Important War News! 
Tiik Baltic brings important news from the ^ r . j, 
seat of war, to the effect that Sevastopol has 
been captured, after two or three sanguinary 
held engagements. The forts were taken by , • ^ 
storm, some 20,000 Russians reported killed, w pj ( 
ten ships sunk, and 22,000 men made prisoners extn 
of war.

If ibis be true, and there is little reason to _i 
Shipwreck and its Suggestions. 
When a great calamity like the destruction 
of the Arctic occurs, men are apt to speculate 
upon the causes, and to suggest expedients 
which if put in practice at the time, might have 
averted, or at least mitigated the catastrophe ; 
but it ought to be borne in mind that sitting 
down calmly, with all the circumstances clearly 
developed, to reason upon the matter, is very 
different from acting at the moment with im¬ 
perfect knowledge of the state of things, and 
with immediate destruction staring us in the 
Loss of the Arctic.
