OMER PAORA.

Omer Paella is expected every moment. Yesterday
he horses were sent down again for him to Kamiesh.
[le will retain the command of the Turkish troops in
e Crimea, visit Yenikale and Eupatoria, and then go
,) Asia, taking with him a division from here. There is
,t much chance of his doing anything there this year ;
ie season is too far advanced, and in a month, or at
.inst six weeks, the campaigning season for that part
ill be over. He may, however, do much in re•organis-
ng the army during the winter.

LISH. °PPR:ER. PRISONER IN SEBASTOPOL,
TO HIS BROTHER.

AUGUST.—No description of mine could give you an
adequate idea of the misery existing within this fort.
Vhen our army was iii the greatest distress last winter,
ve were healthy and happy compared with what the
lussian troops in Sebastopol have been since I was made
prisoner, and, by all accounts, for months before. All
ranks appear to see and feel that sooner or latei the
lace must fall, and in private the officers say openly
'iat had there been but one head instead of two direct-

„g the allied armies, Sebastopol would long ago have
~f-en in possession of the French and English. The
risoners are well cared for, particularly the officers, by
.')e Russian authorities, and have little to complain of
eyond loss of liberty. The scoundrels who deserted
Cron our ranks to the enemy have long ago found out
heir mistake, I fancy. They are are greatly distrusted by
iteir new friends, and kept in a sort of dishonourable
,urveillance, but looked very strictly after. One of them,
miscreant who deserted some time ago from one of the
.lighland regiments, bad the insolence to speak to me
'.e other day, and complain that he was "worse treated
oan the prisoners.” He asked, " what would be his
to if Sebastopol fell into the bands of the allies ; would
le be shot ?" I replied, "certainly not ; that he would
hung before the whole army, and by the hands of
e lowest Greek or Bulgarian that could be found in
amp."

It is surprising how well the Russians know every-
,hing that goes on in our camp : there muA be many
pies in our lines.

The Russians speak of the bravery of our men, infantry
..nd cavalry, as something perfectly rnarvellou-, but they
-eem to think our troops are not well handled by OH
~nerals, and that we thus throw away our best chances.
In artillery officer confes-ed to me the other day that in
ne open field, with equal numbers, an English army
vould get the best of a fight, "unless," he added,
" your superior officers let the whole affair be lost by
vent of arrangement and utter confusion."
Nearly all the younger Russian officers, and many of
he seniors, speak English perfectly well, so I can get on
.rutty well in spite of not knowing a word of French ;
i,ut this is a weary life ; I often wish myself back in
London, or even with the old depot at Cork or
Perm ny. - .
The Russian officers think we were insane to attack
the Redan as well as the Malakoff. If the latter was
`aken, the former must have fallen ! but if the Malakoff
had been held by the Russians, no troops in the world
Jould have held the Redan. They say if the combined
forces of the allies had "gone in for" the Malakoff on the
18th,famouswithin Pel
Sebastopol.issierandL But that
Lord Raglan would have
hashave
commanded
passed, I think.

Carlton House, as known to many of our readers,
occupied that portion of Waterloo-place which is south
of Pall-mall. The name of the original architect, in
the time of Queen Anne, is not known ; but the cele-
brated landscape gardener-architect Kent laid out the
grounds when the property was in Lord Burlington's
hands, between 1725 and 1732. These gardens ex
tended along the south side of Pall-mall, and are
,aid to have been in imitation of Pope's garden at
'Twickenham, with numerous bowers, grottoes, and
terminal busts. Mr. Cunningham speaks of an engrav-
ing of them by Woollett. The property came into the
possession of the father of George 111., and being as-
signed as the residence of the prince—afterwards George
IV.—in 1783. great alterations were made under Hol-
And. In accordance with that system of waste in ex-
penditure on public works which prevails most in con-
nection with royal palaces, the costly fabric under
notice was of very short duration. It was taken down
in 1827 The riding-house and stables., however,
remain. The main front of the house had a central
portico and projecting ends, the walls being rusti
sated, and the portico being partly recessed, and
oartly projecting, leaving a wide intercolumn in the
flank for a carriage-drive under. This very desirable
arrangement, however, involved an appearance of weak-
Jess, and in spite of the grouping of internal columns.
The columns have been used again at the National Gal-
, lery, though denuded of much of the decoration.—The
Builder.

.er from Mr. Samuel Shannon, baker, Mill.street, New.
townards :—" To Professor Holloway. Sir,—For eight
years I suffered with a bad leg, which confined me to
bed for months together ; it was completely black, and
swollen to an enormous size. I consulted at different
rimes sixteen medical men, but dsrived no benefit by
their treatment. Finally, I commenced using your oint-
ment and pills, and after persevering with them for two
arintha the swelling gradually decreased, the black-
ness disappeared, and I now feel as well as though no-
thing had been the matter with me." Sold by all dealers
