MITTEE--(THIS DAY.)

The committee of inquiry resumed their labours this
morning at the usual hour.
Increasing interest seems to be manifested in the
proceedings as they progress, and the space allotted to
the public was crowded almost to suffocation.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was the
first witness called.

He was examined by the chairman, aid stated—l

joined the expedition at Scutari on the 10th of May.
The men were particularly healthy at that time, but the
Commissariat operations were not so satisfactory as we
could have wished. I commanded the first division.
We embarked for Varna on the 13th of June, and the
whole forces went by steamer, except the artillery, which
went in sailing vessels. We landed and took up our
camp ground. I cannot say the troops were actually
in want of provisions, but the supply was by no
means regular. I had an opportunity of inspect-
ing the country, and I should imagine there was
difficulty in procuring fuel. I got general directions to
take up camp ground for the first divisio❑ as near as
possible to where the light division were ; and I did so
accordingly. We were on high ground, but we were
further from the water than the light division. We
took up such ground as we thought most advantageous.
As regards the supply of forage, we had sufficient barley,
but not of hay. We had no draught animals besides
oxen attached to the division. The first. case of sickness,
I think, was about the 17th July. It was then very
warm. We had only been there 17 days then.

The Chairman—What disease was it ?
His Royal Highness—The cholera.
Chairman—Had you any medical Dien attached to the
division ?

His Royal Highness—We bad one surgeon and two
assistant-surgeons to each regiment, but many of them
fell ill ; some after our arrival.

Chairman—Was there a good supply of medicines t
His Royal Highness—The medical men had medicines.
As soon as the disease broke ent I took measures, with
the concurrence of Lord Raglan,to remove our encamp.
ment.

Chairman—When did you leave Yarna ter the
Crimea

His Royal Highness—We left on the 29th August.
I consider the division was then in a sickly state. I lost
a great many men. I tried to make up the brigade of
Guards, and I found I had lost 170 men. This was in
Bulgaria. These men died of cho!era and fever ; but I
cannot tell how many died amongst the Highlanders.
Chairman—To what do you attribute this mortality ?
His Royal Highness—To the nature •f the climate.
The greater mortality amongst the Guards I account for
by the fact that they were more accustomed to porter
then the regiments of the line, and they wore unable to
obtain any supply of it there. Only a few horses were
lost in Bulgaria.

Chairman—When did you land in the Crimea!

His Royal Highness—On the 17th September. From
that time until the 14th of the following month the men
were without tents. My impression is that all the men
wh• were wounded were got into the field hospital the
same night. We had at that time 16 or 11 surgeons
with the division, but these were scarcely sufficient.
My belief is that every regiment ought to have at least
four medical men attached to it. The men did not land
with their knapsacks, but with their great coats and
blankets only, in compliance with a general order.
The Chairman—Were you at Balaklava when the di-
vision arrived I

His Royal Highness —1 marched there with it, and
we took possession of the town. The houses were not
in readiness for an antici-
seictci
ounp
oe du,t
sai tt
hweatsonwenc etsosabrey to take up a military po•
pated attack. I do net know anything of the appro-
priation of the houses.

The Chairman—Did you see a large house with Lord
Raglan's name upon it 1

His Royal Highness—l believe Lord Raglan occupied
a house when he first went into the town ; but I do not
think it was used afterwards. It was offered to sae for
my accommodation when I became ill. Two days after
the arrival of the troops the men were employed in the
erection of batteries and the formation of trenches—and
they were so fully occupied that I do not think it was
possible to spare any of them for the purpose of road-
making. The cholera broke out afresh at Balaklava.
The town was in a filthy condition. The final *encamp-
ment of my division was about six miles from the town,
to which there was a very good road. As to the com-
missariat, I had nothing to complain of,—the brigade of
Guards never went short of their rations, and if anything
was required the commissariat invariably obeyed my
instructions with promptitude and regularity. Ido not
think, however, that the commissariat as at present
constituted is at all well adapted. Considerable in-
convenience arose from the system of receipts.
My commissaries did everything in their power, and
so far the supply of everything was regular whet
it could be obtained ; and I generally made it
a rule to have at least three days' provisions
beforehand when it was possible ; but when irregularity
did occur, I attributed it to the fault of the chief com-
missariat department.

Chairman—Whose duty was it to form depots at
Balaklava?

His Royal Highness —The Commissary-General I
presume, but there were no stores at Balaklava. When
I left the Crimea, the bad weather had not set in, and
there was but little difficulty about the roads ; but there
was often a defect in the supply of provisions to the
camp generally. I think the men were quite hardly
worked without having to fetch supplies, which ought to
have been sent to them.

Chairraan—When were any baggage arrivals brought
to Balaklaya.

His Royal Highness--I think the first arrived about
the Middle of October. Some of the horses were in a
sad condition from over work in conveying supplies and
want of forage. In fact I was obliged to shoot 17
horses one morning, from the sad state to which they
were reduced. I have no idea how it wai that forage
could not be supplied. I was very well satisfied with
my general staff, in which I was very fortunate in having
excellent and clever officers. The appointments were
made by the Commander-in-Chief. I think it my duty
to say that I don't think any general officer was ever
better served than I have been in this respect. My senior
aide-de-camp, Colonel 211`Donnell, was particularly men-
tioned in Lord Raglan's despatches, and I think he is
qualified for a far higher position than he has hitherto
held. The army transport and supplies, be believed,
were entirely under the control of the Commissariat De-
partment, whose duty it was to minister to the physical
wants of the army.

By Mr. Layard—l believe some reports froze medical
gentlemen had been obtained relative to the climate of
Bulgaria ; but I did net hear of it until after sickness
broke •ut amongst the troops. No particular instruc-
tions of a precautionary nature were issued to my divi-
siou ; but I took pains myself,
as well as I could, with
this view, and I frequently had the tents struck in order

to purify them. As to the supply of porter, it was
stated that the commissariat could not supply the whole
of the army with porter ; and, though I thought it ne-
cessary that the Guards should have it as before, at the
same time I deemed it inadvisahle tiaat an exception in
this respect should be made in favor of any particularcorpe.

greatest sickness prevailed. I think the ambulances

am not acquainted with the coast of Asia Minor beyond
what I have remarked on the maps. I am not aware of
any supplies of food having been sent thither to the
Crimea. A portion of siege train was some time at Varna
before we left, but I have no idea when it arrived.
Mr. Layard—Supposing the army bad been ordered
to Silistria or the Danube, how would the siege train
have been moved ?
His Royal Highness---I believe by native bullocks
or oxen. We could net have moved the army without
the siege train—we might have moved some of the di-
visions. Up to the time I left Tama, no animals for the
conveyance of the siege train had arrived.
Mr. Layard—Your Royal Highness, I believe, was
on board the Retribution during the storm ?
His Royal Highness—l was. With regard to the
anchorage, I heard various opinions expressed as to its
being very unsafe.
I Lord Seymour—Does your Royal Highness agree
with Sir De Lacy Evans when he says that he considers
the commissariat department ought to be removed from
under civil management altogether, and that it ought
to bg under wilitary gurerilateLideUee.

His Royal Highness—l quite agree with that. I also
think it would be s very good thing if the land trans-
port service were removed from the authority of the
commissariat.

By Lord Seymour—Much inconvenience arose from
the knapsacks being left behind in the Crimea ; but I
think there were good grounds for leaving them
behind. The men were sickly ; and in a quick
operation, the knapsack, the coat, and the blan-
ket, with the accoutrements were very heavy indeed. I
believe some of the men of my division have never since
recovered their knapsacks. I think every regiment of
850 men should have a surgeon and three assistant-
surgeons. This of course applies to times of war. I
attribute the sickness amongst the men partly to over
work, and partly to cholera. I think if more rice and
vegetables, arid less salt meat had been supplied to the
troops sickness would not have prevailed to such an ex-
tent. I do not think the men in our troops were
so apt at cooking their food as the French.
I have no reason to find fault with the tents. I have
heard, since I left the Crimea, that there has been great
deficiency in the medical supplies, but I cannot say we
were badly supplied up to the time I left. The pioneers'
tools were very bad indeed ; the bill hooks were dis-
creditable, and that was one of the chief reasons why we
could net obtain fuel. We could not cut it. I have no
acourato means of judging of the weight carried by the
French soldiers compared to our own ; but my own
belief is that they carried quite as much as ours.
By Sir J. Paltington— I must repeat that I was very
fortunate in my division in my commissariat officers.
The Guards whilst I was with them never were on half
rations or short of feed. I presume if we could have oh-
tallied additional labour that we could have cut and laid
up a supply- of fuel for the winter ; but the men were so
hardly worked that we could not call upon them to in-
crease their labour in getting I think an army in the
field ought to get as much fuel out of the field as they
can—hut it ought to be supplied to them after-
wards. Rice is very plentiful in Turkey, and was most
useful when so much salt meat was supplied, and
he believed that the only reason it was not issued to the
army was that it was not a usual ingredient in military
rations. I consider every division ought to keep at least
three days' supply of provisions ready in hand, as I
attempted to do—but I do not recollect that I was able
to accomplish it during the time I was before Sebastopol.
This was, however, entirely a divisional arrangement.
By Mr. J. Ball—l am aware of complaints having
been made relative to the green coffee served to the army
—and I, for one, regret that it was ever issued ; for I
am of opinion that cocoa was far preferable. But the
men objected to it.

Layard—Does
Mr. L your Royal Highness consider that
the improvements introduced in the army have kept pace
with the progress of modern invention
His Royal Highness—l am of opinion that many
modern inventions might have been advantageously in-
troduced into the army. I think, for instance, that it
would be very advisable to have mackintosh coverings
for hospital tents. Ido not think there has been much
change in the army since the Peninsular war; but the
education of the men is far superior now to what it was
then, and they have greatly improved even during my
short military experience.

By Colonel Lindsay—l cannot say there was any
reason of complelint respecting the shoes when I was
in the Crimea. I was informed that the numerical
strength of the army after the battle of Inkerman was
13,500 ; but I am net prepared to say whether such was
actually the case. I am of opinion that it was over-
work alone which killed our troops ; because the High-
landers, who were not worked so hard, suffered least. I
can give the committee no opinion relative to the
effective state of the French army at that time.
Colonel Wilson, of the Grenadier Guards, said—He
left Southampton on the 27th February, with his regi-
ment, of which he was captain at that time, and arrived
at Scutari on the 29th April, where he remained until
the 18th of June. The health of the men there was ex-
cellent. At Varna, whither they proceeded, they en-
camped about a mile from the town. They afterwards
proceeded to Aladin. There sickness broke out—ditor-
rhcea and cholera.

[LEFT SITTING.]

" T.HE REBUKE."

(Front the Examiner.)
It will be remembered that Mr. Sidney Herbert treated
the destruction of the transports
,off Balaklava in the
storm of the 14th of November as an even against which
no human prudence could have guarded, and he styled
it a rebuke of Providence. Mr. Stephen Owen, the only
surviving officer of the transport-ship Resolute, who has
been examined by the Committee of Inquiry, does not
support Mr. Herbert's view of the disaster. According
to his evidence the whole mischief was referable to the
obstinate mismanagement of Captain Christie.
The Resolute, laden with arms and ammunition, ar-
rived off Balaklava about the beginning of October, and
remained in the harbour till the 27th, when she was or-
dered out. During this period of more than three weeks
she had not discharged her cargo, excepting a few boxes
of Minie balls, and she went out of the port as she had
come into it, with 500 tons of ammunition on hoard,
about which, says Owen, no inquiry had been made.
With such management can we wonder that the trans-
port service costs so much money ?
The Resolute having gone out 3,000 miles to carry
munitions of war to Balaklava, and having laid three
weeks and more in the port with her cargo on board,
carries it out again to sea, and brings up outside in the
roadstead. Captain Lewis, the commander, represei.ts
to Captain Christie, who has the control of the trans.
ports, the extreme danger of the ship's position in the
event of bad weather, and entreats permission either to
re-enter the harbour or to make sail and lie to under
topsails in the offing. Captain Christie Will not consent
to either step for safety, though it appears that Admiral
Lyons had condemned the anchorage as dangerous, and
given his opinion that no ship should lie there with a
rising gale. The event verified Captain Lewis's antici-
pation. In the first gale from the south the Resolute,
was driven from her moorings and lost. There were alto-
gether sixteen vessels anchored outside, and eleven were
totally wrecked. Five hundred lives were thus lost, 2S
only having been saved, and most wonderfully saved.
The plea has been that the harbour was full, that
there was no room for the Resolute, or that, if there
were room, it was not safe for a vessel loaded with am-
munition to lie there ; but assuming for a moment that
this was the case, why was the permission refused to
Captain Lewis to provide for the safety of his ship by
lying to in the offing ? Why did Captain Christie insist
on pinning her to a dangerous anchorage
But was the harbour full ? Mr. Owen states that it
is 400 yards long, and will hold fifty ships if properly
moored, that on the 14th November there were only 25
in it, and that there was room to spare for all the sixteen
lying in the exposed anchorage outside.
Mr. 0 wen closes his evidence with the most emphatic
and positive opinion that there would have been no
danger in the storm if the ships had been allowed by
Captain Christie to put to sea and obtain an offing.
This unfortunate Resolute had been kept more than
three weeks in the port with her cargo on board, about
as much cared for as if it had been stored in Woolwich
arsenal. She was then nearly another three weeks
anchored in the roadstead, waiting certain destruction
by the first •n-shore gale, in company with sixteen other
♦essels, ten of which bad the same fate.

And this is called a disaster beyond human control,
and no one is said to be to blame. If Mr. Owen!' evi-
dence is to be believed, the disaster is directly referable
to Saptain Christie's control, and to his refusal to per-
mit the officers and men to provide for their safety as
they desired. A terrible reflection it must be for this
officer that 500 men have perished through his fore-
warned obstinacy.
And that is not all, for how much more privation and
suffering has been referred to the loss of the stores in the
storm—stores, some of which had been in the harbour,
lying for weeks in the harbour, and taken out to perish.
And this has been treated as an inevitable calamity,
and presumptuously assigned to the will of Providence.
Why, if 18 vessels had been ordered to anchor for
weeks in any open roadstead on our coast in the early
winter, and refused permission to put to sea upon signs
of bad weather on a lee shore, the destruction of the
greater number of them would have been a matter of
certainty, the sure consequence of such perverse rash-
ness.

On land and water Crimean management is •f the
same stamp. There was no road from the port to the
camp is the helpless plea for one score of calamities,
though obviously the first business should have been to
make the road. But where nature has provided for us
a way, the sea, mark how it is turned to account in this
little history of the Resolute, which carried in her cargo,
was ordered to carry it out again, forbidden to provide
for her safety, and lost with nearly all her hands, and
with all her valuable freight.

LITERATURE.

The Newcomes. No. XVIII. By W. M. Thackeray.
It would be scarcely grateful, perhaps, to com-
plain that the story of " The Newcomes" is hardly
advanced by a single incident of any importance in
the present instalment. For what is here lacking
in reference to the attractions of the work as a ro-
mantic narrative is more than compensated by the
peculiar charms of the style in which the tale is
told throughout. In several particulars we have
rarely recognised those charms to greater advan-
tage. It were difficult, indeed, to select any hap-
pier specimens of our author than might be culled
on the instant from these chapters of " The New-
comes"—the latest effusions of his ever-lively ima-
gination. Mr. Thackeray is here in turns, and
that, moreover, with an abounding ease (a mastery
sometimes evidenced even by the merest freak of
some casual expression), caustic and genial, wise or
witty, satirical. as well as humorous. In his allu-
sions to the funeral of Lady liew--" called away
to the giddy notes of a Mayfair fiddle"—" dropping
from the bony clutch of her old fingers," not roses,
but " a wreath that came from a Parisian band-
box"—how lovingly and tenderly he talks of death,
even while he stands with his reader by the " vel-
vet-palled box spangled with fantastic heraldry,"
containing that " aged slough and envelope of a
soul," the corpse of the departed Countess ! How
exquisitely, for example, he talks of little children
who are lost to their parents in the bloom of their
infancy and laid in the grave so prematurely—as
" heaven's foundlings!" How awfully, he writes
of the holy words of the burial service—exclaiming
" What magnificent words ! What a burning faith,
what a glorious triumph ! What a heroic life,
death, hope they record !"—" I have fancied, for
my part, that they fell and smote like the sods on
the Coffin." But, presto ! with the next sentence
we have returned once more to the world of com-
monplace—according to option we are following
the Earl of Kew, who has bounded into a cab and
is off to the railroad, or are in company with the
MarquisT of Farintosh, who has ordered " that
thing to be taken from his hat, and, with a cigar
in his mouth, is rolling back to town in his
brougham. As yet his marriage is not broken if
—and we are fain still to regard Ethel as the
[ affianced bride of Princekin. Her discomfited
suitor and cousin, Clive, with his incomparable
sire, noblest and gentlest among the sons of war,
have hurried away in the hope of distracting their
more bitter thoughts by a hasty, almost silent,
nearly sullen, and thoroughly English tour on the
Continent. Newcome pere sad and irate, New-
come fits despondent and melancholy. After a
while they settle down for an interval at Brussels,
where scheming Mrs. Mackenzie, pretty little Rosy,
excellent James Binnie, and with them one Goby
and another Hoby (both captains), are pleasantly
domesticated. At the instance of Colonel Newcome
this agreeable family circle is further increased by
the arrival on a visit from England of our old young
friend Arthur Pendennis, his charming wife Laura,
theirinfant progeny, and its inevitable attendant.
Before the close of this excursion to the Belgian
capital we detect as clearly as ever did that most
amiable of young women, Mistress Laura, the de-
signs made upon the unsophisticated but wounded
heart of Clive by Mrs. Mac and her girlish little
simple, designing daughter. Everybody about him,
consciously or unconsciously, appears, somehow or
other, to be in this conspiracy against the young
painter's bachelorhood. It remains yet to be seen
how far the said conspiracy is likely to prove suc-
cessful. We are charmed, on taking leave of the
dear old Colonel and his beloved Clive, to hear the
editor of the "Pall-mall Gazette" break forth into
the following eulogium upon the latter. Mrs. Pen-
dennis has merely taken occasion to remark that
"He (Clive) is certainly taller, and handsomer, and
richer, and cleverer than Captain Hoby"—where-
upon Arthur bursts out almost in tones of indigna-
tion with—" I should think so, indeed. Why, my
dear, Clive is as fine a fellow as one can see on a
summer's day. It does one good to look at him.
What a pair of frank bright blue eyes he has, or
used to have, till this mishap overclouded them !
What a pleasant laugh he has 1 What a well-built,
agile figure it is—what pluck, and spirit, and
honour there is about my young chap," et cetera,
et cetera. Were we not right the other day in say-
ing that Arthur had marvellously improved under
the gentle and genial influence of Laura Pendennis?
Following still in the track of this same loveable
couple, attended ever by the infant and the bonne,
we are carried in the next chapter from Brussels
back to England, through Newcome, to Rosebury,
the country quarters of the ever-delightful Monsieur
de Florae, Prince de Montcontour I 0 the wonder-
ful pleasantry, the quiet fun and sarcasm, the
saccharine acidity and honeyed bitterness of the
blended humour and wit stored up in this one
chapter by Mr. Thackeray ! What graphic sketches
of the more prominent members of the Newcome
population—" the reverend Dr. Bulders the vicar,
Mr. "Vidler the apothecary, Mr. Puff the baker,
Tom Potts the jolly reporter of the Newcome
Independent,' and Batters, Esq., the proprietor
of that journal !" 'What glimpses into the sorrow-
stricken and overshadowed home of Lady Clara—
more and more darkly overshadowed on the advent
to the Benbow room of the "Newcome Arms "
kept by honest Boniface Taplow—of Mr. Harris,
civil engineer, otherwise my Lord Viscount High-
gate ! What exhilarating peeps into the domestic
economy of the Potters at the Parsonage, with
Torn Potter squeezing the Prince's hand tenderly
at parting, and calling him His Highness,
.though
"dashed" but the other day by the apparition of
a billiard-table at Rosebury, when labouring under
the notion that his highness was originally a billiard-
marker—with Mrs. and the Miss Potters cheaping
mackerel at the garden gate with Rowkins the cos-
termonger, beating the "pore man" down to
" fippens" in spite of his wife and family—with
Lizzy and Liddy stuffing that horrid flannel waist-
coat of papa's into the chiffonier when, in the dread
of drawing-room visitors, they hurry on their new
dresses and flurry out music book and altar cloth !
Above all, what new insights we get into the nature
of that exquisite and inimitable Do Florac—hap-
piest among the happier creations of Mr. Thackeray,
foremost among the more agreeable portraits pen-
cilled off to the life by the facile hand of that delight-
ful genius ! Everywhere M. de Florae comes before
us deliciously—whether going to cover with his
" steppere," or driving his" drague" among the hur-
rahing street boys of Newcome, or shrieking "Ali!"
to the discords of the village organ-loft—whether
commenting upon Tom Potter and the like " My
word of honour there are some of them here, if I
were to say to them wax my boots, they would take
them and wax them!"—or whether at another
moment, on the arrival of Arthur and his wife, the
Prince cries out to his maitre d'hotel, " Frederic,
remember Monsieur is master here ! Run before
his orders. Prostrate thyself to him. See that every-

thing be done for Monsieur Pendeunis—forMadame
sa charmanto lady—for her angelic infant and the
bonne. Nono of thy garrison tricks with that
young person, Frederic ! vieux scelerat. Garde
toi de la, Frederic, si non je t'envoio a Botany
Bay ; je to traduit devant le Lord Mairo !" Grate-
ful in the pleasant remembrance of those two won-
derful creations, Do Florae and Colonel Newcome,
we close the March instalment of the new story by
Mr. Thackeray wondering still whether Lady
Clara will escape from that intrigue with Lord
High gate, whether Clive will escape from the de-
signs of Mrs. Mac and Rosy, whether Ethel will
escape from that terrible match with the high and
mighty Princekin, Marquis of Farintosh.

The Martins of Cro' Martin. No. IV. By

Charles Lover.
As the two elaborately humorous etchings by
Phiz will, of themselves, sufficiently indicate to
any one opening the present number of " The
Martins of Cro' Martin," the new chapters of Mr.
Lever's latest serial are replete with all his cus-
tomary, ever welcome, and thoroughly Irish fun,
frolic, and animation. We hardly know which is
the more amusing, as we should certainly find it
difficult to decide which is the more entirely cha-
racteristic. The Clearing Out of the little Hibernian
watering-place at the close of the season, when
every one was in such complete deshabille, that
it had there been a cork leg or a
glass eye
in the company, it would not have shrunk
from the gaze of that open-hearted com-
munity," the testimony of which is afforded
visibly enough by many a Welsh wig, flannel
dressing-gown, an worsted nightcap, to say
nothing of Miss Busk's auburn ringlets, stowed
away in a small casket of mahogany ? Or (a scene
quite as ludicrous and, if possible, still more
Milesian) the floundering of the great family coach
of the Martins upon the unfinished ' new cut' to

England has won honour." In contrast to Mary

forth to be Mary's governess and compantion—
so that Joe Nelligan has the agreeable prospect
before him of choosing between the two
girls, while becoming familiarised simultaneously
with an old and new acquaintance. Nothing fur-
ther is said in the present number about his
fashionable college mate recently domesticated
among the family grocery at Oughterard. But
much is said, and that very pleasantly too, about
old Catty Broon in her snuggery up at Cro'Martin)
Castle. A glimpse, moreover, is vouchsafed to the
reader through old Catty's maundering garrulity
when chatting confidentially ever a midnight
tea with her young mistress, of the mystery upon
which we presume the whole machinery of the plot
of the story hinges. What the actual nature of
that mystery is, is left as yet entirely to our ima-
gination. It is hinted at, however, plainly enough
to pique curiosity, while imparting a zest that
might otherwise be wanting to the captious hauteur
of Lady Dorothea, and still more to Mr. Martin's
lasting, though languid, equanimity.

471? CILIRLES NA PIER.

The following letter has been addressed to the
editor of the Tintes

Sir,—l have no reason to be dissatisfied with your
remarks on the services of the Baltis fleet ; you have
done them justice, and I am surd officers and men will
be pleased.

As to myself, you observe, " If we understand the
case rightly, Sir Charles Napier's objection turned much
more on the lateness of the season and the uncertainty
of the weather than on any engineering difficulties."
As I feel certain you wish to act fairly and justly, I
will furnish you with the means of understanding the
ease rightly.
I seed you a chart of Sweaborg and. Helsingfora and
a plan of their fortifications, showing the adjacent
islands and sunken rocks.

Show them to any naval officer, young or old (and you
must know many), and ask him if it is possible in win-
ter to place buoys and beacons on those rocks and.
shoals ; to conduct a fleet alongside the batteries of
Sweaborg, having neither gun-boats nor mortar•boats to
cover the approach of the vessels and boats ; to place
the buoys on the sunken rocks, all of which are within
range of the enemy's batteries. It will require several
days for this operation, and they will he under fire night
and day.
The Russians themselves could not navigate these
seas without beacons, and they are all removed.
During the time the process of buoying is going on
the fleet must lie at anchor among the outer rocks.
Imagine to yourself, sir, a southwest gale coming on
(and in the winter without warning), and judge what
would become of your fleet and gun and mortar boats.
A great number of the former would be driven on the
rocks, and the latter would either be swamped or obliged
to take refuge in the enemy's harbour.
You must not compare such an operation to the pro.
secution of ordinary commercial enterprises.
I served with Sir Sydney Smith en his attempt on
Boulogne in November, 1805. He did not weigh diffi-
culties and forestall contingencies, and he lost all his
boats, and very nearly lost his ships.
. . . _ _

Nelson had not those difficulties to contend with either
at the Nile or Copenhagen. At the former his enemy
was at anchor in an open roadstead in August. At
Copenhagen, in the month of April, he had a saf, har-
bour to lie in to make his arrangements, no gales of wind
could affect either his ships or beats, he could choose
his day—as the wise men at the Admiralty told me to
do in the month of October—but I will engage not one
of them would have found the day had they been in my
place,
Lord Exmouth attacked Algiers in the middle of sum-
mer ; there were neither rocks nor shoals there. He did
not capture it, and I doubt whether he would have
tried it again. At Acre the weather was fine and no
difficulties, and, had the Egyptians held out, notwit
standing the explosion, its capture was doubtful, a
with a Russian garrison impossible.
Sir James Saumarez, with a very superior force, was
beat off at Algesiras, and lost a ship ; and Admiral
Dundas bad no reason to be satisfied with his attack at
Sebastopol.

Wit]. You tell me why Lord Nelson and Lord Coiling-
wood did not attack Toulon or Cadiz ? Neither of them
was so strong as Sweaborg or Cronstadt.
Why did not Lord Howe, Lord Bridport, tnd Lord
St. Vincent attack Brest, l'Orient, Rochefort, &c.
Because they knew they would have been defeated.

Why did -the French admiral and myself refuse to
attack Sweaborg ? Because we had not means, and
because the narrow entrance was blocked up. Had i
been opened (even without gun-boats) the allied flagg
would have been flying on the inner road of Sweabor a
You say, Sir, " Supposing the enterprise to be other-
wise favourable, the mere lateness of the season does
not appear a sufficient objection."
A. ship attack on a strong fortress is at all times
difficult ; add to that the intricacy of the navigation and
bad weather, and it becomes impossible.
You say, Sir, I have no case to bring before the Howse
of Commons.

My complaint was, that the Admiralty had perverted,
intentionally perverted, my reports and changed
their whole meaning, and used language to drive
me to do what was perfectly impossible, persevering in
their perversion notwithstanding all my explanations.
These letters I could not produce without injury
the service, but they might have been examined by m
secret committee, who could have reported whether Sir
James Graham or Sir Charles Napier had told the truth.
I'll answer for it, Sir James Graham would not like to
have his hands untied, and I tell him the day will come
when they will be untied, and he and his Board will be
covered with con!usion.

I produced no papers, sir, nor did Mr. Melina utter
one word that could injure the public service.
The list of vessels going to the Baltic, published the
other day, will do more ha,rm than all that was said in
the debate.

---.
Sir- James Graham stated in the house that when I
was called upon to specify the ships that were not in a,
state of discipline I did not do so. This is a subterfuge.
I wrote the following answer to the question :
" I bee tn observe that when I stated that some of the
ships of the line were perfectly unfit to go into action, I
alluded to those which had lately arrived from England
and had not fired a shot ; and ships in that state I con-
sidered, and still consider, are unfit to fight, and I beg to
remind their lordships that the fleet was newly manned
and had only been two-months from England, and though
every exertion had been made to render them efficient by
the officers in command, two months is not enough to or-
ganise a fleet. With regard to the detailed report of the
state and condition of the ships not having accompanied
my letter, I beg to observe that I did not conceive the re-
ports of inspection sufficiently satisfactory to lay before
their lordships. I waited till I could send a proper report."
That requires no comment. Again, alluding to Swea-
borg, he said :
" If Sir Charles had adhered to his assertion made early
in May, and repeated in July, that Sweaborg was unas-
sailable either by sea or land, not one Word of doubt with
respect to the prudence exercised by him would have fallen
from my lips."
Now, sir, in plain English this is downright deception./
Upon the 30th of May, before I had seen Sweaborg, I
sent the Admiralty plans of that fortress, with the ac-
companying
letter : _ _

" I beg to send you, for the information of their lordships,
the plans of Sweaborg and Ilelsingfors, which appiar to
me unassailable by sea or land."

And on the 20th of June and 18th of July I sent my
own report and Admiral Cbads's, and they differ very
little from the report of the 25th of September.
How then can Sir James with truth say that I stated
in May, and repeated in July, that Sweaborg was um-
sellable by sea and laud ?

In May I had not seen it, and only sent the plane.
In June and July I sent him detailed plans of attack,
which he appears either to have lost or forgotten, and
he tries to shelter his neglect under what I wrote on
the 24th of July, alluding to the troops coming out, as
follows :—" An attack on Sweaborg is entirely out of
the question. The rendezvous must not be Baro
Sound, as Bomarsund is the most likely place to be at-
tacked." Had there keen 30,000 men instead of 10,0001
we should have gone to Sweaborg.
Sir James goes on to say :-
- "It appeared to nie and my colleagues, even upon th
showing of Sir Charles Napier, that it was possible, if hi*
forces were united, to make the attack by naval' means
alone."

I never showed any thing of the sort. What I showeet
in June and July I showed in September, neither more
nor less ; and this man, who considered himself fit to
manage the Queen's fleet, told the House of Commons
that he and his colleagues thought it was possible to
attack Sweaborg bj naval means alone, when, a few
weeks before, he thought it required 200 gun-boats and.
50,000 men. He stopped the French squadron and
Plumridge's ships at Kiel on the 2d of October, when
he heard of the capture of Sebastepol, and on the Oth of
October, when he heard it was a miserable deception,
he countermanded the order. Why did he do so 1 Ho
bad not received my letter disapproving of his senseless
scheme. It is true he told me not to attempt it if it
was desperate, but that Was to cover himself in the event
of disaster.

His complaint against me is, that I treated the Board
with disrespect. How comes it that neither he nor Ad.
miral Berkeley, in weekly communication with me, told
me so i Pretty friends they must have been of mine UP
let me go on insulting the Board at the very time they
were praising me. I admit that once, and once only, I
did write harshly, but I apologised to Admiral Berkeley
for so doing.

did write strong letters, but they were neither insubor.

I bare been refused redress by the Admiralty and the
Prime Minister, and I must trust to the generosity of

my case.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM-

1111TTEE.-(THIS .DAY.)

(Continued front our first edition.)

Colonel Wilson, Grenadier Guards, in continuation,
said—The bread supplied to the troops was very fair.
After encamping before Sebastopol the troops were sup-
plied with green coffee, but with no apparatus whatever
for roasting or prepaiing it. They preferred tea to any-
thing else. The French system of cookery was farsupe-
rior to our method. The food supplied to the men when
engaged in the trenches was salt pork and rum. They
generally cooked their meat before they went out, and
eat it cold. They rarely had any vegetables—but they
sometimes had rice—officers as well as men. Sometimes
the comrades of the men at work in the trenches prepared
food for them against their retnrn ; but if they did not,
of course they had to cook it themselves. Trench and
picket duty fell very heavily, and he did not suppose in
many cases that a man could get more than from three
t,2omfive hours' sleep out of the twenty-four. The

The visitors to that oasis of the eastern suburb of the
metropolis known as the Victoria-park will not fail
to have remarked a stately edifice at its south-
eastern angle. This is the new Consumption Hospi-
tal, of which the foundation-stone was laid by Prince
Albert in 1851, and which now, after a long delay,
occasioned by a deficiency of funds, is about to be
opened for the relief of E. offering humanity. This
auspicious event was on "Wednesday evening corn
memorated by the Committee of the " C'ty of Lon
don Hospital for Diseases of the Chest" at the London
Tavern, where a very large party sat down at six o'clock
to a sumptuous entertainment provided by Mr. Bathe
and quite worthy of the occasion. The Earl of Carlisle,
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, presided, and the company
at the upper table included the Rev. G. P. Lockwood,
rector of South Hackney, and many highly respectable
members of the mercantile community. In proposing
the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the New
Consumption Hospital," the noble chairman observed
that he must borrow a figure of speech from the cour.-
try whither he was bound,—they had reset to cele-
brate the opening of an hospital which bad not been
opened. (Laughter.) His LorJship went on to ex-
plain that out-patients were already received at the hos-
pital, and that in patients would be admitted in the en•
suing month of April. The noble earl then enlarged on
the merits of this noble institution and the necessity of
further exertions and increased pecuniary supplies. It
appears that the building has cost about 21,0001., and
that, taking the deficiency in the assets of the last year
together with amount required for the service of this, at
least 12,000/. must be raised to meet the immediate exi-
gencies of the case. 'We believe that the sums contributed
on Wednesday evening amounted to some 3,2001., arising
partly from annual subscriptions, and partly from a
handsome list of 2001. donations, at the head of which
figures the name of his Excellency the President of the In-
stitution (the Earl of Carlisle.) The remaining business of
the evening was of a routine character, with the excep-
tion of an excellent speech from the Rev. Mr. Rowsell,
who gave an affecting description of the sickness and dis-
tress prevalent in Bethnal-green and the districts ad-
jacent to Victoria-park. The evening passed off very
much to the satisfaction of the guests ; a military band
enlivened the repast, art: after dinner Misses Birch and
Poole, supported by Messrs. Francis, Allen, Jolly, and
Lawler agreeably relieved the " unaccompanied reci-
tative" of the orators. Mr. Harker ably officiated as
toastmaster.

The report of the directors of this company, to be pre-
I sented at the half-yearly meeting on Thursday next, just
issued, says :-" The directors have to report, that the
receipts of the South-Eastern Railway Company for the
half-year ending on the 31st January, 1855, have been
467,390/. 151. 13., including 4991. 58. 103. received of
the Brighton Company for toll ; and the working ex-
penses and renewals, 192,5311. 16s. sd. The rates, taxes,
and tolls amount to 19,9291. ss. 5(1. ; the Government
duty to 12,9961. 18s. 63. ; the rents of the Greenwich
Railway, Deptford Creekbridge and Angerstein-wharf
and branch, to 23,326/. ss. 10d. ; which sums, in addi-
tion to the interest on the mortgage debt, Seuth-Eastern
Annuities, and Guaranteed Stock of the company,
92,6881. 15s. 63., make a total deduction from the gross
earnings of 341,3731. Is. Bd. The profit and loss ac-
count shows a balance of 6,9031. 1.55. 6d.' after provid-
ing for the last dividend, as well as 11,0241. 3s. 6d., the
net earnings at the credit of steam-boat account ; and is
debited with the sum of 6,0631. 9s. 3d. for Parliamentary
and other expenses ; leaving a balance of 137,7821. 3s.
23. A dividend of lea. per share, being at the rate of
3/. 6s. 81. per cent. per annum, will absorb a sum of
123,8951., leaving a balance to be carried over of 13,837/.
3s. 2d. In the balance-sheet there is a sum in suspense
account of 8,8421 lls. Bd., which had been paid on ac-
count of the Croydon accident up to the 31st January
last. Since then a further sum of 3,1231. 11s. 3d. has been
paid on the same account. An arbitration has been
agreed on with the Brighton Company to determine in
what shares and proportions, or whether wholly by one
company or the other, the loss shall eventually be borne.
The total increase in traffic for the last half-year, as com-
pared with the corresponding half-year ending 31st Jan.,
1854, is 11,9971. 7s. sd. The credit side of the revenue
account, as compared with that for the similar period end-
ing January, 1854, shows inincrease of 2,2481. 4s. 40. The
working expenses, rates, and Government duty, for the
same period, are increased to the amount of 20,5811.
7s. 9d. The fist item on the credit side of the profit
and loss account is 6,9031. 15s. U. against 1,1231.
16s. 9d. ; and the balance of 252,9561. 18e. Bd. less
11,0241. 3s. 6d. earned by the steam-boats, making
241,932/. 14s. 9cf., is less for this than the comparative
half of last year by the sum of 18,3331. 3s. 53. Against
this amount, the charges for rents, interest, Parlia-
mentary expenses, dec., are increased by 9,3021. 11s. 3d.
This includes one-third of the Parliamentary and other
expenses incurred by promoting the Lewisham, Croy-
don, and Bromley Bill of 1853, charged in the manner
sanctioned by the proprietors in March last, and the
sum of 2,5661. 13s. 4d., payments made to the late se-
cretary and engineer. The balance of net revenue, via ,
137,7821. 35. 2d., is 15,9931. ss. 6d. less than that for
the corresponding half-year of 1854, which is thus ex-
plained :-The revenue account for the half-year ending
on the 31st January, 1855, compared with that for the
corresponding period of last year exhibits an increase in
the receipts, inclusive of the earnings of the steam-ves-
sels applicable to the half-year, of 13,2721.75. 10d. Teem
is also an increase to the extent of 5,7791. 18s. 9d. in the
amount brought from the last half-year, after payment
of the dividend declared in Sept. ; whieh sums, less 1951.
17s. 3d. in respect of interest on Canterbury and Whit-
stable securities, credited in the former period, as well
as the sum of 4,9651. 15s. 10d., being the balance on
the steam-boat account to 31st July, 1853, make a total
increase in the revenue of 13,8901. 13s. 6d. On the
other hand there will be seen an increase under the
head of working expenses-on account chiefly of renewals
of the rolling stock, 6,4901. 18s. Bd. ; for the mainte-
nance and renewals of way and works, 9,9761. 3s. sd. ;
for miscellaneous charges (chiefly attributable to the in-
crease in the conveyance of merchandise), 2,7241.
10s. 4d. ; and for rates, taxes, tolls to other com-
panies, and Government duty, 1,3891. 15s. 4d. To
these must be added the larger amount of interest pay-
able on borrowed capital and preference stock of 5,1081.
is. 3d ; the Parliamentary costs (including one-third of
the sum incurred on the Lewisham and Bromley lines),
and the payment made to the company's late secretary
and engineer, amounting together to 5,7911. ls. 11d. ;
making a total of 31,4801. 10s. Ild., subject, however,
to a reduction in the charge for the rent of branch lines
of 1,696/. 11s. lid. ; thus leaving a total increase in the
expenditure of revenue account of 29,8831. 195., and
show, after the deduction of the sum of 13,890/.135. 6d.,
previously set forth, a diminution in the amount avail-
able for dividend of 15,9931. ss. 6d. The expenditure in
the various departments is thus explained. In the loco-
motive department there has been an excess of expendi-
ture amounting to 1,6871. Is. This arises from increased
mileage and consumption of coke, and from the higher
price of materials used in renewals of engines and ten -
ders. It is also to be observed, that the increase in the
expenditure, on account of coke, has been mainly caused
by a diminution in the quantity yielded in the manufac-
ture of the article in the company's coke ovens at
Folkestone, in consequence of the defective supply of
water during the last summer, rendering it necessary to
cool the ovens with salt instead of fresh water, by whieh
the quality of the coke was at the same time deteriorated.
Measures have been adopted to remedy this defect for
the future, by insuring a better supply of water at
Folkestone. The total running of the engines has cost,
including repairs and renewals, 9-353 d. per mile, against
9.3213. for the half-year ending January, 1854. The
locomotive stock may be reported as in a highly satisfac-
tory condition. The stock has been fully maintained in
efficiency. and the service of the railway conducted with
regularity during the present half-year. In the carriage
department the excess of expenditure amounts to 4,8031.
17s. Bd. This is caused chiefly by the extensive renewals
effected during the half-year, which have been rendered
necessary to replace the oldest description of stock, and
by the high price of labour and materials. The num-
ber of carriages thus replaced by new and substantial
vehicles is 49, and they are of the 'Rost efficient and
serviceable description. The amount expended in ex-
cess, in the maintenance of way, works, and stations, is
1,0571. 13s. 63., or about WO/. more per mile main-
tained than in the same period ending in January, 1854.
The renewals have cost 9,0531. 12s. V., being
11,5661. is. Bd. less than in the same period of last
year. The proprietors are reminded that the whole
amount for renewals has become a charge against re-
venue, and, being included in the accounts with the
maintenance of way, will account for the apparent in-
creased expenditure under that head. The miscellaneous
working expenses exceed those of the corresponding
half-year of 1854 by 2,7241. 105. 4d., the principal excess
having been is the goods department, arising from the
larger 4;24911At • f tonnage carried oyes the line. The

SALMON FISHING,--Since the breaking of the storm on
Thursday last the salmon fishing in the Tay has been
prosecuted with considerable success, especially on the
lower stations. On Saturday 12 fish were caught at
Inchyra, 12 at Pyeroad station, and 14 on Saturday and
Monday at the Friarton. On Tuesday nine salmon were
taken on the Rhynd Sands, and on the other stations
below the Friarton the fishing was also good. On Wed-
