Daring a considerable porit , n of the attack, however, the spectators knew of what was ' panting in the trenches or before them, as a thick vtil of nuke effectually shut them out from the view ; and when the whole affair was at an Ind, hundreds were quite et a loge to know whether the Idaultlos bad been captured or not. The attack was well arranged, and the effect was occa sionally very striking ; but, it ii to be regretted, that an accident occurred. Jitet as the Mutation was suppoud to be captured, the stage erected for the advance gave way beneath the weight of the soldiery, many of whom were precipitated to the ground a distance of twelve Or fifteen feet, and in the fall a sergeant of the Grenadiers sustained a compound fritetwo 4,1 the leg; another man was taken up insensible from internal injury; a tkird had • bayonet run through his check; and, in addition utiles* injuries, there were many dislocation', sprains, and eol3tth Wane ; the greater part of the vest company of spectators being all the while ignorant of the occurrence of any such catastrophe. Every exertion was made to assist the injured by direction of the officers in charge, and by 12 o'clock about 26 men bad been conveyed, in cake or on stretchers, ' to the military hospital in Rubuter.row, Westminster, where several eargeoastestdbg la the seighbeeeiteei he► tend to give their assistance to the resident medical officer. Upon inquiring at toe hospital, we were informed that no case was likely to end fatally, but that it was impossible accurately to state the extent tit the injuries iefLoted until to-day. At the close of the attack tie usual amusements pro ceeded at high pressure ; and Cremorne was never perhaps seen to greater advantage than was the cue last night. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Last night Cremorne Gardens were the scene of a grand fete, in aid of the Wellington College, established for the children of our soldiers who may fall during the war. The charge of admission was raised from Is. to notwithstanding which the assemblage was much more numerous than upon ordinary occasions. Extensive preparatiens had been made to give due iclat to the pro , ceediogs ; tl•e programme, in addition to the attractions ordinarily held out, including the attendance of to less than six regimental bands, together with that of 500 soldiers, and three battering trains, to take part in the "Attack on the Mamelon Vert, and Capture of the Me Pits," a feat ar ranged to commence at nine o'clock, and anxiously antici pated by the hundreds of gentlemen and ladies who bad paid an extra two shillings for reserved seats, or one shilling for reserved standing places. It was, however, nearly ten before the officers in command gave the signal of attack. Sebastopol itself wee very well represented by a bugs panoramio painting, extending, per baps, about 40 yards, the Mapleton being separately repre sented in advance, with real trenches, protected by fasciae@ and and•bags in frost of all, and well lined with soldiers of tho "red, white, and blue." The "battering trains," it mast be contested, if not altogether of an apocryphal nature, were of very modest pretensions, fur it was seldom that anything louder than tho sharp crack of the rifle was to be distinguished in the wile, alth:ugh the 500 soldiers were no doubt present upon the ground, and, sufficiently In preened with the gravity of the events in which they were called apoli to take part, resolved to conquer, if fate so willed It, or perish in the attempt. Hence Owe was a profs** expenditure of gunpowder, LATEST PARTICULARS.-THIS DAY. This morning, from inquirie a made at St. George's Hoe pits), Grosvenor•place, Hyde•park-oorner, of the medical gentlemen, Mr. C. Hawkint, Mr. Phipps, house•surgeon, and Mr. Gunning, we are happy to state that the five sol diers, who were considered to be the most severely injured, an progressing as favourably as possible, and great hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. The following UV the names and nature of their injuries :—Jolen Craw ley, aged 20 years, Artilleryman, bayonet wound in the arm, resides at the camp at Woolwich ; John Colville, ditto, ditto ; James Sergeant, 23 years of age, Artillerymen, wound on head, arms, and hand, resides at Woolwich; William Stone, aged 26 yearn, injuries of body, Grenadier, St. George's Barracks ; Wm. Sharp, aged 22 years, both legs broken. Upon inquiring at the Military Hospital, in Rocheater•row, Westminster, only seventeen were taken there, but the injuries they have received are bruises, and they are all doing well. MUSIC. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Yesterday morning, at the Hanover-square Rooms, there was a full rehearaal of Costa's new oratorio, Eli, composed for and about to be performed at the approaching Birmingham Festival. This rehearsal was ged by the Birmingham committee, and Mr: Mason, a member of the committee and "Orchestral Steward," came to town in order to attend. All the principal singers were present; namely, Madame Castellan, Madame Viardot, Mr. Sims Reevis, Herr Formes, and Mr. Weise ; and there was a full muster of the metropolitan members of the orchestra and chorus. The work was completely and carefelly rehearsed, under the direction of the composer. The effect was magnificent, and we have not the smallest doubt that Eli will be hailed by the public as one of the very greatest sacred compositions which have appeared during the present century. The poem is from the pen of Mr. Bartholomew, whose literary talents are well known, and whose name is inseparably united to that of Mendelesohn. It does great honour to its author. It not only has much beauty in itself, butis admirably calculated to furnish maierials for the pro duction of musical expression and effect. DRAMA. HAYMARKET. Planebes comedy of C'ourt Favour was brought out at this theatre last night, for the purpose of introducing sldebutante, who appeared under the nom de theatre of Blanche Fine. The lady is deficient in none of the que4- ties necessary to ensure her success in her profession. Bee is a thorough mistress of the traditions of tho stage; she has a remarkably flesible yoke, and a face and figure about which there can be no dispute. Iler reception was most triumphant, and the impression left on the minds of the audience was a feeling of surpriee that the manager should have delayed bringirg forward so perfect en actress until so large a number of those best able to appreciate her merits should have left London. There can be no doubt that ?dim Blanche Fane is destined to occupy an important position amongst living English actresses. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Avousr_l3. A meeting has been convened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, to take place on Saturday next, at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of urging government to carry into immediate effect the improved postal and passenger communication between London and Dublin, contemplated by the act passed in the pre sent session to facilitate that important object. The requisition addressed to the Lord Mayor contains the names of all our leading bankers and merchants, and the subject is one which excites a very lively interest among the respectable portion of the citizens. The glorious weather of the last few days still continues, with every prospect of holding up for the remainder of the season ; and never, perhaps, was there a more teeming harvest to be saved in this country than that on which the sunshine of the next few weeks may be expected to bestow the crowning blessing. The sickle has as yet done very little; in fact, almost nothing of the general harvest has been saved, but the work will ba gin in e truest to-day, and the golden fields will ripen much more rapidly than the farmers will be able to find hands to gather the treasure. On Friday last some companies of a souther& militia regiment were on parade near where fertilisers were at work, and during an interval in the drill they divested themselves of their red coats, seized the sickles, and in an inconceivably short time laid the field of oorn prostrate. It would be well it more of their brethren would follow their example during the next two or three weeks. The quantity of corn lodged by the rain and wind is considerable in some places, and the black crisp ot the potato blight has made its appearance to some extent in perhaps every field in the country, without, however, having yet caused any very serious alarm. A fog of extraordinary density visited the river of Cork on Friday evening, to the great risk of the shipping, which, however, suffered no injury. Corporal Thomas Haydoo, of the 11 rh Hessars, walked out of a window at Newbridge Barracks the other night, while in a state of somuambulism, and cow killed on the spot. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant has approved of the appointment of Joseph Boyce, Erg. (Lord Mayor), to be deputy-lieutenant for the city of Dublin. The Very Rev. Dr. O'Brien has been appointed Roman Catholic Bishop ot Waterford by his Holiness Pope Pius IX. A respite during her Majesty's pleasure has been received by the governor of uthin Gaol for Mar garet Devito, convicted at the assizes last week of the wilful murder of her illegitimate child by drown ing it in a canal at Llangollen. The directors of the north Eastern Railway Com pany have agreed to me:mini:ad, at the epproactiog belt yearly meeting of the shareholders a civiiend at the rate of bi per cent. on the Berwick shares ; of 2 per cent. on the York shares; and of 6 per cot. on the Leeds Preference Warta shares. 1
