rT^HE great want which has been felt, even since-*- the establishment of this School, of a suitnble

Building or Buildings, where the many young menwho are desirous of profiting by tlie advantages itotters, of a high scale of Education , could be accom-modated , has induced a generous friend to offer£500 towards a large Boarding House, so soon as asimilar sum was collected in England and Ireland ,and the same in America. Relying on the generousoffer, and on the zeal which every 'page of Ireland'sHistory records of her children in the cause of pureCatholic Education , we intend to venture at once onthe undertaking.

The New Boarding House will form a vast rangeof building, consisting of spacious Halls, Dormitories,Professors' Apartment, Refectory, &c, &c. Thefront occupying a space of 300 fcot, will command abeautiful , cheering prospect—tho wooded hills ofDrumana , the Blackwater and iu scenery, and avaried Landscape for miles, all spreading before theeye.

Subscribers and Patrons to this noble Institutionare respectfully informed, that their Names and Con-tributions are to be registered in a large Book, to hekept in the Establ ishment , as a monument of theirpious generosity, and as an assurance that they shallbe always prayed for.

It is not too much to expect at no distant period ,to see the youth of every land where Catholicityexists, flocking to Ireland as in days of old, and after:hcir stay at Melleray, repairing thence to throng thelalls of the Catholic University. [nl7-4t]

dFoictrm iacfoSTHE GALE IN THE 15LACK. SKA.

The Time* Constantinople con-respondent fur-nishes thu following in addition to what will be foundin our fourth pnge :— *

^The tempest commenced at Bnlaklav.i about 7o'clock in the morning, bfjhe 13th Nov. and in twohours 11 transports had-b^n wrecked , and six dis-masted," and rendered unfit for service. The mostterrible disaster is the tplaWoss of (lie new m.-ignifi-ci'nt stcuinshi p Prince, which arrived here a fow dayssince with ihe 10th regiment and a cargo valued ati.'.r>00,000, and indispensably necessary for the pro-sf cution of the siege and the comfort of the army.—The loss of (he Prince seems to have been partlyowing to the negligence of her officers. When shoarrived nt Halaklava she let go one of her anchorsin :iO fathoms water. It appears that the cablehad never been clinched , aucl the whol e of it ranout ; anchor and cable were lost together. Shethen let sjo the other anchor, the cable of whichwas so insufficientl y fastened that she lost thisalso. She then steamed out to sea until she couldget up another cable from the hol d , and at lastlet so a smaller anchor , with which she rodeuntil the tempest broke upon her on Tuesday morn-iii'.'. An eve-witness saw hrr carried from hermoorings on to the rocks with such force that in tenminutes there was hardl y a piece a yard long re-maining . Sho might almost be said to go to powder.Of a crew of 1.10 onl y si> : wore saved. This splendidvessel of 2,700 tons was purchased by the govern-ment some time since, and sent out full of mostvaluable stores and munition s of war. Everythingis lost. With the exception of the troops , everythingremained in her at the time she was dashed on therocks. The whole of the winter clothing for the menlias gone down—10,000 suits of clothes, with undergarments , seeks, gloves, and a multitude of otherarticles of the kind , vast quantities of shot and shell ,and not least in consequence , the medical stores sentout in consequence of the deficiencies which formerlyexisted. The latter were, with not uncommon negli-gence, stowed away under the shot and shell , andcould not be landed at Scutara. They are now lostat a time when the demand for them is likel y to bemore urgent than ever, and when the coinmissarialis fully occupied in ministering to the wants of thosewho still remain unhurt. The other British vesselslost nt Balaklava are as follows :—The Resolute, allhands lost ; the Rij ) Van Winkle , all lost : the WildWave, one or two saved ; the Keniltvorlh, all lost ;the Progress, some saved ; the Wanderer, all lost ;the Marquis, all lost ; the Mary Ami, all lost ; thePullowa, all saved ; the Caduceus, dismasted andabandoned. The following are dismasted and unfitfor service :—the Pride of the Ocean ; the Mcditra;the Melbourne, screw-steamer, flag of Capt. Christie;the Sir R. Sale, the Min chee, and the Lady Valiant.

The loss of men at Balaklava is about 340.The lletribution , Captain Drummond , was obliged

to throw over her upper deck guns. The Duke ofCambridge was on board , and still remains there.The Vulcan rode out the storm with three anchors.The Sampson steam-frigate lost her masts. The Ilri-tannia , 120, fouled a French line-of-battl e ship ; butboth vessels escaped, fortunately, with few injuries.The Prince had her masts cut away and her steamup, but the rigging of the mizenmast fouled thescrew, and it could not work. The vessel then ranon shore with a terrible shock.

The Resolute was laden with powder and shells forthe siege. By the loss of this vessel and the Princethe British army is deprived of the means of con-tinuing the siege for the present, even if such anidea were entertained.THE TREATY BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND THE

WESTERN POWERS.VIENNA , SUNDAY , DEC. 3.—Yesterday an offensive

nnd defensive treaty between Austria , France andEngland was concluded. Couriers have been sentoff therewith to Paris and London.

The Austrian Corresponde d says, that the tri pletreaty of alliance confirms the solidity of Europeaninterests, and announces the union of the will andpower of the three great States. The parties to thetreaty presume on the adhesion of the German Con-federation ; and the alliance has for its object the re-establisnhient of peace upon a firm and lasting basis.A credible report prevails, that , in virtue of the tri plealliance, Austria , with the consent of the two othercontracting parties, will endeavour to mediate apeace within a term of three months. Should the at-tempt prove unsuccessful, Austria, is bound to de-clare war against Russia. France is then pledged tosend auxiliary troops to Italv.

The Oest. Deutsche Post has the following •—Re-port says, Russia will be summoned to accede to cer-tain conditions within one month , nnd if she refuses,Austria will declare war.

PARIS , TUESDAY N IGHT .—It is confidentl y stated(hat the time accorded to Prussia to declare her in-tentions to the three powers who have signed thetreaty of 2d December is only one month . A des-patch from Warsaw announces that the first corpsof Russian infantry is being concentrated on theleft bank of the * Vistula. A corps Panintin ismarching towards Volhyniaand Podolia.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOIIntelligence from the Crimea, to thr 21st ult. says

that on the 15th , 16th , 17th, and ISth , the fire ofthe seige waR slack. Flags of truce had passed be-tween the generals, and it was agreed to exchangeLord Dunkel lin , by the desire of the Czar, for aRussian Captain.

French reinforcements were daily arriving. Onthe 20th the Orinoco landed the OTih regt. ; all well.On the 21st the Queen of the South landed strongdrafts of the Guards and other regiments.

REPULSE OF THE RUSSIANS AND CAP-TURE OF A BATTKIIY.

BUCHA REST , DF.C. 4.—Accounts from Sebastopolof the 25th ult. announce that the English had re-pulsed a sortie of the Russians, taking a battery ofnine guns, and have maintained themselves in it. —The allies have landed 100 ships' guns.

THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CRIMEA .During the past month, eleven regiments have

been despatched to aid the brave troops before Sc-bastopol , viz., four from Malta, two from Corfu ,three from Gibraltar, one from Ireland, and one fromEngland. Only two regiments have left England tofill up the vacancies caused by forwarding the abovetroops to the Crimea , the 5-lth from Glasgow, nndthe GGth fro m Preston. Allowing each of the elevenregiments thus sent out to consist of 1,000 officers ,non-commissioned officers and men ; each of the fourcompanies of artillery 150, and the company of sup-pers 120, it would give a total strength of about12,000. In fact, the reinforcements for Novembercannot be less than 15,000, and the present monthwill add fully 5,000, six companies of Royal Artil-lery alone being at present under orders at Wool-wich for the seat of war.

It is the intention of Government to reinforce thecavalry division in the Crimea by sending out tworegiments, mustering 700 sabres each . It is statedthat the 6th Carbineers and the 7th Dragoon Guardsare to be augmented to the above number , and im-mediately proceed on this service. The first-namedregiment has not been activel y employed since theyear 1808, when it returned from Monte Video, ha-ving Leen engaged in the expedition of GeneralWhitelock. Itis understood that in future all caval-ry regiments on active foreign service are to muster,exclusive of trumpeters and farriers , four squadrons ,or eight troops of 85 men each, making a total of G80effective sabres.

The 10th Royal Hussars serving in India are heldin readiness to embark for service in the Crimea.Should Lord Raglan send for the regiment , whichhe is empowered to do, ships belonging to the EastIndia Company are to convey the regiments frcmBombay to Suez.

THE CRIMEA.The Moniti 'ur of yesterday morning contains the

following despatch of General Canrobert , datedNovember 28th :—

" The rain haA ceased, and the weather .seemsdisposed to improve. Our works will now exhibitfresh activity. Our reinforcements continue toarrive.

" The enemy still show no signs of activity, butcontinues to protect the town by entrenchments. "

It is reported in Paris that Austria is morall y cer-tain that Russia will not refuse, the terms offered bythe tripartite, and that she would not otherwise havesigned the treaty.

13uciiAm:sT, Wednesday.¦10,000 Turks and 100 guns will be embarked next

week for the Crimea.Omar Pasha will leave in a few days. This move-

ment seems to have an import ant connection with theTreaty of Alliance with Austria.

THE AUSTRIAN TREATY.The Time* of yesterday asserts that it will be

found the treaty does not postpone for a period ofthree months the decision of a question of vital in-terest to the conduct of the war and the futurepeace of Europe, and that it does not contain anyguarantee, either direct or indirect, with regard tothe possessions of Austria. The Times then states,that although Franco and England adhered to thefour y,oints, as the chief substance of their de-mands, and the sole basis of negociation at thepresent time, and distinctly intimated that theirinterpretation of those propositions is to include thegreat objects of the war, that the Cabinet of Viennaconcurs in this interpretation of these terms.

The nature of the treaty which Austria has signedis described by the Times as being a positive engage-ment to enter into an alliance, offensive and defen-sive, with the belligerent States against Russia,unless peace be enacted by all the Powers inclusivebefore the termination of this current month olDecember ; or in other words, unless in answer tothe announcement that Austria is about to join theWestern Alliance, the Emperor of Russia declaresat once his inability to prolong the contest.

The Czar, it will be recollected , rejected thoseterms in the summer, when they were presented tohim in a conciliatory form, and when they were notpreceded by the invasion of the Crimea.

STATE OF THE BRITISH ARMY IN THECRIMEA.

The Morning Chronicle says there is not theslightest ground for supposing that the shi pwrecksof the 14th ult. have in any degree crippled theoperations of the English army, or subjected ourtroops to intolerable privations. Lord Raglan hadin store at that time upwards of three and a halfmillions of cartrid ges, and independent of the ar-ticles of winter clothing that were unhapp ily lost onboard the Prince, there were on board other ships,which must arrive shortly after the storm , 51,000pairs of woollen socks, 30,000 woollen frocks,34,000 flannel drawers, 35,000 watch coats, 50,000blankets , 23,000 rugs, and nearly 7,000 pairs ofworsted gloves.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.(From the Times City Article of Wednesday. )

The firmness observed in the English funds at thechse of business yesterday, was ini-rensP i] to day, andthe market has again closed with animation. The dis-count market is without alteration ; but the tendency,looking nt the period of tlie year, is towards e;ise. Thoaccounts from the Paris Bourse this evening show greatsteadiness at the recent rise. At Vienna the quotationsindicate that the Treaty lias exorcised a favourable in-fluence , the rate of exchange having receded m-ro thanone p<r tent , whilo tlio funds have slightl y advanced.Some Vienna letters intimate t hat Austria bos enteredinto the Treaty with the Western Powers very unwill-ingly, but that she preferred it to breaking entirely withthem. From St. Petersburg the last accounts describet sudden change- In the weather, frost having disap-peared. The John Banks has arrived from Melbournowith 3,000 ounces of gold, valued at £52,000.

ROMAN CATHOUC TROUn LR AT HARTFORD .—TheBishop of Hartford and his flock are at enmity. On.Saturday a serious contention took place at the ca-thedral in that city, arising from the refusal of thebishop to allow the remains of Father Brady, the for-mer pastor of the church, and who at the time of hisdeath was under suspension , to be buried in thechurchyard ; but tbe people persisted, and ultimatelycarried their point.

.» .OUR POOR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.\ e learn with pleasure that petitions to parlia-

ment will bo luid at the different chapel doors of thisr U y on n ext Sunday, for signature, pray ing bothh'ni -u's of ;vni ; .i :;ietit to send forward a sufficientn-.i ubor of C!i.iji!: ;i!n to the Catholic soldiers andsailor* tw v s-Tviii'.; ri ler the British flag in the1-i ut. 'i' .i.- ti ¦! •, j n i !> •f-ire parliament meets, hvery opp-irt -m •; an I :i letter man to take charge ofthe p etit ions we could not have than Mr. Meagher,M.I' ., who , wo believe , will himself see tbem trans-mitted to the proper q::i.irter.

The Itu sj ians have th i 'ir priests—th e French havethoir pvicst .-s; but it w la ft to the English to havelit t le or no priests. We may almost say none ; forwhat effective service can two or three hard-worked ,badl y-treated clergymen perform ? One of them,;>..i>r Father Wheble , died of hardsh ip and over-work. The French priests have their horses to ride ;U'U the priests attached to thn British forces must ,ui- believe, with one exception , endure heavymarches , &c, with the men. Catholic troops whosell their blood at the rate of one shilling per day (!)ought to expect , as at home, a priest in their dyingmoments. But the Catholic British sailor h.is, up tothe present , no hope at all. He is doomed to dielike a heathen—never to see his clergyman on boardship. Government will have surgeons—too few weare sorry to say—and correspondents of newspapers,on board their " wooden walls ;" but, like the fa-mous walls of Bandon , it is written on the ships that" Turk , Jew, or Heathen is welcome there, but nota—priest. "

If, therefore, our sailors and soldiers are fightingfor the country, are we not bound to fight for them—to see simple justice done them? As men , asChristians, as Catholics, we should not allow ourco-religionists to be treated like enemies. (See anexcellent petition on this subj ect in another part ofour paper.)

IRISH CORPORATIONS and HUSH MAYORSA conservative gentleman said to us this week—

" I believe it is now settled that we shall have inWaterford a conservative mayor every second year."This, we think , seems to be a general notionamongst anti quated conservatives ; and it is, we re-gret to say, fully asicnted to by a few weak-minded ,pusillanimous, illiterate personi, misnamed liberals.Though , from past conduct , conservatives deservepunishment—though for 300 years or more theybolted the corporation doors against us—still we <\nnot go for entire exclusion. No such thing. Weshould not return exclusion for exclusion—weshould show more liberality than that—we knowthat even in the South Ward they acted to n in.iuagainst ourselves—still we should return good forevil. We consider that " conservative gentlemen oimoderate opinions, who have never by their conductrendered themselves personall y offensive ," oug htto get a fair share of the loaves and fishes as well asthe honors attachable to the corporation ; but wecan never admit the principle that they should befoisted on us—" as a right"—every second year.It is not right that we should give it ; and it is un-fair that they should demand it. And why ? Be-cause in no point of view are they entitled to it. Astraders they cannot claim it—as taxpayers theycannot demand it—and singly in point of numbersth ey cannot attempt to look for it." Every second year" indeed ! How soft they

are ? Away with it, and with the hinds who sup-port or advocate it.

In Dublin the conservatives get a due share ofthe mayoralty—in Limerick very seldom—in Kil-kenny seldomor—in Wexford not at all—in Clonmeloccasionally—and in Cork , for the first time, theconservatives are now claiming their right to themayoralty " every third or fourth year." But herein Waterford they have the extraordinary modestyto demand it every " second year." In fact they areup to this point alread y—nay, they arc even be-yond it—f or the conservatives of Waterford have nowin reality the appointment of the " liberal" as well asthe conservative mayors !

This is the truth". It is better out with it at once.The fact, shameful though it be, is patent to all. Ithas come to this at last—the hacks have brough t itto this—that the Reformed Corporation of Water-ford is now wielded in every shape and form byconservatives !

THE CITY PUMPS.—A correspondent says that al-though rain has fallen in abundance, the streetpumps of the city aro parti ally dry and out oforder. A pump is much required at the cross ofStephen-street, and another in the neighborhood ofBallybricken ; but , after all , what is the utility ofsinking them if they are to turn out like the otherpumps on which so much money has been laid out.We understand that on Thomas's hill , the Glen ,Barrack-street , and Stephen-street there is anabundance of water below the surface, and yet thepublic are, we may say, unabl e to approach it forwant of efficient pumps. Ballybricken people are, invery many cases, obliged to go to the quay forwater. Is this right? A few weeks since the cor-poration voted money (£100 we think) for the pur-pose of procuring additional supplies for this locali-ty ; but we have heard nothing of tho business since.In a very short time the corporation will have thecontrol of the water pipes, and fountains, &c, whenwe trust they will keep them for tho public good.Perhaps no city in all Europe, of the extent of Wa-terford, is so scantily provided with good wholesomewater.

THE " R AGGED SCHOOL ."—We understand that amove is being made in the corporation not to givethe Town Hall for the use of the coming " Ragged"Bazaar. If the " school" were a legitimate one, theTown Hall should not be withheld. But it is not so—it is no school, except a school for scandal. It is,in fact, a mere trap, set for destitute, hungry children ,as traps are set for birds in severe weather when theearth is covered with frost and snow. The " school"has been set up to offend and insult Catholic feelingin this city , and the council like the public at largemust show their contempt for it, as well as for thosewho prop it up. Proselytism is tho bane of everywell regulated locality. It is, however, dying fast.

DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF WHISKF.Y.—JamesDelahunty, Esq., coroner, held an inquest on Mon-day, in Michael street, on the body of MichaelCampbell , who pursued the occupation of rags andbones gatherer. It appears that the deceased andhis bitter half were repeatedly engaged in " familyjars," but on Friday night last a row of amazingmagnitude "came off," which resulted in the totaldefeat of Mr. Campbell , who was obliged to retreat(to bed) under the, as it afterwards proved , deadl yfire of liis tender rib. On Saturday, the deceased,who was possessed of a delicate constitution , did notfeel recovered from the effects of the previous night'sengagement , and did not rise from his couch. Theten.ler feelings of his amiable spouso , it appears, he-name aroused , and she supplied him with an abund-ance of " egg-flip," and on Sunday ni ght the unfor-tunate man expired. The verdict of the j ury was,thitt the deceased came to his death by decline, thodisease being aggravated and his death hastened byliink.

I MPROVEM ENT BILL —The organ of the soupers inthis city is alread y beginning to throw out its feelersagainst the Improvement Bill , which we shall haveto adop t for this city in a short time. As the or^anis kept on its legs by a knot of " No bono Johnnies"people do not regard what it says on questionsin which the well-being and comfort of the publicarc involved.

MI LITARY .—The few men belong ing to the 89thremaining in our barracks after the draft for the Cri-mea last week were on Wednesday joined by a com-pany from Duncannon . The detachment whichInft hnrp last week is to be accompanied by Lieut.-f.'i i l . ( i iahain and] nine officers.

CORK M AYORALTY .—At a preparatory meeting ofthe liberal members of the town council of Cork, andafterwards in open council , a Protestant gentlemanof liberal politics was elected to the office of mayor,by a large majority. In Waterford a section of theliberals have gone so far over to the conservativesthat they will not agree to a preparatory meeting atall, lest it might do their friends, the conservatives,any harm !

POLICE OFFICE— W E DN K R D A Y .[Before the Mayor, Mr. Tabuteau , R. M., Mr. C

Newport , Mr. Ardagh , and Sir B. Morris. MrFitKgerald , S. I., was also present.]

THE POOR HOUSE GOODS.Mr. Edward Elliott, solicitor, appeared for the

poor law guardians of the Waterford union , to pro-secute Margaret Cooney, Mary Maguirc , and AliceCampbell , formerly nurses in the fever hosp ital , forstealing and pawning a large quantity of bed clothesand wearing apparel stolen from said hospital. Mr.Elliot said he abandoned the intended prosecutionof the pawnbrokers, as they had expressed a wil-lingness tc« lend their assistance in bring ing to jus-tice the parties accused.

Three or four large bundles of blankets, quilts,sheets, &c, lay on the table of the court.

The first witness called wasMr. Harncy—I am Mr. Casey 's pr inci pal clerk ;

we have three assistants in the pawn office. [Mr.II. then examined some of the goods.] I know oneof the prisoners in the dock ; she gave her name asMary Power ; I could not swear to any one of thesearticles ; all tho tickets are in Mrs. Power 's name.

Mr. Tabuteau—Do you know any Mrs. Powerthat has 10 or 20 pair of blankets to spare I

Witness—I caut 't say, sir; I might write pledgeswithout taking them myself.

Mr. Tabuteau—I don 't think yon need go farther,Mr. Elliott, than to prove where these goods weregot ?

Daniel Ahearn sworn—I am clerk to Mr. Mariga,pawnbroker, Broad-street ; I know Mary Power, oneof the prisoners ; I cannot say whether she pledgedthe sheet E hold in my hand.

Mr. Elliott—They have no eyes for anything ex-cept the pledge (laug hter).

Witness—The tickets are not in my hand writing ;I can 't identify the articles ; the sheets were pled gedabout six months ago ; I cannot find the books.

Mr. T.ibuteau—Do you ever forget to find theinterest ?

Witness—Oh no, sir (laughter.)Margaret Ilarncy—I am in Mr. Casey 's employ-

ment ; I know one of the prisoners ; I do not re-collect any particul ar article she pled ged ; I saw hermore than once in the place ; I don 't mind everyperson that comes in and out; I do not write thetickets.

Thomas Cashen sworn—I am in Mr. Casey's em-ployment ; I know Mr9. Power, ono of the prisoners ;I could not say fro m whom I got the articles ; Iwrote the label on the blanket before me ; I haveseen her in the office , but I don 't know when thegoods were pawned.

Mr. Harney—I did not know they were poor houseblankets ; on my oath I would not take them if Ithought they were not got honestly.

Laurence Croke—I am 13 years of age ; I am inMrs. Grennan 's employment as a pawnbroker ; Iknow one of the prisoners (Mary Power) ; she waspawning a blanket on the 15th September ; he iden-tified one of the sheets as having been pledged byMary Power ; I never give a ticket nor take apledge ; I rflerely write.

Michael Kearns sworn—I am in the employmentof Mr. Clarke, pawnbroker, New-street; I know twoof the prisoners ; I saw them pawning goods ; I amalmost certain Alice Campbell pledged the shirt inmy hand ; the ticket is in my own hand writing.

Patrick Connell (a very smart boy) sworn—I livewith Mr. Carroll, of New-street ; I know one of theprisoners (Mary Power) ; I know that she pledgeda part of a petticoat.

Mr. Tabuteau—There is one thing establishedhere at all events ; that is, all the pawn offices inWaterford know Mary Power (laughter) .

Michael Lalor sworn—I am Mr. Flynn 's clerk ; Ido not know any of the prisoners ; Catherine Power,Barrack-street, pledged a bed tick in March , withother articles.

Constable Pallis—The tickets were found in thepossession of the prisoners.

Here the evidence closed. Mr. Tabuteau said—•Here is a day 's labour gone for nothing (laughter) .

The case seemed to be about as clear in the end asit was in the beginning. However, we believe infor-mations are to be taken against the prisoners, whowill be tried at next quarter sessions.

[The magistrates were rather severe in their allu-sions to the pawnbrokers (although Mr. Casey 's mangot two of the prisoners arrested, which he need nothave done) but they said nothing at all of the guard-ians for keeping a troop—or atleast a trio—of rob-bers to guard the property of the public. Theyshould be more cautious in appointing their officers.]

tg£" We have heard that a respectable mercantilefirm in this city intend suing the Waterford SteamCompany for the recovery of damages sustained byinjury to their goods while on board the Mars steam-er, on her voyage from Liverpool last week, whenshe was obliged to put into Holyhead, and had waterin her hold.

IggT The evening mail , which formerly arrived inthis city nt 3 p.m., does not now come to han d tillnext morning. This is a vast inconvenience to thecitizens generally, because, by the present arrange-ment no letter can be answered till eleven o'clocknext day. Hence the answering mail is at presentlittl e or no service to the public. The citizens shouldcry out against it without delay.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS—YESTERDAY.At the usual weekly meeting of guardians, held on

yesterday (Thursday), the following attended :F. H. DEVEREOX , Esq., J.P.. f n the chair :

The clerk read the minutes of the last meeting,and the correspondence, which was of no public in-terest.

The clerk read the following elaborate report ofthe finance committee :—

FINANCE RRPORT.DEC. G, I8o4.—F. H. Devereux , J. P., J. W. Stmng-

man , John Hudson, and M. D. HassarJ, J.P-, present.With resprct to the letter of the commissioners of va-

luation, dated 27th ult., we are of opinion that the revi-sion of the valuation should bo completed by the 1st dayof February next, for wo have come to the conclusionthat it will be necessary to have a new rate in course ofcollection on or before the 1st of April nest , and wehave arrived at this conclusion on the following data :—The amount now in lank is, ... ... ... £3,7o9 13 4Remaining to he collected, .„ ... ... 3,(300 0 t)

Avnilnlile assets £7,130 13 4Amount of accounts ordered to be paid this day,

Probable amount of"rates which will be uncollect-cd on 23th March next , and what will be uncol-lcctnbls COO 0 0

This latter item is most likely much under thumni'k, as Ihe amount uncollectod on the takingup of tha last warrant! , was £430 15s. 4d.,which sum did not inclnde a largo, mnnunt ofrates struck off, ao uncnlleclable, and ther;was a much longer period for the collrction ofthe last rate than will be for this rate.

JC«,3B 0 0

Leaving the amount of ... ... £1 ,011 13 4Which can possibly be available ror the carrying

on the house to the clone of the current halfyear, to wit, ending 25th of March, and whichwill not be equivalent to one month's expendi-ture at the current rate.It will therefore be nocesiary to have the revised

valuation completed by the 1st February atfarthost . for itwill tako, at least, four weeks to propare the new ratebooks.

To givo legal notice of books being prepared, and ratestruck—2 weeks.

To sign books, collectors1 bonds, and sea warrants pre-pared —2 weeks.

Tho collectors to give notice to ratepayers, before call-ing on them to pay—1 week.

The ratepayers should also consider that the strikinc;of a new rate on 1st of April will not bo premature , andought not to be unexpected, for tho last rate struck wascalculated to carry on the union , not for 12 months fro mthe striking of the rate , but for 12 months from 20thMarch thon last past, and the assets then returned asavailable , were not those in existence at the striking oftlie rate, but those to the credit of the several divisionson the 20th of March then last past.

It also occurs to u* that it will be much easier to col-lect a rate in the months ef A pril and May than if de-ferred to the summer months, and indeed it might beconsidered more just to the ratepayers, to strike a rotebefore the 2.Hh of March , in ordor to enable tenants todeduct rates from their Mnrch rents. The necessity ofkeeping a balance in our Treasurer 's hands, is also themore evident from what has occurred lately with respectto the interes t due upon former over draughts , and whichwas very near causing the whole of the acconnts for thebalf-ycar ending 29th September, haviug to bo mude outanew.

The usual time of striking rates in this union has gotto an inconvenient period of the year, with rohtion tothe power of the ratepayers (especiall y the country partof them) to pay same, viz.:—the summer months. Wewould, therefore, suggest the propriety of strikiug thetwo rates, upon an expenditure to be estimated for onlynine months, and this would bring future yearly ratesto bo strufik upoD the -'9th of September, which leavesthe entire winter for the collection thereof.

We further recommend that the commissioner of va-luation be informed that wo tiro likel y to prqure forstriking n, rate alxmt the 1st of L'obiuary, and that this;union has had great reason to complain of the very in-elficieut and careless manuer in which all former revi-sions have been mailo by him.

They further recommend the payment of several ac-counls to tbe amount of £>Wl His. X Id.

F. IT. DEVEREUX .M. O. HAS-SAIID.

The following observations were made by the guar-dians present in committee:—

Mr. Dillon asked the clerk did he understand himright to Bay tliat the finance committee recommendedthe striking of tho rates be broug ht up to the 29th ofSeptember. In his opinion tint would be entirel y toolato a period of tho year to do so. The rate that wasstruck this year was dono iu August, and that seemedto bo in the proper time.

Chairman—What was meant was to have it in courseof collection at that period. Their yearly expenditureand revenue became exhausted on tlie 25th of Mirch ,and it was considered advisable to have the new rate incourse of collection before that period , and for that pur-psse it was ileemed advisable to have it brough t up tothe 20th of September. That can be done by strikingtwo nine months ' rate—or by a six mouths' rate -thesix months' rate might be the In'st.

It was resolved that the consideration of this reportbe deferred for this day fortnight , the board to bo spe-cially summoned for that purpose, with the cscoptiou ofthe payments which arc ordered to be paid.

The foregoing report was unanimousl y adopted.INCREASE OF PAUI 'RUISM DIETARY REPORT.

The dietary committee reported that during thelast twelve months the number of able bodiedpaupers had greatly increased , whiUt the same classlias greatl y diminished in other workhouses—theydo not think it, however, necessary to lower eitherthe scale or grade of diet materiall y—they also re-commend the poor law commissioners to establish ununiform scale of diet in the several poor houses inIreland , and thereby preven t a rivalry between poorhouses throughout the 'country.

A long discussion arose on the subjects introducedinto the report.

The chairman said it was competent for the boardto rejec t able-bodied strangers—they might get anight's lodging, and return next day to their ownunions.

Mr. Hamilton said the system of night's lodgingencouraged strolling paupers and vagrants to prowlabout the country—that system was found to workbadly in all unions it was practiced in. When a pau-per is once admitted , even for a night , the masterhas no authority to turn him out next morning with-out a written order from the board.

Mr. Peet defended Mr. Blain 's conduct for re-jecting the girl whose case was discussed on theprevious Thursday. She was able-bodied and a na-tive of Dun'gnrvan.

Mr. Hamilton said she had been six or ten yearsin the Waterford workhouse.

Mr. Elliott said strolling vagrants should not beadmitted , but prosecuted under the vagrant act.

Mr. Jacob also spoke in favor of Mr. Blain, as ahumane and attentive guardinn. With respect tothe dietary, he made inquiries in Clonmel , and helearned it was as good as what is given here.

Mr. Hamilton said paupers would sooner be in theNew Ross workhouse than in the Waterford house(hear). The number of infirm paupers is greaterhere than in other union houses, because this is theonly county in Ireland without an infirmary.

Mr. Hudson—Tho bread which is used in theLimerick house, was exhibited by him , and it wasBO bad and black it was likened to turf by some ofthe guardians present—it was unfit for human sus-tenance.

The chairman said in other unions the guardians didnot act indiscriminately—for instance the North andSouth Dublin unions, as well as several others. Itwould be desirable if there were a uniform practiceof admission in all unions—the want of it was thegreat evil (hear) .

Mr. Hudson said one of the relieving officers ofKilmacthomas had been committed for manslaughter,for not giving proper relief to a person who had sub-sequently died from destitution.

Mr. Cadogan said a poor boy was refused reliefII6- J y befole> who cftme looking for an auntot his, and was not able to work—Mr. Chriitmas was

in the chair (hear). He (Mr. cC.) contended thatother guardians gave more generous diet in theirunions than is given here.

Alderman Kiely—They can't be pampered muchhere when the cost is onl y 13. 6d. a week per head(hear). rMr. Hamilton said the root of the evil is the prac-tice of giving provisional tickets (hear).Mr. Cadogan said Mr. Blain was in the habit of

giving a night's lodging to poor creatures and turningthem out in the morning. 6Mr. Hudson said Mr. Blain gave a good deal ofhis time on admission days, and always actedhumanely.Mr. J. Carroll approved of the report so far as it

goes, but he considered it would be unfair to givethe poor bad diet (bear). In justice to themselvesthey were bound not to admit indiscriminately per-sons from other unions (hear) . He saw by the Newsthat at a meeting of the Dungarvan board of guard-ians at which Lord Stuart was present, they rejectedpersons who it was said were able to work (hear) •if that was done there they would make their way tothis union (hear, hear).

Mr. Hamilton said there was not a more humaneman than Lord Stuart.

Mr. Richardson complained that a man namedDarmody, a cooper, who was too idle to work badobtained admission on the day previous. '

MASTER 'S REPORT.The master reported that the painting of the work,

house had been completed and well executed by Mr"

Kavanagh—that he bad suspended the nurse'Mulcahy, who had sold the milk of the fever hdgpiltal patients (she subsequently wenJ^J^bsTtnatConstable Pallis had succeeded "j£j§H©g out alarge number of articles stolen fronVt^iever hospi-tal, which he had now in his possession ; there weretwo or three of the persons implicated in jail await,ing their trial—that he had taken stock at Hennessy 'sroad auxiliary which he found correct, and which hegave up to the possession of Mrs. Sloane, the newward-mistress.

Several guardians spoke in the highest terms ofpraise of Constable Pallis, but on a disscussion somewere of opinion it wouid not be advisable to memor-ial'Col.'McGregor in his favour.

The rations of the master and matron were, with-out hesitation , increased in quantity, on applicationof the master.

Mr. Hamilton , in his report, recommended thatthe infant class of children in the female school beremoved to the parent house or Michael-street aux-iliary.

Several guardians were against the suggestionas the place they are in at present, Hennessy's'road , is, as stated by Mr. Hudson, one of the heal-thiest situations about the city.

MR. WALTER WALSH .Mr. Holden moved, pursuant to notice, seconded

by Afr. Asper, that the offer of Mr. Walsh to theguardians, namely, £50, in lieu of Fitzpatrick'sdefalcation , be accepted by the board .

Mr. J. Carroll said he had a conversation withAlderman Forristal , and he told him he was readyto swear, if necessary, that Mr. Walsh had no inter-est whatever in the farm he formerly held.

A division took place on the motion—the votingwas as follows :—

For the motion—Messrs. J. Carroll , Hally, PhelanDr. Mackesy, Gamble, Hudson , Holden, Barron ,Asper, Aid. Carroll , Carrigan , O'Reilly, Cadogan ,Penrose, Weekes, and Hon. Mr. Fortcicue—17,

Against the motion —Messrs. Peet and Dillon—2.The motion was declared carried , subject to tlw

sanction of the poor-la K commissioners.THE SCHOOL .

Mr. J. Carroll said it was impossible for two teach-ers adequately to instruct the large number of boysin the school at present , 230. Hi should thereforepropose that they advertise for a thir.l teacher toassist the other two.

Mr. Hamilton agreed with Mr. Carroll that twoteachers were not sullicient for such a large numberof children. It was Mr. McLoghlin 's (district insper-tor of schools) opinion that two were inadequate fateach so many.

Mr, Cadogan seconded the motion._ Mr. Elliott moved an amend nent that they adver-

tise for a trained agriculturist who will be capable ofinstructing both in tho school and on the ground",and that the commissioners of education bn requestedto recommend a suitable person , at a salary of £ 10per annum , and rations.

Mr. Cadogan said lie had no confidence in tincommissioners of educiti.j ii (hearnnd laug hter). Tliryrecommended incompetent teachers for the maleschool before (bear).

The chairman said tiie poor law teachers were un-derpaid throughout Ireland , consequentl y they mustexpect some bad ones.

Mr. Carroll would be most anxious to have a goodagriculturist , but he would not like to take one atthe commissioners' recommendation (hear).

A division took place on the amendment , and thsvoting was as follows :—

The amendment was declared carried.The present agriculturist is to resign at the end of

this month.TIIC CRIM EA.

The Won. Mr. Forteseue said ho had received aletter from a gentleman of the board who was notthen present, recommending a subscri ption to be en-tered into for the purchase of materials to makestockings and other clothing for the soldiers at theCrime.i, and that the female paupers in the work-house and auxiliaries be employed in their manufac-ture.

Mr. Cadogan—I strongly object tc this beggingway of the government in suppplying their soldierswith clothing. If they are fighting the battles of thecountry, tho government has a right to support themas well as their wives and children (hear). It is ashabby thing for the British government to be goinga b?gging for lint , old rags, and old workhouseclothes (hear and great laughter). I object to suchtrash (laug hter). They boast of having means to" carry on the ivar ;" if they have let them makeuse of them—if not , tax property to enable them todo so (hear , hear).

Mr. I'ortcscuc.—This (holding the letter in liishand) has nothing to do with the patriotic fund(hear). It is with the view of adding to the com-forts of their countrymen at the Crimea.

Mr. Cadogan—I ask the Hon. Mr. Fortescue, isit not a disgrace that the English governmentshould resort to poor houses to clothe their fightingmen ? (hear). It is real ly the most farcical thing Iever heard of (hear). The government appears ina most contemptible position—to be looking for oldclothes ; I have an old pair of boots at home whichI'll send them (laughter) .

Mr. Hudson said as the parliament meet on Tues-day next petitions ough t to be sent, praying thatthe government will provide for the wives and chil-dren of those who went to the East, for the patrioticfund , at best, will afford only temporary relief (hear,hear). If not, the widows and children of those whofall will, ultimately, become burthens on the rate-payers of the country (hear, hear).

Mr. Hamilton—Government never intended theyshould become burthens on the poor law unions.

Mr. Hudson—Two men, (one married, the othernot ,) who had enlisted in the Waterford militia,were admitted here yesterday, where they are, I sup-pose, to remain till called upon (leud cries of hear).Two women, whose husbands are at the Crimes,were also admitted (hear).

The subject here dropped , and the board broke UP-STATE OF THE HOUSE.

'Hie clerk (Mr. iVm. Hunt) read the minutes, &c.wlu-n a number of persons, mostly females, wereadmitted to tlie house. A girl from the Carrickunion , who said sho was "read y to be confined ,"sou 'lit atltui s-i ion. The guardians thoug ht it wouldlie bit ter that shu should be confined in her ownunion. Ciipt. Hamilton said it was illegal for pau-pers to be roaming from union to union. The me-dical ollicor of the houso, at the request of thu hoard ,reported thai she would not bo confined till towardsthe end of the mouth. Mr. W. I'ower and Lord¦\Vaterford then suggested that the guardians shouldsubscribe sonic money out of their own pockoN tosend her to Carrick , when Mr. O'Sliuu collected1>. (id. for the purpose , which was handed her im-

mediatel y after the board had separated. Soon afteran app lication was made for a cofliu fur a poor per-son outside tlu hnu<c ; but , as the guaidians had notthe power to procure collins for those not receivingr.'liet ', L ir.l W.iU'iTurd subscribed 2s. (i.l. for the"last sir!I."

Capt. Hamilton thoug ht ihc farmoM ought toemp loy some of those persons w) io app lied for ad-mission.

Mr. J. N. I'ower said that those who were broughtup i i workhouses were considered by the farmer s nogoal to work. Mr. O'Shee, who gave a great dealof einp l•ivt no '.'.t himself , was aware of that .

Mr. O'SI ICJ said that those persons who were dis-p is-'d to go to the workhouse , were very little goodafter en!'ring it. ll;mest , industrious peop le wouldaltnost d.i anything to earn a livelihood before theywould COIIIL1 iiil 'i it (hear , hear) .

And he was happy to say that tin ;op erations of the agricultur ist of the Kilinacthomasunion had he i-n , so f.tr , very successful (hear).

Master—We have fifteen acres in all , about twelveof which are under farming operations.

Lord Waierfoni suggested that there should he aregular system of rotation on the grounds ; and alsolint the master should get persons to cultivate theland by contract , when the children of the houseinfcht hel p them.

Mr. W. l'ower said it was a pity that a piece ofland which cost so much money should be allowedto remain waste. He agreed with the opinions ofLord W.ite iford on the subject.

Capt. Hamilton—You might have a model farmhere ( 'near , hear.)

At the sii'.' j estion of Lord Waterford the clerkdrew up the following resolution , which was unani-mously adopted :—

" Tint the agriculturist be directed ta lay before theboard next bmr.l clay an estimate of the probable costthat the ex pi:n li'ure according to the system recoinmende lby him wmld amount to , showing the pro bible expense,of hand-labour , lioiie hire , agricultural seeds , &&, &«.''

I 'AT P .IOTIC FCNI) .Capt. Hamilton handed the treasurer of this fund

(Lord Watcrfor.l ) 7s. fid., one day 's salary from theollicers of the Kilm.icthoinas union.

Several subscri ptions were then handed in ,amounting to .{."'J.'i l'2s. Mr. Kdward Walsh , New-town , Mr. J. N. Power and other guardians saidthey had not yet comp leted their collections. Mr.Walsh and Mr. S. Mooro were then appointed col-lectors for (ioorgestown , in room of Mr. Harper ,who is at present residing in Tramore. (In a fewdays the subscri ption list will 1)2 published in its en-tirety .)

T. E. l'owor , Esq., J.P., handed in a letter fromtire Mining Company of Ireland , in rep ly to his ap-plication. It stated that it was not in their power, ac-cording t 'i l!ii> rules by which they are incorporated ,to subscribe anything towards the I'atriotic l'und.This announcement , coming as it does fro m a bod ywhich draws such a large revenue from the country,was received with some laughter.

Mr. O'Sbee said that several farmers, he under-stood , were afraid to pay anything towards the Pa-triotic Fund , lwt it should be a permanent tax nextyear (laug hter).

Mr. W. l'ower slated that as soon ns he receivedthe circular on the subject, he made ever)' effort hecould to return from Dublin in order to urge for-ward the collection of the fund.

It was then agreed to that the subscription listshould ha left open till this day week (next Tuesday),when Lord Waterford will bo present to receive andclose the collection.

A S S I M I L A T I O N or SU.UUKS.Mr. W. l'ower (Scaticld), read the following no-

tice of motion , which will be considered on this dayfortni ght :—

" I g ive notice that 1 mean on tbis day fortnight tobring under the con.si.'.oration of this board the proprietyof reducing the salaries of the two medical doctors of thisunion , who are paid £ iO ) each, under the medicai cl.a-ritcs' act. When first the 6 ilary now paid was agreedto by the board, it was for the purpis" of making a trialas to the woikin g ; nnd now that there is not ha lf tbe•work to be performed that there was then , I think theboard owe it to tbc cesspayers and themselves to reducethe (salaries , I should s'iggost to £!)•) each for tbc twogenilcmca.ff*ftojc;»> $ na ;fi £ioO ^i, um)Cr the medi-cal clwriticV^ftti'-^id also that the salaries

of the tworelieving officers of tins union , bi; reduced from thei rpresent amount of .CS'i c-icb to £20 eacb. At presentwe could a'most dispense with relieving ollicer-i altogether.At all events on< - w.ulil be quite enough. Tbe salariesof the oflicers are not fairly proportioned. Tlic sumspaid to tlirsc two gentlemen under tbe medical chaiitics'act , fin.] reliving rifli<:crs, with .£•!) p.ii'1 to Dr. Grew,the medical olViucr of tlio workhouse , nil amounts collec-tively to .£3lO-a considerable sum for so small a unionas this . Surely jC 10 a year is not a fair proportion of theabove large sum to bo pud to tbc mndicAl gentleman whohas to attend this establishment—who has in addition toattend a fever hospital , to act as accoucheur. &c; and oftencalled up at night, he having to walk a mile to and fromthe workhouse."

Mr. Power then made some pertinent remarks onthe subject. He said the salaries were not fairl yproportioned—that the medical officer of the housewho had a wife and family, could not stop on £40a year—that 10s. a week was ample pay for each re-lieving officer , who had so little to do—and that£90 a year was sufficient for each of the medicalofiicers under the medical charities' act.

_ Captain Hamilton—But the relieving officers mustgive up their whole time to their office.

Mr. Power said he knew that many of them didnot ''.I so.

Captain Hamilton—If the commissioners knewthat they would immediatel y dismiss ilium.

The board soon after adj ourned.

PETTY SESSIONS—Tins DAY .Present on the Bench— The Mayor, Mr. Charles

Newport , and Mr. Tabuteau , It.M. Mr. John A.Blake, Mayor elect , also sat with the magistrates.Mr. Fitzgerald , S.I., was present.

There were several drunken cases brought heforethe bench, all of which were convictions, and theparties sent to prison , in defaul t of payment of theseveral fines. One of the cases, that of ThomasFoster, a " thimble-ri gger ," and a Corkonian ., wascharged with having been drunk and disorderly,His defence, uttered in the true Corkonian slang,excited some merriment in court. Ho said he wasonly lushy, and was well able to keep his perpendi-cularity without the fear of his "mother earth."—He was fined 2s. or 48 hours' imprisonment.

The other business were ordinary assault cases ofno public interest.

We read in the Jluslon J'ilol the following gratify ingaccount of the progress which reli gion h makingunder his charge* :—" On Sunday, the 12th of Nov.the Right Rev. IJishop Fitzpatrick administered thesacrament of confirmation to seven hundred andthirty persons, in the town of PittMicld , Massachu-setts, which is under the spiritual charge of the(lev. P.

Immediatel y after the lastmass, the Bishop ascended to tho altar and delivereda powerful and eloquent discourse, on tho nature ofthe sacrament , the dispositions required , and thecltects to be produced on those who worthil y re-ceived it. This Bishop in the most lucid mannerpointed out from, scri pture and tradition the autho-rity for giving confirmation , and was listened tothroug hout with the greatest attention by a do-li ghted congregation , many of whom were Protes-tants .

STATE OF SEBASTOPOIThe following is an extract of a letter from the

town of Sebastopol , inserted in the Gazelle de Cut-oyne \—

" We still exist , though the French and Englishuse all the means in their power to destroy us. Wearc still keep ing our ground ; but how long may webe able to continue to do so I One. more slaug hterlike the last (Inkerman), and who knows whether vn\may continue to hold out. All our endeavours arefruitless and vain , for they laid to no ultimate results :although we possess superiority of numbers we shallnever beat our enemies in the open country. Theterrible sait y frulU of thu E.iglish—their fearfulartillery, which devastated whole lines of oursoldiers, was so harrassing in the retreat , that ourmen formed into compact masses, in which theirbullets and balls made fearful ravages. 'The riflemenpicked off all our ollicers. Our soldiers are obedient ,and execute their orders mechanical ly ; but theyare much wanting in address, presence of mind ,intelli gence , fire , and enthusiasm. They are equall yamazed and upset by the cool determination of theEnglish, ami the bold and inipetiiom attacks of theFrench."

THE "SURPLUS POPULATION1."So much uvil bas been inflicted on the enfeebled

constitutions of our humbler classes by the starvelingsustenance so grudginl y doled out to them in thepoorhouses, that there is reason foi fear lest tbe serfsof Russia prove an overmatch for the paupers of theseislands . In short , the best allies of the Czar are thelandlords of Ireland , who enfeebled the emp ire bycreating a wilderness , and the poor law gentry, who ,by keep ing the paupers scarcely above starvationpoint , sap and undermine the constitutions of thepoor. It both be not arrested , they will annihilatetho class on whom the safety of the empire depends.

With reference to the " patrio tic fund ," the diffi -culty to Catholics is to contribute at once to the wi-dows of soldiers and the p irsons of the Establish-ment. It is a great grievance that at one and thesame time our peop le lay down their lives for theState in the Crimea , and WG ourselves lay down ourmoney to feed the parsons in Ireland. It is reall ytoo much to take our monoy and our lires.— Tablet.

D EATH OF CATT. STANLEY , 57TH R EOIMEXT .—While in the act of commanding his regiment , andleading them back to their encampment after thevictory at Inkennann , this gallant officer was knock-ed down by a cannon shot. Capt. Stanley 's suffer-ings were very brief , and he lies buried by his colonelBrigadier-General Goltlie. While quite a boy, hefought and bled for the Queen of Portugal , and wasmade Kni ght of the Tower and Sword by her Majesty .King William himself introduced him into the armyand gave him his commission.

Mr. O'Shea returned thanks for the honour con-ferred. Need be, in that city, speak of his sympa-thies with bis religion—the Catholic religion? Needlie say that he would be the laat to act with any manwho would revile that religion—(hear , loud cheers,and interruption). He then said ho should haveconfined his remarks to an expression of gratitudefor tbe support be had reccivd but for the gross, un-justifiable , and calumnious attack made on him byTown Councillor Cullen (confusion). Who was thisman ? Was he a person of high social standing(great confusion).

Mr. Cullen—Hi gher than you, sir. My grand,father was not a shoe boy (uproar). Higher thanyou, sir. Higher than you (cheers, groans, andconfusion).

Mr. O'Shea—Is be a man , sir ,—(great confusion ,in the midst of which Mr. Cullen , in a state of greatexcitement , rushed over to near where Mr. O'Sheawas standing. Tho uproar became fri ghtful , severalmembers of the council leaping upon chairs and tables.Our reporter was knocked off his seat in tbe jostlin gand it was with the utmost difficul ty lie could bearA word of what was said. A personal collision wasfeared).

Mr. Cullen—You have no right to assail me , sir.Mayor—Allow Mr. O'Shea to proceed. You can

reply to him. If order is not preserved I will dis-solve the meeting.

Another explosion of confusion here broke out ,Mr. O'Shea 's friends calling on him to speak—a callwhich was met with counter cries of " no , no." Mr.R. Russell , Mr. James Spaight , and others criedout " order" as loud as they could, but all to no avail.Soon after, Mr. M'Leod and a party of police enter-ed , when comparative order was restored.

Mr. O'Shea proceeded. When he was interruptedby that mal igner and slanderer , pointing to Mr. Cul-len—(terrible confusion , which lasted for severalminutes).

Mayor—If order is not preserved I will clear theroom (desperate excitement).

Mr. O'Shea—Who was that man that dared toassail him before the face of bis fellow citizens ? Washo a man of elevated character? AVas he a manwhoso pathway was tracked with the blessings of thepoor ? Or rather was he nothing else but a swag-gering bull y with A vul gar mind , and a mendacioustongue (terrible confusion).

Mr. Cullen—You lie , sir (awful excitement).Mr. O'Shea said a clergyman had told him he

had heard that Mr. Cullen said if his Lord and Mas-ter owed him money, be would drag it out of Him(uproar).

Mr. Cullen—Who is that clergyman ?Mr. O'Sbea—'The Rev. Mr. Butler.Mr. Cullen—Where is Father Butler ?Mr. O'.Shea—After dinner at m}r own hou3c Mr.

Butler said what he bad beard that Mr. Cullen saidif God Almighty owed him money he would makeHim pay, or words to that effect—that so it wasreported—(upr oar) ; that he heard it from others.

Mr. James Spaight—Is tbis a school for scandal ?(yells).

Mr. Cullen said the statement was a slander. liehad never said anything of tbe kind. Let Mr.O'Shea and Doctor Butler settle that.

Mr. O'Shea—Mr. Cullen poured out slander withthe volubility of a prostitute of the streets (oh , oh ,and confusion). He denied he was the agent ofColonel Dickson , but he would act for him if he wasengaged—(more uproar).

Mr. Cullen sai:l that since he bad refused to put acase into Mr. O'Shea 's hands , and gave it to Mr .Murp hy, Mr. O'Shea had not ceased to considerhim a personal enemy.

Mr. O'Shea—That is not tho fact.Mr. Cullen—And on the trial of the case Mr .

O'Shea supp lied notes to Mr. Brercton to abuse me.Mr. O'Shea—That is not the case.After some further excitement , confusion , and

uproar , Dr. Kane moved , and Mr. Lcnihan secondedan adjournment of tbe Council.

The motion was carried amid renewed confusion.Mr. Lynch (striking the table)—It is well there is

an adjournment, for I was prepared to annihilateCullen (uproar). The council then adjourned.

SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION of the CATHOLICSOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

(From the Tablet).As parliament is to meet immediately we are

opportunely reminded by a respected correspondentof the urgent duty of calling upon Catholic Irelandto take up at once and in earnest tbe important andpressing question of the sp iritual destitution of theCatholics serving in the British army and navy. Nota day, we think , should be lost before petitions areprepared and signed as numerously as possible, pray-ing for jus tice to the Catholic soldier and sailor, andthese petitions should be poured into both housesfrom tbe first day of the session , It may be said ,why not rather call upon Catholic charity to supplyfunds to defray the costs of sending out mission-aries to our Catholic soldiers, as wo send them to tbeheathens of China and Africa; but the answer is,that without an official status and recognition suchmissionaries would find their position most irksomeand their services comparativel y inefficient , even ifpermitted to remain amongst the troops. Of course,in the case of the sailors, such unrecognised Chap-lains would not even be admitted on board the ships.Under the circumstances, we have no resource but tobring the indi gnant feeling of Catholic Ireland tobear upon those who persist in robbing tbe catholicsoldiers and sailors, who are shedding their blood forus all , of the consolations of religion even in theirdy ing moments. The following excellent petition ,numerousl y signed , has been forwarded from theparish of Atlare , by the Rev. T. S. O'Grad y, to theSecretary of State to her Majesty :—11 The humble Petition of the Catholic Inhabitants of

the Parish of' sf rta rc, in the County nf Limerich, toher Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria," Showcth—That many of your most Gracious Majes-

ty 's petitione rs have sons, relations , and friends servingiuynur Mnjcsty 'snrni y anil navy, and at present exposedto the immediate danger , almost the certainty, of losingtheir lives in the war now waging with such fury againstllussia ; that at all times for centuries heretofore, as wellas at preseut , those serving in the navy havo been andarc left destitute of all the rites and consolations of ourboly relig ion , both living and dying, savo when obligedBgiinst their will and inulinatiou , and against their con-science , to join in the religious service performed by a1'iotestfiut Chaplain »r layman ; that with regard tothose now shedding their blood and pouring out theirlives in the armies of the Rust , wo learn with the mostheart-rending griefaud affliction that their spiritual con-dition is lit tfe better than those in tho navy ; that thospiritual provision mad e by government is so very shortaud scanty as to be almost nsele-s, mid only a natno ; thateven the Catholic Chap lains who have been sent out byprivate munificence a»d charity are, in presence of thedying catholic soldier , insultingl y expelled from and or-deied to quit the scone of departing life without beingallowed to afford him the sacred rites aud consolations ofreli gion.

" That we are taught by the daily and most earnest in-structions of our venerated and beloved pastors , wher-ever we listen to them prcach :n^ tho gospel of truth , thatT7O are aeut into this world , first of all , to work out oureternal salvation , that every other object and pursuithere below is triflin g and secondary. ' Thut it pro/its aman nothing to gain the whole world if he lose his ownsoul,' and that be is to take nothing in ' exchange' for hisimmortal soul.

" Again, wo are most impressivel y by them informedthat ' he who lovt's the danger shall perish therein ;' nndhence, in thoir frequent instructions to those emigratingto America and other countries , they endeavour mostimploringly to impress on them , not for any emolumentwhatever, not for any temporal wealth or worldly aggran-disement , to settle in any locality where they would badeprived of the means and opportunity of practising theirholy religion at all times, and , abovu all , of securing itsiuestimable benefits and blessings at the hour of death .

"Most deeply penetrated , then , with those sacred andimportant truths , and trul y saddened and alarmed at :lhespiritual ly d<;stituto state of our children , relations, andfriends, which wo deplore cvou m ire than their bodil yprivations , and far moro even than the loss of their li ves,we most humbly supplicate your most Gr.iciou* Majestythat in your royal clemency and pity you will be pleasedto remedy these most afflicting grievances of which yourpeti 'iouers havo to complain.

" Your Majcty 's humble petitioners might , by revert-ing to and dwelling on all that your Mnj onty's Catholicloyal subjects have suffered fiom religious persecutionsand privations for centuries up to tbe present time, ex-cite your Majesty 's most gracious compassion, and there-by strengthen and serve their cause, but we slmll abstainfrom harrowing your Mnjesty's tender feelings andaggravating your pain of tniud while your heart is alreadytorn and blooding from the truly trag ical reports you arcdaily receiving of tho slaughter and sufferings of your1 yal and devoted subjects in the E.ist. We shall, then ,conclude by again most humbl y but most earnostty midfervently supplicating your beni gn ami g aeioiw Mnjestythat , in your royal couipission and clemency , yon will l>opleased to remove , as soon us possible , those obstacleswhich chiefly make your loyal and devo trd Catholic peo-ple shudder at encountering the dangers of tho ba 'ilc-fiuld, anil thus encourage them to riva l any other of yotirMnjesty 's subjects in bravery for tho support and pro -lection of your Majesty 's throne and dominions.

" And your petitioners shal l ever pr;iy."

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.An officer in tho 30th , in writing home to his

friends , says, the allies did not undress themselves: atnight since they landed on the Crimea.

An artillery officer 's letter in the Times says, itwas " all up " with the British at the battle of Ink-erman onl y the French caini; up so soon.

A writer in the same journal states, from personalobservation , that the walls of Sebastopol appear asstrong now as «.vcr they did.

A private in the Guards , in writing to bis wife ,remarks—" Our bri gade is not more than 750 men ;our original number being 2,000."

Another writer .says, " the French have morethan their original numbers at the seat of war,whilst the Briti -m have less than half."

A surgeon in the Guards says , "as I was mountingmy horse , he was shot throug h the head , and bisbrains .spattered over my face."

The French Government have sent off from Mar-seilles 00,000 pairs of gaiters , lined with fur , for thesoldiers of the army of the East.

The Earl of Ellesmere is about to send out bis .ca-pacious and swift-sailing yacht to the Crimea, filledwith provisions and clothing for the army.

On Sunday, the screw steamer Nonnuu left South-ampton with 100 woudi.'ii lints, eacli capable of ac-commodating 20 persons , being the first shi pment ofthese, habitations , which are intended to provide forthe comfort of the Eng lish soldiers during the win-ter campai gn in the Crimea.

Gen. Li prandi is stated by a Madrid journal io hea Spaniard , who has been several years in the Rus-sian service , and that his real name is E^pcjo.

The land of ibe Crimea is 700 f.-ot above thesurrounding sea. Snow iipj ie-irs on the di itanthills.

PisiscF. MuNscu iKur . r A N D HIM D n r . w .—TheLeader has the following,/''*! il'esprit on Prince Men-schikofTs late despatches :—" Menschikofl ', whoserandom wit has a reputation in Russia , apologisescharacteristicall y enoug h for the comparative veracit yof his later despatches :—" I had a dream last ni ght ;I stood at the gates of Paradise ; within the gateswas St. Peter dang ling his keys. While I waswaiting to takn iny turn , there camo up 300 Britishsolditrs , who begged admittance , as they had died atAlma, fi ghting for their country . St. Peter referredto Lord Raglan 's despatches , and , finding thesoldiers ' tide to be triw , let them in. Next came 300French soldiers , who a l- i i begged admittance , as theyhad died at Al s-.a fighting for France and theirEmperor. St. Peter turnc d ovi r the file of the Mon-Iteur, and passed the l-rruehmeii throug h the gates.Next came up 1,000 Russian soldiers , who beggedadmission into Paradise , for that they bad died inthe Dobrudsfha , fi ghting for the Czar, under PrinceGortschakofi", sgainst tin: infidel troops of OmcrPascba. But St. Peter shook his head as he held uptbe Involute Jtus.n\ containing the despatches; ofPrince Gortschakof!', in which the loss of the Rus-sians were described as in:-i }; !iilii 'ant, ' Go,' said St.Peter ; ' I have admitted tiio British soldiers, for Ifind their names in Lord Raglan 's despatches. Ihave admitted the French , for I find their names inthe Mointeur ; but Prince Gortschakoff says nothingof your death . You are impostors , and can have noplace in Paradise.' And so I saw these poor Rus-sian soldiers wander away outcast and forlorn , andit seemeed to me that they were doomed to wanderfor ever. When I awoke , I resolved to endca-ourtoconciliate my duty to the Emperor with my desireto gain admittance for our s . i l ' l i i ' i . - hi!" i' iradise. "

The Times says, " m .l -. s:; \. -. i.eu be secured beforetbe ter mination of the p i. -smi yiir , upon the fullterms required by the Western Powers , without re-servution or abatement , the ; war will bo carried onwith a vast increase of military power to which tberesources of the Russian emp ire will be in vainopposed."

"Why did you never think of marriage?" asked Iof my friend Lyman Itobbins , who is some ten yearsolder than myself, and a country bachelor.

" I have thought of it ," said he." Well , then , why didn 't you marry ?" I askrd." I will tell you. You know Frank Palmer , don 't

you 1" " Yes ; he failed last week to the tune of20,000 dollars. But what has that to do with yourstory ?" ."Something, as you will see. I was neverseriously temp ted to make a proj iosal but once, andthat was to Frank's wife—before she was married ,you understand."

"Oh !" said I, growing interested ; "and wh ydidn 't you?"

" You shall know. I was young and romantic atthe time—she beautiful and accomplished. We werethrown much together in society, and I was jti.it thenof an age to y ield to her fascinations. Though I hadnever expressed my love in words, I suppose mylooks betrayed me, and I am quite sure that she wasuware of my feelings towards her. Our familiesbeiii "; somewhat intimate , we were on the same foot-ing, and she treated me in much the same confidenttial manner as site would a favorite cousin."

" Do you think ," I inquired , " that she was inlove with you ?"

" No'" said lie, " I never thought that ; I pre-sume, however , she would like to have lured me onto a declaration , and then would have acted as fancydictated. One day, when I had made a morningcall and wss about retiring, she told me that site wasgoing out shopping, and laughingly proposed to meto go with her and carry the bundles. Having no-thing of importance to take up my time, and notbeing averse to the proposal , partl y on account ofits novelty, and considerabl y, I rather suspect , onaccount of the agreeable character of the company,I consented in the same spirit, and in a few minuteswe were fairl y cu mule. " I have but little to buy,"said my companion. " You may congratulate your-self upon that , as you will have the less to carry. "We made our first visit at a dry goods estn'.ilis.hmc'nt ." Have yi-u any lace collars?" inquired Caroline. Alarge quantity were displayed, but they were onlyfive dollars in price, and they were too cheap. Atlength , one was found worth seven dollars , withwhich, being declared to be the best in the store,my companion at length professed herself satisfied,and decided to t ake it. "I suppose," said she ongoing out , " that I don 't really need it, but it wasso beautiful I could not resist the temptation." Abeautiful shawl at the door of a store next caugh tCaroline 's attention. " I must certainl y go in andlook at their shawls," said she ; "I never saw anyprecisely like them." " NTew kind ," said the clerk." Yes, miss; just imported from France ; warrantedto surpass in hncness of texture and durability anynow extant. Will you have one V " The price ?"" Seventy-five dollars." Caroline was startled at thisannouncement. "That is high ," she said. "Notfor the quality. Just feel it; see how soft it is, andyou will not call it expensive." " I did not think ofgetting one to-day ; however , I think I must. Youmay charge it to my father." The shawl was folded ,enveloped , and handed to me by the clerk. " I sup-pose papa will scold ," said Caroline ; " but it 's sucha beauty."

We readied arc long aiwthcv dry goods store, theplacards over which , " selling off at exst,"' proved soseductive that went once stayed our stqn and enter-ed. Caroline rushed to examine the silks. The firstspecimens offered , which ? > my unpractised eyeseemed (if a superior qu;; ° va-rc east contemptu-ously aside, and she desi 1' . see the very best inthe store. Twe'vc yanN. >a two dollars and a halfper yard , were al 'ler a while ordered to be cut off forher, and the bundle was har.ufd to me. The bill wassent to hcr father. What wiih the shawl and silk ,each of which made a bundle of no inconsiderablesize, I was pretty well weighed down , and began tobe apprehensive of the consequences , in case mycompanion shoul d make more purchases. She how-ever relieved iny anxiety by saying that she intendedto purchase nothing more ; she was only going tostop at a jeweller 's to have a locket repa ired. Ac-cording ly, we repaired to the store of a fashionablej eweller, and the locket was handed over with thenecessary directions. But that was not all. A lad yat the counter was engaged in examining a verycosily pair of earrings, to the purchase of which theprice* was the objection. At last she laid them down ,say iii}.', " they are beautiful , but I do not care to goas hi gh as twenty-five dollars." " Let me sec them ,if you please," asked Caroline. They were handedto her. She was charmed with them, chiefl y, 1imagined, on account of the price, for they had lit-tle beyond that to ancbt attention , and she decidedto take them. " Now," said she, " 1 must absolutel ygo home without purchasing any thing more."

For once she kept her word , and I was releasedfrom my attendance. I'ut the thoug ht that she hadexpended one hundred and thirty five dollars in asing le morning's shopp ing, and. that on objec ts noneof which , by her own confession , she stood in need,could not hel p recurring to me, and I decided thatuntil I could find some more rapid way of obtainingmoney, such a wife would be aliogcther too expen-sive a luxury for me to indulge in. How far 1 amright you may jud ge by Frnnk Palmer 's failure. Atall events , that is the reason I didn 't propose !

Children in Spain are much more independent oftheir parents than with us. The father is obliged togive his eldest son a portion of his fortune when hemarries, even should he do so without his constut." A grandee must obtain that of his sovereign ; butyoung people, whose parents object to their marriage ,have only to apply to the civil authorities , and statetheir grievance. If no real objections can be urged,the alcalde takes the young lad y or gentleman , asthe case may he, from the parent 's house, and depo-sits them , as they term it , under the r.-iof of some re-lative or friend , where they remain unti l ihc marriagetakes place. A woman in Spam retains hrr ownfortune when she marries, ami is in every point, asfar as regards money, f.ir more independent than amarried woman in England. Tlie h.usbaud. be heever so extravagant , can never touch his wife's pro-perty."

Women are like old-fashioned houses, with manydoors and few windows. It is easier to gain entranceinto their hearts than to see through them,

SBBASTOPOf , , IN I CKRMA N1, AXI ) HALAk 'LAVA.The evening after we left Bakchiserai (m-rui. means

" serag lio ," or court), we reached the great bay ofAktiar , upon which , in the time of Catherine II.,was bestowed the name of Sebastopol. It also bearsthe name of " the Roads." Here the Russian fleeti-s frequentl y at anchor. It is the Ctemis of Strabo.The harbour upon which the town of Aktair wasbuilt haa been appropriated to the reception of Rus-sian ships of war. The plan of the harbour some-what resembles Malta. Landing at Aktair , youarrive in the very centre of the most interesting anti-quities of the Crimea. The country included withinthe isthmus formed by the principal harbour ofAktiar or Inkennnnn, and the port of Ralaklava isthe Heracleotic Chersonesus, a portion of the TauricChersonesus. On this small district stood the citiesof old and Xew Chersonesus and Eupatoria , the pro-montory of Parthenium , celebrated by the story of" Iph igenia ," and the Chersonesian mole. Theprincipal arm of the harbour of Aktia r runs east, andis terminated by the valley and little river of Inktr-mann.

The Prince Viazensk y prepared his shallop for uson the next day, to visit the ruins and caverns ofInkormann , which means the Town of Caverns. Be-fore we reached it some remark able excavations ap-peared in the .ocks, which the bishop informed uswere the retreats of Christians in the earliest ages.To jrivc an idea of what we saw at Inkcrmann wouldbaffle every power of pen or pencil. A river flowsinto the bay, after leaving perhaps the most beauti-ful valley in Europe , passing along the caves, whichseem to have constituted an entire monastery. The-fine prospect of the valley of Inkermann is seenthrough the wide-opening arches together with heapsof ruins on the opposite side of the river. The air ofInkermann is unwholesome during the months ofsummer and autumn. The tertian fever is most com-mon. Returning from Inkermann , we endeavouredto investigate the ancient geography of the peninsula ,but the insurmountable difficulties created by thebarbarity of the Russians were intimidating. Whenthey settled in the country the gates of the city ofChersonesus were standing. They were demolished ,the temples were overthrown , and the masses of mar-ble removed to Aktiar , and exposed for sale as ma-terials in building. If the Archipelago should fallunder the dominion of Russia, the fine remains ofancient Greece will be no more. Athens will borazed , aud not a stone left to mark where the citystood. Turks are men of taste and science in casn-parisu m with the Russians.

The vale of Uulaklava , with its wild, giganticscenery, ruins, and harbour, its houses covered withvines and flowers , overshadowed by the thick foliageof mulberry trees, make it altogether enchanting.

The ruins of Balaklava point out the palakion ofStrabo , whence some beliere it derived its presentname ; others suppose it to have been given b y theGenoese—Bella Clava, " the beautiful port ;"' tiyui-holon IAmen, " I'ortus Symboloruin. "

The port is one of the most remarkable in theCrimea , like one of the smallest of our northernlakes, but landlocked by prcci pitious mountains , theentrance very narrow but the anchorage excellentfrom the dreadful storms of the Black Sea. Ships ofwar of any burden may find sufficient depth of water,and a safe asylum here. The princi pal street is nar-row, like that of Pompeii , and paved in the samemanner, but with varicgnt 'd innrblc instead of lava ,and the porticos of all the doors covered with vines ,which yield an enormous produce.— Clarke's Travelsin Jtussia.

CALT, ON RETIRE!) OFFICERS.[TO THE EDITOR or THE WATEaFonD NEWS.]

SIR — At a time like the present, when our gallantsoldiers are earning for themselves and for their countryunfading laurels , and what is more, securing tho libertyof the . whole of the civilized world : at a time when eventlio militia regiments BO lately raised throughout theunite I liins'lom are, with their officers , freely volutiteer-ii ; : lo serve in the line, a question naturally arises in myini :i 1. tn wliich I should bo glad were I able to give a-:i 'i-iW <v!-y :niswer. IVhy do the able-bodied officers,w'm , dur in s the length y " piping days of peace,1'havei-is i ' iyc 'l tlicir full and their half-pay, still remain atInline in iiijlm-ious ease, showing tlicir prowess only asniiVi istrnU -s at pctly sessions, or running a tilt , as ex';///'¦/,•) jrii-!r..lir.ns ot llio poor, against the unhappy in-m:ites of the workhouses?

True it i:s t'):i t there is one notublo example of thoprnpr ir 'y of tl i is cmtrsc in England, in the person of oneS'jnilonnn. slyYsi tho Honourable Major Powysi who,was!in» liis time. t;r tli. »t of the country, at Woolwich,on tlie !'«!! psiy ullnwc:! to him by government, has noteven the rxeu-se In p'en.l that he is discharged on ac-count of le;v.;ili of .service, or on account of age. Hutdid I say that ho wasted his time ? Oh, no ! He doesnot waste his time. JIc is secretary of the PatrioticFund, in ¦which capaci ty he finds employment for hiatranscendent genius nnd his admirable sagacity, in draw-ing that line of demarcation, ns ho is pleased to term it ,I.etween the poor widow and orphans of the soldier , who,having enlisted a» a single mun , foil in dofence of hiscountry, and those ofhts fellow soldier, who also fell , butwho duly communicated beforehand tho interesting in-telligence of his marriage. Few will admit that tho mili-tary school or tho camp forms the most fitting prep-irntionfor the grave minutin. of civil business; and I thinktlmf Major Powys is as much out of place acting as se-cretary to the Patriotic Fund, when another and (for thehonour of the country I would hope) a better man, isfulfilling his duties abroad, as arc certain gentlemen towhom, shortly, I intend to refer, when attempting tofulfil the duties of justices of the peace, and guardians,ex officin , of the poor.

So much for Major Powys, whom an indi gnant Eng-lish public is at this moment treating -.vith the just mea-sure of reproach and contempt which his conduct assecretary aforesaid so richly merits.

In this neighbourhood resida six retired officers, eachnf whom has enjoyed ft pension from government for alengthened period of years, without having given any-thing like value in return. I allude to Col. Snow, MajorWhitney, Major Roberts , Major Elliott , Capt. Newport,f.'npt. Johnson, and Capt. Doyle, aud in case these linesmeet their eyes, I wish to draw their very particularattention to my s!atcmcnts, in order that they may replyto me if they can.

If it be true that we are to expect skill and deter-mined courage from soldiers bred in the army, shameupon (lie gentlemen whom I have mention oil, who alloweven militia-men to outstrip them in seal for the serviceof thei r country t Will tliey say that age is their excuse,or their justification ? Sir , not long- aj o I was at South -ampton , and witnessed tho embarkation of some of HerMajesty 's troops, and amongst them was an officer whosewhite hairs and attenuated frame shewed him to be aman of three score years and ten at the least, and to beone of those whose prime had been spent in contendingfor the honor of his nation. Is Lord Raglan so yntins aman , that he has no excuse on account of age ? or is SirGeo. Rmwn ? or is Sir Do I/icy Kvans ? Is it not rathrthat such inen as these had the rig ht, if such a rig'.,exist, to claim enso and comfort in tlicir dec'ining ymrsfar more than men whoso career has never been distin-guished by one brave action , or has ever added one leafti the laurels of our country.

I cMl upon the several gentlemen whoso names I havementioned , immediatel y to redeem their character andthe charactor of the British Government . The honourof our army is liko that of woman , not a stain must restupon it. there i3 in honour but one of two coursesopen to them. They must either go at once to warwith the Russians, lend their aid to our brave country-men whose ranks have been more than decimated sincethe struggle began, and who would rejoico in their co-nperation. and thus earn (if it be the pecuniary rocom-penso which they have .in view) the money which a tooindul gent country has bestowed upon them, or they mustvoluntarily resign their pensinng j n favour of men whohave the courage or the zeal wliich they themselves donot seem to ]wssc3S, but whoso straitened means are in-sufficient to purchase commissions.

Unless I find that these qurtsi gallant officers imme-diatel y fulfil the duty which they owe to their country,I will , mysel f, memorialize the Secretary at War on thesubject, and in doing so I know that I shall have thesupport of all classes of the English and Irish nations.It is a grave and a national question. Tell it not in G.ath !Publish it not in Asailon; What would France sayif it knew that we lnd men living kilo on the industry ofa people wh-'m they have never benelitied , but whomthey are pledged in honour to def<-nd ; aye, and whomthey are paid to dcfeiH ? Colonel Snow, Miijoi'3 Whit-ney, Roberts mid TAYiolt, Captains New|»rt and Doylo,I call upon you ; the British and Ir inli Nation * cail uponyon to free yourselves from the suspi cion of cowardice,and to release this kingdom from the reproach of en-couraging it.

A few words ranre, and I finish. One gentleman Ihave not hitherto named , but he lias not escaped mynotice. I allude to Captain Fleming, of Greenville.Pray, how much money has this gallant officer receivedfrom a grateful country since he was fir3t gazetted anofficer ? And what return has he ever made for i t ?Perhaps ho may say that the opportunity was neveroffered to him. What 7 Is there no opportunity now ?Yes, indeed, but then he is an old man ; a very weak, in-firm old man unfit for sorvice, incapable of fatigue, andput upon the shplf. So it is- I admit the excuse. Itis true. But still . Captain Fleming, you are a good,nay,if it please you, 1 will call you a brave man , an officer,nml a gentleman. You are naturally anxious for thesuccess of our arms in the East, and would do anythingin your power to aid! them. I will toll you what to do,Captain Fleming. Give up your pay to men who Gin doyour work, or roise, clothe, disci pline, and support n.company of men at your own expense. Let the skillwhich you acquired at reviews, on parade, and in sham-lights be of service in teaching them how to withstandor attack the enemy of Europe on tlie field of battle, andI promise you that neither my tongue nor my pen shallbo idle in your praiso.

I mu«t now conclude, lest I weary your patience, butwith your permission, I will resume the subject at anearly period , unless fear or duty call our worthy pen-sioners into action.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,Nov. 30, 1854. JUXIUS.

PAltLIAMEMTA UY NOTICES—NEXT SESSIONThe consideration of the war will , of course, occu-

One good effect of the present war is that it hascreated a taste for reading newspapers hitherto un-paralleled.

THE GALE IN THE BLACK SfcA.CRIMEA , N OV. 17.

From Monday morning, the 13th inst., until theafternoon of Thursday, the 16th, the most terriblegale known in this part of the world, has been ragingthroughout the length and breadth of the Black Sea.Pilots accustomed to the navigation of the Euxinecannot remember a tempest so lamentable as the onewhich has ju st passed over us. The prevalent windwas from the south-west with occasional shifts toother quarters.

The first mishap which occurred in the anchorageoff the Katcha (where the Commandcr-in-Chief isstationed, nnd the larger number of the allied fleets)was to her Majesty 's ship Sampson, which, togetherwith other steamers, had got up steam the momentthe gale began. This unfortunate ship fell foul ofthe transport Pyrenees, and was dismasted by theconcussion. The latter vessel, however, in cense-quence of the accident , snapped her remaining cableand slowly drifted ashore, where she struck withgreat force upon the beach , and her masts instantl ywent over tlie side. Her master managed to findfor her a most " comfortable berth ," if such an ex-pressian is not a contradiction in terms. The Pyre-nees was followed during the day and the succeedingnight by the liothlcy and the Ganges. The LordRaglan also went ashore lower down the bay andnearer the mouth of the Katcha. Eight Frenchbrigs, frei ghted with horses and men, were also castaway, and several of them went to pieces at once, orwere pounced upon by the Cossacks, who, ever athand , quickly discovered the disaster, and preparedto turn it to the best account.

On Wednesday afternoon a lull occurred andcommander Franklyn , the agent of transports, put offin a boat to attempt to reach the Admiral's ship, afeat which he fortunately accomplished with safety.A boat from the Britannia put off, but I believe wasnearly lost in the attempt , and an officer and boat 'screw from the Ville da Paris, who had gallantly en-deavoured to aid their compatriots , were all madeprisoners by the Russians, the sea having forced themon shore.

About 10 ov 50 men and two soldiers' wives be-longing to the 05th regiment were rescued on Wed-nesday evening, and taken on board the Queen. TheCossacks on the beach, seeing a portion of theirexpected booty slipping through their fingers, firedon the retreating boats and a bullet passing throughthe bonnet of one of the women , killed a seaman ofthe Quern. The enemy closed the day by firing asmnrt volley upon a bark round whose yawningsides 20 or .'!0 men were desparatcl y cling ing. Ifear their sufferings and suspense were thus summa-rily put an end to.

The nex t, morning, Thursday, the gal« havingcompletely broken , a large number of boats from allthe shi ps .vere employed in bring ing off tho remain-der of the crews , and such personal property andvaluables as could be secured. About 80 men weretaken off by the Queen, 20 were on board the Fury,and the Simoom afforded help to the soldiers in the¦'¦'rench transports , who had defended themselves¦gainst tho attacks of the Cossacks the whole night,ionic fiel d pieces belonging to the enemy had beenbrought down during the night , but disappearedwhen the steamers went in to clear the beach withshot and shell.

Such haR been tho fate of some of the splendidtransports lie fore the Katcha ,—all first-class ships,and worth upwards of £15,000 a-picce. The menof-war, whose habit of making periodical and carefulscmntiny of their cables, has here proved of muchadvantage, rode out the gale but with triflingdamage. Topgallantmasts were all sent down , top-masts well stayed, and three anchors let go. Someof them dragged, however, very considerably. TheRodney was not far off tho ground , and the Marvngoand Britannia were at one time in very dangerousproximity. Floods of water inundated their decks,and the old Britannia was kept pumping for elevenhours. The Turkish admiral lost two of his masts,and three French linc-of-battle ships their rudders.The London also has received some damage. Thewhole shore o/T the Katcha is strewn with wrecks,casks, spars, bodies of men and horses, and prowlin gdetachments of the Cossacks. I regret to say thatthe hulks of the f toilslcy and the Ganges have beenset fire to in a most mysterious manner.

At Balaklava , the Sampart 'd and the Rr/rihiitionhave gone ashore, eight first-class transports havebecome total wrecks, and every soul on board themhas been lost but thirty persons. Each of these shipshad a company of nearly forty men. To those whoheld on groat damage has been done to the spars andupper-works. Tho Prince steamer , which had latel ybrought out the -lGth roij'uneii t, has gone down with ,it is said , 300 souls on board. I cannot quite under-stand where this large number could have come fromunless, indeed , women and children , together withthe sick, had been sent to her. This, I fear, is asupposition only likely to be too true. Capt. Bayn-tun , the admiral ty agent, who came out in the Prince,has been drowned.

At Eupatoria, the English despatch-boat Danubeis high and dry ; and a Turkish linc-of-battle shipand the French Henry Qualre have gone ashore, andcannot be got off.

The calamity is rendered the more crushing bythe fact that , besides the loss of ordinary stores—such as pork , beef, powder, and rum—a great quan -tity of soldiers'baggage, and nearly the whole of thestock of winter clothing for the troops, have beenentirel y destroyed , thus increasing the discomforts ,if not the horrors, of winter cantonments in tha Tau-ric Chersonese.

The remainder of the transports and the sailingportion of the allied fleets are to go to Baltschik orSinope, though it is difficul t to say what advantagesthe birthplace of Diogenes and Mithridates , in nstrategical point of view, possesses over the city ofthe Sultan and the blue waters of the Uosphorus. Asto a winter at Baltschik , it is a horror few care tocontemplate. Dirty Greeks, chal ky cliffs, obsceneshambles, comrades dead of cholera, whose gravesline the shore, and the unwholesome Varna in thedistance, arc the pleasures the thought of Baltschikgives to all. It is to be hoped that a large portionof the steam fleet will be sent out forthwith withfresh stores and fresh men.

Captains Eden (of the London), Graham (of theRodney), andDacrcs (of the Sanxparell), have invali-ded. Captain Jones, (of the Sampson), takes theLondon.

A Russian line-of-battle ship having drifted fromher moorings to the entrance of the harbour of Se-bastopol , has been sunk there beside the others.

I.13T OF TKASrORTS LO*T OR DISABLED.On shore, but crew saved—Pyrenees, Ganges, I?od-

woll, Lord Raglan , and Tyrone. Burnt—Pyrenees. TheDanube is Io3t near Cape Cherson, but crew saved.

AT EUPATORIA , ON SHORE.The following have lost their masts :—No 3, Her Ma-

jesty ; 53. Asia ; oil, Glendalough ; 01, Harbinger , and81, Gcorgina . The crews appear to be still on board.Two other transports were partly dismasted, bowspritsgone. AT BALAKLAVA.

The following have gone to pieces on the cliffs :—Prince , Resolute, Kenilworth , Wildwavc, Progress,Wanderer, and Malta. The following were riding com-paratively easy at their anchors:—Melbourne, Prido oftho Ocean, Medora, Lady Valiant , Mercia, Caduccns, andSir R. Sale. Tho Victoria is in the harbour of Balaklavaand bas lost her rudder. The damage to the other shipsin the harbour is confined to their upper works.

DESPATCH FltOM LORD RAGLANThe Duke of Newcastle received on the 2d inst. a

dispatch from Field Marshal Lord Raglan, datedNov. 11, lay ing before his Grace, according to pro-mise, the names of the officers whose gallant conductat the battle of Inkcrmann had been brought to theknowledge of his lordship. No return of tlie rankand file killed and wounded on the 5th has been le-ceived as yet at the war office.

LOSS OF A STEAMER and ALL ON BOARD.The fine iron screw steamship Nile, Capt. Mofl'at,

belonging to the Dublin steam-packet company,while on her passage from Liverpool to Penzance onThursday night, the 30th ult., was driven ashore alittle to the northward of St. Ive's Bay, on the westcoast of Cornwall, during a gale of wind, and it isfeared that all on board perished. On Saturday lastpapers, casks, and pieces of the wreck were pickedup near Portreath . It is difficult to say what num-ber of persons were on board. Her crew, with en-gineers and firemen , consisted of 25, and the numberof passengers is stated to be about fifty. On Sundaythe stem of the Nile and pieces of her machinerywere washed ashore, ns were also the bodies of fivefemales, one of which was recognised as that of thestewardess.

^ A letter received by Capt. Moffat just

before leaving Liverpool, and his spgar case, werealso picked up.

A war medal is about to be struck, to be presentedto every surviving soldier who served against theKafirs in 1834 and 1835, and 184Q and '47, and '53

THE BATTLE OF INKERMANNFURTHER PARTICULARS.

(From ihe Speci al Correspondent of the Times.)The French were drawn up in three bodies of

about 2,000 men each on the ridge of the hills overBalaklava, watching the movements of the Russiancavalry in the plain below. As I came up the enemywere visible, drawn out tn six divisions, with theartillery and infantry ready to act, and horses saddlednnd bridled. It was evident they were waiting forthe signal to dash up the hills in our rear, andsabre our fly ing regiments. They had a long timeto wait ! Already the French were on their marchfrom the sea to our assistance, and the black lines oftheir regiments streaked, the gray plain as theymarched double-quick towards the scene of action.'The Chasseurs d'Afrique on their gray Arabs sweptabout the slopes of the hill to watch an opportunityfor a dash. At nine the French streamed over thebrow of the hill on our right—Chasseurs d'Orleans,Tirailleurs, Indigenes, Zouaves, Infantry of theLine, and Artillery,—and at once rushed over thebrow and fell on the flank of the Russian columns.On visiting the spot, it was curious to observe howmen of all arms—English, French, and Russians—lay together, showing that the same ground musthave been occupied several times by different bodiesof troops. The French were speedily engaged, forthe Russians had plenty of men for all comers.—Captain Burnett states that he saw fresh bodie3 ofRussians inarching up to tho attack on three success-ive occasions, and that their artillery was relievedno less than four times. The Minie rifle did ourwork. Our volleys told on the advancing bodies ofRussians fearfully, and , an order to be out of scopeof such terrible weapons, they rushed on us with thebayonet, and after long and despera te encountersmet their masters and were forced to retire. Thesecond division had left when it came out of actionexactl y six field officers and twelve captains fit forduty, and I believe Major Farrcr, of the -17th regi-ment , was the senior officer, and had to take chargeof the division. Tho proper compliment of captainsto the division would, of course, he 60. The fourthdivision had in a short time all its Generals—SirGeorge Cathcart and Brigadiers Goldie and Torrens—killed or mortall y wounded , and 700 men, ormore than one quarter of its strength put hors decomhat.

lU.'SSI.V X ATROCITIES.The greatest atrocity marked the conduct of the

Russians towards the officers of Adams 's Brigadewho fell into their hands. Poor Colonel Carpenter ,as ho lay on tho ground badly wounded , was bayo-netted by a ruffian who, not content with that actof ferocity, clubbed his musket, and beat the grey-haired man with it on the head till he left him sense-less. The Colonel lived but a few hours after hewas taken to hi.i tent. Colonel Hally, of the 47th ,was treated in the same way, as he was stretched inhis blood in front of his shattered regiment. Themen on both occasions rushed it> and carried offtheirofficers and bayonetted the Russians who had usedthem so barbarously. Major Powell, who was incommand of the 19th, was killed as he fell to theearth , and his murderer, who is an officer , is in ourhands a prisoner of war. The conduct of the Rus-si ans towards the wounded Guards ' officers waabrutal in the extreme. Colonel Mackinnon would , nodoubt , have lived but for bayonet wounds receivedwhile ly ing on tho ground. His leg wasbroken , andhe was so weak from loss of blood that he died undertho operation of removing it. Sir It. Newman wasstabbed all over. Russian officers were seen passingtheir swords through the bodies of our men as theywrithed in agony on the ground , and pointed to theirmen to bayonet them as they passed. A major ofthe Ruffian soldiery who perpetrated these deeds ia,however , in our hands, and evidence can be broughtagainst him to show that he was one of the princi palactors, as well as one of the chief instigators, of atro-cities which will make Europe shudder with horror.Mr. Romaine , the Deputy-Jiulge-Alvocate-Gcneral ,has received instructions to prepare a case againstthis man. There are several men to swear to hisidentity ; and , if it can be satisfactorily proved thathe has committed the acts laid to his charge, he willbe swung on a gibbet in front of the walls of Sebas-topol . lie is a baron—a man of rank—and it issuspected he has already used the gold which wasleft on his person to purchase silence.

A NOTHER G A T.I.AN T IRTSUMVS .—The light divi-sion , or the portion of it in action , was, as usual ,foremost in the fray. Some of the officers had moslwonderful escapes. In the 83th regiment MajorMaxwell's horse was shot under him , in front of the.enemy's column. Lieutenant Crosse and LieutenantBayncs were surrounded by a body of Russians, whoattacked them with the bayonet, although they wereboth wounded. Mr. Baynes miraculously escaped.Mr. Crosse was surrounded by four Russians, whothought to make sure work of him. He shot thetwo in front of him with his revolver, and a privatenamed Oalaghan rushed out of the ranks, shot oneof his remaining assailants dead , bayonetted theother, and , taking up Mr. Crosse in his arms, ranback with him to the rear of the regiment and placedhim in safety. Out of four weak companies the SStltlost M0 men killed and wounded, and they wouldmost likely have been cut to pieces but for the gal-lant charge of a party of their comrades of the 77th ,under Major Straton. She 33d regiment lost ;58 outof less than 300 men. Mr. Donovan , brother ofCaptain Donovan of this regiment , who was attach-ed to the 33d at the battle of the Alma, where hedisplayed great gallantry, has received his commis-sion from her Majesty for his behaviour . in the field.

Colonel Yea, Captain Rose, and one other officer ,whose name I don 't remember, are the only officersnow serving with the 7th Fusiliers who were at theAlma and at Inkerman with the regiment. Sir T.Troubrid ge lost both legs above the ankle. Capt.Butler, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, was kill-ed. He was brother of Captain Butler, who so distin-guished himselfat Silistria .and fel l just before the siesewas raised. Poor Butler! Two brothers have thus laiddown their lives in the cause. He was shot through thehead , and when I saw his body there was a placidsmile on his face, as though he slept. For a longtime it was thought that Captain Gordon, of theEngineers, had fallen ,, nnd Captain Butler 's bodyhad actually been removed to that officer 's tent be-fore the mistake was discovered. It was in theheight of the sanguinary struggle which the Guardshad to maintai n alone with the enemy that he wasshot. The brigade lost 14 officers killed, but thewonder is that any escaped the murderous fire di-rected on their position. The carnage at the Almadid not present anything like the scene round theSandbag Battery, which is placed on a steep descenttowards the Tchernaya. The piles of dead herewere frightful. Upwards of 1,200 dead and dyingRussians lay behind and around in front of it, andmany a bearskin cap and tall English Grenaiier laythere too, with frequent corpses of French Chasseurand infantry soldier.

THE FRENCH CHARGE.While the Guards were at their utmost need the

French columns moved down impetuously on theexulting enemy, and , taking them in the flank ,forced them back along the side of the hill underthe fire of our divisions. The allies charged them,and hailed ball and shot into them with deadly ef-fect. The enemy, though supported by the fire oftremendous artillery, could not withstand us, andbefore 11.45 a.m. their army was retiring before8,500 British and 9,000 French infantry, and at12.35 they were in full retreat towards Sebastopol ,covered by their guns.

AN ASSAULT DV THE FRENCH .A little before this time I had ridden up to an ad-

vanced picket-house of ours, which commands aview of the French lines and of our right attack. Ifound there Mr. Layard, who is still an anxious andeager amateur out here, and a group of officers ,looking down from the front on the town, which wassmiling freshly in the returning sunshine, and talk-ing of an expected assault by the French. Sudden-ly a sharp, crashing rattle of musketry, which camedistinctly to our ears through the roar of the cannon,was heard on the left towards the Flagstaff Batteryin tront of the French lines. Through the glass Icould see the caps of some French troops who wereadvancing fro m the last parallel by a wall, whichseemed to me inside the town. « Hurrah," was thecry, « the French are in the place!" In a momentalterwards the Russians could be made out runningas hard as they could from the rear of the FlagstaffJattery down toward* the houses at the side of the

iirst harbour, and ere th ree minutes elapsed one !two r three ! up shot pillars of dust and dark smokeinto the air. The Russians had sprung three minesinstde the work. In less than two minutes more twomore mines were sprung. The musketry ceased,the smoke cleared away, revealing a mass of ruinsand broken timbers, and beams of cottages, and pre-sently the guns in front of the Flagstaff Batterypened on the French, and destroyed all our hopes

that there had been a successful assault. I heard

this.evening-that ihe_Rusaiflna^fiad__made a sortieand traversed two parallels ere they-were repulsedand that the French followed 'them closely to thetown. It is probable thai "the Russians fired themines to prevent pursuit, fearing they mfght enterthe place along with them. ¦ The French buried 200dead Russians: before sunset, and have 80 more infront of their lines to bury to-morrow.

THE USE OP THE AMERICAN INVENTION .The revolvers carried by our officers saved theit

lives on several occasions this day. When CaptainNicholson, of the- 77th; was lying on tho ground' hewas bayonetted by a Russian. The Colonel imme-diately shot the scoundrel dead. Ensign Butts, ofthe 77th, wus taken prisoner by a Russian, who madehim hide himself in the bush as his regiment wentpast, by keeping his cocked firelock to his head.The young fellow watched his chance, and shot hinidead with his revolver, getting off in safety to tejoinhis regiment. Our men were very ^S^gUmtini-tion. The Guards in particular e*ffijjJ3JpfiftT theirsvery soon. What was the cau,***">i£2fli8? xheysurely did not fire their 50 rounds a^uan.

NOVEMBER 6.Parties of men were out late last night and early

this morning searching the hill-side for woundedmen and prisoners. Several wounded guardsmenwere not found till this morning and afternoon in theplaces where they had rolled down among the bush-es in their struggle with the enemy. It is very re-markable that we do not find in our enemy 's armyof the 5th of November, many of the divisions whichfought against us on the 20th of September. Wherewas the 32d division.'with which we were principallyconcerned in the bloody charge up to the battery onthe hil at the Alma? Where were the 12th, 31st,and 18 th divisions on the 5 th of November ? Theywere present at the Alms, but they were not visibleat Inkermann. The Russian Generals who are hereaccording to the statemets of the prisoners and deser-ters, are Menschikoff, Gortchakoff, Osten-SackenLuders, Villebois, Liprandi , Lewtsky, DannenbergSoimonoff, Pauloff, Zalifkin. The last-named Ge!neral was killed early in the day. Two other Gene-rals were wounded.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERY.The men resembled those we met at the Alma, and

were clad and firmed in the same way. We saw noinfanty with helmets, and our soldiers were disap.pointed to find the Russians had, in post cases, comeout without their knapsacks. Their persons werevery cleanly, and the whiteness of their faces andof tiieir feet was remarkable. Few of them had sockson , and marauders, w ho everprowl over a battle-field ,had removed thuir boots whenever they were worthtaking. Our soldiers and sailor3, as well as theFrench , look out with avidity for a good pair ofRussian boots , and are quite adepts in fitting them-selves to a nicety bj ' their simp le mode of measure-ment. Many of the men had silver medals andribands striped green and white for " the campaignof 1849 in Transylvania." They were generallycarried inside tin cases about their persons. Officersand men wore the same long gray coats, the forineibeing alone distinguishabl e by the stri pe of gold laceon the shoulder. Their uniform coatees, of darkgreen with white facings and red and yellow trim-mings, were put on underne ath the great-coat. Aconsiderable number of the Lioge double-groovedrifles were found on the fii-ld. Many of the muskeUbore the date of 1811, and had evidentl y been flintguns originally, but had been altered into detonators.The bayonets are long, but are not well steeled.—They bend if rudel y handled or struck wit'i forceagainst the ground. The long and polished gun-barrels are made of soft , but tou<y 'i inui. They canbe bent to an acute angle without splitting. Fromthe trigger-guard of each musket there is a thon "depending, fastened to a cap of slimt leather , whichis put over the ni pple in wet weather. This seems asimple and useful expedient.

It is again asserted—and I sincerel y believe withtruth—that the dying and wounded Russians killedmany of our men as they passed on towards the frontagainst the retreating enemy. For this reason oursoldiers .smashed the stock and bent tlie barrel ofnearly every firelock they came across. Some,however, carried bundles of them off the field , aswell as heaps of Liege riflos , and of a heavy, thicksword with a saw-hack, carried by the Grenadiers orartillerymen , which they sell to the captains andsailors of merchantmen , or to those who arc anxiousfor mementoes of the fi ght. Medals, ribands, thesmall brass crucifixes , and pictures of saints, nndcharms found upon the dead , are also in great re-quest. There is a regular tariff of prices—medal,from 5s. to 20s., according to size; riband , a dollar;crucifix , a dollar ; pictures, according to size, drol-lery, and ugliness, from 2s. Gd. to 10s. ; charms, Is.(3d. ; firelocks , ?,0;.; rifles, 50s. ; swords, 20.?. Thefield is visited by shoals of people from Balaklavaevery day.

THE COMMISSAR TAT.Mr. Commissary-General Filder deservc3 the greatest

praise for his exertions in supplying our men with food.The stories which hava been circulated respecting theinsufficiency and irregularity of the supply of meat, bi«-cuit, and spirits, nre boso calumnies. No army was eyerted with more punctuality, and no army, I believe, wasever so well fed under such very exceptional circum-stances as those in which we arc placed. The writerswlio describe the Sontben Crimea as a land flowingwiih milk and honey forgot that to us it is a forbiddenEden, and Hint the Cossack stands at the gate to bar ourapproach . Wo have eaten up everything edible withintil* prec'.n's of the little angle of which we maintain pos-session by force of arms ; the hay has been consumed, thevegetables have been consumed, the grapes have beenconsumed—nay, the very leaves have been boiled forlooJ.nu'l tho vtues used for fuel ; the cattle and sheephave been consumed, and we are now masters of a hugecamp as sterile ni a rock, and from which the last vestigaof shrub or treo will soon disappear under the camp ket-tle. We are fol by Ifalaklava alone ; thence comes ourdaily bread. It has to be carried out day by day,andyet no man in this army has ever beca without his poundof good biscuit, his pound and a half or ponn l of goodbeef or mutton , his quota of coffee, tea, rice ami sugar, orhis gill of excellent rum , for any one day, except it hubeeu through bis own neglect We draw our hay, oarcorn, our beof,o'ir mutton, our biscuits, spirits and ne-cessaries of all kinds from beyond sea. Kupatoria mp-plies ns with cattle and sheep to a moderate extent ; bat[he commissariat of the army depends, as a general rule,on sea carriage. Nevertheless, large as are our adna-tages in the excellence and regularity of tlie sapplr offood, the officers and men had to undergo great printkras.The oldest soldiers here never witnessed or lleard of acampaign in which General officers were obliged to;liT»out in tentu on the open field , for the want of a roof locover them, and Generals who passed their youth hi thtPeninsular war, and who have witnessed a good de»l offighting since that time in various parts of the world, awunanimous in declaring that they never knew or wad of*war in which the officers were exposed to such hardships.The officers are in rags. Guardsmen who were "the beltsty le of men''' in the Parks now tu rn out in coati andtrousers and boots all seams and patches, torn ia'all di-rections, and mended with more vigour than neatness,and our smartest cavalry and line men are models ofingenious sewing and stitching. The men cannot grmnWlat old coats; boots, or shoes, when they sea thelrofficsi*no better off than ourselves. We have oat here " »Mlei-iug with the gilding off," and many a young gtntltmuwould bo for evor cured of his lo?e of arms if ke eouMbut see one day's fighting and have one day's par&ds ofthe men who do it.
