OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

grotesque efforts at progression, hapless falls, and
helpless condition when prostrate, of the wighta
engaged in the contest. The sack racing
seemed to be a favourite amusement, for
twloe the number of men entered who could
be accommodated with a fair start in the
course, which was marked out by posts and strong
ropes, and they were therefore divided into two par-
ties, the stakes being divided equally also. The
games were continued until a late hour of the after-
noon, and the groups of spectators gradually die-
pereed on account of the severe cold. The last race,
which was to have been a wheelbarrow-race, blind•
fold, did not take place.
A. the afternoon wu made a general holiday
throughout the army, the number of officers and men
assembled on the ground was very large. A sheltered
spot, between two undulating elopes, near the Guards
camp, was selected for the course. In the mile race
the starting place was on the verge of the plateau
overlooking the Tchernaya valley. The air was
remarkably clear, and the distant prospect afforded
from this position was exceedingly floe. The Fedin-
kine height., with their lines of tents and scattered
hats, and their chalky soil laid baro by the constant
movements of the troops thickly encamped upon
them, lay below, separating the Balaklava valley on
the south side from the Tchernaya valley on the
north. The tents and huts appeared dwindled in
size, but could be each distinguished to the further
end of the bills which they crowned near Tchorgoun.
Across the valleys, the lines of hills, each rising in
succession to the eastward, until they were crowned
by the highest mountain lines covered with snow,
were all clearly seen, and their outlines defined with
unusual distinctness. This part of the plateau
appeared to be on a level with the top
of that part of the Mackenzie height which
forms the north boundary to the Tchernays,
valley. The movements of men could be distin-
guished among the batteries looking towards the
valley, the guns of which b fore the armistice used to
be constantly puffing out their white tufts of smoke,
bat now appeared merely as so many black dote in
the earthworks on the summit of the cliffs. General
Codrington, attended by a single orderly, and en-
ostentatiously dressed in a for costume appropriate to
the weather, was present at the race,. General La
Marmon, who appeared conspicuous in a bright
uniform, was also present, and remained for some
time on the ground. There were many Sardinian
officers, more then French officers, in the assembly;
perhaps the change of day for the meeting bad not
been generally made known in the camps of the
latter. There is to be a Highland gathering at
Kamm on the 27th inst., when none but the usual
Highland games and exercises will be introduced.
It is settled that the Spring races are to take place
in the Tchernaya valley, on the plain between
Traktir-bridge and the large reservoir made by the
French at the time the communication of the aque-
duct with Sebastopol was cut off. This will
be, of course, on the side of the river reserved for
the Allies, but on this occasion the Russians are to
be asked across to join in the meeting. General
Codrington, it is reported, has written to General
Leaden on the subject, and sent an invitation to himself
and hie staff to attend the races. There has even been
a talk of ladies being asked, and a monster ball room
being erected by the French, the English having
furnished the timber and planks for its construction;
this entertainment, however, will probably be
deferred until peace is declared. Should the
Russian officers and soldiers come to the races,
the meeting will be a very interesting one on
many accounts. In any event, their joining in the
assembly can give them no information or advantage
in a military point of view. It could only be in case
of observation being permitted at some distance from
the front of our lines, that any advantageous know-
ledge could be hoped to be gained. One or two Rua-
situ soldiers who have advanced too tar beyond the
limits laid down in the French camps have been sent
, back under escort, but it is currently asserted that
there has been privately some fraternising and visit-
, log among the French and Russian officers. In the
valley the Russians come thickly on occasions down
to the river, and some of the waders have taken
advantage of their presence to dispose of the
various articles which they keep in the can-
teens for sale. English beer has the repu-
tation of being the beverage chiefly sought
after by the Russians. It has been remarked
that most of the soldiers who come down to the river
wear one or two medals, and that they are generally
, /tout and in good condition. It has been stated to
, be ascertained that the men wh3 thus show them-
, selves are picked men, and that none are allowed to
come down who are not previously paraded and ia-
, spected ; but this is probably a camp " shave." On
, the 20th instant a whole Russian division, apparently
, about seven or eight thousand men, marched down
, from the Mackenzie height by the Bektchi-Sersi
road, and advanced some distance into the plain,
where they halted. Alter a short time they returned
, by the route they had come. They appeared to be
route-marching for exercise.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, Mann 22.
The Weather has continued severely cold, and own-
atonally very stormy, since the last mail left on the
morning of the 18th inst. Northerly winds have
prevailed daring the whole time. On the 20th it
blew a complete gale from the north, and the non-
arrival of the mail-boat due on that day was folly
accounted for by the tempestuous state of the weather
and rough sea. Yesterday was more calm and mild.
During part of the day the wind showed a disposition
to change its quarter, but towards the evening re-
turned to the north. Tke direction of the wind is
watched with more interest in this place, perhaps,
than in any other country in Europe, for the tem-
perature and condition of the atmosphere seems at
certain seasons to be immediately dependent upon
it. The south wind, blowing from Arabia and Egypt,
comes tempered only by the snows on the higher
mountain ridges of Asia Minor, while the opposite
cold wind, blowing from the ice-bound region. of
Northern Russia, falls on the Crimea, in winter, un-
mitigated in severity by contact with any warm ter-
ritory. The atmospheric variations which ensue in
consequence of these circumstances are very sudden,
and often very great in degree, and must be very
trying to the health and frames of the inhabitants,
excepting probably in some of the deep sheltered
valleys of the south coast, where the influence of the
various winds must be very considerably moderated.
One reason, among other'', why the health of the
British army has continued so remarkably go..d
during this winter on the plateau has been, no doubt,
the liberality shown in the supplies of different
kinds of clothing issued to the troops. Tee men
have thus had the opportunity of adapting their
dress from day to day, in. kind and quantity, to the
varying emergencies of the chew.). The Tartars
and others of the agricultural population of the
country, who have come into communication with
ue, have been noticed for constantly wearing sheep-
skin cape and long coats, even in comparatively
warm weather,—a habit which has doubtless arisen
from experience teaching them that the means of
guarding against sudden sharp cold are among the
most urgent requirements of a limited wardrobe in
the Crimea. The Tartar long coat is loose and easily
thrown aside when heat becomes oppressive. The
round fur cap seems a necessary part of the Tartar
head-gear under all circumstances.
It was reported in the camps in front, on the
morning the last mail left, that a fire had occurred
the night before at Balaklava, in which a whole
hut. full of men of the Army Works Corps had fallen
victims to the flames. The story was supposed to be
one of the usual exaggerations, bat unhappily the
greater part of it proved too true. The fire occurred
in an encampment of this corps on the sloping side of
a hill, forming part of the entrance to Balaklava,
between it and Karlikoi. The flames broke out in

one of the uppermost huts, and were directed up-
wards by the force of the wind blowing from the
north, so that only two of the men's huts and a store-
house above were destroyed; had the fire commenced
in one of the huts at the bottom of the row, the
whole encampment would probably have been
sacrificed. Seventeen bodies have been taken
oat of the rains, dreadfully burned and charred,
bat twenty-two men altogether are reported
to be missing. From the positions in which
some of the bodies were found to be lying, it was
evident that the men had not moved after they had
fallen asleep. The fire may have smouldered some
time, until the apartment had income filled with
smoke and suffocating vapours, and the men have
thus been stupefied and killed before the flames ap-
peared. When they did break out, they spread with
the greatest rapidity, and the slight building was
quickly consumed, so that some described its disap-
pearing almost in one flash. Of course, nothing is
known of the origin of the catastrophe, but it is
feared there must have been some very careless neg-
lect on the part of the inmates of the but where the
fire first occurred; and taking place, as it did, on St.
Patrick's night, when there was a good deal
of drinking, intoxication may have been one
of the causes of this neglect. It was sup-
posed at first that sparks falling from the
chimney upon the dry uphalte felt covering the roof
had occasioned the fire, and accounted for the rapid
I dispersion of the flames ; but if it had happened in
this way, it is scarcely credible that some of the men
within the building would not have caught alarm
and escaped. In the camps, on an evening when the
wind is high, the air cool, and the draught strong
through the stove pipes, little showers of sparks may
be observed streaming out in all directions upon the
felted roofs of the huts, and it is strange that no ac-
cidents have arisen from this cense. In all the in-
stances where fires have first broken out, they have
been traceable, I believe, to overheating the stoves or
pipes and burning the adjoining wood, or to some
other similar neglect within the hut itself, not to an
accidental cause from without.
Oa Wednesday, the 19th, the Crimean games took
place, which had been announced for the week
before, bat deferred on account of the severity of the
weather. The temperature was still very cold, but
the atmosphere was clear and the sun bright. Now
and then puffs of wind came from the north, chilling
through the warmest clothing, and excitiog pity for
the men who were from time to time induced to strip
off all outer garments in preparation for the succes-
sive races. As usual, Major Astley, of the Scots
Fusilier Guards, was the most conspicuous victor
among the officers, and Private Hickey, of the 33rd
Regiment, among the men of the British army.
