FAVOURABLE NEWS FROM THE CRIMEA.

Ws have net attempted to extenuate the sufferings
and lame of eurnenty la the Crimea. Justice to our
brave soldiers demanded that publicity should be
given to all that incapacity and neglect in high
quarters ham subjected them to. At the same time
ms have thmegbout maintained that there was no
alossihr impsedency. Had we done otherwise, we
should, like the Peelites, and Messrs. Bazaar and
STITROR, and the Times, and Mr. CORNWALL
Livris, have been playing the gams of the Cuts.
The tone sod tow of the brief letter (el the 29th
ult.) finnan special Crimean correspondent, which
'we pia\ today, justifies our persisiamos in
obeying against hope." At the end of last
month the severity of the weather had inter-
mitted, the warm clothing was being distributed
amongst the soldiers, buts were being rapidly
erected. The remnant of the army was being placed
in a condition that would soon restore many inmates
of the hospital tents to the ranks. Of still more con-
sequence is the fact noticed by ear correspondent
that the casualties of war are rapidly bringing
young and vigorous men into command. "A year or
AMe elective warfare will give us colonels of five-
"and-terenty and generals of thirty at the head of
isghants and brigades." The junction of troops
from India will bring a reinforcement of officers
aseasteared to the movement of large bodies
of men in the field. When the campaign
reopens some six weeks hence the Eng-
lish army in the Crimea will be in every
respect materially improved, if due diligence
is exercised by the new Pima= and his new
War Minister. The temper of our soldiers is excel-
lent. "The old hands," writes oar correspondent,
" have, as it were, a stake in the war: they have
now for eleven months given it their time, attention,
and best energies; they have foe it exposed their
health and lives; and they mast eatarsily wish to
use some more substantial results than a pesos on the
basis: of the four points, the exact tenor and bearing
of which 'ode may at one time have known, bat
have long sines forgotten."
There is another circumstance that leads us to
augur favourably of the prospect of the new cam-
paigit. When war was first declared, the Anglo.
French army was sent to meet the Russians in the
Danubian Principalities, and to moist the Turks in
driving them out of these provinces. Thin was giving
the Rossi's; the chaise of their own battle-field.
Austria was still undecided, sad appeared to lean, if it
could be said to lean any way, to Russia. The Masco-
' vita could therefore master in Moldavia and Walla-
cilia without feud being taken in their flank or rear.
They could easily concentrate their troops in Mol-
davia at no great distance from their supplies.
They were, in a manner, " cock' fighting
on their own dunghill." But their evacua-
tion of the Principalities and the invasion of
the Crimea have totally changed their position. The
supplies and reinfirecementa for their armies meet

now be conveyed ovtdand-♦eras wide and barren
steppes —by an •pensive land carriage. The
Ankle have kept—end are likely to retain—two
strong points in the Crimea (the peninsula of the
Chersoneens and Enpatoria), where troops and stores

can be landed to any amount. The Allies, mereirort,
being andiepnted tauten at sea, an at any moment
make dements spot any other part of the Crimea
they please. The Russians as only bring up stores
and men to the Crimea with expense and fatigue
the Allies can bring op their men es they are
wanted, without Wive; and, with Improved Com-
missariat arrangements on the part of the English,
their supplies of wares may be ample and saints:-
rattling.

The oaropaign of 1853 will open with nook

greater sdvintiges on our part than the campaign of
1854. Add to this, that unless our rulers belong to
the dem which the proverb declares experience
cannot teach, we open the campaign of 1855 with an
experimental knowledge of our own deficiencies, and
after having been (rather rudely) taught not to
undervalue our enemy.—Daily
