Numerous valuable presents of books, maps, charts,
&c., were announced, as also the presentation of the por-
trait of another Past-President, Mr. Joshua Field ;
special allusion was made to the bequest of the late
Mr. B. L. Vulliamy, Assoc. Inst. C.E., of a large
and very valuable collection of works on horology,
second only to the collection in the library of the
Clockmakers' Company. The thanks of the meeting
were unanimously given, with a vote of condolence
to the family, on the loss they, in common with all his
friends, had sustained, in the decease of Mr. Vulliamy.
The past year had witnessed extraordinary mortality
among the members ; the decease of two honorary
members, nine members, and nine associates being record-
ed. Among them were the first honorary secretary of
the institution—a distinguished Prussian Minister—
some very old and well-known members and associates
—as also some younger men who promised to become
ornaments to the profession—and an associate member
of Council (Mr. C. Creech, M.P.), well-known and es-
teemed by all the institution, as one of those ener-
getic, enterprising men, who gave vitality to every spe-
culation in which they engaged, and who, by the up-
rightness of their transactions, and the justness of their
views, upheld, worthily, she credit of the British capi-
talist and manufacturer.
The great mortality in the Royal and other societies
was also noticed, and allusion was made to the intelli-
genCe, brought by Dr. Rae, of the melancholy fate of
Sir John Franklin and Ys devoted companions, martyrs
to the cause of science, and the meeting was called upon
to unite with the eauncil in the expression of sorrow for
the sad termination of the career of a man who was
equally distinguished by his devotion to his duty as an
officer, his enthusiasm in tho prosecution of scientific
research, and his general public and private worth ;
and as a parallel case exhibiting the devotion and the
noble sense of duty of the officers of the British Army,
the case was cited of that " noble old man," the late Co-
lonel Moore, who on the event of the burning of the
vessel bearing towards the Crimea part of the 6th Dra-
goon Guards, "with none of the excite-rent of action, or
of the glory and enthusiasm of the battle-field to
animate him, faced, in cold blood, the most terrible
death that man could meet, and refused to leave the
burning ship, while any of his men were alive upon it."
The decease announced were Messrs. Aikin (the first
Honorary Secretary) and Peter Christopher Wilhelm
Beuth, Honorary Members ; Edmund Scott Barber,
George 'Watson Buck, John Donkin, Alexander Easton,
Henry Fowler, Daniel Pinkney Hewett, William Rad-
ford, William Stuart, and James Trabshaw, Members ;
John Armstrong, Charles Geach, M.P., Nathan Gough,
Benjamin Louis Vulliamy, Alderman William Thomp-
son, M.P., Colonel John Neave Wells, R.E., Lieut.-
Colonel John Augustus Lloyd, Captain Joshua Win.
Codrington, R.E., and Lieutenant William Chapman,
R.E., Associates.
Memoirs of the deceased members of all classes were
ordered to be printed as an appendix to the Annual
Report.
The resignations of fourteen members and associates
were announced.

tine Associates

minutes of proceedings, had been issued, and the editing
and printing of all the remainder would proceed with
all despatch.

man, and Sir J. Paxton, associates.
The meeting was then adjourned until Tuesday, Jan.
oth, 1855, when it was announced that the ballot for
members would take place, and the discussion would be
resumed on Mr. P. W. Barlow's paper, "On some
peculiar features of the Water-bearing Strata of the
London Basin,"

"My dear Mother,—l thought by this time to have
addressed my letters from Sebastopol, but the Russians
still hold out, and I fancy the Commander of the Forces
will not fire upon the town until ho has tried every plan,
as the Russian commander refused to send the women
and children out, although Lord Raglan offered to send
them under escort to the interior of the country. tip to
the present time the Allies have confined their fire to the
forts, shipping, and Government buildings, which they
have nearly destroyed. The loss on our side has been
very little—about 30 killed and 50 wounded. This is
the 17th *lay of the bombardment. Their loss must have
been fearful, as we have near 200 guns firing continually,
and the noise is tremendous. Our armies have bad several
engagements lately. On the 25th ult. the Russian
army attacked our rear, but were repulsed with loss ;
we also suffered severely in cavalry-483 men and
horses. On the 27th an army, estimated at 12,000, tried
to leave Sebastopol at night. Our pickets discovered
them, but let them get close under our guns, and then
opened fire. It is calculated they lost in thirty minutes
killed and wounded, 3,000 men. There were 753 on
one little hill, all dead, close to our division. Is it not
dreadful that such scenes should take place through the
ambition of one man ? But the day of retribution will
surely come to him. His soldiers are slaves, and in
many instances chained to the guns to make them fight.
A great many have given themselves up to our men.
They jump from the batteries at night, and run into our
lines. The nights are getting very cold, but we (the
staff) manage to make ourselves comfortable. We
have a tent, and have dug a deep trench round,
and made a fire-place with chimney and every-
thing complete. I am very successful at candle-rnakin, :
cut up an old stocking and dip it in the fat from our
meat—capital candles, but dO not burn very steady,
in consequence of the salt. Our clothing is in rags.
I am just about trying my hand at trousers making from
an old blanket, but I suppose we shall get some clothing
soon. Some speculating people Lave arrived with provi-
sions, but the prices are or will be to English people fabu-
lous., Butter 55., bad cheese 45., and soap 2s. per pound, a
flannel shirt 11. 10s. and 21., worsted socks Ss. per pair ;
boots, 41. 4s. ; but there is one thing in our favour—we
can wear what we like ; some make shirts from biscuit
bags. lam pretty well off for under-clothing. I feel
certain that the place must soon fall. I believe our
regiment is to return to England with the first ; I shall
be very glad. Thank God my health continues very
good ; we have very little sickness in camp at present
—a few suffering from fever brought on by exposure.
Our regiment has suffered fearfully. We came from
England 950 rank and file ; we have now only 560
effective men l 390 dead or sent away unfit for service,
or ill in camp. a • • •

Yesterday we got no rations, and the men are suffer-
ing very much indeed from the continual exposure to
the canstant wet and cold that we have had for the last
week ; their feet are never dry, some of them have Lo
soles to their shoes and no socks, others no shirts ; and
I would defy any one who saw the regiments leave
England to recognise the careworn, half-starved skeletons
of which they now consist. We are encamped on a
clayey piece of ground, which is now mud up to the
knees • the tents are as wet within as on the outside,
and there is, what is worse than anything else, a scarcity
of wood. We have been told that we may hut our-
selves, but how to do so without wood I know not.
Our engineers and artillery are doing nothing. The French
are pushing forward their approaches to within 200 yards
of the mud fort ; but the storm of shot and shell is
a:r!reat that it is a wonder how they exist at all. They
trenches last night, and marched down iu silence in a
storm of wind and rain.

rain much, but the wind is now blowing north-west, and

than I was, but still troubled with dial.: hose.
Since writing this, I have buried three unfortunate
men who died last night of cholera, and there are te 0
more yet unburied, but I am glad to say the doctors re-
port it decreasing, though, as long as the men are so often
exposed to the rain and cold in the trenches, without a

dry place or clothes to get into when they return, it will
be impossible to extinguish it. There are four doctors in
the regiment, but the hospital is very badly supplied. The
tent is all ragged, and the men are forced to lie on the
cold ground without any bedding. Medicines are to be

" I am almost ashamed of my letters, but I have such
very bad toc Is. This paper I obtained yesterday from
the French camp ; they are much better situated in
every respect than ourselves. I was invited to dine
with the Chasseurs yesterday, but was unable to leave,
as we are not allowed away from camp after dark.
You would, I think, admire my appearance when I
take a walk with a largmy e sword by side and a brace
of horse pistols in my belt. I have no duty whatever
to perform, and scarcely know how to spend nay time,
as we are not allowed to bring our accounts into the field.
