NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
M A S O NIC. 
J. T.— According to the obligation in Masonry, you are bound to give the 
preference to a brother of the order. We regret to say, that is not 
conscientiously carried out as it ought to he. We shall watch these 
things very narrowly; and, by so doing, watch the best interests of 
Masonry. 
/.. fj._\v’e should recommend your waiting until the next meeting; by 
which time, you say, your proposer and seconder will be in town. 
/». /'.—You cannot prevent a brother entering the lodge, even ufter ho 
has resigned, nor for twelve months from his ceasing to subscribe. As 
a matter of course, he has no voice In the lodge, beiug, under the cir- 
cumstances, only a visitor. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
J. Ti (Dublin.)— In the first list sent by telegraph from Marseilles, on 
Friday week [sec Second Edition or The Field last week, p. 069], 
t here were four mistakes. The names of twenty-one officers were there 
correctly given as killed ; hut four more were inserted as killed, who — 
bv Lord Kaglan's despatches, which did not arrive till fifteen hours 
nher the publication of The Field— now turn out to have been hut 
wounded. Those four wounded are Captain Hare (7th), Lieutenant 
Wardlow (19th), Lieutenant Applewhaite (23rd), and Lieutenant 
Worthington (33rd). See official despatches inserted in The Field of 
to-day. The total number of officers killed is twenty-six, not twenty- 
five. us at first reported. Lieutenant Cardew (19th) makes the twcuty- 
T. 1. (Hirkenhead .) — We cannot see any difficulty in the fleet forcing its 
way into Sebastopol. Turn a tank into a diving-bell, as was done at 
Cape Frio (Thetis), and tho sunken Muscovite craft may easily be 
blown to “ smithereens.” Dundas is evidently too sleepy; and we 
quite agree with you that lie is not so dashing an officer as Lyons. 
These arc certainly times to speak out. Would that Parliament were 
sitting! 
J. Siii i l/i (Chcltrn .) — Balaklavft is a harbour on the south coast of the 
Crimea, situate seven miles in a direct line from Sebastopol, and eleven 
miles to the east of Cape Chersonese. It is still, as it was described by 
Strabo, a pnrtut anguiiu inlroitu, the mouth being only thirty yards in 
width, but it will contain twelve sail of the line. The site is one of the 
most beautiful in the East, and it derives its name from the “ Utile 
i Inure" of the Genoese, who founded tho little town at the bottom of 
the haven, and built the fort on the adjoining cliff. The port is formed 
by a deep inlet or indenture in tho rocKs, with water sufficient to float 
the largest ships in perfect security ; it is completely protected from 
e very wind, and may he regarded as a dock for ail the purposes of dis- 
embarcation. 
J. U. It. — Messrs. Tegg and Co. have just published a lithograph, by 
Messrs. Mnclure and Co., of the Battle of the Alma, It is well exe- 
cuted, and gives a vivid idea of the difficult circumstances under 
which tho Allies achieved their first victory in the Crimen. 
INQUIRIES. 
Cirilian.—" Will any naval reader of Tun Field cxplaiu to a few mem- 
bers of a Mechanics' Institute the difference between a 'gun-room* 
and a ' ward-room ?’ ''—Sec. 
Medico (Lirerpool).— The natives of Black Russia are nearly all flat- 
footed, which makes them incapable of long and rapid matches. A 
man with this defect is not admitted into live Britisli army, and the 
faet of so large a part of the Russian army being thus naturally con- 
stituted explains in some degree the great losses which attend its 
march.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
L ORD RAGLAN’S despatches, containing a detailed ac- 
count of the gloriouB victory on the Alma, ware published 
on Sunday in an Extraordinary Gazette. The description of 
the scene of the conflict, and of the sei'ies of movements 
which terminated in our putting the Russians to hopeless 
and disgraceful rout, will long since have been perused with 
the utmost interest by all who have brain to comprehend 
and heart to honour the deeds of our gallant countrymen 
and allies. The Russian general — posted in one of tho 
strongest positions ever devised by military ingenuity, 
assisted by natural advantages, with 50,000 of the choicest 
troops, and with a powerful train of artillery — was, in three 
hours and a half, driven into shameful flight, with some of 
his guns captured, with six of his men slain for every 
one of the soldiers of the Allies, and with his owu carriage 
and valuable correspondence a prey to the victors. He had 
vaunted to his master (who indeed seems, throughout the 
whole campaign, to have been strangely deceived by those 
under him) that he Yvould hold his position on the Alma for 
three weeks, and would drive the Allies into the sea. The 
indomitable energy and courage of his assailants appeal' to 
have perfectly astounded those who were opposed to them, 
who talk about “ red devils” and the like. They have yet 
to learn — they are fast learning the lesson, however that 
the most terrible enemy in the world is an armed freeman. 
There are drawbacks to our victory. One, and immea- 
surably the greatest, is tho fearful slaughter which has taken 
place in our ranks. From the nature of the ground this was 
inevitable, and there is not a shadow of imputation against 
the arrangements which Yvere made for the battle, and which 
seem the best that could possibly have been devised. The 
stronghold of the Russians — for the position ou the Alma 
was more like a fortress than a mere field station — had to be 
forced at any price, and there was no choice for the Allies. 
They forced it nobly. But, ere that dreadful day closed, 
the Crimean soil was laden with our dead. Their fame, and 
the consoling of tho households of those to whom consolation 
can be ministered, may be left to a grateful country — their 
blood, at the last audit, be upon the head of the rapacious 
tyrant who has broken the peace of the world. 
The escape of Menschikoff, with nearly all his guns, is not a 
satisfactory feature of the day. The generals explain it by 
the want of cavalry, and it is certain that after Buch a 
dreadful struggle no infantry could be expected to join in a 
pursuit. But the Russians are described as having been 
wholly routed, and as throwing away their knapsacks 
and arms in order to run the faster. It would seem, there- 
fore, that the moment Menschikoff saw that the game was 
in peril, he gave orders to remove his artillery, and thus lost 
his last chance. But the question Yvhy Lord Raglan hud no 
cavalry may perhaps come up hereafter — at the same time 
or, at all events, in juxtaposition — with the question why Sir 
Charles Najner had no gun-boats. 
The subsequent movements of the Allies, after the battle, 
were conducted, not only with the utmost skill, but in a 
way which announced that fertility of resource which alone 
can be called military genius. Finding that the line of 
march originally determined on would expose the army to 
certain disadvantages, the generals, almost in the presence 
of the enemy, suddenly changed their whole plan, as a dex- 
terous player “ castles” at chess, struck across the Crimea to 
a new point, met a largo Russian force and put it to flight, 
with the loss of its munitions, and finally established them- 
selves in Balaklava Bay, seven miles from Sebastopol, and 
perhaps the most favourable spot which it is possible to con- 
ceive as a basis of operations. A gallant young officer in 
the navy made his way alone, across the country, and con- 
veyed to the Agamemnon the news of the intentions of tho 
generals, and round came “ Sir E. Lyons’s brougham," as the 
noble vessel is called in the navy (from her habit of carrying 
him into all possible and impossible places), bringing her 
companions with her. A terrible siege battery was disem- 
barked, and by the last advices we are apprised that 
Sebastopol had been invested, and the bombardment had 
begun. “ Tbe shower of shot and shell was awful," says a 
narrator. No place can long endure such a visitation, pos- 
sibly the most frightful that has descended upon a town 
since the destruction of the Cities of the Plain, and it is not 
wonderful that the siege was not expected to last many days. 
Lord Granville, in a speech delivered during the week, has 
informed the public that the quantity of ammunition sup- 
plied to our forces is enormous — enough to wear out all their 
guns. There seems no reason to doubt that the fate of 
Sebastopol has been already sealed, but the public will 
naturally be chary of belief until the arrival of official 
testimony. There is no doubt that the Russians are desper- 
ate, and that they have sunk several of their ships at the 
mouth of the harbour iu order to prevent the entrance of 
Admiral Dundas. The suicidal policy, which was barely 
pardonable in the case of Moscow, becomes savage folly in 
the presence of antagonists who are prepared to extend to a 
defeated enemy the utmost of the stern courtesies of war. 
We may add that appalling stories of mines of extraordinary 
extent, calculated to blow the Yvhole of the allied army into 
the air, are being inculcated ; but this absurdity induces a 
belief that Menschikoff has been superseded in command by 
Munchausen. 
The death of Marshal St. Arnaud has been the theme of 
universal regret — less that he has died a hero’s death, than 
that he did not live to see the capture of Sebastopol. We 
learn that in his last days the Marshal devoted himself to 
religion, and that his exertions were put forth, during the 
whole campaign, to provide the soldiers of France with 
spiritual advantages. We are soi'ry to say that this is a 
lesson which has yet to be studied by our owu authorities, 
for we have public and private evidenoe to the fact that our 
soldiers feel deeply tho want of that counsel and consola- 
tion which too many of them — as of their countrymen at 
home — treat lightly in time of peace and safety, but whose 
value becomes incalculable amid the dangers and horrors of 
the battle-field — and the field after battle. 
Except in order to keep our record complete, it is scarcely 
worth Yvhile again to mention that “it is believed" that 
Sir Charles Napier intends to be heard of in the Baltic 
before coming home. The dissatisfaction of the officers in 
that fleet is extreme, and reports come home which, if only 
partially true, testify to lamentable incompetence on the 
part of the commander of the armament. But, the one or 
the other, a few weeks must end the Baltic story. 
The “ Muscovite Premier ” has been entertained in Aber- 
deen ; “ about tbe only place,” says the Standard civilly* 
“where he could show his face in public, without a certainty 
of being hissed,” and a portrait of the noble earl has been 
inaugurated in the Town-hall. He took the opportunity of 
dilating a good deal upon the blessings of peace, Yvhich, he 
intimated, it was his first object to obtain. But he ab- 
stained from any compliment to his “ friend of forty years,
