APPOINTMENTS.

Commander Stephen S. L. Crofton (1850) has been ap-
pointed to command the Rosamond, 6, paddle-wheel steam-
sloop in the Baltic, vice George Wodehouse, promoted to
the rank of captain ; and Charles T. Leckie (1851) to com-
mand the Ferret, 8, sloop, on the West Coast of Africa
station, vice Reginald J. J. G. M`Donald, promoted to
the rank of captain.

THE PELTER GUN-BOAT.
The reltor now steam light draught gun-boat was

visited on Thursday at Woolwich dockyard by Capain
Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr
Isaac Watts, Assistant-Surveyor, and on Friday was taken
out of the basin for the purpose of making her first trial
trip, with her guns, shot, and shells on board, and in
every respect ready for sea. She left Woolwich at 1 p.m.,
drawing 6 feet 6 inches forward and 7 feet 2 inches aft,
and proceeded in charge of Mr. Mugford, Master of the
Fisgard, who has orders to cruise with her in the Channel,
and ultimately take her to Portsmouth by Wednesday
next. Mr. John Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery Afloat,
proceeded in her, to ascertain and report upon her capa-
bilities for steam, the speed produced, •and the working of
her high-pressure engine of 60-horse power. During her
progress down the river tho engines worked smoothly, at
the rate of 220 revolutions per minute, and realising a
speed to the vessel, it was supposed by competent judges,
of 84 knots per hour. She was brought up at Greenhithe
to have her compasses adjusted, previous to proceeding on
her sea trip to Portsmouth.

THE RUSSIAN PRIZES.
Yesterday notico was given on the Royal Exchange that
the Russian ship Atlantic, of which Starkings was late the
master, as also the Esse (name of late master not certified),
would be condemned as lawful prizes to the Crown within
20 days, they being the property of the Queen's enemies.
Yesterday afternoon the crews of these vessels, principally
Dutchmen (24 in number), arrived in the port of London,
and were placed on board the Crocodile receiving-ship off
the Tower. The Russian owners of these ships appear to
have changed their crews, and provided them with simu-
lated papers, to elude the British cruisers in the Baltic.

BATTLE OF ALMA.
The following extracts are from a letter written by an
officer of the Royal Artillery :
" Balaklava, Sept. 28, 1851.
"It is one o'clock hero in the Crimea, and the post goes
out at two o'clock, I cainoi therefore write you a long
letter, but I know how great will bo your pleasure in re-
ceiving an account, however short, of our general's good
health and good spirits. I do assure you it requires a good
horse to keep up with him, for he is always ' to the front.'
In the confusion of the chase on the 25th, I missed him,
for leaving Lord Raglan's side at a full gallop, he was
after the rear-guard of the Russians, long before any of us
could get near him. It was a quarter of an hour before I
could overtake him, and yet rode, all rode, as hard as we
could, I assure you. He is now down on the beach, examin-
ing the siege train as it lands. We hope to have a house for
you in the Stada Realo (the interpreter is not at hand to put
it into Russ), Sebastopol, for your winter quarters. We are
closing in upon them; and so doubtful are they of their
foeblo tenure of their Crimean stronghold, that on dit our
rencontre on tho 25th was with a detachment of the army
marching to escort Prince Menschikoff's carriages, suite,
boxes, and self, out of this tottering possession of the 'i°Teat
Czar, his master. Conceive Prince Menschikoff's audacity
in daring to have among his stars and garters, and other
precious things, a fac-simile of our Royal Horse Artillery
uniform, the blue cloth being of a rather lighter shade.
The horrid crafty old fox ! No doubt he copied it from
our officers who attended the Ohnutz and Warsaw reviews
last September.
"If you aro disposed to think I have been remiss in my
duties as aide-do-camp, in not having written to you under
date Crimea, till this moment, permit me to quote the
occupations of the last few days, beginning on the 20th,
OUT previous work having become European in its publicity
long ago.
" 20th—Battle of the Alma ; busy all day with the
Russians.
21st—Letters to my family, to tell thorn I was alive and
well. Other occupations of a continued but miscellaneous
nature.

" 22d—Up to my oars in starting tumbrils and guns,
for the march.
"23d—March to the Katcha.
" 24th —March to the Balbeck.

" 25th—March to the Tchornay.
" Nth—March to l3alaklava.
" 27th—Reconnaissance at Sebastopol.
" 28th—Writiog to you, and in winos the sergeant
The letters for the post, sir.'

E. A."

The following is an extract from a private letter from
Sir Cohn Campbell to a friend, giving an account of the
passage of the Alma. It is scarcely necessary to say that
the regiments here spoken of are the 42d, 79th. and 93d :
" My men behaved nobly. I never saw troops marsh to bat-
tle with greater sangfroid and order than those three
Highland regiments. Their conduct was very much Ad-
mired by all who witnesed their behaviour."
DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL HOEY, 30TH REGI-
DIENT.—It is with feelings of the deepest regret, which we
are certain will be shared in by all our readers, that we
have to announce the death, from cholera, of the above-
named brave and distinguished officer. A native of our
city, he was well known to many of our readers, to whom
ho was endeared by the warmth and amiability of his cha-
racter, while his known talents as an officer, and distin-
guished gallantry in the field (recognised as it was in Lord
Raglan's despatch), rendered hill the idol of his regiment.
We insert the following extract of a letter from an officer
in the 30th, dated the 3d of October, in reference to his
decease, cut off as ho was in the flush of victory and in the
prime of manhood :—" The poor colonel is dead. Ho died
about three days ago of cholera, having been only 24 hours
ill. lam very sorry for him, for he was a gallant fellow.
We likewise lost an officer a few days before, a good young
fellow, named Johnston. His death was more sudden
than the poor colonel's, for he was only about six hours ill.
It is a melancholy thing to think that, after escaping the
murderous fire of the 20th, they should both be cut off by
the worst enemy we have to contend against. Poor Hoey !
ho was a fine follow."—Dublin .freeman.

SOLDIERS SICK AND' WOUNDED FUND,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Now that the appeal made through your columns
in alleviation of the wants and sufferings of our
countrymen in the East has been so liberally responded
to as to have supplied funds to the amount of 7,0001.

in seven days, some statement appears called for of the
proposed application of the sums received, as well as of

ho practical effects which have resulted from your power.

ful advocacy and this expression of public sympathy.
As the real efficiency of the gift lies in immediate action,
it is well to acquaint the public that it has appeared both
to the Tiencs and to me, acting as joint trustees of the
moneys received, that we should best discharge the duties
entailed upon us by at once, without delay, applying the re-
sources of the fund.

A gentleman, therefore, with groat qualifications to
fulfil a task of much delicacy and trust, has been commis-
sioned to proceed within 12 hours to Constantinople, and
there superintend, acting upon the advice of, and as much
as possible in conjunction with, some of our respected
merchants and other persons of influence on the spot, the
distribution of what public gratitude has furnished, not
for the purchase of absolute necessaries, which it is the
province of Government to supply, but, as the Duko of
Beaufort justly observes, of those comforts and even
luxuries which will be "of immense benefit to the
wounded." An accurate and detailed statement, audited
by Mr. Locke, Mr. Lyne Stephens, and me, will be fur-
nished of the disbursements which may have taken plaoe
for the public information.
As regards the practical effects which have resulted from
your powerful advocacy and this expression of public sym-
pathy, I would observe that the Secretary of State for War
acquainted me last evening that, although he trusted many
of the statements which had been current in this country
of the inefficiency of the medical staff in the East to
minister to the wants of our sick and wounded were ex-
aggerated, yet that the greatest benefits had flowed from
the inquiries which the statements in the Times of defi-
ciencies and sufferings, and the public response to them in
this country, had occasioned ; and that in consequence he
had written to the British Ambassador at Constantinople,
urging his immediate attention to the state of the hospitals
which appears from this to have been hitherto neglected,
and that he had placed, at his disposal an unlimited
credit from the public resources, to provide whatever
might bo needed to alleviate the acknowledged sufferings of
our men. This liberal application of the public money,
thus tardily placed at the Ambassador's disposal, will not
by any means interfere with the distribution, or, at all
events, the value of the resources of the special fund for
the sick and wounded, and, in order to maintain a har-
mony of operation, a letter of recommendation (in the
event of its being needed) has been sent to the British Am-
bassador in favour of the gentleman charged with onr Com-

mission.
I would, moreover, add that the official representative
of another of the numerous departments connected with
the army acquainted me that, although an ample supply
of medical stores aad surgical appliances had been for-
warded to the East, yet it did appear that there had been
culpable negligence in the further despatch of these from
Constantinople to appointed places, the consequences of
which might have been most serious, and that instructions
had been sent to try by court-martial the officials charged
with this gross remissness of duty.
In addition to those symptoms of increased activity on
' the part of the Government to provide for the wants of our
countrymen in the East, the Government 1
has sanctioned
the immediate despatch of the superintendent of the Ladies''
Hospital, with a staff. of female nurses, to act in the
espens©s consequent

lish military hospital at Constantinople, and thus supply
deficiencies which have been hitherto so grievouslyr felt.

two—is about as large a sum as can be well applied, for the
present at least, and certainly as large as we would will-
ingly undertake to administer. A letter from the first
subscriber and founder of the fund, in our columns this
day, states the value and results of the movement so
plainly and simply that we might have contented our-
selves with a reference to it. If, indeed, the only people
to bo considered were the sick and wounded, the Govern-
ment, and the subscribers, wo should let the matter take
its course, secure of sympathy, co-operation, and, if neces-
sary, indulgence. But the jealousy betrayed in some
quarters, and still worse feelings exhibited in others, in-

There has,
work that may chance to acquire publicity and favour
through our columns. Our correspondent at Constanti-
nople was under no kind of influence or suggestion when
he described the state of things on the arrival of the
wounded. Had he related from their own lips, and from
the evidence of his own senses, that they had received as
much attention from the day of the battle as they would
in a first-class hospital in this city, and that from first to
last we surpassed the French in the attendance of surgeons
and nurses, and the supply of every imaginable comfort,
undoubtedly we should have hailed the account with
delight, and should most probably have stepped in to com-
pare our own practical success with the ostentatious science
of our allies. Our correspondent told another tale, and we
expressed our deep concern that he should have to do so.
Hereupon a well-known baronet, the bearer of a
distinguished name, proposed a subscription to do what
evidently had not been done, and set the example on a
munificent scale. Others followed that example, and placed
their money at our disposal. We had no alternative but
to
accept the charge,—burdensome, anxious, and even in-
vidious as we were likely to find it. We have already
stated what we have done, and it is further described by
Sir Robert Peel.

other for so many stores and so many medical men to be
sent out, and not to be at hand when they are wanted; and
l 2,000 sick and 'wounded men to remain an they slid
from September 20 to September 26. The impale° thus
given to Government, and so readily obeyed by it, does not
come merely from ourselves. Our remarks might have
passed unheeded but for the public response. In this
country men talk very little, and aro rather ashamed to
avow their feelings. They supply the place of rhetoric by
subscriptions, aud, when they rush in crowds to subscribe
what we know they can with difficulty spare, we conclude
they aro very much moved or impressed. Government,
accordingly, has felt it impossible to resist the mute elo-
quence of seven thousand pounds, subscribed in five or six
days, to do what it ought to have done. It has sent out
fresh and more urgent instructions, unlimited credit, and
orders for an inquiry into the causes of the mismanage-
ment or neglect which has undoubtedly occurred. Govern-
ment does not feel so satisfied that all its officers have done
their duty as some of its supporters affect to be. This is
one good result of the movement. We expect some other
results of a very tangible and permanent character. It
is admitted that hitherto there has been no provision
for nurses, or for that kind of assistance that merely
requires a moderate amount of gentleness and strength.
The time of surgeons and assistant-surgeons is too valua-
ble to be employed in such ordinary services. But,
except in regular hospitals and asylums, nursing and the
attendance we have described must always partake of the
voluntary character. A corps of army nurses would be

The
labours
of this sort with a certain sanctity, 'definite rewards, and
ian here
oven a sacramental character and virtue. Thus, although
we will venture to say our sick are as well attended and
nursed in London as in Paris, still in the latter place, and
throughout France, there was found an existing organisa-
tion as ready for the use of the army as the regiments in
garrison. We feel little doubt that henceforth our armies
in the field will always ha re some equivalent assistance ;
and, when the soldier finds a good English nurse at his bed
side, two or three thousand miles from home, he will owe
it to the picture of the hospitals at Scutari given in our
columns last week, and the contrast between the state of
the French and the British soldiers.
If anybody denies that the presence of a gentleman com-
missioned to inquire and report, having his eyes about
him, and without any wrong bias, will be of use to the pa-
tients of an hospital receiving shiploads at a time and ter-
ribly underserved, we really have little more to say to him.
We can say, speaking from mere instinct, and apart from
all political considerations, that if we knew a young rela-
tive to be lying with a shattered liriab, or a ball through
his lungs, in a crowd of four thousand sufferers in a mili-
tary hospital on the shores of the Black Sea, wo should be
only too glad to hear that a gentleman was daily going the
round of the wards, to report on the attendance, the sup-
ply of medicines, and other particulars. But if volunteers
are to be admitted at all, and it is worth while to send a
visitor of this sort, there can be no doubt that it is better
still to arm him with money. In East, especially, no.
thing can be done without money. Without it a visitor
will be reduced at every difficulty to fold his arms, and
say " What could Ido ?" Wo have no doubt that with
money he will be able soon enough to raise a sufficient
body of native nurses and assistants, for in the nature of
things there must be good nurses wherever there is sick-
ness, childhood, and age, wherever people are born, marry,
sicken, grow old, and die. We want also a body of ex-
perienced nurses from England. Now, it is true that Go.
vernment has given the Ambassador at Constantinople
general orders and unlimited credit for the relief of the
• sick and wounded, but it is equally true that Any gentle-
. man of our own staff sent en this errand will ba mach
more efficacious, much more free to follow the dictates of
his own judgment, with money placed absolutely at his
own disposal, than if he had to report to the ambassador
or some other official and obtain his sanction to every
item of expenditure. It is quite clear that this is an
office for individual energy and responsibility. Govern-
ments and bureaucracies answer pretty well in quiet times,
when they have only bricks and mortar, paper and ink,
ships and guns, and other brute material to deal with, and
in times when men's minds are as quiet as that material;
but a Government would cut a very sorry figure with its
shelves, its red tape, and its signatures upon signatures, in
a shipwreck, a flood, or a conflagration. The present is a
• calamity of this class, and Government has been found
; much too stiff, formal, and unmanageable for it. It
proposed to assist it with the aid of volunteers, and Go-
verment very wisely hails this assistance. It does so be-
I cause it cares more for its sick and wounded soldiers than
for its own credit ; or rather, it thinks it best for that
credit to accept information, *ensued, and aid, than to re-
ject aud disdain them.

(Prom the Daily New.)
Eery incident in our conflict with B,ussia deepens the
impression, in the minds of thoughtful people, of the
blessedness of our political condition, in comparison with
that of the subjects of the Czar. We have something to
lament and complain of yet—and no reprobation can be
too severe for the imbecility or half-heartedness on the
part of ministers, which has drawn out the war to a de-
structiveness and protraction which night have been
saved by timely heartiness and energy. But looking be-
yond the failures of a particular sot of men to the system
of society in which we live, we see what it is to be Britons,
and foci it more deaply with every incident that turns up
in the first chapter of the War. The Queen's Proclama-
tion about the Patriotic Fund comes out in striking con-
trast to the CMOS requisitions on his subjects for what our
old Kings, before Parliamentary days, used to call " bene-
volences." The Czar goes into a war for the indulgence of
his own ambition, and, through a long season of forbear-
ance from his antagonists, pampers his pride till ho can no
longer be endured. War ensues; and he takes from his
nobles their market on the one hand, and their income on

more in corn and in money; and ordains " free-will offer.
ings." All this is for himself. His soldiers are a property;
not mon and citizens, like ours ; but chattels m,hich it costs
their owner much money to keep in repair or replace.
Thus, the Patriotic Fund of St. Petersburg and Moscow is
a forced levy from contributors who are reported to abhor
the war, and know and care nothing about the soldiers,
except such serfs as they may have been compelled to send
to the army.

Our Sovereign will never touch a shilling of our Pas
triotic Fund. She does not want the money for objects of
her own. She sanctions the national war, as she led out
the fleet to sea ; but it is for the sake of everybody rather
than herself. In the same way she, by this Proclamation,
leads the national sympathies in a case in which self ininte-
rest is out of the question. The case is not one of saving
the Government some of its duty, like that ofsu supporting

vants of the State ; nor like that of

The consequence is that a multitude of widows and
