction that such questions should be asked as " Who prevented the Turki se Contingent from being sent to Asia ?"' Whose fault was it that Kars was unprovided, or that diversion in Mingrelia had so little success V' The re -assembling of Parliament will, it must be hoped, bring forward explanations on this dark subject. In the meantime it will perhaps be of interest to General Williams's letters al twat - the wretched state in which Kars and in gene rat the ,defences on the Anatolian frontiers were fo rand left ' no„doubt that the-invested town could nc it hold. ou t or re pulse single-handed the Russian ;army. Lord Strat ford proposed, th e refore, to Gen.aral Vivia n th at h e should go th ere w ith th e C o ntin gent. The Gene ral willingly acceded to the proposition, anxious, as he was, t o s h ow b y a success that th e ask which he had undertaken—the formation of the Turkish Contingent —was feasible ; • bat before he couli make any arrangements it was necessary to have some knowledge of the ground o ti which he was to operate ; he sent, therefore, General Smith,•late of the Bashi-Bazouks, to look at it. The report of this latter was that with the force which the Con tingent then numbered—namely, 8,000 men or so —no successful diversion for the relief of Kars could be made. General Vivian therefore applied to Lord Stratford to have the number of the Con tingent raised to 10,000 men, and said that then he was ready to undertake the task. The Turkish Government, to whom the proposition' was sub mitted, made some difficulties about the completion of the Contingent, but expressed its readiness to place_ other troops under the command of General Vivian, or any other General, so as to make up the number to 35,000 or 40,000 men. This proposition was likewise accepted by Lord Stafford and Gene ral Vivian ; the proposal was sent home, and re peatedly urged, but the answer of the English Go vernment arrived, which was to stop all proceedings in the matter. Through what influence this answer was returned we don't know here, but that it was the English Government from whom the refusal proceeded I believe to be a fact. Another question which has been mooted in con sequence of the fall of Kars and the ill-success of Omar Pasha's expedition in Mingrelia is the work inc, of the Loan Commission. If Omar's army was 0 ill-provided, why did the commission not overlook formalities and supply the sinews of war 7 The Tlmmission arrived here in the benaing of Sep -4....,ber, but the money did not arA g io until 4bout s month later, Nevertheless,4,-,he 1 . lutmosion, set Id once to work to establish, lll ' caoth:erl Ivith the Ambassadors of France and England, the basis of their control ; it was impossible to give money for the expenditure of which they were responsible without some preliminary arrangements about the nature of the control they were called upon to exercise. Besides, the Turkish Government made no application to them for money until much later, —at any rate, too late for the relief of Kars. In order to establish the nature of their control, a project was given in by the two commissioners, with the approval of the two Embassies. This pro ject elicited a counter-projeot from the Turkish Government ; this latter again a counter-project from the commission. All this would have been done, however, in a few days had it not been for the Turkish official slowness, which put off the thing from day to thy, and thus several weeks were lost. The propositions of the commission were—first, that a kind of statement cf the finances should be given in order to know what the re sources of the country were able to bear without foreign aid ; secondly, that a kind of voucher should be given to show that the money had been really paid ; and, thirdly, that all the principal contracts should be brought to the knowledge of the commission before they were concluded. The stumblingblocks were the two last condi tions. To the first of these it was objected that it was not the usage in Turkish affairs to have any vouchers, which it is not difficult to believe. The point, however, has been more or less settled by the declaration that the commission would be satis fied with any vouchers which the Turkish Govern ment could give. The last point is at this moment unsettled, and yet it is of no small importance, as you will best see by an example. There is an un wieldy thret -decker in the arsenal called the Mahmoudie, which the Ministry of Marine, in its budget, which it submitted to the commission, proposes to have converted into a screw liner, at I don't know how many thousand pounds of expense, to be paid out of the loan. Now, besides that we know by experience the converting even of very good sailing men-of-war into screw steamers is a very hazardous experiment, it is not so much screw line-of-battle ships as transp-rt power which is required from the Turkish navy at the present moment, when the greater part of the Russian Black Sea fleet lies at the bottom of the harbour of Sebastopol. This will show how necessary it is to put a check on the fancies of a Turkish Minis ter who is intent upon shining is his depart ment. It is especially the Ministry of Marine which seems to indulge in them, and it i 3 very likely due to this circumstance that the Govern ment of Constantinople has determined to keep the accounts of each Ministry separate, whereas until now it was the Ministry of Finance whcih was charged with all of them. In spits, of these difficulties, which are still pending, the commis siln has taken upon itself, without any material guarantee in its hands, to pay the Turkish Govern ment neatly a million of money, so that, with the 600,0001. which the Rothschilds advanced, they have got 1,500,0001. It would be thus scarcely fair to charge the Loan o,mmission with unwil lingness to interpret liberally their instructions ; but, at the same time, they are responsible for the expenditure of the money, and cannot run blindly into it. On the other hand, we must not be too hard upon the Turks. It is their first step in financial trans actions of a European character. They are asked to give a statement of their expenditure since the beginning of the war ; they give it. I sent you an extract of it some time ago ; it is, I think, not bad for beginners. I have seen since then some of the enclosures, which are, of course, too voluminous to have ge neral interest. I therefore call your attention only to the first, which is given by, the Ministry of Fi nance, and is said to contain the-general accounts. From the wording one would conclude that this general statement comprises the expenditure of all the departments. But this is not the case, as I know, since I have seen the enclosure. It con fines itself to the expenditure of the War, Navy, and Ordnance Departments. It is impossible to judge what the internal resources of Turkey are able to bear until we know what the other depart ments absorb, and whether part of this expendi ture cannot be applied to the expenses of war, or other internal resources created ; but for the mo ment all we must expect is that the proceeds of the loan should be applied exclusively to the pur poses of war. Letters from Trebizondo speak of the continued arrival of Turkish troops, especially Egyptians, from Eupatoria. They are destined for Erzeroum, but the communication is now impassable for troops, and they will probably have to remain in Trebizonde until the weather changes a little. The accounts from the interior speak of caravans dispersed by snow storms and of wanderers lost in the drifts. Mr. Murray is said to have passed the Persian frontier on his way to Mossoul. All attempts at mediation made by M: Bouree, the French Ambas sador, failed. The Persians are anxious to bring their oause from their own point of view before the British Government. Having no Ambassador in London, th e y submitted their whole correspon dence to Lord Stratford, to have it sent home to his Government. They are said, at the same time, to have asked for the mediation of the Turkish Go vernment • b u t this is an on dit which cannot b e implicitly 'believed. That they are anxious to have the difficulty arranged as soon as possible can , however, scarcely be doubted. One of the most curious features in this affair is that the Per sians look upon it as a personal quarrel with Mr. Murray, which does not affect their relations with the British Government. The Gazette of Teheran has a paragraph in this respect, in which it dis tinctly states that this lamentable quarrel will not at all affect the strict neutrality which the Persian Government has hitherto observed on the Eastern question. BRUTAL MURDER Of A WIPE AT BATIL—BATI, Jan. 21.—Considerable excitment has been produced in the lower part of this city, in consequence of the murder, under circumstances of the most revolting brutality, of a poor woman named Eliza Howell, the wife of an itine rant vendor of oysters and fish. The parties resided in Avon-street, one of the lowest parts of this city, and Howell himself has borne the reputation of beings man of exceedingly violent temper. His unfortunate wife was, at the time of her death, vi de / vie, and within a very few days of her confinement; so that, in one sense, the murder may be said to have been a double one. On Saturday the husband went out with his oysters as us ua l , and while upon his rounds drank o'clock at night, having become partiallly At about 9 y intoxicated, he proceeded to his home , where he had been but a short free. time before he commenced a quarrel with his unfortn nate wife.
