TIE EMPEROR ALExANDER's ADDRESS TO THE
AaMy.--On the fall of Sebastopol, the Gar is
sued al order of the day to the army, in which
he passes warm lauda,ion upon the garrison
for having, for eleven months, with such perse.
verance and zeal, disputed every inch of ground
with " brilliant bravery" il expresses, in hit
name, as well as that of all Russia, the warmes
gratitude for the blood it has shed in the defence
for nearly year, of tn 'se Notifications which il
erected in a few days. But, (it proceeds), there
ate impossibilitios even for heroes, and when the
Malakhoff was taken, the commander in-chef,' Ia
save the precious blood of his companions, had
passed over to the North side Of the fortress.
"Those tried heroes, the objects Of the gen
eral esteem of their comrades, will doubtless
give, in re entering actually into the ranks of the
army, new proofs Of their warlike virtues and
the name of Sebastopo, which has acquired i'm
mortal glory by so much suffering, and the names
of its defenders, will live e,ernaly in the hearts
of all the Russians, with the names of the he
roes who imtnor,azed themselves on the fields OF
the battles of Pultowa and Borodino."
QUEEN VicroRIA AND THE LATE Ma. HUME
1t is a very interesting and curious fact tina,
the last letter written by the late Mr.. Hume
was to the Queen, informing her that he had a
balance to pay into her hands, saved from the
wreck of her fathers property, of which the
duke made him trustee About dozen per
sons, among whom was Hume, had subscribed te
pay off the dukes debts, and Hume managed il
sIl-he saved the dukes credit, paid off all hi'
debts, coaxed his property. allowed him to die Z
popular and respected man, and. in clearing VI
his own affairs in the world, had considerable
balance to pay into the hands of his old friend I
daughter. This, Of course, will astonish people
who could never have supposed the radical Hume
on good terms with a royal duke. But there wal
something more than that He was on goot
terms with the Queen. who had, as girl and
woman, as Princess and Queen, the highest re
gard for him, and for whom he had the most un
bounded respect. Well. he wasn't made min.
lister; but that was the arstocracy's fault moi
