THE SIEGE OP SEBASTOPOL.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 19th ult., says :
"No one can without presumption pretend to foretell the
duration of the affair when it, has once commenced.
There are so many disturbing causes that calculation
is impossible. The enemy may give way at once,
or resist with a bravery totally unexpected. The walls
may crumble like those of Bomarsund, or bid de-
fiance to cannon like those of the Spanish fortresses.
From letters written by officers who have a wide ac-
quaintance with such subjects, it is clear that many
things have been found easy which were expected with
great apprehension, while difficulties have arisen from
causes wholly unforeseen. There is no reason to
believe that we are at the end. of such surprises.
But should nothing unexpected intervene it- is proba-
ble that a few days will see an end of the struggle ; at
any rate the fall of the fortress cannot be deferred
beyond the present month. A cannonade of forty-
eight hours is sufficient to effect breaches sufficient
to allow an assault, and the fire of five days would
destroy town, fortifications, dockyards, and ships.
The possibility of an escape of the Russians on the other
side of the lay seems to have been to some extent anti-
cipated and guarded against. The lines •f the English
troops extend to some distance rotund the bay, and the
long guns from one of the gun-boats have been placed in
a position where they can command the ferry ; so
that unless the enemy can manage to carry their troops
across at night there seems no likelihood of such a
calamity as that apprehended by the besieging com-
manders. However, the forts on the northern side
will no doubt hold out after thy.) capture or destruc-
tion of the main town, and it. appears that another
set of operations will be necessary for their reduc-
tion, so that the complete surrender of the place
and its dependencies can 'hardly be expected for
another fortnight. Those who calculated that the
campaign would last till the middle of November
will be found not to have been far wrong on the
whole. The retreat of the Russians into Sebastopol
after the battle of the Alma was an advantage totally
unexpected, and on which the Generals of the Allies did
not count. It was thought that, with such a force as
forms the army of the Crimea, and with such a fortress
as Sebastopol at stake, the enemy would have fought
an action at every available place ; and even the
sanguine and energetic man who commands the
French army looked forward to three pitched battles,
which would have delayed the arrival of the Allies under
the walls of Sebastopol for ten days or a fortnight. We
may think ourselves fortunate that matters are so much
advanced, and that the month of October, called for its
warmth and dryness the little summer, is likely to see
the most arduous part of the undertaking brought to
an end."

THE NUIIMINS FOR THE SICK AND

WOUNDED.

The Semaphore of Marseilles pays them the fol-
lowing compliment
" Miss Nightingale possesses all that could render ex-
istence happy and brilliant. Young, handsome, and
wealthy, she has chosen a life of abnegation and self-
denial, and, after having presided over one of those
institutions in London, of which the idea was
suggested by a true spirit of Christianity, her
feelings of charity still more excited by the
details of the sufferings of the sick and 'wounded
soldiers in the hospital of Scutari, she has chosen as
a new sphere of action a place where glory is pur-
chased by the severest pi ivatioos. Nothing could deter
her, and at this moment the Vectis is conveying her to
the Ea.-t. She and her companions will find there
their field of battle in the hospital vreads and ambulances,
where their sex so well qualifies them to fill a dangerous
though heroic position. Capt. Powell, the commander of
the Vectis, received those ladies with perfect courtesy,
the officers and crew vied with each other in their atten-
tion in conducting them to the places reserved for them
vita “11 the respect due to their sex and their affecting

mission.

TUE CA PE.-thir files of Cape papers to the end of
August, brought by her Majesty's ship Dee, report that
affairs in the colony are progressing quietly, but the
want of labour of every description is severely felt. The
colony could readily absorb thousands of labourers and
artificers. The copper mines were expected to attract
a good many ; and it was reported that convict labour
was to be sent ,out to form a new port at East London ;
and, it is said, if this was received by the colonists, the
British Government were willing to expend 30,0001. in
000/. in ate finances of the colony.
improving the port. There is said to be a deficiency of
