'Additional News from the Crimea.

- February 3.

A very sudden change in the weather, quite characteristic of the climate and of its extreme variations, occurred about 1 o'clock this Ill-rfn ing. A bitter cold wind sprang up and blow with violence, and the thermometer fell to 18 degrees. A deep fall of snow took place, and the whole landscape is once more clothed in white.—It is new freezing intensely. This will put impediments in the way of our railroad making. The navvies are hard at work ick- iu and growling and ﬁghtin among t em- Ie ves. There was a re ular battle on board one of their ships last night, and the Provost- Marshal will have to give a few of them a taste of his quality, ere they are brought to a sense of their responsibility in a state of martial law.

There was little ﬁring on the trenches last night. The French had as usual a couple of smart fusilades during the night. Our thir parallel, in front of Chapman's battery, is to

e strengthened at last.—Every day strength- ens the correctness of Sir John Burgoyiic‘s homely saying about Sebastopol-—“ The more you look at it, the less you will like it.” Three months ago, that oﬁiccr declared his “ opinion" to be that the place ought to be assaulted. New General Niel coiues, and we hear, that he laughs at the notion of our reducing the place by the tire of artillery. lloivevcr, we shall have a tremendous lire for them, and a shower of 13-inch shells, each of which weighs about 200 lbs, will be an extremely unpleasant addi- tion to the storm we shall direct upon the Rue- sians. The French are extromel anxious for the assault. Our army has long been in a con- dition which induces it to prefer anything to the trenches. It may easily be imagined that General Canrobert is becoming less pular among his soldiers than he was. eneral Bosquet, who commanded the French move- ment at Inkerman. is rising in favour, as he is known to be in favour of the bayonet. The Ripon sails to day with sick for Scutari. Most of the poor follows are in a very low state, not- withstanding the stimulus of hot brandy and water. and warm tea, furnished to each of them by Mr. Skead at the little establishment in Balaklavo, which may be truly called " The Curudoo restaurant.” There is no news of any decided movement among the Russians. The guns of our battery outside Balaklova are in position. About three miles of the line of Rsilway have been marked by the en incers from Bulaklava beyond Kadikoi, and u inc of yhitc sticks in the ground denotes so much 0 we route at present. The arming of our hot- ggpies in trout goes on every night. Captain 13”] is going to 'upatoria to take command of gh.

THE ARMY. .

The army for the ensuing year, exclusive of artillery, engineers, and of the troops in India, will consist of 6,947 oﬂicers, 13,043 non-coiu- missioned ollicers, trumpetcrs, and drummers, and 173,005 rank and ﬁle, making 193,505 individuals of all ranks. Of these 178,645 will be British troops; and as the number this year amounts to 142.776. it will be increased by

5,869 men. So many diﬂerent and inaccurate versions of the manner in which this an men- tu.tiou is to be carried out have been circu ted, that we sub'oin the following details, which maly be relic on as correct in every particular: — n the Cavalr , no augmentation will take place in the t ree regiments of Ilousehold Cavalry, in the 1st, %, 3d, 6th, and 7th Dra- goons Guards, the 3d Li ht Dragoons, 7th -Hussars, 9th Lancers, 10th Iussars, 12th Lan- cers, l4th Light Dragoons, 15th llussars, and 16th Lancers.

The 4th and 5th Dragoon Guards. lst Royal Dra eons, Scots Greys, Eniskillen Dragoons, .ight Dragoons, 8th and lltli Ilussars, 13th Light Dragoons, an 17th Lancers will each be raised from the present cstablisliiuent of six troops (27 ollicers, 32 non-commissioned oliicers, 328 men, and 271 horses per regiment) to eight troo s of 75 men. ’.l‘lie strength of these regiments will then be 34 ollicers, 5.‘; non- coinmissioned officers and truinpetcrs, (330 rank and tile, and 520 horses each. Of this strength, six troops will be in the Crimea. amounting in round numbers to about 520 men, and the re- mainder will form a depot at home. Our force of oavalryin the Crimea under the new arrange- ment should be therefore over 5,000.

The following infantry regiments will be raised to the strength of 68 oﬂicero (four ﬁeld oﬁcers, I6 captains, 40 subalterns, and eight stiiﬂ), 149 non-commissioned oiiicers. drum- mers, &.c., and 2,000 rank and ﬁle, making 2.217 ofall ranks, of which it is intended that 1,400 should be always on active service :-—lst Royal Regiment (lst battalion).3d Bulfs, King's Own, 7th Fusilicrs,9th, l4th, 17th, 18th Royal Irish, 19th, 20th lst Fusilers. 23rd lboyul

PROGRESS or THE Sinai: or SEIIASTOPOL. —Tlic Jllililary Gazelle of Vienna states that from the ‘.’5th to the 23th of January the firenpencd upon Sebastopol has been very brisk, especially from the six batteries erected by Admiral Druat, near the Bay ofC|iersonese, which are armed with 50 pieces ofthe largest calibre. The defensive barracks ofthe Russians, on which the tire was especially directed, hadto be evacuated. Sincclhen, the French have constructed some earthworks on the heights which overlook the cemetery, and the shells thrown from that point upon thetown cause much damage to the Russians. In general, the cross ﬁre of the batteries of Cape Chersonesc and of the trenches opposite the southern fort, is daily gaining in strength. The Russians cannot any longer operate with much effect on that side with their heavy artillery, because the French works are most advantageously situated. A rumour is current that the Gencrnl-in- Chief ofthe army ofthe Caucasus, General Muravieli, who hnsjust arrived at Tiiiis, has received positive orders to open the trans-Caucasian campaign as soon as possible.
