THE CRIMEA

SEBASTOPOL, April 25.—The impression is universal
that the resources of Russia, in men, were reduced to the
lowest ebb in the course of this war, and that she would
have been utterly unable to maintain an army in the
Crimea for two whole days. This winter the troops at
Mackenzie were left without food in consequence of the
state of the roads. The Russians say they buried, in
and about Sebastopol, 86,000 men, who were killed or
died of wounds and sickness, and 100,000 more perished
in the Crimea who never smelt powder or saw a shot
fired. The number of invalids from wounds and disease
is enormous, and in the Crimea alone, and in the pro-
vinces abutting upon it, the Russian army cannot have
had less than a quarter of a million of soldiers put hors
de combat. The militia have suffered enormously. Their
frames are stout enough, but their faces are haggard,
dull, and miserable, beyond description. The French
army is fast recovering its strength and health.

Recent reductions and orders have produced great
dissatisfaction in the army. Officers have recommended
a general order to dispose of their horses by any means
in their power ; mules are selling for 4 francs. The
preparations for embarkation continued. Leave cannot
be obtained for more than three days. There is some
probability that the army will soon be on salt rations, as
the countries adjacent to the Black Sea appear to be
exhausted.—Times.

BERLIN, April 13.—Prince Frederick Guillaume has
left Stettin for London.
THE GUN-BOAT ►SQUAnRON.—We understand that the
Red Squadron, or division of gun-boats, has been sold to the
Hon. East India Company, to be employed iu the suppres-
sion of piracy in China.

THE .OTTOMAN BANK.—It is stated that Mr. Layard,
M.P., left London on Thursday to take charge of some
pending negociations, and to arrange several important
matters connected with the recently established Ottoman
bank, of which he is chairman.
It is notified in the Gazette that the Board of Health,
at Leghorn, has decreed a five days' quarantine on all
vessels coming from the Levant, in case their having no
sickness on board, or there having been none during the
voyage, and of fifteen days in case of sickness on board,
or of death having occurred during the passage.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—An English gentleman
and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Rodgett, arrived At Mart
seilles a few days since, on their way to Nice, for the
benefit of the gentleman's health. Between nine and
ten o'clock on Wednesday night they were sitting in
their apartment in the Hotel d'Angleterre, which looks
into the Place Royale. Mr. Rodgett was dictating a
letter to his ia ife, and was sitting at an open window,
His wife, looking up from the table where she was writ-
ing, missed her husband, and thought he had retired
into his bedroom, whither she followed him. Not
finding him there, she screamed for assistance, and it
was then discovered thit he had either fallen or thrown
himself from thg window, which is on the third floor of
the hotel, into the street. When the unfortunate man
was raised from the ground, he still showed signs of
life. He was carried into the nearest apothecary's
shop, where he al most immediately expired. His funeral
took place this morning. It was attended by the British
consul and the principal English residents at Marseilles.
His unhappy wife has not yet recovered from the shock.
She is waiting the arrival of her friends from England.

LIVERPOOL AND ITS HOLIDAY

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN TIMES. of
Sir,—As a merchant largely interested in the welfare
the port, as well as my own, I wish, through the mediun,
of your widely circulated paper, to ask you, or any nierct r
tile man of locus standl in Liverpool, whether they e`e,
heard or knew of so much waste of time as a b°lidalst
The proposal is childish in the extreme, and permit nje'--
the sime time, to state, that although some of the 0..,
council worthies can vote away public money to the este;
of £7,000 or £B,OOO, for one day's pleasure, WWI/ u t
M.P. who proposed the scheme would attach a small Os
to its increase. ClandaYs
Merchants in Liverpool want no holidays, ^lous to
excepted, nor do the banks. It is highly ridicu
make merchants schoolboys.—l am, sir, with respect,
