the following letter, which shows how the En-

"CAMP BEFORE SEvAsToPoL, Dec. II, 1854.
"Scme OF our DIVISIONS have of late been on half

at very high price, too, IT was resolved that each

The complaints against the Encouragement Of
tbe post and transport service, by which up to the
end Of December, many of the officers have not
received their Baggage, which was left 10 Sep
TENDER at Wanna, while others received their
trunks opened ard rihed, are equally severe.
Field Nsr,hal Raglan is never seen inspecting the
camp, and while the soldiers are starving, be
easDot remain without hot luncheon. The fol-
lowiI 10 authentic:
AT the battle Of Inks rmapn when the fire was the
hottest pony with pair Of panniers, led by Lord
Rsplap's German servant, was seen advancing to-
ward the petition Of the Commander In Chief Every
officer whom the passed in his way desired him
togo back, as the balls we're falling thickly around
and he chances were that he won be killed. The
cool German merely replied, MY master IL not so
young as he was he is aiwsys i'll Il he docs not have
luncheon, and his luncheon he shall have The
man reached Bis Lordships post through the fery
stern. and returned IN safety.
The TINES has n0w taken up the complaints Of
the officers, and carries on a fierce war against
the 1ptuseenariaDs in the camp. Lord Raglan
Sir Richard England and Sir John Bureoyne have
been severely attacked by the great organ, aud
their utter ipsuffciency has been shown up to the
great public. The Duke of Newcastle gets his
sbaIe in the blame, and il seems that a reorgani
sation of the War Ministry and change Of the
comma nd in chief has become inevitable. The
miserable state of the army cannot Re palli-
ated; and the excellent condition Of the
French forces, under the tame difficulties, fills
the English nation with shame; while the
reports from the hospitals are appalling.
From the many letters which were received
here lately, l select only two. They surpas
In horror any episode of a French novel;
"CossrASTSorLx Dec. 10.
1.-THE number Of invadds sent down here from the
Crimea does not diminish, and dyseniery and fever
have been for the last month more powerful aud fatal
enemies than the sword. There are no less than
220 sick IN hospital at Bslakava and steamers con-
tnue % arrive thence, freighed with as dismal car
goes Of human suffering they had on board the

vast majority Of them dyseRtery and fever patients.
