LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 28.
FLAG OF TRUE.
After the despatch of my letter to-day, I learnt that
Captain Fellowes, aide-de-camp, had been sent in with
a flag of truce to the Russian camp on the Chernayn, to
ascertain the particulars of our loss and to communicate
with our wounded and captive officers, if the Russians
would allow hint to do so. Somewhat injudiciously,
perhaps, he was also authorised to demand permission
that we might bury the dead who might have been left
in front of the Russian lines. It was imagined that
the enemy had not performed this duty, as many
bodies could be seen lying unburied on the field, and
it is not certain that those who fancied they saw those
bodies were not quite right. Captain Fellowes went
in, attended by a trumpeter, with a flag of truce, and
Mr. Manassion, an Armenian, attached as interpreter
to the head-quarters staff. The trumpeter blew a blast
from time to time as he rode on, and when the little
party approached the lines of the Russians, and passed
through the fatal field where so many of our poor fel-
lows had been mowed down by the deadly artillery of
the enemy, two Russian officers, accompanied by two
Cossack Lancers, rode forward to meet them. The
Russians, both of whom spoke French, asked what the
object of the flag of truce was I They were told that
Lord Raglan had sent in to ascertain what officers of our
cavalry were alive in the hands of the Russians, and to
receive any letters they might be allowed to forward to
their countrymen. One of the Russian officers said,
" You will be good enough to turn round, for you can-
not approach our camp so near. This is au affair for
the General to deal with, and I shall communicate with
bias." He role away, and the remaining Russian and his
two Coscaelts, having seen that the English officer and his
followers turned round so as to have their backs to the
vamp, begged of them to advance still further, so as to
recede from the Russian lines, and then accompanied
them slowly back with his Cossacks, watching carefully
that none of the party moved his head over his
shoulder.
They saw as they rode back that some of the dead
horses had large pieces cut out of thevi to furnish food
for the Cossacks. Indeed tlat is not wonderful, as the
Zouaves, in sonic instances, have cut choice steaks of
horseflesh from the bodies of the fatter quadrupeds
killed in action, and they pronounce them to be excel-
lent.

In a few moments an elderly officer, accompanied
by a s!rall staff, and attended -by the Thiseiart who
had ridden to iieck him, rode towards their dank,
and, in a gruff, harsh voice, exclaimed "Je suis ge-
neral en chef ici ; rine vouiez vouz e.ea i-h4i Messieurs
It is supposed that he announced his position in order
to prevent Captain Fellowes asking his name, or demand-
ing inforwtion Ati to the title of tie pejo/1171w ad.

PROGRESS OF Tllll SIEGE.

The siege went on today as it has gone on for the
last two or three days. The Russians in our rear are
fortifying their position. Thus it appears that we are
rapidly becoming " invested" by the Russians. In fact,
they are besieging us just as much as we are besieging
them. They have the north and the north-east side of
Sebastopol open to them, as we the sea from Balaklava
and Cherson open to us. They have put heavy guns on
the redoubts and on the hills over their cavalry lines ;
we in turn are making a number of " trous-dellottp"
and pitfalls .all along the approaches to Balaklava,
so as to prevent any rapid dash of their cavalry.
Trous-de-loup are merely deep holes: in which men can
lie and scramble in and out, but which are too broad
and deep for a mounted man to cross. Captain Powell,
of the Vesuvius, and his blue-jackets and Marines are
busy throwing up a redoubt on the right-hand side of
the road. They are all under canvass. The Turks, the
French, and the marines of our fleet are indefatigable in
casting up every kind of obstructive earthwork in front
of the town.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Aberdeen clipper Ballarat, Captain Jones,
which left Port Philip on the 23d of August, was
off Plymouth last night, and landed a mail, con-
sisting of 19 cases and eight bags, containing above
25,000 and under 40,000 letters.
The Ballarat has 50,000 ounces of gold and
20,000 sovereigns.
She has half a cargo of wool, tallow, transhipped
pepper.
1 Six passengers, out of 30, lauded hero.

The Ballarat would hae sailed several days
earlier, but was detained to bring replies to the
correspondence conveyed by the screw steamer
Great Britain, which arrived on the 17th of August,
and wag placed under quarantine, having the small-
pox on board, from which some of the passengers
have died.

Passengers by the Ballarat report the state of
affairs at Port Philip as very unfavourable. Not
much shipping in harbour, but plenty of officers
and men. Seamen's wages to Loudon, 30/. ; to
Calcutta, 201. ; to Callao, 61. per month ; coasting,
5/. to 71. Labourers' wages, Os. per day.
The stores on shore were overstocked, and many
largo houses were failing.

THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Our loss was 12 killed, and 71, including five officers,
wounded, all of the Second Division. We took 100 pri-
soners ; 112 bodies were buried by us, and we know of
many more lying beyond our position, so far away that
the burying parties would be under the fire of the guns
of Sebastopol. The usual proportion of men wounded
to the killed is about 5 to 1, which will make their loss
upwards of GOO ; of course, they carried a great quantity
of both back with them to the fortress.
THE EFFECTS OF THII MINIE IITLE.

It is remarkable that the wounded Russians brought
in had nearly all received their wounds from the Mime
rifles. Our conical balls cause frightful wounds ; when-
ever they touch a limb they smash the bone.
THE DRESS OF THE RUSSIAN OFFICERS.

Officers and men-`sere dressed alike, in long grey
greatcoats and high cloth caps. They are very difficult
to see in the thick brushwood which growl all about ;
indeed, singly, they are as invisible as a rabbit in dried
fern. I examined many of the dead ; some were lying
in pools of blood, their faces looking like wax. Every
man had a large piece of bread with him—black, sour,
and half•baked ; one had a Russian Prayer-book, which I
have appropriated as a memento. Their firelocks are
of a very inferior sort ; thry are dated 1834, and have
been converted from flint to percussion.

SIR E. LIONS.
I hear that after the melancholy affair of the 25th i.
was in contemplation to abandon the place, but Sir E.
Lyons would not hear of it, and
ack declared that lie
than it
should be given up. In his line ho is the life and soul
of the expedition. The Agamemnonis now off Bala-
klava, and the Sauspareil is moored in the harbour, arid
smaller steamers are inconstant communication between
it and the fleet. All the transports which formerly
crowded the little harbour have been cleared out, and are
now anchored outside.
H
A ASTY MEAT,.
I must now relate a little incident which occurred on
the 26th, and which I forgot to mention in its proper
place. When the Russians made their sortie a number

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Government has addressed the
following notice to the Stettin board of mer-
chants :
" In order to assist in the existing embarrassment
regarding the transport of building materials and
other goods ready for shipment at Stettin to
Memel, we hereby, and in virtue of the Royal Ca-
binet order of the 20th Jun; 1822, exceptionally and
for the time being only, until the 15th April, 1855,
allow that the coasting trade from the said har-
bour (Stettin), by Swinemunde to Memel, shall not only
be free for inland and union (Zollverein) vessels, but for
those of foreign navigators."
There being a dearth of shipping at Stettin,
this permission will facilitate, so long as naviga-
tion remains open, the transport to Memel of other
goods, such as sugars, drugs, and colonial produce,
much required by the Russian market. These
goods, among others Prussian home-made sugars,
will find a more speedy and cheaper mode of con-
veyance after delivery by rail at Stettin, than by
transport to Konigsberg or to Warsaw. The mea-
sure will also be advantageous to Hamburgh
houses, and Danish and Swedish skippers, but can
little benefit English or French. Nor is that its
object.

at once remove the imputations which had been cast
upon his character, instead of appearing by his profes-
sional adviser.
Mr. SNELL begged to say, without reference to the
state of the poll, which he contended ought to be de-
clared in his favour in a regular and proper manner, shy.
that he would leave the other matter to the decision of
any gentleman of high standing not connected with
the company whose name might be agreed upon by the
meeting.
Mr. TITS did not think the meeting had anything to
do with that.
Mr. MAYNARD entertained quite a different opinion.
When a gentleman was ;challenged to justify his
conduct offered to do so, it was not fair to say the meet-
ing had nothing to do with the matter.
Mr. HALL suggested that the Marquis of Chandos
should be applied to to determine the matter. (Hear.)
Mr. SNELL said that he was quite ready to submit to
the decision of the chairman of the London and North
Western Company. (Hear.)
Mr. ROWE said the point would then arise, What was
the question to be submitted to the noble marquis ?

Mr. MAYNARD said the question to be subinitted to
the Marquis of Chandos would be, that which Mr. Snell
refused to submit to the assessors. Mr. Snell could not
decide what the question would be. If there was any
charge against Mr. Snell affecting his personal character,
he was willing to let the noble marquis decide whether
it was made out or not.
Mr. MANGLES understood the question for considera-
tion was the conduct of Mr. Snell with regard to certain
proxies, and whether it was such as to entitle him to
take his seat at the hoard.
Mr. MAYNARD believed the question to be this—
whether, in connection with the recent election, Mr.
Snell had done anything affecting his personal character.
If the Marquis of Chandos should undertake the re-
ference, and should decide that Mr. Snell had not done
anything affecting his personal character, of course the
declaration would be in his favour. If the declaration
should be otherwise, Mr. Snell would undertake to with-
draw, whether elected or not elected.
A PROPRIETOR remarked that if Mr. Snell should
withdraw, he supposed Mr. Willcox would be elected.
Mr. MAYNARD said that was a question with which
he should not presume to deal. What he understood
vas that, if the decision should ba against Mr. Snell, he
would withdraw. (Hear,. hear.)
It was eventually arranged that an application should
be made to the Marquis of Chandos, but no formal re-
solution was adopted, and the meeting then adjourned
to that day four weeks.

THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

Our readers will find in another part of our paper, a
report of the proceedings at the great meeting of the
Proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, held at the Lon.
don Tavern yesterday. It will will be observed, that
there were from 700 to 800 persons present, being by
far the largest meeting of the proprietors ever held
since the establishment of the paper, upwards of sixty
years ago. We do not point, in terms, of exultation,
to the result of the division, which affirmed, by a
majority of 517 to 212, that no changes have takes
place in the Committee of Management or in the
Editorial department of this journal, and that the
paper will continue to be conducted on the same
political and general principles as before,--though it
may well be supposed how great is the gratification
with which we regard that result. Never, we ventureute

I have received your letter, in which you communicate to
me that your state of health does not permit your return
to the circle of active duty filled by you before you
travelled abroad. My knowledge of your sentiments
convinces me that the request you have made has
in the present state of affairs cost you as much
pain to make as it does me to he compelled to de-
prive myself of your valuable services. I herewith re-
lease you from the post of commander-in-chief of the
detached Caucasian corps, from your viceroyship of
Caucasia and your governor-generalship of New Russia
and Bessarabia. I hope your residence in a salubrious
climate will invigorate you and give you strength to
place your enlarged experience and zealous services
again at the disposal of your Emperor and Russia.
With this wish I grant you leave to spend abroad the
time requisite for the restoration of your health, and
maintain you in the rank of my A.D.C. General and as
a member of the Imperial Council. Most cordially do I
hope that the deeds of the gallant Caucasi%n army may
continue to please you, their pattern in the career of
arms, and once more do I return you my sincere thanks
for the services of 50 years rendered by you to the
throne and our country. Unchangeably I remain well
affected towards you. " NICHOLAS.
" Gatshina, Oct. 31, 1854."

General Read has been appointed interim com-
mander-in-chief in the Caucasus, and General
Anuenkoff of New Russia and Bessarabia. In
consequence of the enormous wear and tear of offi-
cers in the Russian army, the Minister of War has
taken into consideration a plan for facilitating the
admission of the poorer nobility. Some idea of
the general wear and tear may be formed from the
fact that in times of peace upwards of 2,300 vacan-
cies have to be filled up from the military schools
by the promotion of cadets and non-commissioned
officers. The last campaigns on the Danube and
Crimea have cost the Russian service about twenty-
two generals killed and wounded.

CUPIDITY OF THE COSSACKS.

There is too much reason to believe that the gay jackets
and rich trappings of our Light horsemen—privates and
officers—excited the cupidity of the Cossacks, who did
not scruple to kill the wounded as they lay on the ground
for the sake of their uniforms. They knew that they
would not be allowed to take the clothes of the men who
were alive, and so, more Tartarico, they made short work
of it. "Do you see that," exclaimed a Russian officer to
one of ours, pointing, as he did so, to the gold cord of a
shako ? " Yes." " Well, I can tell you one of our Cos-
sacks would ride 100 miles to get hold of such a pretty-
looking thing." How much easier would be the task of
lancing the men who lay on the ground close at hand to
them l

THE RIIIISIAN CAVALRY.

The Russian cavalry had three rations of spirits served
out to each man ere they made the attempt at a charge
which met with such signal chastisement at the hands
of the Heavy Brigade. They were also blessed by a
priest. Our swords, however, were not blunted, nor
our speed stayed in the charge, by the holy man. To-
night there is the usual thud ! thud ! thud ! from the
Russian batteries at 9 o'clock. They are evidently
getting frightened at our "drawing in" upon them ;
but cannon shot cannot break the deadly coil of our folds
of riflemen.

20th, 26th, aed 28th Regiments embarked from Cowes
this morning, amounting to about 250 rank and tie.
Recruits are arriving daily, and sometimes two or three
times a day, in parties of 12, 20, or 30, and proceed OR
to Parkhurst Barracks. They appear all young men,
very few of them being above 20 years of age.
RINGING THE CEANGES.—SeveraI of our grocers have
been taken in this week by some travelling cheese dealers.
Some of them (rather keen hands, too) have bought large
quantities of what they took for very superior cheeses,
but which have proved to be only skin.
Died, on the 13th inst., Frederick Rowten, Esq., of
London, one of the directors of the National Freehold
Land Society. His death will be a serious loss to tlte
society, as he was a gentleman of great energy, 04111$y,
and perseverance.

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 17.

The business at our market was unimportant, and a thin
attendance of buyers. Holders of foreign wheat and flour
firm for Tuesday's prices. The English wheat is affected
by tho damp weather, and difficult to sell, and the new
flour is not at allin favour with our bakers. Prices yielded
p. trifle. Oats and' oatmeal easier in price. Indilin corn
in•steady demand at full prices. Egyptian beans is per qr•._
dearer.

RUSSIAN PRECAUTIONS IN SEBASTOPOL.

With our glasses we can see that the doors and
window-frames of most of the houses have been re-
moved ; and it is nut improbable that the wooden
floor.; and other parts of the buildings which could have
been set on fire have been taken away also. The
silence of the Russians to-day is accounted for by the
fact that they are throwing up new works in the town.
There is a rumour to-day that Osten-Sacken has arrived,
and that the army of Gortschakoff received considerable
reinforcements. They sung Te Dcunt on the night of
the 25th " for their victory," and the troops were so
excited that they demanded to be led against us the fol-
lowing morning. The 2d Division 80011 satisfied them
in full.

VIE TURKISH CONTINGENT.
Nov. 2.—The Turkish contingent is now broken up
and distributed throughout the whole camp, both Eng-
lish and French, and they have since been placed to
do what they are most fitted for, viz., digging in the
trenches, which gives relief to our own men, who are
greatly over-worked. John Tark is by no means an in-
dustrious labourer in the trenches ; he digs a her
minutes, gives a grunt, and. then sits down. A very
vehement and zealous commanding officer of a distin-
guished Fusilier corps was the other night in the trenches
when the Turks were digging ; and, seeing one rather
more idle than the rest, gesticulated violently at him,
and induced him to work a little. Johnny, however,
soon gave in, and on the pantomimic action being re-
peated very politely handed his spade to the colonel.

RUSSIA.

Sr. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7.—According to an order of
the day, issued on the 4th inst. (which we published a
day or two ago), Prince Woronzoff, at his own request,
has been released from his post as Commander-in-Chief
of the detached corps in the Caucasus, as Viceroy
and
of
Caucasia, and as Governor-General of New Russia a
Bessarabia, but he retains the rank of au A.D.C.
General, and remains a member of the Council of State.
The rescript addressed by the Emperor on this occasion
to the Prince reads thus :--

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 15.--Every attempt has been made
here by the Russian party to set down the actions of
the sth, first as mere sorties, and then as complete
successes. Had it not been for General Canroberys
bulletin having arrived almost simultaneously with
the Russian despatch from St. Petersburg, and before
Baron Werther's despatch to Baron von Manteuffe],
the belief in the perfect success of Prince Men-
schikoff's attacks would have been general and un-
contradicted. All that is now to be hoped for is,
that both the French and English Governments
are alive to the importance of establishing commu-
nications which will deprive the Russian Govern-
ment of the advantage which it adroitly established
and maintained until Monday last. The public
press there has now its eyes opened, and, with the
exception of the solitary organ of the Russian party,
fully appreciates and draws correct conclusions
even from the Russian reports themselves. The
Sinner of this morning, for instance, has the fol-
lowing
"According to all appearances the long-announced
attack of the Russians, with their relieving army, upon
the allied position, took place on the sth. The reliev-
ing army was composed of the whole and complete corps
of General Dannenberg, consisting of the divisions of
Liprandi, Pauloff (query Popoff), and Soimonoff (10th,
11th, and 12th). The attack was directed against the
plateau occupied by the Allies, and the presence of the
Grand Dukes at the attack (commanded in person by
Menechikoff) leads us to the conclusion that it was un-
dertaken with the utmost disposable force. If this at-
tack was repulsed with such vigour as is stated in the
French despatch, even supposing the Russian loss to be
exaggerated, it furnishes the best proofs of the un-
broken steadiness of the Allies,and leads to the expecta-
tion that they will gain time for the arrival of their
reinforcements. As regards the assault made on the
position held by the French at the cemetery at the west
side of the town, and its failure, that was sufficiently
explained yesterday."

ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE AT MALTA.

Intelligence has reached Southampton that the steamer
Prince, which took out a regiment of British soldiers to
the Crimea, and the voltaic battery which is to be used
in blowing up the'sunken Russian ships at the entrance
of Sebastopol harbour, had arrived safely at Malta.
SALE OF A RUSSIAN. PRIZE.

Yesterday Mr. Lachlans, the Admiralty broker, at-
tended at Lloyd's to subiliff the Ri iaian prize Dwina to
public competition. The ressel was _captured by. her
Majesty's ship Miranda, Capt. Lyons,_off Lapland, .dur-
ing the prosecution of the White Sea blockade, on. the
29th of August labt. Her cargo was salt fish, which
merely produced a, nominal, price. The first offer for
the Dwina, described as a schoonec, of 100 tons burden,
was 1501. A. spirited competition hereupon ensued, which
ended in .the vessel being. sold for 410/.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Nov. 13.
The fleet remains in a complete state of inactivity
awaiting orders for its departure for England.
Every ship is complete in provisions, stores, and
necessaries up to the termination of the present
year. Every possible opportunity is afforded to the
officers of visiting the various towns of Germany
which possess objects of interest. Very many have
gone to Hamburg, and some to Berlin, while
others were content to spend the leave allowed
them in Kiel. _ _

The seamen of the fleet are not allowed to go on
shore, except on duty, owing to the very strict police
regulations existing in this port, which have been
enforced in consequence of the very great irregu-
larities committed by a few to whom the indul-
gence was granted on the arrival of the ships, re-
sulting in the death of one or two men, who defied
the authority vested in the preservers of the pub-
lic peace.
At 8 a.m. the thermometer in the open air indi-
cated a temperature of 25 deg. Fahrenheit, at noon
the mercury had risen to 30 deg., towards evening
it gradually fell, and at midnight it was 8 deg.
below the freezing point. The whole face of the
country is covered with snow to a small extent,
and as the barometer, which has been very low for
several days, has risen considerably, it may be
conjectured that the frost which has set in will
continue and increase in intensity.

WAKEFIELD—Nov. 17.

The arrival of grain this week is moderate. New wheat

wheat is held at last week's prices. Barley slow sale at
barely last week's rates. Beans steady. In oats and shell-
ing no material change.

AUSTRIA.

VIKNNA, Nov. 14.—Yesterday at noon, Prince
Gortschakoff paid a long visit to Count Buol at the
Austrian Foreign-office, to whom he communicated
a note from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. What
the contents of this note were has naturally not yet
transpired. Still there are strong grounds for be-
lieving that this Russian communication had for its
object the renewal of direct negotiations with the
Vienna Cabinet in respect of the four points of
guarantee, conformably with the promises which it
appears the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has recently
made to Prussia.
The Presse had yesterday a telegraphic despatch
from its well-informed Berlin correspondent, of
which the following is a translation :—" In circles
which must be regarded as the best informed it is
said that between Vienna and Berlin, arrangements
referring on the one hand to the extent of the de-
mands to be made upon Russia, and on the other
to the conditions of the assistance which Prussia
is to be bound to give to Austria, are in a fair way
of settlement, and will be forthwith embodied in
an obligatory exchange of notes." The correspon-
dent in question now gives us some further infor-
mation hereon, in his letter of the 11th, contained
in the Presse of to-day. The Russian Cabinet has
given the Cabinet of Berlin a formal notice that it
adopts the four guarantee points as a basis for
further direct negotiations with Austria, as pro-
posed in the last Prussian despatch.
Our local press and the public here are much
divided in their opinions of the results of the ter-
rible conflict that took place between the besiegers
and the besieged at Sebastopol on the sth instant.
It appears certain that the Grand Dukes Michael
and Nicholas were present, that the Russian Ge-
neral Soimonoff was killed, and that General
Liprandi was severely wounded at the battle of the
sth inst.

London, England, 1854-11-18

I have received your letter, in which you communicate to
me that your state of health does not permit your return
to the circle of active duty filled by you before you
travelled abroad. My knowledge of your sentiments
convinces me that the request you have made has
in the present state of affairs cost you as much
pain to make as it does me to be compelled to de-
prive myself of your valuable services. I herewith re-
lease you from the post of commander-in-chief of the
detached Caucasian corps, from your viceroyship of
Caucasia and your governor-generalship of New Russia
and Bessarabia. I hope your residence in a salubrious
climate will invigorate you and give you strength to
, place your enlarged experience and zealous services
again at the disposal of your Emperor and Russia.
With this wish I grant you leave to spend abroad the
time requisite for the restoration of your health, and
' maintain you in the rank of my A.D.C. General and as
a member of the Imperial Council. Most cordially do I
hope that the deeds of the gallant Caucasian army may
continue to please you, their pattern in the career of
arms, and once more do I return you my sincere thanks
for the services of 50 years rendered by you to the
throne and our country. Unchangeably I remain well
affected towards you. " NICHOLAS.
" Gatshina, Oct. 31, 1854."

General Read has been appointed interim com-
mander-in-chief in the Caucasus, and General
Anuenkoff of New Russia and Bessarabia. In
consequenee of the enormous wear and tear of offi-
cers in the Russian army, the Minister of War has
taken into consideration a plan for facilitating the
admission of the poorer nobility. Some idea of
the general wear and tear may be formed from the
fact that in times of peace upwards of 2,300 vacan-
cies have to be filled up from the military schools
by the promotion of cadets and non-commissioned
officers. The last campaigns on the Danube and
Crimea have cost the Russian service about twenty-
two generals killed and wounded.

TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The 'Robert Lime, No. 134, screw steam-transport
ship, having taken on board 13 cylinders, each filled
with I,ooolb of powder, at Woolwich, was taken in tow
yesterday by the Widgeon steam-vessel to Greenkithe,
where she will have her compasses adjusted to-day, and
then proceed to Portsmouth, to embark troops for the
Crimea. The Robert Lowe also takes a large supply
of the munitions of war to be landed at Balaklava.
The Holyrood, No. 77, screw steam-transport, has
arrived at Woolwich, to take on board a supply of shot,
shell, etc. for the seat of war in the East.

THE SINBAD.
The Sinbad, mortar vessel, is now in an advanced
state in the east dock at Woolwich. The mortar bed in
the bottom of the vessel has been completed, and is very
strong, and the planks, or entire base timber, being 14
inches thick, and into which is inserted a centre pivot of
solid iron six inches in diameter, and twelve other pivots
each two inches in diameter. Four of these pivots are
near to the centre pivot, and the other eight pivots are
placed one on each of the eight sides of the bed, which
is in the form of an octagon. The whole of the pivots
are strongly secured in brass. The upper bed on which
the mortar, 13 inches in diameter of bore, is intended to
rest is 11 inches in thickness, and is fitted underneath
with corresponding strong brass for receiving the pivots
fixed to the lower bed, and between the brass below and
the brass above India•rubber bedding three inches in
thickness has been placed round each pivot to act as an
elastic body, and yield in some degree to the recoil or
concussion when the mortar is fired.
