It is now necessary to revert to the vessels anchored
at Baljick. As already stated, the first ease in this di-
vision of the fleet was a solitary one which occurred in
the Diamond on the 16th of July, at leaet ten days be-
fore the choleraic tendency was observed in any of our
ships of war, whether at sea or in harbour. About the
beginning of August, however, diarrliceal complaints,
gradually assuming a more severe form, began to be of
frequent occurrence in the Britannia, Albion, London,
Rodney, Trafalgar, and in other vessels which had an-
chored in the bay on the 31st of July, and in many
instances they latterly assumed a decided choleraic cha-
racter ; but on the 7th there occurred a distinct case o f
cholera in the London, which terminated fatally on the
same day. After this other cases, both of cholera and
diarriecea, took place until the 10th, when the ship went
to sea. On the following day a second death occurred,
and there was another on the 14th, 1 on the 16th, and 1
on the 18th. On the 20th the ship returned to Baljiek,
where a sixth took place on the 24th. On the 7th of
September she sailed for the Crimea, ofT which there
were three additional deaths from cholera between the
Bth reed 30th September. The last case which termi-
nated in death on the 30th was contracted on shore,
where the man bad been employel assietine to eerry the
wounded soldiers off the field after the battle of the
Alma. Though the crew of this vessel was, as will he
noticed presently, equally exposed with the crew of the
Britannia to all the extraneous exciting causes of cho-
lera prevalent at Beljick, yet they suffered but little in
comparison. In three months there did not occur more
than 21 cases of diarrheee, and 17 of cholera, of which
nine only proved fatal.

vicinity. The ship anchored about a mile from
ahoro under the chalky cliffs on the coast of Ron-
melia. The first days of August were oppressively hot
and a dead calm generally prevailed thronghout the,
day. Diarrhoea began to appear immediately after our
arrival, and every succeeding day added many fresh
cases to the list, so that by the Bth they amounted to 5 0 ,
and by the 9th to 69. Hitherto they had been very
managable, but on the 9th one ease merged into cholera.
On the day following the applicants suffering from diar-
rhoea became still more numerous, and the cases generally
more severe, but more numerous still and more difficult
to treat on the 11th and 12th. There had also occurred
during these last three days a few isolated cases of cho-
lera, three of which terminated in death. By this time
the disease had also made its appearance in several of
the other ships, and most of the medical officers had
pressed their captains to put to sea. I had myself given
the same advice, and the Commander-in-Chief, pressed

10 a.m, the great outbreak commenced, but as a
minute description of the scene which followed would
bo foreign to my purpose, a few bare facts and
figures must be left to tell the tale of an invasion
which, for the suddenness of its advent, the
tempest violence with which it raged, and the wreck it
left behind, has surpassed, perhaps, everything of the
kind in the annals of the service. I have mentioned
the marked alteration in the cases of diarrhme observed
on the morning of the 14th. This unfavourable change
might be attributed to the closed ports, and the conse-
r quent defective ventilation, but, being at sea, one entire

watch was of course kept constantly on deck. It is

When on grass, it gained in 13 weeks 2281 b., being

in six weeks it gained 1021 b., being about 171 b. per

being about 2ab, per week.

Mr. 'Tulk, of the Lowca Iron Works (Tulk and Ley),
has invented a mode of applying the principle of the
Minie rifle bullet to shot for either plain or grooved can-
non. Our non-military readers may not, perhaps, be
aware that 1-16th of an inch " windage " is allowed in
our artillery service, and that of the French—that is to
say, the diameter of the shot is one-sixteenth less
than the diameter of the bore, in order to
let the former pass down the gun. But this occasions
much waste of the effective force of the gas generated by
the explosion of the powder, by permitting it to escape
through the interstice.
The object sought by Mr. Tulk is to close the inter-
stice, on the exit of the ball, so as to determine the whole
of tie disruptive gas to its propulsion. This he pro-
poses to accomplish by
making the shot to consist of
three simple parts. The main body of the shot is a cast
iron cylindrical cone,
like the Minis shot, and may be
either solid or hollow. A second part, of cast iron, con-
sists of a solid or hollow cylinder combined with an in-
clined cone. These two parts fit into each other, passing
through the third part, which is a single or double lead
ring, fitting closely to both. When the shot, thus made
up, is put int* the cannon, the conical end points to-
wards the muzzle. The conical plug lies next to the
powder, and the leaden ring between the two. When
the powder explodes, it drives the plug with great vio-
lence into the ring, and causes the softer metal of which
it is made to expand, until its exterior surface presses
psrfoctly gas-tight against the interior of the cannon
bore. The consequence will be that the whole force of
the explosion is expended on the propulsion of the shot.
This ingenious contrivance may lead at the present
crisis to important results. Mr. Tulk forwarded draw-
ings, models, and description of it to the Admiralty on
Monday, the 18th Dec., and they are now, we under-
stand, under the consideration of officers of the Board
of Ordnance.

A SUPPLEMENT, GRATIS, WITH THE WEEKLY DIS.
PITCH, EVERY WEAK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.—The
unexampled interest which attaches to every incident
connected with the operations of the Allied Armies in the

with the view of giving the amplest details, they have
resolved upon the issue of a series of Supplements,
gratis, which will include every particular of interest
connected with the Siege and decision of the contest at
Sebastopol, and will be continued whenever demanded
by the progress of the campaign. By the publication of
these Supplements the portion of the paper usually de-
voted to incidents of domestic and political importance
will be reserved intact, and the engrossing subject of the
War will receive the fullest anel most varied illustration.
A Supplement will be published on Sunday next (gratis),
and on every succeeding week until further notice. The

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills
certain cures for all Cutaneous Diseases.—Copy of a
letter from Mr. James Meredith, Ashton-under-Lyne,
dated Jan. 15, 1854 :—" To Professor Holloway. Sir,
—For seven years I was a victim to the most unsightly
of cutaneous diseases. My whole body was covered
with sores, and although I had recourse to a variety of
means to relieve myself from this odious disfigurement
they were totally unsuccessful. Eventually, however,
I had recourse to your Ointment and Pills, which mira-
culously, by slow degrees, healed the whole of the sores,
and left my skin without a bletnish, to Lite utter aiitoni.,h-
went of
my friend?."--Sold by all Druggists,' and at
Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, Lou,
