SECOND EDITION. 
upon a Russian fort, but simply apprising Kiel that the day 
was the anniversary of the Prince of Wales. The bands at 
Portsmouth are diligently rehearsing “ See, the Conquering 
Hero comes," in order to be ready for the return of the 
Admiral. 
Lord Palmerston, as might be expected, has got himself 
into bad odour with the theological world, by his bold propo. 
sition that all children are bora good, and are rendered bad 
if they turn out so, by bad education. Nor has his con- 
demnation of beer and tobacco made him much more popular 
than he was before. His language, however, in regard to 
these articles, has been strained to mean more than he in- 
tended, which was simply to impress upon the agricultural 
mind tho necessity of moderation and temperance. No bene- 
volent man — and Lord Palmerston is one of the best-hearted 
men of the day — could wish to deny to the hard-worked 
labourer the solace of beer, pipe, and social intercourse- 
Lord Palmerston's Smoke Prevention Act was an excellent 
thing, but wc doubt whether it was designed to extend to 
tobacco smoke, and Lord Clarendon and the gentlemen in 
the Foreign Office are understood to share our doubts. 
Lord Aberdeen took occasion, on Lord Mayor's Nuisance 
Day, to make a speech in which he once more took credit for 
the pacific policy of the Cabinet, and looked forward to a 
happy termination of the war. Some people are rude 
enough to tliink that the boast was rather out of place, and 
the anticipation rather premature ; but as we express no feel, 
ing here, except that which all Englishmen entertain on the 
subject of the war — namely, that being involved in it, we 
must carry it on with vigour until the spirit of Russia ia 
broken — we merely record that there are two opinions about 
the Premier’s speech. 
The scandal to which we adverted last week, as interesting 
the so-called religious world, who have “ gone to law before 
Mr. Whateley, and not before the saints," has been termi- 
nated. The belligerents, persons of position in their way, 
have been reconciled in an affecting manner, and the casut 
belli, a certain preacher, who was alleged to bo rather inflam- 
mable in feminine presences, and to write a letter in the 
style of the literature of Holywell-street, has been sacrificed 
in honour of their reconciliation. The investigation has 
brought out the fact, that in the world that pleases itself by 
sending out missionaries and hearing Exeter Hall oratory, 
there has been a vast deal of rancour, litigation, and slande r 
going on — a fact which we are more sorry than surprised to 
discover.

The Perry agitation 6eems likely to come to an ignomi- 
nious end. Its hero thinking probably that it was almost time 
for him to reap some of its advantages, draws a cheque upon 
the fund, and requests that the balance may be transferred 
to liis account. But the promoters of the agitation have no 
notion of being got rid of in this simple manner. That is 
not the way in which the contributions of “ Patriots,” 
“Haters of Tyranny,” “Indignant Parties,” “ Detesters of 
Oppression,” “ Gents using the Parlour of the Carp and 
Caudlebox,” and vhe like, are to be applied to their pro- 
fessed object. No speechification, no glory, no thanks, no 
fuss. That will not do. So the friends of Ex-Lieutenant 
Perry actually dishonour his cheque, aud publish an adver- 
tisement which must be about as offensive to the young 
man as any of the horse-play of his colleagues, now on their 
way to their duty in the East.

the admiration even of their enemies. They were fighting 
desperately for Sebastopol, returning the fire of the Allies 
with great vigour, and repairing, with skill and speed, the 
damage caused by our bombardment. Lord Raglan's 
despatch (its predecessor is missing) confirms the report of 
the Russian sortie and attack, and of the serious loss of life 
occasioned thereby. We are happy to say that it adds 
what the Russian account leaves to conjecture — namely, 
that the gallantry of our soldiers speedily reversed the 
fortunes of the fray, and repulsed the enemy with great 
slaughter. The guns of the stronghold have, however, done 
much mischief, nnd our vessels have suffered severely, 
though the loss of life on board has not been considerable. 
Lord Raglan announces that the siege has been prosecuted 
unremittingly ; but, he is unable to say when “ ulterior 
measures" will be undertaken. Fresh news seems to be ex- 
pected this day; and if the camp authorities have thought it 
worth while to take pains to satisfy the national anxiety, by 
entrusting the despatches to Borne responsible person 
for transmission, it may not be many hours before 
more decisive intelligence is promulgated. But such 
transmission would seem to be a matter of secondary interest 
at head-quarters. Lord Raglan wrote on the 18th, but 
nobody knows where his letter is, except that it was en- 
trusted to a private hand, which served the writer as private 
hands usually do, in regard to delivery of letters, namely, 
retained it until too late to be forwarded from Constanti- 
nople. Whether this ia the way in which a nation, in a state 
of feverish expectation and anxiety, ought to be treated by 
its servants abroad may bo matter for consideration. No 
one would desire to withdraw Lord Raglan from the duties 
of a siege which he is conducting so nobly, in order that he 
might write letters and arrange their transit ; but his lord- 
ship has around him numerous individuals whose duties are 
especially connected with reports and the details of com- 
munication, and it would not be too much to expect that 
Borne of them should do as much for their country as an 
unaided newspaper does for its subscribers.

To the Editor of The Field. 
Dear Sir, — I received your note, aud am happy to give 
you the informatiou you require as to the American grouse 
brought home by me. 
In Hudson’s Bay these birds are called the Willow Par- 
tridge, the scientific name, I believe, being “ Tetrao Saliceti.” 
In winter they are snow white, with the exception of the 
quill-tail feathers, which are black. In the spring — about 
May — the male birds look very beautiful, the neck and head, 
which change colour first, being a fine reddish-brown, while 
the rest of the body remains quite white. In summer their 
plumage is brown, that of the male especially much resem- 
bling Scotch grouse. 
In summer they go to the verge of the woods, but not 
beyond, where berries and willows are plentiful, and there 
hatch their young. The female builds her nest and lays from 
ten to fifteen eggs, resembling those of the Scotch grouse. 
Early in winter these birds migrate southward, and are 
found, more or less numerous, at nearly all parts of the 
Hudson’s Bay Company's territories (proper), north of latitude 
51 N. 
They generally frequent the sea-coast, banka of rivers, 
and shores of lakes, in which localities the willow, their 
favourite food, grows. Like most others of the tribe in cold 
climates, they burrow under tbe snow at night, as a shelter 
from the cold. 
Those brought over by me were portion of a number 
caught in a net at Churchill, in the winter of 1853. They 
soon became tame, and in the spring paired, made nests, and 
hatched their young in tho small enclosed 6pace in which 
they were confined. The females, while incubation was 
going on, would feed from the baud of the person who at- 
tended them, without quitting their nest. 
The cock birds fought so fiercely in the pairing season, 
that one or two were killed. 
In winter they congregate in packs, much as our grouse 
do, and their call also resembles that of our grouse. — I an 1 ! 
Sir, yours truly, John Rae.
