METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT
ACT.
SET LING our WARDS AND APPORTIONING VESTRYMEN.
I, Alexander Pulling, of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, one
of the persons appointed under the above act by the Right Hon. Sir
George Grey, Bart., (one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of
state) to set out the Wards, and to apportion amongst such Wards
the n =bar of vestrymen to be elected. Hereby give notice that I
shall attend further to proceed with my duties in reference to the un-
dermenti med parishes on the several times and the several places
hereunder mentioned, when and where the parish officers and other
persons interested are requested to attend.

tended the second trial on the following day.
It may be regretted that so much blood was un-
necessarily shed after the capture of the Malak-
hoff. But the Commanders could not have
anticipated so speedy an evacuation by the
Russians, who had previously so obsti-
nately contested every inch of ground. There
can, therefore, be no complaint of undue precipi-
tation on the part of those who have so nobly
earned the thanks and gratitude of their respec-
tive countries, and of each other.
The particular mention of officers who have
greatly distinguished themselves has been neces-
sarily delayed. On its arrival rewards so richly
merited will, doubtless, be distributed—rewards
suitable to the magnitude of the success and of
the daring efforts by which it was aohieved,
and worthy alike of the British nation
and of her most deserving children. Fore-
most amongst the number will be the dis-
tinguished General. We cannot doubt that a
Field-Marshal's baton will be accorded to him who
so nobly completed the plans of his gallant pre-
decessor. Lord RAGLAN was made a Field-Mar-
shal for the defeat of a formidable attack on his
troops on the memorable sth of November. But
Sebastopol was not then taken, nor had great
progress been made in the siege. Scarcely had
the electric wires flashed the glad tidings that
Sebastopol was our own, than the brave French
General received his well-merited promotion
from his Imperial Master. We should, in like
manner, signalise the great event by the elevation
of the skilful Commander of our troops to the
highest military rank a subject can attain. It
would be a graceful compliment to every officer
and man serving in the Crimea, and cause the
most lively gratification to the conquerors of Se-
bastopol—the destroyers of the overgrown power
of Russia.

ing Greek. We very much doubt, however, that
there would be any difficulty in the way if the
expenditure of the above sum was necessary. As
for the Act of Parliament, if the scheme be good
it could readily be obtained. What we would
wish to be satisfied about is, whether a scheme
involving so large an amount is necessary. We
don't think it is ; and for the scheme in question
we have no faith in it. It would not answer, or
we are greatly deceived. This, however, by no
means excludes hope of other schemes leal expen-
sive and really effective being forthcoming.
Already one has been offered which is deserving
of consideration ; and we have no doubt, if pro-
per oare be taken, others involving a compara-
tively small expenditure, and securing the object
contemplated, will be given in. Let the Lord
Mayor take courage ; the letters and addresses
lie has received from the most influential inhabi-
tants of the metropolis by no means represent the
entire amount of support on which he may rely.
He is engaged in a good work, and he will have,
at the 'very least, the good wishes and moral
countenance of a great majority of the population.

The appointment of a worthy successor. to Mr.
Sato; as Medical Officer of Health, is of the
last importance to the sanitary welfare of the
metropolis, and it is exceedingly desirable that
the Commissioners of Sewers should prove them-
selves equal to the responsibility involved in the
selection. The invaluable services and the pro-
motion of the gentleman by whose resignation
the office is now vacant, afford strong assurance
that they will do so, and that merit, and not
favour, will be the best recommendation to their
confidence. Convinced of this, we have learnt
with much pleasure that a gentleman in every
respect qualified to be Mr. SIMONS' successor has
offered himself as a candidate. Those who are
acquainted with the services of Dr. GREENECOVI in
connection with the public health will at once
recognise his singular fitness for the •ffice ;
while those who are not have only to consider his
claims, supported by the highest testimonials, to
arrive at the same conclusion. For the last thir-
teen years Dr. GREENHOW has been known as one
of the most earnest and judicious sanitary refor-
mers, and during the last six of these in which
he has been constantly engaged in sanitary inqui-
ries, and in devising and superintending the exe-
cution of arrangements calculated to guard against
epidemic disease,, he has proved himself one of the
most successful. A Member of the Corporation
of Tynemouth, which place had suffered severely
from cholera in 1849, the population are mainly
indebted to him for the introduction of the Public
Health Act, the investiture of the Town Council
with the functions and powers of a Local Board ;
and it is not too much to say for their
remarkable immunity from cholera in the
autumn of 1853, when Newcastle and Gates-
head, a few miles • off, were well nigh deci-
mated by that frightful pestilence. At that
period his active exertions and the wisdom of the
precautionary measures suggested by him, and
carried out under his personal superintendence,
were the theme of general admiration in the
north. Armed with the knowledge thus acquired,
this successful sanitary reformer came to London,
where he was appointed one of the medical in.

We cannot conclude without emphatically
warning all parties against any renewal of nego-
tiations, until the Crimea is all our own, and the
Muscovite forces fully and completely accounted
for. We have seen how the inopportune Con-
ferences at Vienna paralysed the energies of our
troops. While they continued, no decisive attempt
was made ; but their breaking up was, like the
planting of the tricolor, the signal for efforts that
materially conduced to the felicitous results re-
cently recorded. The brilliant operations in the
Sea of Azoff, the capture of the Mamelon, the
Cemetery, and the rifle pits, and the pushing on
of the trenches, rapidly followed the contumelious
rejection by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF of the ridicu-

lously lenient terms offered. We have already
learned from sad experience that nothing
can be hoped for from Russia until her
humiliation is complete. Were any ad-
vance made by the Western Powers, or with
their assent by a third party, it would be regarded
as a proof of weakness, and she would still per-
sist in her cherished designs. The aggressive
policy of PETER, and CATHERINE, and NICHOLAS

kt'

would still be followed, and diplomatists would
forfeit all the advantages acquired at so fearful a

cost of blood and treasure. Negotiations can

never be renewed until Russia comes as an bum.

ble suppliant for the Peace she so wantonly dis-
turbed, prepared to make ample compensation
for the expenses she has occasioned, and to
give " material guarantees" for her future
good behaviour. Permanent tranquillity
can never be anticipated until her overgrown
power has been reduced to suitable dimensions,
and her pride and arrogance has been broken.
Neither can be the case if negotiations be ro-

spectors, during the epidemic visitation of 1854,
in one of the worst districts, and in July last was
deputed by the Board of Health to make inquiries
into the nature of the diarrheas prevalent in
Bethnal-green and elsewhere in the metropolis,
and supposed to be choleraic—his services on
these occasions meeting with the marked approba-
tion of the Board, as well as rendering him fully
acquainted with the habits and sanitary condition
of the population of the metropolis. Such a suc-
cessor as this, to whose fitness the late President
of the Board of Health, among others, has inti
mated his willingness to testify, and whose ap-
pointment Dr. SUTHERLAND declares " would be
a great public benefit," would be worthy of Dr.
Simorr, while the appointment would do honour
to the Commissioners.

opened, save on the urgent and humble applies•
tion of Russia. Doubtless every attempt will be
made to lead France and England astray in this
important matter. Both Governments must,
however, carefully avoid the snares that may be
spread for their reception.

THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 22, 1855.

- -
They left the trenches at the preconcerted signal,
and moved across the ground pzeceded by a
covering party of 200 men, and a ladder party
of 320. On arriving at the crest of the ditch,
and the ladders placed, the men immediately
stormed the parapet of the Redan, and penetrated
into the salient angle. A most determined and
bloody contest was here maintained for nearly an
hour, and, although supported to the utmost, and
tke greatest bravery displayed, it was found im-
possible to maintain the position.
liOur lordship will perceive, by the long and
sad list of casualties, with what gallantry and
self-devotion the officers so nobly placed them-
selves at the head of their men during this san-
guinary conflict.
I feel myself unable to express in adequate
terms the sense I entertain of the conduct and
gallantry exhibited by the troops, though their
devotion was not rewarded by the success which
they so well merited, but to no one are my thanks
more justly due than to Colonel Windham, who
gallantly headed his column of attack, and was
fortunate in entering, and remaining with the
troops during the contest.
The trenches were, subsequently to this attack,
so crowded with troops that I was unable to or-
ganize a second assault, which I intended to make
with the Highlanders, under Lieut.-General
Colin Campbell, who had hitherto farmed the re-
serve, to be supported by the third division under
Major-General Sir William Eyre. I, therefore,
sent for these officers, and arranged with them
to renew the attack the following morning.
The Highland Brigade occupied the advanced
trenches during the night. About 11 o'clock the
enemy commenced exploding their magairines, and
Sir Colin Campbell, having ordered a small party
to advance cautiously to examine the Redan,
found the work abandoned ; be did not) however,
deem it necessary to occupy it until daylight.
The evacuation of the town by the enemy was
made manifest during the night. Great fires ap-
peared in every part, accompanied by large ex-
plosions, under the cover of which the enemy
succeeded in withdrawing their troops to the
north side by means of the raft-bridge recently
constructed, and which they afterwards discon-
nected and conveyed to the other side.
Their men-of-war were all sunk during the
night.

The boisterous weather rendered it altogether
impossible for the admirals to fulfil their inten-
tion of bringing the broadsides of the allied fleets
to bear upon the Quarantine Batteries ; but an
excellent effect was produced by the animated and
well-directed fire of their mortar vessels, those of
her Majesty being under the direction of Captain
Wilcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby, of the
Royal Marine Artillery.
It now becomes my pleasing duty, my lord, to
place on record the high sense I entertain of the
conduct of this army since I have had the honour
to command it. The hardships and privations
endured by many of the regiments during a long
winter campaign are too well known for me to
comment upon. They were borne both by officers
and men with a patience and unmurmuring en-
durance worthy of the highest praise, and which
gained them the deserved applause aid sympathy
of their country.

The Naval Brigade, under the command of
Capt. the Hon. Henry Keppel, aided by Capt.
Moorsom, and many gallant officers and seamen
who have served the guns from the commence-
ment, of the siege, merit my warmest thanks.
The prompt, hearty, and efficacious co-opera-
tion of her Majesty's Navy, commanded by Rear-
Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, and ably seconded
by Sir Houston Stewart, has contributed most
materially to the success of our undertaking ; and
here, perhaps, I may be permitted to say, that if
it had pleased God that the successful result of
this memorable siege should have been reported
by my ever-to-be-lamented predecessor in this
command, I am sure that it would have been one
of his most pleasing duties to express the deep
sense which I know he entertained of the invalu-
able assistance and counsel he received on all occa-
sions from Sir Edmund Lyons. When at times
affairs looked gloomy and success doubtful, he was
at hand to cheer and encourage ; and every assist-
ance that could tend to advance the operations
was given with the hearty goodwill which charac-
terises the British sailor.
Nothing has contributed more to the present
undertaking than the cordial co-operation which
has so happily existed from the first between the
two services.

I cannot sufficiently express my approbation of
the conduct of the Royal Engineers under Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Harry Jones, who has con-
ducted the siege operations from the beginning of
this year. For some time past he has been suf-
fering on a bed of sickness, but the eventful hour
of the assault would not permit him to remain
absent ; he was conveyed on a litter into the
trenches to witness the completion of his arduous
undertaking.
My warmest thanks are due to the officers and
soldiers of the Royal Artillery under the command
of Major-General Sir R. Dacres, who, during the
arduous operations of this protracted siege, have
so mainly contributed to its ultimate success.
I must beg further to record my thanks for the
cordial co-operation and assistance I have received
in carrying out the details of the service from the
Chief of the Staff, the Adjutant and quarter-
master-Generals, and General Staff, as well as
Generals commanding Divisions and Brigades of
this army.
