We have to record the death of Major G. Dawson,

Brighton-place, Portobello, on the 11th inst., at the
advanced age of 74. The deceased officer entered
the army the 7th of May, 1811, and became Lieut.
the 7th of January, 1813. He served in the Can-
dian rebellion in Ceylon in 1819, was made Capt.
the 20th of March, 182-8, and. Brevet-Major the

and to port 12 deg. Any other vessel would, how-
ever, have also rolled under similar circumstances,
but there is little. doubt that the Warrior will roll
in _a seaway; and it,is also equally certain that .sne
"will.not prove the dead,log:on,tho watei.sothe have
feared, but that,she will possess',. So far as may be
judged from her action yesterday, very great buoy-
ancy in rising foo sea.. As the ship drew in with
the land on her refurn. to 'her anchorage, the log
was again hove, and, now going before the vc,ind
and sea, she was found to be making a good 13
knots. Banbridge light-v-2.ssel was soon afterwards
passed, and the Warrior dropped her anchor again
at Spithead shortly before 5. p.m.- Looking at the
speed obtained by the ship, as given by the patent
log, her readiness in answering her helm., as de-
monstrated by the time in which she made the
circler, and the performance of her splendid
machinery, the trip may be considered to have been
attended with most satisfactory results, and augurs
well for her performance in her official trial of
speed on Thursday nett. Today she Will be swung
at Spithead for the adjustment of her compasses;

TO TM': EDTTOIt OF THE TIMES.

Sirs—The enclosed extracts from a letter I have
received from Sebastopol will, perhaps, be interest-
ing to some of your readers. The writer is Colonel
Cowan, who is engaged in raising the sunken fleet
there.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
S. ALFRED LOCKWOOD, F.R.G.S,

" Sebastopol, Sept. 20.

. . Last week we had a visit from the
Emperor, accompanied by the Empress and the
Grand Duke Constantine.- They visited the Mala-
khoff and the various batteries where war raged so
furiously a fes-W years ago.
He has ordered 12 large
monuments to be placed on the sites of the various
batteries, and the names of the officers who were
killed at the siege of Sebastopol are to be inscribed
upon them. He also laid the corner stone of a
church that is to be constructed at Chersonese, on
the spot where a former church existed. This is
where Vladimir first experienced Christianity. The
Emperor also reviewed about 3,000 soldiers on the
nlateau you will remember below the Malakhoff,
and presented them with a half-rouble each (equal
to about is. Sd.) In the evening he reviewed the
soldiers and sailors who reside here that were en-
gaged at the siege, and presented them with the
same amount. I had the honour of being presented
by his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constan-
tine. His Majesty thanked me for what-,I had ac-
complished in rendering the navigation of the har-
bour secure, and said that he was fully convinced
of the extreme difficulty of raising the sunken fleet,
and was much pleased that. I had approached so
near the conclusion. He is a fine-looking man,
speaks English remarkably well, and I must add
that I was astonished at his affability and the en-
thusiasm which the people have for him. They
seem to worship him. _ _

" Major Carpenter arrived here by the last boat
upon the melancholy missive of disinterring the re-
mains of his father the late Colonel Carpenter, of the
41st, who was killed at Alma. I had the honour of
receiving a letter of introduction from General Fos-
tor, &c., requesting me to render such assistance as
lay in my power in furtherance of his object. Ar-
rangements have been made for au escort by a bat-
talion of Russian infantry from the- entrance of the
town to the point of embarkation. Colonel Hamil-
ton, of the Grenadier Guards, together with his
wife and Miss Stanley (the lady who brought the
nurses to Scutari during the late war), hasbeen here.
They took a deep interest in visiting the graves of
their friends, the former, who was here during the
siege, visiting again the old and familiar spots.
" I am happy to inform You that your Govern-
ment have taken active steps to protect the various
cemeteries by constructing new and durable enclo-
sures around the resting-places of those whose
heroic fortitude and valour won for themselves
the admiration of the world, and it really does your
Government great credit for their kindness and
generosity in protecting from oblivion all traces of
the departed.
" It seems quite strange that the French Govern-
ment take no interest whatever either in the pre-
servation or protection of their fallen ones. I have
repaired out of my own private means many of
their cemeteries and head-stones, but what can one
person effect with means so limited in constructing
new enclosures around so many, and in setting up
and repairing monuments and slabs ? During the
past three years I have kept them in decent order,
and regret the inactivity of the Government."
