OFFICIAL DESPATCH

PROM

REAR ADMIRAL LYONS.

ADMIRALTY, FEB. 13.

A despatch has been received from Rear-Admiral
Sir Edmund Lyons, of which the following is an
extract :

Agamemnon, off Sebastopol,
Jan. 27, 1,855.

Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the infor-
mation of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, that since my last general letter of the
23d instant (No. 60), the weather has been
particularly fine ; the health of the Army has
been much benefitted by the change. A good deal
of progresi has been made in hutting the troop s
and distributing the clothing which has been so
liberally sent out front England ; so that the mea
express themselves as being comfortable.
2. The health of the fleet and of the naval brigade
is excellent. The men are well supplied with fresh
meat and vegetables, and also with oranges, sent
from Malta by Rear-Admiral Stewart.
3. The fire from the batteries of the Allies has
increased during the last week, and that of the
enemy has not slackened. New guns have been
mounted in our batteries during the last four days.
4. On the 24th inst. I passed the day at•Balak-
lava, to superintend the service going on there,
and to make inquiries and examine into mat-
ters connected with the duties of the port,
and the transport service. I met Lord Raglan
there, by appointment, and w© made some arrange-
ments which will, I trust, have a beneficial effect.
—I have, &c.
(Signed) E. C. LYONS.
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
To the Secretary of the Admiralty.

VICE-ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER.

TO TIM EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Srn,—l will thank you to give insertion to the ACCOM.
panying letter.
I remain your obedient servant,
CHARLES NAPIER.
Merchistoun, Feb. 11.

" lierchistonn-hall, Horndean, Feb. 11.
"Stn,—l have been very much surprised at Admiral
Berkeley's reply to your question.
"I do not intend to bandy words with the gallant
Admiral, but I beg to tell you, when the papers—which
I hope will be asked for—are produced, it will be seen
that I was goaded to act contrary to my own judgment
—that I was censured—and finally dismissed my com-
mand. _ _

ADELPHI ThEATEE.

After a long sleep of upwards of twenty years Auber's
Le Dieu et la Bayadere was last night revived at the
Adelphi Theatre. When we last had the pleasure of
witnessing this delightful ballet opera, it was at Drury-
lane, when under the lesseeship of Captain Polhill, the
celebrated Mr. Wood sustaining the part of the Un-
known, Mdle. Duvernay, that of the Bayadere, Mdle.
Augusta, Fatima, and Miss Betts, Ninka. After such a
long repose, we think it necessary for the rising gene-
ration " to explain, in as few words as possible, the plot
of Le Dieu et la Bayadere. The story of the play turns
upon a Hindoo legend of a deity banished from Heaven,
and doomed for a certain time to wander on earth until
some offence to a higher power is forgiven. The doom
of the Unknown is to wander on earth until he has wooed
and won a devoted heart, and with this object in view
he directs his steps towards Cashmere, where he arrives
and wins the affections of one of the bayaderes, Zoloe,
the beloved of the Chief Judge. The Unknown having
freely expressed himself upon the cruelty of the Grand
Vizier, a decree is issued dooming the rebellious subject
to death ; and just as all things are going on as the most
ardent lover could wish, the captain and his guard ar-
rive at the gates of the palace of the Chief Judge, where
Zoloe had been dancing ; and to avoid the guard, Zoloe
contrives to secret her lover in her palanquin, on which
he is borne to her cottage. The Unknown, however,
proves to a degree ungrateful for the noble ant of Zoloe,
and his attentions to Fatima are sufficient to arouse the
jealousy of Zoloe. At this moment the guard arrives,
the Unknown escapes, but his lover, whose participation
in his escape has been discovered, is condemned to be
burnt at the stake. The fire is ignited, and the doom
of Zoloe appears certain, when the Unknown appears, as
Brahma, and carries off La Bayade're to the regions of
bliss.

We shall dismiss the musical characters in a few
words. Miss Woolgar did all she possibly could as the
Unknown, and Paul Bedford certainly did for the
Judge. Time was when Paul could sing the music of
the most eminent composers, but now the style
he seems to like the best is the "Jolly nose'
school. The part of Zoloe, the bayaddre,
beautifully given by Mdlle. Mara,quita ; her pantomime
was unmistakeable, and her dancing exquisite. The
celebrated shawl-dance was well executed by the corps
de ballet, and elicited loud applause. The piece has been
alunrably " mounted ;" and the finale—the ascent of
Brahma—was gorgeous in the extreme. This admirable
revival, in coujunction with the successful drama of
Janet Pride, will render any other novelty unnecessary
for months to come. The house was, of course, crowded,

crept up until 12 to 1 was taken to 1001.

MADRAS.

The directors of this company have just issued their
report. It states that during the past year large addi-
tions have been nude to the strength of the engineering
stag and the whole line from Madras to Eeyporo, on
the Malabar coast, is now occupied, and under survey
or in course of construction. The cost of the works of
the railway, so far as they have yet proceeded, has fiden
within the estimate. From the last accounts the earth-
works and bridges of the first 50 miles from Madras
!nay be regarded as completed, and consideratle pro-
gress has ben made in laying down the permanent way,
and erecting station buildings. There is reason to ex-
pect that the railway will be finished as far as the Arcot
or Wallajanuggur station, say 60 miles, during the pre-
sent year. 1 locomotive superintendent has been ap-
pointed, with a stall' of workmen. The first locomotive
engines, with the pattern passenger carriages and sup-
plies of rolling stock materials, are now on their way
out ; and orders are in course of execution here fur ad-
ditional engines and materials to complete a rolling
stock equal to the requirements of 120 miles of railway.
The allotment of the shares of the extension capital of
500,0001. has been completed. The amount paid en this
account to the treasury of the East India Company on
the 15th of January was muck in excess of the stipu-
lated sum ; and the replies received from shareholders
leave no doubt of the balance of the 250,0001. required
being also forthcoming when due. The capital account
to the 30th of Jule in India, and to the 31st of Decent
ber, 1854, in England, shows that 574,6441. had been
received, and 258,9021. expended, leaving a balance of
315,742/.

MENT.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that on the 3d July he
would move a resolution—" That this house, deeply la-
menting the sufferings of our army in the Crimea during
the winter campaign last year, and considering, in ac-
oordance with the committee, that the conduct of every
member of the Government engaged in the management
of the war was the first and chief cause of those suffer-
ings, this bonze does hereby censure the conduct of every
member of the Cabinet." (Loud cries of " hear.")

house—which he believed to be extremely good—under
the care of a committee. (Hear.)
PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE ARMY.
Mr. STANLEY asked the Secretary for War if the
Commanderin-Chief bad ordered a further inquiry into
the conduct of the superior officer and others concerned
in the late practical jokes and sham duel between officers
of the cavalry depot at Canterbury, and if that inquiry
would be trade by taking evidence on oath, or only by
voluntary evidence, as in the former inquiry ; also if
there was any objection to produce a copy of a letter,
written to the Under Secretary for War by Mr. Stanley
on the J6th or 19th day of May, informing him that the
evidence of Captain FitzWygrarn was. important, and
expressing a hope that no officer concerned would be or-
dered abroad, as he was informed was the case, with the
reply

I\tr. PEEL said, thero being nothing to implicate the
superior officers in the transactions referred to, no
ulterior proceedings were contemplated.
• Mr. STANLEY gave notice that he would bring for-
ward the question again, on the motion for the house
going into committee. (Hear, hear.)

RUMOURED CAPTURE

OF THE
REDAN AND MALAKTIOFF.

The following is from a letter from Paris, dated
yesterday, 6 p.m.:—
"As I write I learn that a rumour is actually
afloat to the effect that another attack was made
on the 19th, which also failed, but that on the
20th the troops returned to the struggle, and that
after considerable loss the Redan and Malakhoff
were at last taken. I cannot vouch for the cor-
rectness of this story, for I do not know that it
rests on any official information ; but nothing is
more probable, and like the unfavourable rumours
which the silence of the Moniteur occasioned or
encouraged, and which led people to foresee dime-
ter, the present may be but the anticipation of
future success."

THE INHABITANTS OF KERTCH.

There were plenty of Tartars in the streets, dressed in
black sheepskin cap or white turban, with handsome
jackets and wide breeches of dark silk or fine stuff,
and gaudy sashes round their waists. These fellows are of
the true Calmuck type with btillet head, forehead
villanously low, dark, piggish, roguish, twinkling eyes, obtuse
obstinate noses, straight lips, and globular chin. Unlike
most people, they improve in looks as they grow old, for their
beards, which only attain amplitude in age, then give a grizly
dignity and patriarchal air to their faces. Groups of men in
long lank frock-coats, long waistcoats, trousers tucked into
their boots or falling down over slipslod feet, sat on the door-
steps, in aspect and attire the very image of a congregation
of seedy Puseyites, if such a thing could be imagined.
Most of these men wore caps instead of hats, the
clothing was of sober snuffy hues, to match their faces,
which were sombre and dirty and sallow. Their looks
were dejected and miserable, and as an Englishman or
a Frenchman came near they made haste to rise and to
salute his mightiness with uncovered head and obsequious
noddings and gesticulations. These were the remnants of
the Russian population, but there were among them Jews,
who might have stepped on any stage amid rounds of ap-
plause, in garb and face and aspect so truly Shylock-like were
they, cringing, wily, and spiteful, as though they had just
been kicked across the Rialto; and there was also a sprink-
ling of Armenians and Greeks; they were all lean and un-
happy alike and very sorry specimens of Muscovite bourgeoisie.
Tartar women, scantily covered, were washing clothes in the
sea, like tamed Hecates—withered, angular, squalid, and
ugly lu taco and 1'902.

MR. LAYARD AND COLONEL DACRES.

On the motion that the house at its rising adjourn
until Monday,
Sir DE LACY EVANS said he rose for the
purpose of making some explanations relative to a
few remarks which had fallen from the hon. member
for Aylesbury, in the course of the debate last
week, and which expressions bad reference to a gallant
officer of the artillery, now in the Crimea. The hon.
member had doubtless no intention of reflecting in any
way upon that officer, but what he had said had led to
an inference of that kind. (Hear, hear.) He (Sir
De Lacy Evans) might therefore take the oppor-
tunity of saying that when in the East he had
felt it to be his duty to report that gallant oficer
to the Commander-in-Chief for his distinguished services
in three successive actions, and also after hs return
home to England he had laid before the Commander-in-
Chief his opinion of those officers who had particularly
distinguished themselves under his particular observa•
tion, and with regard to Colonel Dacres, he had stated
that in his opinion that officer was the most able, ener-
getic, and popular officer in that arm of the British
Forces, (Hear, hear.)

Mr. LA2YAIiD took the opportunity of removing any •
impression of the kind alluded to which his words might
have created, and also offered a few words of explanation
as to what he had stated, and the authority upon which
his anecdote was based.
