OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

(!EOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) .
I CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, Pas. 2;
The monotony of life in the camps has Opt (been
disturbed sines the last mail left. There hes not
been one Oast worth recording. The' time ;Is occu-
pied by the troops in parades, drills, route-merchieg,
roaduending, and the ordinary military duties. The
officers find amusement for their leisure hours in
private theatricals, billiards, there being a few tables
in the several butters, or in such sports as paper
hunt/hand oceasionally, by way of variety, in a dog
hunt. The arrival of the mail from England is
the great incident which all look forward to
with most interest; and from which, when its
budget of letters and newspapers is delivered,
most derive matter for reflection, discussion, or cur-
' miss. Fortunately the mails have been delivered ,
' with greet regularity of late. Yesterday, the 21st,
the mail steamer arrived at Bezatob, exactly to its
time, and the bags were distributed the same evening.
The latent newspapers bore date of February 9.
If there has been monotony of occupation, the
weather has afforded en example of sufficient
variety. The last English mail which left
the Crimea was made up on the morn-
ing of the 19th inst. The cold, which had
come on suddenly the day before, with a ohmage in
the direction of the wind from west to north, was
then continuing, and did not again take its departure
until yesterday. At 7 a.m., of the 19th, the mercury
in the thermometer stood at 5 deg. F. on the high
ground of the plateau. The frost continued intense
throughout the whole of that day, although there was
scarcely any wind, and a bright sus was shining
through a cloudless atmosphere. Everyone was glad
to resort to furs, and all the warmer clothing
which they could conveniently wear. Early
in the morning of the 20th the thermome-
ter indicated 11 deg. F., but later in the
day the wind, whisk at first blew freshly
from the north, veered round to the westward, and
the temperature became milder. Thetterind returned
to the north the same afternoon; but, on the follow-
ing morning, the 21st, soddenly mane from the
quarter directly opposite, and, as usual, the frost
at once disappeared. The wind is now (Friday
evening) blowing strongly. from the south, and the
cloudy aspect of the sky gives indication of rain.
It has been made known that the extreme penalty
is to be paid to-marrow by the unhappy criminal
who a few weeks ago mesa the death of a wounded
comrade in the lines of the 77th Regiment. He is
to be hanged at an early hoar of the morning, near
the Woroesoff-road, where it skirts the encampment
of the Light Division. A detachment of officers and
men from each regiment is to attend. The Rev. Mr.
Wallace is the chaplain appointed to read the funeral
service. The murderer, who is a mere youth, attri-
butes hie fearful offence against the laws of God aced
man to a vicious caner spleinatieally pursued from
childhood upwards, but more immediately to the mad-
dening effects of recent indalgenos la admit spirits.
A large number of invalids of the artillery, and
from several divisions of infantry, embarked to-day
on board the Andes sesear.treseport at Baisksva for

England. Among the invalid inswingers is Lieut.
Macey, of the 19th Regiment, whose Goaded aid
sufferings at the assault on the Rahn attracted so
nub notice at the time in England. Russian
pm and stores are constantly coming down from
the front for shipment. The French are also actively
employed in removing their trophies of the war from
the town to within the lines at Bamleach. The large
desk from the main street of Sebaidepel. bearing the
oaken mom a Bemis*, Loudest" ha been carried

naval monument, which forms so issegionai ea object
and highly ornaments the terrain sear the spot where
Fort Nicholas stood. will not be disturbed,
as it was erected to eemmunerate individual pl.

to the monuments which we shall leave behind us in
the Crimes.

It now appears that oar saltpetre and sulphur

recruits for the German Legion to Heligoland. The
