MOSES AND SON'S Establishments will be elosed at Eight o'clock every evening, except Saturday, when they will be open until Eleven o'clock. EAST AND WEST, TWO HEMISPHERES OF TRADE. We are not accustomed to symbolise ; but the progress of the sun of civilisation, manufacture, science, and literature from east to west, and the concentration of power, influence, riches, and skill in the western nations is illustrated in the commercial transactions of E. Moses and Son. Their magnificent business career commenced in the east of the mr , tropolis and :extended over the known world, and at the urgent request of their friends, patrons, and the public, they founded a branch at the west end. There, and at the l'arent Esta blishment, they have continued to f Tnish the most seasonable, the most fashionab!e, and the best Dress for all classes at the most eco nomical prices. Winter Attire, Overcoats, Paletots, Waterproof Dress. Juvenile Clothing, Uniforms, Liveries, Ladies' Habits, costumes for all sta tions and professions. the Working Man's and the Seaman's clothing being provided with the same industry, at prices never imitated. In conjunction with the Tailoring and Ready-made Clothing business, E. Moses and Son have long had the lead as Hosiers and Shirt manufact irers. To their Branch Establishment, New Oxford strePt, they have added a Hosiery Department, which cannot be equalled for extent, magnificence, novelty, and splendour of stock ; it affords advantages too numerous for dctail, but which will be highly appreciated by the nobility, gentry, and the public, as such Hosiery Goods may there be selected as cannot be obtained else where. Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants derive the greatest advan tages from investments in the Wholesale Clothing, Boot and Shoe, and shirt Department, at E. Moses and Son's. CAUTION. —E. aft3sES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, ha int learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION NIUE ANT OTHE'It DOUSE IN 08.

LONDON, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edtn• burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Ikc., Eze• The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fea rful con sesuences resulting from certain habits, irre,gularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degr 4 4dation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of happiness, ysical condition a , n a a n p d ri w vil h eg o a e r s e to co w ns h c l i c o h us ev o e f ry ha h r u l m ng an haz be i l i n r g de i t s l I t t he e ir he p al h entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall man should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without .ncurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties 'say he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there Is scarcely any desree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, flag of Rear- Admiral Plumridge, will leave Spithead on Wednesday (attended by the stearrarigate Leopard) for Queenstown, to embark 32 officers and 670 of the 72d Regiment (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders) for the Crimea. Rear-Admiral Plumridge will strike his flag prior to the sailing of the Neptune, and will have further leave of absence granted him. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, Capt. Lord C. Paget, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Michael Seymour, and the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, are hourly expected at Plymouth to be docked and refitted. The Orion, screw, 90, is still under the sheers at Sheerness ; her boilers are being bedded, &c. Messrs. Penn and Sons' men and engineers are working at her. Her mainmast is stepped, and foremast and mizenmast already in the basin. To-day, if the caisson is opened for the Melampus, they will be towed alongside and hoisted in. Her rigging, &c., is at Chatham, where she will proceed to fit out for immediate service. Most probably next spring tides she will be towed up there. The Monarch, 84, Captain Lyster, sailed from Spit head on Saturday evening for Devonport, to be fitted as flagship on the Pacific station. The Ajax, 6A, screw block ship, Captain Warden, on the water being pumped out of her dock at Portsmouth, discovered the ugly thumps she has been subject to from the "Domarsund granite," which must have been particularly ragged and sharp ; her false keel is cut clean through in several places, and will require new through out ; it is only a wonder how her propeller could act with such a concussion immediately under the frame work, which was enough to drive the whole out of gear; her copper is otherwise sound and in good condition. Pylades, screw, 21 guns, is in No. 1 dry deck, Sheerness, her bottom is being cleared preparatory to coppering. Many artisans are working at her, and she is to be brought forward with all possible despatch. Leopard, 18, paddle, Captain Giffard, is painting out side, and looking particularly smart. She will be ready for service the middle of next week, but will not accom pany the Monarch, as stated in a London journal of Sa turday, and which, no doubt, all the little " country papers" will serve them right by copying. The Admiral's order for the Horatio to proceed to the east coast of England has been countermanded. She will be permanently stationed at Sheerness as a steam school-ship for volunteers and apprentices. The departure of the screw steam-sloop Brisk, Coin maader Curtis, from Plymouth, for Rio Janeiro and the Pacific, has been countermanded until further orders. The steam-tender Avon, Second-Master Veitch, sailed on Saturday from Plymouth for Falmouth, with newly entered men for the Calcutta, 84, The following appointments have been made : Captain Thomas R. Sulivan (1847), to command the Simoom, 18, iron screw steam troopship. Commander John Borlase (1849), to command the Melampus, 42, frigate. Assistant-Surgeon John Hudson (1853), from the Vic tory flag-ship at Portsmouth, to the Waterloo, 120, flag ship at Sheerness. SAILING OF THE NORMAN-THE WOODEN HUTS. The first shipment of wooden huts to provide for the comfort of our soldiers in the East during their winter campaign in the Crimea was made from Southampton yesterday (Sunday), the screw-steamer Norman,*belong ing to the Union Screw Collier Company, having sailed from the Southampton Docks at noon for Balaklava, touching at Constantinople. The Norman takes out 100 of these habitations, each capable of accommodating 20 men. The screw-steamer Metropolitan is loading with a further quantity, and has on board a quantity of shot, warm clothing, and other necessaries for the army. The loading of the screw-steamers Hetton and John Bowes with materials ready prepared for the construction of wooden houses has also commenced. SHEERNESS DOCKYARD. The greatest possible activity prevails throughout the whole of this dockyard. A portion of the victualling department is now being fitted for a sailors' barracks. Mr. Josiah Hall, of Queenboreugh, has the contract, and is fitting up shelves, tables, &c., for their accommo dation ; the gas-pipes are nearly all laid down, and the boiler factory progresses fast, both ends being nearly completed, with the iron pillars ranging along the con tre, &c. The Melampus, steamer (formerly a frigate mounting 40 guns, but latterly employed carrying stores from one port to another), is lying abreast of basin. She was to have been docked on Saturday, but owing to the strong N.W. winds prevailing it was found impracticable to open the caisson to-day, however, wind and weather per mitting, she is to be docked. Orders having been re ceived to fit her out with all possible despatch for a troop•ship her bottom will be overhauled, and she will be fitted for that service. The artillery under the command of Colonel Eng land, are daily exercised at the long gun, firing at a target placed out at sea. We are sorry to report that there are 9 cases of small - pox now in the hospital. Last month two died of the same disease. A greater portion of the present companies are young recruits. THE MILITIA. The East Suffolk Regiment of Artillery, under the command of Colonel Shafto Adair, M.P., is ordered to muster at Ipswich on the 14th inst. for permanent duty. The South Middlesex Militia, Colonel Bagot, on duty at Portsmouth dockyard, have given 200 volunteers to the Rifles, Marines, and line ; the Lancashire has also given upwards of 150 to the line and Guards ; the Essex Rifles have furnished over 200, and the Wiltshire 158 volunteers to the line, and more daily join. The Fourth Lancashire Militia, at the end of the 28 days' drill, will proceed to Edinburgh for permanent duty. The Oxfordshire Militia will assemble for permanent duty on Wednesday at Oxford. The South Lincolnshire Militia, which has for some months been quartered in Chichester barracks, under the command of Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., exhibit a great desire to join the line, and no less than 150 of them have volunteered during the past week. Earl Fitzhardinge, Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, and Colonel of the Royal South Gloucestershire Militia, has just received instructions to call up his regiment for i m mediate service. The North Gloucestershire Regiment is also to be called up. The enlistment of men from the Militia regiments in Portsmouth Garrison has been so successful as to mate rially thin the force requisite fer ordinary garrison duty. The Regiment of Lancashire Militia. quartered at Portsmouth, has contributed about 170 men to the Marines, Guards, and other corps. The Hampshire Regiment of Militia has given about 150 men to the Marines, Rifles, Guards, &c. The Hampshire Militia Artillery is ordered to be called out for permanent duty on the 7th inst., and will occupy Haslar barracks, Gosport, which quarters will be vacated by the South Middlesex Militia for others at Portsmouth this day. ARRIVALS OF SPECIE.—The specie arrivals of the week have amounted to more than 750,0001., of which 420,0001. is silver. The exports are estimated at between 200,0001. and 300,0001. TriE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC.—Narva, Nov. 23. The river is covered with ice, and the navigation closed. The bay is not yet closed.—Memel, Nov. 27.—T0-day the weather is mild, with light westerly winds. From the afternoon of the 25th to noon on t 6 he 2th November a severe snow storm prevailed here, but no damage to shipping is yet known. A. NEI' SILES MINI. —Intelligence has been received from Copiapo by the steamer Magdalena of an extraordi nary discovery alleged to have been made in the neigh bourhood of a place called Chanoccillo, one of the rich silver districts in that part of Chili. Some poor wood cutters, it is said, were engaged in cutting and co llecting wood on the hills when the axe of one of them struck something hard, and, as the substance had a softer sound than a stone, he cleared away the rubbish to ascertain what it was, and found a vein of nearly solid silver. Along with his companions he continued the examiva tier', and ascertained that there were four veins all .dis• tinct and large. The consequence was, that the city was almost deserted, several thousand miners, rich and poor, having congregat ed u p on the s p ot ; and, as these had already remained several days, no doubt was felt that the value of the discovery had been confirmed. The ocality is.about eight or nine leagues from one of the tations of the Copiapo Railway. Four companies of the Royal Artillery, Capt. Camp bell's company, sth battalion, Capt. Wragg's company, 6th battalion, Capt. Grayllon's_nqmpony, b a tt a k or ind Capt. Oldfield's company, 4th battalion, left the gar rison atWoolwich during the same month., for the Crimea; and the 2d company of Royal Sapper's and Miners from Woolwich,under the command of Captain King, Royal Engineers, proceeded for the saute destination. On Saturday a large number of volunteers from regi ments and depot companies of line regiments on home service, along with many volunteers from Militia regi ments, were inspected by the officers and medical staff attached to the Heusehold Brigade and the recruiting establishment at the head-quarters of the recruiting de partment in Duke•street, Westminster. During the last week upwards of 70 volunteers from the Middlesex re giments of Militia have joined the several battalions of the Guards, in addition to a very large number of volun teers from the Irish and Scotch Militia. The Guards, when the last draught left for the Crimea on Friday week,.were scarcely 200 strong, but they now number above 1,100 bayonets, and a very large portion of the recruits have nearly completed their drill while serving in the Militia. A number of volunteers from the various depots for the 18th (Royal Irish), under orders for the Crimea, ar rived at the recruiting rendezvous, Delahay-street, Westminster, and having been inspected were, without a single exception, finally approved, and received the ♦olunteering bounty of one guinea. To show the feel ing that exists throughout the armywith respect to the war it is only necessary to state, that when the order for volunteering was read to the depot of the 58th Regi ment, 200 strong, almost all the men stepped forward two paces to the front, thus indicating their desire to proceed on active service ; but. as the regiment (the 58th) is coming home from New Zealand, only 50 volun teers were accepted. The Royal Wiltshire Regiment has supplied the fol lowing numbers :-62 men to the Royal Marines, 40 men to the Rifle Brigade, 29 men to 62d Regiment, 14 men to the 231 Regiment, 12 men to the Guards, and 1 man to the 42d Ilig,blanders—in all 153 men. This regiment is nearly 700 strong. Orders have been issued for the siege guns just finished for the Crimea to be embarked at Woolwich forthwith ; they consist of 55 eight-inch guns ; their total weight of metal is 208 tons 16 cwt.—namely, 44, each weighing 3 tons 4 cwt., and 11 six tons each. The Adelaide, steamer, and Elisa, transport, are ordered to carry them out. Messrs. Peto, Drassey, and Co., the celebrated railway contractors, are in want of a large number of experienced " navvies " to proceed to the Crimea, under the super intendence of an able civil engineer. None will be en gaged unless producing certificates of gold conduct from their last employer. The steam-ship Magdalena, Captain Abbott, is to em• bark on Wednesday from Southampton, the 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment for the seat of war, and will besides take out some horses and military stores. The General Screw Company's ship Crcesus, of 2,500 tons, daily expected at Southampton from Australia, has been chartered by the Government for the convey ance of troops. _ _ _ The splendid screw steamer Europa, now lying in the East India Dock, has been taken up by the Admiralty to convey troops to the Crimea. The hired transports Cumberland and Hatt Lave been ordered.•rounkl . to Plymouth to ship the wooden huts constructed at that 'port for the army in the Crimea. The hired screw transport Manilla, 142, Captain M'Kenzie, which put i n t o Pl ymout h th ro u g h stress of weather on Wednesday, left again on Friday, with shot, shell, &c., for the Black Sea. The transport No. 149 (screw steamer) arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon to embark troops and stores for the Crimea. The screw steam-transport No. 157 arrived at Ports mouthores yesterday a f ternoon to embark troops or stores for the East. The bounty money for the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners has been raised to 71. 15s. 6d., and upwards of 600 men are wanted to complete the strength of that branch of the ordnance service. The 2d company pro ceeded to Portsmouth, and embarked in the Royal Al bert, 121, for the Crimea. THE WOODEN HUTS FOR THE CRIMEA. PORTSMOUTH, Saturday. —The wooden "barracks" progress more favourably than the transports selected to convey them to our gallant and suffering troops. The contractor, Mr. Cornwell, at this port, has about 700 men working day and night to complete 1000 wooden huts, which will Contain 20,000 men. DIRECTIONS FOIL THE ERECTION OF SOLDIERS' WOODEN HUTS, MADE AT PORTSMOUTH UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE ROYAL ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, BY ME' CAM WELL.

DESTRUCTION OF A THREE•GUN BATTERY AT CHATHAM. Since Friday last the Sappers and Miners belonging to the engineer establishment have been working by night and by day in relieves, preparing mines under a three-gun battery, which had been thrown up on a hill, between the Casmate Barracks and the Fire Barn, on the fieldworks of the Royal Engineers, as an experiment for destroying the gun. platform of a substantial battery. The whole of tile officers of the Royal Engineers, and those of the East India Counpany, and a number of officers from Chatham garristm, were present, together with the men of the Royal and East India Company's Sappers and Miners, on Elaturday, when the explosions were made. The experiment gavo the greatest satisfaction to all present, and al:io to the director, Colonel Jones, who seemed much pleased at the result. The explosions were simultaneous, and the earth was lifted up a considerable height, and it had a grand effect. It appears that there were three charges of gunpowder placed opposite the enabrasurris, two of 11.51b5. each and the other 851 b., each charge, being 10 and 11 feet below the surface of the platform. So effectual was the destruction of the works that not a particle was left standing but the outer works of the fortified plans, which the explosions were not intended to touch. The guns were blown from their psontion and Bedford Berks Brecknock Bucks Cambridge Ist Cheshire 2d ditto Cornwall Rangers Cumberland Ist Derby Ist Devon South Devon Dorset South Durham Bast Essex West ditto Ghmorgan South Gloucester North ditto Hampshire Ditto Artillery 34refori Harts East Kent West ditto Kent Artillery Ist Lancaster 2d ditto "ditto 4th ditto Leicester North Lincoln South ditto Ist Middlesex 4th ditto Monmouth Montgomery Northampton Northumberland East Norfolk West ditto Nottingham Oxford Salop Ist Somerset 2d ditto Ist Stafford '2d ditto 3d ditto West Suffolk Suffolk Artillery Ist Surrey Sussex Ist Warwick 2d ditto lot West York 2d ditto 3d ditto North ditto Wilts Worceiter SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE COALITION " BYGONES." (From the Morning Herald.) " Let bygones be bygones." There are two lights in which this remarkable appeal requires to be contemplated —namely, the ineffable mean ness of those who can make it a second time, and the equally ineffable folly which those who make it must attribute to the persons whom they think capable of being gulled by it. It is, in fact, an affront to the common sense of the nation, similar to that which . we have before recorded in the complaint of an Irish alderman against a certain Lord Lieutenant of that country—namely, that the " Viceroy insulted his intellect by the transparency of the untruths he told Mm." Lord Derby said—and the sentiment was worthy of himself and the party he represented—that " he would not be a Minister on sufferance." What are we to think of a Coalition which would p ersuade the nation to per mit of their continuance in office out of contemptuous pity ? The meanness of the :Appeal is patent. Let us come to the fully of those wh 5 could accede to it. Let bygones be bygones ! What are those bygones ? 1. An attempt to prevent tale possibility of the French alliance by gross abuse of th e Emperor and nation. 2. Credulity or connivance with regard to Russian aggressions. Z;. A. year and a half wasted in absurd, if not treacher ous, negociations. 4. An army sent out with.eut preparation as a demon , stration. 5. An army left four m anths at Varna, to die o cholera,. 6. An expedition sent to ate Crimea, to gull Parlia ment, in the fall of the year, when the winter was com ing—the force not being one-half the strength required to do the work. 7. An army left without a►:ny reinforcements till it is too late to send them for any• other purpose than to savo the lives of those who are col s 'promised. S. A• war on which the hibeeties of Europe depend starved to indulge a financia t crotchet. 9. Permission to a false all y• to destroy our own troops by paralysing the action of a :sincere one. _ _ 10. Neglect to furn;sh our troops with hospital neces saries, or even surgeons, and'. leaving them till 'far into the winter without clothes wo d without proper food. 11. Pushing the war int p. the winter, and thereby losing in one gale of wind 3t t transports, and damaging our men•of--war. 12. These proceedings ha•ni cost us in all, 20,000 of 1 the best soldiers of the worl ii, and left us on the Ist of December as far from our o bject, the taking of Sebas topol, as we were on the Ist ()f September. These are a few, and only a few, of the bygones we are expected to forget—and ighat without a single proof that Ministers even possess a., determination to do better in future. Really, the Dub Hit alderman had not half ae good cause of eomplaint as th. 4) British public. Fancy the howl of the Ti.gues had Lord Derby's Go vernment made a plea of "bygones be bygones." Why, they are not yet forgive n, and never will be, their conscientious opposition to t bubble of free trade, al though eight years have slap e ed ; and time, with wheat at 80s. a quarter, has proved', that they were perfectly in the right. Our Ministry have not event given up their crochet of robbing Turkey to place the :Principalities in the hands of the Power which has dire o tly caused all our losses in the Crimea. If they have, what means the ominous sentence which we quote from the Aberdeen 'organ ? "Better would it be for tl ,e Porte to lose altogether provinces; which it has cease t i to govern, and cannot af ford to defend, than to hold, them by so precarious a tenure." We said above that, we we le now as far from taking Sebastopol as we were on ttl ie Ist of September. We were wren. in so saying, lor most assuredly we are much farther. At that time we had tlz , e game in our own hands. If we had sent a sufficient f erce—nearly treble what we did send—and insisted up.< in Austria allowing Omar Pacha to act effectively on he Prutb, we might—not as easily as the Times anticipa gted, however—have planted our banners on its walls before Christmas. Having neglected , those cominon-sen precautions,—mere " by- genes '—of course we have, failed, and our army is he seiged, while the fire agaii ast the city had stopped for three days at the date of th e latest intelligence. The worst of all these " bygones" is that they are irreparable. We protest w a have now our doubts as to whether we shall ever take Sebastopol at all ; and we believe that if we do, it I vill be after many, many months blokade, and not b, y active siege operations. The first process it tipper -s which Ministers now con template is to leave our arm y to freeze through the long winter mouths upon the col dest and meet exposed pro montory in the proverbially " inhospitable" Surely they do not expect t hat this force will be ready far active operations after s uch an exposure. If they should he so, they are the :most extraordinary troops in the world, as remarkable for their powers of enduring hardship as they are for fighting. Now this, with all our admiration of them, we do not believe them to be. Well, let us suppose the ler ti . ; winter over, in what state will things be in the Crime: sat the approach of spring 1 The Russian army, whic! t will have passed its winter in snug quarters at Simpher mol and Baktchi-Serai, will Le reinforced probably to 200,000 men ; for, notwith standing the assertions of thee Times, travelling in winter after the frost sets in is r.tsy in Russia—transporting provisions still easier ; and they will be well supplied with all necessary materiel a o d provisions, bores has been well observed by a correspo a dent we have overlooked the district above Tagranrogoltc .I,.etlieras sources ofsupply. It is obvious that cerarnencir the siege a second time, without investing the nort I i side as well as the south, would be mere folly. We ;shall therefore have to fight a campaign in order to driv e the relieving army out of the Crimea, before we can attempt even to commence our approaches. Well, let us once more snlpose the Crimea cleared of the enormous army which t kie Czar will have collected, the last Cossack driven be y and Perecop, the isthmus rendered as unattaokable use Kalafat, and that the allied army has returned to commence the siege. We can hardly conceive all this to be accomplished before the latter end of July or begins line of August. We shall them require for investment. 10,000 men a mile, accord ing to the Duke of Welling bon ; at this rate, 13 miles — at a calculation which eve a Mr. Gladstone could make —gives us 130,000 men. :N;ow, it mast be remembered that as the harbour of SebS.stopol cuts off the investing army from all power of as, esting one wing by succours from another—and, as the ;garrison—say 40,000 men— will occupy a central positieon, they can bring a prepon derating force to Lear upo u, any point of the circumfer ence. We merely mentime this as a fact, for we do not expect the Russians to easier) sorties. No, they will trust to their heavy artillery - and formidable earthworks. We have proved to our cost. - what canibe done in this way in a month ; what may we :not expect to find at the end of six or eight ? As a specimen of the prepetrations making by the Czar, we [quote alletter recently - received from a friend at Berlin ; the writer is a Swede : " In a public-house (at .13orlin) I met six Englishmen. They had come through Holland, en route to Russia, to superintend the casting of Isongrange Lancaster guns for Cronstadt. Thousands of men are at work on all the Gulf ports." Now, it is hardly likely that Sebastopol will be neg lected, or that some of the patriotic Englishmen in question will not be sent to cast Laucasters in the Rus sian Woolwich. Taking all these things into conside ration, We ask, may we not fine ourselves approaching the winter of 1855, and Sebastopol not yet taken ? m ea nwhille, all these preparations are g oin g on, and before the season for op erations com up to dry for s mences, our unfo ix r tunate army will haves been hung months in the north wireds, like the souls of the departed in Virgil's description of "Tartarus," we suppose, in order to extract from their bodies the foul miasma which those who yet survive h; we absorbed' during their four months' residence in the. Valley of Devna, called by the Turks that of Death. Good help our poor.fellows ! for we grieve to say that England, at least as represented by her press, seems in clined to sacrifice thew, for the purpose of keeping in THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA. (From the Morning Chronicle.) A treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, has been signed between A ustria and the Western Powers ; but, as the arrangement is understood to be of a hypothetical nature, dependent on conditions expressed in the instru ment itself, we are as yet unable to appreciate its prac tical value and importance with reference to the imme diate interests of the great struggle ix which England and France are engaged. The event, which we an nounce was expected some months back, and at a time when the processes of diplomacy had not been eclipsed in interest by the more stirring incidents of war. Under present circumstances, less importance attaches to the conclusion of a treaty, the operations of which is not immediate and unconditional ; but it at least marks a further advance on the part of Austria towards the policy of the Western Powers, whilst it is unquestion ably a distinct provocation to Russia, of the most explicit and unmistakeable kind. Whatever be its terms, we may be sure that Austria will prove as honourable in fulfil ling them as she has shown herself scrupulous in re stricting the liability she has thereby assumed. On the whole, this result of the late negotiations well deserves to be received with satisfaction ; but it must not, we heed scarcely say, withdraw our minds for one instant from - the - battle-field - -upon, -And have dared to advance unaided. The daily accounts of the passage of vessels carrying troops to the Crimea have speedily allayed the fears of those who professed to apprehend that the Allied army might ',be overpowered. Our belief that the defeat of the sth November ,would Suffice to keep the enemy quiet for some time, has turned out to be well founder}. Ac cording to the latest Russian accounts nothing material had occurred in the progress of the siege up to the 2 3d, and by that time the opportunity of attacking the be , siegers position with any prospect of success had passed away. The works intended to strengthen the rights of the English camp must then have been in a forward state, and a very considerable force had landed to assist in their defence. Henceforth, the course of events in the Crimea may be watched with greater equanimity, since it seems indisputable that the Russians in the field have exertedtheir utmost skill, rand seriously diminished their numbers, without any other result than that of learning to regard the Allies as invincible. So strong is the feeling of confidence prevalent in our camp, that the English and French alone, without any reference to the Turks, are deemed sufficient to defend their lines against any force which the enemy may collect. The prospect of winter ing outside Sebastopol appears to be viewed with a com posure highly honourable to the spirit of our army ; and the formidable visions of intolerable suffering from cold, of which we have heard so much at home, will perhaps . . first present themselves to the minds of our soldiers through the medium of the London journals. It is in deed to be lamented that the precautions taken by the Government to enable our troops to meet the rigours of the season have Been temporarily nentralisel by acci dents which, in an undertaking so vast and complex, we cannot hope altogether to escape. Ample sup plies of warm winter clothing for the entire army had been slijpped from this country before the autharities had had the benefit of the numerous s uggestions which have lately been showered upon them through the columns of some of our contempora ries. But, unhappily, the stores thus provided have been lost, along with valuable ships and lives, in the terrible storm of the 14th. Nevertheless , the Govern ment had already anticipated this contingency ; and ' even before the.loss was actually known, measures had been taken for repairing it. As soon as the telegraphic intelligende of the maritime disasters of the 14th reached this country; and long before it could be known that the winter clothing of the troops had been lost, a second supply, as complete and extensive as the first, was or dered from the contractors, and a large portion of it has already been despatched to the Crimea. The only pos sible complaint that can, ii► this instance, be urged against Ministers, is that they acted so promptly as not even to take time to consider the conflicting merits of the various winter garments that have been pressed on their approval. The beneficial discussion of questions of this kind would he much facilitated by extending to the respon sible authorities the ordinary courtesy shown to confi dential clerks and servants by their employers. The War Department, the Admiralty, and the military and naval commanders, may be considered as standing in a simi lar relation to the country; and it is somewhat strange that a disposition should be constantly manifested to treat them with less forbearance than our own interest' teaches us to display towards those whose hearty assis tance we desire to secure in our private concerns. The tone adopted by some of those who claim to utter the national voice usually implies that all civil and military officials are necessarily ignorant, stupid, and obstinate ; and if ever any act is admitted to have been rightly done, the entire credit is unceremoniously appropriated, by lookers en. Even this, however, is more telerable than that entire disregard of facts which arises from the habit of censure for censure's sake. As an example of this, we may observe that a weekly contemporary hasset himself to denounce the neglect alleged to have been committed by the' Government, in sending out our soldiers armed with the old musket. It is rather-ton bad that all the details of the battle of Inkerman should be thus ignored. We thought it was notorious that all the regiments that landed in the Crimea, except the fourth division, were armed with the Minis rifle ; and the causes which have hitherto impeded the issue of weapons of that descrip tion to every soldier in our army are well known to have been beyond the control of Ministers. But the originators of all these discussions know their business far to• well to confine themselves within the inconve nient limits of ascertained fact and ordinary courtesy. Even our own attempts to moderate an extravagance which tends to cast ridicule on a great enterprise, can only be met by a deliberate misstatement of our argil. tent. The particulars which appear elsewhere of the losses sustained in the gale of the 14th ult. are melancholy' enough ; but the calamity is not without its consola tione. We now see what deep grounds we have for thankfulness in the fact that, throughout the critical period of the voyage from Varna to Old Fort—and, in ! deed, almost ever since—the weather in the Black Sea has been beyond expectation favourable. .Had a similar disaster occurred to the. same vessels when filled with troops, it would only have • been one of the ordinary dangers of the vast enterprise in which we had staked so much. When we remember the amount of reinforce!. ments that have recently been despatched to the Crimea, anti the anxiety of the authorities to forward them to their destination without ft day's delay, we have reason to rejoice that the loss has not been more severe. It is probable that the transports which were driven asho4 near the mouth of the Katcha and Eupatoria contained no cargoes, but were merely in attendance upon the army. The vessels were necessarily destroyed after the gale abated ; but as their size prevented them from drift. .ting close to the shore, the Cossacks could not approach near enough to capture the crews, who were taken oft in boats, and thus e;eaped being carried prisoners tal Sebastopol. Our • heaviest loss was sustained on the dangerous rocks adjoining Balaklava. A ship driven ashore at that point could hardly escape instantaneous destruction, and, accordingly, the fine new steamer Prince, and, it is said, seven otheF transports, have been lost. The troops taken out by the Prince had been already landed, ; but valuablO stores, including the supply of winter clothing for the army, were, unfortunately, still on board. It is fur ther stated that 300 lives were sacrificed in thes6 vessels, but the particulars are not yet known, an we would fain hope that further intelligence may die t close some mitigation of this sad disaster. The Frenc transports that were stranded were of smaller sizti, and consequently f ar l ess c o s tly ; but 'we regret tip learn that our allies had to destroy the line•of-battle ship Henri Quatre, and the Pluton steamer, and that the crews of their small transports were captured 14 the Cossacks. This severe lesson in ;,he dangers of the Black Sea has warned the Admirals to make their arrangements for the winter. The sailing vessels have been mostly sent to Btiyukdere and Sinope, and t he duties of supplying and reinforcing the army Will be principally discharged by steamers. The damagod Britannia will be speedily replaced by the Royal Albert, now on her voyage out, and the return of the" Baltic steam fleet will furnish additional vessels, if necessarf, for the Euxine. It is, at all events, satisfactoorfyoutor know that the presence of the greater number transports off the Crimean coa st is now altogether need less, as it is certain that the Allied Armies are able to maintain their position ag ainst any force which tile enemy can bring against them. __ _ . ---- a PATRIOTISM OF MESSRS. PETO & CO. , (Front the Daily News.) Wooden houses for the English troops in the Crimea are in the process of construction at Gallipoli ; and officers have been despatched to Trebizond and Sinope , . t o procure and forw ard supplies of timber from Anatolia. Add to these the railway that is about to be constructed from Balaklava to the camp before Sebastopol—and hero let us pause to do entire justice to the liberal patriotism of Mr. Peto and his partners. We are in formed that the offer to construct this railway originated completed with them ; that they, as contractors, are it with their own men ; and that when at i t t h i t s o they are to hand it over to the army single sbilli e ng cost, refusing to. accept a e ;O a ; t th il e e i t r labour, manageMent, or the use of their capital. When G over nment is bestirring itself with th e energy we now witnessf and when the country h is t coming forward with su ch munificent sacrifices a s those of san illustrious which that;of Messrs. Peto, Brassoy, Betts, an d Co is example; who can doubt f or a momen t as t o th e result I of the struggle '•, And here let as advert to the tone of complaint which tile, wanderiug (elder s.oild of 22i.lbt f:-e' • • , listening to the gossip of the soldiers. Deumieie. tuey heard many grumbles of malingerers, many rash judg mentsof conceit and ignorance ; but at times they picked up useful suggestions, and, most important of all, they learned thetemperand disposition of their soldiery. What these night rambles did for generals of the olden times the numerous letters published in the newspapers may do for our commanders before Sebastopol, and for our Government at home. Not every criticism in these letters is to be despised or superciliously cast aside. And the complaints of the soldier ought at least to be in qired into, and, if well founded, redressed as far as pos sible. The alloy of petulant and presumptuous criticism to be found in some of the letters, ought to be patiently endured as inseparable from the pure metal. But the general !public, in reading the documents referred to, will do well to bear in mind, that though it is evident there is much in our military arrangements that calls urgently for reform, the organisation of the army has been immensely improved since the beginning of the Peninsular war. What we want now is, not an army reform bill, but the perfection of details left incomplete by the searching reforms introduced in consequence of Ir our Peninsular experience. What seems most wanted i au augmentation of our light cavalry, for picket and outpost service, and for patrols ; an improved organisa- tion of the commissariat and transport services ; and an addition to the strength of the medical department, and its attendants. The understanding of Messrs. Pete and Co. ought to be turned to account, for the organisation of a permanent corps of artificers and labourers. The pioneers of our army deficient in number, and not avail ableplaFcreodmbythseucchoanscidoerprascamsnheoref osuurggoewstneda.riu, for many emergenci es ; th ey m i g h t b e use f u lly r e• we turn to that of the enemy. It is to be feared there is toe much truth in the reports in circulation respecting the atrocities perpetrated by the Russia n so ldiers. e are told, indeed, that the Russian generals and their staffs are brave and chivalrous. This may be true of some of them ; but it is obvious that not a few, eves of this superior class, have become in--the campaigns of the Caucasus and the military operations on the Russian frontier towards Tartary , sold iers of t he same stamp as the Tillys and Wallenstein s of the Thirty Years' War. And the character of the common soldiers is rude as it is daring and enduring. It is customary for the ener getic and enterprising of the Russian serf to obtain leave , from their lords to travel in search of employment, upoa the .00nditien of paying tribute out of their yearly earn.' ings. These men soon become noma des, without a Wither They travel over the whole empire with their axes, with the aid of which they can perform all kinds of service. Throughout the working period of the year they sleep in. the open air, snatching their precarious meals wherever they can procure them. Industrious and trustworthy "while employed, they indulge during the winter months in every sensual pleasure their summers earnings oaa obtain for them. Such men are the materials out of, which to make hardy and unscrupulous soldiers ; sad when hounded upon their foes by priestly exhortations, - in which the excitements of bigotry and avarice are. blashphetnously blended, there is no atrocity of which they are not capable. It is the duty of our Comman ders not to shrink from the sternest measures required to intimidate the Russian Government and its Generals into the exercise of a more vigorous control of the savage disposition of their soldiery. It is the duty of every civilised European Government to unite to drive back such barbarous armies. OUR SUCCESSES IN THE CRIMEA. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) Our successes in the Crimea have been achieved by the unflinchin g courage and the devoted self - sacrifice of our soldiers. One to four, or one to seven they have thrown themselves into the breach to conquer or 'die. Are the means by which the necessary resources are to be raised at home to be attended with equal sacrifices ? Are our merchant-1 and traders, our industrious and hardworking producers of every kind to be half ruined be!ore a sound financial system be substituted for the present annoma bons and pernicious one ? We tell Mr. Gladstone that if ho wishes to raise, for any length of time, taxes, or loans commensurate with the enormous demands of the expenditure of a great war, he mu-t adopt the bald and sagacious financial system of William Pitt, that system at which he ventured in his arrogant iviorance to sneer, but which enabled Mr. Pitt io do—what Mr. Gladstone can only humbly hope to enaulato him in doing—viz., to carry this country safely and successfully through a great European war. A. Bank Restriction Act, or some measure similar in its operation to that bold measure of Mr. Pitt, can alone --even allowing for the fortuitous assistance which the gold discoveries have afforded to the puny financiers of our days—enable us to prosper at home and sustain abroad the deadly combat with the Russian Autocrat in which we are engaged. AUSTRIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS. (Frain the Mo fling Post.) It will be seen, from the important despatch which we publish in another column, and which we were the first to make public in an extraordinary edition yesterday, that the anticipations in which we indulged ten days ago, and the expectations we have not ceased constantly to express, have not been unfounded. Austria has taken, as we signified she would, another step, and has entered upon a closer union with the Western Powers. On Saturday last, the 2d inst., the Plenipotentiaries of England, France, and Austria, signed, as we are informed by the French official Moniteur, a Treaty of Alliance. Till the formal ratifications are exchanged, the public cannot, of course, be placed in possession of the text an& stipulations of this important document. But it is at once most obvious that, in presence of war, by signing a treaty with England and France, Austria places a barrier between herself and Russia. Of the effect this measure will produce at St. Peters burg, we cannot, of course, judge. It may possibly lead to an attempt, more or less sincere, for peaceful negotia tions, or it may precipitate the further extension of the war. If it lead to further extension of hostilities, it is im possible not to be struck by the great advantages pos sessed by a Power which has two hundred and fifty thousand men near the heart of the Rusiian Empire, and where, moreover, but one hundred thousand are at present opposed to them. If it lead to negotiation, it is presumable that the Emperor Nicholas may be much influenced in any pro• positions he might make by the new position of Europe, and even that, both his necessity and his pride would find convenience in yielding to the great States united rather than to two only of them. We publish also, in another column, the additional article of the Treaty of the 20th of April, signed by Counts Buol and ,Arnim on the 26th ult. Into its merits, those of the joint proposition presented•by Auto tria and Prussia to the Diet, or those of the resolutions come to by that Federal body, it were idle to enter ; it would lead us at once into that world of wordy specula tion in which Germans delight to waste their time. It is plain to common sense that the action of Austria must influence Prussia and Germany. On the one hand, they may remain bound to her and unite in her bond with the Western Powers, or Prussia may choose a more isolated policy, in which the other States may or may not follow her. This would place her in a more difficult position than ever, and virtually annul the engagements she has just entered into with Austria. We shall accept with the greatest pleasure, as with the greatest advantage, the real assistance of Austria in the armed struggle for Right—that struggle which Eng land and France took alone, and which they are deter mined to prosecute to a successful issue. But that great and noble war in which they are engaged has for its im. mediate object the advantage, of a State in whose inte grity and independence Austria is more than any other Power vitally concerned ; and though it had seemed at first as if the Cabinet of Vienna had been unaware of its truest interests, and doubtful of its safest policy, the act announced by the Moniteur seals a new resolution and a I better course. - . • LOSS OF THE. NILE STEAMER. On Saturday information arrived in town of the total wreck cf the fine iron screw steam -ship the Nile, 400 tons, Captain Moffat commander , be lon g in g to the Dub Steam Packet Company, while on her passage from Liverpool to Penzance and London, with, there is every reason to believe, the loss of every soul on board, it is supposed about 50 passengers, and a crew of 30 or 40 persons. The deplorable event took place a little tot the northward of St. Ive s Bay, on the western co of Cornwall. The L ondon agents, Messrs. Hartley and Co., were apprised on Wednesday evening of the Nile having left Liverpool on the e r preceding night, and n othing further was heard of until one o clock o Saturday, when a telegraphic message was received that the Nile steamer had been lost near Portreath, end that all on board had perished. A despatch for warded by the company's agent at Penzance was as follows :—" Papers, casks, and pieces of wreck of Nile (s.s.), from Liverpool for Falmouth and London, were P icked up to - d a y on the coast near Port r ea th. She, without doubt, was lost on Godrevy Rocks on Thum day night, and ever y p erson a pp ear s t o have perished." Subsequent me ssa g es communica te the fact that the steamer struck on the rocks _about eleven o'clock:at n i g ht, the wind at the time blowing a hea v y ga l e from the N.W. The Nile had en board a full cargo of gene. ral merchandise. • Our Plymouth correspondent, writing yesterday morn ing, says—" Passengers wlio came up by the mail this morning say that the whole of the crew and passengers were lost. The vessel had broken up, and portions of it washed on shore just under Tehidy, the seat of Lady Bassett." PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING. By the Cornwall mail, arrived here at 5.30 p.m., we learn that five bodies of females have been picked up ou Saturday, and among them that of the stewardess, which had been identified by Mr. Came, the agent of the com pany at Falmouth. A letter received by Capt. Moppett just before leaving Liverpool, and his cigar case, 424 also been picked up. The stern of the vessel had come on shore. An inquest had been held on the body of stewardess.
