A RUSSIAN LETTER FRO A SEBASTOPOL.

The following letter from Sebastopol appears in
the Gazette Mtlitaire :

We (Russians) have evi dearly passed to the c.ffensive.
The Russian army is perfectly instructed by the Tatars of
all the movements, plans, and positions of the Allies, while
they, on their side, cannot even approximate to a know-
ledge of our position. The iris tress present a spectacle of
the greatest misery. Most of them base limbs frozen, par-
ticularly the hands and feet; these are sent immediately to
the hospitals for treatment.
Sebastopol can justly be called the city of amusements.
Salle, concerts, dhc., follow one another without interrup-
tion, end is the nights when the moon is bright, we take
promenades in gondolas by the Pont Basin with tembeaus
and music ;—to such en extent has the conviction of the
impregnability of our fortress taken root in the minds of
every &Mita. Whet we say of Sebastopol applies equally
to all the other cities of the Tanrique Peninsula in the
pewee of the Russians, with the single exception, perhaps,
of Batchi-Serai, which has been turned into an immense
hospital, where thousands of wounded soldiers, Russian and
of the enemy, await the end of their sufferings, The mag-
nificent apartments of the Khans of the Crimea have been
converted into chambers for the sick, end the adjoining
gardens serve as a promenade for the oonfaisecent. Upon
the heights which command the city, the Russian camp
stretches onto the valley of the Tchernaya to the north of
Sebastopol. The road from Perekop to Bstchi-Serei is no-
vend with an intoment Sle of tarts, carrying the nsateriel
et war to the may."

On Thursday, at dinner-time, they first received the

them to go beck to their homes; that evening I marched
the regiment to drill in the Repository; on Friday they
were employed cleaning up their barracks, end other work

nine o'clock for general monthly master, after which they
oar/anted all the guards in the Royal Arsenal, giving above

COMBATANTS IN AND AFTER A BATTLE.

" Bo Ben wants to know more of the way we actually
fight. I suppose he has half a wish to experience it, if not
too dangerous. Well, this for him. Our first experience
of the enemy was anything but pleasant, being round shot
and shell, which quickly took the life of many a brave fel
low, end consequently heated the blood of the living, who,
after amities permission, Ming away their great costs, and
rushed en to the fight, ours being the only regiment that
day OM 'height with the red coat fully exposed to view—
an advantage, I think, for our grey great coats
are too much like the Russians to be easily detected
from them in foggy morolar. Now, Ben, came
the work. When the bill up which we ascended was
surmounted, a long Hoe of skirmishers (Itseeisas)
were sass. One volley and cheer, and then the
bayonet, which, for Ben's information, the Rustiest sel-
dom waits for ; if he doer, our firelock is brought to
that position most ready for use, called the "charge,' and
fint parrying, if required, our enemy 's thew% is driven to
the socket through any pert of the body we can
,reash
the upper part the better. Does not that seem &email.
to you at home, and no doubt to it is, sad mused be he
that causes it. Bet in battle our feelings are different.
The passion to kill and &any is raised within us ; our
bleed bells for renege for the comrade that a minute
beige yea have seen ripped open by a shell, or perchance
whose Wane are bespattered on your person. It is then
theism.. of war is within you, and the work of death is
but es sport ; for fear goes. from you, and but i.e idea
Axes itself in your brain, and that if, there are enemies in
front and your mission is to destroy ; and how the British
" missionaries" (no sneer inteodcd) did their work at
lekennans, tell me not I boast if I confide it to history
to tell. On returning to camp you first asked yourself
" Am I safe ?" and then.you wondered how you escaped.
Ton next look round your tent, and, as was the ease in
mine, saw three poor fellows with bandages on different
parts of their persons, with merely, " I see, Jack, you are
winged,' or "Tom, the Russ has spoiled your countenance
to-day," and " How did it happen ?" and no MOTS is thought
of the matter. Another glance round shows that our num•
her was deficient of two. A little inquiry determines their
fate. One was ripped open by a shell, and the other was
stretched at full length, and with the exclamation, "Poor
fellows I they were good soldiers," the matter is dropped.
Everyone sets to work to boil a cup of coffee, &take, rolls
his blanket round his head, and ekes without dreaming
that bat a mile or so from him lay tea theasead Wags that
he has sedated in destroy's'. lisoh is all a soldier thinks of

WHAT ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS DISMISSED

FUR?

Sir Charles Napier, on his return from the Baltic,
was ordered to strike his flag and come ashore with
less of 000rtesy than a real gentleman would have
expended on the dismissal of a cabman. Yet at the
Seamen's Hospital dinner Lord Palmerston and Ari-
al, al Berkeley could scarcely find words strong
enough to express their admiration of Sir Charles,
and their approbation of his conduct in the Baltic.
Lord Lucan was recalled from the Crimea; bat
the posse eotnitattes of Ministers in in a
chorus of eulogiums on Lord Lucan—he
is faultless in their eyes. Mr. Kennedy was
dismissed from the Woods and Forests; but a minute
is entered on the records of the Treasury praising
Mr. Kennedy to the skies. The only inference one
can draw from these, and many similar instances, is,
that under our matchless constitution men are turned
out of their offices because they have deserved well
of their country. It would seem to follow, that foe •
man to be lett in office is tantamount to a declara-
tion that he is incapable or untrustworthy. If this
be the case, no one can doubt the validity of the
titles by which a majority of our existing officials
hold their appointments.—Daily News.

Oa the 19th September, at 8 o'clock a.m., firing
commenced on the town from the batteries' of the
fort. A steady fire was big up and retareed un-
ffinchingly by the enemy. During the day Captain
Bird (who was ever pressat directing the men) re-
oeived a slight wound from a ball in the um, but
happily without any bad moss. One corporal
sad three privates were shot ead, and twentrfour
Privates dangerously wounded. The firing was kept
up for several days at intervals; finally, the rebels
completely vacated the town, which le now a perfect
ruin, every house having been destroyed by fire.
The rebels, about three thousand, are at present
encamped in the neighbourhood of Christiansborg.
The town of Toggle, situate about five miles from
Christiansborg, has been levelled by her Majesty's
ship Scourge.

Cape Coast Castle with a reinforcement, and is at

THE BALTIC FLEET.

The undermentioned vessels were at Nargen on the
31st alt., expecting orders to attack an important
Russian position :
fingliab.—The Duke of Wellington, 131; Fa-
mouth, 91 ; Russell, 60; Cornwallis, 60; Hawk, 60;
Ham ire, 60; Edinburgh, 58; Arrogant, 46 ; Eurya-
Ins, 51; Amphion, 34; Corsa, 20; Tartar, 20;
Vulture, 6; Geyser, 6; Lightning, 3; Merlin, 4;
Calcutta and Lolus, magazine store-ships; Bellisle,
hospital ship; Volcano, blacksmiths' shop and en-
gineers' factory ; 15 gun-boats, and 16 mortar meals.
French.—The Tourville, Austerlitz, Isis, Ales,
Pelican, 1 gun-boat, and 5 mortar vessels.
The following is the letter of our correspondent :
NARGEN, Jutr 21 To 30.
Shortly after the mail had arrived the Vulture was
ordered to prepare for see, and at 4.30 p.m. left the
fleet in search of the Calcutta, having shell and am-
munition on board. She returned to Nargen with
the Calcutta at 5 p.m. on the 25th.
July 26.—The Vulture leaves this evening for
Faro Sound, to bring up the Bellisle hospital ship,
which looks as if something is about to take place.
July 30.—The Vulture ham arrived with the Bell-
isle. She left on the 29th, and brings news of the
Brllisle's launch having captured several small ves-
sels laden with salt on the north side of Gothland.
July 30, 9.30 p.m.—The Vulture arrived at Nar-
gen with the Bellisle is tow, having left Faro on
Sunday at noon. The weather in the Gulf was very
floe, but foggy, consequently she did not fall in with
any of the cruiser*. The Magicienne arrived at
Nargen with the Arrogant from Fredericksham.
They destroyed several buildings, and have taken a
quantity of arms. The Magicienne had three men
wounded—one, a deserter, shot through both legs.
Great preparations are now being made for attacking
Sweaborg. Since the Calcutta and &oleo have
arrived all the mortar vessels have completed with
powder and shell; also every vessel in the fleet. The
Primes Alice leaves with the mail, and I trust next
week to have some good news.

A RAILWAY FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND.

M. Fart,, a French engineer, has just published
some observations relative to the possibility of snaking a
railway under the Channel from F to England. The
length of the work, he says, wosld be 30 kilometres (181
English miles), and pierced at each • depth as to always
leave 26 metres at least between the arab and the bottom of
the ilea. Tee tunnel, he proposes, to have lined with •
' double archway, ose of bricks sod the other of iron, this
latter, pierced with nano+ comings, to at once allow the
Islightsat infiltration to be perceived. Referring to the re
prated in-breaks of water in making the tunnel under the
IThames, M. Fevre states that 'lathing of the kind can be
apprehended in attempting a tunnel under the channel,
as for the greater part of the distance the ground
consists of hard roe*, whereas the soil under the
Thames wee • blue clay of no consistence On the (-oast of
Cornwall, he observes, a great number of mines extend
I several kilometre vadat the sea, and 3 et no accident sews
from an irruption of the sea, although the distance between
the water and the workmen is so slight, that the noire of the
loose stones moved about by the waves can be diatinetly
heard. A. to the possibility of piercing • tunnel of such
length without issues from above to admit air, M. Farr. de-
clare the practicability of such a step to have been demon-
rested by M. Manes, en engineer in the service of the Sardi-
nian government, who has offered to undertake the piercing
of a t I through the Alps of a length of 13 kilometres (81
English miles) without say opening from above. Many
able engineers, 11 Fevre declares, have shown the possibility
of establishing • series of railways under Paris, 01 28 kilo-
metres (171 Eagli,h miles) is length. As to the expense of
tunnelling, M. Fevre admits that it is sot very easy to esti•
mate the sat with accuracy, so much depending in such
caws on the nature of the grained to be eat through. the
tunnel of the Credo, of 4 kilometres (24 English miles), on
the Lyons and 0 line, has been adindietted to a
erspeny, for 7,252,000 fir. ; add test of St. Irent, of some-
what more than 2,100 metres, on the Marseilles line,
foe 4,426,800 fr., which is, he says, about 2 millions
per ktlom. The ;steel of 28 kilos. under Paris is esti-
mated, he remarks, at 61 millions. Registers are at pre-
sent, M. Fevre states, in 'machinist, engaged is estimating
as aceerately as sass well be done, the utmost west of the entr-
eaties of a tassel ander the Channel between England and
Frames, and it order to avoid all disappointsest to the
shareholders who sight think fit to take part in the enter-
prise, the works would be d at • Axed pries. by eon-
tractors offering every guarantee of responsibility. Such is
M. Favre's plan, which, whatever may be thought of its
feasibility, certainly is not wanting in boldness.

striction imposed upon business arises from the indis-
