Bv this time the steam and sailing vessels reqiiired for the transportation of the British and French troops were assembled before Varna —a motley, multitudinous fleet, numbering from 400 to 500 vessels. the 4th of September, at about three leagues to windward; for, luckily for that crowded mass of ship ing, the wind, half a gale, was blowing ojft eshore. The embarkstion was, we saw, vigorously progressing to the sound of martial music, exuberant cheering, and not unfrequent cannon-fire—-in enforcement, no doubt, of the orders signaled by the fluttering buntin ofa screw two-dccker, bearing a rear- adniira ‘s flag, By sun-down, we had dropped We ssed them on the whole of the vast armament, with the exception of the top spars of the largest men- of-war: these presently disappeared in the gathering gloom, and not a sail was visib7e in any other quarter, save those imaginary ones which lands-men such asl conjure up in the distance out of flashing foam-horses chasing each other over, a wild vvasto of sea. ‘b'team,’I remarked to Captain Brystone, as he shut up his glass after along scrutinizing look towards every point of the compass- ‘stcani has, Iduresay, greatly increased the facilities for such an enterprise! still, it is quite clear, even to my unskilled judgment, that the gigantic embarkatioii going on yonder is a terribly hazardous alliiir.’ ‘ ’l‘lnnt's a fact, Master Iiendcrson, rejoined the captain : ‘ and the boldest liritishcr there would think twice of such a venture, ifthe Russian inen-of-war, instead of skulking oil‘ to hide themselves at Sehastopol, shewcd they meant to have a downright shindy with their ‘ I know MP8.

This strange apathy or disdain called forth numg- rous, and far from complimentary, comments from Joel Br stone, especially after we opened up Sebastopo , and he had counted from tho mast-head the numerous fleet skulking idly there. ‘ A tremendous strong fortress, though, this Sebastopo]! ’he added, ‘as that fellow Hartmann said, and about the only sensible thing he did any: note place to be taken Ly the collar even y the Western Colossians.’ * Western Colossia, was it not? ‘ Colossi or Colossians,’ rejoined the captain, ‘it comes to pretty much the same thing, I believe——wliic is, that the British and French- ers will find Sebastopo! a cussed hard nut to crack.’ So saying, and feeling, I could see, a little pouty at having the correctness of his langun e questioned, the commander of the Saucy ipcy walked away.
