by the Crimean Army Fund, with comforts and necessaries
for the army in tho Crimea, left Gibraltar on the 16th
inst. for Balaklava.

MILITARY.

The depot of the 92d Highlanders arrived in Edinburgh
Castle on Thursday morning from Belfast. It numbers
above 200 strong, and meanwhile garrisons the Castle with
the depot of the 82d, embarked for Corfu.
The 15th Hussars, the head-quarters of which are sta-
tioned at the Exeter cavalry barracks, have commenced re-
cruiting. During the last few weeks the regiment has been
actively engaged in training horses for the Crimea.
Two captains, four subalterns, six sergeants, two drum-
mers, and 100 rank and file from each depot of regiments
serving in the Crimea are ordered to be held in readiness
for immediate embarkation for Malta, where they will
form a provisional depot to the army under Lord Raglan.
The Crcesus, at Southampton, will be ready for the con-
veyance of troops by the end of the month, and will con-
vey some of these detachments to Malta.
A small barrack, on the Milldam, Portsmouth, adjacent
to the new garrison hospital, has been attached to that
establishment for the accommodation of the sick and
wounded on arrival at Portsmouth from the Crimea. It
will contain from 50 to 80 convalescents.

The new cavalry barracks at Hilsea, three miles from
Portsmouth, is at present occupied by a company of mili-
tia; but a field battery of artillery, with from 80 to 100
horses, will be sent down as soon as the exigencies of the
service admit of the renwval of tho militia from those
barracks.

The authorities of the Royal Clarence Victualling esta-
blishment, Gosport, are now loading with provisions, with
all despatch, for Malta and the Crimea, the transports Isis,
Louisa, Margaretta, and Shannon. All these will be laden
and despatched (or nearly se) this day.
A letter from an officer of the China squadron, dated
Hong Kong, the 27th of November, says :—" The Rattler
has just arrived from Shanghai, bringing back the Gover-
nor of Heng Kong. We have met with unsatisfactory re-
sults at the Peiho. The Comm, now at Canton, it is ex-
pected, goes down to Singapore. The Encounter, in a day
or two, proceeds to Shanghai. The Bittern relieves the
Comus at Canton, and the Racehorse goes to Amoy. The
Winchester and Spartan, Styx and Barracouta's destina-
tion is at present unknown. One of the marine officers of
the Sybille is to be tried by court-martial. J. C. Austen,
assistant-surgeon, is appointed to the Sybille, vice Murrey,
who goes to England in the Lily. The Enterprise sailed
for England last week with all the officers under close
arrest, and a mate was sent to navigate the ship to Eng-
land, in conjunction with the ice-master, who lately had
been doing all the official duties of the ship."

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

A private letter (French) from the camp beforo Sebes_
topol, of the tat inst., is as follows :

" The cold begins to make itself felt. The thermometer
(centigrade) marks two degrees below zero (freezing point);
but this is merely a prelude. The mountaias above lnker-
mai are covered with snow, which does not fall until later
at the peninsula of the Chersoiese. The camp, enclosed
on two sides by the sea, is partly sheltered from the north
winds, and the excellent arrangements adopted by our sol-
diers will protect them from the rigours of the season.
With their usual skill and intelligence they have succeded
in establishing chimneys in their teats. The fireplace
is dug in the ground, and a pipe laid under carries the
smoke out. The Zouaves have found, ne one knows where,
water pipes in cast metal, so that their warming ap-
paratus is an object of admiration to their friends, the
English, who remain freezing till their wooden houses
come out from England to them. If the thermometer of
the weather gets low, that of the good spirit of the army
has not for a single moment fallen. Our young conscripts
rise very soon to the level of their seniors. I know not
what are the intentions of our General-in-Chief, but the
day he desires to make use of it ho will have an admirable
army to second him. In this respect he has no need to
hurry himself, for the army hat; confidence in itself, aid
its vigour is becoming more and more solid.
" The difficulty of communications having delayed the
transport of supplies of projectiles to the English camp, a
step has been adopted which will greatly accelerate that
operation. They are brought up by men belonging to the
French corps of observation. In this manner about 100
projectiles (10-inch shells) are brought up daily from Bala-
klava to the depot near the English batteries. Our brave
soldiers apply themselves with an ardour really worthy of
admiration to all sorts of work, but in particular to that
which contributes towards hastening the moment for the
assault which they so earnestly desire.
"According to the most accurate information, convey-
ance by sledges cannot be considered in the Crimea, and
even on a part of the steppes which are above Perekop, as
a mode of transport of a permanent and regular nature,
because the snow does not generally remain sufficiently
long and with the necessary degree of solidity. The Rus-
sians cannot therefore count upon the sledges in the interior
of the Crimea, and it will not be possible for them to make
use of it except to a certain distance above Perekop.
"There is as yet no indication of the arrival of the two
Russian divisions recently sent to the Crimea. They must
have found on their way great obstacles in consequence of
the rains. On the other hand, the country, no longer of-
feting say more resources for the sustenance of horses, the
greater part of the Rassian cavalry appears to have retired
towards Perekop.
" The day before yesterday General Morris made a recon-
naissance in the direction of Balder with the Chasseurs of
Africa,.veral batt.liono,and abattery. He ciacountorod mom.
posts of Cossacks, whom the Chasseurs charged, and of whom
they killed a few, and made some prisoners. The Russian
artillery in position on the right bank of the Tchernaya
fired on the party. Our artillery replied, and broke one
of the enemy's pieces. But the Russian corps stationed on
the right bank attempted Nothing. A few battalions, how-
ever, got under arms. We have had four or five wounded,
ono of whom is an officer, who received a lance thrust."

We borrow the following details of the siege of Sebas-
topol from the correspondence of the Moniteur de
l'lnnee :

" Before Sebastopol, Dec. 31.

" Starting from the Belfry-house, inhabited by the major
who commands in the trenches, and which is the cent:o of
all the orders relating to the siege operations, you enter
the covered zig-zags heading to the parallels. The first
parallel joins the second on the left ; it leads now, without
interruption, to the Quarantine faubourg.• The second
parallel, which on the left stretches 300 or 400 metres into
the bay, touches on the right the third parallel ; it passes at
the point where two ravines meet, and which unite at a
depth of 100 feet.
"At their point of junction there is a knoll called the
Green-hill, occupied, it is said, by 1,000 Russians, and
distinctly visible from the right extremity of the third
parallel, by raising one's head carefully above tho parapet.
The sinuosities of the valley protect the Russians there
from the guns of a battery placed between the English and
French lines of attack.

declinell;e' have constructed ambuscades or
shelters one metre in height, of solid stone ; they have
crenellated the walls and keep a watchful eye on every
living thing that shows itself. It is from this point that
they often make sorties,
.either on the French right or on
the English left. The difficulty of catting a way in the
rock bas greatly retarded the moment when our works can
force this important point, which is supported by twoguns
loaded with grape ; but it will inevitably be carried by the
first success of the third parallel.

"In advance of the Green-hillthere is a small lake where
the two ravines disgorge. It separates them from a third
ravine which descends from the English lines, joins the two
others, and pages be!rind the Flagstaff Battery. On this
spot the eye dwells with delight. It is a great pleasure to
behold still water, poplar trees, gardens, and a mill, it is
true, without its clapper. This oasis, which the cannon
ball alone protects against the cannon ball, is too dan-
gerous to be inhabited for any ens to think of seek-
ing a refuge there. Above the mill, still on the op-
posite incline of the deep valley which stops us, are a
number of Russian cottages, which, seen from the right
of the third parallel, appear on the flank. They are all of
the same dimensions, of the same whiteness, with the
same two black, open windows, On the left is the town ;
the church and an isolated house, with a green roof are
visible. The plateau between the incline which we see
and that which descends to the seashore is crowned by
batteries with a formidable row of cannon mouths. Here
the English will have a great part to play when the
general assault takes place.
" The Flagstaff Battery, 80 metres in front of the 3d
parallel,'ls a ruin, but it holds out. In front of tho bas-
tion there is a deep ditch, well furnished with palisades,
and the connterscarp of which bristles with cheraux de
frise. A French battery of six mortars can send shell and
rocket into the bastion from the 3d parallel.
" Along the whole development of our trenches, there
are, at the distance of abent 20 metres, crenollated earth-
works. Our sharpshooters ambuscade there, and keep a
sharp look-oat. Woo to the workman or curious indivi-
dual who shows himself ! In vain have the Russian rifle-
men constructed along their whole front ambuscades simi-
lar to ours. In boldness and skill we bear off the palm.
It Is an interesting sight to see our riflemen creep along,
like fixes or snakes, from stone to stone, under the very
walls of the town, when cannon are brought to boar
against them in reply to their rifles. At night it is a con-
tinual feu d'artifice.

" At intervals, also, the trenches are enlarged, and in-
stead of a simple parapet surmounted by gabions and
earthwork, a flight of many steps en fascine is con-
structed. Here the support battalions advance when a
sortie is made. It would be difficult to convey a just idea
of the hard work of the siege division. Duty in the
trenches lasts 24 hours, without counting the time em-
ployed in going and returning. We pass one night out of
three in a hole or ditch full of water, where it is im-
possible to light a tiro to keep out the cold. One's back
against the gabions, one's feet en a heap of stones, the
musket within reach, almost without seeing one another,
oftcers and men struggle against sleep, and are ready
to start to their feet on the irst alarm of the sentries.
It is military heroism en permanence. The siege army
has bored 20 kilometres in the rock; it obstinately
defends its works under a shower of missiles against an
enemy hidden behind walls and in ravines, continually
reinfereed by men aid ammunition. Alma was settled
is three hours; Inkerman in ens day; the siege requires
months !

" The young soldiers recently arrived from France take
a long time to get accustomed to such hard work, but the
veteran troops only exhibit impatience at waiting for the
g'oeieus object they have in view • they know that their
enemy is harder up than themselves, and this thought
makes them brave every sort of snffering.
"The ether night, in a deluge of rain and in complete
darkness, some 20 of these intrepid volunteers known in
the army as enfans perdus, because they risk their lives in
the most daring enterprises, passed out of our trenches.
Two led the way, one behind the other at the distance of five
paces. The rest of the band followed, commanded by an
officer called Benner, formerly of the 7th Regiment of the
Line. They all crept along on their bellies in dead silence
Their chief, an old Zouave, bad taught them how. As
each man lies down ho glides along his rifle to the full
stretch of his arm, he then glides on himself, and thus
gets en without noise or embarrassment, always ready to
bound to his feet should an enemy surprise him. The first
in advance acted as a guide ; he felt the way ; the second
communicated with the officer surrounded by his band.
Every man had his oyes and ears en the alert. The path
they took made a circuit. They had to leave on the rignt an
earthwork occupied by Russians. To fall upon it, carry it, or
kill its occupants, would not have been a difficult task, but
it would have given the alarm. It was necessary to double
it and glide between it and the ditch, inspect the enemy's
works, and return withoutletting them be aware of the dan-
ger they hacl ineurred. Beforeentering the narrow strip which
separates the fosse from the Russian post, the officer left
more than half his men on station. Should his party be
discovered, they were to fall upon the post. He himself,
with five or six determined men, enters the dangerous
path, and preseeds alongside the fosse—with his hand he
tries the strength of the defences ; they are bound firmly
together, and are axed fast in the ground. The fosse is
six feet deep aid full of rain-water. It seems possible to
scale the fosse—to tear up the defence, would require time;
it would be better to barn them k ehevaux de frise are con-
nected together by chains. If the one burns the other
will remain ; it is more advisable to carry them off some
20.yards--onee there, they are ours.

" The night is pitch dark. A few steps ahead a man
appears. Astonished he glides towards him. It is one of
his own men. If they all get np they are lost; a trench
stops him • he hears the sound of the spade and the pickaxe
ii the rock; he hears the workmen converse, the guard
splash with their feet in the water, the men cough. What
doers this mean? The sound is hollow; it is a mine. It
commences here and loads there. But tho rain continues
to poir down. It is bitter cold, and the flash of a
gin may lead to their discovery. The officer gives the
signal to retreat. They return the way they came. Their
track on the moist earth guides them. They pass again the
Russian outwork. The Russians little suspect a mortal
foe is so near to them. The men speak low together ; they
might take them all prisoners, but it would be imprudent.
There are other parts of the defences to be examined. The
success of the enterprise is more valuable than the death of
ten Russian soldiers. Finally, all having been explored,
they rejoin the remainder of the band who are waiting for
them lying down in the and. ' Anything new, boys ?' says
the officer. ' Nothing." Then let us return.' And these
20 brave fellows, wet to the skin, pass our sentries, who
were becoming anzions about them, in the same silence as
before.

" It is said that in the night between the 28th and 29th
of December the same men destroyed some works which
annoyed our troops, took a prisoner, despite of themselves
and carried all some sacks of powder. One of them received
a ball in the foot."

The suspension wag announced yesterday at Liverpool
of Messrs. Miller and Thompson, a well known and re-
spectable firm in the shipping trade. The liabilities are
supposed to amount to about 60,000/.
TISTIBIONIAL TO ROBIZT BRIGHT, ESQ., OP BRISTOL.
—A meeting of merchants and others, subscribers to the
testimonial to Mr. Bright, wag held yesterday, in the
Council Chamber, for the purpose of presenting to that
gentleman a splendid service of plate, in token of the
esteem in which he is held by the citizens, for his inde-
fatigable and unwearied exertions in releasing the port
of Bristol of the heavy dues on its commerce, and as a
grateful tribute for his noble and disinterested liberality
on that occasion, by which the trade of that port had
considerably increased, the imports of the last year
greatly exceeding any former occasion. Mr. Bright, in
an eloquent and feeling speech, sincerely thanked the j
subscribers for their splendid testimonial,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 23.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
BOILS Y. WISEMAN.

The facts of this case will be familiar to the reader.
It was an action for libel arising out of a letter written
by Cardinal Wiseman to Universe Le Ami de Religion,
and two Paris papers, and afterwards copied into the
Catholic Standard. The letter, it was alleged, reflected
most severely and unjustly upon the character of the
plaintiff, who is a Roman Catholic priest ; but at the
trial which took place at the last Croydon assizes, it
turned out that the Abbe Conyers, who had charge of
the original letter, refNuged to produce it ; and the Abbe
being beyond the jurisdiction of the court, there was no
legal authority to compel him to produce it. It was,
,therefore, proposed to put in secondary evidence of
the contents and authorship a the letter, but
the Lord Chief Baron, who tried the case, refused
to receive it. This secondary evidence failing, it was
next proposed to call the Cardinal himself ; but this also
the Chief Baron refused, upon the recognised rule of
law that a man cannot criminate himself. At the trial
it was contended that it would be time enough to set up
that objection after the Cardinal had been sworn, and ao
improper question put to him ; but the Chief Baron
continued resolute in his determination not to let the
Cardinal be sworn ; and there being consequently no
sufficient evidence of the authorship er cortents of the
letter, the plaintiff was non-suited.
This being the state of matters last term, Mr. James,
Q.C., moved for and obtained a rule, calling upon
the defendant to show• cause why a new trial
should not be bad, on the ground that the Lord Chief
Baron was wrong in rejecting the secondary evidence
and not allowing the Cardinal to be sworn. The rule
came on for argument before the full Court to-day, and
Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Bad-
daily were heard at some length against it, while Mr.
James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush argued in support of the
rale. Before, however, the latter learned gentleman's
argument had been brought to a close he was stopped
by the Court, the Lord. Chief Baron intimating that, if
it should be thought necessary, the Court would hear
him again on Friday next.
It may almost be infeired, from this interruption,
that the rule for a new trial will be made absolute.
