it is idle to hope for any valid reform from within the circ'e of th,

Administrative Reform, upon the basis of thnrough nesponsibilit,
Promotion tor teri., and Business Management of every Depar

theda,

For so important an object there ran be no doubt the majority n
the C. nstitu.ticie.s setting aside. tor the time, di party and persona

With such an onta..isation in vlow. it is proposed to h.ild a Meetin.

&AVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCP

The Retribution, 28, paddle-frigate, Captain Fisher,
flag of Rear Admiral Baynes, will go out of Portsmouth
harbour to-day and join the fleet at Spithead. The
Malacca, 17, screw corvette, Captain Farquhar, will go
out and join to-morrow or Friday, having completed her
refit. The Cruiser, 14, Commander the Hon. G.
Douglas ; and the Falcon, 14, Conimander Pullen, left
Spithead yesterday morning for the Channel to relieve
the wind-bound merchantmen. Seamen are flocking
into Portsmouth in good numbers, mostly men
.who
have bad their run, and been lately employed in the
wiling line-of-battle ships recently returned to England
from the Mediterranean. The Vietniry, flag-ship, vic-
tualled nearly 1,000 yesterday, 400 of whom were sub-
sequently draughted or allowed to volunteer into the
blockships Cornwallis, Hawke, Pembroke, Hastingg,
and Russell at Spithead. The ban against these ships
receiving volunteers cf i‘eamen having been removed by.
the Admiralty, it is expected that-by this day week every
one of those ships will be ready to leave for the Baltic
with her full complement of 600 men on her books.
The Porcupine steam-vessel, Lieut. Jackson, left Ports-
mouth for Sheerness yesterday afternoon, and the M3r-
iiiidon steam-vessel returned to Portsmouth from Pem-
broke. The Great Tasmania transport arrived at Spit-
head at 6 o'clock last evening from Liverpool in tow of
a tug, to embark 1,000 troops fur the Crimea. Time
Rhadanianthus, steam transport, arm ived at Portsmouth
yesterday evening from the eastviard.

THE CONDUCT OF VIE WAR.

(Front the Pima of this day.) .
We often hear of men who are ovei-educated for their
triderstandincr, and, indeed, it is of such persons that
the- bores, the praters, and the sciolists of society are
:omposed. Such persons have furnished themselves
.vith an instrument, which they cannot apply, and that
.which was meant to be their honour has become their
.eproacli -that which was designed for their aid has
m9corrie their hindrance.
. Such would' seem to be the'
position occupied by
modern Governments: Inductive philosphy has ran-
,aelted the storehouses of nature—has forced her secrets
!roin her, arid wrested front her hand her hidden and
'mysterious powers. We can send our fleets-over the
vater winged with a speed and, vsesslng
a power of
,mrriage which the boldest imagination never could have
nticipated. We can sernta message with the-rapidity of
ightning, and outrun, if.not time- itself, that revolution
•I the earth by which we troasureit. All these are vast
'Leilities for cultivating an I improving the arts of
,eace, aiAl equally Mighty agencies fur affecting
he rapid combinations of war. Yet the result
ias shown that these magnificent, azencies, so subordi
tatel to our will, are in a great measure neutralised, if
!ot rendered positively hurtful, by the want in our
tatesmen of an intelligence able to 'deal with their
'ewers—able to foresee and effect the combinations the
.control over which is placed in the r weak and unskilful

•tngs. Our steamers have carried our troona out 13,

rapidly to the seat of war that pr,-parw ion—fur their ar-
nval lagged far behind them, and our wondrous electric
:;ilegraph has been the source of endless confusion and
iv4ification, disappointment, annoyance, and uncer-
tainty. Take but the latest instance. We have, at
:/10r1110US expense, carried the electric wire under no
considerable portion of the Black Sea, and made Bala-
lava, fiir the purposes of dote ligence at least,
so nething little more remote' thatra -rit?mrb of London.
.Ve have dons all this, but one thing we have omitted
—we have omitted to supply ourselves with a Goneral
fling to avail himself of the instiuinent we have pro-
Jided, or with a Ministry disposed to give us the benefit of
the information they receive. Therefore, the electric
telegraph to Baiaklava has turned out of no value to the
cation which paid for it, and has even added to the per-
liexities of those whose business it is to draw such con-
olosions as they may from the fragmentary intelligence
which arrives.

have news by way of St. Petersburg and Berlin,
Vienna, by Marseilles ; but all these sources of infor-
nation are discredited when we remember that the more
rapid source of communication is silent, and by the con-
jectures to which we are driven in order to account for
that silence. First, we hear that the key to the cipher
in which the despatches are written travels by steam,
while the cipher itself runs with the feet of the light-
ning ; and, next, that though the messages are decipher.
able, they consist of nothing but frivolous questions or
unmeaning acknowledgments. Still out of al! this con-
fusion there is some glimmering of light—something out
of which one may form an estimate, though far from an
exact one, of the real state of things. First, there is the
steamer Cairn, which brings us intelligence from Balaklava
up to April 17. The narrative is a checkered one.
General Bizot, the Commander of the French Engineers,
died of a wound received by him in the trenches, and
was buried on the 16th. On the 14th the French ex-
ploded three mines under the Flagstaff Battery, with '
only partial effect ; and, though the Russians appre-
hended an assault, the injury was not sufficiently great
to justify the operation. On the night of the 13th a
sortie took place, which cost the French 300 men and
six officers, but was repulsed with more than ordinary
success and more than ordinary slaughter. On the 16th
two of the Russian ships were burnt—a statement which
seems to derive some confirmation from a report drawn
from a Russian source, which states that the enemy's
fleet had advanced from the innern)e3t harbour in order

battle, and 'had placed themselves near Fort

. .
Nicholas, the work which, as our readers will re-
member, defends the southern side of the harbour of
• Sebastopol. By the Simeis we learn that the Eng-
lish have taken by assault the ambuscades in front
of the Tower of Malakhoff, and that the Russians
have found themselves obliged to abandon one of their
battaries. In the meanwhile the Russians appear to be
drawing their lines more firmly around our position ;
and the concentration of force is, if we are to believe
the report• of deserters, t Ira-mous. Over and above all
this, the illoniteur publishes a despatch of the 28th, to
the effect that the-besiegers have momentarily su-pended
their fire to await reinforcements, and to I,pare the ex-
penditure of ammunition.
Putting all the-e things together, it would seem that
we have certainly made some progress in our operations,
that we arA gra,!lually drawing nearer to the object of
our attack. and that the enemy have found themselves
(rite unable to car y out or maintain the counter-
wnrlis with which at one time they so seriously
'hr aten,,l our position. Even the Russian accounts
which. we,publish do not claim any brilliant .ucces., and
are in some places expressed with an aminguity which
inn), possibly be meant. to cover ,disasters, and admit
the tremmidnu, force of the fire to which the town has
been subjected. This cannonade must, indeed, have
been of unexampled severity—unique, as far as we are
aware, in the annals of war. To sustain such a fire fir
so many consecutive days and nights—ninetetn, accord-
in.; to the account in the Moniteue—argues an ablinfance
of resources, a solidity in the ordnance employed, and a
power of endarance on the l att r f the men, tranecendit g
anything we have ever heard or read of. Thy world can
never have witnessed anything more terrible than this
lung-continued struggle, in which instruments of destruc-
tion of a size and power never nefore employed in war
have been mi,t by Others equally powerful, and the
than lers of a tropical storm have been put to silence by
the fearful din of artillery.
During On; great duel of artillery the enemy has
been ga' tiering in mighty masses around us, and any
day may witness an attack made in enormous force along
the whole line of our defences, backed by furious sallies
from the beleaguered t,wn. Never were numbers more

needed than now. As the land dries, and the country
becomes traversable, we must expect to meet in mortal
encounter all the troops which a great empire not else-
where invaded can spare for the defence of a single pro-
vince. The difficulty of subsisting' this immense body
of men in the arid steppes of the Crimea will probably
counsel prompt awl even desperate action. We need
every man that can be sent, and yet we hear of
40,000 Fre',eh troops remaining on the Bosphorus, and
a whole division of cavalry which has spent the
winter at Adrianople. Never wag there a situa-

Lion so full of hope and fear, of danger and of pro-
mise. One moment we seem likely to grasp great suc-
cesses, the next suggests the apprehension of enormous
reverses. The nation is in a fever of expectation. The
absolute Government of France finds means to communi-

cal e to its subjects the last intelligence, even though that
intelligence be neither flattering nor encouraging. But
we are condemned to learn, at second-hand, information
c irried by our own telegraph, and are indebted to our
neighbours for giving us by that means all the know-
ledge we as yet possess of our own moat interesting
affairs. Is it possible that Lord Raglan should have
sent information of the concentration of 'Russian troops
on the Belbtck, and inquired after the Sardinian Con-
tingent, without info'rming his Government that he had
suspended fire ? The thing seems incredible, and yet
we have the strongest Ministerial assurances of its
