SAILING 01-‘ THE Rovu. Ai.ni:m'.—H. M. ship Royal Albert, 1'20, Captain Sir Thomas Pnslcy. Burt, left Spitheud early last week for the Crimea, with ‘.2500 souls on board. Previous to her departure the vessel was visited by II. it. H Prince Albert. The troops on board consisted of 700 men 30 ofliccrs of the Grenadier, Colclstrcam, nnd Scots Fusileer Guards, 480 men and 8 oflicci-s of the 7lst Foot ; iind I20 men of the Royal Suppers and Miners, and S officers of the Royal Engineers.

Mr. Bcuttie, the civil engineer, and his staff, who have returned to this country in consequence oftlic termination of the rail- way works upon which they were engaged in Canada, have been employed by Govern- ment to proceed to the Crimea. They iirc to embark at Marseilles on the (ith for their destination. A numerous corps ofminers, qnarrymcn, smiths, and niivvies are to ac- company or follow them.

Sir Collli Campbell, by the disabling of all the generals around him, has I)l!L‘()lllL' Commander of the Fourth Division.

The progress of the siege has not been great during the last five days. The enemy are ,.e,.. numerous in the town, and I suspect that this is the cause of the assault being delayed. There is a prospect consequcntl of the arinv wintering here. The siege, at it l events, will not be so speedily brought to ll termination its the most sanguine expected. Our position, in the meantime are stronger every tiny, and the enemy will be unable to attack us any more on what has been hitherto our weak side--the llflnlt. guarded by our Second l)ivigion, works have been erected on it large scale to protect us there,nnd these have been executed n0¢wm,. standing ll lieoyy fire from the shipping in tho liarboup, of which the range was wild at first, but _wl:ich_ became more deadly as the gunners received signals from the observatory of the Russians at lnkerinnn.

Sir G. Brown having consented, the regiments halted, and fl. three-sided square was formed. The chaplains then united in asoleinn but simple prayer, and, from the quiclness and attention exhibited in the ranks, doubtless this prayer was joined in by many who stood silent. The time spent in this service was only eight minutes, but at its conclusion there were cvidcnttokens of the spirit in which such an acknowledg- nit-nt of God's sovereignty and reliance on

2 THE FIELD AFTER THE BATTLE. “On the evening of the battle,”- Wrilefi the correspondent of the Morning Herald. ." I went over the field. I think I have - said over and over again that it w a sigh! which could never be described. A consid- erable number, soinsfllo to I000, Russian killed and wounded were lying umong our tents, and here also were many. too many. clirpsvs of‘Zouavcs and French Infantry of the litic. All oui- wounded have been re- moved, and the wounded oftlic enemy were living gathered in. The kindness and at- tention of our fellows to their helpless ¢'ll(.'llll(.‘S \\ as beyond all praise. They brought them water, got kniipsacks to put iuider their heads, iind borrowed blankets in which to cover them from the raw night air; hero and there small groups of them stood absorbed in pity round seine prostrate foe to whom their kindness came too late, and who, shot either through the head or lungs, gasped out his existance in painful sobs, or terminated it in a horrible convul- sion which made your blood curdlc to hear. A little above the line of tents was the brow of the hill overlooking Inkettniiii Heights. Here was the spot where the nllied artillery engaged that oftlie enemy alter the retreat, and here the sight was sickening indeed. There is nothing so awful its the spectacle oftlie bodies oftliose who have been struck down by round shot of shell. One poor follow ol' the 95th had been struck by two '3-l-pountlors inthe head and body. A shell nllerwartls burst on him and tore him to pieces, and it was only by frnginenfs of cloth wiili the regimental buttons adhering, that you could tell that the rough bloody mass which lay in the road had ever been ti liumziti being. But it is useless to dwell on these sickening details; sufiice it to say that here among the cgrcnses of some two hundred killed and wounded horses lay the bodies of 0IlI' brave English and French urtillcryincn, nll more or less friglitfully mutilated. Sotne had their heads taken off at the neck, as if with an axe; others their legs gone from the hips; others their arms, und otliers ngiiin, who were hit in the chest or stotnnch, wot-c litcrully us smashed as if they had been crushed in ii machine. But it was not alone the allies who laid here; on the contt-at-_v, there were ten Russian cOi'p.~'i‘s for out-. ofllicirs, but the latter were all killed by musket:-y before the artillery

SANDVVICH ISLANIN. Acorrespondent of the Hartford Times, writing from the Sandwich Islands, and who has been five years at Honolulu in charge ofthe Government Press, remarks: Our printing office occupies a two story stone building about ‘.35 by 50;_ has two hand presses and one Ruggles _|0l) press; the three presses ure kept running pretty steady. I employ generally about ten hands, six of them journeynien and the rest boys all foreigners except two natives. The printing is mostly done in the English lan- guage; ll. little however is in the native language: \Ve have here two English weekly news- upers, one semi-weekly native paper, and

came up. On this spot the Russians kept

dropping sliclls the whole night; but their. viiitlictivc ofl'oi-ts were in vitiii; all who lay ! in l'('llCll ofllieir missiles had suffered the 2 last whicli they were to endure on earth. 1 Passing up the road to Scbustopol between

heaps of Russian dead, you cnme to the

spot wlicro the Guards had been compelled

to retire from the defence oftlie wall above

lnkorinun Volley. Here our dead were

nearly rs nutnerous its the enciiiy’s. Across

the path, side by side, luy live Guardsmen,

who were all killed by one round shot as

they advanced to charge the enemy. They

lay on their faces in the same attitude, with

their niuskcts tightly grasped in bntli hands,

and all had the some grim painful frown

-~pon their features, like men who were

s.i-uck down in the act of closing with their foes. Beyond this the Russian Guardsmen

and line regiments lay thick as leaves, iii- tcrmixcd with dead and wounded horses.

The latter, with fractured liuibs, were now

and than rising, and, uftcrstnggering a few steps, rolling over among the corpses,

snorting and plunging feni-fully. Up to the right oftho wall was the way to the Two- gun Buttery.

The path lay through thick brusliwood, btit the path was slippery with blood, and the brushwood was broken down and en- cumbered with tho dead. The scene from the battery was s.wful—nwful beyond des- cription. I stood upon its parapet at about nine at night, and felt my heart sink as I gazed upon the scene of carriage‘ around. The moon was at its full, and showed every object as ifby the light ofduy. Facing me was the valley of Inkerman, with the Tecliernayn like :1 band of silver flowing grncel'ul|_v between the hills, which, for varied and picturesque beauty, might vie wiili any part ofthe world. Yet I shall never rccal the memory oflnkcrinnn Valley with any but feelings oflouthing and horror; for round the spot from which I surveved the scene lay upwards of 5000 bodies. Many biidly wounded also lay there; and their low, dull moans ofmortal agony struck with terrible distinctness upon the ear, or worse still, the hoarse gurgling cry and vehement struggles of tlioso who were con- vulsed befoi-e.they passed away. Round the hill small groups of men with hospital streicltcrs were searching out for those who still survived; and others ugein,with lanterns busily turning over the dead, looking for the bodies ofofficers who were known to be killed, but who had not been found. Here, also, were English women whose hus- buntls lind not returned, hurrying about with loud lntni-ntntions, turning the faces of our dead to the moonlight, and eagerly seeking for wliutihcy feared to find. These latter were for iuore to be piticd than the inuiii- nintc forms of those who lay sluuglilcred around. The ambulances, us first as they came up, received their load of sufferers, and oven blankets were employed to convey the wounded to the rear. Outside the battery the Russians lay (too and three deep. Inside, the place was literally full with bodies of Russian Guardsmen, 55th and 20th. The fine tull forms of our poor fol- lows could be distinguished at it glance, though the grey greutcoats stained with blood rendered them alike externally.
