THE YEAR 1855 bids fair to be one of the mostimportant and eventful of modern history. On

the Gth of January, 18.">5, will bo issued the first num-ber of a new volume of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON : NEWS,and not merely a new volume , but of a New Year—eachvolumo being perfect and complete in itsef— containing,for the time, a faithful record, pictorial and descriptive ,of all Events of interest in every part of the world. Tothat limited portion of the Public wlio do not subscribeto this Journal , it may bo stated , that no period couldbe selected more opportune for commencing, —the wholeexpense being but Twenty-six Shillings per annum , ex-clusive of double numbers, which aro issued qn rareoccasions, when it would be impossible to crowd the im-portant events and Engravings into a s'ngle number; forthis 6maII sum the Subscriber will receive twenty-fourlargo Pages —sevent j -two columns—of the most interest-ing information, carefully solecteil from the News of thoWeek, interspersed with a variety of charming Articleson the chief topics of the day.

The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEW3 has, by its impartialauJ consistent advocacy of the welfare of the Public, se-cured for icself a political influence scarcely second to anyNewspaper in the Empire ; and reference can, with somepride , be made to the support afforded to all beneficialmeasures proposed and adopted by the English Par-u ment.

Fortign Politics will ever command the attention whiohought to be devoted to so important a feature of a News-paper. On the question of the Russian War, during theyear 1854, ONK THOUSAND ENGRAVINGS ap-peared iu the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. Extensivearrangements, calculated to improve this popular Jour-nal, and engagements, such as will greatly enrich itsLiterary, Scientific, and other departments, have becumade, and will thus combine on this Paper the greatesttalent of the day.

The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS has been establishedthirteen years, during which period it has r«ceivi-d agreater degree of encourngeroent aud approbation tlmunny Journal ever published. This is proved by the Re-turns of Stumps issued from time to timo by order ofParliament. The stamps applied for the first six mouthsof 1854, was upwards of 2,734,000—showing a IVKr.'fv -LY CIRCULATION of UPWARDS of ONE HUN-DRED and THIRTY THOUSAND COPIES !

Tryon , wasdirected , on the ni ght of the 20th , to dislod ge theenemy ; and this service was performed most gal-lantl y and effectivel y, but with some loss both inkilled and wounded , and at a cost of the life of Lieut.Tryon , who rendered himself conspicuous on theoccasion , who was considered a most promising ofli-cer, and held in the highest esteem by all.

" The Russians attempted several times to establishthemselves on the ground before day-light on the21st; but they were instantl y repulsed by Lieut.Bourchier, the senior survey ing ollicer of the party,nnd it now remains in our possession. This littleexp loit was so hi ghly prized by General Canrobertthat he immediatel y published a " Genera l Order "announcing it to the French army, and combiningwith it a just tribute to the gallantry of the troopsnnd the expression of his deep sympath y in the regretho felt for the loss of a young otlieer of so much dis-tinction.

"M Y LORD D LKF.— On the night of the 22d , andon the following morning, shortl y before day light ,the Russians renewed their endeavors to get posses-sion of the ground they had been driven from , butthey were repulsed on each occasion in the mostspirited manner—in the first instance by a detach-ment of the -hh Foot , under Lieut.Patrick Robinson ,nnd a working party belong ing to the 57th vegt. ;in the last instance, by the detachment of the -ithFoot.

" There has since been no movement of import-ance on the part of the enemy. The weather hasbeen very bad , and the camp and the country arc,in consequence of the rain , in a most unsatisfactorystate. The men are, however , endeavoring, and withmuch success, to shelter themselves with the stonesthat are found in the vicinity ot the encampment ,and every effort is making to provide them with thematerials for hutting themselves, but the conditionof the roads renders this a matter of extreme diffi-culty. It is gratify ing to me to be able to assureyou , that notwithstanding their privations, their ex-posure to the weather, and the constant labor re-quired of them , they exhibit the same cheerfulness ,the same ardour in the discharge of their duty, asthey have manifested throughout the extensive ope-rations in which they have been engaged.—I have ,&C , "R.Uif.A.V."

GENERAL CANROBERT 'S DESPATCHES" licl'iirc Srliaslojinl , Nov. "i'lth.

" The weather has set in with rain. Our transportsof every kind , and our operations before the placeare, in consequence , much inconvenienced. Never-theless the consummation of our new batteries , and theimprovement of our olA ones, are j retting on with con-siderabl e activity . It is not cold , and the Russianarmy must suffer more than we do from the rain.The task of provisioning it alone—the roads havingbecome scarcel y passable—is a very hard one. We ,on the contrary, are amply supp lied. The fleet hasfound shelter."

A despatch from Gen. Canrohert , dated Nov . 2S,states that Prince Mcnschik ofl'wa.s streng thenin g hisposition , but showed no sign of a new attack ; thatreinforcements were arriving daily ; that provisionswere coming in abund antl y ; and that the men werein excellent sp irits. Winter clothing for the vest ofthe troops have come in. The Turkish Governmenthad promised (!,00() conical tents to replace thoseblown down by tin; gale. General Canrobert con-cludes this , in every respect checvin-j r report , bystating that ec places the hi ghest confidence in themen under his command.

A despatch from Admira l llninelin , also datedNov. 2Slh , announces that , chiefl y from the llrnriFour///, 3,000 French troops landed on the 20th,with 500 marines to serve with them.

" Hef.irc S<-li:istopn). Dec. 3." The rain is coming down in torrents. Our road

is cut up—our trenches full of water , and all ouroperations arc like lost , and all our works are sus-pended. The enemy is immovable from the samecauses. N otwithstanding these trial• > , the wimilc ofall is excellent , and we hold ourselves ready to re-commence our operations as soon as the weather andthe stato of the roads will permit us.

NAVAL OPERATION SThe Admiralty have received .1 report, dated ,

Straits of Kcrtch , Nov . 17, l .S">1, from Captain Car-nagie, of her Majesty 's ship Tribune, statin ".' that onSunday, 12th Nov., lie, with the Tribune, Highf lyer.and Lynx, attacked a large martello tower, whichcommands the coast road fro m Anapa to Kcrtcha ,on the coast of Circnssia. She anchored at a dis-tance of nine hundre d yards from the beach , andopened a fire upon the place, which , in a shorttime, compelled the garrison to leave it. Some nfthe seamen and marines were immediatel y landed ,and completed the destruction of the place by lire.The tower, with two guns, ammunition , &c, wasblown up, under the direction of Captaim Moore , ofthe Jf iqtiflycr , and in the performance of this service*that officer was slightl y wounded , and LieutenantE. Smithctt , of the Trilmm; was severel y woundedby the explosion. _ _ ,

The landing was effected without trouble , but thesurf rose high and with such rapidity, that it was•with difficulty the boats wore enabled to rejoin theirships.

THK H U R R I C A N E IN THE l'.LACK SEA.(From tin- Tim.-x spe cial Correspondent).

CAMI > i!F.:oni: Sr.r.ASToroi. , Nov. I I . —Tit s campwas visited by n hun :e;mc to-d.-.v. It commencedshortl y after G o'clock , n. in., and was prccuued byrain and «qualls frnin S.W. and S.S.U .

For about an hour I had been in a listlcsi statebotwecn walking and sleeping, listening to the pelting<if the rain against the fluttering canvas of the tent ,or dodging the strcamsof water which flowed under-neath it, saturating our blankets nn d collecting onthe macintosh sheets in pool -. Gradual ly the

sidrs of the canvas , which were tucked in under bigstoies to secure them,|begiin to rise and flutter , ppv-ini u it i '.' the wind to enter play full y nnd drive beforeit sheets of rain right into one 's face ; the groundhaii io-st its character of solidity, and pools of mudmarked the horse anil cattle tracks in front of thefen!?. Mud—an d nothing but mud—H ying beforethe , wind and drifting as thoug h it were rain ,covcri-d the face of the earth a; far a-* it was visible.Meanwhile the storm fiend was coining, terrible andstrons; as when he smote the bark of the ancientMariner. At every fresh blast the pole nf the tentplayed and bent like a salmon rod ; the canvastugged at the ropes to pull them up, and the pegsyielded gentl y, A startling crack ! I looked at mycompanions, who seemed determined to shut out allsound and sense by piling as much clothes as theycould collect oi-er (heir heads. A roar of wind , andthe pole bent till the fatal "crack" was heard again." Get up , Doctor ! up with you ; K , the lentis coming down !" The Doctor rose from beneathhis tumulus of clothes. He looked at the pole bland-ly, as he looks at all things, put his hand out , andshook it. " Wh y, man ," said he , reproachfull y, " it 'sall right—that pole would stand for ever ," and thenhe crouched down under his bedclothes. Scarcel yhad he given the last convulsive heave of the blan-kets which indicates perfect comfort and satisfaction ,sullen a harsh screaming sound , increasing in vehe-mence as it approached , struck us with horror. Asit passed along we heard the snapping of tcnt-polcsand the sharp crack of timber and canvas. On itcame, " a mighty and a strong wind ;" the pole,broke oil" short in the middle , as if it were gl-ms , andin an instant we were pressed down and half stifledby the heavy fold* of the wet canvas , which beat usabout the head with the greatest fury. Half breath-less and blind, I struggled for the door . Such asi ght as met the eye ! The whole head-quarters campwas bcatun flat to the earth , and the unhappy occu-pants were rushing through the mud in alldirctions inchase of their effects and clothes, or holding on by thewalls of the enclosure as they strove to make their wayto the roofless and windowless barns and stables forshelter.

Dr. Hall's tent , close at hand , was levelled ; andthe princi pal medical ofiicer of the British itrin ymight be seen , in an unusual state of perturba tion ,seeking for his garments ere he took to fli ght. liri-gadier Estcourt , with mien for once disturbed , heldon , as sailors say, "like grim death to a backstay ,"by one of the shrouds of his marquee. Capt. Cliet-wode, in drawers nnd shirt , was tearing throug h therain and through the dirt like a maniac after a capwhich ho fancied was his own , and which he found ,after a desperate Vun , was his sergeant 's. Tlic airwas filled with blanket s, hats, great coats, littlacoats ,andevcn tables and chairs ! Macintoshes , quilts ,Indiarubl ier tubs , bcd-clothcs, sheets of canvas, wentwhirling like leaves in the gale towards b.'bnstopol.As instances of the force of the wind , I maymention that large arabas, or waggons, which stoodclose to us, were overturned ; that men and horseswere knocked down ami rolled over and over ; thatthe ambulance-waggons were turned topsy-turvy ;and that a large and heavy table in Captain Chct-wode 's tent was lifted off the ground , whirled roundand round till the leaf flew off, and then catnc tomother earth deprived of a leg and seriousl y injured.The face of the country was covered with horseswhich had torn away from the pickets. Nearly onehalf of our cavalry horses broke loose. The French ,flying for shelter, swarmed ncross the plains in alldirections seeking for the lee of old walls or banksfor protection from the blast. The cry was allthroughout this dreadful dav , " Let us go at thetown ; better far that we should have a rush nt thebatteries and be done with it than to stand bore tobe beaten by the storm." One regiment alone issaid to have presented some instances of an un-soldieilike and disorderl y disposition , and that isone some of whose officers ha' e lately been muchbefore the public. Not to digress too much , and toreturn to the pleasant coup d'aeil before us this morn-ing, let the reader imagine the bleakest common in.ill Eng land , the wettest bog in all Ireland , or thedreariest moor in all Scotland , overhung by leadenskies, black as ink and lashed by a tornado , sleet ,snow, pelting drizzle nnd rain—a feur broken stonewalls and rootless huts dotting it here and there,voads turned into torrents of mud or water across it ,and than let him think of the condition in whichmen and horses must have been placed in such aspot on a November morning, suddenl y deprived oftheir frail covering, and exposed to bitter cold andwet , with empty stomachs and not the remotestprospect of obtaining food or shelter till the stormceased. Think of the men in the trenches, and co-veting parties , the patrols , and outl y ing pickets andsentries, who had passed the night in storm anddarkness , and who returned to their camp onl y tofind fires out and tents destroyed. These were themen who dared 1iot turn their backs for a moment ,who could not blink their eyes, on whose vi gilancethe safoty of our position depended , and many ofwhom had been for eight or ten hours in the rainand cold. Thesu arc trials which demand the ex-ercise of the soldier 's highest qualities. Our offi-cers and soldiers , after a day like this , had todescend to the (ivt'cJicsagain at night to look out fora crafty foe, to labour in the mire and ditches of theworks—what fortitude and high courage to do allthis without a murmur and to bear such priva tion *and hardshi ps with unflinchin g resolution ! Wehear that the hosp ital tents are all down , and thatthe sick have hail to share the fate of the healthiestand most robust. On turnin g towards the rid ge onwhich the large and imposing wooden structuresbuilt by the French for hosp itals and storehouseswent creeled , a few scattered p lanks alone met the.eye. The wounded of the iith of November , who tothe number of several hundred were in these build-ings, had to bear the inclemency of the weather aswell as they- could. Several succumbed to its effects.In every direction fresh scenes of wretchedness metthe eye. Insido the commissariat yard , over-turnedcarts, dead horses, and groups of shivering men wereseen—not a tent standing. Mr. Cookesley had totake refuge among his stores , and was no doubt gladto Jind i!, even amid salt pork and rum puncheonsNearer to us 1 lu-isar horses were dead and dy ing fromtin- cold. With chattering teeth and shivering li ' ii bseach man looked at his neighbour. Lord Raglan 'shouse, with the smoke of its fires steaming away fromthe chimneys , and its white walls standing out freshl yagainst the black sky, was indeed " the cynosure o'fneighbouring eyes." Our generals ' marquees were:ts incapable , of resisting the hurricaeo as the belltent * of the common soldiers. Lord Lucan was seenfor hunt's sitting up to his knees in slud ge amid thewreck of his establishment , meditative as M.-iviusamid the mins of Charlhaoc. Lord Cardigan wassick on hoard his yacht in the harbour of I3:ilaklava.The. onl y persons whose tents had weathered the gale ,as far as I could hear , were Mr. Romanic , DeputyJud ge-A-lvocate-Genenil ; Licnteii ant-Co loiiL'l Dick-son , Royal Artillery ; and Captain Woodford. Theywere hosp itable spots, those tents—oases in thedesert of wretchedness ; many a poor half frozenwanderer was indebted almost for life to the shelterhe there received. While all this writing is noingon , pray never loose sight of the fact , as you sit overyour snug coal fires at home, that fuel is nearly allgone here, and that there are savage fi ghts , evenin fine weather , among the various domestics, for aa bit of shaving" or a fragment of brushwood. Neverforget that all this time the storm is raging with in-creased violence , and that from half-past 6 o'clocktill late in the day, it passed over the camp, with th efury of Ar.rael, vexing and buffeting every livingthing and tearing to pieces all things inanimate.NO\T and then a cruel gleam of sunshine absolutel yshot out of a rift in the walls of clouds , nnd render-ed the misery of the scene more striking.

Towards ten o 'clock matters wen; looking morehopeless and cheerless than ever , when n welcomeinvitation came throug h the storm fur us to go overto the shelter of a well protected tout. Our fuatduty was to aid th e owner in securing the pole with" a fish" of stout sp.ir.-f . Then we aided in passingout a stay from the i- in nf the pnl" to ll ie wall infront , and in •'' slnirl l imo aftorw ards :i pup of wap ntea w:is set before, us pr ovided by siiino i . isr n il iib ' ech ymNtr y, .'ind with excellent ratinn biscuit nndsome butter , a delicious meal , :is much m-eded as itwas quite unexpecte d , was made by my (Vii 't ids nndmyself, embittered only by the cver-recurrinjr reflec-tion , " God hel p us, what will becntn t * of the poorfell.nv j in !.'ic trcnch '.'S and or) Die hill !" Ani l therpwo sat , th ink in g and talking of the soldiers and oftlie fleet , fur hmn- after hour, while the wind andrain blew and fVll.

Towards 12 o'clock the wind , which Iia l beenblowing from th :1 south-west , chopped round mnro tothe west and bec ;une much colder. Sleet fell first ,and then came a snowstorm , which clothed the deso-late landscape i'i white , till the tramp of men seatne.lit with trail? of black mud. The mountain ranges" ar,3unicd t livir winter garb." French soldiers , in

great depression of spirits , flocked about our head-quarters and displayed their stock of sorrows to us.Their tents were all down nnd blown away—nouhance of recovering them ; their bread was " toutmoiiille cl gale," their rations gone to the dogs.—The African soldiers seemed particularl y miserable.Poor fellows ! several of them were found deadnext morning outside the lines of our cavalry camp.We lost several men also. In the Light Divisionfour men were " starved to death," by the cold.—Two men in the 7th Fusiliers, one man in the:Wd , and one man of the 2d Battalion Rifle Brig-ade , were found dead. Two more of the samedivision have died1 since, and I greatly fear near-ly an cqtnl number have perished in each ofthe other divisions. About forty of our horses alsodied from the severe cold and wet , and many willnever recover that fatal day and night. Through-out the day there had been very littl e filing fromthe Russian batteries—towards eveninsr all was silentexcept the storm. In the middle of the night, how-ever, we were all awoke by one of the most tremen-dous cannonades we had ever heard , and , after atime, the report of a rolling fire of musketry camedown on the wind. Looking eagerly in the direc-tion of the sound , we saw the flashes of the cannonthrough the chinks in the roof, each flash distinctby itself, ju st as a flash of lightning is seen in all itslength anil breadth through a crevice in a windowshutter. It was evident there was a sortie on theFrench lines. The cannonade lasted for half-an-hour , and graduall y waxed fainter. In the morningwe heard that the Russians had sallied out fromtheir comfortable warm barracks on the French linein the trenches, but that they had been received withan energ y which quickl y made them fly back againto the cover of their guns. It is said that theFrench actuall y got into a part of the Russian linesin chasing their troops back , and spiked some of theguns within an earthwork battery .

SKCOXD LETTER FUO.M A KILLAKN'EV MAN'.We have no doubt but the following letter , the se-

cond we have published , from William Counihan , aKillarncy man , a soldier of the -list regiment , whois after returning from the Crimea , with wound?, tothe Scutari hospital , will bo of interest to ourreaders :—

Nota Russian ever escaped, for they wore shot .ml ktyoncicdto a man ; but the colonel dicdof Ins wound tlio d.iy after.We had five more of our ollicxrs killed and six wounded ,with about 200 men. All our divisions arc the same , sowe can't grumble. Throe or four of our coucruls werowounded and (icncral Cathcnrt killed. The Russians,to the number of fifty thousand , came out of Sebastopol ,having boon reinforced from Odessa , and attacked ourout-lying pickets , which they beat back ; for what couldthree or four hundred men do against fifty thousand ?They then attacked the li ght of our army, where my di-vision aro stationed , commanded by General Do LacyICvans. Tho regiment* are very weak now, tlic wholedivision not numbering more than four thousand , whichwas a very little lot to stand against the columns thoRussians broug ht to bear upon us. But we did standand beat them back, column after column. W lien wecould not do it with our fire , we did it with our bayonets ,and kept the hill in spite of all the guns they could bringto Vjf ar upon us, which they did up to one hundrod , andall the men in llussia could mH take it until cveiy manof us was killed or disable I. Three times they mountedthe hill with the weight of their columns alone , and ;isoften wero they driven hack by our fire and with tlicbayonet until fibout noon , when two divisions of omy andthc s'\ine number of French reinforce 1 us , with tin * fieldguns of the whole army, which drove the e;iorny backabout tour o'clock, when we captured 14 L;ins anil abni t400 prisoners.

LnsDos, Tuesday Krruing.Parliament was opened this day, at a quarter past

two o'clock , by the Queen in person. Tho weatherwas fine , and her Majesty was well received on theroute. The Mouse of Lords was very crowded.

The royal speech is as usual brief and uncommu-nicative. It simply tells us that a treaty has beenconcluded with Austria from which advantages willbe gained ; but it is silent as to the nature of the.treaty . Here are the words as read by her Maje sty :

M Y LORDS A N D ( I K N T I .GMCN ,I have called you together at this unusual period

of the year, in order that , by your assistance, 1'iniytake Kt ich measures as will enable me to prosecute-tho great war in which we are engaged with theutmost vigour and effect.

I his assistance. I know will now be given , for Icannot doubt that you share my conviction of thenecessity of sparing no effort to augment my forcesnow engaged in the Crimea. The exertions theyhave made , and the victories they have obtained ,aro not exceeded in the brightest pages of our history,and have filled inu with admiration and gratitude.The efficient co-npera tion of the brave troops of myally the Kmperor of the French , and the glory ac-quired in common cannot fail to cement still moreclosely the union which happ il y subsists between thetwo nations.

It is wiih satisfaction that I inform you that, to-gether with tlic Kmperor of the French , I have con-cluded a treaty of alliance with the Emperor ofAustria , from which I antici pate important advan-tages in the common cause. 1 have also concludeda treaty with the United States of America , by whichsubjects of long and difficult discussion have beenequitabl y adjusted.

These treaties will be laid before you. Al-though the prosecution of the war will natural ly en-gage your chiuf a t t en t ion , I trust that other mattersof great interest and importance to the general wel-fare will noL be neg lected. 1 rejoice to observe thatthe genera l prosperity of my subj ects remains unin-terrupted.

The stute of the revenue afford! me entire satis-faction , and I trust that by your wisdom and pru-dence you will continue to promote the. progress ofagriculture , coiiiiucrc , and manufactures.

Gi:Nn.i:MKN or Tin: lloi. sr. or COMMONS ,In the estimates which will bo presented to you I

trust you will find that ample provision has beenmade for the exi gencies of the public service.

M Y JiOitn s AND G ENTI .E.MUN ,I rely with confidence on your patriotism and

public spirit. I feel assured that in the momentouscontest in which wo arc engaged you will exhibit tothe world the example of an united people ; thusshall we obtain the respect of other nations , and maytrust that by H>e blessing of God we shall brin gthe war to a >'»•¦ c< <! :! t •r snina t iim.

'I'll • lv:rl (if i') i-:i:i:\" avowed that it was not his in-tention , ;ijin ;i Hie present occasion , to move anyamendment to tl ic * address, or to disturb the unani-mity which prevailed upon this momentous question ;nnd in conclusion , he trusted that , sinking all parlydifferences, men of cvavy shade oC political opitiiui

would aid the government in their endeavors to prosecute the war with energy and vigour (cheers).

The address was agreed to. Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY .New writs were ordered for Limerick county, in

the room of Mr. Wyndham Goold ; for Antrim , inroom of Licut.-Col. Pakenham ; for Fermanagh, inroom of Sir A. 15. Brooke.

Major BEiicsFonn gave notice that this day weekhe would move for leave to bring in a bill to exemptthe property of all persons killed in the war from thepayment of succession duty.

THANKS TO THE ALLIED ARMIES.Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that on this day(Fri-

day) he should propose a vote of thanks to the alliedarmies. THE ADDRESS .

The royal speech having been read , the address inreply was moved by Mr. li. A. Herbert and second-ed by Mr. F. L. Gower.

Sir J. PAKINOTON said there could* be no opposi-tion to the increase of the army, which had been de-layel too long. He hoped the government wouldgive their whole attention to the war this session ,andnot divide it by domestic matters, such as the reformbill of Last session. Adverting to the IJaltic expedi-tion , he observed that , considering the power of thefleet and the courage of the sailors, some explana-tion was necessary, before the house could under-stand wh y nothing was done. With respect to theoperations of the Black Sea fleet , he remarked thatit was unwisa and imprudent to have spared Odessa ,and to have left the Russians free to send reinforce-ments and provisions to the Crimea, lie complain-ed that the government had , in the first place, sentout an insufficient force to the Crimea , that the armysent was uncared for and unsupported.

Sir R OIIEKT PF.EL defended the government , andblamed Sir J. Pakiugton for attacking their policyat a limo when we were rejoicing at the . success ofour arms nnd the bravery of our men.

iNfr. L.\y .-\ni> had no confidence in thegovcrnment;none of their operations had proved successful orfinal , because they had no definite policy. In hisopinion the onl y way to check Russia was by esta-blishing an independent king dom on the confines ofher territory.

Mr. DisiiAr.i.i observed that the speech fro m thet'irone was remarkable as the shortest he had everheard , and confined to one subject ; but it containedthe very important admission , that her Maje sty wasinvolved in a great war. The cabinet last sessionhad no idea that it was to be a great war ; and noministry had ever advised a sovereign to declare warunder such unfavourable circumstances as those oftho. declaration of war against Russia, and he askedthe hutise to consider what had been effected.

THE Ai.sTKiw rr.r .ATV.Lord J. Russia.!, said tha expedition to the Cri-

mea had been recommended by the Eng lish andFrench officers, and he himsel f was confident of thesuccess of the allies. The risk was necessaril y great ,but there was a great point to be gained , that was tosiy, the destruction of the Russian stronghold in theBlack Sen. lie remarked that .Sir C. Nap ier conhlnot have taken Cronstadt without the loss of ',} or 1line-of-battle ships which would have produced apanic in the country, whilst it would have been veryinjurious to our arms. Us did not think that Aus-tria had acted rightl y in delay ing so long to co-ope-rate with the western powers; Neither England norFrance had any fear of Russian invasion , but it wasnot so with regard to Austria. The emp'.Tor ofRussia had kept up a large army under tho name ofa peace establishment in Poland. The militaryforce of Austria was low, and the road to Viennawas open. Her first step therefore was to increaseher force. It was not until July that she informedus that her preparations were nearly ready. Hislion, friend the member for Aylesbury said it washeld out that Austria was going with us. Now, herecollected stating, in answer to Mr. Hume, thatAustria by no means pledged herself to go to war.She has not even now gone the length of say ing thatif peace was not made with Russia , she would merel ybe a belli gerent. She had only gone the length ofsaying that she would on certain events enter into atreaty offensive and defensive. She had likewiseagreed that , before the end of the year, she would de-termine the steps she would take with respect to Riusia.He understood that article to be, that if Englan.l andFranco proposed a treaty of peace on four bases,Austria would no longer hesitate , but would forman offensive and defensive alliance. lie did not wishto overstate this . It might be said by Austria thatit would reduce Russia too much , and she mightsay this , and act upon it ; but his belief was, thatshe did not concur with us in the basis of peace, andif Russia would not agree she would employ force.—It might bo said we should have got better term?.That was easy to say, but not easy to do. It wasbetter to enter into these engagements tlian to haveAustria against us, and that was still more strong lythe opinion of the Ivnpcror of the French.

The address was then put and agreed to, and thehouse adjourned at 20 minutes past two.

HOUSE OF COMMON'S—Wi:nsi'.sr>AV.Admiral W ALI .COTT expressed his gratificati on at

the mode in which the war had been , up to thispoint , conducted , and his confidence that it will , f orthr! future , be carried out with vigour and resolution.

Mr. P IW .I.ATT suggested the removal of tho stampduty on newspapers, nnd the substitution of a spe-cial war tax.

Sir H. Wii.LOL -fiHitY wished to know when thotreaty with Austria will be placed before parliament?

The Ci iAScr.i.Lou of the Excnr.<)ur.R defended themode in which the war had been prosecuted by theGovernment. The Government were sensible, of theinconvenience which arose fro m their not havingbeen able to lay before parliament the treaty whichhad been entered into between Eng land , France ,and Austria. That treaty, however, has not yetbeen ratified , and , until the ratification had been ex-changed it would be a departure both from the uni-form practice and from obvious prudence to produceit.

Mr. WuiT r.siDK blamed the Government for goingto war without suflieicnt revenues , and stated thatin Ireland at all events, there was no diff iculty inenlisting soldiers for the line.

Ttta M I L I T I A HILL.Lord PAr..\n:risTo.v moved for leave to bring in a

bill to enable the militia to volunteer for foreign ser-vice at those places whicli had been weakened by thewithdrawal of the regular troops. The places inquestion would be Malta , Gibraltar , the Ionian Is-lands , and the North American provinces. It wouldbe left lo the free will of each individual man tovolunteer or not as he choose ; the will of the major-ity of the regiment would not bind tho minority, butevery man to exercise his free will for himself.

The hill was broug ht in and read a firs t t ime , andwas to be read a second time yesterday (Thursday).

T1IF. LOSS ItV THE STO1 1M.Lord P.W.MKKSTOX staled , in rep ly lo Mr. Palk ,

that sevensy tons of winter clothing, valued at be-tween twenty and thirty thousand pounds, had beensent out in the unfortunate Prince, for the soldiers inthe Crimea. In answer to Lord Naas, his lordshi psaid that the Militia Bill would extern! lo Ireland.EXCLUSION OF THE SISTERS OK MUKCY 1 R0M THE DUB-

LIN HOSPITALS.Mr. OUSEI .Y HIUUI N S wished to ask tho Chief

Secretary for Ireland , whether it was with the sanc-tion of the Lord Lieutenant that flu Sisters of Mercyhad been latel y excluded from the hospitals underthe control of the government in Dublin ; and , ifnot with his sanction, if any steps had been taken tocause such order to be rescinded ?

Sir J OHN YOII .NO said that the order referred to bythe lion, member for Mayo had been made by theGovernor of the House of Industry, in exercise ofhis powers to frame regulations for the internalmanagement of that institution. It was not, however,a new order , but merely an enforcement of existingregulations , on account of abuses and comp laintswhich had arisen in consequence, of their relaxation ,and it did not appear that the Governor of the Houseof Industry had exceeded his authority by nowissuing on order to enforce those regulations.

Srr .AMnii s roa TROOPS .—The Neptune, 120 guns,and the ] ,vopartl, war steamer, arrived in Queens-town , on Wednesday, to embark troops for the Cri-mea. The 89th, from AVaterford, and the 17th, goout in the Leopard , and tho 72d in the Neptune.

TOO LATE TO REPENT.The Mail says that Mr. D ENNY , the Mayor, will

not accede to the wishes of those members of theTown Council who are desirous of shutting tho Soup-ers—or " Ragged School" people—out of tho TownHall. Mr. DK N X Y ia consistent in his principles,whilst some of those who now memorial him , arenot. Mr. DE K X V , no doubt , thinks the Soupershave a perfect right to their share of the Town Hallas well as other people; and ho has every right tohis op inion. But here arc men—the " humble me-morialists "—Roman Catholics—who were perfectlyacquainted with Mr. DE N N Y 'S notions on these andother subjects—and yet , with their eyes open , delibe-rately voted for Mr. D ENNY in opposition to Mr.FKEIIAN , only twelve month s ago. Now they go in-deed to tease, and beg, and beseech of their quon-dam friend , Mr. DENNY , to do that which , no doubt ,is hurtful to his feelings. Is this right ?—is it con-sistent ?—is it honest ? The man who voted for Mr.D F.NNY and knowing his principles, should not , inour opinion , complain of him afterwards. We con-ceive that Mr. Dr.NNv is not to blame in giving theroom , for he thinks he is justified in doing so. Butthe " Liberal" councillors who made him Mayorare, in our opinion , the men on whom all blameshould rest. Their names aro as familiar as " housc-luld words. "

THE COMPROMISE SYSTEM !We understand that a compromise has been already

effected , and that a thorough-going Conservativecandidate will positivel y be put forward as Mayorfor the year of our Lord 18.)0 ! Promises, we learn ,have been already made for that purpose, and tothat cud. This is rather a cool way of bartering anddisposing of the votes of the burgesses ! But so itis. We th ink it but right, however, to give thisearly intimation of the job. Time will tell whetherwe are mistaken or not. We think we have it fromthe very best sources. A compact has been made—the deed is perfected—the die is cast—the Conser-vative candidate for the mayoralty will come for-ward for the year 1836, when every hack in thecouncil is expected to be at his post—in support ofthe glorious , pious, and immortal princi ple of a" Coiiservalice every second year .'" To your'tents, ohIsrael !

Assiissoits.—Messrs. Michael Gaule, nnd DanielL. Com an , have been elected assessors for the South\\ ard, and Messrs. 'William F. Reynett (South Pa-v.ide) and James P. Graves, for the To ver Ward.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS-RESULTWe have every reason to rejo ice at the result of

the late municipal elections. The Liberals have woin three wards, or rather at three elections, whii,tthe Conservatives have absolutely gained nothineTo be sure they may claim Mr. Albert White ; butthen Mr. White supplies the place of one whom they(the Conservatives) acknowledged as their own sup-porter. The Liberals have returned three honest andindependent Liberals—men who are as trustworthyin trade as they are in principle—namely, MennKeily, Manning, and Freeman. And but for nl'gleet on the part of the candidate himself, a fonrtKwould have been added to the number by a msinr!ty of from ten to fifteen. Yet, the advance of theLiberal party has been very cheering, and strikingsuggestive of what is to follow. As a commencement an accession of//irwmeC^ very good. The hgesses, as a body, are sTnJj?|£i# honest, and only «"quire to be told theirduty>o execute it. We knovr thisfrom personal observation—we know they are welltired of trimmers—wo know they are openine theireyes to double-dealing—we know ihat /utch have nohol d in their confidence, and hence it is we nre cerfulent that , with due exertions, the Liberals will erelong, maintain their rightful and legitimate Influencein the Town Council of their fellow-citizens. Wbe«once the Liberals shall have turned the corner—andthey are now close to it—indeed we may say beyondit—we have no fears on our mind that time-serversand backsliders in the council will once more deemhonesty the best policy. In fact conservatism is nowin a minority in the council. But there is one thin"to which we would beg to draw earnest attention "viz.—the Liberals should never make promises tosupport any candidate for the mayoralty prior to apreparatory meeting of their own party. In Corkand other large cities and towns they manage thingsbetter than we do. We, instead of consulting ourfriends , throw ourselves on the friendship of our po-litical opponents. The Conservatives have theirparty—they sustain it—they adhere to it—theyabide by it—but the Liberals do not. Howeverthe time is approaching when desp ite false friendsand obstinate foes, we shall hat e a party, and asounder party in the council than ever we hadbefore.

The last election of mayor exhibited a miserablespectacle of the want of unanimity in the coun-cil. One candidate was princi pally sustained by theConservatives ; whilst two other candidates came for-ward supported almost exclusivel y by Liberals. Butsuch a want of union and arrangement possiblynever came before us on any previous occasion, ftwas pitiable—it was dep lorable. In Cork there waino such division—no «uch disunion. One of theLibera l candidates , seeing that he had no chance ofsuccess, retired in favor of the other ; but here twoLiberal candidates went to the poll together , andthen and there exhausted their last man. We trustthat this course of action , which leads to nothingexcept weakness , disaster , and defeat , will neveroccur at any future election of mayor iu this city

RETIRED OFFICERS FROM THE AR\nIn the last number of the Neu:< a letter appj arej

from a correspondent , strong l y anim ulverting uionsome gentlemen of our city who formerly held com-missions in the British aiwiy, during tin "palmiestdays of warfare," and served b'ltb in the peninsula,and on the fields of Qwttre ISrru, better known bythe generall y adopted nn'iie of Waterloo , fur not notvvolunteerin g their services to resume the srfortl intho Crimea , whera so many of their fellow-country-men and fellow-soldiers are placing additional ho-nors on their brow *, by p-.itting down the northerndespotic tyrant who wields the destinies of the greatempire over which he, unfortunatel y—by the abdi-cation of his brother—is tile ruler and the scourge.The writer of the letter alluded to, signed Justus , was,undoubtedl y, not well in l '.inmd on innny of the state-ment * he made, for we have since ascertained beyonda doubt , that every sing le person mentioned in hiscategory, a* being in recei pt of liar Majesty 's bounty—with one sing le exception—has not received afarthing out of the public purse for upwards oftwenty years, having, after the termination of thelate war, sold out of the army, —as they were per-fectl y ju stified in doing, their services being no long-er required ,—and became as much private citizens asany class in the community. The exception wehave adverted to is that of Colonel Snow, who is still ,we have been informed , receiving half-pay for. hi*former services, but who,—thoug h certainly not nown young man ,—gallantl y offered his services latelyat the Horse Guards, and said he was perfectlyready , able , and willing to take the field again , andlend his aid in putting down the Czar 's pretensions.Weshnuld observe, en passant , that Captain Newportone of the gentlemen named by J UNIUS ,,—after hav-ing devoted his youth and manhood to the servicesof his king and country, in the gallant 39th Regi-ment ,—has at present two sons in the same regiment—a grateful and gratuitous boon granted by theBritish Government in acknowledgment of theirfather " having done the state some service," andare now on their way to the Crimea—the slaughter-house, of the northern butcher. The younger—whoreceived his commission only some few monthsago—we recollect to have seen during the last sum-mer, wending his way to school ! VVe consider itwas not exactl y fair to send so young, and so unso-phisticated , a soldier , into the midst of such a sceneof carnage and massacre as he will be there doomedto witness ! Captain Newport 's third son, who holdsa commission in her Majesty 's na\'y, has just return-ed from the Baltic where he was serving in the fleetunder Sir Charles Napier. We have receivedthe subjoined letters on this subject , in replyto tho statements of JU N I U S , which we give withmuch pleasure , and which, doubtless, will prove toour correspondent that his censures, for apathy,want of courage and patriotism, were not wellfounded :

SISTI :RS OF MKRCY IN DUNGARVAN.( From the Tabht.)

We are confident that the sincere pleasure withsvhich svo notice tho establishment iu Dungars-an ,during tho past month , of a community of thosevenerated Sisters of Mercy, whose heroic membersnow move like so many angelic spirits administor iii "every comfort to tho sick and svoundod , and breath-ing peace and ssveet hope to the poor dy ing Catholicsoldier in the far cast , svill excuse the liberty withwhich svo advert to tho immediate cause of the in-troduction of those religious ladies to that tosvn .—We fear our observations ni'iy revive those beauti-full y soft and 'tender feelings of nature that alwaysdi gnif y tho hearts of tho good parent s, but svhonsve; svitness those same emotions that first svonld fillthe very spirit svith anguish , now rising to a decreeof noble resignation and fortitude , and than resolv-ing to change the parents ' sorrow and grief into anew manifestation of fondness, svo do confess ouisvishes to publish the same for the purpose of edif y-ing our readers, and offering the cordial tribute olour own admiration. Tho Sisters of Mercy havebeen established in Dungarvan by an cstoo nod andcharitable lady svhose onl y (laug htor , * beautifu lgirl , svas chosen by tho Lord for bis glory, andcalled off from this variable lift.", a short time since,in tho spotless bloom of her youth Had she lived—had she recovered from her illness, " she shouldhe a Sister of Mercy, " and spend her years in hel p-ing the distressed , "teaching little children , and giv-ing to the poor. A Sister of Mercy she svould be,and no other position or occupation , nor esroii itsthoug ht had ever taken possession of that ansclicmind. And her desire insp ired by heaven has boonrealised and rewarded , for Mr. Androsv Carbery,ever the first to patronis e every religious under-takin g, has granted the range of houses on theSouth Terrace lo bis worth y and benevolent consort ,and she has founded therein a convent of these hol ysvomen , as tho most appropriate monument to thememory of her happy and blessed child. The svorldand all the children of earth erect Ilia rich and coi--guous mausoleum over the graves of their friends ,and spare neither the golden nor llio costl y marblepile tn commemorate their fame ; but svo prefer,and bless, and rejoice in such a memorial as svespeak of—ono that svill remain to tho end a lastingpledge of a parent 's affection , and a dail y source ofconsolation and happ iness to all the destitute anddiving svithiu tho circle of those charitable functions ,so faithfull y fulfilled by tbo Sisters of Mercy.

OLD MEMORIES•" And haunted to our very age

With the vain shadows of the past."—[Byron

Like the cloudless shade at even.On ihe rippling waters breast ,

Or the pall that »huts out heaven—When the world sinks into rust:

IJWe a dirge of solemn sadnessWhere but joyous notes should be,

Like a smile devoid oi gladnessArc old memories to me.

And yet how thry are hoardedIn ntlertion's holiest shrine !

By no other hand recorded—They are graved for aye in mine:

Though n mournful sliade is o'er them—Though they old and tear dimmed be-

Still a faithful love restores them—These old memories—to rne.

MfettUaneaPUNCTUAL ITY .—It is astonishing how many people

there are who neglectpunctuality. Thousands havefailed in life from this cause alone. It is not only nserious vice in itself, but it is the fruitful parent ofnumerous other vices, so that he who becomes thevictim of it, gets involved in toils from which it isalmost impossible to escape. It makes the merchantwasteful of time ; it saps the business reputation ofthe lawyer, and it injures the prospects of themechanic, who might otherwise rise to fortune ; ina word there is not a profession, nor a station in life,which is not liable to the canker of the destructivehabit. It is a fact not always remembered, that Napo-leon's great victories were won hy inffusing into hissubordinates the necessity of punctuality to the min-ute. It was his plan to manoeuvre over largespaces of country so as to render the enemy uncer-tain where he was about to strike a blow, and thensuddenly to concentrate his forces and fall with ir-rcaistable power on some weak point of the extendedlines of the foe. The execution ot this systemdemanded that each division of the army shouldarrive at the specified time punctually ; for if anypart failed to come up, the battle was lost. It wasby imitating this plan that the allies finall y succeededin overthrowing the emperor. The whole Waterloocampaign turned on these tactics. At Mt. St. Jean,Blucher ivas punctual while Grouchy was not, andthe result was that Napoleon fell and Wellingtontriumphed. _

In mercantile affairs, punctuality is as importantas in military. Many are the instances tn whichthe neglect to renew an insurance punctually hasled to serious loss. With sound policy do the banksinsist, under the^enalty of a protest , on the punctualpayment of notes, for were they to do otherwise,commercial transactions woul d fall into inextricableconfusion. Many and many a time has the failureof one man to meet his obligations brought on theruin of a score of others, ju3t as the teppling downin a line of bricks, of the master brick, causes thefall of all the rest. Thousands remain poor all theirlivei, who, if they were more faithful in their word,would secure a large run of custom and -so maketheir fortunes. Bepuuctual , if you would succeed.

OLD NAPOLEON AND HIS MKN .—Marshal Junotentered the French army as a private soldier. Inone of the battles in Germany, when Napolaon com-manded in person, he wanted to send a dispatch toone of his generals, and asked if any of the soldierscould write. Junot replied in the affirmative ; andNapoleon accordingly desired him to step out to thedrum-head and write a dispatch which he (Napoleon)would dictate for him. While in the act of writingaball struck the ground, and scattered the dust aboutJunot nnd his battl e desk. " How fortunate !" saidlie, with great composure ; " I wanted sand to drymy letter, and I have been spared the trouble ofstooping to lift it." " You are a brave fellow," saidNapoleon ; " what way can I serve you ?" "In ha-ving these worsted knots (pointing to his shoulders)replaced by silver epaulettes," replied Junot. Therequest was granted, and from that moment Junotbecame the favourite of the Emperor. He roserapidly to the rank of general, was male Governorof Parii, &c.

MOTION .—Man has the power of imitating everymotion but that of flight. To effect this he has, inmaturity and health 60 bones in his head, CO in histhighs and legs, 62 in his arms and hands, and C7 inhi» trunk. He has also 434 muscles. His heartmakes 64 pulsations in a minute ; and, therefore,3,840 in an hour, 92,160 in a day. There arc alsothree complete circulations of his blood in the shortspace of one hour. In respect to the comparativespeed of animated beings and of impelled bodies, itmay be remarked that size and construction seem to•have little influence , nor has comparative strength,though one body giving any quantity of motion toanother is said to lose so much of its own. Thesloth is by no means a small animal , and yet it cantravel only 50 paces in a day ; a worm crawls only5 inches in 50 seconds, but a lady bird can fly 20million times its own length in Ics3 than an hour. Anelk can run a mile and u half in seven minutes ; anantelope a mile u minute ; the wild mule of Tartaryhas a speed even greater than that An eagle canfly 18 leagues in an hour ; and a Canary falcon caneven reach 250 leagues in the short space of 1Ghours. A violent wind travels 60 miles in an hour ;sound, 1,142 English feet in a. second.

DEXTERITY OF LOVE.—A young lady of Namur,of good family, having a gallant, was at a logs in con-ducting the correspondence which was to fix theirrepeated assignations. A hair dresser, not an un-usual messenger in love, was chosen as the agent ;but how escape the vigilance of her father, a widower,who had a perpetual eye on her conduct ? Singularas it may appear, the old gentleman's wig was chosenas the letter-box. He wore a bag, which his daughterused to take off every evening when he called for hisnightcap, and was sure to find a billet ftom herloreryrhich the hair-dresser had placed there in the morn-ing, when he affixed the bag, and which the oldgentleman had unsuspectingly carried about all theday. She had sufficient time to peruse it anil replaceher answer, which the hair-dresser withdrew in themorning, to deliver to her lover.

LEARNED ELEPHANT.—•" That's a wery knowinghanimal of yourg," gaid a Cockney gentleman to thekeeper of an elephant. " Very," was the cool re-joinder. " He performs strange tricks and hantics.""Does he?" said the Cockney, eyeing the animalthrough his glass. " Surprising, " retorted the keeper;" we've learnt him to put mouey in that box you secaway up there. Try him with 'half-a crown." TheCockney handed one to the elephant, and sure enoughhe took it in his trunk and placed it in a box highup out of reach. " Well that's wery hextraor-dinary—bastonishin' truly ! Now let us see himtake it out and hand it back. " " We never learnthim that," returned the keeper with a roguish leer,and then turned to stir up the monkeys and poke thehyenas.

GENERAL CANROBERT" There is, however, but one man the more, ' said

Louis XIV. on learning that Vcndome, scarcely ar-rived in Spain, had already re-established the affairsof France by the gain of a battle. In war, indeed,a valiant chief, supported by bravo soldiers , becomesthe giant Briarcus of the fable—the giant with hishundred arms, victorious over peril. It was a for-tunate chance for the Chasseurs d'Orleans whichgave them, on the 18th , Commandant Cunrobert astheir chief. The rapidity of his glance, the precisionof his order, his energetic example, the confidencehe had long inspired, rescued them from a positionof imminent danger. On the 18th the column ofOrleansville was established towards the south of theplateau of Bale. At half pnst two Colonel de StArnaud ordered two reconnoisances; one was con-fided to Commandant Canrobert , with orders to ad-vance towards the south-west. Some Spahis, to re-connoitre, and 300 infantry, formed the effective ofthis little troop ; but the good carabine* of theChasseurs enabled them to strike the Kabyles fromn distance, if they appeared ; or repulse them withthoAayonet if they approached. The Spahut per-xeij l no enemy ; and the detachment crossed theCWlBmet-Mour. On the right flank , the section ofClKWieefs which formed the avaiit garde were at-locfced; and attention was directed to that quarter,when , from a wooded hollow towards the left, bnrsta chorus of cries. At the same moment 2000 Ka-byles rushed furiously upon the Chasseurs. Com-mandant Canrobert rallied the section of the Carabi-neers, snd attacked the enemy. Surprised by hisaudacity, the latter hesitated, and our Chasseursgained the summit of a rocky and wooded plateau,adapted for a good defence, which might be held tillthe arrival of the reinforcements which the sound offiring would summon from Bale. To return wasimpossible, without sacrificing half the troops, andredoubling the confidence of the Kabyles. The ri-flemen formed an ambuscade, supported by two re-serves placed in readiness for action wherever re-quired. The Kabyle balls rained on the plateauwithout effect. The Chasseurs d'Orleans crouchedupon the ground, managed theirmunitions. and tooksure aim every cartouche carried death. The com-mandant encouraged, and with his words animatedthe soldiers. This desperate defence, however , irri-tated the Kabyles. In a kind of intoxication theypressed upon the troop, and endeavoured to engagethe soldiers hand to hand. They had then recourseto the bayonet, and the sabre decimated their wildopponents ; but the ranks suffered ; Gilmore andBomment, two brave sub-officers, had fallen ; eightcorpses were stretched in the littl e clearings, andtwenty wounded testified to the fierceness of thestruggle. Their courage augmented with the dan-;gcr. Sergeant Lajus, beholding the Chasseurs sur-rounded, advanced, disengaged them, fell twicewounded, and owed his life to the Trumpeter Danot,whose bayonet killed three Kabyles. The CaptainsEsmieu, Olagnier, Chopin, were at all points. Chiefsand soldiers awaited with firmness, and avengedtheir losses on tho enemy. Behind the counter-fortof the mountain echoed a trumpet, sounding thecharge, and repeating the air of the battalion. Itwas the company of Lieut. Bonnet, sustained by theinfantry of the line of Lieutenant-Colonel Clapcrede.Bonnet measured the ground at a glance; and, with-out waiting for orders, took the Kabyles in flank.—Believing their assailants were followed by the wholeforce of the camp, the Kabyles hesitated ; Comman-dant Canrobert observed their indecision. A com-pany was left in charge of the dead and wounded onthe plateau, and the remainder assumed the offensive,charged with the bayonet, broke the Kabyles, andmet the reinforcements half way. The united troopsthen r eturned for the dead and wounded ; and ontheir way to the camp, a last offensive movement ofCaptain Esmieu de Cargouet terminated the affair.The Trumpeter Danot, whose conduct was conspi-cuous on this ocdaion, remained in the oth Chas-seurs d'Orleans; on the 4th of December, 1851 , theday of insurrection in Paris, General Canrobert com-manded his ancient division ; desiring to have Da-not decorated, ho sent for him to sound the orders.At the Boulevard Pissonniere the Trumpeter stoodbeside his General's horse at the moment of thefiercest firing ; this excellent soldier, who had es-caped tho perils of the African campaigns, fell, struckby a French ball, at the feet of his chief, scarcelytwo yards distant from the house where his familyresided. Canrobert was especially remarkable forpresence of mind under critical circumstances. In1848, being then Colonel of tho Zouaves, he was onthe road to the post of Auniale-a-Zaatcha, to takepart in the siege. The cholera decimated his column:the march was painfully difficult, and the convey-ances were burthened with the dying. At theworst moment, the troops were menaced with anattack from the Nomades of the South : it was neces-sary to avoid an engagement, for there were notransport for the wounded. The Colonel immediate-ly made preparations for combat, and then, followedby his interpreter, advanced alone towards the No-mades, and thus addressed them : " Know that Icarry the plague with me, and unless j ou allow usto pass, me and mine, I will throw it over you."The Arabs, who for several days had tracked theprogress of the column by the newl y turned graveswere seized with terror, and, not daring to venturethe encounter, suffered them to pass. "If thytooth is small ," says the Arabian proverb, " arm itwith the viper's venom ; whether you can deal deathby strength or venom, death is death ; and there isbut one death." Canrobert adopted this device. Tostrike quickly and decisively, to be everywhere pre-sent , to choose accurately the military positionswhich commanded the country—thus inclosing thetribes under our yoke—to supply the want of num-bers by increased energy and activity—was the rulepursued in the winter campaign of 1815, when a verysmall body of troops, exposed to the severity of theseason, to the most terrible privations and incessantfatigues, could alone be spared to reduce the Dnrhato obedienep. • • • • • • It was the lasteffort of insurrection in the Darha. The chiefs ofthe A chachas entreated pardon and Marshal Bogeaudheard the good news from the mouth of Lieut.-Col.Canrobert himself. Through the glorious wintercampaign thus closed the old Marshal had again sub-dued the country. A legitimate pride animated .hiscountenance when he assembled the officers ofOrleansville before proceeding to Algiers. " Gen-tlemen ," he said, " an army that knows how to obey,an army that knows how to suffer and hope, is thestrength of the country. This winter has provedyour Value ; and the time will never come that findsyou wanting in your duty towards France." Timehas testified since that moment to the trnth of theMarshal's words.—Souvenirs de la vie Militaire enAf r 'wue.

COI 'F.HNICUS A CATHOLIC PRIEST .—We must boarin mind that this man , who thus introduced to theworld the present system of astronomy, was a Catho-lic priest, and not only a priest but one whose namewas forwarded to Rome as one of the resident Can-non* qualified by piety to fill the vacant see ofEineslatul, nor is it any reproach that another wasnamed to wear the mitre. In fact be was appointedon several occasions of the absence of the bishop toact as his vicar ; and this commission required bothprobity and courage, for he had to defend the rightsof the see against the encroachments of the TeutonicKnights, who, at that time, were very powerful. Hedid not allow himself to be dazzled by their author-ity, nor to be intimidated by their menacces. Thesedetails may seem unconnected with, and foreignfrom, the scientific glory of Copernicus, but theyshow that in his character, the spirit of study andcontemplation was united with firmness and con-stancy, qualities not less necessary than genius toattack and upset prejudices concentrated by thebelief of centuries, and, besides, they serve to placeprominently before you that Copernicus was a priestof the Church of Rome, for though wo hear and readso much of Galileo and the Inquisition , and of theapparent antagonism of the Church and science inhis day, we may open histories of astronomy, andperuse biographical sketches of men of science with -out number, without once meeting a single word ofallusion to his sacerdotal character.

Every Russian soldier carries round his neck ablessed cro»9, and under his boot, near his heel, hismoney; for this reason—as you walked over thefield at the close of the day, you saw the lovers ofbooty busily engaged undoing the shirt collar, andripping down the thick boots ; and some, I am sorryto say, were not contented .with this ; they strippedthe feet and backs of officers—not caring what thecountry of the dishonoured—of socks, flannels, cloaks,indeed of any the smallest useful article. .

THE IRISH IN AMERICABALL OF THE MEAOHER CADETS. ELOQUENT SPEECH

OF THOMAS F. MEAGHER.The annual ball of the Meagher Cadets, Captain

Heuston , took place on Wednesday night, Nov. 22,in the city Assembly Rooms, New York. The ballwas largely attended) and passed off with unusualbrilliancy.

Mr. THOM AS F. MEAOIIE R , in rising to respond tothe toast of " Our Guests," was received with astorm of applause and cheering. When silence hadbeen obtained he said :—

Captain Hueston, Ladies and Gentlemen, Officersand Men of the Meagher Cadets :—I have so fre-quently addressed you upon occasions similar to thepresent, and in acknowledgment of kindly senti-ments and compliments, that I feel, whatever wordsmay drop from me this evening will be divested ofthe noveltv which might otherwise have been at-tached to them, 't is true, sir, that I may have be-come less hopeful, hss buoyant, less precipitate—aye, perhaps less prompt. That may be true. Butthat any one syllable, any one hope, any one sym-pathy, any one purpose, any one principle, any oneexpression of my nature—be it pledged, be it sworn,be it intimated that any one expression of my na-ture has been altered, modified , or compromised,this I feel not to be a fact, and this I feel assured thefriends who know me best will confidently attest(cheers). As though, air, no night had intervened,as though no cherished hopes had fallen to the earthlike withered leaves across my path—as though nosea had borne me from the garden fields of my ear-lier life to the forest solitude.! in which my summerdays grew dark—as though no star had fallen fromthe heaven up to which I looked—as though myhome had not become a vacant place, voiceless,lampless, and hung with mourning—as though nocalamity had come upon, chafed my spirit and bow-ed my head, I am here to-night (cheers). The same,sir, as if no taunting voices had pursued me to theprison gates and from the prison gates across the sea,and mingling with the cheers that have welcomed meback to freedom, bad vexed the air I breathed withtheir malignant discord (loud cheering.) Still thesame, sir; still the same as when, ten snmmers since, Istood among the people of my native country, be-side the Blackwater, in the shadow of Knockmeal-down—(loud cheers)—still the same as when joiningin the surging chorus of the awakening nations, Iinvoked the gallant jealousy and love of the youngdemocracy of our island to arms, and from arms toliberty (loud cheers). Still the same as when Istood upon the summit of a gray mountain in mynative south, and from tkftrice looking down beheldthe glittering waves of corn, as they rose and fell inthe valley of the Suii , and the rock crowned withthe chapel , and the cathedral , and the tall tewer ofancient days in the blue haze beyond me, and Icalled upon the people there, with companions dearto me, though absent now, to strike one blow for thenoble land which1 gave such abundant promisesfor the future, and recollections so impressiveand inspiring of the past (loud cheers). WhatI was then I am now. Therefore, sir, it isthat I did not hesitate—therefore, sir, it is that I donot blush to sit among you here this evening—you,sir, and you gentlemen—the Cadets who would lendyour bayonets to dislodge the armed keepers of thatcaptive land (cheers). Therefore it is that I donot hesitate—therefore it is that I do not blush nowto stand among you,—you, ladies, who would stripyourselves of treasures more costly than the jewelsof the Roman maiden—more beautiful than the tres-ses of the Carthagenian girls to aid the sacred war.(loud cheers.) I, am well aware, sir, that such fes-tivities as those we now hold, may be considered incertain quarters somewhat sinful , and, perhaps, worsethan useless. But, sir, though it may be somewhatheterodox in me to take exception to such teachings,I, for one, do not conceive it is objectionable for us,who by many social influences—by our various avo-cations and pursuits—are separated the whole yearround, should meet, at all events, upon one night in thewhole twelve monlln, and renew those intimacies, renewthose memories, renow thoso hopes, which tell us we aretho sons and daughters of a oommon so'l— (vehementcheering)—and , better Btill , with a mutual look and word,and cordial grasp, revive the- hope that the land fromwhich we have been driven, ns from a sinking wreck, mayyet b« reached again by some brave souls at least—(loud cheers)—by men who will put out to sea before thewreck goes down , save her from the submerging waves,and light afresh her propelling nres.Jclear her decksfrom the pirates who have plundered her while slio laydisabled on the sea.sat up her rigging taut, run the greenflag to the topmast spar, and head her once again—aye,once again to that capacious harbor, on tbe bold headlandof which revolves the light of freedom. Sir, do notaccuse me, and let DO dour friend here accuse mo. ofmerely winhinjj, in speaking asl have spoken, to excitethehonestand impulsivepartialities which prevail amongstmy countrymen. If I have erred, it has rather been uponthe side of moderation. I think it is ns culpable to ex-cite hopes which have but a partial foundation, as I be-lieve it is criminnl to be deficient in energy when there isa duty to be performed. It is painful to me—and it mustbe painful to yeu all—to all those who have a generoussense of tbe sorrow which hits been poured down upon ourcountry, and the shame which now shrouds her head—itis painful, I say, for us to be moderate ; it is painfnl for usto bo prudent ; but there is often no less virtue in beingreserved than in being daring, And if I have utteredwords only of encouragement, this evening, it is becauseF have been deeply sensible of the responsibility whichdevolves upon words, even on a festive occasion liko tbepresent. These occasions, sir, aro not merely for thepurposes of social recreation. They aro summer sea-sons ; they are harvest homes ; and though we may reapand garner in much fruit, and make merry, still thereare seeds to be cast abroad, from which 'a fresh harvestshall spring up. These festivites, then, have their utility ;and,sir , their uses do not consist alone in renewing theintimacies which may have occurred among us; but,also, in reminding us of the duties we owe, both to thecountry from ¦which we have been driven, and to thecountry in which, with grateful confidence, we have castour fortunes (loud cheers). Our pos'tion and relation-ship to these two countrie* cannot bs more expressivelyor more vividly described than this, that wo have heretaken unto ourselves a bride, and white we love, andhonour, anil promise to obey her—to abide with her furbetter or for worse until death do U9 part—we cannotforget tho old mother from whom we came. So saywo all. And yet it stops not here, for whilst, as you.sir, have properly said for the well-beingand perpetuationof this Republic you have mustered, armed, and drilled,and are prepared to act with vigor whenever the common-wealth requires it , y»u are at the same time prepared to actthat part which Lafayette, Kosciusco, and Pulaski actedwheu they left their native homes to aid and dignify therevolution of the British colonies, as they ore no longercalled (loud cheerB, and hear, hear). Whilst, sir, this isyour position here, you cannot be irjsensible to the neces-sity and aspirations for republican institutions in otherlands (loud cheers). For myself let me say, that when,as I trust there shall be, out of this red storm on theBlack Sea, an uprising of the nations—when the thunderchorus of France, that hymn , that magnificent hymn ofliberty, the echoes of which have just died away, shallagain break out, nnd pealing from tha summits of thebarricades Bball shako the murderer on bis throne—(great applause)—whilst in Italy again the young andgallant priesthood shall leap and rear to victory a crossmore radiant than that of Constantine—whilst Hungary,maligned and mocked, and spat upon AS she has boon inher disaster, aball again lauach forth her stately chiv-alry on the tide of war—while yet again along the Rhinetho German youths shall buckle on their basket-hiltedbroad swords, and casting away their dreamful pipesshall go forth into the camps and streets, and 'with thesongs of Korner and Fieildegrnlh again evoke tbe superbthough sombre genius ot their anti que home* in thisgrand gathering; and chorus of the nation, radiantand joyoiiB as it shall bo with the descending beamsof victory—I trust that there shnlt not then bewitnessed at the great feist of freedom, .a shroud-ed skeleton called Ireluirl , (loud cheers) hut that withtho shroud thrown off, nud with fresh blood poured intoher veins from these and other shores, she shall sit downin the fullness of her pride ami bwmty among her sister-hood, (cheers) another evidence lo her and to nil men, ofthat law by which the dead leaves of the fall reproducethemselves in the blossoms) of tha spring—.by which theeagle casts his foathors but to renew thorn for a bolderflight upwards to the sun—by which tho tomb becomespeopled with young men clothed in shining robes, andthe mortal puts on immortality. Mr. Meaghor rosumodhU seat amid applause.

There are forty establishments in the United Statesengaged in the manufacture of Locomotive Engines.These shops, it is estimated, turn-out in busy times,at least 1200 locomotives in a year. Above 9000hands are employed , whose wages are about 3,500,000dols. per annum. T:i-' iron consumed exceeds 45,000tons annually. Tim value of the products of theseworks is full ten millions of dollars per annum.

DUNGARVAN BOARD Of1 GUARDIANS.The usual weekly meeting of the board was held

on Thursday | the.members present were :—'EDWARD ODELL, Ksq. J.P.. in the chair.

A. Fitzgerald, Esq., Andrew Carbery, Esq., D. Keeffe,Esq., Robsrt Longan, Esq., J.P., D.C., A. M. Giles, Esq.,J.P., S. Bagge, Esq.. J. P., John Quinlon, Esq., andMessrs. S. O'Brien, W. O'Brien, J. M'Cann, Goff, Wall,and Hourigan.

ADMISS1OSS.James Kelly(in bad health), his wife and three

children, being extremely destitute, at Abbeyside,were admitted.

Mary Sheehan, a fine healthy young woman ; shehad been previously live or six years in ths house.She pleaded a sore arm as a reason why she did notseek for employment.

By direction of the board the medical officer exa-mined her arm, and said he saw nothing the matterwith it. She was rejected.

Mrs. Kenny (whose husband is in America forthe last three years) applied, with her three children,for admission.

Mr. O'Brien said the applicant was in comfortablecircumstances at one time, but since her husbandwent to America she was badly off.—Admitted.

John Flynn, a pauper boy, who had been boundapprentice to a broguemaker, but owing to defectivesight his master parted with him. The boy's motherabsconded, nnd the board considering that the sonknew the whereabouts of the mother, at first reject-ed him ; however, he, on crying piteously, was sub-sequently admitted, he being a boy of very goodcharacter.

Three girls of the name of Lynch, whose mothtrwent to America , were admitted, having failed toobtain employment.

Ellen Kellv and child applied for admission. Therelieving officer stated that the woman resided be-tween Kil gobinet and Abbeyside for the last three orfour years since her husband went to America, andthat she had no fixed place of residence.

A long discussion ensued as to where she waschargeable—a division took place, and the votingwas, for the union at large, 5 ; for Abbeyside divisi-on, 5. She was ultimately charged to Abbeyside.

Mary Quin, a farm servant , who stated that hermother was dead , and her father too poor to supporther, was rejected.

Ellen Power, with an infant in arms, applied foradmission.

Chairman—Where is your husband?Applicant—I have no husband, Sir.Mr. Giles, rather warmly, denounced such charac-

ters, and said they should not be encouraged by theguardians or the chaplains, and that both should doeverything in their power to discourage immorality.

After some discussion the woman and infant wereadmitted for one week !

LIVEKY.A suit of livery for the porter, supplied by Mr.

Ryan, for £2 8s., was rejected as not being equal topattern. The bourd accepted the second tender, thecloth being equal to sample.

A U D I T .Mr. Matliew , Poor Law Auditor , attended on Sa-

tin day, thf Oth instant, to audit the accounts of theunion. A PLOUGH .

The agriculturist solicited the board for a plough,in order to instruct the boys in its use on the land.

Mr. Longan recommended the agriculturist first toteach the boys how to work well with the spade, asthere was no necessity for a plough on so small afarm. ,

On the motion of Mr. Carbery it was resolved toplant two-thirds of the farm with potatoes, and theother one-third with vegetables, for the house use.

STOREKEEPER.Mr. Carlbery, pursuant to notice, to rescind the

resolution of Lord Stuart de Decies, to dispense withthe further services of the storekeeper, moved in ac-cordance therewith. He ably supported his motion ,and pointed out the great utility and importance ofretaining the services of so efficient and competentan officer. It was not, he said, fair or just that heshould be discharged before his twelve months shallhave terminated.

Several of the guardians agreed with Mr. Carbery .Mr. Longan said he supported his lordship's mo-

tion, but had Mr. Carbery explained as he then did,he would be inclined to support him, although he(Mr. L.) was anxious to reduce the staff, which wasenormous.

Mr. Quinlan was also for retaining the servicescf so efficient an officer as the storekeeper, until the4th of February, 1855, when his year will have ter-minated.

After some discussion the chairman put the ques-tion whether the storekeeper be dismissed forthwith,or retained until ihe 4th of February next.

A division took place, when there was a majorityof 2 to retain him till the 4th of February.

CLOTHING.In reply to Mr. Carbery the master stated that the

visiting committee did not inspect the clothing to becondemned—and that the clothing of the females wasrepaired by the embroidery mistress nnd assistants.

The'clerk read-the minutes of last meeting ; therewas nothing of importance received from the com-missioners during the week.

The clerk read a letter from the national board ofeducation, enclosing a premium of £2 10s. to MissHayes, head schoolmistress, and a like sum for MissBerry, infant schoolmistress, as a mark of approvalof their competency, and a reward for the improve-ment made in the pupils. The board expressed theirapprobation.

The commissioners, by letter, approved of the re-solution of the board ordering each relieving officerto open an office in the most central part of his dis-trict. nnPORT ON AfilUCULTURE.

The report of Mr. Bogan , inspector of agricul-ture, stated that he inspected the workhouse farm,and examined twenty boys, who showed a very fairknowled ge of the practice of improved husbandry,but exhibited a deficiency in the theory. The farmcontinues to be satisfactorily managed, the cropsof winter vetches, cahbages, and turnips, presentinga promising appearance.

The board directed the clerk to advertise in thsWaterford and Cork newspapers for an efficient in-firmary nurse for the workhouse, at a salary of £15per annum, with rations ani apartments.

The visiting committee's report spoke favorably ofthe progress the children have made in the infantschool , that being the only school in which they hadtime to hear the class.

BAD POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS. .'On Monday last a highly respectable and influen-

tial meeting of the'noblemen, and gentlemen of thecity and county of Waterford—convened by: themayor—was held in the large room, Town Hall, toconsider the present defective state of the :postalcommunication, and to take such steps as may ap-pear most advisable, either by petition, memorial,or address, as will be likely to remedy the evils, andto secure to this city the advantages of quick andregular postal communication with • England andDublin, as well as with the towns of thia and theadjoining counties. The following noblemen andgentlemen attended j—

Dr. DalJ , bishop of'Cashel, the Earl of Huntingdon,SirBerJJAmin Morris (city High Sheriff). Junes Dela-bunty, (coroner), Dr. Thomas L. Mackesy, Capt. New-port, Dr. John Mackesy, John A. Blake (mayor elect),James Dobbyn, Joseph. D, Lapham, Major GeneralRoberts, Rev. Alexander Alcook, Joshua W. Strongman,T. S- Harvey, Josiah Williams, Anthony Cadogan,Patrick A. Power, William S. Hill, Henry Whitney, Dr.Joseph P. Mackesy, John Farrell, Joseph Tabuteau,Joseph Ambrose, Joseph 3. Richardson, Aid. Cooke,Patrick Maher, William E. Hassard (Barrister), JohnA.lcock (Barrister), H. Ryland (Barrister), John War-ing, Thomas C. Spencer, Very Rev. Dean Hoare, ThomasBarnes, Thomas Clarke, George Courtonay, John Power,J.P. &c. &o.

HBNBT DENMT, Esq. Mayor, took the chair.Dr. John Mackesy, moved, and Mr. John A.

Blake (mayor elect) seconded, that Mr. JosephFisher act as secretary.

The mayor said in consequence of the inconve-nience suffered by the citizens of Waterford in thetransmission of the day mails, the present meetingwas called. It was to be deplored that the railwayswere not taken advantage of to remedy the evilcomplained of (hear) . Those mails should be sentby railway, and not by a single car, or, as is some-times the case, in other places, by a foot passenger.Waterford should share in the advantages affordedby railways (hear). It is, however, as far as postalarrangements, deprived of them (hear). Every man,in and out of business, is inconvenienced. Thepresent day mail is of no use—the people would beas good without it as with it. It was therefore forthe meeting to see what they should do to remedythe evil complained of.

Sir Benjamin Morris (High Sheriff) was about topropose the first resolution, when

Mr. James Delahtmty (Coroner) suggested that acommittee of five or more be appointed—being themost regular way—to draw up resolutions, to be sub-mitted for the approval of the meeting. It wouldnot take them many minutes ; he, therefore, proposedthat a committee be appointed for that purpose.

Capt. Newport agreed with Mr. Delahunty—allthe due forms should be adhered to. To appoint acommittee would be respectful to the meeting, andhe therefore begged to second Mr Delahunty 's pro-position .

Dr. T. L. Mackesy said they should not only at-te.id to the postal conveniences of the city, but alsoto those of the county, (hear)—that would be theproper course to pursue (hear).

The Earl of Huntingdon said, he, in common withthe citizens of Waterford, felt considerable inconve-nience from the present postal communication (hear).He also agreed with the gentlemen who had spokenthat the resolutions should come from a full publicmeeting (hear). He was sorry to see only some 20or 30 persons present (hear). It was disgraceful tothe city of Waterford, and would be to any othercity, to see such a paucity cf citizens assembled onsuch a vital and important question (hear). He wasashamed to see so few present (hear).

Mr. Blake (m-iyor elect) said the thinness of themeeting was owing to the short notice given , andonly for the exertions of Mr. Fisher they woul d havehad no meeting that day (hear).

Lord Huntingdon said he would , therefore, with-draw his attack (hear). Waterford was a largecommercial city, find if the citizens only pulledstrong and well together the government would notnor could not refuse them their just demands (hear,hear). They ought to have a morning mail everyday as well as a mid-day mail (hear). Look for it,and the government can't refuse (hear, hear),

Mr. Cadogan complained of the shortness of thenotice given to hold the meeting.

Mr. Fisher (Mail) said it was too late on Fridayto send the requisition to the Waterford News; it wassent to the other paper..

Mr. Flynn (Chronicle)—It was sent to me at 11o'clock on Saturday, when he knew it was too late(hear).

Mr. Strangman said the Chamber of Commercehad sent already a memorial to the post office direc-tors on the subjept.

The following committee was then appointed todraw up resolutions to be submitted to the meet-ing :—

Lord Huntingdon, the Lord Bishop of Cxshel, JoshuaW. Strangman, Mr. John A. Blake, Dr. T. L. Mackesy,George Courtenay, Joseph D. Laphani, Dr. JohnMaekesy, E. Power, nnd the mover and seconder—Mr.Delahunty and Capt Newport.

The committee having retired, Mr. J. Blake, in afew moments, returned and said it was an oversightto leave out the High Sheriff (Sir Benjamin Morris),and requested he would attend the committee.

Sir Benjamin at first, rejected, but it having beenstated that the omission of his name from the com-mittee was an oversight , he consented to act.

Lord Huntingdon apologised for the omission ofthe High Sheriff's name.

After about half an hour's deliberation the com-mittee returned.

Bishop Daly said Ihe, as chairman of the com-mittee, was requested to move the firs t resolution.It was to the effect that the root of all the evils com-plained was that the post office authorities did notavail themselves of the advantages and facilities tobe derived from the railways in the transmission ofthe mails. His lordship gave several instances of theloss and inconvenience it was not only to him, indi-vidually, but to the public at large.

Mr. Lapham seconded the motion, which wasunanimously passed.

Sir Benjamin Morri3 moved, and Mr. Strangmanseconded, the second resolution, to the effect thatnotwithstanding the facility of railroads the postoffice authorities adopted the objectionable practiceof transmitting the mails by one or two horse cars,to the great inconvenience of the public at large.

The mayor having put the resolution it was passedunanimously.

Lord Huntingdon, in proposing the next resolu-tion, said he was proud to see, since he first madehis observations as to the thinness of the meeting,that the numbers had greatly increased, he thereforeretracted what he had said on that subject (hear).—He said the post office and not the railways was infault, for the inconvonience the public was subjectto, owing to the huxtering of the officials of thatestablishment (hear). Cork, or Limerick , or Bel-fast, would not stand such nonsense, and he hopedWaterford would not (hear, hear) . If the citizensof Waterford and Kilkenny Bpeak out Lord Canningand his confreres must attend to the peoples's wishes(hear, hear). His lordship concluded by movingthe resolution, to the following effect, namely, thattho recent extraordinary alteration, and consequentdelay, in the transmission of the day-mail to andfrom Dublin and Waterford, has been productive ofvery serious inconvenience and injury to the inhabi-tants of this city and neighbourhood, and demandsthat prompt measures should be taken to have itimmediately rectified.

The resolution having been seconded was unani-mously adopted.

Mr. Fisher entered into a detail of grievances thathe, as a newspaper proprietor, suffered from thepresent slow and irregular system in the transmissionof the mails.

Mr. Blake, in proposing the next resolution, rela-tive to the necessity of having a mid-day mail athalf-past one o'clock, said, it was unnecessary for himto make any observations. He agreed with LordHuntingdon, and said the post office people hadtreated this country with great contempt (hear) . Hethought it would be better to have the old system,befor? Roland Hill interposed than the present [Mr.I. S. Richardson—No.] Roland Hill had said tothis country what he dare not say in England,—thatan ass s car was quite sufficient to bring the mailfrom any one town to another in Ireland (hear andlaughter). The present grievance complained ofwas not merely local, it was national (hear, hear)—for one town forms a quota of the whole (hear). Mr.Blake concluded by proposing a resolution to theeffect that the value of the day mail would be greatlyenhanced by reaching this city at half-past one, andthat it would be a great convenience if the nightmail were forwarded by rail, thus facilitating com-munication with the South of Ireland aa well as withDublin and England;..;-'*. ¦

Mr. Delahunty leconded the resolution, and ex-pressed a hope that ; the members of the city and

county, as well;w the adjoining- countiet intereifctLwill co-operate and endeavour to remedy an evD sogenerally and sp justly complained- of..; The mayor put the motion, which passed withouta dissentient voice.

Dr. T. L. Mackesy proposed tmj fifth resolution,which had reference to the present defective postalcommunication between this city and county, bywhich great loss and inconvenience are felt, a* in alarge majority of instances letters have to remain intheir transmission to and from Waterford a night insome county post-office on the road. ,

Mr. Edmond Power, J.P., seconded tha resolu-tion, and in doing so said he had a respect for publicopinion, and with that feeling he, as a director, a-1though an humble one, of the Waterford and Kil-kenny railway, attended the meeting that day. Hewas there to defend the ™mjMwrF*Kiist the attack,the unjustifiable attack, fE*5s5» Mr. Fisher,in the Mail of Saturday^ "gcSjat them (hear,hear.) About two years ago wiien the citizens ofWaterford called for a day mail, it was granted, anda train having then ran at the required hour, fourpence a mile was allowed, and accepted, until nowthat the time has been altered (hear). The CorkChamber of Commerce had got it changed from 8.40, instead of 10 in the morning. They would beobliged to have a second engine, and an additionalstaff if they acted as Mr. Fisher expected, but thecompany could not afford to lose £20 a week for no-thing (hear). Lord Bessborough had waited onLord Canning, and he admitted the grievance ; butwas it a proper excuse that the company refused totake the mail on the old terms (hear). Two yearsago, the Waterford and Limerick railway got 4d.a mile to the junction, and when a change was madein the trains, a new arbitration was called for, whenJonathan Henn, one of the ablest and most ex-cellent men at the bar, arbitrated at one shilling and why should they not get it ? (hear). The Wa-terford and Kilkenny company only: sought to bodealt justly with by the post-office authorities. Adeputation from tbeir body waited on the authori-ties in London on Thursday, and offered to do thework at eight pence per mile, but it was not accededto, as he learned by the following letter :

Secretary "! Office, 17 Gracechurch-st.,London, Dec 8, 1851.

MT DBAR SIR : —A deputation from the board waitedupon the Post Office authorities yesterday, and offered tosubmit to a Io3s of carrying tbe day mail at 8d. per mile,but, I believe, was not acceded to.—I remain, ray dearsir, your's faithfully, WILLIAM S. PARK en,

Edmonil Power, Esq., Tramoro. Secretary.He therefore thought the directors of the Water-ford and Kilkenny railway did everything theycould to accommodate the public, and he was surethere was not a second man at that meeting, or in thecity who agreed witli Mr. Fisher in his unjustifiableanimadversions (hear, hear).

Capt. Newport proposed, and Dr. John Mackesyseconded the sixth resolution , which passed unani-mously. The resolution appointed a committee toforward the resolutions of the meeting to the pojt-office authorities, to prepare petitions to parliament,to obtain signatures to an address to the postmaster,to appoint a deputation from among their number topresent such address, and to take such other steps astney deem necessary to secure for this city and itsneighborhood postal advantages which the comple-tion of the railway s afford, and to which we are en-titled. The seconder said it would be a nuclemto have vessels put on the line between WaterforJand Milford.

Mr. E. Power said that if the people of WaUr-ford succeed in prevailing on the post-office authori-ties to agree to tho terms sought by the Watcrfordand Kilkenny company, he could safely promisethat the mail-train would arrive in Waterf ord athalf-past one, p.m., in accordance with the desireexpressed in one of the resolutions.

Lord Huntingdon proposod a subscription todefray expenses—several gentlemen put down theirnames for sums varying from £1 downwards. Hislordship said they should also appoint a secretary-Mr. Fisher would not answer as they should 1We aperson more known to the citizens, and of some in-fluence in Waterford. He would suggest thatCounsellor Alcock, a man of energy and talent, barequested to act.

On the motion of Lord Huntingdon, seconded byCapt. Newport , Councillor Alcock was appointedsecretary. A committee of eleven was then ap-pointed.

The mayor having vacated the chair, LordHuntingdon was called thereto, and the thanks ofthe meeting returned t» the mayor, in putting whichhis lordship said he had great pleasure in doing so.

The meeting then broke up.

THE CRIMEA.Wo could have invaded the Crimea at a time

when the greater part of the troops who met us atthe Alma were hundreds of miles from that fatalfield , and we might have laid siege to Sebastopolbefore the army which attacked us at Inkermannhad begun its march from Bessarabia. Having thechoice of the summer months, we preferred waitingfor the approach of winter, and not to mention thehardships our troops are enduring, the tempest oflast month which shattered our fleet , and, it is said,cost the lives of more than a thousand of our sailors,is the best commentary on our choice. What else wecould have done, or neglected, in order to make tbeenterprise more difficult, dangerous, and costly,'itwould be hard to say. What might have been adashing and comparatively easy exploit in July,became in September one of the most arduous,toilsome, and, perhaps, perilous undertaking* that aBritish army ever engaged in.

This Russian war, for which, we repeat, thsAberdeen Ministry is chiefly accountable, has alreadywasted upwards of eighty thousand lires, of whichless than one-half are Russian, more than ODe-fourth Turkish, and the rest British, Irish, andFrench. About half as many more are maimed anddisabled for life, and the number of widows andorphans who have been made such by the war mu»tbe counted by tens of thousands. What a reflectionfor humanity, and what a prospect does the futureopen before us.— Tablet.
