Tar LANcAsTuu GUN.—A. correspondent observes : " There is one possible cause of the tendency of the Lan caster guns to burst which I have not seen noticed. Any inequality in the thickness of a gun barrel, it is well known, renders it liable to burst. Now, it would seem that the Lancaster, like other great guns, is originally cat and bored of a circular form. The internal ellipse is then produced by an additional hallowing out above and below. The upper and lower parts of the gun must consequently be thinner than the sides. This must occa sion unequal resistance to the explosive force of the pow der, and of course a liability to give way at the points of least resistance.

The Palter, screw gunboat, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning after her trial cruise in the Channel, which has fully developed her seaworthy and gunnery qualities to the satisfaction of the inspecting officers, who have made their report to the Admiralty. She wont into Portsmouth harbour to replenish coal. The Cossack left Sheerness yesterday for Devonport. There is a private leak from some of the through pipes, by which she has lately been snaking 30 inches every 24 hours. She ie to be docked there, in order to make good this defect ; she takes with her despatches for the Black Sea fleet, to be transferred to another ship either at Portsmouth or Devonport, her destination under her former orders having been countermanded. It ie re ported that she is to proceed towards the North Pole under sealed orders ; certain it is several of her officers have given their orders for warm clothing to be sent to them at Devonport. The Curlew remains in harbour at Sheerness, wait ing orders. Surgeon William T.

GREVILLE." peller, we pasied twice round her, and then saw between two and three hundred people on her deck. By order of Captain Luce, ono boat, containing the first officer, Mr. Gem-lie, the boatswain, and four or five sailors, was ;sent to her relief ; but before they returned he ascertained the fearful extent of the damage to our own vessel. The pro peller had struck her with terrible force, making a large hole in her starboard bow, through which the water was pouring in a torrent. Soon after the collision, I, with others, rushed upon deck, having no apprehensions, how ever, as to her safety; but in a very short time r►e were made aware of the terrible reality. The boat arrived from the propeller, but Captain Luce refused to take the men on board, as he knew they could -be of no assistance, and that it was better to keep them in readiness to receive the passengers. The firemen and engineers, driven from their post by the water, now came on deck, increasing the num ber of the terror-stricken crowd. Every one now prepared himself for the worst. The life-preservers were brought into requisition, and a portion of the crew set themselves to work in the construction of rafts. The two fore-yard arms were cut down and lashed together ' making a raft about forty feet long and three or four feet wide. I was engaged with the rest in making this raft, and Mr. Dorian, the third mate, toqk a most ac tive part in the work. When it was finished, we launched it on the larboard side, and in a few minutes after there were about 70 persons clinging to it, four of whom were women. Several ether nails were made, but none of them so large as that on which I was engaged. Doors, barrels, and, in fact, everything that floated was used. On some of these there were two or throe, but the largest could not support more than four or five. I remained on the vessel till she sank, when I went down with her. I had been employed a taw minutes before with two others, one of whom was called " Tom the store keeper," in lashing some casks together, when I was driven away by the water, which was now rushing in with fear ful impetuosity. Jumping upon the paddle-box, I sprang on the saloon deck, and in an instant was engulphed in the surging waters, which soon closed over our heads. Down, down we sank with our noble vessel into the bosom of the ocean, and the terrible thought toot: possession of my mind that I was drowning ; that I should never see my dear friends and my home again. I retained my conscious ness, however, all the time I was under the water, and it was with a feeling of intense joy that I found, after about half a minute, that I was r a pidly r i s i n g towards the sur face. It was all darkness before, but now I could see a dim light above me, and in a few seconds I was on the top of the water struggling for life. Being a good swimmer, and having besides the support of a life-preserver, I succeeded in reaching a door, which was floating a few feet from where I rose. I looked around me, but there was no trace of the vessel except a few loose timbers and the rafts which were floating about, some with and others without passen gers. Finding Icould not retain my hold of the door with safety, I left it, and swam to a barrel which lay a few feet from me : from this I again swam to the large raft, which had, as I have said, about seventy persons clinging to it. The sea, though not strong, was rough, and the waves, as they dashed over it, washed away a portion of its living freight. I shall never forget the awful scene. There we were, in the midst of the ocean , w ith ou t t h e s li g h test hope of assistance, while every minute one or more of our unfor tunate fellow passeng ers were dropping i n t o th e i r wa t ery grave from sheer exaustion. Those who had life pre servers did not sink, but floated with their ghastly faces upwards, reminding thoss who still rem a i ne d a li ve o f t h e fate that awaited them. In the midst of all this, thank'heiven, I never lost bops, but retained my courage to the last. One by one I saw nay unfortunate companions drop off ; some of them floated off, and were eaten and gnawed by fishes, while others were washed under the raft, and remained with me till I was rescued. I could see their faces iu the openings as they were swayed to and fro by the waves, which threatened every moment to wash them off. The raft at one time was so crowded that many had to hold on by ono hand. Very few. words were spoken by any, and the only sound we heard was the splash of the waters or the heavy breathing of the poor sufferers, as they tried to recover their breath after a wave had passed over them. Nearly all were sub merged to the arm-pits, while a fow could with great diffi culty keep their heads above the surface. The women were the first to go. They were unable to stand the exposure more than three or four hours. They all fell off the raft without a word, except one poor girl, who cried out, in intense agony, " Oh, my poor mother and sisters." When I was about 18 hours on the raft there were not more than three or four left. One of these gave me what appeared to be a small map, but which I understood him to.say was a sort of title-deed to his property. In a few moments after I took it, he toe unloosed his hold and was added to the number that floated about the raft. I endeavoured to get the paper into my pocket, but found this impossible on account of my cramped posi tion, so I placed it between my teeth, and held there till I was overwhelmed by a wave, when I lost my hold of it, and it was washed away. Another, who had an oiled skin ceat on, called on me, for Heaven's sake, to assist him, as his strength was rapidly failing, and he must fall off if not relieved. As he was about four or five feet from me it was difficult to reach him ; but, after considerable exertions, I succeeded in doing so, and helped him with one of my knees until I become quite faint, when I was obliged to leave him to his fate. Poor follow, lie promised me, if ho ever got to New York alive, he would reward me well. He clung with terrible tenacity to life, but he, too, dropped off in bia turn. I was now left alone on the raft ; not a solitary being was alive, out of seventy ; but still my hope con tinned strong. The night of the second day was about closing on me, and during the whole time I had been in the water I had not eaten a particle of anything or drunk a chop. My strength I round was beginning to give way, and my sight had become so dim that I could not perceive objects a few feet off; oven the ghastly faces of the dead, that looked up at ins from under the raft, were hardly discernible. I determined on making ono more effort for life; I raised mysel on my knees upon the raft, and through the-dusk of the even ing I saw, or thought I saw, a vessel. My strength seemed to revive, and in a few minutes I heard the voices of per sons in a boat approaching me. Ten minutes more and I too would have gone, but Providence had mercy ou and after twenty-six hours' exposure I wad by its mercy preserved from a watery grave. The boat, I afterwards learned, belonged to the Huron, and was manned by Mr. Dorian, the third mate of the Arctic, Captain Green, one of the passengers, and some sailors. One of the men caught hold of me by the collar, and dragged me into the bow of the boat, where I lay in the last stage of exhaustion till I was transferred on board the Huron, from which vessel I was placed on the Lebanon, and finally on the pilot b oat Christian Berg, on board of which I arrived at this port. OFFICIAL VISIT TO CHATHAM. • The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, arrived at Sheerness from Chatham yesterday at 12.30 p.m., with Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., &c., and the Hon. Wm. Francis Cowper, M.P., Lords of the Admiralty, accom panied by Colonel Green, of the engineer department. Their lordships landed at the dockyard, and were re ceived by the Captain-Superintendent, John J. Tucker, and the principal officers. Their lordships, with the Captain-Superintendent, first proceeded to the Admi ral's-offices, and there inspected the electric telegraph ; they afterwards, at ended by the principal officers, visited the victualling stores, the smithery, and the ships' galley range workshops, and took their departure at 3 p.m. THE ENGINE-ROOM TELEGRAPH. Captain Crispin's, R.N., patent engine-room telegraph is completed on board the Royal Albert. It communi cates from the conning stations on both sides of the poop direct to the engine-room by a connecting galvanized wire of sufficient strength to insure security. On Tues day last a satisfactory trial took place under the imme diate superintendence of Mr. Rumbel, chief engineer. This ship is also fitted with Mr. Bonney's patent gutta percha speaking tubes, which together must give every security in communications from the poop to the engine room. Capt. Crispin's engine-room telegraph is now in use on board the above ship, the Colossus, and Malacca. INSPECTION OF SHIPS. Captain Sir Balwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Nary, visited Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday, and made a cursory inspection of the ships in progress, espe cially the Wrangler gun-boat, and the Pelter, GUN PRACTICE. The Artillery gun target practice has been going on now from the saluting battery at Sheerness, on the cen tre bastion, for several days past. The practice has been highly creditable. The guns are long 32-pounders. The practice on Wednesday was by Captain Romer's company, who were engaged .at the Cape last Kaffir war. Lieuts. Batchelor and Carey were the working officers. The target was at 1,600 yards, and not one of the shots fell five yards over or short, right or Left, of the target. This company are daily expected to receive orders to proceed to the seat of war iu the East. ADMIRAL DUNDAS. The following letters have been published by the Morning Herald : The Editor of the Times presents his compliments to the Editor of the Morning Herald, and has to request that the Editor of the Morning Herald will publish with equal prominence his reply to the letter from Mr. Dundas which appears in the Morning Herald of this day. It would have been more consistent with the "fair play" which Mr. Dundas claims to have waited to re ceive this reply before publishing his own. letter. Printing house-square, Oct. 25. (Copy.) Printing-house-square, Oct. 24. The Editor of the Times presents his compliments to Mr. Dundas, and begs to assure him that hi, father shall receive all the " fair play" that even his son can " claim" at his hands. As to the "private motive" of which Mr. Dundas writes, the Editor is aware of none but a strollg desire to put the• most favourable construction upon the con duct of an old acquaintance, from whom lie has received many civilities, and generally on that of every officer holdioc , so responsible a post. Mr. Dundas invokes the "code of honour among the officers of her Majesty's navy" against the correspondent who writes from her Majesty's ship Agamemnon. The Editor is content to leave him under the juris diction of the same code, equally confident with Mr. Dundas of a directly opposite conclusion. Mr. Dundas need not be informed that the acts of an admiral, to whom is entrusted a principal share in One of the greatest expeditions of modern times, are neces sarily amenable to public criticism. Nothing which has ever appeared in the Times has over-stepped the fair limits 'of such criticism, and Mr. Dundas may rest assurred 'that nothing will ever ap pear which will deserve from less partial judges such epithets as " persecuting venom," or " continued abuse."

We are glad 'to End the recommendations of the mili tary commission, in reference to this gallant branch of the public service, have been confirmed by the following order in council:— " At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 13th day of Sept., 1854. Present, the Queen's Most Ex cellent Majesty in Counoil. "Whereas there was this day read at the board a memorial of the Right Honourable the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, dated the sth day of August last, in the words following, viz. Whereas we have had under our consideration the report of the commis sioners appointed by your Majesty to inquire into the several modes of promotion and retirement i■ your Ma jesty's military forces, and it being highly desirable that i❑ any changes that may be adopted in reference to pro motion in the army the condition of the' Royal Marine corps should not las overlooked, we would venture, raost humbly, to submit to your Majesty, with the view of keeping alive in that meritorious corps the spirit and zeal so essential to tkeir efficiency, the following propo sitions : " 1. That officers, after actually serving in the rank of lieutenant-colonel, or on the staff, in situations neces sarily held by lieutenant-colonels for three years, be given the rank of colonel. " 2. That field officers, whose commissons as such date prior to the 19th June, 1854, be allowed to rise by brevet, as under the regulations now in force ; but no officer, not then of the rank of lieutenant.colonel, to rise to that of colonel, otherwise than by three years' service in the former rank, or as a reward for distinguished ser ♦ice, or by appointment as aide-de-cramp to your Ma jesty. -3, That the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, with the sanction of your Majesty, or the Com mander-in-Chief of the Forces, should exercise the power of appointing colonels of Marines to commands as major generals, without reference to seniority ; or that colo nels or lieutenant-colonels may be selected to serve as field-officers of Marine; embarked in the fleet, without reference to seniority. _ _ " 4. That periodical brevets be prospectively abo lished. " G. That there shall be a fixed establishment of 10 general officers of Marines, of whom two may be gene rals, three lieutenant-generals, and five major-generals. ' 6. That in addition to the above established list of general officers of Marines, the rank of major-general shall be given to all qualified officers holding the rank of colonel on retired full pay of the rank in which they were last serving, whenever any officer, originally junior to there in the rank of colonel, may become major-gene ral on the established list of general officers of Marines, but without further increase of pay. ." 7. That those general officers who may henceforth be allowed to receive the retired full pay of the rank in which they last served, shall be placed, according to their seniority, in the same list with the other general officers of Marines, but their names, for convenience of reference; to have an asterisk prefixed is them, or to be printed in italics. " 8. That every vacancy on the fixed list of general officers be filled either by the senior major-general, or by the senior colonel serving on the strength of the corps, unless there should be a supernumerary officer (as here after explained), in which case the supernumerary should fill the vacancy ; and if there be more than one super numerary, a promotion shall take place in every second vacancy only, until the supernumerary number be re duced. " 9. That promotions shall be made in the ranks of field officers below the rank of colonel, from time to time, or as vacancies occur in the major -generals' list, with a view to secure to those officers that promotion in the Marines which they would have obtained under the present system. "' 10. That an addition to the colonels promoted to be major-generals under the foregoing rules, colonels of Marines shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of major-general, lieutenant-general, or general, either for brilliant service in the field or afloat, or in consequence of having hold commands with temporary rank, as gene- THE LOSS OP THE ARCTIC. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—1 t was not until the day after the mails left for the late steamer from Boston to Liverpool that the appalling news reached us of the loss of the steam-ship Arctic, by collision, near Cape Race ; and as we did not hear of the almost unparalleled calamity until fourteen days after it occurred it is probable that you received the mournful intelligence in England as soon as we did here. Never do I remember an event that created a m greater sensation. The entire community was in a plunged into grief and sorrow. The courts were closed, business at the Exchange was sus pended, and the flags of all the. shipping in the harbour were at half-mast. Many families mourn the loss of near relatives, and even up to to-day the offices of the Messrs. Collins and Co. aro be sieged by bereaved fathers, mothers, sisters, wives, and children—all anxious to learn whether any hope remains of the safety of those who were so near and dear to them. The Arctic left Liver pool v4th 256 passengers and a crew of 175 men, makind 431 souls. According to the reliable accounts thus far received, more than- 300 would appear to be certainly lost, G 4 of whom were swept by the sea from a hastily constructed raft. But as there are two, if not three,, boats yet to be heard of, there is a possibility that more may haveidea of. " The hope is faint ; still, it may be been saved than we have now any cherished. Tho Arctic was run into, during a dense for", by the French etc ins-propeller Vesta, which had 300 men on board, nearly thirty of whom were lost in a boat by getting too near the Arctic's wheel. Otherwise the Vesta is safe at St. John's, Newfoundland, with loss of foremast and other damage. But read the enclosed accounts. And hero I would remark that great blame is justly at tributed to both the steamers, in consequence of their going at speed across the ever foggy ranks of Newfoundland witho u t th e r i ng i ng o f bells, the screaming of the st eam - vesse l , or th e firing: of minute guns. The consumption of a few hundred weight of gunpowder would save life and prevent disaster. But all p recau ti ons of t h e ki n d appear to have been negle c t e d, w hil e, instea d , a spirit of racing across the Atl an ti c h as been i n d u l ge d in, to the utter disregard o f h uman life. A ga i n , when the collision occurred the crew soon became unma nageable, and, in most cases, thought only of saving their own lives, without even au attempt to rescue the passengers. Thus it will be seen that out of the first seventy whose names reached us as saved only twenty passengers are included. Indeed, it is said that one b oat l eft the scene of horror w ith but eight or ni ne persons on board, refus i ng t o t a k e more, although th ey ' might have saved between thirty and fo r ty ; nay, a rumour obtains cre d ence that revolver s were threatened by the unman ly ruffians in the b oa t t o prevent others from board ing. One thing is certain, namely, that there were boats enough t o save 500' people, and yet a majo rity, mostly passengers, perished. The large boat on deck, owing to the panic and confusion, was not launched, a n d went down with the ship. H opes are expressed th a t s h e would float as t h e yesse l sank, and s h e was seen to be filled, with passengers. But such hop es are pronounced by all shipmasters to be vain, as th e suction caused by the s i n ki ng steamer would inf a llibl y draw down the b oat, espe cially as she was covered with a crowd of people. Captain Luce behaved nobly, refused a rescue, and went down with his ship. Mr:Dorian, the second mate, exerted himself with humanity and courage and saved many. But the conduct of the crew, firemen, and engineers was, with a very few ex ceptions, perfectly disgraceful, cowardly, and atro cious. All discipline was set at defiance, and, in stead of the vaunted courage of the generous sailor, a mean, fright, pani c , and selfishness wore displayed. sneaking, and un man ly co urse of conduct, THE VERY LATEST. PORTIONS OF THE WRECK PASSED AT SEA. BOSTON, Oct. 12, 1854.—8 y the arrival of the Europa we hav e received the Keufoundler, published at St. Johns, Oct. 5. It censures the conduct of Governor Hamilton and the American Consul in not taking speedy a nd e ffi c i en t measures to s earc h for the survivors of the Arctic. The news of her loss reached St. John's, Sept. 30. The ship Nautilus, which arrived at St. Joh n ' s , O c t . 4th from Mirainichi, reports that, about twenty-five miles southeast of Cape Race, she saw a quantity of wrecked materials, viz : —A portion of the railing and painted deck of a large vessel, with a number of shoats, cases, casks, &c. There can be little doubt that these were portions of the wreck of the Arctic. The wind blew too hard to allow the Nautilus to save any of them. BOSTON, Oct. 13, 1 854.—The Newfoundland papers re ceived here by the Europa make no mention of the pro peller Vesta having rescued thirty-one of the crow of the Arctic. We have therefore no confirmation, as yet, of the despatch received from Halifax yesterday, HALIFAX, Oct. 13, Noon.—Nothing further as to the Arctic has reached this port up to the present time. THE PROPELLER VESTA AND THE ARCTIC'S CREW, The fact that the Newfoundland papers of as late a date as the sth inst. make no mention of the Vesta's having brought in any of the crew of the Arctic, induces the be lief that the despatch from Halifax, on Thursday afternoon, referred to the persons who were previously r e p or t e d as having b ean l an d e d near St. John 's. Efforts were made yesterday to have this point cleared up, but the Halifax line cloned last evening before an answer could be obtained from.our correspondent at that place. TWENTY-SIX HOURS ON A RAFT. STATEMENT OF PETER WOAD% We left Liverpool on the 20th of Septembe r and up to Wednesday, th e 27th , not hi ng particularly worthy of note occurred. About twelve o'clock of that day, wh en w e were about 40 miles off Cape Race, and enveloped in a fog, we came in collision with some unknown vessel, which was afterwards, however, found to be a propeller. The Arctic was running at the rate of thirteen knots an hour, but the concussion appeared so slight that no one on board, not even the captain, supposed that the damage was so exten sive. His fears were only excited by the condition of the other vessel, which it was believed must be in a sinking state. Immediately after the collision, the propeller passed us on the starboard side, when it was discovered that her bows were completely stove in; and that she was otherwise extensively damaged. Our course was instantly reversed, by orders of the captain, and we went in pursuit of the vessel, for the purpose of rendering her all the assistance in our power, little imagining that we were so much in need of jt ourselves at the time. On coming up with the pro- STAIIIMSNT OF HR. FRANCIS DORIAN. If the officers and men had remained by the ship, all or nearly all of the passengers would have been saved. They fled, and it was only until two hours after their desertion that the main yard was lowered to enable them to form a raft. He says that with the masts, spars, and the cutting off of the hurricane deck, a raft could have been formed capable of carrying the whole ofthem. He further states, that among . the passengers on board the Arctic he never saw men more coolly courageous, and that their quiet resignation and implicit confidence in the captain and officers of the ship were such as it is impossible to surpass. Oars incident particularly attracted his attention, and that was the fidelity exhibited by a young gentleman named Holland,. of Washington, who was on board the Arctic for the purpose of gaining instruction in engineer ing. He had been deputed by the captain to fire the signal gun (when all others had fled), and amid the melancholy wail he pursued his duty. Whets all hope had fled, and the vessel nearly level with the sea, Hol land was seen busy at his gun. His last shot boomed out as the Arctic sank, and he went down with her— pereevering in the strict performance of his duty. To the wholesale desertion of the officers and men Dorian attributes the great loss of life that followed. • Captain Luce, he says, behaved nobly throughout, but towards the close his veice lost its powor, and he could scarcely find utterance for his words. The last he saw of him he was standing on the star board paddle-box, and when the Arctic was erigulphed he looked long, but looked in vain, for the floating form of his commander. _ _ _ --......—..---. When, finally, they left the ship, with thirty-one in one of Francis' metallic life-boats, it was necessary to use despotic means to keep every man in the bottom of the boat to prevent nu upset. In this crouching position they were kept, with the water within six incnes of the gunwale, for twenty-six hours, and the majority, when rescued by the Huron, were unable to walk. On board that ship they were treated with the greatest kindness, the captain and sailors sharing everything they had with the unfortunate men. The New York Herald gives the following number : Total number of pessengere •I officers and crew Total Saved Missing, supposed lost from the Arctic ~ 401 103 293 The Nee York herald says :—When we announced the terrible news, the metropolis assumed the appear ance of one great funeral. This feeling spread through all classes of the, community. Tho bu,iness streets, usually so gay and bustling, were filled with little groups of men whose solemn countenances showed that they were fully impressed with the belief that no common disaster had befallen the city. In the home circle the matter was talked over in whispers, and everywhere was expressed the deepest regret at the occurrence, and the most profound sympathy for the relatives and friends of those on board. The ship Cambria arrived at Quebec (not Montreal), She picked up the three following persons from the Arctic :—Captain Luce, George F. Allan, of New York, and James Smith, of Edinburgh. DESCRIPTION OF THE ARCTIC. The Arctic was the third built of the Collins line. She was constructed in I S5O by Mr. Wm. IL Brown, at the foot of Twelfth-street, East River, and had been always under the command of Capt. Luce. She was considered one of the staunchest vessels ever built. Her hull was encased with strong iron diagonal braces, in addition to all the other modern improvements in shipbuilding that could be applied to render her as strong as wood and iron could possibly make her. Her tonnages was 2,856 75-95 the Government measurement, or about 3,500 car penters' measurement—the measurement usually em ployed in speaking of a vessel. Her dimensions were as follows :_Length, 285 feet ; breadth of beam, 45 feet (across the paddles 76), depth of hold, 32 feet 11A inches. Her dining saloon was 75 feet long, and 20 wide, and the withdrawing saloon 65 feet long by 40 wide ; and by their rich and elegant style of furnishing excited the surprise and admiration of everybody. The machinery of the vessel was from the foundry of Messrs. [PRICE SD. Stillman, Allen and Co., and consisted of two side lever engines, of 1,000 horse power. Each cylinder was 95 inches in diameter, with a stroke of 10 feet. She cost in building $600,000, and was insured in England for 60,0001. sterling, and in this country for $310,000. making a total of $600,000. She was provided with boats sufficient for 500 persons. Her cargo was light— probably not more than half an average— as is usual at this season of the year—and was insured for $300,000, principally in Wail-street. FORTIFICATIONS OF SEBASTOPOL. The Journal des Debits gives the following very in teresting account of the fortifications of Sebastopol. It is from the pen of a distinguished officer, Colonel St. Ange, now one of the redacteurs of the Deka:, but for merly the head of the staff to Marshal Suohet, Duke d'Albifera. He was with the Marshal throughout the Spanish campaign, and was the first to enter the breach at the storming of Aragon : "It is the fortifications at present attacked to the south of the town which we intend speaking of, and not the forts of the harbour. It will suffice for us to remind our readers that these forts, to the number of 11, line both sides of the harbour, and that six of them, running along the town itself, belong to the military port and to the southern shore, the side on which the combined army is operating. We shall start from the west, the side of the Quarantine, to follow the profile of the town and of the port to the river Tchernaya on the east, a circuit which takes in the double front of attack of the .English and the French. Let us first give. an idea of the general aspect of the place. The site of Sebastopol consists of a series of platforms running up a steep accli vity from the sea to the high hills which tower over it at the, distance of a league and a half, and from the top of which is unfolded the whole panorama of the town and harbour. Nearer; that ensemble ceases to be visible, and even the fops of the masts are no longer seen, So deeply does the site sink down to the level of the road sted and of the port. From this configuration of the ground, it comes to pass that the town is built one part' over the other, so as to form an amphitheatre, like Al giers, but better built, as its construction is quite modern, dating from 1790. The transverse streets, parallel to the roadstead, communicate with each other only by steep ascents ; but at their extremities there are lines of communication. of . a less abrupt character for vehicles. The town contains several monuments, and amongst others, the churches, and principally all the buildings of the navy, the arsenal, the barracks, and the hospitals. The population is about 40,000 in ordinary times, including 20,000 soldiers eir sailors. The 20,000 civil inhabitants are employes of all kinds, pereong from the navy and the army on half-pay, a few shop-keepers, and some workmen and fishermen. The reader must bear in mind this fact, that not one of the great forts situated outside the town on the harbour can protect it against attacks by land, and that the two batteries of the Quarantine, situated at the lower part of the out ward ground, cannot aid in its defence. When the Russian Government conceived the plan of a great for tified place to command the Black Sea, it had all these ports constructed at an immense expense, and the double and triple storeys of their casemated batteries give them such a formidable aspect that they have been even com pared to the fortifications at Malta. The roadsted and port are, in fact, almost unattackable by see, but the town itself was never fortified ; all that was done being to draw round it a weak wall, merely intended to pro- / tect it against a coup de main. The Russian Cabinet could never have imagined that an Anglo-French army of 100,000 men would one day land in the Crimea, to lay siege td Sebastopol. At present that that extraordinary fact is being realised in the most serious manner, it has been necessary to think of fortifying the town on the land-side, and that is what the Russians have been doing for the last three months. The Quarantine bay on the west (the extreme left of the attack), is defended by the double battery of the same name. Near that spot is Fort Alexander, and by the side of that fort, a battery, called the battery of Sebastopol, besause it forms part of the town itself. From this battery runs a crenelated wall for musketry, about a kilometre (ths of an English mile) in length, which runs up the steep hill to the top, where is a large round fort, with twenty guns on the platform, and surrounded below with a bat tery, the rampart of which is 20 feet high. The wall and the bastion have a ditch in front, but there is neither covers(' way nor glacis in front of this ditch. The French being charged with the attack on the left, will probably have to bombard the fort, after which they will command the bay as well as the Quarantine battery, and even the whole of the western side of the town. But they will have other obstacles to overcome before arriving there. Under the cannon of the round fort is situated a large fortified barrack, which has been lately flanked by several strong works. From that barrack runs a wall entirely surrounding the town, the port, the arsenal, to beyond the careening basin, to wards the trohernaya ' at the extremity of the roadsted, which gives a development of from 6 to 8 kilometres (froin 3 to 5 English miles), including the sinuosities. This wall is three lest thick, is crenelated, and has in front a ditch, the earth of which has been thrown in front to form a glacis, covering the mason-work in many places. This wall is not terraced, that is, does not form a rampait above oh which artillery can be placed. But on the points where, in a regular fortification, there would be ba,tions, the Russians have raised batteries, in the form of cavaliers, firing abJvc the wall. The dis arming of their lino-of-battle ships has furnished them with the means of providing al their works with artil lery of large calibre, and they have without doubt plenty of sear to serve them, more or less expert. This imper fect system of fortification cannot have any value, except by the tenacity of the besieged, by their great number,' and by the ability of the engineers. The entrance of the line is defended by the Fort of Aktiar, raised en a high point at the top of the town. At a little distance from this fort commence three ravines descending to the road med. One, on the west, terminates by the Quarantine Bay.; another, in the centre, cute the town into two Un equal parts ; and, the third, on the east, descends right to the north to form the port, which is the prolongation of that same ravine, into the sea. It is principally at the lower opening of this ravine, and on the western side of the port, that are accumulated the defences, for (even should the ships-of-the-line be burned by the Russians) it is still important for them to prevent all access to this port, particularly that ofs the Feubourg of Kerbelnaia, on the eastern side. If the besiegers on the right, the English, seize on this faubourg, whilst the French have made themselves masters of the round fort, the town would find itself between two fires, and so overwhelmed with bombs, balls, and shells, that no garrison could remain there. But it is to be noted that this garrisbn cannot be forced to capitulate, not being blockaded, and that the Russians, when at the end of th e i r efforts in the town, w ill always be at liberty to cress the roalsted, and take refuge in the forts of the northern side. Amongst the works destined to defend the ravine of the port, two great 'batteries in the form of towers are mentioned—a recent construction, said to be built of stone and brick. From want of time to raise a third tower at the bottom of the fort the Russians have placed a line-of-battie ship to perform the duty lof a battery against the mouth of the ravine. Besides, the works are still going on, night and day; without inter ruption. One-half of the garrison' is occupied with them, and all the able-bodied inhabitants are obliged to take part in them. Sebastopol is commanded almost on every side by hills rising one over the other to a great ieight, as already stated. But the nearest hills have been for a long time back levelled by works which lasted 12 years ; and the earth taken from them was removed to the side of the Quarantine or to certain ll+ lows w hi c h m i g h t f ac ili tate the approac h es. Th ere is not consequently any height now commanding the town within 500 or 600 yards of the place. But beyond that radius, the Russians occupied with strong redoubts seve ral elevated positions which have forced the besiegers to open the trenches at an unusual distance, 1,500 to 1,800 metres from the place, it is said. Although these posi tions were only fortified by earthworks where a sudden a sault might be attempted, the Allied generals have pre ferred operating by rule to sacrificing good soldiers, whose devotedness and bravery will be requirei at a later period for decisive blows. The redoubts of which we are speaking were to have been battered in breach and taken, we cannot say at what date. The besieging army will then b e pushed forward on that ground to make its trenches against the place itself. However, outside the wall round the town it will be necessary to batter down and destroy some works protecting it on the weak est points. In fine, all these works and constructions raised in haste cannot have the stability and resistance of a real permanent fortification. Although the Russians are provided with large cannons, such pieces are not sufficient without good ramparts. It is, besides, proved by the experience of all sieges that the fire of the be sieging party has always an advantage over that of the very e very strong pl ace , b eca use the fire of the attack i !I.ls 0 ways convergent, whereas that of the defence is, _ have considered divergent. Such is the sketch whichiw .hsce, considered it right to give of the fortifications o f PI the inevitable fall of which, under the effo r ts a 6 of the t bravo armies of England and Fratce, oannot fail to pro duce a great sensation in Europe. ___'--r"--"--- ---- - --- ----- , ALLEGr.D ILL-TRIZATILINT 01, THE POOR IN I,I3fIIETTI WORKIIOUSE.—Yesterday Mr. Alfred Austin and Mr. R.

An in (fuiry of painful interest is now in progress, before Mr. Whately, Q•C.• acting as arbiter by appoint ment of the Co ur t of Exchequer, in a libel suit insti tuted by the foreign secretary of the London Mis sionary society. England has reason to be proud of its missionary exertions. The sums which ere raised and expended annually in support of its foreign missions ex ceed the revenues of many second rate states. The per sistence in such efforts is a proof of deep-rooted and sin cere religious conviction ; and even those who do not participate in these convictions have been obliged to admit the valuable services of our missionaries as agents and heralds of higher civilisation. But the more important and sacred the character of these mis• sionary efforts, the more the necessity that those en ' trusted with the direction of them ehonld themselves be pure. Our organised missionary societies, with their . numerous permanent subscribers, and their u ell- e. ; discipimed staffs of officials, approach to the charac ter of wealthy churches. They are powerful bodies ; and if self-seekers and impure men can insinuate them selves into their management they may do incalculable mischief. The very statement of the case of the foreign secretary of the London Missionary Society suggests a and been fear that at have fr r crept o a ofamong worldly censure. Into the case of the Rev. Mr. Ti dman (the foreignßobert secretary in question) against the Rev. . Ainslie, it would be premature to enter wh ile the inves tigation is still incomplete. But some features in the con troversy out of which the suit has arisen already challenge comment. Towards the close of 1852 a Rev. Mr. Davies was expelled from the Board of the London Missionary Society. Among other charges against him were one of improper connections with females during the time he was acting as a missionary in Berbice, and an otht r of writing an indecent letter to his own wife. The story of the letter appears to have been first publicly brought forward as indirect testimony against him, when the first-mentioned charge was gone into. The essential passages of this story are these : —ln October, 1845, Mr. Davies is said to have dropped a letter he had written to his wife on the floor of the Mission-house is London. In February, 1646, Mr. Davies sailed for Berbice, as a missionary in the employment of the Lon don Society, and continued there till 1848, when he re turned to this country. In 1850 reports of misconduct towards females on the pert of Mr. Davies, both in Berbice and England, having gained currency, inquiries were set on foot by several gentlemen. A Mr. Stacey, who had been, and possibly still is, one of the clerks of the mission, now produced what he asserts is the copy of the letter from Mr. Davies to hie wife, dropped on the floor of the Alission-house. Mr. Stacey, by his own story, appears to have read a letter which he knew to be addressed by another man to that man's own wife ; to have copied the letter acd kept the copy, and to have put the letter into an envelope and forwarded it to its destination. This letter, which is said to be of such a shameless character as to unfit the writer to discharge the duties of the ministry, is kept secret from 1845 to 1850. In the interim Mr. Stacey allows the Mission ary Soeiety, of which he is a confidential agent, to send nut the writer of this horrible letter as a missionary. It does not as yet clearly a p pear at w h at t i me t h e o th er members of the missionary board, or how many of them, were made cognisant of tho letter. But at least one agent of the mission, and it may be more, has, accord ing to his own account, connived at the employment of an impure character as a clergyman and missionary, and only revealed the secret of the man's culpabi lity to blacken him when charged with other offences. In the personal conflict between the 11ev. Dr. Tia man and the 11ev. Robert Ainslie the public will take marvellous little interest ; hut in the character and conduct of the teenagers of a powerful and wealthy missionary society the public has muck at stake. It will insist upon a full explanation of the mysterious and suspicious story of the Davies' letter, and the clerk to the missionary society's connexion with it. The influ ence of the clergy of all denominations over the female portion of society is immense ; reel it is of the utmost consequence that no perversion of that iefluence to im moral purposes should be allowed to creep in. And if colleagues are allowed to cast a veil over the lapses of offending brethren, for fear of bringing an evil report upon " the connexion," such abuses will inevitably creep in. The case of Messrs. Davies, Stacey, and others, re quires at least as searching an examination as the case of the Dauntless.—Daily News. THE FALL Or SEBASTOPOL. With the fall of Sebastopol the grasp of Russia on the Crimea will bo effectually loosened. There is no other fortress that can offer any resistance to the Allies. The strong defensible ground in the Crimea is of no great extent. And on an open field, which offers no advan tage to either party, what chance have the soldiers who could not maintain above three hours the strong position of the Alma when opposed to those who stormed and carried the hei;hts in that short time ? The question of the ultinie.te disposal of the Crimea may not be free from difficulties ; but one thing is ob vious, that it must be retained at present by the victors is a " material guarantee." We will not, therefore, believe that there can be any intention, after the com pletion of the siege of Sebastopol, to withdraw the Allied forces to winter elsewhere. Butter winter quarters than in the Crimea cannot be found within such a distance as will admit of the French and English troops being at bawl to resume hostilities io the e.trly spring, if it shall tte decided to suspend them dur:ttg the winter. With Ice attention to the sheltering of tile troops from ram and cold, and to forward regularly such necessary stores es can only be procured from home, the Crimea will be Conte' to affoi d much mere winter qnerters than the Bosilneue er Bulgaria. it is (during the winter and spring) more Le dthy than the latter, and provi ;ions con be ohtained in grelter abundance and at more reasonable rates than ie ei!ller. • And the continued presence of the Alliet tl , t. Cie:ties will be a ceeetant memento to the wavering or it iutie.al Governments of Central Europe of the iniel , t of France and England. lt is to be hoped that after the fall of Sebastopol the Allied Governments will adopt a more peremptory tone in their intercourse with the German sovereigns—large and swell. The pretexts of 'Austria for evading an im mediate and final breach with Ilassia ought no longer to be listened to ; its underhand manceuvres to check and paralyse the advance of the Turks into Bessarabia ought no longer to be tolerated. Sebastopol once fallen the French and English fleets will have it in their power to assist materially the operations of Omer Pacha in Bessarabia. They can blockade every town and har bour, every lay and creek, on the coast of the Black Sea between the mouths of the Danube and the Crimea. They can land troops at Saline.. or Akermann to take in flank or rear the Russian forces assailed in front by the Turks. In the course of a winter campaign the Russians may be driven out of Bessarabia and Kherson and compelled .to fall back and establish their outposts in the vicinity of Kiew. In the apprehensions enter- Wiled at Vienna of a march upon that capital by the Russian forces now mustering in Poland and the ad joining provinces we do not participate. Such a move ment, if successful, might postrone the fate now im pending over Russia, bunt a reverse, or even a mere failure, would accelerate it. A Bonaparte might plan and execute such an audacious movement, but it is be yond the commonplace conceptions and pigmy powers of any Russian leader that has y et a pp eared in the field. It is to be hoped, for the sake of Turkey, that its forces may soon take a more - active and prominent part in the war titan they have of late been doing. Since the advance of the Austrians into the Principalities, Omer Pacha, has been paralysed ; in the Crimea the Turkish contingent has been kept in the background ; and during the time occupied in changing commanders in the army of Asia nothing whatever has been done in that quarter. But a time has come when Omer Pacha may resume his advance with a fair prospect of being effectively supported by the Allies. The latest news from Batoum, too, are encouragieg. The lieutenant of the new Commander-in-Chief seetus to be taking judi cious measures for facilitating the operations of his chief when he shall arrive. It, is alleged that the dis position of the army of Asia made by its late oornmancler: in-chief was objectionable not so much on mere tactical or strategical grounds as because of his neglecting to pay he due attention to the requirements for provisioning troops. To this is now attributed in a gee the fatal insubordination and exce ss es even the g e irregular troops, and the difficulty !win new to be in progress dis tribution of the army ie underst ood evi _ s. regulars effectively into the field.
