ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM-
MITTEE.

(Continued from our first edition.)

SirC. Trevelyan then went on to state that the commis-
sariat department being under his direction, if the late
Government defended themselves by blaming that de-
partment, he supposed he would be liable to censure.
Persons acquainted with the resources of Turkey as
bearing upon the commissariat department were not
employed by the Government to furnish information
with respect to that country, but they were not in his
opinion required. There was n,t, he maintained, any
failure in the commissariat department, which could
command all the necessary food and means of transport;
but the evils which arose were attributable in his opi-
nion to the mal-administration of some other branch of
the service. _ _

The witness was next examined relative to the alleged
incompetency of the Treasury clerks who were sent out
to do duty as commissary officers ; on which point he
denied the truth of the statement by General Sir De
Lacy Evans, that they had had no field experience.
Returning to the subject .1 the commissariat arrange-
ments, be denied the truth of the assertion that there
was any deficiency of store-houses ; affirming, on the
contrary, that various depots had been ,established at
Constantinople, Varna, and Malt', and on all occasions
the result of stock-taking disclosed no scarcity of sup-
plies in those store-a. There was a depot for live cattle
at Constantinople, and therefore the want of fresh meat
in the camp was to be attributed not to the commis-
sariat, but to those who had the management of the sea
transport. Sir Ci arles then read a report fr. m Com-
missary General Filder, to the effect that up to the
period of the hurricane, on the 14th November,
the army was exceedingly well supplied with food
and that fresh meat was served out every other day.
Some of the difficulties which were described to have
exi,-b-d he ascribed to the 'act that: the official relation-
ship between Lord Raglan and Mr. Filder was not so
close as that which gtqterally subsisted between the
Duke of Wellington an l his chief comtnissarlei. Tois
he ioftrred from the tenour f a letter from Lord Raglan
to Mr. Filder, inquiring what provision the latter had
male fur the army.
Reference being made to evidence taken on a previous
day, respecting the advniabdty of sending out preserved
vegetables, the witness stated that these articles bad
been sent out iu large quantities, and bad arrived in the
Cfilsea.
The committee adjourned until Monday.
