The report that General Simpson has actual- ] reslgned the command of the army before ghastopol ins round rapidly. It is said that the gal ant o cer's health will not permit him to remain ate at where so much that tries severely both iis moral and _pl_iysical energy has to be gone through. If this is true the question naturally arises, who will be the new leader of the British troops in the allied camp! One version of the report has it, that Gen. Simpson’s resignation has been some days in Lord Puninure’s hands. We can we I imagine how uuled the noble lord must be to choose--not gem among so many. bllﬁ from amongst so few men fit for the situat.ion—a Commander-in-Chief of the Crimean Army. Neither at home nor with the army does there appear to be any general oﬂicer who has dis- tinguished hiiiisel snﬂiciently to be at once pointed out asa proper person for the post. At the head of the Quartermaster-General's Department in the Crimea is .\ltijor-Gen. Airey; but, according to all accounts, the less that is said regarding the management of that parti- cular department the better. In other respects Gen. Airey has not shown himself to be posses- sed of those gilts—whether natural or acquired —which are wanted in a military chief on

active service. Sir Colin Ciinipbell, command- i

ing the 1st Division, lins shown himself to be a brave man, and an intrepid, fearless soldier; butincre liruvery and courage will not stand

in the place of those other qualities indispcns- i

able in one who has to command an nriiiy of many thousand men. Against Sir Richard England nothing can be said, because since he landed In the’Criineu, his name has scarcely ever been mentioned in connexion with the brave division he commands. But his antece- dents in India would hardly point hint out as a ﬁtlender for our arm in the Crimea. Gene- ral Pennefatlier had formerly the advantage of

eing a lieutenant of the great Sir Charles Na ier in Scinde ; but when we have said that. an remarked that he is as brave as the sword that he weirs, it is all that can be said for this ofiicer. Sir George Brown is certainly not the man for the vacancy. His heart as a soldier is no doubt in the right place, but liend as well as heart is wanted to make a commander for a large force. With this oﬂiccr ends the list of Lieutenant-Generals now in the rimea, or indeed available in on way for active service. Did Sir Debacy Evans’s health permit him, he would no doubt be the man selected by the Horse Guards to command the aruiy in which be played so promincnta part not long ago. But no one can either command health or stay advaneingyears ; and the climate of the Crimea requires vigour of body as well as strength of mind. Amongst the Ma'or-Generals with the Army, Codrington, Boiler and I-lyre, have signalized themselves as leaders of brigades; but to obey and issue orders are two very dif- ferent aﬂliirs, and an oflicer may succeed very well in the former, and be a bad hand at the latter. Private letters from the seat of war agree in praising these three leaders as men who have energy an detrrmination ;and they are young for the rank they bold. Recent ex- tracts from the general orders of the camp announce that Major-General Markham, an oﬂiccr who has greatly distinguished himselfin India, is daily expected at Sebasto ol from that country, and with this olliccr and .ord Melville now commanding the troops in Scotland, we exhaust the list of general ofiicers of all ranks among whom it appears to be open to Ministers toclioose. Such a state of affairs is not ver creditable to our military system; but the country and Parliament have themselves to thank for being left at a moment like the pre- sent without a fit man to put at the head of affairs in the Crimea. Nevertheless, a choice,

ood or had, must be made, and that without

elay.—Lord Panmure cannot advertise for a general ofiicer as he would for a footmnn, nor would it do to placard the walls of Westmins- ter and Whitehall with announcements resem- bling those which offer every possible imaginary advantage to " a few spirited young men,” who fplellinclined to join such and such regiments of t e ine.

Gsnsiui. SIMPSON.-—A ministerial con- temporary contradicts the rumour that Ge- neral Simpson had been recalled, but points to his probable resignation and the appoint- ment of a successor.

Gsivsiui. Bu-rsoN.—-We find the re ort of General Beatson’s murder repeats in various telegraphic despatches in foreign journals. As, howevever, they are all traceable to the original Constantinople despatch of the 26th, eia Vienna, they do not conﬁrm the report, but leave us free at least to hope, that the general may yet be in safety.

The Courier do Marseillu announes that the French Government hrve chartered 97 steamers for river navigation, each to carry 500 men. The ﬂotilla is to make a trial trip before leaving for the Crimes.

calculation, the hall‘ of the loan of30 mil- lions of thalera voted last year has been swallowed up by the military expenses caused by the Eastern question, Up to the end of the year 1854 the ndditionnl_expeii- ses caused by the partial lnUI)llISﬂll0ﬂ' amounted to 4,135,721 thulers, since which there has been expended on the -same ac- count l,685,000 thnlers .1 month, which makes about 10 millions of thulers in six months, without reckoning other ordinary expenses. The cavalry and artillery are to remain at their present strength. Preparations were making for a permanent blockade of the mouths of the Danube. There will be permanent encuinpments on the Danube and at Constantinople until peace shall be re- stored. HASZARIVS GAZETTE.

Ilsii M.uss'rv's Brig Espieglc still lies at the Three tides, waiting we understand, for the arrival of the Halijiu, with the British and American Coniniissioners for settling the fisli- ing boundaries, on board. Not having heard of any great inﬂux ofU. S. fishermen on our coasts, we suppose that they have been waiting for this visit to take place. We are glad of this oflicial visit on many accounts: Mr. Perley, the

ritish Commissioner is a clever man, an we trust, that in his Report, he will—we cannot see how he can avoid it—give such a descrip- tion of the advantages possessed by the Islan , as respects both fisheries and agriculture, as will serve to make it ettt-r known. We are pleased also to learn, that Professor Agassiz is ikely to accompany the Commissioners. The question of whether we may reasonably expect coal within working distance will be answered b him with more certainty than by any one e se. Practical miners may have more facile means as to ascertaining the bcstsites for boring, when once the fact, that cool, according to the most accurate conclusions to he deduced from geological phenomena, is certainly to be foutid at a greater or less distance below the surface. Should the Professor pay us a visit, we must endeavour to get his opinion also as to whether rtesian Wells ma be sunk with any proba- bility of success. 'e attach no small degree ofimportance to this last subject of enquiry, as a copious supply of pure water at the surface is an indispensable requisite to health, comfort and even existence, not to mention the reat

and indirectly, as supplying steam boilers, &c.

here are few ersons here competent to solve this question, lint to a crson of the extensive geological knowledge 0 ‘the Professor, the task woul e easy.
