The Court Of Claims.-This tribunal ia fair
ly at work, and is transacting business in a
ousiness-like manner. 1t is yet impossible,
however, to form satisfactory opinion as to
the weight its recommendations are destined
to have with Congress, which will depend
much on the result of the sitting of their action
on the first two or three of their cases which
come before Congress. Those members who
are noted for paying particular attention to
the private calendar will surely examine their
action, more especially at first, with critical
acumen and eaInestnes. Unless the result Or
this examination shows, beyond question, that
the recommendations of this Court are based
upon earnest efforts to get at all the facts
bearing on the propriety Of liquidating the
claims they endorse, they will very shortly be
without weight with Congress and the country.
We are most anxious that the claimants be-.
fore Congress shall have the advantage of
speedier action on their respective claims than
heretofore, and that their honest demands
shall be promptly paid while We equally de-
sire that there shall exist more certain means Of
exposing the bogus claims which now and then
slip through Congress, to the disgrace Of that
body and the real injury Of the public morals
AID service; and we trust that this Claims Court
may prove the remedy for the two grisvous
evils noted above. IS 5.i sas.j b.. @

The Battles In the Crlmea.


Since the time of the battle OF Waterloo,
juno Is, 1915, to The late general attack on
tho Redan and MalakoH works, in The south
ern division Of Sebasiopol, Juno is, 1855,
just forty years afterwards, an English army
has met with so severe a loss ia The field as
is reported in the last battle. The Boston
Courier says:
The great Afghan loss hich the East In
dian army sustained was not in action. al
the battle of Waterloo, Wellington had under
his orders about Go 900 men a moiety Of
these only were British troops. The Prus-
slams, under Blucher camo up late in the
day-thoy are not included in this estimate.
Wellington's total loss was less than $4,000
men from his army Of $4,000. By far the
heaviest portion OF this fell upon The British
troons, as all the troops under him on thai
day were net engaged in action. Neither
the numbers Of The French nor English who
took part in the assault or The Redan and
the Malakof are given, but the front OF the
whole attack is less than half a mile, and il
is not probable that moro than 5000 Eng
fish could have taken part il il, out oil which
3,700 is the smallest number given in AIRY
English paper as their loss alone, one paper
estimating ii al from A TO 5000.
