Day-444,414( I. No Afters*" N. wit. Tossesiow—lllostai. 4d 1484.....--iftarsoad Y. 4.144. LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 2. Loan RAGLAN is at rest. Hs hes been relieved ran his arduous and responsible duties in the Crimea, and from—what mast to him have been more harassing still—the discussions which have arisen out of our military operations there. When Lord Rumen was made a Field Marshal we indulged in a retrospective review of his career, and need not now go over the ease ground again. We have not hesi tated to criticise his management when it appeared that any good could come of free expression of senti ment. But now is not the time for dwelling upon details: it is with the entire of the man we have to do when the grave is about to close over him. And the friends of Lord RAGLAN may calmly and fearlessly await the judgment which the public will pass upon him. A braver, a Mader, a more honest man never existed ; nor one who was more anxious to discharge any duties that devolved upon him to the best of his abilities. He had the interests of the army warmly at heart ; he was a tree Englishman ; he was a gentleman in the beat • and highest sense or the word. His memory will live, not only in the history of his time, but in the loving and grateful regrets of many en honest heart. An expectation seems to be prevalent that General SIMPSON is likely to be his successor. General /Mason is no doubt a meritorious regimental officer, but his appointment to the chief command would be open to objections on many grounds. If it is made, no one can entertain a doubt that the intimate rela. tions ci friendship between his family and Lord PIXIIIIIIIII will have been the principal reason for his promotion. Having frankly and without eircumlc cation stated this truth, we may be allowed to ad dress a word of warning to moms officers who, in the event of General SIMPSON'S being made Commander in -Chief, will be expected to serve under him. We know that some of them have expressed their determination not to do so ; but we hope they will reconsider this resolution before they act upon it. Every man owes something to his own dignity, but his first duty is to his country. No man has a right to indulge personal or profeisioaal sus . ceptibility to such an extent as to withdraw his ser vices at a crisis like the present. The more unfit the General in command the more need there is for good and tried soldiers to make op for his deficiencies. Moreover, it is sometimes the wisest policy to submit without murmuring to injustice. A time is sure to come when public opinion will make good the wrongs inflicted by the partial affections of the high in office. THE NEW JUDGE. After sixteen years' service Mr. Justice Mauls has retired from the Bench of the Common Pleas. Dis tinguished in his youth—for he was Senior Wrangler at Cambridge, in 1810—he has been eminent as a judge. For largeness of mind and subtlety of intel lect combined, he was unequalled amongst his ermined brethren. Failing health alone is the cause of his retiremest. The Lord Chancellor has nominated as his succemor Mr. J. 8. Wines, of the:Home Circuit. This gentle- man was called to the bar in Jane, 1840, and is thus of 15 years' standing. He is only a stuff-gown, and is about 42 years old. He is very little known out of the profession. He ought, therefore, to be rarely endowed to justify his selection to the high office he is called upon to fill. From all that we can learn, we believe that he is so endowed. He was distinguished for his mastery of metaphysical studies while an undergraduate at Trinity College, Dublin. W. yet a student in the Temple, he gained a chaenster for learning, industry, and a legal mind; and Immediately on his call to the bar he attained prellainial success and celebrity per saiturn. For an adingod knowledge of all branches of law—foreign, dead ecclesiastical—and equity, he is unequalled lams the practising members of the profession, and his immunon law learning is well known. His powers as ma advocate are not great, for his mind is eminently jelliksl—that is, so far as balancing facts and argu ments, and drawing a just conclusion from them go. Whether he has that instinctive knowledge of the human heart and character which is one of the most necessary gifts of a magistrate, we are not so certain. But we do know this, he has very great general powers of mind, which have until now been— too exclusively perhaps—employed in one channel: he has vast learning and enormous industry. Had he possessed the special powers of the advocate, he would ere this have attained such a position that a palms judgeship would have been no tempts ;ca t him. As it is, we believe him—take him for aLis I —to be most emphatically the man for tf 41 Mend so we think will the great majority oiliest wag at torneys—no mean judges. A letter from an offioer high in command in the Thema army at the Crimea has the following I have post he hears before Malakhoff, upon er 'mad ton by bomb shells sad grape thole, is the midst of the horribly mutilated armee of our lents soldiers, piously 'enacting these minims remiss for burial.

The Illimiteur thus nodose Lord Beglea's death: " Foe sews days pest lettese received frost Leaden have stated that Lad Beglsa was seriously ill. A despatch from General l'elissier, received this day under date of June 28, 10 o'clock pm., announces the death of the worthy general whom the government of Queen Victoria had chosen to command our allies in the East. France will join in the regrets of General Peliesise The following is his despatch to the Minister of Wei: "It is with profound regret I have to annonnos to you that the venerable Chief of the English army breathed his last sigh this evening at nine o'clock. We are the more grieved sines his condition had seemed for the last 24 hours much improved." SATURDAY. Orden have been given here to prepare shipping i for the embarkation of 40,000 men.

The session of the Grand Legislative Council of the kingdom was opened to-day. The ministers will submit the new fundamenlal law to the deliteration of the Orend Council. FRANCE. —op— (nioN Ova OWN coisssroNDlngt.) PARIS, SATURDAY EYININO. I am enabled to state on sore authority that the governments of France and England, participating in the opinion long since expressed by the public on the shabby conduct of Austria, are resolved to de clare the treaty of December 2 at an end. They are at this moment deliberating as to the beet form in which this result can be made public. It is desired to avoid an open rupture. I am concerned to add that at present it is determined to maintain the Austrian occupation of the Principalities. Indeed, according to my information, in the course of a very ugly diplomatic correspondence that has lately taken place, Austria has made a great merit of her occupation of the Principalities, and has in a manner threatened to withdraw. Our statesmen think it is better that she should remain there than that Omer Pacha should be forced to with- draw from the Crimea lest the Russians should re turn. It would appear, therefore, that while we (very properly) shake off the one-sided obligations we incurred by the treaty of Deo. 2, we mean to hold Austria bound by her treaty with Turkey to protect the Principalities, and thus to have them garrisoned by a power almost openly hostile to ourselves. What a complicated situation! A council of ministers was held to-day at the Tuileries. The subject of the deliberation is said to have been the Emperoi's speech, to be delivered on Monday, and the new loan; but on the former topic there can have been no discussion, and it is by no means a matter of course that the I spcech was communicated to the council. With regard to the loan, the rumour is still that the amount I will be 750 millions, but it is said that it will be ex clusively in Three per Cents., and that all subscrip tions above 10f. route (instead of 50f.) will be subject to diminution in case of a surplusage being sub scribed. Four days in Paris ' and Bin the provinces are spoken of as the period during which the sub scription will remain open. I am informed that a despatch, received to-day at the English embassy, states that the cholera is very bad in the British army. Madame Emile de Girardin died yesterday evening at the early age of from 48 to 48. This lady, es Madlle. Delphine Gay, acquired great celebrity in early life as a pcetesa. When only sixteen she was crowned by the Academy for her poem on the plague at Barcelona. Her verses on the death of General Foy were greatly landed by the journals of the time Before the revolution of 1830 she was in the habit of reciting patriotic verses of her own composition in certain liberal salons. Her success was such that she acquired the appellation of the Tenth Muss. That she was extremely beautiful is to be inferred from the following line, in which she thus speak, of herself : Js readais grace i Dieu du bonbon d'dtre bull . In 1831 Madlle. Delphine Gay married Moosieur E. de Girardin. She brought him a considerable for tune inherited from her father, who was receiver-' general at Aix-la-Chapelle. After her marriage she continued her literary career, writing feuilletons in newspapers, novels, and plays. Her last dramatic production, Tartuffe, had a great run at the Theatre Francais. Although a decided blue-stocking, Ma dame de Girardin had a great reverence for her hus band. A good story is told in illustration of b intense respect for his intellect. In times of political trouble, when discussion was raging in the parlour of her pretty villa in the Champs Elyse's, she said on one occasion—" There is one above (ta hart!) who would set all right if they would but listen to him." Her auditors thought she referred to the Supreme Being. She merely meant her husband, who was writing a leading article on the first floor. •PARIB, SUNDAY RTNNYNO. The little Bonne was in no degree affected by the news of Loed Raglan's death. The gathering on the Boulevard was much thinner than usual. Scarcely any business was done. The Rents was quoted pre cisely at the same price as yesterday and the day be fore-68fr. I have reason to believe that the Emperor's speech to-morrow will be the most warlike one that he has Over pronounced, and that vcry firm language will be used with regard to Germany. _ _ _ The Echo decole speaks in very hopeful terms of the harvest. he weather for the last few days has been all that could be desired. The blooming season has gone off weU in the forward districts, and is now going on favourably in the north. The principal risk now is a deg-day heat which may ripen the grain too quickly ; bat if, as there is every rea son to hope, this last Eames should be happily accom plished, there will be a good harvest. There will not be so much plant as is sometimes seen, bat the ears will be the better filled. The fall in flour in Paris during the week is estimated at 3f. the sack, and that in corn at from lf. to lf. 500. the hectolitre and a half.

T he y must shortly be I gained possession of, by a repetition of mann, or by 1 other operations. JUNE 17.—The bombardment opened at break of I day. A rocket from one of the French batteries on I the right of Careening Bay was the signal, and was followed immediately by a heavy fire, which began at the right, and soon extended along the lines as far as the left of the Greenhill attack. The French bat- I teries beyond did not open a general fire. A few I shells had been discharged from time to time prc- Timely along the whole line, and a little after mid night there was an active discharge of rockets from a small battery on the extreme left of our position, near the camp of the 9th Regiment, in advance of the Third Division. Two fires were noticed to spring up in the town, but they had been speedily extin guished. T he fire which now opened was of tremendous power, and was carried on with the utmost energy : everyone seemed to agree that if cannon could conquer the Russian fortifications they were now doomed to destruction. The Selinghinak Redoubt—the " Redoubts Blanche" as the French have called it, from its white parapets—had been fully armed, as well as the Mamelon, and both were now pouring a continuous fire into the batteries which at pear as if above the shore on the west of Careening Bay and into the Malakhoff Tower works. The new battery . made by our engineers above the Quarry, containing four mortars and three long 32-pounders, was throwing a raking fire into a battery, known u the Mud Battery, on the proper right (our left) of the Korniloff Bastion and the ruin of the Malakhoff Tower. The Russian batteries at first replied with energy, especially the batteries to the west of Careening Bay, and a mortar battery to the pro per left of the Malakhoff rain. The batteries first mentioned are sometimes named by us the Marine Batteries, being near the marine suburb, and by the French as La &Marie de la Pointe, because it encloses the west point of Careening Bay. The Garden Batteries on the left of the south harbour were also very active against us, and surprise was expensed that arrangements had not been made with the French works on the left for keeping these in check. The wind blew from a north-easterly direc tion, and carried the smoke from the right along the batteries and across the ravine, in which it lodged like a thick mist towards the left. So dense was the cloud of smoke that the Greenhill attack was not visible to a spec tator taking his position on the right, excepting at rare intervals, when either a temporary slackening of the fire, or • freshening of the breeze, for a few minutes cleared the obstruction away. Now and then this dense veil completely hid the whole line of batteries; and the darting flames and thick curl ing volumes of white smoke alone pointed out the position of some of the guns. 7 E.M.—The fire has continued to rage furiously. The Roden is nearly silent; one gun opens from it occasionally. Four guns are still onen in the works on the Malakhoff hill, two in the Korniloff Bastion before the ruin of the tower, and two in the battery on the right (our left) of it. The French have appeared to suffer severely in the redoubt on the Mamelon Vert ; shells from the shipping, from the Marine batteries, and from some work which appears to be behind the Malakhoff Tower, have been constantly falling in and about the work. The bat tery in front of the Mamelon has, however, continued very active against the works in front of the Round Tower. The large line of battle ships remain silent. They are drawn up, two threedeckers and two two deckers, nearly in line, some distance out in the roadstead, and appear as if intended to cover the Ma lakhoff hill with the fire of their guns. Several steamers are lying near there. 10 A.m.—Three rockets have just been fired by the French from the Victoria redoubt. They are gene rally supposed to be a signal, but the object is quite unknown. The fire both on our side and on that of the French has slackened during the last half hour. The Russian batteries are almost silent ; one gun is fired from the Round Tower about every ten minutes. The Redan has not fired for nearly three quarters of an hour. The Mud Battery in the proper right of the Korniloff Bastion is silenced : the artillerymen were compelled to quit their guns by the entliading fire from the Quarry Battery. Still no fire of any consequence from the French batteries on the left. The wind has become very changeable and high ; it is now blowing from due east. The sky, which for some time after sunrise was quite clear and bright, has become clouded. 1 P.X.—Fire still slack. Three rockets just fired from the Victoria Redoubt 2 P.N.—The fire has suddenly assumed redoubled energy. The French have opened all their batteries on the left. The lines of batteries are enveloped in a shifting atmosphere of smoke, through which heavy peals of thunder are unceasingly rolling. Some of the Russian batteries seem to have become imbued with fresh vigour. The marine batteries and some of the batteries on the west side of the south harbour are maintaining an energetic fire. The fire from the Roden and Malakhoff continues very feeble. Several rockets have been thrown from the left of the latter position. The Cossack batteries on the north side of the roadstead and some of the Inkermann batteries are pouring a constant fire against the French right. The atmosphere seems to be partaking in the general convulsion. Clouds have gathered on all sides. Fre quent whirlwinds are passing over the camp, and high columned dust are drawn up in their vortices. The wind is veering round to the westward, and though moving with considerable velocity, affords no refreshing re lief to the sun's heat; on the contrary, it hes all the ' op pressive close character of the sirocco. The moun tains beyond the Tchernaya seem to echo more loudly the roar of the gnus ; the ground under foot trembles. I From the heights near the Inkermann valley a good view is obtained of the Russian positions on the north side. In each camp troops are secs to be drawn up in columns. Two small bodies are marching in a ' direction toward the roadstead, and one has nearly arrived at the usual point of embarkation for cross ing to the south side. A long convoy of waggons is , slowly wending its way along the brow of the moun tain, raising a cloud of dust as it moves towards the Star Fort. ' The French say they have received notice that it is probable the assault will take place at four this after noon. 10 P.Y.—The fire from the batteries was kept up with energy throughout the afternoon, and lasted till the daylight disappeared. Seen from the heights above Sebastopol, the sunset wore all the appearance usually presented during a thick fog. As it sank into the sea, a reddened glare was cast through the atmosphere of smoke, and over the distant hills. The guns shortly afterwards ceased their fire, and the accumulated haze gradually disappeared. It is now a calm, clear night, the low masses of clouds have passed away,the new moon is shining gracefully among the stars, and over the scene of the day's conflict the distant spectator sea only the shells as they rise and fall in their beautiful flight Thus finishes the second Sunday after Trinity at Sebastopol. The French division of troops which marched to the plain yesterday has not moved from the position it then took up. At an early hour this morning musketry, followed by the reports of heavy guns, was heard among the hills beyond Tchorgoun, and shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon a few guns were proba hsard ble in tha ths t a port dini° on n o of f the force in Muk"gis'a the far ptn have It is been making a reconnaissance. The men's rations were ordered to be cooked and issued this afternoon for to-morrow, and it is no I s o g = t a secret that a grand attain is contemplated the whole line of batteries, from the Malakhoff to the Barrack battery, defending the Karabelnaia suburb. The utmost confidence is expensed by the highest authorities of nooses. The French are to storm the Malakhoff hill and works with • total fora of 28,000 men; the English the Roden and Gar den batteries, with 8,000 troops. These web being tabs, the month side el Sebastopol nay be Wit to have fallen into our. heads, for the Malakhoff defines. form the key to the security of the Sarabelnaia por tion, and it would not be possible for the Russians to retain the part of the town lying west of the south harbour with the allies besieging them on the centre and both flanks, and with nothing but the roadstead to fall back upon. The following are reported to be the arrangements agreed upon between the allies. The bombardment is to be renewed at daylight, and the whole power of artillery in the batteries exerted against the enemy's works. It is calculated that after.four hours' firing the enemy's positions will be rendered as practicable ,as they are likely to be made by gunnery. At a given signal the French are to advance against the Male khoff,' it being essential that this point should be at least engaged, if not occupied, before the attack on the Redan is undertaken. A consider able number of guns on the right of the Malakhoff cover the Rodeo, but the Redan does not bear on the Malakhoff. The English troops are particularly not to show themselves in the trenches, so that the enemy, supposing the assault to be confined to the Malakhoff-hill, may be diverted from concentrating a force to defend the Redan. The attack against the Redan is to be made by Ithree storming columns. They are to be under the I command of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown. The columns are to be composed of men from the Light, Fourth, and Second Divisions. The columns from the Light and Fourth Divisions are simultaneously to attack the two flanks of the Redan : the Light Divi sion assaulting the left flank, the Fourth Division the right flank. When these are carried, and a lodgment effected, the column of the Second Division is to attack the salient angle, and to make a road there for the entrance of the working parties. If a retrenchment be found within the work, it is to be converted into part of the cover ; if none exist, the working parties will at once establ 4 ih the necessary protection. Each storming column is to consist of 400 men, and to have a support of 800 men. Reserves will be in the trenches. The working parties will be 400 strong for each column. The columns attacking the two flanks will be each preceded by a covering party_ ofl 100 riflemen. There will also be an officer of En gineers, with some Sappers and Miners, a body of men of the Rifle Brigade, carrying woolsack., and a body of sailors carrying scaling ladders. These two columns are to be formed in the Quarry outwork, the, trenches connected with it, and leading toward the, Redan, and also the trenches made by the Russians to the right. The column of the Fourth Division is to assemble on the left of the Quarry work, to be nearest to the right flank of the Itedan; that of the Light Division on the opposite side. The first brigade of the Light Division will fur nish the assaulting column, support, and working parties. The second brigade are to form the guard to the trenches to-night, and the reserve to-morrow. This storming column is to be under the immediate command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lyeons, 23rd Regi ment, and is to consist of 200 men of the 23rd and 200 of the 34th Regiments. Colonel Yea, of the 7th Fusiliers, is to act as brigadier-general in the Light Division attack ; and General Codrington is to assume temporary command of the whole division, while Sir George Brown commands the general attack. The storming column from the Fourth Division is to consist wholly of men of the 57th Regiment, and to be under the command of Lieut. Colonel Shadforth. Captain Peel, R.N., will command the naval con tingent. Sir George Brown is to be in the 8-gun battery in rear of the second parallel, right attack ; Field Marshal Lord Raglan is to take up a position in another battery of the same attack. The signal for the British assault is to be a flag hoisted in the 8-gun battery. A brigade of the Third Division, under Mor General Eyre, is to make an attack upon the Ga rden Battery, on the west side of the south harbour. It is to consist of the 18th, 38th, and 41th Regiments. The 10th Hussars have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for special service. Fifty troopers from each regiment of the Cavalry Division, excepting the 10th, are to move to the front at daybreak. It is generally supposed that a simultaneous movement will take place in the plain, that a part of the Sardinian and French forces encamped there will cross the Tchernaya river and attack the Russian position on the Inkermann mountain, and so draw off part of the troops on the north side, which might otherwise be brought across to reinforce the garrison of Sebastopol. It is pre sumed the 10th Hussars are to act in conjunction with this force. It is also asserted that the French will make a feigned movement on the left, taking ad vantage of any circumstances which may offer them selves. Another rumour states that the fleet will effect an entrance into the roadstead, and assist the land forces. The First Division is to move to the front at an early hour and form a second reserve. Such is supposed to be the general plan of the attack. JUNE 18, 8 A.M.—A few lines will suffice to describe the result, so contrary to what was antici pated, of the assault upon the Malakhoff and Redan. It is a subject that no Englishman can wish to dwell upon ; for although the same indomitable courage was exhibited that shone forth so conspicuously in the fatal charge at Balaklava, it was displayed to as little purpose, and was attended by a like disastrous sacrifice of life. Shortly before 3 a.m. the attacking columns, sup ports, and reserves, being in their respective positions in the trenches, before the sun had risen to dissipate the dense vapours which a slight breeze from the east ward failed to remove, and just as the batteries were expected to open in full force, a sudden fire of musketry between the Malakhoff works and the Mamelon attracted universal attention. The long lines of ambulance mules of the French were only commencing to thread their way through the ravines to the scene of intended attack, the leading troop of the cavalry expected from below was just appearing in sight, the reserve of Guards and High landers had not yet arrived. A musketry attack was least of all expected at that hour. The Russians had advanced by the left of the Malakhoff-hill, and taking advantage of the uncertain light of the early dawn, had made a sortie against the French in their ad vanced trenches on the Mamelon. The sortie was repulsed ; and had it ended here the chief points in the programme of the day's events need not have been interfered with. But by a fatal mistake the success in repelling the sortie was at once followed up, and,seizing the temporary advantage,the repulse became converted into an attack upon the Malakhoff itself. Some of the French troops mounted the hill, others, pursuing the Russians who had made the sortie, followed them to the gorge of the work, and thus actually gained admission into the work itself. Now the error was discovered; the Russians showed themselves in over powering numbers, and but few:of our Allies who had gained admission into the works of the Malakhoff effected their escape. At the same time, the enemy crowded upon the parapets, and poured a deadly rifle fire into the troops attempting to mount the hill, while grape and canister were discharged from field pieces placed in commanding positions. Oar Allies were absolutely forced to retire within the protection of their advanced trench. Before this shelter had been obtained, and while the troops were fighting within and around the Malakhoff, the flag was hoisted in the 8-gun battery. Late in the day previous the ar rangement respecting the composition of the storm ing column under Colonel Lysons had been changed. Instead of 200 men from the 23rd Fusiliers and 200 men from the 34th Regiment, the column was to consist wholly of men of the 34th Regiment, the number remaining the same. This involved other changes in the composition of the supports and work ing parties. The storming column from the Fourth Division remained as before arranged. The signal for the assault was no sooner given than it was per ceived, and at once these brave men left their shel ter in the trenches. Just what the Rus sians were waiting for : the columns bad no sooner shown themselves, than the fire from above opened. It was not to be counted by gaps—it was a raging storm, an incessant rain of grape and rifle balls. The dead and wounded strewed the ground ; it was a mira cle bow any escaped. On the left, Colonel Shadforth had fallen; on the right, Colonel Lysone, wounded in the knee, found himself close to the deep foes., but, out of his four hundred, with not more than forty around him. Neither the woolsacks nor the ladders were at hand, but that was a matter of little import, for the parapets were covered with dense lines of the enemy, and on every aide the deadly grape swept down its victims. The Roden was filled with troops. Sup ports sent to the otorming parties add motile of any avail, and nothing was left bat to retie , w i t h the hope of renewing the attack• at a more teasoaaw opportunity. Until the official returns are conceited, it will art be possible to know the total loss we have entan is i on this occasion. Brigadier General Sir John Quip, bell, who pushed forwatd with the Fourth Divans storming column, and Colonel Lacy Yea, who vie commanding the whole Light Division attack, aa who also pushed forward with the stem log column under Colonel Lynne, were been killed. They fell near to the enemy's works. Wad Yes, who distinguished himself no less by his ink ing energy in providing for the welfare of his ment than by his courage and bravery in the lieu, is a serious loss, not merely to his regiment and vision, but to the whole army. The 67th had thole colonel and two officers killed, and seven As sn wounded. The 34th had four officers killed and* wounded. The 33rd Regiment had four A w e killed and two wounded. 'fhe Zth Fusiliers had ess officer killed and nine or ten wounded. Ia the Rile Brigade two officers were killed and three wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Mundy, of the 33rd Regimen, who was lately wounded in the shoulder, and lettne sick Het to take his share in this attack, received a gunshot wound near the hip. Lieutenan t Valentine Bennett and Langford Heylead o the same regiment, were killed; Lieges/its Colonel Johnstone lost his left hand, and tains Quayle and Thomas Wickham were by wounded, the former, it is feared, mortally. M e * General Jones, of the Royal Engineers, who was is the 8-gun battery in the right attack, received is injury in the forehead from a stone driven from the parapet by a round shot, and suffered from profuse bleeding. In the same battery Capt. George Browne, of the 88th Regiment, had his right arm carried of by a round shot. The same shot killed two men g his side. Lieut.-Colonel Tylden, of the Royal E ng l. nun, a most valuable officer, had both thighs pierced by a rifle ball, the bone on one side, it is said, being broken. The brigade under Mejor•General Eyre carried the work against which their force was directed, bathes teen unable to take advantage of their success, in consequence of the failure in the attack upon the Itedan. They are, indeed, for the present p r i soners in the battery they have taken; they are unable to leave it without being exposed to a deadly fire. Their loss is not known, but one or two messages have been managed to be sent. The 18th Regiment his particularly suffered. Fears are ale o expressed respecting General Eyre. The regiments will not be able to quit until darkness has arrived. Altogether, our loss, it is calculated, will amount to between fifty and sixty officers killed and wounded: The number of men killed and wounded is not known. Many bodies are still lying on the ground near the Redan. Some of the wounded have contrived to creep in to our trenches: among others, an o ffi cer who first fell wounded at the ditch of the Redan. He held up a white pocket handkerchief, as a signal that he reit. dered himself, but the Russians standing on the para pet fired a volley, and again wounded him in the chest. The Russians must have suffered severely, for the shot and shell fell thickly in the Malakhoff batteries and Redan, while the enemy crowded the works. About 5 a.m. some very heavy firing was heard on the extreme lett, and it was generally attributed to broadsides from our fleet. A hope was suddenly felt that they had forced their way through the sunken ships at the mouth of the roadstead, and would soon divert the fire from the Russian steamers, which were making severe havoc in the French columns near the Mamelon. But in a short time the fire ceased, and the hope was dissipated. The ex• pected attack on the right, by the army in the plain, against the Inkermaun heights, was also eagerly listened for, but nothing was heard, and it has since been ascertained that it did not take place. Two Russian battalions monad from the north side after the attack had commenced. The detachments of cavalry which had been ordered up to the front, and which it was supposed had beta reserved for protecting our right flank against any approach of the enemy, or assisting in some move. ment in that direction, as it turned out were intended only to prevent spectators from advancing to obtains view of the engagement. They extended themselves in a line across the sloping ground from Greenhill to the Careening Bay ravine, and kept back from passing this barrier many an anxious visitor from Balaklays and elsewhere. Two great mistakes appear to have influenced the whole of this attack. The first was in permitting the enemy by the early sortie to divert us from the original plan of the undertaking; the second, an over-confidence in our own strength and resources se compared with those of the enemy. Had the bom bardment from the batteries taken place the enemy would probably have supposed it would continue all day, and withdrawn, a great part of hie troops, for their security, from the neighbourhood of the works. It might be presumed that the enemy would not have made the attack against the French at the Mamelon without having large reserves within reach. To attack the Redan with two storming co. lamas of 400 men each appears to have been a hope less case; the ditch was deep and broad, the abattis dense, and there were at least five thousand men within the work. The sailors, if employed in the undertaking, might perhaps 'have best more useful otherwise than in carrying the ladders. With their comrades falling about them. and under the excitement of getting at the enemy, the ladders were not carried to the place intended. The failure is more than ever to be regretted at the present moment, when, beyond all doubt, the spirit of the enemy had become depressed by their reverses in the Sea of Azoff. It is said that General Pelissier has declared be will have the Malakhoff Tower before night, but no preparations for renewing the attack are at present visible. A rumour has gained ground that a deserter from our ranks had made the Russians acquainted with the intended attack, and that it was a rase to autici. pate it by a sortie. It is not necessary to resort to such an explanation. The Russians had a flag flying within the Malakhoff works all the time of the engage meat. It is feared the French loss in killed and wounded is very great; the number at present is only matter of surmise. The early morning was calm and fine; About ten o'clock the wind became very high, and clouds of dust filled the air, and towards noon rain fell. The after noon became fine. JUNE 19.—The success of yesterday induced the enemy last night to make a sortie in force against our advanced works and those of the French. At half. past 12 o'clock a tremendous fire of musketry opened, and the divisions in front were called under arms. The fire ceased, however, without their assistance being required. No particulars are known beyond the fact of the Russians being gallantly repulsed. Their loss must have been great as they retired from the fire of the batteries. The Guards and Highlanders gave the greater part of the trench duties in the right attack. It is currently stated that an expedition consisting of a force of Sardinians and French, together with 500 men of our 10th Hussars, is to start to•day in the direction of Mackenzie's farm. The 10th Hussars were under orders last night to move to the plain about two hours before daybreak this morning. in the AN ALT OF COURAGE. An officer of the 19th Regiment writes the lowing . : "Private John Lyons, of the Grenadier company of my regiment, performed a daring and gallant act in the Quarry work which our fellows took from the lenemy the other evening. A 32-pounder shell sent from a battery near the Round Tower struck the ground short of the work, and thence, by ricochet, alighted on the parapet. From the parapet it rolled down to the inner side, among a group of men who were lying under its cover—some belonged to the Rifle Brigade, Nome to the 19th Regiment. There was seemingly no escape. The fuze was burning and hissing with that peculiar rushing noise which few can hear close to them without some degree of alarm. It win what is commonly called a live shell; that is, a shell ready to scatter death and destruction on all around. A few moments, and the faze would communi cate with the bursting discharge, the shell would be rent to please, and no one could say how many would fall victims from its fragments. 'My God ! we're all marched,', cried out one of the men ;but, on the I
