the Royal Society a report of having
reached the bottom of the Atlantic, in a
passage from Rio Janeiro to the Cape of
Good Hope, at the astonishing depth Of
7,7O6 fsthoms, or 81 miles; depth so
profound, that the plumEet occupied in
its descent from the reel nearly 81 hours.
From these results it appears that the
depths of the ocean exceed, the heights
of the mountains, since the loftiest sum-
mits of the Himmalaya are little more
than $4,000 feet or St miles. Not
withstanding these enormous depths,
there are large tracts of the ocean com
paratively shallow; and in the imme-
diate vicinity Of places where no bottom
could be found, were spots Of no uncom-
mon depths. These facts indicate that
the bed of the sea is diversified like the
surface Of the earth. The Gulf of
Mexico is thought not to exceed on an
average one mile; and the Greenland
seas are of such moderate depth, that
whales, when harpooned, often run to
the bottom, as is'indicated by their ap-
pearance when they rise again to the
surface Whales are even supposed TO
seek part of their food at the bottom
of the sea. .s -.r --.

very rapidly, and has now reached a
point 800 yards from the town.
The French mortar batteries are
within 1900 metres Of the inner bat
teries of the Russians. A sortie of in
significant strength was made by the
garrison last night, and was repulsed as
usual. The French lost FIVE men only.
The Cossacks on the hills to the N. E.
of BaIaklaya have nearly disappeared
and there are no indications that they
intend to occupy the hills on which 1t
was supposed the enemy were about to
reconstruct redeubts. ..-,-

Feb. 14.-ToWsrds night the vio-
lence Of tie gale abated. The Field
Marshal came down to Balaklava yes
terday, and visited the various public
establishments in the town, and inspected
the progress of the railway. There
was another sortie last night, which the
French repulsed, with a loss Of thirty
FIVE killed, wounded, and missing. The
Russians lost at least as many in their
hssty retreat. The works on our right
are in splendid order. The roads have
dried so rapidly as to admit of the pas
sage of artillery. The railroad is now
completed for about 900 yards from the
town towards Kadikoi.
The division of General Bosquet on
our right and in rear of our right flank
was reinforced to-day by upwards of
5000 men, so that it is quite probable
the rumors we hear of a reconnaissance
in force being likely to take place in a
few days under his command are true.
and that the mysterious disappearance of
the Russians from our rear will be ex-
planned and their present position ascer-
tanned. These troops, all of whom are
light infantry, marched along the ridge
of the plateau in heavy marching order
at half past 10 O'Clock, and took up
their ground on the ridge overlooking
Inkermann valley and the Tchernaya;
they were encamped before half past
l9 o'clock, but many of the tents were
blown down by the wind. The Rus
SLAMS opened new battery upon them
from the opposite heights, but they did
no damage. l believe this battery may
be said to have been 'unmasked,' for l
am not aware that its existence had
been previously observed. The Rus
SLAMS have thus established three bat
teries from Inkermann light east on the
heights over the Tchernays towards the
southeast, with the object of annoying
our flank. but the distance is too great,
and all their efforts to injure us have
hitherto been abortive.
