vending uustamped papers containing news of the war.
The deputation was introduced by Mr. Milner Gibson,
and included representatives of Ifolt's Army and Navy

ceeding be taken against any of the war papers till after
a conviction by a jury in the Court of Exchequer in the

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.---Almost all the
wounded from the late battle of Inkerman have
now arrived. Their number is very great. They
have all been taken iu at Scutari. It has, how-
ever, been done with difficulty. The two hospitals
now contain upwards of 3,000 mien. The eastern
side of the barrack hospital, which had partially
fallen into decay, has been repaired, and is now
full of wounded. No compla,ii its have reached us
of neglect, or over-crowdingin the transport of the
wounded from the Crimea.

The scene at Scutari is truly afflicting. So
many brave fellows laid low on a bed of suffering.
The Protestant sisters and fenia.'le nurses that have
come out with Miss NightiniTale from England
prove valuable attendants. They are unremitting in
their attentions, and display .a. zeal and activity
above all praise. It is unfortu'a ately to be foreseen
that the army of the Crimea will have to make still
more sacrifices before a definite result is obtained,
and another hospital will in all probability have to
be established. There is soma talk of the Russian
embassy being ',appropriated to• such a use. The
Russian consulate at Pera has bo en turned into the
French intendance militaire. Good buildings are
scarce, and the wants of woundled men pressing.
It is therefore to be hoped that in an emergency
over-scrupulousness will not deprive them of a
comfortable hospital. The wo 11/ ided Russians who
were at Scutari have been removed to the barracks
at Kuleii, on the Bosphorus.
Prince Napoleon, who arrived here last week in
bad health from the Crimea, has been honoured by
a visit from the Sultan. This is an unprecedented
occurrence, a Sultan never having been known
before to put his fort within an infidel dwelling.
He visited Prince Napoleon anoi the Duke of Cam-
bridge last summer ; but then they were his guests,
staying in his own palaces.
