BEFORE SEB/NSTOPOL, Nov. 22. Great will no doubt be you 4 surprise, and not less strong your indignation, at receiving with the present letter my correspondence which should have appeared days ago. At the present rnonint, when events of the utmost importance are succeeding one another with such startling rapidity, a delay of five days may be attended with incalculable cow equences. lii five days the fate of the Crimea might be decided, and the happiness of many a fimily at home might in the same brief interval r have received a death-blow. Yet it is at this period, when the British nation is following with throbbing earnestness every step in the deadly struggle before Sebastopol, and when the touching anxiety of parents and relatives at home is at its pitch, that the greatest postal irregularity is experienced, and the grossest negligence displayed. I have hitherto purposely refrained from passing strictures on the many short comings we have witnessed from the period the exptulitkn first land , d on thoß, s h ores . I h a ve well understood the ritauy difficulties our chiefs have had to contend with—difficuitic s w hi c h s h ou ld h are curbed that bitter spirit of criticism which has manifested i ,sOl - with so much bad tast,c--not hut at Lorne, The repeated and inexcusable negligence displayed in the mail service has at length attained a most reprehen sible point, and it is imperative that the real state of matters be unveiled to the public. This irregularity in the despatch of letters from the Crimea will probably at home be attributed Neither negligence or faulty arrange. ments on the part of the postal authorities. It is not so. The arrangements of tho post-office are com plete, and the whole blame lies with the naval au thorities. Th.. system established by the General Post-office in London, and carried out by Mr. Smith, the postmaster to the forces in the Crimea, is as follo ws : —E ver y fi ve days a mail is made up at the office in Balaklava. Bags are made up for Scutari arid Constantinople, and for London. The latter are taken on to Marseilles by the French steamers, which leave Constantinople every five days. 'The naval authorities are charged with the transport of the bags from Balaklara to Constantinople. Let me now illustrate, by a few facts, the great negli gence which characterises this department. The bags containing letters up to the 13th inst. were made up on that day at the Balaklava Post-office, and no steamer arrived to convey them to Constantinople. The conse quence was that the Marseilles boat started without them, and the British public were deprived of their cor respondence. If the weather on that day had been stormy, I should not have mentioned this case ; but, on the contrary, the sea was calm. On that day the Samp son arrived, and likewise the Caradcc ; consequently no excuse can be offered. The previous mail from the Crimea arrived at Constantinople 24 hours too late for the French steamer; but this was owing to unfavourable weather, which prevented the Arrow from accomplishing the dis tance in time. But now that the bad season has set in, and the navigation of the Euxine is rendered difficult, could not the steamers accelerate their departure from the Crimea by a few hours, and thus contrive to catch the Marseilles packet ? The bags of the mail preceding this (the 13th instant) were conveyed to Constan tinople by her Majesty's steamer Triton. Although the respective bags were distinctly marked and ticketed those intended for Scutari and Constantinople were thrown with the London bag into the French steamer, and conveyed to Marseilles. In this case negligence and stupidity were equally displayed. You were deprived of your telegraphic despatches, and the invalids at Scutari of their letters. Throughout the campaign the naval authorities have shown an unexpected spirit of egotism as far as the management of the mails is con cerned. For instance, on the 18th instant two mails arrived together from England. The whole array were impatient to receive their letters, knowing that the bags had arrived at the fleet. In fact, the Sampson had arrived at Balaklava on the morning of the 186, bring ing letters for the men-of-war in the harbour, but none for the army, although nothing could have prevented that steamer from doing so, had the authorities wished to be just and agreeable to the army. The Caradoo brought the bags in the evening, too late for distribu tion, consequently the army received their letters only the next day, or forty-eight hours after the fleet. Some attention should be directed at home to this negligence and want of system, While engaged on the sul t ject of postal rnisarrange nsents, I may add that the French post-office at Karnish B:ty is not conducted in a manner calculated to please ' the authorities at Paris, The gentleman at the head of this ofliee has not displayed to his British colleague at Bal rklava. that friendly assistance which might have been expected. Bags of unpaid letters remain at Kamish for days without that fact being communica led at Balaklava, although our postmaster has never hesitated to acquaint at once the French post office on a similar occasion. I was myself witness to the following act :—The British postmaster had sent over an assistant to claim these letters, but be found that their number exceeded what had been expected, and that , ho was deficient by some pounds of the sure required to take up the wise!. packet. The French postmaster refused to credit the British office with the miserable SUM required, and only gave up the letters which could be actually paid for. These petty annoyances, which impede the regularity of our postal arrangements, will no doubt meet proper attentioa in France. A great many letters which have been franked in England, and sear legibly on their face the stamp "paid," are re charged by the French post-office, to the reasonable an noyance and wrath of the recipients. It seems a very harsh measure which is adopted towards the officers and crews of our transport service. Although these form, te every intent and purpose, a part of the expedition, and run every risk, as w as w i tnessed on the coas t l as t week, in the performanc e o f the i r duty, still they do not enjoy the postal pri v il eges of the army an d fleet. The letters for the tran s p ort service, instead of b e i ng charged 31, are liable to th e w h ole French rate, an d this cer tainly sloes seem an illiberal measure. I seriously recom men d the public at home a lways to prepay their lett ers t o the arm or stamps, assuming or the fleet. This t he y can do by the mean s o f three the letter to be und er a quarter of an ounce . Their letters will then be d e li vered without delay to their cor respondents, and run no danger of miscarrying . The letters that are unp a id , b esides being charged with B d. •r 13d. under a q uarter of an ounce (a most eccentric option on the part o f th e French), are liab l e t o be de tained for many day s at Kamish Bay. Th e refore, by all p means prepay lett ers and newspapers for the Crimea. Unpaid newspapers are sent via Southampton , and stand a very good c h ance of arriving some two months after all interest i n th e i r contents has ceased. Th e late Southampton mail b rought the very interest i ng accoun t of the fall of Bomarsund. -- BEFORE SEB/STOPOL, Nov 22.—The siege truing en longuer and is becomi ng We hear every day that the French are going to storm the place, and that the names of volunteers hommes de b" ne diablentent monotone. volonte, have been sent in to head-quarters ; but never theless we are in etatu quo The firing of late h as been slack ; there has generally. however , been some so rt o f an attack between the French and the Russians at night, but with no results of conse once ai musketry - fi rin g in the dark can be but very uncertain in its effect. The Russians have evid ently been acting more on the de fensive s ince the sth inst. They have entrenched their camp opposite to the Inkerman heights, and have been busy daring the l as t t h ree nights in erect i ng a b a tt i s in front of the round tower which is opposite to the second brigade of the light division ; they have also strengthened the position bet ween the tow er and the redan, and have loophooled with sandbags, for musketry fire, the ditch or earthwork leadiog between ' these two fortifications. They are also bus y at work at the Star Fort, above the north aide of the harbour. The walls seem very thick, and from the amount of earth thrown up the ditch must be very deep ; the slope is beautifully finishes ; and al together it appears to be a formidable position, from which they will be able to shell us when we get into the town. A. Polish officer gave himself up as a deserter a few days s i nce, and reports that t h e Russians have had 25,000 men placed hors de combat since the battle of Inkerinan, and th a t th ey cann ot make out why we h ave net stun ne d th e town. It i s sa id th a t a R ussian doc tor came favor to the French en the same d a y, an d stated th a t t h ey were in a sad way from the want of medical men, and that some of the weunded olt the sth had not even then had their wounds dressed. It is also reported that General Liiders, with a reinforce ment of 12,000 men, had arrived. I forgot to mention that the Pule said that they never could get the Rus sians to advance upon us again as tkey did on the sth ; there is no doubt that they were half-drunk, like as they were on their first attack on the 26th October. An officer told me that he saw a Russian fall down en the sth from sheer drunkenness. On the 18th inst. an officer came out from the redan, in front of our Frenchman's-hill, with a flag of truce, and was met by one of our officers in tke advanced work. The Russian was the bearer of a letter from Lieutenant Duff, of the 23d Fusiliers, who bad been taken pri soner on the sth. He had sent for his clothe s and money, anal meetiuned that he was comfortable and we ll tra ated. A great many French have landed >ince I wrote to you, and a great somber ewre are drily expected. The 97th Re,:iu►en`, which is about 1,000 strong, arrived on the 20th ; also the Queen of the South, with detach ments of the 7th Fusilier. the 23.1 and 95th Regi►vents and the Guards. Some Turks landed yesterday. There was a smart skirmish on the evening of the 20th, in front of Green-hill battery. Our Rifles were sent out to drive away some Russian sharpshooters who had established themselves in some hides, fr,..)in whence they could enfilade our advanced parties. I ant sorry to say that Lieut. Tryon, of the Rifle brigade, was shot on this occasion. The Russians were driven out, and next morning attacked our people, who had established themselves it] the said hales, but were repulsed. Lord William Paulet has been appointed colonel on the staff, and has the command of all our troops in the Dardanelles, Bosphorus, or Scutari. The Hon. Captain John Jocelyn Bourke, 88th Regiment, is to be his aide de-camp. The 46th Regiment, which arrived last week, are suf. The Moniteur de l' Armee publishes the following from an officer of the Ist division before Sebasto pol : " The works of the lines are Leing carried on actively. We are fortifying with a prodigality of prudence, even in the opinion of the engineers, the plateau we occupy. We began by separate work., redoubts, redaes, and batterii s ; we afterwards united these works by a first iine which is near the coast ; then we placed a barn icr on the road of the defile of Belaklava, with other de fences ; and at present a e are making a second lice, nearer the crest, in the rear of the filet hire of circuits vallation. Our position, naturally superb, Leconres im pregnable. Our principal guards are, stationed in the whole length of it, and at night they send forward skir mishers. The Russian army can see all these works of defence. Since the 25th ult., the day of the affair of the redoubts, it has not changed its place. Its squadrons seem to be made of wood, so immovable are they. More unlucky than we are, the poor fellows have no tents. The Russian arary is imitating us ; it is throw ing up entrenchments I) ,, tween and it line of re treat, the road of Simpherepel. It forms an angle, one side of which 4 .,sce,i our camp, and the other is on the Tchernaya. On the 9th :Anne liattalion3of Ist Wei.) taken to' the field of bi-ttle on the iith. From the position they occupied, tee, ee re levirtA tv go there. The entire camp of the English had to be passed through. The troops passed the night, one bat talion working three hours at a redoubt, whilst another was on the watch, and so on in turns. This redoubt has been thrown up in the midst of the wood which forms the left bank of the Tehernaya, a wood through while the Russians advanced in the foggy morning of the sth. It will serve as a reserve to other works whieh are more advanced and lower down so as to command the bottom of the valley. The object of these works is to cut off the communications of the Russian army with the place. The road from the Tchernaya, being stopped, the Russians must make a long detour to take the val ley of Balbek. No doubt this precaution would have been taken a long time ago, had it not been for the al ready immense development of the Allied armies along the plateau from the heights south of Balaklava to the gates of Sebastopol —a development which requires a great number of troops in a dditi on t o th ose occup i e d i n the siege itself. The complete works of circumvallation and contravallation will be more than 20 kilometres, (124 English miles) in extent." The same letter says In the battle of Inkerman, the action on the ar rival of the French battalions assumed new and terrible vigour. It was a prolonged act of heroism, and all the actors in it were grand, sublime. The brave Colonel of the 6th regiment of the line, armed with a long clay more of the best tempered steel, which he wielded with both hands, struck right and left. Ile was always the first in the melee. A veritable Roland, he caused seven enemies to fall before him ; he was a terrible warrior, a colossus. His death recalls to mind the gigantic con flicts of the heroes of Ariosto. A brother of this noble soldier has just arrived, but instead of an elder brother, he has found a laurel for his name ! There remained ne the 10th on the field of battle more than 1,000 dead Russians unburied. They were almost all in a position in view of the roadsted of Sebastopol, which was swept by the guns of the Russian vessel the Twelve Apostles. As this vessel fired shells at our burying parties, we were obliged to wait for the night to continueour task." A letter from the Crimea, of the 29th, says : "Yesterday the Allied troops occupied a Russian re doubt after a sharp engagement. The besieged nude two attempts to retake it, but failed, and sustained nu merous losses. The preparations for lodging the soldiers continue ; 3,000 tents, each capable of containing 20 soldiers, have arrived from Constantinople, and a second supply is shortly expected. Almost all the steamers of the two fleets are employed in conveying from Sinope to the Crimea all the wood for building or for fire that they can find on the coast. The local authorities second these operations as well as they can. Before long pro bably the supplies will be sufficient for all the wants of the three armies.' The Turcos, or natives of Africa, re cently penetrated during the night into the camp of the Russian cavalry, and cut the halters of a number of the horses. The animals came towards the French troops, and 300 of them were taken. The Russians have suf fered greatly from the tempest of the 14th. The waves collected at the entrance of the port of Sebastopol, and broke with indescribable violence at the bottom of the port. It is rumoured that several Russian vessels went down ; also that the vessels sunk had been displaced. Within the last few days a young woman arrived in the Crimea to join her husband, a lieutenant in the let re giment of artillery. After a painful 1)w-sage of three months, the vessel on hoard which she was sunk, but the courageous woman jumped into the sea, and was rescued. She lost all that she possessed, but she had the joy of finding her husband !" DESPATCHES FROM GEN. CANROBERT AND ADMIRAL 11.A.MELliV. Tho Minister of War Las received the. follow ing report from General Canrobert, dated 28th ult. : " Monsieur le Mardelial,—The weather is improving, and this is a circumstance which is far from being with out interest for our operations. Al constant rain, and the state of the roads oa the plateaux where we are esta blished, had considerably augmented the difficulty in transporting provisions and materiel. A little sunshine is about to repair all and allow us to resume our work. with redoubled activity. The enemy turns to account these cessations oa our part, in order to increase his means of defence. Up to this time his principal objeci has been to intimidate us, and never was witnessed such a consumption of powder and ball. Our artillery calcu late that since our arrival under the walls of Sebastopol the enemy has fired 400,000 cannon shot, and con sumed 1,200000 kilogrammes of powder. Some idea may be formed front this of the supply that must have been for a long time accumulating in the place. We, however, remark that the Russian artillery is now more economical .in the fire, and particu larly in that of shells. The number of our killed and wounded does not exceed 15 a day. The army of Prince Menschikoff keeps on the defensive, and it appears that, until further orders, he has renounced the idea of undertaking anything against us. In the meantime our situation is improving in every way. Reinforcements are arriving, and our regiments of Zouaves as well as all those who are natives of Africa, present an ensemble the most satisfactory. Our supplies are abundant, and I am now able to distributed to the troops a daily ration of wine or brandy. This is a very important point, and will prevent much sickness. On the other hand, the winter clothing is arriving, and already the greatcoat with hood and the paletot of sheepskin, are numerous in our camps. The soldier will nobly and courageously support the trial of the bad weather, seeing himself the object of such care and solicitude on the part of the Emperor and his minister. The Turkish Government has promised me 0,000 conical tents, which are highly prized here, as they resist the violent wind so common in this country much better than ours. I can assure you, Monsieur le Marechal, that the army acqui re s rare s o l i dity, an d you cannot imagine to what a point our young men, sud denly impressed by the grandeur of the struggle, become old soldiers. You would not have seen without the most lively feeling •f satisfaction the lines drawn out, and remaining calm and immovable under a fire of ar tillery which Lord Raglan has declared to me was heavier than that which was heard at Waterloo. I give you these details, because they cannot fail to interest and at the same time to tranquillise you, and, in short, to show the confidence with which my troops inspire me. The new divisions will here find old ones who will set them a good example.—A ccept, &c." The Minister of Marine has received a despatch from Admiral Hamelin, dated the 28th ult., from which the following are extracts :--- "In the new phase of the siege the army, which had appreciated the excellence of the fire of our sailors, and the ravages occasioned by our heavy guns, has made a fresh appeal to the fleet. lam therefore engaged, at the desire of General Canrobert, in landing 55 heavy guns, most of which belonged to the Henri IV.

The Gassendi, which arrived here two days ago, will leave again to day for France, agreeably to your orders, after havi ng l an d e d her Zouaves at Kainiesh. A letter from the heights of Sebastopol of the 27th ult. states as follows : " General Canrobert 13.311 dent to Prince M ensc hik o ff the minstes of the inquiry held on the Russian Major whom an English court-martial sentenced to be him , fur having assass inated and cluserl othoi to assassinate the wounded on the fie!d of battle. The Prince was asked to sign the sentence, but he declined, alleging that he had strictly prohibited such acts of cruelty, but that it appertained to his own military tribunals only to eta blish the culpability. It is generally urinated that Men schikoff is an able adversary, brave, and obstinate. _His correspondence and his official reports, as they are known in the Allied army, cause him to be esteemed as a loyal enemy. His accounts of the battle of Alma and the first attacks of Sebastopol have au air of frankness, all the more meritorious that it is not usual among his countrymen. Decidedly the Prince was perfectly justi• 1 fled in turning into ridicule the boastful bulletins'of Osten-Sacken, end which he has not i m it a t e d . You can scarce have an idea in France of the deli g ht of our troopers when they put on their furs. They are as happy as children in their first gala dress, as sa il ors when tlie first put on boot. The poor fellows were previously ob liged to shelter themselves from the rain in the trenches by wearing their blankets knotted atout the neck in the form of an inconvenient cloak, and, when entering their tents, to sleep with the same covering, saturated as it was with water. Nov, at least, their beds will always be elry, With the object of preventing any fresh surprise on the part of the enemy, the shrubs and brushwood of the sides of the valley have been cut away. Some days ago some of our soldiers charged with that duty descended to the bottom of the precipice, and heard groaning in the fields inundated by the Teliernaya. They informed the officer that wounded men demanded succour. The Captain immediately sent out a section of his company on the search, in order to avoid any surprise on the part of the enemy, whose videttes were guarding the banks of the river. Shocking to relate, they found hid among the grass, and half submerged, three wounded Russians still living, and who had been abandoned by their offieere 13 days previously ;—they were bleeding, manned, and without any reeeuree. One of then. who was separated from the other, lied eaten the grass within his reach, after having coneernecl ail the black bread he I had in his haversack. The two others, more fortunate, lasi succeeded in dragging diteuselvee near five or six of their dead comrades, whose provisions they made use of. But, that supply 'exhausted, they also had begun to eat the grass. With the most }brutal obstinacy the Cos , sacks, who were stationed on guard for a week before near them, within reach of their voices, had refused to succour them. As maimed soldiers they were no longer in the eyes of their 'nesters but as useless serfs, and only fit to be left, ie :he, as ',cases no longer able to work. ' Our soldiers took up these poor creatures and carried them off. They gave them a little soup with a small quantity of eau-de-vie. They then covered them up in warm blankets and placed them near the fire, when they recovered the use of their limbs. In the course of an hour these half corpses, whose wounds had already be gun to. petrify, recovered their colour and a little of their strength. Completely re-assured on the point of the pagan barbarity which they were told was our charac teristic, they kissed the hands of our men. A Pole, be longing to the Foreign Legion, who happened to be pre sent, asked some questions of the poor men. They in formed him that their popes and their officers had as sured them that the pagan enemies of the Holy Church of the Autocrat caused the Russian prisoners to be put to the most frightful torture, and that such of the children of the Czar as died in the sacred war would mount straight to Paradise, unless they were in a state of sin, and in which case they would be again born in their own country." CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 30.—Within the last few days the hopes of the British in this city have revived, and there is a disposition to believe that the present year will see the successful termination of the great enterprise which in difficulty and danger has transcended all the expectations of the most experienced military judges. That which has reassured us more than anything is the news that large reinforcements are not only ordered to the seat of war, but that they are actually on their way, and that the next fortnight will probably see an addition of 30,000 men to the forces of the Allies. It is a great thing that the two nations are at last roused to a sense of the magnitude of the war in which they are engaged, and that the overweening self-confidence of the London and Parisian publics have given way to a juster estimate of the enemy's powers, both for aggression and defence. For several months the people of England and France had been accustomed to regard the Russian troops as men who would not stand a conflict with any enemy more powerful than Circassians and Tartars, and it was believed that their officers were as much wanting in skill as the men in courage. Although it is true that the superior energy and bodily strength of the British has on every occasion proved too much for the enemy in the open field, there can be no doubt that the Russians are endowed with an obstinacy and defensive courage which equal those of any other army in Europe. It seems that no idea is entertained of any serious attack until the place is entirely invested, for, according to all accounts, Sebastopol proper will be untenable unless the forts on the northern side are also in the hands of the Allies. That the place will fall before the end of the year is hardly pi obable, but that the steady perseverance of the Allies will be crowned with success is certain, if the two nations only put forth their strength. We shall no doubt have to fight some more battles, on a larger sc tie than either Alma or Inkerman, for the whole force of the Russian empire will no doubt be directed against us, and the fine army which has been concentrated In Poland will probably he in the Crimea in another six weeks. Est with 120,000 men the allies will be able to re pulse all attacks, and to early on the siege with regu larity and, final assurance of success. The enterprise is a greet one, and it is a matter not only of honour, but of safety for France and England, to carry it on to a prosperous conclusion. It is a kind of duel between the Western Powers and their adversary ; the world is looking on in silence and expectation, and now that we are fairly engaged all counsels as to the raising the siege and resting an the laurels of the Alum ought to be discarded at once. A letter has been addressed to the Ministers of the Porte by Omer Pasha, complaining of the manner in which his troops are neglected. It appears that the army in the provinces, which has done so much for Turkey, which defended the line of the Danube for half a year against the whole power of Russia, and which has been brought to a great state of efficiency by the genius of its commander, is now destitute of the com monest necessaries. That the soldiers have net re ceived their pay is comparatively a small matter, for to that they are accustomed, and no soldiers will more easily forego the little luxuries which are requisite to keep soldiers in good humour. The Turkish force in Thessaly, during the past spring, was for weeks fed on biscuit alone. Water was their only drink ; coffee and tobacco they never saw, and yet they did well, and went through the campaign without complaint. But the army in the provinces is not only deprived of the com forts which ought to be provided for troops who have borne such hardships, or for the purchase of which their pay should be regularly given, but they are destitute of necessaries which are required to support existence during the present winter. Their clothes and shoes are worn out, and no pains have been taken to supply them with others. The' provisions are bad in quality, and the supply is •smali. No small mortality appears to be taking place. The letter of Omer Pasha is said to be a circular addressed to all the Minis ters, and it is to be hoped that immediate attention will be paid to it. The army which has faced the Russians in this war can hardly be re. placed, and if it be ;allowed to suffer a diminution of numbers the time may speedily come when the enemy will be encouraged to resume offensive warfare. How muck this well-drilled force is superior to the common run of Turkish troops may be learned from the differ ence between the conduct of the Ottoman forces at Silistria, and Balaklava. The present neglect is the more censurable since the Turkish Government has raised its loan, which ought to be applied•in the first place to the payment of its troops, and the preparation for the winter, which is likely to set in with great severity. The defence of the northern provinces from future aggression may be considered as a duty to be fulfilled by the Turkish army, for although Austria is no doubt indisposed to the extension of Russian power in Europe, we do not know how long the' present feel ings will continue to inspire her Government. The con scription also has much exhausted the Mussulman po pulation, which is in a state of great distress, and no very great reinforcements can be expected to supply any loss occasioned. The Duke of Cambridge arrived here on Monday, by the Trent, from the Crimea. His Royal Highness is somewhat better, but is still far from having recovered his health. He is at present at Missirie's Hotel, with his aides•de•eamp, Major Macdonald and Captain Clifton. Lord W. Panlet has arrived here as Commandant at Scutari. Many improvements have taken place during the last month, in a great measure through the muni ficent subscription raised for the benefit of the wounded. But the shortcomings are still very grievous, and it is to be hoped that the arrival of a Commandant, with authority to control all the departments of the hospital, will be productive of beneficial changes. The Commis sion appointed to inquire into the working of the medi cal department began its sittings on the 28th. It is rather late to inquire into the state of such affairs when we aro in the midst of a bloody campaign ; but if the Commissioners discharge their duty with energy and impartiality, much may be elicited which will be useful in the future conduct of the war. The Valmy, Ville de Paris, and Suffren have arrived in the Bosphorus in the course of the last week, having suffered much damage in the tempest of the 14th. The Ville de de Paris was towed up to the arsenal on the 28th by the Mogador steamer. In passing through the opening in the floating bridge she struck against one of the barges on which it is laid, and carried away a con siderable part of the construction. The bridge is, how ever, still available for traffic. On Saterday last 2,200 Egyptians arrived at Constan tinople, forming part of the new contingent to be fur nished by Said Pasha. They were reviewed the same day by the Seraskis in the Great Court of the Seras kierate. The assistance rendered by the Viceroy to the Sultan is a matter for rejoicing to all who desire the in tegrity of the empire. and the troops sent may be made very useful in defending the frontiers of the country against any new incursion os the enemy ; but it would perhaps be as well that rn large number of the Otto mans should bo sent up to the Crimea. The=e at Balak lava are dying in great number, , , and, though they h ave done some service in bringing up guns and stores froth the harbour to the camp, they are not to be relied on to face such troops as the Russians have and ar e likely to have in the Crimea. The French and British armies must rely on themselves alone for success in this stoutly contested campaign, and the presen ce of a large number of Eastern troops may probauly only retard their move ments, The Livorno arrived on the 27th with French troops. In all about 9,000 French have arrived within the last fortnight, and large Lumbers may be daily expected. Nov. 23.: The hoats v of the men-of-war have been working for the last two days to get afloat the Lord Raglan, one of the transports which went ou shore the o:her day ; they expect to be successful to-day. She has still her foremast standing, and the injuries to her hull seem to be but trifling. Except a f ew of the crew . of the Maltese bark, who were shut by the 'Jossacks from the cliff, and a sailor killed in one of the boats of the Queen, all the crews of English transports, as far as I are aware of, were saved, but the crews of several of the French transports were either drowned or killed by the Cossacks. Their bodies are lying about unburied on the beach ; one of the Queen's bo,,ts went, therefore, to bury them. The boat has not yet ret , lrnrd. • The sailing two decker! - RoJney, Ven, , eance, and London will, I hear, 1:0 in IZazart's Bay, next to Ka inicEli Bay ; but the Landon will first :ro down with the three deckers to Stamboul to have her rudder repaired. The steamers will keep up the blockade as they do now. The ether day, during the storm, one of the sunken vessels in the entrance of Sebastopol was dislodged ; but when the storm ceased another ship was sunk in its place. Nov. 27.—The late storms have proved the daagest of keeping the fleet in its present anchorage, and some ar. rangements have been made to keep up the blockade of the harbour of Sebastopol without risking the safety of the squadron. It has been determined, I hear, to send the three deckers down to Constantinople, the sailing two-deckers to Kazart's Bay (with a boom across the entrance), while the steam squadron will maintain the actual blockade. In consequence of this, the roadsted of the Kutch& has been the rendezvous of a great number of steamers within the last few days. The Algiers, Agamemnon, Spiteful, and Retribution ran in and took up their places alongside the Terrible, Furious, Fury, Stromboli, and Firebrand, giving more animation to the anchorage, de serted by the French and Turkish vessels. The Britannia, Trafalgar, and Queen were busy during the whole of last week in sending all the provisions they could spare on heard the Algiers, Firebrand, &c. The boats of the Algiers and Queen were further employed taking a number of lower-deck guns from the Britannia and the Trafalgar to the Stromboli and Firebrand, to be conveyed to Balaklava, and disembarked there for the service of the batteries. They are mostly long 32- pounders, in all 2S, 14 of which the Queen's boats t oo k from the Britannia to the Stromboli, while the other 14 were taken by the boat of the Algiers from the Trafalgar to the Firebrand. A great quantity of powder and shot was sent with these guns. When the Britannia is going the Admiral will hoist his flag on board the Furious, Captain Loring. This morning the Valorous, the Australian, and the Mauritius, towing a small brig, came in, all with troops, the first two havi ng on b oar d English, and the third French troops. They have all gone down to Kamiesh P,ay to disembark. The Simla, with three other steamers and fotfr tran sports, is ordered to Beurgas to bring up four Turkish regiments. The Simla has just disembarked 300 horses and men of the 9th Regiment of Frsnch Dragoons. The Lord Raglan has got off, and has been towed down to Kamiesh Bay. The weather is sti!l as uncertain as ever. Nearly every night a second anchor is let out to be weighed in the morning. The barges and the launches, every day re quired to carry stores, guns, powder, Am, from one vessel to the other, are hauled out of water every evening. Very often, even during the day, the swell is so heavy that all labour with the boats is suspended. hitherto the wind has been southerly ; simee yesterday veered to the north. Among the new arrivals is the gun-boat the Wrangler, which arrived three days ago from Con. stantinople. THE LATE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA The following is a list of the steam and sailing tran sports lost, &c., in the Black Sea during the gale of the 14th of November : Off Balaklava—No. 107, the Prince (screw steamer), totally lost—one midshipman and - seven men saved; No. 5, Resolute (ship), totally lost—magazine ship ; No. 40, Kenilworth (ship), totally lost—empty horse-transport; No. 63, Wild Wave (ship), totally lost—one man savid ; No. 82, Rip Van Winkle (ship), totally lost—empty horse transport.

The shipping and steamers at Balaklave have suffered considerably from collision. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 12.—The following letter, in refer ence to the storm of the 14th u l t. i n the Black' Sea, was received here to-day, and posted in the Underwriters'. rooms. It is from the captain of one of the transports, and gives a graphic account of the disaster " Crimea, Nov. 17.—We had a most singular and narrow escape in the gale of the 14th, which uccasiooed such fearful disasters anion the men-of-war and the transports, and yet these casualties are nothing more than what we have expected, for ell the captains of the transports have remonstrated against lying in such dan gerous anchorage during the winter on such an iron bound coast ; yet no precautions whatever have been taken by the authorities to guard against such fear ful losses. " On Sunday last we had a hard gale from the south, which the ship rode out very well, and on Tuesday the barometer indicated another, and I gave the ship more chain and made all snug. "At 9 a sea rose se fast, and the weather looked so bad, that I ordered the masts to be cut away, and in five minutes they were all over the side. The wind then came on in such terrific gusts that I was blown off the forecastle, when I was watching the chain and hawser pipes with an anxious eye. After the masts were gone, she pitched and rolled fearfully. The other vessels also cut away their masts, and were thus saved. " Having now done all in my power, I was erabled look on and see the melancholy fate of others. The steamer Vesuvius slipped her cables and tried to get to sea. She could not steam head to wind, and got across our bows, and did us considerable damage. "About 10 the Prince steamer struck, broke in two, and iu one minute not a vestige of her was to be seen. Then followed the ships close around me.

"The reason ships drive so when close in shore is that a cable's length and a-half from shore is all foul ground, and the atornent anchors get out of the mud the vessels go on shore. " Soon after daylight I communicated with the shore, and we were towed in, though not without great risk, for the hawsers broke three times.

The legal rate of interest thele is limited to 6 per cent., and the consequence is, that while money can be lent on good security the United states, owing to the commercial pressure, at from 10 to 15 per cent., every available sum is attracted out pf the colony, and its regular tra‘le is crippled and its character damaged by heavy failures. The numher of subpeusions lately has been very large, and the difficulty of procuring hills on EnOand has become sl great, in consequence of the banks h:.ving been diverted from their regular exchange operations, that houses even of means and respectability are tempted to delay remittances, and thus to disappo'nt their English correspondents in a way that is likely to lead our merch ants to a dopt the p caution of rapidly contracting the credits they have hitherto granted. AA Vine Is no bankruptcy law in Canada, the necessity ill increased for taking early warning from such irregulari. ties as may manifest themselves.
