He was at the time close behind Lord Raglan, and fell from bis horse into the arms of General Ksteourt, who had accompanied Lord lan to the field. General Strangways was immediately removed to the hos pitel tent near Balak! On the way to the rear the gallant officer was perfectly calm, and did aot ap- fear to suffer much.

With the army he was principally attached to the Second Divi: and we are told that, from Sir De Lacy Evans to the youngest drummer, every man mourns himasa friends. Mr. Wheble was a youn, man, well off as regards the goods of this world, an when, lagt spring, he volunteered to leave his quiet curacy at Chelsea to encounter the hardships and dun- gers of the war, he made, perhaps, as great a sacrifice to duty as any one of the gentlemen of Kugland who have left fortune, home, and friends to fight for their country in the East » The Kilkenny (Ireland) Moderator of Nov. 25 cen- tains the following romantic and melancholy incident — It is with regret that we read in the nominal return of officers killed in the battle of Inkermann that Captain Stanley, of the 57th Regiment, is amongst those who have died nobly in the service of his country. Captain Stanley was a native of Du , and was connected with the faimily of the late Sir 4 Stanley. When very young, being fond of a military life, he entered tho wervice of the Queen of Portugal, and distinguished limself in action at Oporto in July, 1883, where he re ceived a sovere wound in the arm. He continued to serve in Portugal and Spain until 1855, when the order of the Tower and Sword (of Portugal) was conferred on him ass reward for his gallantry. The following anec- dote connected with his appointment to the British army is authentic:—Prince William Henry, when « mid xhipman, was present at a ball at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and being struck with the charms ef ang lady pre- went, selected her for his pactner in a country dance, at the conclusivn of which hp laughingly told ‘her that ifhe should ever atiain power she need only send him a copy of tht music of that dance, aceompanicd by a re. quest, and that he would, if possible, attend to any demand so authenticated.

Some had their heads taken off at the neck as if with an axe; others their legs gone from the hips: oth- ers their arms, and others wgain who were bitin the chest or stomach, were literally as staashed as if they had been crushed in a machine. But it was not alone the allies who lay here; on the contrary, there were ten Russian corpses for one of theirs, bur the latter were all killed by rousketry before the artillery came up. On this spot the Russans kept dropping shelus the whole night, but their vindictive efforts were in vain; all who lay in reach of their missiles had suffered the last which they were to endure on earth. Passing up the road toSe- Dastopol between heaps of Russian , you came to where the Guards had been compelled to retire from the defence of the wall above I[nkermann Valley. Here our dead were nearly a4 numerous as the encmy’s. Across the path, side by side, lay five Guardamen, who were ail round shot as they advaneed to cha: lay on their faces in the same attitude, with their mus- kets tightly grasped in both hands, and all had the same grim, painful frown upon their features, like men whe were struck down in the act of closing with their foes. Beyona this the Russian Guardsmen and line regiments lay thick as loaves, intermixed with dead and wounded horses. The latter, vith fractured limbs, were now and then rising, and after staggering a few steps rolling over Among the corpses, snorting and plunging foarfully. Up to the right of the wall was the way to the two gun bat. tery. The path lay through thick brushwood, but the ath was slippery with blood, and the brushwood was broken down and encumbered with the dead. The scene from the battery was awful—awfal beyond description. 1 stood upon its parapet at about nine at night, and fell the enemy, They my heart sink as I gazed upon the scene of carnage | showed | around. The moon was at its full, and every object ax ff by the light of day. Facing me was the valley’ of Tukermann, with the ‘Teher- naya like a band of silver flowing gracefully between the hills, which, for varied and pic- turesque beauty, might vie with any part of the world. Yet I shall never recall the memory of Iukermann Vailey with any but feelings of loathing and horror, for round from which I surveyed th ¢ lay upwards of ies, Many badly wounded the distinctness upon the ear, or, worge still, the hoarse gurgling ery and vehement struggles of those who were conyulsed before they passed away. Round the hill small groups of men with hospital stretchers were searching out for those who still survived; and others again, with lanterna, busily turning over the dead, look- ing for the bodies of officers who were known to be killed, but who bad not been found. Here alse were English women whose husbands had not returned hurrying about with loud Ismentations, turning the faces of our dead to the moonlight, and engerly seeking for what they feared to find, These latter were far tore to be pitied than the inanimate forms of those who lay slanghtered around. Tho ainbulances, aé fast as thoy came up, received their load of sufferers, and even blank- ets were einployed to convey the wounded to the rear. Ontside the battery the Rugsiaus lay two and three dee D} the place was literally full with bodies of Russian Guardsmen, 55th and 20th. The tine tall forms of our poor fellows could be distinguished at a glance thongh the grey great coats stained with blood rende: them alike externally. They lay as they fell, in heaps; sometimes our men over three or four Russians, and sometimes a Russian over three or four of ours. Some had passed away with a smaile on their faces, and seemed us if asleep; others were horribly contortes distended eyes and swollen features, appeared to lave died in agony, but defying to the last.

Many Jay with beth their hands extended towards the sky, as If to avert a blow or utter prayer, while others had a malignant scowl of mingled fear and hatred, as if indeed they died despairing. The moonlight imparted an aspect of unnatural paleness to their forms, and ag the cold damp wind swept round the bitls and waved the boughs above their upturned faces, the shadows gave a horrible appearance of vitality; and it seemed as if the dead were laughing, and about to rise, not the case on one spot, bnt all over the bloody field.

[From the London News, Nov. 29. One of the most interesting topics at present to the eps number of peop'e is the climate of the Crimea. © most contradictory statements are pui forth, and the opposite reporters find immense fault with each oth- er, as if no such thing as a parti-colored shield had ever been heard of. Yet, who thinks of laying down the law about the climate of Switzerland, or any other mountain- ous country, without saying what region, in the earth or the air, he is talking about? A man, tal the St. Bernard Convent, will give a very t of the climate of the Alps from « summer resid at Interlacken; but both are right, and we do not hear that they cail one ther romancers. Yet when one man tells of the Crimean blasts and frosts, and another of the Crimean fruits and flowers, the vine, pomegranate, myrtle, and other delicate productions, it ‘seems aot to occur to either that both may be right. The truth of the matter will be welcome at such 4 lime; and here it is. ‘The Crimea is remarkably diversified in et; extent—and its extent is considerable. stretch between east and west is above 200 miles, # from north to south it measures 120 miles. Ina pevin- eula of such an extent as this the winter or summer prospects of any army depend on where they are to be placed within ifs area. It would be #0, even if the sur- face were as uniform as such an extent of sea-sidecoun- try can possibly be; but when, as in this case, there are more varieties than we can find from the shores of lake | Lucerne to the top of Mount Pilste, the one great ques- nich could never be deseribed.

There is no doubt about the cold over the larger There is no doubt about the ivy character of the winds which blow, without being ercepted, from the Arctic Ocean to the higher uses and gardens of Simpheropol. There is no doubt that from Kertch to Simpheropol, and onwards to above Sebastopol, the fa is exposed to these intolerable winds; wor that the rising ground from Verekop to Simpheropol is the last place that any cou swander would think of for encamping his soldiers, eith proportion of the arc in tents or buts.

Throvghout the winter, the peril from tempests and knowdlrifts is snch that the ides of sending troops and ammunition is too wild to need consideration at pres That the one force or the other must con- quer, there is no doubt; there is no doubt that the alter native to the Russians is unconditional surrender, von Furely decides that, at this teason, the ouly qui about which it eball be hangs on the feet whether thore is or i¢ not ammunition enoagh in Sebastopol for all Russian purposes this winter, All the evidence that ad, and pour haa reached us seems to show that there isnot.

His Majesty was received at the gate of the hotel by M. Benedetti, the charge de affaires at the head of the whole staff of the embassy, in ful costume of ceremony. The Sultan, on eniering the room where the Prince waa reclin shook hands with him most wa: ', and expressed to him the deep regret which de felt at state of his health, and his hoy that the Prince would «peedily recover. During the visit which lasted half au hour, the Sultan spoke in the warment terms of France and her magnanimous sovercign and of the value of the allied armies, whose services he said he would never forget, and for whom he would do everything asked trom. as long as they sliould re- main in the East. His ity afterwards said to Prince Napoleon that he placed utmost confidense in the loyalty of his allies; that, feeling the full value of their noble assistance, he would endeavor to do everything to ‘lace his government on 4 level with the situation; that saving cmered on the re of complete re- form, nothing should induce him to turn back; and that with the aid of his allies, he would surely attain the object which he had had in view when he ascended the throne. The Prince having with emotion thanked the | Sultan for his visit, and expressed his sincere satisfac. | tion at the language which he had just heard, the Sul- | tan left the Prince, aflectionately, His Majesty was then conducted back to rae of the hotel by M. Benedetti and the whole sta of the embassy. CONVERSATION OF NAPOLEON AND LORD PALMERSTON, The Paris correspondent of the London Chronicle, writing on Novewber 25th, eays:—In political circles here a great deal is said of a conversation which has tak- eu place between the Emperor of the French and Lord | Palmerston, on the subject of the end which France and | England ought to propose to themselves in the present war. The opinion here is that if the four guarantees could be obtained, both Powers woula be satisfied; but it is diffigult to ree how they can agree to accept terms which, though fair and equitable at the period they were proposed, would at the present day certainly not satisfy cither tho one country or the other. Jt ix bettever here, however, that peace, or, at all events, serious negotiations Tor the conclusion of a peace, would be f Russia | wuld accept, and accept sincerely, the four guarantees. But Russia has no intentions of the kind. e Western | Powers now know and are able to appreciate M. de Nes- | selrode’s despateh to the Prussian government, by which Russia appears to adbere to the feur guarantees. They know that the adhesion is merely apparent. M. de Nes- selrode acts with regard to the four poinis as he did with regard to the protocol of the 9th April. He put such an interpretation upon them that they in fact re- vived all the pretensions of Russi: retensions which are the origin of the present war. the four guar- antees, as interpreted by M. de Nesselrode, Russia would tind herself preciaely in the statu quo ante bellum. But ueither at Vienna nor at Paris or London has that des- patch, much as it has been commented on, been con- sidered as the basis ofa negotiation which could lead to a tavorable result. NEW AUSTRIAN NOTE. The following, says the Jnd ce Belge, is almost textually the despatch addressed by Count Buol to Count Esterhazy, Austrian ambassador at Berlin, in re- ply to the Prussian tote of October 40:— Vreyna, Nov. 9, 1854. ‘The Cabinet of Berlin replied to our communication of he 22d of last month by a despatch, communicated to us by M. d’Arnim, of which « copy is subjoined. The communication of the 23d expressed the’ sincere desire of Austria to obtain for Lerself and the &erman cenfede- rates guarantees which only the decided union of Ans- tria and Prussia, both in will and act, can assure to all Germany. lt isin that spirit that we have examined with the most sernpulous attention the note of Baron de Manteuffel, We are glad to see that the elements of a common uo- dersianding and agreement contained in the preceding declarations of the Prustian cabinet have a more clear and pronounced form. Like ourselves, Prussia shows herself inclined to confine to the past divergencies of opinion which had for too long # time compro: wised the value and effect of the treaty of the 2 April, and.to take those resolutions which actual cireumstance may claim, in consequence of her partic'- pation ia the alliance (offensive and defensive) of the 20 It is in consideration of that disposition of Prussia that we in the instructions to Baron Pro- kesch, and communicated in substauce to the cabinet of Berlin. to avoid as much as wible sterile discussions on the point of the obligations already contractod in Virtue of the treaty of the 20th April, “But at the same time we propoved, in three points, the project of a fede- | ral decision, as it seemed to as, neoessitated inan urgent | manner by the common interests of Germany inthe | actual state of affairs. It is, therefore, with very it satisfaction that we found, in the propositions by the cabinet of Berlin in reply to its above-cited commu- nica ions. that the three points in question are repro- duced in their essential Lael egponere We are happy to see in this agreement an assurance that the efforts by which the two German Powers appl, themselves to obtain the solution of the serious comnl- cations of the moment are ted to the same end. But the more value we attach to our accord with Prus- sia, the more do we hope that the Prussian cabinet will not insist upon conditions and restrictions of pure form which would very probably diminish the chance of the speedy establishinent of peace, and might even in the course of events compromise the most important inte- rests of Austria and dermany. We have not the slightest desire to enter into discus- sions of pure forin when the situation is so serious. We therefore think it of very little consequence to examine whether it is better to select, for the dispositions to be taken, the more simple form of a federal decision, or that Austria and Prussia should first come to an understand- ing between themselves on the di, ition to be taken; and then submit them to the Diet; although the adoption of thi: form does not appear necessary, since the treaty of in consequence of the accession of the Confederation, has taken a | pee! extension, and has be- come, a8 rds its execution and s new eventual ex tension, the object of the decisions which the Diet may take conformable to the federal constitution.
