TH JUVENILE OFFENDERS ACT.-It appears to b•
the intention of Sir G. Grey to bring into immediate
, operation the act of last session for enforcing payment
from the criminal parents of juvenile offenders towards
the cost of their support in reformatories. We learn that
Sir G. Grey has appointed Mr. W. Morgan, of Binning-
Law, a professional gentleman who has shown great ia-
terest in the subject of the improved treatment of juve-
nile crime, the important functions of agent to the Secre-
tary of State, for the purpose of taking proceedings under
the act. This appointment extends over the counties in-
cluded in the Midland, Oxford, and Western Circuits,
and includes nearly all the principal reformatories at
present established in Great Britain. The enforcement
of contributions will be doubtless " a heavy blow and
great discouragement " to the neglectful practice of too
many parents whose offspring are now a burden to the
State.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1855.

A remarkable pamphlet* bearing upon the art
of war has recently been translated from the ori-
ginal French of the Russian Major-General OKOII•
NEFF, by two ingenious and intelligent officers in
our national service—Captain W. H. WEAVER
and Lieutenant E. M. JONES, of her Majesty's
86th Regiment. The production is altogether so
curious of its kind, so important at the present
juncture, and so strikingly illustrative of the mili-
tary tactics of the enemy, that we would here
direct attention to the brochure as a work small,
no doubt, in its dimensions, but really enormous,
to our thinking, iu its significance. Although
this treatise made its appearance several years since,
it may still, we believe, be confidently accepted as
an argument affording us, so to speak, the key
to the whole of the Russian military organisation.
it should be borne in re-
In testimony of which,
membrance that the author, himself a soldier of
considerable distinction, takes rank among the
favourite lieutenanfs of perhaps the greatest Mus-
covite Captain now living, the veteran Field-
Marshal Prince PASKIEWITCII. It is to his High-
ness the Prince of Warsaw that the little volume is
pointedly and eulogistically inscribed.- It asserts,
its claim, moreover, to be regarded as the expo-
nent GE the peculiar system inaugurated by that
daring and fortunate commander, as far back as
the year 1831, upon the occasion of the memora-
ble storming of the great fortified city, famous
still in the pages of history as the capital of what
once was Poland. It sets forth with the almost
Imiernatic enunciation of the very important truth
that the most common, if not the only, " plan of
attack " adopted in modern pitched battles, has
been that directed against a FLANK ! It insists
subsequently upon the almost invariable ineffeo-
tiveness of this same cautious and customary sys-
tem, proclaiming the immensely superior 'advan-
tage on the other hand of the daring scheme by
which the CENTRE of a hostile army is broken, its
two wings thereby becoming completely separated.
It is of course indisputable that, whenever a centre
is thus broken, an enemy's forces are in consequence
irretrievably routed, whereas in spite of the most
consummate dexterity iu the conduct of an out-
flanking movement, the, victor almost inevitably
finds the vanquished legions escaping from his
grasp by their orderly withdrawal betimes through
the mere terror of an impending catastrophe.
The reason for all which is, of course, sufficiently
ahiiolls—the foe is opportunely warned directly
he perceives one of his flanks to have been turned,
while the rupture of the centre of his line leaves
him no opportunity whatever for the chance of a
timely extrication. Wherefore the deduction
from all this is in its turn no less clearly maui-
fest—that- an attack directed against a flank,
though it may be wore easy in its accomplishment,

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

At one time it seemed probable that yesterday would
have been observed as a holiday throughout London, and
the Crystal Palace Company, with their usual fore-
thought, put forward an attractive programme for the
purpose of meeting the demand of the liberated metro-
politan sight-seers, who it was thought would have taken
the opportunity of visiting the building. But, as our
readers are aware, yesterday was as busy a day as any
in the year, and the palace was not so crowded as might
otherwise have been expected. However, a numerous
and most respectable audience were present yesterday,
who listened with attention to the judicious selectio❑ of
music which was performed by the magnificent bands of
the Royal Artillery, the Coldstream Guards, and the
Crystal Palace Company, which played separately and
in concert throughout the day. The grand finale of the
national airs of the Allies was given by the united bands
with powerful effect, and elicited much applause.
The concert will be repeated to-morrow, when it is
expected that a large number of visitors will be pre-
sent.

THE CZAR'S ARMIES.

The last letters from St. Petersburg are of the 24th
December. According to the Russian accounts, the
Emperor will have the following armies in the field next
spring :-1. The Crimean army of 120,000 men in the
field and 30,000 in Sebastopol. 2. The Tchernomorish
(Cossacks of the Kuban) army, 40,000 men. 3. The
Danubian army, 40,000 men. 4. The army in Lithuania
and Volhynia, 120,000 men. 5. The Baltic army,
60,000 men. 6. The reserve army, 80,000 men. No
mention is made either of the Guard and Grenadier corps
in Poland, or of the Caucasian army. The garrison of
Odessa has been frequently changed lately, but it is pro-
bably a gross exaggeration to say that it is now 50,000
strong. The reinforcements come and go, and the great
public knows nu more of the real strength of the garri-
son than do the Viennese burghers of the exact number
of troops now in this city.

A NEW RUSSIAN RIFLE Coßrs.—A private letter
from St. Petersburg states that the crown serfs have
offered the Emperor Nicholas a contingent of 60,000
men, who are to he employed as sharpshooters. Among
them are to be all the ermine hunters, who are estimated
at 20,000. These are said to be skilful marksmen, who
pass their whole lives on the banks of the Ural or the
Oby, in the chace of the fox, the beaver, and the ermine.
It is known that this animal can only be aimed at from
a considerable distance, and must be hit in the nose to
avoid injuring the skin. The whole of these hunters,
so the letter says, are to be immediately organised and
sent to the Crimea. They are to be armed with the
Minie rifle,

appointed, in consequence of having no money to pay
their fares. They marched to the terminus at Kilbarry,
where they were told they would not be conveyed to
Buttevant unless they paid their fares. They, conse-
quently, were unable to attend at the rendezvous, and
were therefore entered on the book as deserters, to
escape the consequences of which they have enlisted
by scores into the 39th Regiment.

GENERAL CANROBERT AND THE
BRITISH OFFICERS.

The following testimony to the ability of the British
officers attached to General Canrobert's staff is borne by
that distinguished officer :
"Head-Quarters before Sebastopol,
Oct. 24, 1854.
"My Lord,--I have the honour to address to you, in
the terms required by military regulations, a document,
of which the object is to certify the circumstances under
which Brigadier• General Hugh Rose, her Britannic Ma-
jesty's Commissioner at the head-quarters of the French
army, was wounded in its ranks.
"Allow me to add to this officialattestation, the expres-
sion of the high esteem which that general officer, Major
Claremont, and Major Foley, have acquired among us
by their bravery, the uprightness of their characters, and
the services which they have rendered.
" The British army could not be more worthily repre-
sented in Use Allied army.—Accept, &c.,
" Lord Raglan, &c." " CANROBEIIT.

ROW THE CRIMEAN ROMANCES OF THE
" TIM.ES" ARE RELISHED IN THE ARMY.

An officer in the Guards writes to a military friend at
home, as follows :

" The army are perfectly furious with the exaggera-
tions and misrepresentations of the Times. Don't be-
lieve what it says, for all is false. I and a good many men
are home-sick ; but we don't want to come away. We
would none of us do anything but remain here till we
have beaten the Russians. The Times correspondent
has been sent off with a flea in his ear for insolence to
Lord Raglan. I met him the other day, and told him
we were all glad of it, and that he ought to be ashamed
of himself."—Daily News.

ODESSA.

ODESSA, Dec. 21.—General Schabelski, who com-
mands the 2d cavalry reserve corps, returned here
on the 18th, and attended the divine service and
ceremonial on St. Nicholas's day in honour of the
Emperor. The service was held in the Preo-
braschenski cathedral, at 10 in the morning. The
Archbishop delivered a discourse, which he con-
cluded with a prayer for the long life of the
monarch. As he ceased praying, the guns were
heard booming from the coast batteries. The
prelate observed that all true subjects saw in
their master the elect of God, in whose hands
are placed the destinies not merely of Russia,
but of the whole world. He also reminded his
,hearers that Russia once stood as a barrier to
shield the West from the inundation of the East,
and would now prove the same firm barrier against
the flood coming from an opposite direction. The
Russian almanacs, he said, would have now to
insert the names of Sebastopol and the Crimea by
the side of Borodino and Moscow. Such, through-
out, was the character of the prelate's sermon. On
the same day General Annenkov gave a full-dress
banquet at Madame Narischkin's, and in the even-
ing there was a ball in the Exchange Hall.
Trade is paralysed. The enemy's steamers are
every now and then visible from the town, and we
all know what is going on in the Crimea; but re-
joicings are ordered. Thus the theatre is opened
this evening, and we have an illumination.

AUSTRIA.

The Cologne Gazette publishes a telegraphic de•
spateh, dated Vienna, 7th January, noon, an-
nouncing that on the previous day, the 6th, a
Convention was concluded between Colonel Man-
teuffel, the Prussian Envoy Extraordinary at
Vienna, and Prince Gortschakoff, according to
which Russia had engaged herself towards Prussia
not to attack Austria. This requires confirmation.
• The Prussian Ambassador, after the receipt
of a despatch from Berlin on the 3d, had two
confidential interviews with Count Buol and the
ambassadors of the Western Powers. The object
of these interviews is said to be the accession of
PrussiA to the treaty of the 2d December, but they
have not yet led to any decisive results.
On Saturday it vas calculated at Vienna that by

the 15th inst. the Austrian army would be in a
condition to take the field if required.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Sunday.—The ministerial Zeit says that
Austria cannot be in a position to impose terms of
peace without the concurrence of Prussia.. The
latter power has never positively refused to accede
to the treaty of Dec. 2.

The Correspondence Bureau has the following
Austrian communique :
"In Vienna it is most distinctly denied that the Aus-
trian Minister in St. Petersburg has already received
orders, if the answer to the now valid interpretation of
the four guarantees be not unconditionally compliant,
to demand his passports. There has been no such in-
struction issued, and it is to be expected that a recal of
the Austrian Minister from St. Petersburg will not take
place, until the conference of the three Representatives
in Vienna shall have pronounced the expected Russian
answer to be insufficient."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Press of Vienna, of the 4th, say;:-- " A
letter from Bucharest states that 2,000 Turks of
the garrison of that place left on the 2d for Ibrail,
and only a small detachment of Turkish troops now
remain in that city." This letter also mentions the
samo circumstance that we published a day or two
ago, viz., that Prince Stirbey is now equipping an
auxiliary corps of 10,000 Wallachians to support
the Turks in their operations against the Russians.
Count Coronini has left Bucharest for Jassy.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

A report has been current to-day and yesterday
that the south side of Sebastopol has been assaulted
and taken by the allied forces, but on application
in quarters likely to be well informed there appears
to be no ground for the rumour. To this report is
in general attributed the rise which took place at
the Bourse to-day, but it is more probably owing
to the corresponding rise which has taken place in
London, and which is known to be the consequence
of the settlement of the Ministerial difficulties which
for some days past have been the general subject of
conversation. At all events, the effect of the im-
proved prospects, combined with the rise of the
English funds, has had a very cheering effect here,
and the despondency which was becoming rather
general at the end of the week has given way to
cheerfulness and improved confidence.
The Austrian Government has summoned Prus-
sia to fulfil the engagements contained in the third
article of the treaty of April last, by which it bound
itself to mobilize 100,000 men at once, and 100,000
men within three weeks from the period of its being
summoned to do so. It is thought that this sum-
mons will force Prussia to declare herself one way
or the other, and the general belief is that the King
of Prussia will refuse.

A rumour is prevalent here at present, which I
mention because it has been spoken of pretty
freely in some of the higher political circles, rather
than because it has any real basis to rest upon. It
relates to a project for making the Archduke Louis,
brother of the Emperor Francis Joseph, King of
Poland. The Archduke Louis is at present at
Lemberg, in Gallicia.
The Moniteur contains no confirmation of the
telegraphic despatches received yesterday, which
stated that Prince Gortschakoff had accepted,
without reserve, the four propositions.
The Count de Hatzfoldt, thetrrussian Minister,
had an audience of the Emperor yesterday to de-
liver a letter, notifying the marriage of Prince
Frederic Charles-Nicholas of Prussia with the
Princess Mary Anne of Anhault-Dessau.

19th November. The three lieutenants and master had
been for upwards of fifteen months, and were still, under
arrest. No officer had been out of this paradise of a
ship during that period. The first lieutenant had been
under arrest for upward of two years ; some of the offi-
cers have even been under close arrest, confined to their
cabins. Sir James Stirling has ordered that all shall
have liberty to 6,9 ashore, but declines to interfere fur-

AUSTRIA.

The Cologne Gazette publishes a telegraphic de-
spatch, dated Vienna, '7th January, noon, an-
nouncing •that on the previous day, the Gth, a
Convention was concluded between Colonel Man-
teuffel, the Prussian Envoy Extraordinary at
Vienna, and Prince Gortschakoff, according to
which Russia had engaged herself towards Prussia
not to attack Austria. This requires confirmation.
The Prussian Ambassador, after the receipt
of a despatch from Berlin on the 3d, had two
confidential interviews with Count Buol and the
ambassadors of the Western Powers. The object
of these interviews is said to be the accession of
Prussia to the treaty of the 2d December, but they
have not yet led to any decisive results:
Oa Saturday it was calculated at Vienna thativ

the 15th inst. the Austrian army would be in a
condition to take the field if required.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sunday.—The ministerial Zeit says that
Austria cannot be in a position to impose terms of
peace without the concurrence of Prussia. The
latter power has never positively refused to accede
to the treaty of Dec. 2.

The Correspondence Bureau has the following
Austrian communique :
"In Vienna it is most distinctly denied that the Aus-
trian Minister in St. Petersburg has already received
orders, if the answer to the now valid interpretation of
the four guarantees be not unconditionally compliant,
to demand his passports. There has been no such in-
struction issued, and it is to be expected that a recal of
the Austrian Minister from St. Petersburg will not take
place, until the conference of the three Representatives
in Vienna shall have pronounced the expected Russian
answer to be insufficient."
London, England, 1855-01-09

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1855.

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegraphic despatches have been

received at Vienna :

" VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 8.

" The official Austrian Correspondenz confirms
the telegraphic despatches of yesterday and to-
day, and announces that if the Freach and Eng-
lish Cabinets approve of what has occurred, nego-

tiations for the conclusion of a solid peace wil

soon commence.

"Private intelligence says that hostilities will
not, for the present, be suspended."
" VARNA, JAN. 4.

" Omer Pasha has left for Eapptoria."
"ODESSA, DEC. 24.

" Reserve troops are being sent from Bessa-

rabia and Cherson to the Crimea.

" In consequence of rainy weather there has
for some days been a dearth of supplies at Sc-

bastopol."

PARTS, TUESDAY.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, private
but of guaranteed authenticity, announces that
Russia having accepted the four propositions of
the Allies without reserve, and according to the

interpretation of the three Powers, Count Buol
has invited France and England to proceed to
ulterior negotiations for the restoration of peace.

VIENNA, TUESDAY, JAN. 9.

Prince Gortschakoff's declaration at yesterday's

Conference having been considered satisfactory,
the negotiations for peace will soon begin, as Lord
Westmoreland and Baron. de Bourqueney have
received full powers,

ST. PETERSBURG, VIA BERLIN.

Under date of December 30 a despatch from
Prince Menschikoff has been received. Nothing
of any importance had taken place before Sebas-
topol, and the fire of the Allies was feebly sus-
tained.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 28.

The wreck of the HemPsYebe (No. 119 trans-
port), which was destroyed by fire, has been sold.
The greater part of the Government stores on
board were burnt.

FRANKFORT, JAN. 8.

Prussia gave her reply on the sth to the re-
quisition of Austria. She, for the present, re-
fuses to mobilise her army, and is joined in this
refusal by Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Saxony.
The resolution of Hanover is doubtful. The
States of the third order aro more favourable to
the views of Austria and the Western Powers.

MADRID, JAN. 6.

M. Sevillanno will present his budget to the
Cortex on Monday or Tuesday. In the Ministerial
bill nothing is said of a tax upon the Eight per
Cent. Debt. The payment of arrears will begin
on the 15th ; and that of the Coupons of Decem-
ber 31 will be made as promptly as possible.
