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 metropolis 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 Parent Esta blishment, they have continued to fcrnlsh the most seasonable, the most fashionable, 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 fer 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 bnsinese, E. Moses and Son have long had the lead as Healers and shirt manufacttrers. To their Branch 'Establishment, New Oxford street, they have added a Hosiery Department, which cannot be equalled for extent, magnificence, novelty, and splendour of stock ; it affords advantages too numerous for detail, 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 Bon's. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to gaard the public against imposition, havinr, learned that the untradosinan-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 CONTRACTS FOR TEA AND PEPPER.

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 bbilers 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, 60, screw block ship, Captain Warden, on the water being pumped out of her dock at Portsmouth, discovered the ugly thumps she has been subjeot to from the "Bomarsund 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, ia in No. 1 dry dock, 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, Com mander 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. Sußyan (1847), to command the Simoom, 18, iron screw steam troopship. Commander John Borlase (1849), to command the Melampus, 42, frigate. A isistant-Surgeon John Hudson (1853), from the Vic tory flagship 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. THE REINFORCEMENTS. The changes in the stations of the army during the past month give a very clear detail of what has been done to aid the troops be-fore Sebastopol The 9th Foot ; from Malta to the Crimea. • 14th do., from Malta to the Crimea. 6211 do., from Malta to the C r i tt ir, a . 681.13 do., from Malta to the Crimea.. 84th do., from C.,rfu to the Ci imea. -71st (Ist battalion), from Corfu to the Crimea. 17th Foot, from Gibraltar to the Crimea. 29th do., from Gibraltar•to the Crimea. 89th do., from Gibraltar to the Crimea. 90th do., from Dublin to the Crimea. 97th do., from Canterbury to the Crimea. Making a total of 11 regiments—four from Malta, two from Corfu, three from Gibraltar, one from Ireland, and one from England. . _ . The 54th• Foot, from Glasgow, and the 66th Foot, from Preston, have left - to fill the vacancies caused by these movements. : . .The other changes of the stations of regiments during the past month has been the removal of the 7th Hussars from Leeds to York, and, the arrival of the 56th Foot at Dublin from Bermuda. The 22.1 Foot and the 96th Foot are both on their passage home from Bengal, in - • - The 36th Regiment of root has relieved the division of the 18th on duty at Wellington Barracks, St. James's Park. 100 men from the 36th have voluntee red into the 18th. The whole of the detachments of the 18th have joined head-quart-Ts at Chatham, and the regiment, having completed its strength, is ready at a moment's notice to embark for the Crimea. Four companies of the :z al Artillery, Capt. Camp . . company,-504atat Capt. Wragg'a-company, 6th battalion, Capt. Graydon's comp an y, Ist battalion,and Capt. Oldfield's company, 4th battalion, left the gar 1-rison atWoolwich during the same month for the Crimea; and the 2d company of Royal Sappers and Miners from Woolwich, under the command of Captain Sing, Royal Engineers, proceeded for the same 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 Household 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 th• ferl - that exists throughout the army with 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 (th• 58th) is conning home from New Zealand, only 50 volun teers were accepted. The Royal Wilt Shire Regiment has supplied the fol lowing numbers :-02 men to the Royal Marines, 40 men to the Rifle Brigade, 29 men to 62d Regiment, 14 wen to the 23d Regiment, 12 men to the Guards, and 1 man to the 421 Highlanders—in all 153 men. This regiment is nearly 700 strong. Orders have been issued for the siega guns just finished for the Crimea to be embarked at Woolwich forthwith ; they colsiit of 55 eight-inch guns ; their total weight of metal is 208 tons 10 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, Braseey, 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 awed unless producing certificates of good 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 G3ueral 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 have been ordered round 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 into Plymouth through 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 mouth yesterday afternoon 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 aro wanted to complste 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 FOR THE ERECTION OF SOLDIERS' WOODEN RUTS, MADE AT PORTSMOUTH UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE ROYAL ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, BY MIS. CAM. WELL. Level the ground to the extent of 23 feet by 16 feet, for each hut. Lay side plates in two pieces, 14 feet long, 4 inches by 3 inches, which are halved together.

DESTRUCTION OF A THREE-GUN BATTERY AT CHATHAM. Sinco Friday last the Sappers and Miners belonging to the engineer establishment have been working by night and by day in re!ieves, preparing mines under a three•gun battery, which had Wen thrown up on a hill, between the Casinate Barracks and the Fire Barn, on the fieldworks of the Royal Engineers, as an experiment for destroying the gun platforrn of a substantial battery. The whole of • the officers Of the Royal Engineers, and those of the East India Company, and a number of officers from Chatham garrison, were present, together with the men of the Royal and EAst India'Company's Sappers and Miners, on Saturday, when the explosions were made. The experiment gave the greatest satisfaction to all present, and also to the direeter, 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 embi•asures' two of .115Ibs. each and the other 8 1 1 b., each charge being 10 and 11 feet below the surface of the platfornt So effectual was the destruction of the works that not a particle was loft standing but the outer works of .the fortified plans, which the explosions were not intended to touch. The guns were blown frOm their position and buried in the ruins, making three craters of about 20 feet by 18 feet in circumference, and from 8 to 9 feet in depth. ENGLISH MILITIA EMBODIED. Within the last fear days orders have been issued for the embodiment of several fresh regiments of militia. The following-is a complete list of the regiments, sixty one in all, which will he ready for active service as mi litia, when the intentions froin the Government are hilly carried out.

A portion of the victualling department is now being fitted for a sailors' barracks. Mr. Josiah Hall, of Queenborough, has the contract, and is fitting up shelves, tables, &0., 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 can trip, &c. _ _ The Ifelampus, 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 Aifles 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 Lieutenaat of Gloucestershire, and Colonel of the Royal South Gloucestershire Militia, has just received instructions to call up his regiment for immediate 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 for 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. THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC.—Narva, Nov. 23. The river is covered with ice, and the navigation *sad. 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 the 26th November a severe snow storm prevailed here, but no damage to shipping is yet known. A NEW Swell INl[Ne.—lntelligence ha 3 been received from Cmiapo by the steamer 111.14dalena 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 i 3 said, were engaged in omitting and collecting 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 wa s, and found a vein of nearly solid silver. Along with hip Companions he continued the examina- and ascertained that there were four veins all dis tinct and large. The consequence was, that the city was almost deserted, cooreg - miners, a s t e e v d er u al po t n ho t u h s e an sp d oand, r a i s ch th a e n s d e poor, having n had already remained several days, no doubt was felt that the value of the disco very had been confirmed. The ocality is about eight or nine leagues from one of the tations of the oopispo Railway. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIO 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 traneparenoy of the untruths he told him." 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 persuade 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 folly of those who could accede to it. Let bygones be bygones ! What are those bygones ? 1. An attempt to prevent the possibility of the French alliance by gross abuse of the Emperor and nation. 2. Credulity or connivance with regard to Russian aggressions. 3. A year and a half wasted in absurd, if not treacher ous, negociations. 4. An army sent out without preparation as a demon stration. 5. Au army left four months at Varna, to die of cholera. 6. An expedition sent to the Crimea, to gull Parlia ment, iu 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 array left without any reinforcements till it is too late to send them for any other purpose than to save the lives of those who are compromised. 8. A war on 'whiCh the liberties of Europe depend starved to indulge a financial crotchet. • 9. Permission to a false ally 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 and without proper food. 11. Pushing the war into the winter, and thereby losing in one gale of wind 32 transports, and damaging our men-of-war, " 12. Those proceedings have .cost us in all, 20,000 of the best soldiers of the world, and left us on, the Ist of December as - far from eur object, the taking of Sebas topol,. as we were on the Ist of. September. These are S. few, and only a few, of the bygones we are expected to forget L-and that without a single proof that Ministers even possess a determination to do better in future. Really, the Dublin alderman had not half as good cause of complaint as the British public. Fancy the bowl of the TimeB had Lord Derby's Go vernment made a plea of let "bygones be bygones." Why, they are not yet forgiven, and never will be, their conscientious opposition to the bubble of free trade, al though eight years have elapNed ; and time, with wheat at 808. a quarter, has proved that they were perfectly in the right. Our Ministry have net even given up their crochet of robbin g Turkey to pace the Principalities in the hands of the Power which has directly 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 fur the Porte to lose altogether provinces which it has ceased to govern, and cannot af ford to defend, than to hold them by so precarious a ;enure." We said above that we were now as far from takine . . Sebastopol as we were on the Ist of September. We were wrong in so saying, for most assuredly we are much further. At that time we had the game in our own hands. If we had sent a sufficient force—nearly treble what we did send—and insisted upon Austria allowing Omar Pacha to act effectively on the Pruth, we might—not as easily as the Tinier anticipated, however—have planted our banners on its walls. -before Christmas. Having neglected those conmon.sense precautions, —mere " by gones"—of course we have failed, and our army is be seiged, while the fire against the city lia4 stopped for three days at the date of the latest hitelligence. The worst of all these " bygones" is that they are irreparable. We protest we have now our doubts as to whether we shall ever take Sebastopol at all ; and we believe that if we do, it will be after many, many months blokade, and not by active siege operations. The first process it appears which Ministers now con template is to leave our army to freeze through the long winter months upon the coldest and most exposed pro montory in the proverbially " inhospitable" Enxine. Surely they do not expect . that this force will be ready fur active operations after such an exposure. If they should be so, they are the must 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, lot us suppose the long winter over, in what state will things be in the Crimeaat the approach of spring The Russian army, which will have passed its winter in snug quarters at Simpheropol and 13;1 tchi-Serai, w be reinforced probably to 200,000 men ; far, notwith standing the assertions of the Timex, travelling in winter after the frost sets in is easy in Russia—transporting provisions still easier ; and they will be well supplied with all necessary materiel and provisions, for as has been well observed by a correspondent we have overlooked the district above Tagranrogoltogetheras sources ofsupply. It is obvious that commencing the siege a second time, without investing the north Fide as well as the south, would be mere folly. We shall therefore have to fight a campaign in order to drive the relieving army out of the Crimea, before we can attempt even to commence our approaches. Well, let us once more suppose the Crimea cleared of the enormous army which the Czar will have collected, the last Cessa,ck .driven beyond Perecop, the isthmus rendered as unattackable as Kalafat, and that the allied army has returned to commence the siege. We can hardly conceive all this to be aceompli3hed before the latter end of July or beginning of August. We shall thee require for investment 10,000 men a mile, accord ing to the Duke of Wellington ; at this rate, 13 miles — at a calculation which even Mr. Gladstone could make —gives us 139,000 men. Now, it must be remembered that as the harbour of Sebastopol cuts off the investing army from all power of assisting one wing by succours from another—and, as the garrison—say 40,000 men — will occupy a central position, they can bring a prepon derating force to Lear upon any point of the ciroumfer ence. We merely mention this as a fact, for we do not expect the Russians to make 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 preparations making by the Czar, we :quote a e letter recently received from a friend at Berlin ; •the writer is a Swede : " Ina public-house (at nerlin) I mat six Enzlisinen. They had conic through Hollend, cn route to Russia, to superintend the casting Of lonerange Leneastee guns for Cronstadt. Thousands of men are et weak on all the Gulf ports." Now, it is hardly likely that Saba ;topol will be nee lected, or that some of the patriotie. Enelishinen iW question will not be sent to cast Lancasters iu the Rus sian Woclwich. Taking all Cave things into conside• ration, wo ask, may we not file: ourselves approachiner the white.. of 1355,.a,nd Seba ; t6pel not yet taken ? Meanwhillc, all thceo preperatione are going on, and before the season for operations commences, our unfor tunate army will have team hung up to dry for eix months in the north winds, 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 have absorbed during their four months' residence in the Valley of Devna, called by the Turks that of Death. Good help ou r p oor fellows ! for wo grieve to say that England, at least as represented by her press, seems in - clined to Sacrifice them e for the purpose of keeping in :~ ' [PRICE SD• place a most incompetent and mischievous set of men, simply because they are squeezable, and,that every petty knot and faction of politicians in the land can coerce them into doing whatever those little kriots and factions deem advisable for their own petty and individual interests. Enough for to-day. We conclude with recommending all whom our words may reach, to reflect deeply upon the necessary results of " ik,ttinl• bygones be bygoces," with an assurance tlT►t if they adniit the pled they ill fioa atnorErst the `I byzones" of the coining year the honour of Eogiatid, th..! alhanca of France, and t'ie axistenc& of the Turkish empiro. THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA. (From the ilfoiltidtg Chronicle.) A. treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, has been signed between Austria and the Western Powers ; but, AS the arrangement is understood to be of a hypothetical room ce dependent on conditions expressed in the instru ment itself, we are as yet unable ta appreciate its prac tical value and importance with reference to the imme diate interests of the great struggle in which England and France are engaged. The event, which we an nounce was expected some months bee:, 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 tit 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 need scarcely say, withdraw our minds, for one instant from the battle-field upon which England and France 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 lo keep the enemy quiet tier some time, has turned out to be well founded. 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 eatianineity, since it seems 'indisputable that theßussians in the field have exertedtheir utmost skill, land 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 anyforce 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 ley the Government to enable our troops to meet the rigours of the season have geen temporarily neutralised 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 shipped from this country before the authorities had had the benefit of the numerous suggestions 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, measureslad been taken for repairing it. As soon as the telegraphic intelligence 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 larke portion of it has already been despatched to the Crimea. The only pos sible complaint that can, in this instance, 13e urged against Ministers, is that they acted so promptly as not even to taketime to consider the conflicting merits, of the various winter garments that have been pressed on their approval. The beneficial discussion of questjons of this kind would be 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 ie admitted to have been rightly done, the entire credit is unceremoniously appropriated by lookers on. Even this, however, is more tolerable 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 contempotary basset hinaself 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 too bad that all the details of' the battle of Inkertnan 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 too 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 argu ment. The particulars which appear elsewhere of the losses sustained in the gale of the 14th tilt, are melancholy enough • but the calamity is not without its consola tions. ? 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, and the anxiety of the authorities to forward them to their destination without a 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 ashore 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 off in boats, and thus escaped being carried prisoners to Sebastopol. Our heaviest loss was sustained on the dangerous rocks adjoinin g 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 other transports, have been lost. The troops taken out by the Prince had been already landed ; but valuable, 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 these vessels, but the particulars are not yet known, and we would fain hope that further intelligence may dis close some mitigation of this sad disaster. The French transports that were stranded were of smaller size, and consequently far less costly ; but we regret to learn that our allies had to destroy the -line-ofsbattle ship Henri Quatre, and the Pluton steamer, and that the crews of their small transports were captured by' the Cossacks. This severe lesson in the dangers of the Black Sea has warned the Admirals to make their arrangements for the winter. The sailing vessels have been mostly sent to Buyukdere and Sinope, and the duties of supplying and reinforcing the army will be principally discharged by steamers. The damaged. 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 necessary, for the Euxine. It is, at all events, satisfactory know that the presence of the greater number of one to transports off the Crimean coast is now a ltogether need; less, as it is certain that the Allied ...armies are able to maintain their position against an y force which the enemy can bring against them. ~~ L 2 ~~~~~ mai Waugh many d fiat o**.ni frivi the Crimea. The profuse publication of prieate letters from that quarter is of unspeakable advantage. We read in old- chronicles of generals, ou the eve of some great battle, wandering under cloud of night from tent to tent, - listening to the gossip of the soldiers. Doubtless - they heard many grumbles of malingerers, many rash judg ments of conceit and ignorance ; but at times they picked up useful suggestions, and, most important of all, they learned the temperand 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 thisie • letters is to be despised or superciliously cast aside. Ana.. 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 generarpublic, in reading the documents referred to, will do well to bear in mind, that though it is evk'e It there is Much in our military arrangements that calls ur , entiv for reform, the organisation of the army has teen itnmensely improvel Alive the beginning of the l'ehlasular war. What we want now is, not an army reform bill, 'but the perfectiuu of details left incotnp?c to by the searching reforms introduced in consequence of our Peninsular experience. What seems most wanted is an augmentation of- our light elvalry, for picket and outpost service, and for patrols r eel - improved organisa tion of the commi s sariat and taw) s pu r t services ; and an addition 'to the strength of the medic d departmen t, a nd its attendants. The understanding of Messrs. Pet° 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 able for many emergencies ; they might be usefully re• placed by such a corps as here suggested. From the consideration of, our own army, we turn . to that of the enemy. It is to be feared there is toe' much truth in the eeports in circulation respecting the atrocities perpetrated by the Russian soldiers. We are told, indeed, that the Russian generals and'their staffs are brave and chivalrous. This may be true of some of them ; blit it is obvious that not a few, even of this superior class, have become in the campaigns of the Caucasus and the military operations on the Russian frontier towards Tartary, soldiers of the same stamp as the Tillys and Wallensteins of the Thirty Years' War. Arid 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 a from their lords to travel in search of employment, upon the condition of paying tribute out of their yearly earn ings: Thesemen soon become pomades, without a home 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 indel'e during the winter Months :in every sensual pleasure their summer 's earnings can obtain for 'them. Such men are the materials ant of which to make hardy and unscrupulous soldiers ; and when hounded upon their foes by priestly exhortatiene, in which the excitements of bigotry and avarice are blashphemously blended, there is no atrocity of which they are not capable. It is the duty of our Caminan lders not to shrink from the sternest measures required to intimidate the Russian Government and its Generals into the exercise of a more vigorous oontrol of th a 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 unflinching courage and the devoted selfsaciifice of our soldiers. One to four, or one to seven they have thrown themselves into the breach to conquer or die. Are the meats by which the necessary resources are to be raised at home to be attended with equal sacrifices? Are our merchants ned tritclers, our industrious and hardworking produzers of every kind to be half ruined before a sound financial system be substituted for the present annoma ions and pernicious one ? We tell Mr. Gladstone that if he 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 a, rogant ignorance to sneer, but which enabled Mr; Pitt to do—what Mr. Gladstone can only humbly hope to emulate him in doing—viz., to carry this country safely and successfully through a great European war. A. Bank Restriction Act, or some measure sithilar in its operation to that bold inexsure 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 Rnsiiian Autocrat in which we are engaged. AUSTRIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS. (From, the Mo sing Post.) It will be seen, from the important despatch which wit publish in another column, and which we were the first to make public in an extraordinary edition yesterdai t that the anticipations in which we indulged ten dayiitgo, and the expectations we have .not ceased constantly t 9 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 ^d inst., the Plenipotentiaries of England, France, and Austria, signed, as we are infer coed hy_ the French official Afoniteur, a Treaty of Alliance. Till the formal ratification; are exchanged, the public cannot, of course, be placed in possession of the text and 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 caurse, 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 po,sible 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 Russian 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 ho 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 ArnioasslSPßie 26th ' Into its merits, those of the joint prOfoOrsition presented'by AuS tri3. 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 tha t 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 Poivers; 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. suc9essfulissue. But that great and noble war in which they are engaged has for its im mediate object the advantage of er State in whose inte grity and independence Austria is.more than any othlr 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 a ct announced by the Monitotir seals a new resolution and a I better course. . LOSS OF THE NILE STEAMER. On Saturday information arrived in town of the total wreck of the fine iron screw steam -ship the Nile, 400 tons, Captain Moffat commander, belonging to the Dub lin Steam Packet Company, while o n 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 to tho northward of St. Ives Bay, on the western coast of Cornwall. The London agents, Messrs. Hartley and Co., were apprised on Wednesday evening of the Nile having loft . Liverpool on the preceding night, and nothing farther was heard of her until one o'clock on Saturday, when a telegraphic message was received that the Nile steamer had been lost near Portreath, and 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 thet o havecka s t c on n et that asthethe h .
