MORE NAVVIES FOR BALABLAVA.

Yaterday the Prince of Wales steamer took on
boardthe remainder of the navvies who are about to make
the now road from Balaklava to the English camp before
SebuopoL

Anon these men, the number of whom amounts altoge-
ther t dire hundred, are included besides common navvies,
litters, riveten, carpenter*, plate layers, and magi-
seen ; end as each of them is provided with every
requisite of his calling unwary to the speedy fol.
lowing up of the work about to be commenced,
there can be little or no delay when the men ar-
rive at their destination. According to the arrangements
of Yens. Peto, Steamy, end Betts stay men was required
to be m a gonad end healthy condition, not only in appear.
um bat to be proved so by the thorough 'Lamination of a
'lndianian, in addition to which the candidate was to be
of goof character and tried steadiness.
Barter such circumstances, and with the further provi-
sions already made for their comfort, It cannot be doubted
that this corps will stud lass chance of being "knocked
up" sad becoming comparatively useless by exposers to the
wombs. and the difficulties of ensuring labour than oar
owe soldiers, who, unfortunately for themselves, have been
the mews of teaching us a few useful looms in the art of
campaigning.
A Baer body of working men than were aseetabled yes.
tetchy on the Brunswick-pier, Blackwell, could not be pro.
darted by any other nation in the world ; and, from the
uabounded enthusiasts displayed by them on their depar-
ture, it Is evident that these " miserable islanders" intend
to show his Majesty the Emperor of Russia what can,
aad, we frost, shall be done, in a period of time so incre-
dibly short as that in which it is proposed to construct the
works to the camp.

A staff of surgeons and nurses, seder the superinten-
dence of Mr. Howse, surgeon to the New Victoria Docks,
ha proceeded to the hospital ship at Balaicise', and no
mutt of medical comforts is at all likely to be felt by our
have fellows, without whom assistance, as Captain An-
thems has said, Sebastopol eannot be taken.
How far the heavy duties new necessarily imposed upon
our troops will be lightened by the aid of this efficient body
ofaten remains to be seen, bat there %every reason to believe
that, through such well-considered arrangements as have
boa made, and under each management as that of Keens.
Pets, Homey, and Betts, Captain Andrews, and the other
gentlemen concerned in this undertaking, it will prove sew
cemfal.
