THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

Tho Constar tionne

1 of Friday has SC.,-.:.it,

zi,T.:srations on tii peculiar ;v:.t11.1-0 of the
connected with the siege of Sebastopol which are
worthy of extract. It says :
" Sebastopol resembles in nothing an ordinary ford.-
fled place, and there is no comparison to be made be-
tween the assault on the Russians in that place and the
ordinary sieges, even the most difficult, recorded in
history. The best fortified places are usually environed
by a chain of defensive works which it suffices to make a
breach in on one point. Sebastopol is not a city so sur-
rounded ; it is the reunion of numerous citadels, gene-
rally independent of each other, separated by deep ravines
and by creeks which form so msny natural ditches, so
that after having penetrated into one of thee works,
the allied troops find they have only made one step for-
ward, and that in front new ramparts arise and other
obstacles of all kinds are multiplied. To open a breach
in the weakest part of the fortifications, to push forward
assault-columns, and peLetrate by this means into the
place, is out of the question. It is necessary to carry
successively by the bayonet, under cross-fires of the most
redoubtable description, a series of fortifications, each of
which would require a long siege. Wa say by the
bayonet, for it must not be dissembled that artillery,
ordinarily prepondering in sieges, is here of only medi-
ocre effect. That which helps to impart a character
altogether exceptional to the siege of Sebastopol is the
very nature of the works executed for the defence of
the city. These works are of earth, and consequently
altogether temporary, for when towns are fortified in a
permanent manner, solid materials are necessarily em-
ployed. But this circumstance serves the Russian army;
as the balls make but little impression on these earth-
works."

The journal here observes on the well-known,
often-repeated disadvantages to the besiegers un-
der such circumstances, and then proceeds :
" The dangers of storming are greater at Sebastopol
than anywhere else. As the aggregate of the fortresses
could not be invested the troops defending the town
are constantly renewed, and in consequence escape the
discouragement and the fatigue experienced by a garri-
son during a long siege. What which the Russian Go-
vernment calls the garrison of Sebastopol is, in fact, all
and entirely the Russian army. Russia concentrates in
the Crimea all she has of energy, resources, and soldiers. A
siege, which commonly is but a secondary operation in
the general plan of a campaign, has become, in the
Crimea, by a concurrence of circumstances, known to all
the world, the tie knot of the war, and, it may be said,
that the fate of the Russian empire is dependent on the
resistance or the fall of a single place. Every assault
may therefore count as a great battle, not only because
of the number of men who may be engaged on both sides,
but also by its important consequences with regard to
the definitive solution of the question. In the contest now
going on, the Russians have such superior advantages of
every kind, that it is astonishing how, brave as they are,
they have been constantly beaten since thecomrnencement
of the siege. They have at hand, that is at their disposal,
all the resources of the country, and with the nature
of these resources they are perfectly conversant. They
combat in positions chosen by themselves, confine
themselves to the defensive, and are constantly sheltered
under ramparts ; they draw upon an arsenal overflowing
with munitions, which have been accumulated there for
years, and, what was never known before, they possess,
for a place besieged by land, ships whose formidable
batteries, transported at will on every point menaced by
the besieger, effectually second the fire of the place.
When the general commanding at Sebastopol foresees
an assault, tie orders out of the town the battalions
which, having already measured themselves with the
Allies, and proved the effects of their bravery, might be
demoralised. Fresh troops are then brought into the
place, who have sojourned and been reorganised in the for-
tified camp of the Russians at Belbeck ;they arrive thus be-
fore the assailing forces with all their moral and physical
force. Why should not these courageous and well-
disciplined forces defend themselves vigorously behind
ramparts, that is to say, in a position where inferior
troops often resist effectively the most resolute attacks ?
The Russian Generals disdain none of the trickery of
war, none of the means of destruction which may con-
tribute to a successful defence. They endeavour to im-
pose on the imagination of their adversaries when they
cannot otherwise make an impression on them. They
have proceeded even to place on their glacis the
machines Jacobi, which, in the assault of the
18th, exploded and wounded several men. These
are less an instrument of defence, for that would
be puerile, than a means of making believe in the
imaginary existence of machines quite otherwise
formidable which should be disposed in the interior
of the city. From the beginning of th,e siege have they
not spread reports that all the fortifications were mined,
and at the last extremity they would blow up the con-
querors and conquered altogether ? That match has
been eventuated at the capture of the Mamelon Vert,
which made no explosion at all, notwithstanding that it
equally passed for a mine. But the Russians then, with
that astuteness which is one of the salient trains of their
character, caused it to be reported that they had not bad
the time to fire the train of powder. In despite of all
these efforts, notwithstanding the incontestable bravery
of the Russian army, with all the advantages we have
enumerated, what is the respective position of the two
armies ? Ours has never flinched one step. Its approaches,
retarded by unheard-of difficulties, have been constantly
pursued with a firmness not to be shaken ; the Russian
army has been vanquished in two great battles, and
has been forced to relinquish any attack on our lines.
All in making way against the Malakhoff Tower, which
appears to be the key of the first defences, we are pre-
paring the means for opening fire on the ships which our
bombs have not yet been able to reach, and whose fire
inflicted so much damage on our attacking columns on
the 18th of June. Experience has taught us to employ
is carrying on this siege the kind of projectile which is
the most proper for making au impression on the ene-
my ; we began the attack with siege pieces ( fan insuf-
ficient calibre, but we continue it with an artillery supe-
rior to that of the enemy, who, to save his ammunition,
or by the powerlessness of struggling with us, withdrew
his guns from the embrasures on occasion of the can-
nonade which preceded the last assault. At this mo-
ment important ironworks at Manchester are employ ed
in founding new pieces of artillery, from which a tre-
mendous result is expected. The allied army is, besides,
well provisioned, and exempt from the epidemic diseases
which make such ravages in the ranks of the Russians."

The following letter is extracted froni the Derbyshire
Courier

RIGHT SIEGE TRAIN, BEFORE SEBASTOPOL,
3d July, 1855.

In my last letter I wound up when just going to the
trenches. I passed the night in the " Quarry," and a
remarkably warm night it was—shell from cohorn mor-
tars streamed in the whole night, dinning one with their
explosions and the whiiz of the pieces. I passed some
time in dodging them about the traverse, but afterwards
occupied a corner with a colonel and major of the Guards,
ail determined to make the best of it, and resolved that
if one of our fizzing visitors did lob over the top of the
parapet we could not help it, but that we certainly would
not pay them that attention we had hitherto done. Here
we had an acirecable variety of gun shell, and shot, which
twice nearly buried us in dust and filth, exploding in the
parapet above; however, we lighted our cigars again,
and made the best of it. A piece of shell came thud
close to my boot, and a poor fellow (Owen, of the 23d)
was killed near. A shell burst close above a cluster of
men, and, without touching one of them, cut a musket
completely through. The few casualties are most extra-
ordinary when compared with the vast quantity of shot,
shell, grape, and rifle balls fired only 200 yards off, and
at men exposed as working parties or thickly huddled in
the trench. What knocks a fellow up in the trenches
are the cold and damp nights followed by scorching dusty
desys, and these have made me rather seedy, and, I am
sorry to say, have touched my liver up again ; however, I
have at present warded off any serious attack, though
I have been rather afraid of another bout like the win-
ter one, and blue pills and essence of ginger are at pre-
sent the order of the day.
It is said that Baraguay d'Hilliers and 50,000 men are
go*. to land at Eupatoria, and complete the investment,
which will be a work of some time. The French are
ordered to prepare for the winter.

6th July.
I was rather seedy when I last wrote, and the next
morning was attacked with low fever and liver pains. I
was in detail for the trenches the next day, and, not
liking to draw in another for a dangerous duty at so late
an hour, bucked myself up and went off 4 6 a.m.,
though somewhat against A -'8 wishes. The day
was a hot one, with occasional showers, and we had a
good deal of firing. My relief did not arrive till be-
tween 9 and 10 p.m., there being some alteration, as a
universal attack from the ruins was expected ; the end
of it was that I became thoroughly knocked up and
done for with bilious fever and liver pains, but I am
glad to say I am better this evening. To-morrow I shall
hove bad sufficient experience to report before any future
Sebastopol committee as to the state of our ambulances,
as I am ordered to be conveyed in one of them to our
Sanitarium at Balaklava, a pleasant, cool place.
A very nice fellow, Gordon, was killed yesterday'y
a shell ; he had bean a volunteer for some time, bayingbrought over horses, and every preparation was robing
made for his return to England.

Miss Goddard has been giving some concerts at
Florence, where, according to the Eco d'Europa, she has
made a most favourable impression.
BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED IMURDER.—A burglary,
accompanied with a desperate attempt at murder, was
committed on Monday morning last, at Pimlico. The
family of Mr. Kilson, of 114, Warwick-street, Pimlico,
being on a visit in Devonshire, the house has been left
in charge of Martha Raof, the housemaid, who, for the
better protection of the property, was permitted to have
her grandfather in the house to sleep. They retired to
their respective rooms between 10 and 11 on Sunday
night, and at about five on the following morning the
girl, hearing somebody walking about the house, and
thinking it was her grandfather, got up and opened the
door of the back kitchen, in which she slept, to inquire
what be wanted. She had no sooner done so than she
was felled to the ground with the kitchen poker, and
became senseless. In about an hour afterwards the
poor girl was discovered lying upon her bed, with a rope
tied tightly round her neck, apparently in a lifeless con-
dition. The bed clothes were thrown over her, and
there is no doubt that the robbers considered they had
effected their murderous purpose. The only matter of
surprise was that she still lived, for no less than seven
scalp wounds had been inflicted upon her head, besides
other blows about her arms and body. She now lies at
St. George's Hospital without the slightest hopes of re-
covery. The thieves effected an entrsnce by the front
kitchen window, having climbed over the area railings,
and carried off a great quantity of plate and other valua.

RAILWAT ROBBERIES.

Wm. Crutchley, aged 40, breaksman ; Joseph Miles,
22, stoker ; and John Craddock, 42, baker, were in-
dicted for stealing, on the 12th of April last, a quantity
of tobacco, the property of John Robinson M'Clean, the
lessee of the South Staffordshire Railway Company.
Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Robert Kettle conducted the
prosecution ; Mr. Scotland defended Crutchley and
Miles ; and Mr. Motteram defended Craddock.

It appeared that, on the 10th of April last, Messrs.
Wood and. Son. of Leeds, consigned a cask of tobacco
to Mr. Elkington, a grocer at Lichfield. On the 12th
it arrived safely at Burton•on•Trent, and was there
placed on a truck, No. 861, of the South Staffordshire
Railway, to be conveyed the remainder of the jour-
ney, but was not seen erwards. After the loss
was discovered, and inquiries made, Pratt, the guard
of the train which included the truck No. 861, was taken
into custody, and he make a confession which led to
the present indictment. Pratt was now examined as
a witness, and stated that he, Crutchley, and
together with a man named Anderson (not in cus-
tody), agreed to steal the tobacco, and arranged with
Craddock, who kept a baker's shop and public-house at
Walsall, for its subsequent disposal. On the night of
the 12th they pl-oceeded to Lichfield, received the•truck,
and subsequently removed the tobacco into sacks,
which they took with them, knocked the cask to pieces,
and burnt the staves in the furnace of an engine. The
sacks of tobacco were then brought to a loney spot on
the railway between Lichfield and Walsall, adjoining
Cannock-chase, and buried in the ground. On the fol-
lowing day it was removed by Craddock in a spring cart.
On the following Monday Pratt and Crutchley went to
Craddock's house, and Craddock told them he had made
161. of the tobacco, and they received 12/. from him, ho
retaining 41. as his share. The removal of the tobacco
by Craddock from the place where it bad been buried
was established by the evidence of several witnesses, and
he was convicted, but there being no sufficient corrobo-
ration of Pratt with respect to the other two prisoners,
they were acquitted.
There were several other similar charges against the
same and other prisoners in the employment of the
South Staffordshire Railway Company, to which some
pleaded guilty, and against others no evidence was of-
fered in consequence of the result of the first case.
Craddock, against whom a previous conviction was
proved, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.
CAMBRIDGE, JULY 21.
WELLS V. NELSON.
Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Naylor appeared for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Keane was counsel for the defendant.
This was an action by a tradesman at Cambridge, to
recover from the defendant, now an officer in the 46th
Regiment, but f ormestrly an undergraduate of Caius Col-
lege, the sum of 61. 7s. on the following account :
" Oct. 22. A gold breast-pin £o 14 6
A hunting whip
Nov. 1. A gold breast-pin 1 10 0
" A gold-ring
ic Engraving crest

£6 7 0"
The defendant pleaded infancy, to which the plaintiff re-
plied, denying the infancy, and alleging that the articles
sold were necessaries. The real question in contest was
whether the articles were necessaries or not. The
evidence for the plaintiff showed that he keeps a shop
it. Cambridge, and•sells to the young men of the univer-
sity watches, jewellery, cigars, and pictures. The de-
fendant was introduced as a customer to the plaintiff by
an undergradnete of the name of Harvey, and the plain-
tiff sold the goods on credit to the defendant, without
inquiring as to defendant's means or prospects, either of
the tutor of Caius or any one else. Such a thing as in-
quiring of a tutor was never done. The defendant used
to hunt. He wore a scarf, and the pins were for attach-
ing the scarf. He associated with other young gentle-
men, and such things were worn by the undergraduates.
As soon as the defendant was appointed to his regiment
the plaintiff directed his attorney to make an application
to the Horse Guards to induce the authorities there to
compel payment of this claim, and that direction was
obeyed. On the other hand, it appeared that the de-
fendant, who is now on his way to Sebastopol, is the
only son of a clergyman in Sussex, who ssnt him to
Cambridge two years ago, when he was just 13 ;
fitted him out with everything that was necessary, in-
cluding the very plate the father had himself used when
at college ; undertook to pay all the bills sent in to and
by his tutor, and to give him, besides, 201. a term for
travelling expenses and pocket-money. The income of
the father was made up of about 2601. from church pre-
ferment and about 1401. from a small landed estate. At
the end of two terms the defendant had incurred delta
exceeding the amount of one year's income of his father,
and the latter removed him from Cambridge. The
health of the defendant did not require that he should
hunt or take horse exercise. He had no high family
connection ; and his father not only did not authorise
him to assume the position of a young man of fortune
and high rank, but, on the contrary, sent him to read.
Under these circumstances, the defendant having nothing
but his pay, and seeing that the claim, though in itself
small, was one of many, amounting in the whole to 5001.,
the father, who was substantially the defendant, resisted
the action.

Mr. Baron Parke told the jury that it lay on the plain-
tiff to satisfy the jury that the articles for which he
claimed to be paid were necessary to the real estate, de-
gree, and condition .in life of the defendant, and not
merely to that which he had assumed in the univevity.
The law held that infants were incapable of contracting
debts except for necessaries. The defendant was clearly
entitled to be protected from any contract not for neces-
saries within the meaning of the law. He (the learned
judge) and the jury, according to the obligation of their
respective oaths, were bound to administer the law ; and
it appeared to him that when the parents of young men
like the defendant same forward to sustain such a defence
as the present under circumstances like the present, not
only ought they not to be condemned, but they deserved
the thanks of society. Now the law was that mere
luxuries never could be deemed necessary for any infant
of any rank. With regard to things ornamental there
was this distinction ; things of mere ornament could nut
be necessaries, but ornamental things might be deemed
necessary if the individual would lose caste by not having
them. That being so, and this being the ca-e of the son
of a clergyman with an income of 4001. per annum,
he was not quite certain that. he ought not at once to
take the matter into his, own hands and direct them
that all these goods, were luxuries, or things of mere
ornament. At all events the hunting whip and ring
were ; and so was the engraved crest, for the mere use
of which an annual tax of 245. would have to be paid.
The breast pins he would leave to their consideration
with the remark, that if they found one to be necessary
they could hardly find two, at an interval of ten days,
to be necessary, and that as to one even, they must,
before finding it to be necessary, find that the scarf
itself was a necessary, and also that this defendant
would lose caste unless he fastened his scarf with a gold
pin. The father, however, had given the son every-
thing which he thought his son required ; and it occur-
rfed lei
him (the learned judge) that an undergraduate
of Caius, sent thither to read, by a father who was
a country clergyman with an income not 'exceeding,
4001. a year, would he in no danger of losing caste if he
with fastened his scarf a common pin instead of one
made of gal, and costing either 14s. 6d. or 11. 10• e
The question which they bad to answer was, whether
any, and if any which, of these articles wore " neces•
saries " within that meaning of the term which he had
explained to them.
The Jury deliberated some minutes, and then expressed
a wish to retire.

" Mr. Baron Parke—What can there be to retire about?
There is nothing to consider if you attend to the law as I
have laid it down, and the obligation of your oaths.
The Jury again consulted, and finally retired, remain=
ing in deliberation long after the court had adjourned.
Ultimately they returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
the amosat of both pins, 2/. 4s. 6d.

CROWN COURT.
(Before air. Baron Alderson.)
William Crow, aged 18, and Thomas Horlock, aged
13, were indicted for having wilfully and maliciously
cast stones at a train on the 'Newmarket Railway, with
intent to endanger the lives of the passengers. •
Mr. Metcalf prosecuted ; Mr. Naylor defended the
prisoners.
The facts were that the defendants and some other
lads and boys were playing at " cat " on a bridge over
the line just as a train was approaching at the rate of 18
miles an hour to pass under it. The elder cried out,
"Here comes the train ; I'll throw a stone at it," then
took up a stone and threw it at the train, but missed it.
The younger prisoner took up another stone, placed it
on the parapet of the bridge, and as the train was emerg-
ing from beneath the m,.h pushed it over. The stone
fell on to the Lead of the guard and struck him a smart
blow. For the defence it was contended that the evi-
dence showed very silly and thoughtless conduct, but not
an intent to endanger the lives of the passengers.
Mr. Baron Alderson told the jury that the prisoners
were responsible for the natural consequences of the act
they had committed. Whether it was the stone or the
train that was proceeding at the rate of 18 miles an hour
was perfectly immaterial, if one of them was ; because,
in either case, the contact of the train with the stone
was likely to endanger life. The defendants might not
have intended to endanger the lives of the passengers ;
but they could no more be heard to say so than could
a man who should put a redhot-poker into a barrel of
gunpowder round which a number of individuals might
be collected.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
The learned Judge said that the offence committed
was one so serious that the legislature had invested the
judges with power to punish it by transportation for life,
and it ought to be known that such a power existed. In
this instance he should sentence the young prisoner to
be .imprisoned till the rising of the court, and then to be
handed over to his•father, who had undertaken to give
him a sound whipping. The elder prisoner was beyond
the reach of such parental discipl;ne, and, moreover,
bad actually thrown the stone. The sentence on him,
therefore, would be that he be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for six weeks.
