Sept. 2‘.l.—'l'lie taking of .\lal:ikhofl' was ii. surprise for the_ Russians which forced them to evacuate the town rather more pier-ipitatcly than they expected. The fall of Sehustopol seems to have been It surprise for the allies, which found them unprelarcd to take uninc- diate advantage ofit. Twelve months ofsicgc operations, carried oti in ii. space scarcely exceeding tcn square miles, and in a country where they must entirely rely on sea transport for all the necessaries of life, has had a. preju- dicial effect on their movement, \vhilc the sad experience of last year has made them very cautious how to iidvance in an inhospitable Taurida, and to go to anv distance from the place where their supylics have been so laboriously collected. Besides this, now, in the face of active operations, the p-iralysing influence of a divided cominan.lersliip makes itself doubly felt. As lon-_- as the question was only to decide upon secondary iuattn.-rs, when the object was clear and palpable and the direc- tion given, this divided gcncralship, however embarrassing, was a lesser evil than now, when a new direction has to be taken, and when such questions as ‘‘ Shall there be an advance?" or “ Is it too late for this year ; and if so. where shall this advance take place ?" have to be considercd- when there may be a dill’-ercnce of opinion as to the main point, viz., whether the Russians are inclined to yield to the slighte.-it

ressure, and retire before a series of harmless

etnonstrations, or whether they think to be able, and hold it worth their while, to defend the north plateau and the rest of the Crime-.i— and when there may be even two views as to

A patrol-officer coming along some time after, and finding an Irishman of the Rifles on guard, addressed him; ‘ Well, tny man, what are you doing here? You do not belong to the Fiftii.-tli.’ ‘May it please yer honor,’ said Paddy, ‘the Rooshins relieved the Fiftieth, and we relieved the Roo.-hins.’ ‘A facetious Scotch friend who had his lodgings in Balaclava, was aroused by the violent ringing of bells and general corifu- sion throughout the harbour on the demise oftlie old, and the iiittugurntiori of the new year. Forgetting the occasion, he snllied forth into the dark, cold streets, thinking that there must be a fire sortie ivlieru. Soon convinced of his mistake, but ready and anxious as ever, (the wicked fellow!) for a bit of fun, he carelessly said to ii shivering Erinite, whom he found standing on guard: ‘ \Vel| sentinel, if a fire should break out here, what should you consider it to be your duty to do first?’ ‘Indnde, sir, I shotild think it my first duty to wnrtii myself,’ was the off-hand and witty reply. ‘ Lieutenant Edward Wylde, R.
