The graves are scrupulously respected, and ai-e marked with large stones. The inscription on the stone telegraph tower cut by the French, "La Bataille d'Aima, 20 Septembre, 1854," has been altered to " 8th September " by the Russians, to reconcile the date to their old style. The Russians are returning our visits now, and some unfortunate officers who, in the height of goodfellowship and amid flowing bumpers, gave their name and an invitation to their boon companions to " come and stop a week with me, and bring your friends and family," have been horrified by the vision of a couple of droskies at their tent doors, containing a whole bevy of fair Muscovites and their attendant lieges. Major Montague, of the Engineers, is entertaining at his pretty hut on Kamara-hill, a number of Russian ladies who were kind and attentive to him when he was a prisoner in Simpheropol, and is fortunate in being able to evince his sense of their humanity and good nature.
Lieutenant-General Lord Rokeby, commanding the First Division, and Lieutenant-General Barnard, commanding the Second Division, are to be made Knights Commander of the Bath, and the latter will go to Corfu as soon as his division shall have been broken up. Lord Rokeby came out to take the command of the Guards in the winter of 1854-55. His Lordship had not the good fortune to he present at either Alma, Inkermann, or in the attacks on the Redan. General Barnard, also a Guardsman, was an efficient and active chief of the staff under •iGO TEACE OXCE MORE IN THE CRIMEA. General Simpson up to the date of General Windham's appointment, hut he came out after the two great Crimean hattles had been fought, and he was not personally engaged in either of our assaults on the Russian lines.
It is believed that ]\Iajor-Cieneral Garrett will be made K.C.I>., at the same time (Jeneral Sir Colin Campbell will.shortly return home, and the officers of the Highland Division, b}' whom he is greatly beloved, intend to give the gallant general a farewell banquet on Saturday next, for admission to which there is eager competition. The position in which this meritorious, brave, and energetic officer has been placed since he came out here could not but be trying to a man of his active habits and of his ardent love of service. He came out at the request of his Sovereign to serve under an officer greatly his junior in the service and with no comparative merits at all as to experience in the field or with the enemy, and he has had no opportunity whatever of exercising command, but has been as inactive as Achilles — eating his heai't in his tent — although the comparison ceases with his isolation — for Colonel Sterling would scarcely pass muster as a Briseis notwithstanding the charms of his conversation and the variety of hisacquireinents.
Every one wishes the gallant General well, and the army feels that Sir Colin Campbell will not fail to justify the judgment which may select him for any post where the more valuable qualities of a soldier, such as decision, promptitude of execution, self-devotion, braverj', and personal activity are required. He has gained the esteem of our allies; but it is felt that in council he would have been the last man to yield to claims of the reasonableness of which he was not perfectly convinced, and that he is jealous of the honour and reputation of the British army. May 21. Lieutenant-Colonel James, E.E.; Lieutenant-Colonel Stanton, E.E.; and Captain Gordon, R.E., have started for Bessarabia, t-o survey the line of the new boundary between Ilussia and Moldavia, and to aid the commission with their professional advice and experience.
Captain Hammcrsley, Deputy-AssistantQuartermaster-General, Hcad-C^uarters Staff, and Captain Jjrook, Assistant-Quartcrmaster-General, Fourth Division, two active and intelligent officers, have been selected to proceed to Perckop, and to examine the roads, the bridges across the Sivash at Tchongar and elsewhere, and the country aroundGenitchi, Arabat, and Kafla, in order, I suppose, to satisfy the authorities KOADS, BRIDGES, ETC. 4G1 that if they had made a forward movement they would have succeeded in forcing the Eussians to iight a pitched battle or to retreat. The staff olKcers of the Eustfian army are busily engaged in surveying our camp, and the Commander-in-Chief of the English army has ordered that every facility shall be afforded them. They have closely examined the construction of the railway, and have studied the plans and sections deposited in Sir.
