The Russian owners of these ships appear to have changed their crews, and provided them with simu lated papers, to elude the British cruisers in the Baltic. MILITARY.

The following extracts are from a letter written by an officer of the Royal Artillery : " Balaklava, Sept. 28, 1851. "It is one o'clock hero in the Crimea, and the post goes out at two o'clock, I cainoi therefore write you a long letter, but I know how great will bo your pleasure in re ceiving an account, however short, of our general's good health and good spirits. I do assure you it requires a good horse to keep up with him, for he is always ' to the front.' In the confusion of the chase on the 25th, I missed him, for leaving Lord Raglan's side at a full gallop, he was after the rear-guard of the Russians, long before any of us could get near him. It was a quarter of an hour before I could overtake him, and yet rode, all rode, as hard as we could, I assure you. He is now down on the beach, examin ing the siege train as it lands. We hope to have a house for you in the Stada Realo (the interpreter is not at hand to put it into Russ), Sebastopol, for your winter quarters. We are closing in upon them; and so doubtful are they of their foeblo tenure of their Crimean stronghold, that on dit our rencontre on tho 25th was with a detachment of the army marching to escort Prince Menschikoff's carriages, suite, boxes, and self, out of this tottering possession of the 'i °Teat Czar, his master. Conceive Prince Menschikoff's audacity in daring to have among his stars and garters, and other precious things, a fac-simile of our Royal Horse Artillery uniform, the blue cloth being of a rather lighter shade. The horrid crafty old fox ! No doubt he copied it from our officers who attended the Ohnutz and Warsaw reviews last September. "If you aro disposed to think I have been remiss in my duties as aide-do-camp, in not having written to you under date Crimea, till this moment, permit me to quote the occupations of the last few days, beginning on the 20th, OUT previous work having become European in its publicity long ago. " 20th—Battle of the Alma ; busy all day with the Russians. 21st—Letters to my family, to tell thorn I was alive and well. Other occupations of a continued but miscellaneous nature. " 22d—Up to my oars in starting tumbrils and guns, for the march. "23d—March to the Katcha. " 24th —March to the Balbeck. " 25th—March to the Tchornay. " Nth—March to l3alaklava. " 27th—Reconnaissance at Sebastopol. " 28th—Writiog to you, and in winos the sergeant The letters for the post, sir.' E. A." The followin g is an extract from a private letter from Sir Cohn Campbell to a friend, giving an account of the passage of the Alma. It is scarcely necessary to say that the regiments here spoken of are the 42d, 79th. and 93d : " My men behaved nobly. I never saw troops marsh to bat tle with greater sangfroid and order than those three Highland regiments. Their conduct was very much Ad mired by all who witnesed their behaviour." DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL HOEY, 30TH REGI DIENT.—It is with feelings of the deepest regret, which we are certain will be shared in by all our readers, that we have to announce the death, from cholera, of the above named brave and distinguished officer. A native of our city, he was well known to many of our readers, to whom ho was endeared by the warmth and amiability of his cha racter, while his known talents as an officer, and distin guished gallantry in the field (recognised as it was in Lord Raglan's despatch), rendered hill the idol of his regiment. We insert the following extract of a letter from an officer in the 30th, dated the 3d of October, in reference to his decease, cut off as ho was in the flush of victory and in the prime of manhood :—" The poor colonel is dead. Ho died about three days ago of cholera, having been only 24 hours ill. lam very sorry for him, for he was a gallant fellow. We likewise lost an officer a few days before, a good young fellow, named Johnston. His death was more sudden than the poor colonel's, for he was only about six hours ill. It is a melancholy thing to think that, after escaping the murderous fire of the 20th, they should both be cut off by the worst enemy we have to contend against. Poor Hoey ! ho was a fine follow."—Dublin .freeman. SOLDIERS SICK AND' WOUNDED FUND, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Now that the appeal made through your columns in alleviation of the wants and sufferings of our countrymen in the East has been so liberally responded to as to have supplied funds to the amount of 7,0001. in seven days, some statement appears called for of the proposed application of the sums received, as well as of ho practical effects which have resulted from your power. ful advocacy and this expression of public sympathy. As the real efficiency of the gift lies in immediate action, it is well to acquaint the public that it has appeared both to the Tiencs and to me, acting as joint trustees of the moneys received, that we should best discharge the duties entailed upon us by at once, without delay, applying the re sources of the fund. A gentleman, therefore, with groat qualifications to fulfil a task of much delicacy and trust, has been commis sioned to proceed within 12 hours to Constantinople, and there superintend, acting upon the advice of, and as much as possible in conjunction with, some of our respected merchants and other persons of influence on the spot, the distribution of what public gratitude has furnished, not for the purchase of absolute necessaries, which it is the province of Government to supply, but, as the Duko of Beaufort justly observes, of those comforts and even luxuries which will be "of immense benefit to the wounded." An accurate and detailed statement, audited by Mr. Locke, Mr. Lyne Stephens, and me, will be fur nished of the disbursements which may have taken plaoe for the public information. As regards the practical effects which have resulted from your powerful advocacy and this expression of public sym pathy, I would observe that the Secretary of State for War acquainted me last evening that, although he trusted many of the statements which had been current in this country of the inefficiency of the medical staff in the East to minister to the wants of our sick and wounded were ex aggerated, yet that the greatest benefits had flowed from the inquiries which the statements in the Times of defi ciencies and sufferings, and the public response to them in this country, had occasioned ; and that in consequence he had written to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, urging his immediate attention to the state of the hospitals which appears from this to have been hitherto neglected, and that he had placed, at his disposal an unlimited credit from the public resources, to provide whatever might bo needed to alleviate the acknowledged sufferings of our men. This liberal application of the public money, thus tardily placed at the Ambassador's disposal, will not by any means interfere with the distribution, or, at all events, the value of the resources of the special fund for the sick and wounded, and, in order to maintain a har mony of operation, a letter of recommendation (in the event of its being needed) has been sent to the British Am bassador in favour of the gentleman charged with onr Com- mission. I would, moreover, add that the official representative of another of the numerous departments connected with the army acquainted me that, although an ample supply of medical stores aad surgical appliances had been for warded to the East, yet it did appear that there had been culpable negligence in the further despatch of these from Constantinople to appointed places, the consequences of which might have been most serious, and that instructions had been sent to try by court-martial the officials charged with this gross remissness of duty. In addition to those sy m p toms of increased activity on ' the part of the Government to provide for the wants of our countrymen in the East, the Government 1 has san c ti one d the immediate despat ch of the superintendent of the Ladies'' Hospital, with a staff . of female nurses, to act in the espens©s consequent Eng lish military hospital at Constantinople, and thus supply deficiencies which have been hitherto so grievouslyr felt. I cannot , refrain from public mention that the Times has itc., but not only charged itself with all the pay the expenses upon the publication of the list of subscribers,- has also most generously undertaken to d t l o would. urge, out and home of the gentleman commissioned to repro ehne fund supplied s a e m n p t l. t e h m e e in an te s re h s a t v s e ot e t emer gencies, and, doubtless, thousands meet present in if requisite, that within three would continue to pour closed, and those who have so. days the subscription be appeal made may have the satisfaction liberally responded to the addition to the actual benefits. of feeling that, in s will supply, they have . which their contributions boon Instrumental in inducing the the Times The subscription f ( or t he more effectual relief of our sick and wounded countrymen in the East will soon reach what may fairly be considered a reasonable limit. Tcn thou sand pounds—which it will probably amount to in a day or two—is about as large a sum as can be well applied, for the present at least, and certainly as large as we would will ingly undertake to administer. A letter from the first subscriber and founder of the fund, in our columns this day, states the value and results of the movement so plainly and simply that we might have contented our selves with a reference to it. If, indeed, the only people to bo considered were the sick and wounded, the Govern ment, and the subscribers, wo should let the matter take its course, secure of sympathy, co-operation, and, if neces sary, indulgence. But the jealousy betrayed in some quarters, and still worse feelings exhibited in others, in ' duce us to add a few words to Sir Robert Peel's letter. In any public matter, and especially in one so delicate and so ourselves. sacred as the care of our wounded ch a mpions and defenders, we would gladly disarm jealousy , and obtain , if not the i g n o d o e d e w d i , ll t , e a e t n lneoasotcethaseiocu forando iurll The movement is about as little an affair of our own as any o f f ee all lin feeling towards d s There has, work that may chance to acquire publicity and favour through our columns. Our correspondent at Constanti nople was under no kind of influence or suggestion when he described the state of things on the arrival of the wounded. Had he related from their own lips, and from the evidence of his own senses, that they had received as much attenti on f rom the day of the battle as they would in a first-class hospital in this city, and that from first to last we surpassed the French in the attendance of surgeons and nurses, and the supply of every imaginable comfort, undoubtedly we should have hailed the account with delight, and should most probably have stepped in to com pare our own practical success with the ostentatious science of our allies. Our correspondent told another tale, and we expressed our deep concern that he should have to do so. Hereupon a well-known baronet, the bearer of a distinguished name, proposed a subscription to do what evidently had not been done, and set the example on a munificent scale. Oth ers f o ll owe d th a t examp l e, an d p l ac ed their money at our di sposal. We had no alternative b u t to accept the charge,—burdensome, anxious, and even in vidious as we were likely to find it. We have already stated what we have done, and it is further described by Sir Robert Peel. bi ny l it t tli a s e n sp o ue de s id m ees a no l l thing burstwh a in r g r oa that obrl G o ige vernment has been roused and re s a yr er p a at c h t i v , ity. mheasre must, found indeed, be misconduct or incompetency somewhere or other for so many stores and so many medical men to be sent out, and not to be at hand when they are wanted; and l 2,000 sick and 'wounded men to remain an they slid from September 20 to September 26. The impale° thus given to Government, and so readily obeyed by it, does not come merely from ourselves. Our remarks might have passed unheeded but for the public response. In this country men talk very little, and aro rather ashamed to avow their feelings. They supply the place of rhetoric by subscriptions, aud, when they rush in crowds to subscribe what we know they can with difficulty spare, we conclude they aro very much moved or impressed. Government, accordingly, has felt it impossible to resist the mute elo quence of seven thousand pounds, subscribed in five or six days, to do what it ought to have done. It has sent out fresh and more urgent instructions, unlimited credit, and orders for an inquiry into the causes of the mismanage ment or neglect which has undoubtedly occurred. Govern ment does not feel so satisfied that all its officers have done their duty as some of its supporters affect to be. This is one good result of the movement. We expect some other results of a very tangible and permanent character. It is admitted that hitherto there has been no provision for nurses, or for that kind of assistance that merely requires a moderate amount of gentleness and strength. The time of surgeons and assistant-surgeons is too valua ble to be employed in such ordinary services. But, except in regular hospitals and asylums, nursing and the attendance we have described must always partake of the voluntary character. A corps of army nurses would be liable to very great abuse, and the attempt to employ the of n Chelseaom Roman pensioners Catholicism co proved genius mes great by failure. investingT The labours of this sort with a certain sanctity, 'definite rewards, and i a n here oven a sacramental character and virtue. Thus, although we will venture to say our sick are as well attended and nursed in London as in Paris, still in the latter place, and throughout France, there was found an existing organisa tion as ready for the use of the army as the regiments in garrison. We feel little doubt that henceforth our armies in the field will always ha re some equivalent assistance ; and, when the soldier finds a good English nurse at his bed side, two or three thousand miles from home, he will owe it to the picture of the hospitals at Scutari given in our columns last week, and the contrast between the state of the French and the British soldiers. If anybody denies that the presence of a gentleman com missioned to inquire and report, having his eyes about him, and without any wrong bias, will be of use to the pa tients of an hospital receiving shiploads at a time and ter ribly underserved, we really have little more to say to him. We can say, speaking from mere instinct, and apart from all political considerations, that if we knew a young rela tive to be lying with a shattered liriab, or a ball through his lungs, in a crowd of four thousand sufferers in a mili tary hospital on the shores of the Black Sea, wo should be only too glad to hear that a gentleman was daily going the round of the wards, to report on the attendance, the sup ply of medicines, and other particulars. But if volunteers are to be admitted at all, and it is worth while to send a visitor of this sort, there can be no doubt that it is better still to arm him with money. In East, especially, no. thing can be done without money. Without it a visitor will be reduced at every difficulty to fold his arms, and say " What could Ido ?" Wo have no doubt that with money he will be able soon enough to raise a sufficient body of native nurses and assistants, for in the nature of things there must be good nurses wherever there is sick ness, childhood, and age, wherever people are born, marry, sicken, grow old, and die. We want also a body of ex perienced nurses from England. Now, it is true that Go. vernment has given the Ambassador at Constantinople general orders and unlimited credit for the relief of the • sick and wounded, but it is equally true that Any gentle . man of our own staff sent en this errand will ba mach more efficacious, much more free to follow the dictates of his own judgment, with money placed absolutely at his own disposal, than if he had to report to the ambassador or some other official and obtain his sanction to every item of expenditure. It is quite clear that this is an office for individual energy and responsibility. Govern ments and bureaucracies answer pretty well in quiet times, when they have only bricks and mortar, paper and ink, ships and guns, and other brute material to deal with, and in times when men's minds are as quiet as that material; but a Government would cut a very sorry figure with its shelves, its red tape, and its signatures upon signatures, in a shipwreck, a flood, or a conflagration. The present is a • calamity of this class, and Government has been found ; much too stiff, formal, and unmanageable for it. It proposed to assist it with the aid of volunteers, and Go verment very wisely hails this assistance. It does so be- I cause it cares more for its sick and wounded soldiers than for its own credit ; or rather, it thinks it best for that credit to accept information, *ensued, and aid, than to re ject aud disdain them. (Prom the Daily New.) Eery incident in our conflict with B,ussia deepens the impression, in the minds of thoughtful people, of the blessedness of our political condition, in comparison with that of the subjects of the Czar. We have something to lament and complain of yet—and no reprobation can be too severe for the imbecility or half-heartedness on the part of ministers, which has drawn out the war to a de structiveness and protraction which night have been saved by timely heartiness and energy. But looking be yond the failures of a particular sot of men to the system of society in which we live, we see what it is to be Britons, and foci it more deaply with every incident that turns up in the first chapter of the War. The Queen's Proclama tion about the Patriotic Fund comes out in striking con trast to the CMOS requisitions on his subjects for what our old Kings, before Parliamentary days, used to call " bene volences." The Czar goes into a war for the indulgence of his own ambition, and, through a long season of forbear ance from his antagonists, pampers his pride till ho can no longer be endured. War ensues; and he takes from his nobles their market on the one hand, and their income on o th m em al m on o e re th an cy d c tl a i n e o d t e h ri e v r e ; ianncodmaegianint,htehfeuirtusererf.s, Hfroomtaxvie-hs more in corn and in money; and ordains " free-will offer. ings." All this is for himself. His soldiers are a property; not mon and citizens, like ours ; but chattels m,hich it costs their owner much money to keep in repair or replace. Thus, the Patriotic Fund of St. Petersburg and Moscow is a forced levy from contributors who are reported to abhor the war, and know and care nothing about the soldiers, except such serfs as they may have been compelled to send to the army. Our Sovereign will never touch a shilling of our Pas triotic Fund. She does not want the money for objects of her own. She sanctions the national war, as she led out the fleet to sea ; but it is for the sake of everybody rather than herself. In the same way she, by this Proclamation, leads the national sympathies in a case in which self ininte rest is out of the question. The case is not one of saving the Government some of its duty, like that ofsu supporting the to the ser vants of the State ; nor like that of ministering-satpresent the soldiers' families, when the soldiers were the papid wounded, about which so much argument a 1 is, in oar opinion, the object of the Patriotic going forward.
