POSTSCRIPT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

The Earl of MAI.MESBURY asked if it was true that
Lord Raglan had resigned the command of the
Crimean army.
Lord PANMURE made a similar statement to that
given in the Commons. Lord Raglan's complaint, he
said, was dysentery—he was better, and hoped very
shortly to resume his command.
Adjourned at half-past five.

HOUSE OF COMM ONS.—FRIDAY.
In reply to Sir J. WALSH, who had asked if the
statement in Count Buol's circular was true, which
asserted that the last proposals of the Austrian Go-
vernment for the settlement of the third point
had been submitted to our envoy and the
French ambassador, and that they had undertaken
to recommend them to their respective Governments,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had seen the circular
in the newspapers, and, as far as he was aware, their
statements were correct.

In reply to Lord William GRAHAM,
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Austrian Govern-
ment had allowed the reserve of their army to go
out on furlough, on the ground of health, and for the
same reason had changed some of their canton-
ments.
In reply to Lord Robert GROSVENOR,
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government had
received accounts of a temporary indisposition of
Lord Raglan, which rendered his withdrawal from
the command for a few days necessary, which, Sir G.
Brown being also ill, would be assumed for the time
by General Simpson. From the latest accounts, the
heal th of Lord Raglan had already improved.
(Loud cheers).
In reply to Mr. CAYLEY,
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the appointment of
the Governor-General of India rested with the di-
rectors of the Company, subject to the approval of
the Crown. The directors had now recommended
Lord Canning in place of Lord Dalhousie—in whose
appointment the Ministry fully concurred—who was
fully qualified to carry out the reform recommended

ki.

The Lord Lieutenant left Dublin on Monday to
visit the works at the military camp in preparation
on the Curragh of Kildare. His Excellency was ac-
companied by Lord Seaton, commander of the forces;
General Lord Gough, Major-General Cochrane, the
Earl of Meath, the Honourable Leopold Agar Ellis,
A.D.C., and several engineer and artillery officers.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Galway, the Right
Rev. L. O'Donnell, on Saturday last sat down to
breakfast in apparently sound good health. Suddenly
he was seized with illness, and within a very brief
time ceased to exist.
Sus JOHN POWER, the wealthy and popular Irish
distiller, died on Tuesday morning, at his residence
near Dublin, at an advanced age.
JOHN LAMB, the wolllnown agricultural corre-
spondent of the Northern Whig, in communicating
observations made in his spring tour, states that
about thirty-two years ago we had quite as late a
spring as the recent one, and that the harvest was one
of the most abundant he ever witnessed.

VISCOUNT CANNING iS appointed Governor-General
of India, in the room of the Earl of Dalhousie, who
will return to England before the end of the year.
Lord Canning WWI Under-Secretary for Foreign
Affairs from 1811 to 1846, and has been Postmaster-
General since the formation of the Aberdeen Minis-
try, in January, 1853.
London, England, 1855-06-30

THE DIAMELON.

After the capture of the Mainelon and Quarries on
the 7th inst. an armistice was agreed upon for the
purpose of burying the dead. This truce enabled
the British officers to range freely over the ground
which bad been so hotly contested. Among other
subjects of curiosity the just-taken Mamelon formed
one of the first, and the place is thus described by
an eyewitness on that occasion

THE PRESS.

At first all officers were admitted into the Mamelon
Redoubt, but long before the armistice had ceased our
allies found it necessary to check the number of visitors.
It was, indeed, a most remarkable work. The Russian
engineers had not followed any set rules, but adapted it to
the peculiar exigencies of its position. Every possible
contrivance had been laid hold of to protect the artillery-
men from the cross fire from the French and English
batteries. Traverses of immense thickness had been made
between every gun. There was a depth of four feet from
the level of the platforms to the ground within the work,
so that no one was exposed to fire through the embrasures
but the men actually working the gun. Near the muzzle
of each gun several coils of rope were wound round one
above the other, until a close dense ring of considerable
thickness was formed; this was deep enough to protect
the gunner from a rifle ball while pointing the gun, and
perhaps might be useful in deadening the concussion when
the gun was itself struck by a shell or other missile. In
rear of each gun, a passage being left to walk along, was
also a splinter-proof traverse, and along the opposite sides
of this passage—that is, in the sides of the earth on which
the platforms rested—were a series of cave-like holes, into
which two or three men could retreat. There was a
middle passage along the centre of the redoubt, between
the traverses placed in rear of the several embrasures.
On entering the work a stranger found himself in a sort of
maze ; there were little lanes and turnings in every. direc-
tion. A shell falling into any part of the work could
scarcely hurt more than the troops in the particular in-
closure into which it fell, and they, if there were time,
would have the opportunity of running behind a traverse,
or getting into some of the holes in the earth. A spacious
natural cave had been taken advantage of for the forma-
tion of the principal magazine ; the egpsnee to this
depository was by descent of a small flight of steps out-
side, and on the Malakoff aspect of the redoubt. A deep
ditch flanked the work on each side, except that in which
was the entrance, and this ditch, and the compartments of
the work between the traverses, were covered with the
bodies of those who had fallen in the contest for its
possession. Russians, Zouaves, Algerines, and French
soldiers of the line were all lying together. The traverses
and parapets were battered about in all directions, and
some of the guns had been overturned, and were half
buried in the displaced earth. It was a scene, indeed, of
ruin and devastation.

LOSSES ON THE 18Tn.

Despatches quoted in Parliament from Lord Rag-
lan have considerably relieved the apprehensions
that had been entertained respecting the losses sus-
tained by the British in the unsuccessful affair of the
18th inst. The total is stated at 1,295 of killed,
wounded, and missing. Of these 03 are officers and
1,202 non-commissioned officers and privates. Of
the latter, 144 were killed, and the remainder
wounded or missing. The names of the superior
officers who have fallen are as follow :

Major-Genersi Sir John Campbell ; Colonel Yea, 7th
Regiment; Lient.•Colonel Shadforth, 57th; tientenant
Meurant, 18th; Lieutenant Davies, 38th; Lieutenant

can tell whether there is to be an assault on
the town or a campaign in the interior, or a
combination of both these operations.
There are symptoms which worn us that
active movements cannot be further delayed,
if great results are to be accomplished. The
want of water is beginning to be painfully felt.
Cholera is extending through every part of the
encampment, fostered by the unwholesome-
ness of the ground and the crowding of the
troops. Are the allies ready to march? We
fear that our own regiments are not. It is
but a short time since we were assured that
only one-seventh part of the necessary means
of transport had been provided, and that the
great mass of our men were practically as Im-
moveable as the rocks on which they stood.
Ought this to he the case? Again, it is only
a few days since the leading journal published
a list of regiments of cavalry and infantry that
were under orders for immediate embarkation
for the seat of war. Why had they not been
sent before? On the eve of so desperate a
struggle, why have our own reinforcements
not yet come up ? We fear that it will be
found that, notwithstanding all their warn
ings, the measures of the Government will
be inadequate to the emergency which is be-
fore us.

was very fine, and thousands of persons collected to

SATURDAY,

The city of Paris is raising a loan of sixty millions
of francs, payable finally after a period of forty
years. The money is required for the purpose of
completing the extensive public works of Paris, and
which will render the city the most magnificent capi-
tal in Europe. The loan will be eagerly bought up.
AUSTRIA.
A ;ast sitting of the envoys of the five powers
remaining in Vienna was held in that capital, on
Monday last, when the Conferences were declared
formally closed. At that meeting, however, a new
Austrian proposition was made. Prince Gortschakoff
asked if he might send it to St. Petersburg, but the
French and English Ministers replied that they were
not authorised to agree to such a step.
The Austrian Government had previously published
a new circular, dated May 25, declaring that if their
last propositicns for the adjustment of peace were
rejected, the policy of Austria would thenceforth be
one of expectancy.

THE COAST LINE.

Is the session of 1853 a Committee of the
House of Commons had to decide between
two competing schemes for affording railway
accommodation to the extensive district of
which (speaking generally) the extreme points
are Dorchester, Salisbury, Bridgewater, and
Exeter, and which extends along some sixty
or seventy miles of the south coast. The
Committee decided in favour •f the scheme of
the South-Western Railway Company, and
against that of the Great Western, on the
specific pledge of the Chairman of the former,
authorised by a meeting of the shareholders,
to proceed at onoe with " the Devon and
Dorset Railway."

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

It is impossible to acknowledge the mites of letters we receive.
Their insertion is often deleted, owing to • press of matter,
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde-
pendent of the merits or the communication.
We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do
not avail ourselves.

Crininunicatione should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If long it increases the didioulty of
finding space for them.
Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the
name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica-
tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith.
Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by a
remittance or a reference for payment in town.

CHARTIST HISTORY.

A LITTLE WORK has just reached our hands,
written apparently by a person well versed in
the particulars of Chartist history, which sug

In no other country, and at no other period,
could we find a " movement " which concen-
trated so much honest enthusiasm under
leaders so unworthy, and which displayed, in
spite of diversity of objects and absurdity
of counsels, so much uncompromising deter-
mination. That its coming existence should
not have been foreseen by men who asssumed
to call themselves statesmen is at least re-
markable. Those who roused the passions of
the masses to favour their own party purposes,

CIRCASSIA.

Important intelligence has been received from
Circassia. At a military council, held at Batoum on
the 2nd inst., the Turkish commander•in-chief pro-
posed certain measures, which were unanimously
accepted. It appears that the army of Batoum is to
march along the coast of Circassia, and, after laying
siege to Soujak Kale, to advance against Anapa, and
from thence cross over to the Crimea. The head-
quarters of the army, consequently, had shifted to
Sohumkale, where all the Abaza chiefs between Sotcha
and Tchurookson had already arrived. The moun-
taineers pledge themselves to furnish a force of
40,000 men, to be actively employed when the army
takes the field.

RUSSIA.

The Abeille of St. Petersburg gives the following
version of the language lately used by the Czar at
Cronstadt, and which was at first considered peaceful.
The words now attributed to his Majesty appear, on
the contrary, rather indicative of war :
On the 9th the town of Cronstadt was honoured by a
visit of the Emperor. The inhabitants presented their
sovereign, according to ancient custom, with bread and
salt. His Majesty received his subjects with kindness,
and concluded his reply to them with the following words
—" Pray to God for the repose of the soul of the late Em-
peror Nicholas I. He loved you, and so will I. Pray to
God. We will not allow Cronstadt to fall into the power
of the enemy. With the will of God peace will return, and
then your commerce will again improve." After the de-
parture of our beloved monarch, we felt that our hearts
were full of faith in Providence, of devotedness to the Czar,
and of love for our country. Each of us now repeats the
words of one of our celebrated Russian heroes—" We will
not allow our country to be humiliated ; we will leave our
bones here for our Czar and our hearths."

Advices from St. Petersburg state that General
Rudiger had given positive orders that no merchant
vessel should put to sea from any of the Russian
ports in the Baltic.
The Austrian official journal affirms that Odessa is
so strongly fortified as to bid defiance to any attack
from the sea, while General Liiders guards the land
by 56,000 men. This statement is most probably
only the result of the promptings of the Russian
Government.

There is now a telegraphic communication between
Sebastopol and Odessa. It is, however, not an elec-
tric telegraph, but a semaphore.

AUSTRALIA.

The Indian Queen has arrived with dates from
Melbourne to the 13th and Hobart Town to the 17th
of March.

An open-air meeting was held at Melbourne on
the 12th of March, for the purpose of considering
the extraordinary conduct of Government in post-
poning the trials of the Ballarat rioters. Resolutions
condemnatory of the course pursued by Government
were passed, and a subscription entered into for the
defence of the remaining prisoners.
Another large nugget of gold, weighing 481b5., had
been taken from a hole at Ballarat.
The harvest in Van Diemen's Land had been com-
pleted and got in with little difficulty. For labour
the wages generally paid had been 12s. per acre and
rations.

THE LORD PRIMATE BERESFORD has convoked the
prelates of Ireland to meet in Dublin, on the 29th
inst., to consider the question of the Church Disci.
pline Bill, about to be submitted to Parliament.
THE RIGHT HON. JOHN WILSON FITZPATRICK has
been appointed LordlLieutenant and Castes Rota-

late Lord De Vesci. Mr. Fitzpatrick is an old and
stedfast supporter of the Whig party.
THE INHABITANTS OF CORK are much enraged at a
communication lately received from the Admiralty,
in reply to their request that a portion of the Baltic
fleet might be allowed to winter at Cove. Sir Charles
Wood replied to the Mayor as follows
Admiralty, Nov. 10.
Sir,—l have received your letter of the 14th inst., and
you must see, upon reflection, that the stations of her
Majesty's ships must be determined by the demands of the
service, and that it would not be consistent with my duty
to give any assurance that vessels would be stationed at
any port merely on the request of the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood.-1 am, sir, your obedient servant,
The Mayor of Cork. CHARLES W 001).
This brief reply appears to have created an extra-
ordinary amount of indignation :
With a sense of shame (writes the local papers) at the
degrades! position of our country, and the supeltaiit pos-
ture which our highest and best citizens are compelled to
assume in all communications with the English Govern-
men), we direct attention to the curt, almost insol-nt,
letter of Sir Charles Wood in answer to the memorial
respecting the wintering of the Baltic fleet in Cork
harbour

THE ALLEGED CASE OF BIBT.E•BUBNING in the
Roman Catholic chapel at Kingstown has excited so
much indignation among the Protestant community
that the Attorney-General for Ireland has directed
the immediate prosecution of all parties who there is
ground for supposing took part in the disgraceful
outrage.

WAR CALCULATIONS.

nit leading journal of Thursday last contains
in article based on a letter froin its Vienna
boiiespondent, professing to dissipate what
the irriter calls our " absurd delusions con-
" cerning the numerical strength of the
" Russian armies." His assertions are founded
on strict arithmetical calculation, by which
he endeavours to prove that if " we press on the
" war for a year or two" the soldiers of
Russia will be utterly exterminated. We
arc quite willing to accept his proposition
that war is a matter of calculation, and that
we are right to count the cost on both sides.
This is perhaps the safest way of looking at
the question. Let us discard all moral consi-
derations, and view the issue as one of arith-
metic, to be decided by figures. Agreed as to
the principle from which we start, let us see
to whiat results fair reasoning will lead us.

The population of the Russian empire may
be taken in round numbers at 60,000,000 of
Souls. This number is below the aggregate
given by the best•informed staticians, but it is
uffic icntly near for the purpose of our argu

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
SIR COLIN CAMPBELL reappeared at the United
Service Club on Saturday, and was warmly welcomed
by many of his old companions in arms in the renin•
sular and Indian campaigns. A late camp anecdote
is going about that the gallant general, a short time
since, was offered the command at Malta, which he
declined in the following words, "If I am in the
way, say so, and I'll go at once ; but if you ask me
whether I choose to give up the command of my divi-
sion while it remains in front of the enemy, I answer,
No."
COLONEL CAMERON, C. 8., has succeeded to the
command of the Highland Division in the Crimea.
THE MARTELL° TOWER, off the Spit Isle of Grain,
Sheerness, is completed, and has been officially given
up to the Ordnance authorities. The construction of
this tower gives it the facility of firing the guns (which
are to be of the largest calibre) on traversing centre
pivots, so as to do execution in the fair-way of the rivers
Thames and Medway. The estimated cost is about
14,0001., exculsive of its foundation of piles, which
support solid balks of timber, with York landings,
being filled in to a depth of six feet with cement.
The extreme height of the tower is forty-one feet six
inches. From the exposed situation of the tower,
which is subject to the sea and weather, great difficul-
ties were experienced during the winter months in
proceeding with tha work.
SIR W. CODRINGTON, K.C.8., as Commander-in-
Chief of the Army in the East, forwarded his first
despatches to the Government this week.
MAJOR-GENERAL COLLINGWOOD DICKSON, R.A., who
behaved so gallantly at Alma and Inkermann, accom-
panied by his aide• decamp, Captain Lyons, R.A., and
other officers of his suite, left town at the close of
last week en route for Kertch, to take command of
the artillery of the Anglo-Turkish Contingent.
LIEUT.-COLONEL GoonwiN's name was accidentally
omitted in the official despatches relative to the
assault of the Bth September. One of the last acts
of Sir James Simpson was to call the attention of
the War-office to the omission in the following
words :—" Lieutenant - Colonel Goodwin is a most
deserving officer, and I should be glad that his name
were remembered with others mentioned." Lieut.-
Colonel Goodwin commanded the 41st Regiment, in
the 2nd division under General Markham.
MAJOR-GENERAL THE HON. G. ANSON, now serving
st Bombay with the local rank of 1 ieutenant-general,
has been promoted to the local rank of general in
the East Indies, a preliminary step to his appoint-
ment as commander-in-chief, vice Sir William Gomm.
SIR PERCY NUGENT, BART., the oldest commissioned
officer of the Westmeath Rifles, resigned his company,
it is rumoured, in consequence of the Earl of Gra-
nard, a captainmany years his junior, being appointed
t ) the majority ; other officers have followed Sir
Percy's example.
A DEPOT, 800 strong, of the Royal Sappers and
Miners, is to be formed at Chatham.

Their animation, their variety, their rare and curious details, re-
commend them to the reader. As contributions to the history of

wheat during the present week have been very moderate, we
have had a dull sale for all kinds, and in some instances prices
have had a downward tendency, say. from is to 2s per quarter.
in foreign wheat so little business has been doing that the
quotations have ruled nominal. Floating cargoes, however,
have produced rather more money. The barley trade has ruled
brisk, at au improvement In value of from le to 9s per quarter;
whilst malt has met a firm demand, at very full currencies.
