ANOTHER MAP OF SEBASTOPOL.

That most enterprising geographer, Mr. Wyld,
of the Great Globe and Charing-cross, has just
published another map of the harbour and forts of
Sebastopol, with a large portion of the environs,
extending to the river Kartcha on the north, and
including the harbour of Balaklava on the south-
east, about ten miles distant from the great har-
bours of Sebastopol. It was on the heights of
Balaklava that Prince Menschikoff had assem-
bled his forces, in expectation that the Allies
would have selected that snug harbour for
disembarkation. But he was deceived. The
cliffs on that part of the coast, and to the west
where once stood the Temple of Diana, but is now
termed the Monastery of St. George, are bold and
high—some upwards of 900 feet. The character
of the country, and every particular of the har-
bour, forts, and batteries, are minutely de-
fined on the map, with the depth of water
marked in fathoms in the bay and along
the coast. It appears that five fathoms may
be had within about half a mile of the shore
all the way up to the mouth of the river Kartcha,
which would have given full scope to our largest
men of war for their broadsides of round and grape
shot. Altogether the map will prove highly useful
and interesting to those who delight (and who
does not ?) in reviewing the progress of our arms
in that now memorable and most remarkable por-
tion of the East. Mr. Wyld deserves great praise
for the accuracy and promptitude displayed on this
I as on every previous occasion.
