ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES. 
Gun-room and llitiil-rovm —Sir, — I would have answered the query in 
your No 04, about the difference between “ gun-room" and ' ward- 
room," but thought there would have been plenty of naval men 
among your readers to do so, instead of the nonsense you have had 
sent by " W. A." and “Nauticus." The gunner has nothing what- 
ever to do with the gun-room in a man-of-war; but I will tell you, in 
■a few words, the difference between Yvard-room nnd gun-room. In a 
line of battle ship the ward-room is the part of the main, or middle 
deck (accordingly as she is a two or three-decker) next the stem, 
which is partitioned off to form the mess-room and cabins of the 
commander, lieutenants, ami their brother officers, while the subor- 
dinate officers (mates, midshipmen, &c.) occupy the gun-room as a 
mess-room on the after part of the lower deck. In all other classes of 
H.M.'s vessels the gun-room contains the mes^placo and cabins of the 
lieutenants, &c., on the lower deck, nnd there is no ward-room— the 
rnids occupying their “ berth." Commander II. N. 
It. . V — The lioston Yacht Club was established by Admiralty warrant, 
dated May 9th, 1854. Address the Secretary, High-street, lioston, 
Lincolnshire.

DISSOLVING VIEWS of AMERICAN SCENERY, by YV. K. HARVEY, Kn). 
THE FIELD. 
~ ~~ — ~~ ~ i 
express a doubt of the final issue. England, hoYvever, his a 
right to complain that, during a struggle of such intense in- 
terest to her, both nationally and as regards her individual 
households, the means of procuring intelligence aro so «on- 
temptibly scanty. A great improvement in this respect has 
been promised, but an organization which cannot require 
any large outlay of intellect or money has not yet teen 
proved practicable. We can only hear what the Emperor of 
Russia and the editors of the daily papers think it right w 8 
should hear. 
The expression “ timid counsels ” in the consolatory letter 
of the Emperor of the French to the widoYV of St. Arnaud 
has caused immeuse sensation. Who was timid ? is the 
question in every one’s mouth. The Tories say that the 
Emperor meant Lord Aberdeen. The Times says that his 
Majesty referred to his oyvu advisers, but hints that if he had 
meant Admiral Dundas, he would not have been far wrong. 
And after much discussion in every English print, and tbo 
exchange of a great deal of insinuation and sarcasm, the 
Moniteur is instructed to say — and the public is instructed 
to believe — that the Emperor meant nobody in particular 
and that the expression was rather iutended to exalt the 
gallantry of the deceased Marshal than to diminish the credit 
of anybody else — a rather curious piece of explanation to ho 
received with due gravity. 
So, also, let us receive the apologies which are being put 
forth in order to make the return of the Baltic expedition 
leas ridiculous in the eyes of the nation. The blookade has, 
Yve are told, been theoretically perfect, and if utterly useless, 
in regard to Russian commeroe, it Yvas not the fault of tho 
admiral. Then Bomarsuud WOs a great feat, but one not 
followed up. The reason of this, wo are told, was, that the 
destruction of Bomarsuud Yvas an experiment. We only 
YY'anted to know whether Yve could destroy all the Baltic 
fortresses, whose construction had been so much vaunted. 
We found that Yve easily could ; and we did not, of course. 
Let us hope that Sir Charles will be able to make a better 
story for liimBclf ; the Napiers have never been inefficient 
performers on their private trumpets. 
Lord Palmerston has made a speech to some virtuous 
agriculturists, among whom he has had to distribute rewards. 
He enunciated a doctrine which may find sceptics both in 
the nursery and in the pulpit. He asserted that all children 
were born naturally good, and that it Yvaa bad education, or 
no education at all, that made them turn out evil. The 
Times' leader-YY’riter, Yvho reviews him, is evidently a married 
man, or, at least, the father of a family, and repudiates the 
doctrine, having probably suffered front causeless screaming, 
or had to deal with stubborn sulks. Lord Palmerston duly 
cautioned liis hearers agaiust the Scylla and Chary bdis of agri- 
cultural life, beershops and smoking. At the same celebration 
he made a few eloquent observations in connection Yvith the 
war, and said something at which the Aberdeen party have 
snapped Yvitu great eagerness, as sheYving that Lord Palmer- 
ston concurred with Government in clinging to a hope of

NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
G OVERNMENT may have hereafter to explainliow it 
happens that on the 3rd of November no official infor- 
mation had been received, or, at all eveuts, published, of tho 
commencement of the bombardment of Sebastopol, which 
began upon the 17th of October. In the absence of official 
information, which we must, despite reports to the contrary' 
conclude has not arrived (the promise of the Duke of Noyv. 
castle having been given that no time should be lost in 
promulgating any uews the Ministry might receive), we can 
only recur to the details furnished by private enterprise, and 
to the manifestoes of the enemy. The bombardment began 
on the day above-meutioned, and casualties on both sides 
marked tho commencement of the terrible Yvork. Tyvo 
powder magazines belonging to the French exploded, and a 
tremendous explosion topk place in Sebastopol. The natural 
impression on the miuds of Euglish reporters is that great 
damage was done to the stronghold, and this is most probable ; 
but the Russians, thus far, appear to have given, in vulgar 
phrase, “as good astheygot." Tyvo of our ships were set on fire, 
ninety-six of the men were killed, and, of course, a propor- 
tionate number wounded. On the other hand we are told 
that the slaughter in Sebastopol was so fearful that the very 
atmosphere was tainted ; but this appalling statement is a good 
deal toned down when we refer to the electric text: 
“ Numerous corpses infect the air.” The Admiral Nachimoff, 
one of tho two commanders most active in the Sinope 
massacre, is said to have been accredited, like his colleague, 
to the court of Nicholas Senior, moyennant thi fragment of 
a shell. The Russians report that they made a sortie, and 
captured several guns, but we have the fact only from Priuc e 
Menschikoif, whose name is not precisely a syuonyme with 
veracity. An allegation that the English cavalry had been 
cut up, and Lord Dunkellin, son of Lord Clauricarde, 
captured, is at present regarded as too Russian for probability. 
But, on the whole, it would be premature to say there was 
anything discouraging in the state of the siege, as far as Yve 
have any means of estimating the circumstances. Every one 
knew that the place was almost as Btrong as nature and art 
could render a fortress ; and every one knew, also, that unles B 
urprised and taken by a coup dc main — the most improbable 
of eveuts — a certain number of days’ siege, and a large loss 
of life, must be the price at which Sebastopol was to bo 
gained. The resistance of the Russians will, doubtless, have 
bceu of the most obstinate description, but we should be 
doing an injustice to the gallant and skilful leaders of the 
expedition, and to the gallantly of the allied armies, did wo 
peace long after the country had determined that there could 
aud should be none. The testimony does not come to much 
— not half so much as Lord Palmerston’s actual presence in 
the ministry — but it has been caught at as if very valuable. 
Archdeacon Wilberforce, as everybody expected, has left 
the Church of Englaud, and joiued that of Rome. The loss 
may be supposed to be almost balanced, by the recent trans- 
fer of some six-and-thirty Roman Catholics of Bermondsey 
to the Anglican faith. But Romanism has other troubles. 
Mr. Lucas, the great ultra-montano champion, has assaulted 
the Roman Catholic bishops iu Ireland, for desiring a fire- 
brand priest to mind his Hock, and leave politics alone, aud 
the Pope is to be appealed to against the decision. The Church 
of England is exerting itself laudably to supply religious 
assistance to the army iu Turkey — loss laudably, iu the case 
of some of .its members, iu seeking, at home, to be put on 
war footiug, by the revival of Convocation-militant. A 
petition lias been presented to the Bankruptcy Court for the 
purpose of making Mr. Hudson, the deposed railway king, a 
bankrupt, in respect to certain dealings, but this seems to 
be a mere demonstration. A case iu which feminine scandal 
and the imputation of forgery are mixed up, and the London 
Missionary Society (the agent of dissent) has officials im- 
plicated, is interesting the so-called religious Yvorld. And 
the Patriotic Fund is being swollen by donations and sub- 
scriptions, to gather Yvhich enthusiastic meetings assemble 
in every part of the kingdom.

THE COURT. 
There has been little stirring at Windsor during the week. 
The Royal Family have availed themselves of the tine Yveathcr 
to tike their customary exercise in the Home Park. On 
Monday aud Tuesday his Royal Highness, accompanied by 
Prince Nicholus of Nassau, and the Right Honourable Sidney 
Herbert, and attended by Lord de Tabley, Major-General the 
Hon. Charles Grey, and Colonel F. H. Seymour, Yvent out 
shooting. 
The Countess of Gainsborough has succeeded the Countess 
of Desort as Lady iu Waiting. 
Major-General Buckley has succeeded Lord A. Pagot as 
Equerry in Waiting to the Queen, aud Captain du Plat has 
relieved Colonel F. H. Seymour, the Equerry iu Waiting to 
the Prince. 
FASHIONABLE WORLD. 
Tho Duke aud Duchess of Sutherland and family have 
left Dunrobin Castle for Trentham. 
The Duke aud Duchess of Wellington, Yvho have been 
staying at Brighton, on a visit to Lord and Lady Charles 
Wellesley, have returned to Belgrave-street. Lord Charles 
Wellesley, wo regret to loam, is still suffering from imperfect 
vision.
