( From the Tines of this day.)

We can add little to the graphic narrative which
appears to-day of the fate of Kinbourn. Thisepisode
in the war incurs the danger of being neglected
from the very brilliancy and promptness of the
victory. The capture of a place after a few hours'
cannonade conveys the feeling that the exploit was
easy, and, even though important, yet not interest-
ing, and hardly to be called glorious. But the
story to-day given to the world is one of complete
preparation and profound foresight, followed by
immediate success. The allies " came, saw, and
conquered," because nothing had been omitted
which could obviate mischance or delay. The cap•
Lure of Kinbourn and the occupation of the Dnieper
estuary ought not to sink in the estimation of
Europe because the skill of the commanders pre-
chided the possibility of a long defence. The first
feature in these operations which calls for notice is
the feint of an attack on Odessa. It seems that at
jlast we have learnt that something more than dar-
ing has always been thought necessary in war, and
that "stratagem" is a word synonymous with
"generalship." For two days the combined fleet
lay in a thick fog close in to the town of Odessa.
The church bells sounded through the gloom, while
the signal guns of the fleet were listened to with
dread by the inhabitants of the seemingly threat.
ened city.- When the mist rolled away, the citi-
zens of all ranks were discerned watching the move-
ments of their enemies with curiosity and appre-
hension. Cossacks scoured the country around,
soldiers laboured at earthworks—all denoted the
expectation of an immediate attack. The wind was
high, the short swell of the Black Sea tossed the
mighty fleet, and for three days longer it lay op-
posite the fair city of the enemy, which it could
so easily have crushed. At last, on the 14th of
October, the whole fleet weighed and stood to
the eastward. It need hardly be repeated that
Kinbourn stands at the extremity of a narrow spit
of land which forms the southern shore of the liman
of the Dnieper. The Allied troops landed to the
east of the town, in order to cut off the retreat of
the garrison. This operation was completed with-
out opposition. The French placed themselves on
the left, so as to undertake the assault; the British
landed to the east of their allies, and prepared to
resist any attempt of the enemy to march to the
rescue. The French were not long before they
began the. work. In the night they crept up to
within 700 yards of the place and opened their
first parallel. But Kinbourn was too much exposed
to the sea to require the slow approaches of a siege.
The Allied fleet poured in a deadly fire from two
sides. The cannonade was louder and more inces-
sant than in. the hottest conflict at Sebastopol. A
flag of truce appeared, it was answered, and the
firing ceased. The garrison marched out, and half
of it is on its way to Spithead. Kinbourn remains
to us something more than the " bloodstained
ruins" in which Gortschakoff boasted that he had
left Sebastopol.
We may again congratulate the country on this
important conquest. No event of the war is likely
to be productive of more lasting •good. While
Marlborough was winning brilliant victories an
Admiral named Rooke seized a rock on the coast of
Spain. Little was thought of the acquisition, and
' the seaman was unrewarded. Yet, while Blenheim
and Ramilies are merely a remembrance, Gibraltar
remains a reality. So the establishment of the
Allies in an impregnable position at the embouchere
of the Dnieper and the Bug may be a wound to Rus-
sia deeper than was inflicted at Alma or InkermaL•
The place cannot be wrested from a Power which
holds the sea, while its guns command the narrcw
channel which passes close under its walls. If it be
true that communications have been kept open be-
tween Odessa and Nicolaieff, in spite of blockading
fleets, these communications must now cease. The
whole bay for 30 miles is in our possession, and the
further defences of the enemy must now begin at
the mouths of the two rivers themselves. All that
remains is to prepare for the operations of the
coming spring. The liman is frozen for about two
months, but early in March it will be as free as now
for the guu-.boats and mortar-vessels of the allies.
That Kherson and. Nicolaieff are now in danger
must be evident to the Czar and his advisers. The
defence of the latter city and its vast building yards
is intrusted to Todtleben, the young engineer of
Sebastopol. An advance against this place will no
doubt form one of the acts of the great drama of the
war, although the date of such an enterprise cannot
be predicted. It can, however, only be averted by
the conclusion of hostilities, and, if undertaken, its
success is certain, for the allies will not be impeded
by the deficiencies, nor will they fall into the errors
which marked the early campaign in the Crimea.
This is perhaps the last narrative of action and en-
terprise which NV e shall have to lay before our readers
during the present year. Skirmishes and coast ope-
rations may follow, but, though useful, they will
not have the interest which attracts the world to
the story of a routed enemy or a captured town.
We shall now have to tell of another and deeper
courage, which endures without the excitement of
the combat or the expectation -of any special re-
ward. We trust, for the sake of our country and
its good name, that the news from Balaklava for
the next four months will be what is termed
" devoid of interest." If the enemy is to bo un-
molested let it be hoped that the British army will
he tranquil also. Food, shelter, and clothing, suf-
ficient in kind and quantity, will make our troops
contented, and deprive of incident the re-
cord of their daily life. The improvement and or-
ganisation of the army will be the cheerful, though
not exciting, theme of future letters. The dreary
season of inaction will, we hope, be lightened by
present comfort and hope for the future. The trials
that are inevitable will then be met with a stouter
heart, and disregarded, because it is felt that they
are soon to pass away. If we are now at the end
of the exploits of 1855, the public may well call to
mind the incidents of a most eventful year. It
began in calamity unspeakable—it is now about to
end in triumph and well-grounded hope. The exer-
tions of the nation and those who serve it through
toil and danger have met with no inadequate suc-
cess. The darkness seems to be departing, and we
nay look with thankfulness for the coming dawn

(Front the Daily News of this day.)
If the operations of the Allies iu the liman
the Dnieper lead to the capture of Nicolaieff, or
Kherson, or both, before the close of this year's
campaign, their importance will he great. If these
objects are not achieved, the whole affair must be
regarded as a coup 2nanque. The capture of Fort
Kiubourn, and the evacuation of the Otchakoff
forts, are only of consequence as giving the Allied
squadrons free ingress and egress into and from
the Liman. And the forts themselves, though of
respectable strength, were so inadequate to with-
stand the overpowering naval force brought against
them, that their destruction is really " not worth
making a song about." But the capture of Ni-
colaieff and Kherson would not only cause an im-
mense quantity of Russian stores to fall into the
hands of the Allies, or be destroyed by the Rus-
sians themselves, but would intercept the direct
road by which ie Russian troops in the Crimea
maintain their communication with Odessa, the
great depot of provinces drawn from the Ukraine.
It is not without anxiety, therefore, that we
await the arrival of further intelligence from
the Dnieper. The season is now far advanced,
and we may soon expect the advent of storms,
frosts, and fogs that will render any advance upon
Kherson and Nicolaieff from the seaboard impos-
sible till the return of spring. And even during
the best season of the year attacks upon these places
must necessarily bo attended with serious diffi-
culties. From the entry into the Liman, between
Fort Kinbourn and the Otchakoff forts to the Delta
of the Dnieper, is a distance of thirty-six miles.
The Boug falls into the Liman at right angles (flow-
ing from the north) about midway. From the
mouth of the Boug to Nicolaieff is a distance of
twenty-four miles. The river is shallow, its course
tortuous, and commanded by steep banks on both
sides. If an attempt is made to approach Nico-
laieff by water, the field batteries of the Russians
may be brought into play to gall the flotilla at
every yard of its progress. If the advan eis made
by land, we are utterly ignorant of the number of
Russian troops concentrated in the neighbourhood
that can be brought to oppose it. The position of
Nicolaieff is naturally strong. It stands on the
neck of a peninsula, two side 3 of which (the southern
and the western) are washed by the waters of thee
Boug ; the third (the northern) by those of b
Ingul, which there falls into the Boug. We kno'
of loavrt byt
