LONDON, !WEIDA Y, • 41,1 .3' MI - I ALL the south side of the harbour of lioloolied L la the pommies of the Allies,—not a slitele Sato den remains there except as a prisoner. Temallie war readers to form as clear a conception of the process by which this important issue hes been obtained, as the curt telegraphic despatches admit of, we submit to them a thyme of the operations from the moment of re-opening the bombardment. The Preach and English batteries opened their fire st daybreak on the sth inst. The bombardier/it was continued all that day and the next withostalmsben. big. On the night between the sth rug ads. a Russian two.decker was set on fire by a *elk sad burnt to the water-edge. On the afteround the 7the another Remise frigate was set on Are sad deenordt. A great explosion was based 'anon the Ruda" works about midnight—supposed. to ban been of magazine oa the north side. On the morning of the Bth a great See was observed to be burning about the middle of the tows of Sebastopol. At noon on the same day a simultaneous attack was made= the Malakhoff, the Careenisg Bay Rehm, and the Central Bastion by the French; en the Roden by the English. The two first mentioned works were carried by assault, nod•our gallant Allies made good their position in the entrenchments of the Malakhoff, but were forced tocetim from the Careening Bay Redan by the Leavy fire of the enemy. The attack on the 'Central /testi= proved unsuccessful. The English carried the salient of the Radon, but were forced to retire before the enemy's artillery and his powerful reserves. General Prussian says, 4‘ Our loss was severs:" General Simrsox, "The casualties, I regret to say, are somewhat heavy." On the morning of the 9th it was found that the Russians had evacuated the South Side. During the Freud- I tug night they had blown up their magazines and set Are to the town. As soon as their troops were withdrawn, the bridge connecting the south side of the harbour with the north was broken up. All the Remise men-of-war in the harbour were destroyed daring the night. General SIMPSON states that they were " burned ;" Sir E. LYONS, that they were "soak." The Russian navy in the Black See is now reduced to three small steamers, in the harbour of Se bastopel, within range of and exposed to the artillery of the Allies. The most torpid imagination may be enabled, even by this bald and meagre narrative, to °inkjet, up a lively presentment of the terrors of the sane. For moms time previous to the attack, we know that the Russians were availing themselves of their newly-con structed floating bridge to convey large reinforcements of men and artillery across the harbour from the north. The antagonists mustered their utmost dis posable strength on both sides for the death-grapple. For three days and nights did the Allies continue to pour an sointermitting storm of shot and shells upon the doomed fortalioes, from artillery of unpre cedented calibre and range. For a time the enemy continued to reply with a fire almost as heavy and vigorously sustained. At intervals might be heard above the roar of artillery the explosions of wags eines ; the intermittent flashes of the guns were out shone by the blaze of burning hums and ships. At soon of the fourth day, after a temporary lull, the assailants rushed to the attack under a salvo from all their batteries. Next was heard in fierce and rapid succession the sharp cracks of thousands of rifles. A deadly hand to hand struggle ensued as soon as the columns of the assault crowned the crumbllsg walls and mounds of the defences, and then again theßussian artillery opened with redoubled roar. The immediate result appeared doubtful. The Russians, unable to regain the Malakhoff, . receded from that position ; the troops which had assaulted the two Roden' and the Central Bastion retired within their trenches. There was a brief pause on both aides to recruit ex hausted nature. Then arose from within the fortifica tions,in rapid succession, the explosions of magazines, and these volcanic eruptions had scarcely ceased when the shades of night were lit up by the lurid glare of a burning town and a burning fleet. At an early hour of the morning all the southern forts of Sebas topol were left untenanted; the broad waters of the gulf were interposed between the com batants of the preceding day, and their surface was only dotted at rare intervals by a few small steamers, the fragments of a broken bridge, and the top-masts of sunken ships. The silence of exhaustion settled down on the scene of strife, where for four continuous days the roar of artillery, the crash of explosions, and the shouts of men preternaturally excited by the awful contest, bad berated through the hollow mince with deafening effect. The universal mind of London was last night fairly thrown off its balance by the anocrones ment of the triumphant issue of the dread struggle. For a time the rush of the multitude to obtain early copies of the evening journals bore a strong similitude to an hirsute. The excitement spread rapidly droner all the crowded streets. From every church tower and steeple the bells rang out the 'larum of victory with deafening clamour- The French Embassy was the first to illuminate, and the example was followed in many places. All this exultation, alter months of anxious expects tioo, was irresistible. All ranks, all ages, all temps :smuts were carried away by the spfiertide of contagious enthusiasm. By the time these lines meet the eyes of our readers, the slostrifying intelligeoce will have produced the same east through every proclaim of the United Kingdom. We may my with the post " Now universal England getteth drank"—at least with mental in toxication.

While the troops on the right were engaged at the Malakhoff, Naomi de Sallee made a diversion on the other side of the town, from the left attack, against the Central Bastion, but] did not effect a permanent lodgment.

(mow ova owx oozziopoiroxirr.) TURIN, MONDAY. General La Marmon writes that the Russians have I withdrawn from the town, after having set it on fire, blown up all the public buildings and works of defence, and sunk their last ship. The Sardinians have lost forty men in the trenches. The correspondent of La Presse, writing from St. Petersburg, under date Sept. 1, rays : Oa the receipt of Prise; Gorteirakofre despatch an nouncing the fellers at the Tohernaya, the Emperor Alexander immediately summoned a Council of War, com posed of all his west competent generals. The Emperor read the despatch to them, and a dissuasion took place u to the new plea of operation to be adopted in order to restore to the troops the moral outage which this defeat had shaken. Thereupon the Emperor ordered an enquiry into the con duct of General Read. The Emperor, addressing Prince llentchikoff, who, as well as General Denenberg, was pre sent, inquired why it was that the system of attack had not been followed up when the enemy were snffsriag from die ease, and had sot those reinforcements which now viable them to fight with advantage. Prime Mentehikoff imme diately replied that they were famed to abandon the series of successive attacks. in ocesequenee of the want of powder. Upon this the Emperor quickly turned round to Prises Dolgorooky, the Minister of War, and bitterly upbraided him for his inconceivable negligence in not keep ing the army well supplied with all the necessary monitions of war. Prism Dolgorosky gruffly mimed that the asser- 1 tion was (else, and that there had never been any want of either provisions or maattioas in the C►ima or elsewhere. Prince Mentehikoff retorted that the bliaister of War did eat know what he was saying; and that a person who had neither smelt nor burned powder was incompetent to give an opinion on that question. If the Emperor had not dis solved the Council. by ordering General Aide•de•Camp Count Alexis Orloff to institute an inquiry, with the view of assertaiaing the truth of the two statemeute, no one knows to what length the dispute might have gone. The letter adds: The COOlillaance of the war will destroy the mill tary reputation of Priam Gestehakeff, ae it has already done with reseed to Prism Paskiewitcb, Prism Metathi koff, General Dannenberg, and many ethers.

However, Russia is dissatisfied with the timid sad almost dandestine policy of the Cabinet of Berlin. The Barrenhails of Hamburg quotes a letter from Berlin, of the 7th, which gives the following u a passage of Count Neseelrode's last despatch:—" The uodersigned is oertsin that he is not mistaken as to the sentiment' of the Emperor, his master, when he admits that the wish of the late Emperor to take into consideration, with the most perfect respect, any proposition for peace, compatible with the honour and dignity of his name and throne, is strongly shared by the reigning Emperor."

COMPOSITORS' LIBRARY. This institution was opened yesterday, at No. 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street, and from the catalogue before us we are glad to perceive that its shelves are I=l l by nearly thousand _ two volumes of sterling merit. The strenuous efforts that have been made v the London compositors for the establish ment of their library and reading-room are at length mimed with complete success. Let us hope it will rove a stimulus to other bodies of workmen to " go sad do likewise." This gratilying fact will be read with pleasure by those who are earnestly watching the varied social features of our eventful times, and hailed by the philanthropist and the friend of educa tional pewees as a pleasing p roof that there is • spring of improvement welling irresistibly upwards. From the catalogue we perceive that many of the most valuable works have been presented by compositors themselves--a fact which says much for the literary taste and judgment of that numerous and important body. One of the most gratifying features of this institution is the alacrity and liberality with which literary men and publishers have come forward to aid the onward progress of this good work, thus lending the high sanction of their names and social position to a move ment which, if followed by other protections, may yet be destined to *Sect a great bat peaceful change in the social condition and educational acquirements of the industrial classes of the community. The opening of each an institution as the Compositors' Library and Reading-room is a significant fact, and, let us hope, as example which will be speedily followed by other bodies of working men, not only in this densely pop:- laced metropolis, but throughout the length and breadth of the land. A great social problem is in mimeo( solutioc, and the compositors of Loudon may well feel proud of the distinguished literary and other aid which has been so generously and spon taneously afforded to them in their praiseworthy efforts at self-improvement. Amongst the donors to this institution we perceive the names of the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone Major-Gemmel T. Perronet Thomp eon, Messrs. C hambers, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and a number of gentlemen whose sautes and influents, are never wanting in the cause of educational progress. The catalogue before oak necessarily inoomplete, bat we doubt not an im proved edition will speedily be published, as works conflates to opine in daily. Yesterday, after the publication of the catalogue, a princely donation at 165 volumes, of starling merit, and handsomely belted, were received from his Royal Highness Prises Albert, off odiog another prootot the deep interest which that popular Prince takes in everything affecting the welfare, intellec tually or materially, of the working classes.

Goitobakoff was about to present his creden tials to the Emperor Francis Joseph as perma sent Russian plenipotentiary at Vienna, the English Cabinet proposed to declare that if Prince Gortchakoff were received in that character, the French and English Governments would be under the painful necessity of leaving themselves represented at Vienna by simple chargé. d'afaires, but that the French Emperor, who clung to the alliance of December 2, came to the rescue, and pro posed that those frank and direct questions should be put to Austria, to which it seems she has since given what are accepted as satis factory answers. The substance of the above has, I believe, already appeared in print. But I believe it is not known that during the military negotiations Austria intimated that she could not carry on war:on the Russian frontier without an army of a million of men, of which she proposed that France and England should find half. Napoleon 111. thought this num ber a great deal more than was necessary, but offered a contingent of 300,000. Austria adhered to her original proposition (which, by the way, it is difficult to believe serious), and upon this the negotiations broke off. Thereupon it was that the Emperor re solved to go to the Crimea himself, in order to show clearly that he intended to isolate his policy from that of Austria. All the remonstrancem of the dif ferent representatives of the Powers of Europe in Paris against this project would, the Constitutionnel says, have been in vain, had not the Emperor Francis Joseph written an autograph letter protesting his firm resolution always to march cordially with France, and representing how much the dangers of the pro jected journey to the East weighed upon all minds, seeing that Napoleon 111. now belonged not only to his own country, but to all Europe. This, the Con stitutionnel says, is textual.

Galignani gives the following account of a terrible accident on the Versailles Railway : A most lamentable accident occurred last evening oa tbe Versailles (Left Bank) Railway. About a quarter past seven o'clock, close to the goods yard at Vaugirard, a pas sengers' train coming to Paris was, by a false movement of the switches, directed on the ha* of rails leading to the yard; and on its way came against another train ready prepared for starting. One waggon was crushed to pieces by the shock, and another greatly injured ; and we regrat to say that by the collision sine persons were killed, and seventeen wounded. Every a!tention was paid by the employis of the railway to the persons injured, who, in the coarse of the evening, were conveyed to their places of residence. The Patric says that two or three carriages were crushed by the &bock, and that among the nine persons killed wu an infant only eighteen days old, who was killed in its mother's arms. She escaped with a broken limb, and the father, who wu sitting opposite, wu merely slightly bruised. The Pro cureur Imperial has visited the scene of the acci dent, and • severe judicial inquiry is instituted. The left bank of the Versailles Railway has been singularly unfortunate, many dreadful accidents having occurred upon it within the space of a few years. The International Statistical Congress opened its sittings to-day, in the Palace of the Corps Legislatif, The Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works presided and made an inauguration speech, thanking, in the name of the Emperor, those go vernments which had sent official representatives to this "peaceful arena," and also those nations who had furnished so many voluntary coadjutors. Dwell ing at length upon the object of the con gress, he stated that over and above the attributes for which it commonly had credit, the glory of the science of statistics was that it discovered and showed forth those general laws which tended to make men better and happier. The business of the meeting was confined to voting the regulations of its , subsequent sittings. A correspondence in the Pearie contradicts the telegraphic report of Count Nesselrode being about to travel, and affirms that he has no intention of leaving St. Petersburg. A despatch - from Mount's, dated this day, an nounces the arrival of the Jourdain with Constant'. nople letters of the 3rd. Omer Paths had left for Varna. By Imperial decree of the 29th ult., a supple mentary credit of 44,563,885 fr., is opened to the Minister of Finance for the year 1855. Of the amount, 10,249,593 fr. are to be employed in the pay ment of interest on the Foir-sod-a-Half per Cent.

In a recent sitting of the Council-General of the Dordogne, a report wee read announcing that from inquiries instituted, the yield of wheat, rye, and wheat and rye combined, presents a deficit of about 30 pee oent. on an average year; but that, on adding the stock in hand and the autumn crops, there will be sufficient to feed the population. In the Council- General of the Loiret, it has been reported that the yield of wheat is 20 per cent. below that of an ordi nary year; that of wheat and rye, 48 per cent. below; that of rye, 24 per cent. below; but the crop of barley, is stated to be 10 par cent. bighee than the mop, l:' , • EXPRESS FROM PARIS. that of oats, 18 per cent. higher, and that of potatoes a fair temp. o M• 'Amu, Senator, and lately Minister of Finna n ,.

Accord ing to the first, the Cabinet of St. l'etersburg, inclin ing towards peace, is indirectly seeking to renew ne gotiations. On the other WA, some people nay that the Cabinet of Vienna is preparing for an evolution which will lead Austria to associate herself more ac tively with the policy of the Western Powers, and to give them the aid of her arms. All these versions, says the Constasitionnel, "invented by interest and repeated by credulity," are founded on no serious basis. Six weeks ago, it continues, we described the diplomatic situation, and stated that this situation threatened to continue unchanged, until some decisive military events should exercise an influence either on the determination of Austria or the resolutions of Russia. What we then predicted is now being fel ' filled, and the Eastern question remains precisely r where it was, with this difference only, that our arms have made snob indisputable progress as promises , them a speedy triumph. Another of the long series of the Constitutionnel Vienna letters appears to-day, and gives some inte resting retrospective accounts of the negotiations be tween Austria, France, and England.

The interruption of diplomatic intercourse bete.* the Courts of Turin and Florence, already annul* by telegraph, is stated by the Piemonte of Turi n to have arisen as follows :—Count Antonio Giusti, late attache to the Sardinian Embusy at Constantinop* having been appointed to the Embassy at Flom *, the Tuscan govergment made no objection at the ti t ' s , but when, according to custom, the Ambftiado r .

NAPLES. A letter from Rome, in the Gatelte de Lyon, 4 4 the following version of the dissensions between the English embassy at Naples and the Neapolitan government : " You have doubtless heard of the altercations of XI Maria, direetcw•pneral of the police at Naples, with*. Fagan, secretary of the British legation. The tree mu lc t them, which bas not been stated by the newsman, atilt England is raising, as is known, an Italian legion. a le has established the principal depot for it at Malta, sag the enlistment offline in Piedmont are only branches d that depot. At Malta, she has set apart for the leers Fort Manuel, which contains barracks for about two thousand men. The English are neturslly deeirons to obtain the excellent Swiss soldiers in the service of th e King of Naples; but to get them it was necessa r y t o d ar d s them with higher pay than that which they now mein. The Nespolitru government gives them about 75e per day, . but England offers life. 25a, and 65e. additional as eash• psign pay. Mr. Fagan thought that it was only seesaw, to make this fact known in the Swiss regiments, and the macceovre bas is • certain extent succeeded; there hays been deserters, men on furlough have not returned to their • corps, and those where engagements expired have not made new ones. M. Campane, the chief of police, made a report on these facts to the minister, M. Massa. The latter being one evening at the theatre del Fonds, . and seeing Mr. Fagan in the box of Genezel Filangieri, Prince de Satriano, raised his lorgnoa to make sure of his identity. Mr. Fagan imitated him with • affectation. M. Mena thereupon seat to the ,general to say that he ought not to receive such a man. The mini,, being ignorant of the affair of the enlistments, expraug • astonishment at receiving the message of the Minister of Police, and refused to cause Mr. Fagan to lease his bow X Mena, in consequence, made use of mere language, rd Mr. Fagan has mat a report on the affair to the bib* Minister of Foreign Affairs. Similar means of Wein* P have bees employed in the two regiments in the serene of the Holy See by the agents of Menial. The Punning government accordingly takes precautions against foreigners who arrive, and who, under pretence of rusticating at Frs. cati and Albano, attempt to approach the garrisons of the Swiss. THE CAMP. The :following is an extract from the letter of a officer : Before Sebastopol, Leg. 28. The brilliancy of the moon has not allowed us to make mach progress with our advance trenches during the lad , three days, nor will it for some days yet to cone. The enemy have completed their bridge of rafts mon the hen boat, and yesterday they took hundreds of carts, de. ants it from both the north side and south side of Sebaltopd. The general opinion out here is that we shall be attacked all round very shortly; one thing you may rely spas, that if the enemy do try to fern our preitioe s say at Balaklava or any other spot, it will be a most deter mined attack. The French authorities, I understand, u• petted that something would take place on the morning d the 26th. These constant alarms and expected attacks we very annoying, for both officers and men of the Raga army are still confined to camp in consequence. The men meats that some of the men in each camp get up, are foot- ball, quoits, a kind of skittles, and toeing up. Ia the trenches they play cards a good deal. It would be a great boon if the government sent out to each corps a supply of articles for games, particularly as winter is now coming on. The principal topic of conversation amongst them just now is the floating bridge. The fact of dole being made convinces them that no plunder will be now obtained on the south side of Sebastopol. Amongst the offline@ slightly wounded since the 25th I have to mention Captain Charles Arbuthnot, Royal Artillery ; Make Higginbotham, 63rd Regiment ; Lieutenant Brink 88th. and Lieutenant Rotte, 90th Light Infantry. The last officer will, I believe, be the future Earl of Stradbroke, and the first named officer bee the reputation of bend one of the beat artillery officers oat here, beside, one of the coolest under fire that it is possible to conceive. On promotion to first captain lately, he exchanged compa nies so uto be able to remain out here. I hear that inn& leg he has received a flesh wound, but I trash if only far the sake of the Artillery, that he will not be obliged to leave the Crimea, as this arm of the service, particularly " the siege train," cannot afford to lose many such officers. With reference to general after orders of the 26th, I may Wont you that the investiture took place as gad, at 2in the . afternoon, but owing to the position of the troops and the great number of French, Sardinian, and navel office Ste., that crowded round the throne, or date, formed ant of the portico leading from the courtyard into °canal Simi* son's house, very few were enabled to pee any portion of the ceremony ; but I have little doubt that the whole effect was very pretty from the house itself. Brigadier-General Garret, 46th Regiment, commanded the 600 men of the 4th Division, and Brigadier Genets'. Barlow,l4th Regnant, ' the 600 men of the 3rd Division. At bead.quarters a capitol breakfast and luncheon were given as a Wad few, and after the latter Lord Stratford de Redcliffe again left for Conyantinople. Sir HI Jones was too ill to be present et the ceremony, Ind so had to be invested in his hut. Before elating that letter, I must bring under your notice the absurd meant in which they reward out here men who distingioCh themselves under heavy fire ; and also the sad manner a which that scientific, and, as everybody mum alley, that deserving corn of Sappers and Miners, hes been neglected. One would have thought that by this time expenenn would have taught England better policy, and that as would have held out every inducement to 'mourns lin soldiers to perform their duties cheerfully ; but to 'eel" more fully what I mean by "absurd rewards," I funnels you with two extracts from the Brigade Orders, Relg Sappers and Miners, which I have succeeded in procurinl: - - sstoaea 0/DIIBB. Head-quarters betore Sebastopol, July 27, 1915- The Major ‘General eommandicg, having received a special report of the conduct of Corporal John Ross, tad Comp's/ Royal Sappers and Miners, while employed in the trenches of the right attack, on the night of the 214 inst., hes had much gratification in bringing the name of this noncom missioned officer under the notice of the Lieutenant General Commanding in Chief, who has been pleased to award hilt a donation of two sovereigns. By order, &c. SRIOADI ORDERS. Head-qoarters before Sebastopol, August 24, 1850. The Major-General bas bed much pitman in bringing under the notice of the Commander of the Forces the COP duet of Corporal Roes, Royal Sappers and Miners, in chugs of the advance on the Redao, which was reported by the officer of Engineers on duty last night, as extremely csr ditable, and General Simpson has awarded him a grange/ of three sovereigns. By order, &c. Now 61. is not the way to reward a man like Corporal HAP for his services. He ought to have been made a supernumerary sergeant the first time, ea for the second report ought to have been girt a commission and a distinguishing medal. understand he is a capital notreomminioned ofilost parade, besides having 12 years service. The Sappen sai Miners oat here consist of nine commune; but through their severe losses from their ennead duties in the trenches, and through sickness instead of being 900 strong, they ero under 500 in camp; besides which, shoat one in seven ars in hospital. Of thee* nine companies, three of them ben been through the campaign in Balwaris, fur were at Aimee five at Inkermann, and the whole have regularly done dot/ in the trenches ; and yet, with the exception of the ordst of Medidgeo, which a few of the 10th company ob• tallied lately for the campaign on the Danube, not coo glib distinguishing medal has been given to the corps, 9 er barl • single norconstaissionod officer been given a COMlllieekla the Engineers or the line. Even the quartermasterti now tamed into a D.A.Q.M.G., was most taussal ikot by an officer of engineers k and at this moment, al there are nine companies in one camp, the home author have never sanctioned the appointment of a peratuT quar termaster or sergeasrmsjor. How, with all 19T stories u in the facie, can Englishmen upset these mule do their peculiar daties efficiently? And yet they do ; (relit gallant conduct of the Sappers and Miners gentralllt easily during a bombardment, when they have to Nem the embrasures, is the wonder of the whole army.
