THE WAR.

THE winter appears to have all but completely stopped the
progress of hostilities in the Crimea, and the correspondents
of the London journals now find occupation in chronicling
the amusements by which the troops seek to beguile the

tedium of comparative inactivity and idleness, varied occa-
sionally with details of winter storms and boisterous weather.

The special correspondent of the Times, writing from the
camp before Sebastopol, on the 30th of November, makes the
following remarks on
THE MUD OF THE CRIMEA.

We are all ancle-deep in mud. No, that would be nothing.
It would be no great matter of complaint or grievance if we
had to deal with the ordinary material, so familiar to all
Londoners after a few wet days, before the scavengers remove
the formidable soft parapets which line the kerbstones. That
can be scraped off, cleaned, rubbed away, or washed out.
This nothing but long and persevering efforts, continually
renewed, and combining all the former operations, can remove.
It sticks in pasty clods to the shoes, and will insist on being
brought into clean huts and tents to visit your friends. It
has a great affection for straws, with which it succeeds in
working itself up into a kind of gigantic brick, somewhat
underdone, in which condition it threatens to build your
legs into the ground if you stand long enough in
one place to give it a chance ; and it mightily affects
horseshoes also, and sucks them off with a loud
smaek of relish in those little ravines between rocky
hill sides, in which it exercise the greatest influence.
Literally and truly it is like glue half boiled and spread over
the. faee of the earth for the depth of several feet. It is no
ioke for a soldier to see his sleeping place, in hut or tent,
covered with this nasty slime ; but they cannot be kept clean.
One step outside, and you are done for. The mud is lying in
wait for you, and you just carry as much back on your feet
as if you walked a mile. Carts stick immoveably in the
ground, or the wheels and axles fly into pieces from the strain
of the horses and mules, which have led a wretched existence,
indeed, ever since this weather began. As I write, the air re-
sounds with the noise of the blows inflicted on the heads, sides,
and legs of the miserable quadrupeds drawing fuel and stores
from the commissariat depot of the division.

thus speaks of the

AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, the celebrated French
company of Equestrians, under the management of Messrs.
Rimbert and Lambert, commenced their course of perform-
ances last night, in presence of a crowded house. The various
feats of equestrianism, and the admirable specimens of equine
training exhibited, elicited the warmest applause. The whole
was distinguished by good taste and ability. The tight-rope
exercises by Madlle. Clara Aussuda were marked by dexterity
and grace, as was also the equestrianism of the other ladies of
the troupe. These performances are attractive, and promise
to be popular.
POCKET-PICKING IX d SHOP IN CHURCH-STRE&T.—Yes•
terday, two young women, named Jane Harper and Emma
Thompson, were brought before the Police-court, charged
with picking the pocket of Mrs. Hannah Alker, 29, Basnett-

at some goods, contrived to get alongside of Mrs. Alker, from
whose pocket they cleverly abstracted the purse and its' con-
tents and left the shop. Shortly after, the purse and money
were missed, and the prisoners pursued and apprehended.
None of the money was found. Both the prisoners were sen-
tenced to be imprisoned for three months.

THE TREATY WITH SWEDEN.

Wes speculation has been going on with reference
to the real object of the recent mission of General
CANBOBERT to the court of Sweden, it having been
generally thought that the main design was to induce
the Scandinavian Powers of Sweden and Denmark to
join the Western Alliance in active hostility to Russia.
It now appears from the official publication in the
Ilioniteur, that a treaty has been concluded, though
somewhat modified in its conditions to what was at
one time hoped for, yet still in a degree favourable
to the Allies. It could hardly be ,expected that
Sweden would, unless under the pressare of necessity,
embroil herself with a powerful neighbour in such
dangerous proximity to her shores by any active
measures of hostility except such AS would be justified
by defence. She has, however, consented to hold her
own ports and naval resources Against auy attempts a
Russia to avail herself of them, in return for which
France and England agree to afford her assistance in
the event of her being assailed by Russia. The effect
of this arrangement will be that the Northern 'despot
will not be pennitted 'to (compensate for his naval de-
ficiencies by taking advantage of the resoutoes of
Sweden, which •in the event of a further ,comp cation
of the state of affairs may be induced to lend more
efficient aid. It be necessary, however, that our
own Baltic 'fleet Should prove of more ,adave service
than it has done during the last two•'seasons. We
want an AdMitat who shall have better,ilsims to credit
than bringing lome his ships in •safety, leaving the
Russian ,fleetlin the same happy state. The next year
mast be commenced under far different auspices, with
no grounds for complaint that the rrequisite supplies
were waiting to complete the de ruction began at
,Sweaborg„ and should Russia nOtvanticipate defeat Iv
'timely-concessions, we shall exptret a better account
the Iltassian fleet sheltered ,at Cronstadt.

The correspondent of the Morning Herald, writing on the
Ist of December, says, in respect to the
RUSSIAN FIRE FROM THE NORTH SIDE :
Although the desultory firing against the town of Sebas-
topol scarcely requires notice, that against the Malakoff is a
novelty that must not remain unrecorded. During the whole
period since their retreat from the southern shore of the har-
bour, the Russians have daily thrown shot and shell from the
north side upon the points occupied by the allies, yet in so
useless a manlier, and at such long intervals, that the damage
done proved unimportant. But since I last wrote you, and in
order, perhaps, to wind up November with some éclat, the
enemy, especially on Thursday—the anniversary of the Polish
revolution, 1830 —maintained so unexpected and so very heavy
afire upon the Malakoff, that the French were almost tempted
to return it. But they did not. Their officers ordered them
to keep under shelter in the very " bomb-proofs" into which
the fire of the allies had so often driven the Russians, prior to
the capture of that work on Saturday, the Bth of September.
To this fire on the Malakoff the French disdained to return a
single shot. The allies have not fired for weeks. " Wait a
wee," as the Scotch proverb has it, and Prince Gortschakoff
will find a few new batteries open upon him, which will more
than compensate for our present non-acknowledgment of his
favours. ;Yesterday, St. Andrew's-day, broke with so fine a
frost'and clear a sky, that a renewed cannonade was expected,
but this did not occur, and, soon after noon, heavy rain, which
still continues, again set in, and "not a gun was heard," nor
was there " a funeral note." The Russians seldom hit us, and
therefore waste their ammunition most ridiculously. Some
people imagine all this present fierceness on their part but pre-
cedes a pre-arranged retreat. I cannot myself think so ; and
I imagine they are preparing for some mysterious "dash" in
or near the harbour of Sebastopol, for we can perceive a good
many boats and rafts under the north shore. N' imports, all
Is ready for their reception, and perhaps the boats may be
collected merely to be burnt some day, or, as the fleet was,
but to be sunk.

Enough, however, of the splenetic and gall-discoloured pic-
tures—of the " laboured antitheses and simulated fervour" of
liticauLAr. Such a writer lacks the first elements of a
historian—sound judgment and calm wisdom are not ingre-
dients of his mental nature. The vindictive political partizan—
the, unscrupulous declaimer—and the man to whom plausibly
propounded theories are more valuable than well-accredited
facts may hail him as a brother and a friend. To the lover of
truth and the admirer of simplicity and earnestness, the elabo-
rated distortions of MACAULA.Y must ever be objects of aver-
sion and dislike.

From the success of a living "liberal author" to the death
of another is no very violent transition ; on Tuesday morning,
at an early hour, SAMUEL ROGERS, the poet of " Memory"
and the versifler of " Italy," closed his earthly pilgrimage at
the advanced age of ninety-three. Born in affluence and
naturally possessed of a good taste which he sedulously culti-
vated, Mr. ROGERS was the intimate friend of the most cele-
brated men of the present and a large portion of the last
century. He was an eminent artistic connoisseur—an unos-
tentatious patron of genius—and a much esteemed companion.
His easy fortune enabled him to indulge in literary expendi-
ture such as few worshippers of the Muses can enjoy, and he
freely expended on the publication of his poetry sums which to
ordinary ears must appear fabulous. As an illustration of this,
it may not be uninteresting to state that on the poem of
"Italy" which he had published in a style of unique beauty
and rare elegance, he exhausted his large stores of artistic
decoration. It was printed with the greatest care, and
profusely embellished by engravings from designs by Mann;
and STOTHA.RD, the cost of the edition being not less than
£lO,OOO. The work has now become scarce, and in all proba-
bility will soon form an object of keen attraction to the col-
lector of elegant books. He was eccentrically liberal in the
display of his patronage, and many a son of genius was in-
debted to him for a large share of unostentatiously conferred
bounty ; notwithstanding which, he was occasionally whimsi-
cally uncourteous, and pettishly resentful of any proffered aid
in personal difficulty.

HORTICULTURE.

Faurr.---Fruit trees have already made as much
younc, wood as there is much chance of getting ma-
tured. Where this is the case, go over the trees at
once and stop a portion of the shoots, beginning of
course with the strongest. This, as was stated last
week, will be found to serve the end in view much
more effectually than a general stopping at this season,
which would probably be of no farther service than
inducing the production of a mass of laterals, and do
more harm than good ; whereas, stopping the stronger
shoots will only throw the sap into the weaker ones,
and if we should be favoured with a fine autumn the
buds and the shoots stopped will become plump with-
out startinc, into growth, and in any case there will be
fewer laterals produced by stopping only a portion of
the shoots than there would be if the shoots were
stopped generally.
KITCHEN GARDEN.---Winter onions should be
sown at once, also cauliflowers for the early crop next
season, a small bed of pickling cabbage, brown cos,
and some hardier sorts of lettuce to stand the winter.

of Somerset. The outlines of several of the cabins
were perfect, and some of the inhabitants in the
neigbourhood had used a great quantity of the stones
to drain the adjoining fields. In another paper the
author gave a description of the discovery of the cal-
careous skeletons of corals of the Devonial series, met
with in the Quantock-hills. These were supposed to
be the remains of coral reefs, akin to those which are
found in the present day.
THE " SECRET " OF TAMING BIRDS.—We have no
direct means of divining the " why and because " of
certain predilections and prejudices observable in
birds and other animals. We daily see actions among
them for which we cannot in any way account. Thus,
for instance, if a dog enter a room full of company,
you will presently observe him make a careful tour of
the apartment, sniffing first at one and then at another
of the assembled guests. Towards some his tail will
be seen to wag with every symptom of kindliness and
good-will: whilst towards others, he will, with tail
deflected, show unmistakeable signs of suspicion,
perhaps of disgust. Depend upon it the animal's
discernment is rarely at fault. I would willingly be
guided by such a Mentor. Just so is it with the
feathered race. Some masters and mistresses can
never tame their birds; never get them to be on terms
of intimacy. The cause is evident. There are no
feelings of affection in common between them. They
do not love their birds. The latter know as much ;
and are assuredly aware that they are kept simply for
the sake of furnishing amusement. I have noted the
same unerring sagacity with all my squirrels. They
would instantly detect any person who might he pre-
paring, or wishing to play them off some practical
joke, and would, to my great delight, fasten on them
at once—paying handsomely and in filll for all favours
" about to be " received. It was, however, impossible
for me to anger them. They too well knew the
friendliness of my disposition—seeing what merry
romps and gambols we had together, both by day
and night ; up stairs, down stairs, and in the garden.
No doubt it was a wise provision of Nature thus
to endow our little friends with instinctive powers
of perception. The face is the index of the mind.
They read our character when they catch our eye.—
William Kidd.
