Joshua Lewis, seaman, burnt severely; William Tay.or, and followed them as far into the bay as the depth of water captain 'tier guard, burnt severely; Charles Tit; well, would permit. The pirates, quite aware of their ad . tentage in : seaman, cutlass wound. light draught, and conscious of their ability to resist sac- I woefully any attempt that might be made o • them by the boats of the stamen, fired a few harmless teoadsides in deism*, and stood is towards Kalan. Captain Fellowee thereupon returned to Hoeg Kong. and invited the co opetratkni of the Molted States sloamer Powhaten, now in this barbital under repairs • when it was determined that the Rattler with three Wits and 100 officers and men of 6166 Amwlsea steam frigate, should form the expedition, Captain Caldwell volunteeries the use of his steamer to tow the boats up the bay. Accordingly the Rattler, with the Eaglet in tow, and the Powbatan ' s busts astern of her again, left the abour on Friday, shout three o'clock, the first lieutenant (Pogrom) of the Powbatan, with Lieutenant Jones mad his marines, taking passage in the Rattler, and the blue jaekets in the Eaglet The stamen arrived eke, to Kulan before midnight, the Eaglet anchoring a couple of cables' length in shore of the man-of-war. At Imo nest zooming the launches were sent alongside the Rate tier for the marines, and then, with the Powhatan'e cults; and three boats from the Rattler besides the captain's gig, made fast uteri' of the 12 orlet, which, everything Woo ready, steamed slowly up the bay. At Kulan only sae junk was to be seen, and it was feared the birds had flown ; but Captain Caldwell descried a lorcha at anchor at the head of the bey, and steered in that direction. The lorelm got under weigh, apparently with the intention of esesping, when Captain Fellow.. despatched too Rattler's plasm and Powbatan's cottet• to intercept her, and these has us' fortunately got beyond recall before the pirate fleet with their prime, nisetherine in all some 38 sail, were observed at anchor in the narrow and shallow passage from which the lorcha had started. As the steamer approached the junks hoisted their sails, but without getting under weigh, until several Conroy' rockets, discharged from the Eaglet's quarter deck by Mr. Pine, the g , and two marine artillerymen from the Rattler, and two or three well directed shots from her 32.potiader, fired by Mr. Randall, her chief officer, startled them from their fancied security, for up to that time the pirates had either not oh d the boats,or thought they would not have the temerity to attack them. In this, however, they soon discovered their mis take, for the h o sts, which at first had made for a narrow neck of land, bore op for and rounded the point, and then from the deck of the steamer was witnessed as bold an attack as was ever made in these waters. The pirate fleet formed a dense mese, the larger and heavier armed junks bringing up the rear, every now so d then yawing round and firing their broadsides at the boats, from whieb, in reply, tiny puffs of smoke wow, as the howitzers in their bow, ' discharged their more deadly contents, the shrapnel burst ing over the looks, and making frightful havoc among their crews. The boats soon neared the pirates. Lieute wince Feints and Rolando, with the launches of the Powhatso, first, by volleys of musketry, sharing the decks of the two largest, and then boarding and driving the pirates overboard at the point of the bayonet. This, however, was not done without a bard struggle, for the miscreants fought with the fury of despair; but they had, of course, so chance against the marines and blue jackets. Meanwhile the other boats were far from being idie, and though small in comparison with the launches, performed their share of the work with the utmost gallantry, officers and men Tieing with each other for the point of danger and of honour, BO that five or six more jerks were 600 U secured. Mr. James, the boatswain of the Rattler, particularly distinguished himself, having, with five seamen and a few marines, in a whale host dignified with the title of se- coed gutter, boarded and carried a junk that seemed fully a match for either of the launches. Lies- temant Pogrom, in the first launch, was hastening to their assistance, but seeing the battle nearly woe, would not interfere with their well-earned laurels, and turned hie attention elsewhere. The pirates' chief junk, after being shelled by the first launch, was boarded almost simul taneously by her crew and that of the Rattler's gig, and Captain Fellow's was fortunate enough to secure the shiers flag. The chief himself—Lee Alye, a principal lender of the Whampoa " patriots " was shot by en English marine, who had jumped on deck from the Powhatan's launch, and four women threw themselves overboard and were drowned. The ammunition on board the pirate fleet may he judged of from the fact, that this look aloes is believed to have bad nearly 100 kegs of English gunpowder, besides sunk-pots, cartridges, and loose powder. Up to this time rnly one serious casualty had hap pened to the attacking force, • youag American marine Mt 54 Adenoma having been shot with a musket-ball in the groin ; but two other fatal accidents followed in quick succoution. The Battler's first cotter, in charge of Foy master Browedson, can alongside of • large junk. Seve ral attack pots thrown at them missed; but at last one, ho - e from the raised poop of the pirate by a woman with a child slung to her bark, fell into the boat, and beieg followed by others, the crew were compelled to jam, overboard, where two were speared, and a third was wounded and dr tweed. Oue of these, a marine, who had been wounded by a spear thrust, called to his comrades to save him, and the ether, being an excellent swimtwr, got hold of him for that purpose. The Chinese then threw a mat over them, and the marine, still holding on by his wounded friend, dived below, and woe up clew of the mat; but as soon as he was observed, several stinkpots were pitched at hint, one of which strnek him on the head, and though not moth hurt, he was stunned far • 'record or two, and lost sight of the man he had displayed such a determine. tine to save: the brave fellow', name is William Robinson. The other fate! accident was the blowing up of a junk which for • time had offered a most determined resistance to the gig, in which were Captain Fellow's and Assistant Surgeon Wilson, with five men, but which was ultimately taken potettsaiin of by Lieutenant Rolando and his launch. Ei her a train had been laid before the crew left, or some determined scoundrel fired the junk, for she blew up with • tremendous explosion, and both officers and men were hurled into the water. Three of the men were killed, and 'overall others frightfully searched, one of whom died the *acne night, while another is not expected to live; but the officers miraculously named. Lieutenant Rolando was burnt and Captain Fellowes injured by the falling spars. The survivon were ' however, all picked up by Mr. Craig, master's mate of the Poarhatan, who had luckily gone into the boat the moment before the explosion took place. In this junk was an immense quantity of treasure, said to arsonist to 200,000 dolt; and the desperation with which her crew fought may be judged of from the fact, that even after the Americans had gained the deck they were swoon tered hand to band. One man made himself particularly conspicuous, and, notwithstanding several wounds, continued to throw stinkpot.; but ultimately be ran below, and is believed to have fired the train which blew up the vessel. The time thus occupied in securing the larger junks ena bled 18 smaller ones to get so far ahead as to render pursuit hopeless; while, but for the untortuna - e absence of the pinnace and cutter, as above mentioned, the whole would probably have been captured. Themes in these boats tugged man'ulty at the oars, and pulled a distance of 15 miles in three hours ; but, notwithstanding their tomost endeavours, arrived too late t 3 take part in the fight, though they waisted in destroying the captured junk', while the other boats returned with their wounded men to the Eaglet. There Dr. Pritchard, with Mr Put, the gunner, were pre pared to receive them, and everything was done by the three surgeons (Pritchard, Bchriver, and Wilson) that humanity could devise or medical skill perform. The junks were destroyed, five of which more than ordi narily deserve notice. They were built of the most sub stantial materials, evidently for war purposes, as they differed in many respects from the common trading junks. They carried very large glass-32, 24, and 12 pounders. A 68-pAtader was found in one of them ; another had no leas than 21 gun. mounted, the weight of one of which, carrying only an 18. pound shot. was estimated at not lees than 60 ewe. Two torches and seven junks that had been detained by the pirates were released ; two of which, however, bad to be burnt, to prevent their falling again into the bends of the piratical jock' that escaped, time and an adverse wind and tide not allowing them to be brought away. The officers employed estimate the number of guns taken at 200 large and small, and the pirates at 1,000, 600 of whom were killed. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER ON THE SEBASTOPOL EXPEDITION. At the meeting of the Radnorshire Agricultural Society, held at Knighton on Monday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. Sir 0. C. Lurie, Bar., who peed ded, in proposing the tout cf the Allied Fleets Gad Armies, said—" It is now just about a year Maga the expedition upon which the eyes of all 'England and of all Europe were riveted—the en ' pedition to Sebastopol—sailed. That expedition was perhaps framed with rather sanguine views of the possibility of success, considering the numbers by which it was wide/taken. Nevertheless, it would have been possible for It to have succeeded very shortly after the lanJing of the allied armies. Such success wee within the range, I will not say of possibility, but of probability. The sanguine hopes of those who contrived and ordered the ex pedition were not, however, fulfilled. We saw the painful spectacle of our gallent army during lest glister exposed to such trials, to such hardship', and to such privations as scarcely any civilised army was ever befare: expend to. (Hear, hear.) We were told that those hard ships and privations were is • great measure owing to the neglect or the west of skill in thoee who guided and those who Reversed and pro vided for the wants of that expedition. lam not now going to enter into that much debated, much discussed, and much controverted question. I will only shortly expresito yen my opinion --an opinion not founded on superficial grounds —that • large portion of the sofferiegs of our army was owing rather to the inherent difficulties of the expedition itself, rather to the manner in which it was undertaken, rather to the failure of immediate coccus, than to eel want of ability or of skill in the persons who lame -timely super intended it. I don't mean to excul2ate all the persons who wore =corned in the government of that expedition:act would have been wonderful, after so many years of peace, if they suddenly found themselves fitted for the greatest of I military enterprises. I don't mean to say that they attained that state of ediniuistrative perfection which much longer experience would scarcely have enabled them to reach. I will only say I feel that those perms who have bestowed so much harsh criticism on the conductors of that expedition did not make sufficient allow ances for the difficulties which were inherent in the enterpriee Rolf. After a time, the treaty into which this country and France had entered with Au , tria rendered it incumbent upon us to commence neeotia. tions at Vienn t, with a view to see whether, durie.g the 1 pendency of the war, while the siege was still carried on before the walls of Sebastopol, some means could not be found which should put an end to hostilities. The course 1 which was taken by this country in the argot *nun at Vienna was pursued wi.h steadiness and consistency throughout. No change took place in the terms which were offaed by this country and France to Russia. Teets' terms were refused, and others were offered on the part of Russia. The result of this: conferences wasthut her Majesty's government looking at the circumstances of the contending powers—to the position of the armies at Sebastopol, and to the dutywhich they owed to their country—thought no go id would arise from their continuance, and they were there fore broken off. (Applause.) Since that time, the war with Russia has been prosecuted with all the vigour which this country,witb its great resources,could commend— it has been prosecuted with all thou more Extensive military re-ources which the great population and the great military organization of France puts at the -.especial of her govern ment—and the mutt we all know. (Applause.) The great latress—tho object of a yeti's contention between the great powers of Europc—bas fallen; and the fleet, tee arsenals, and the great military preparations of Russia, are in the hands of the allies. We me) now ask whether the terms which we, in combination with France, tffered to Easels were not fair and reasonable terms, and whether it would not have been for the interest of that haughty and aggressive power rather to have accepted those terms than to have waited the gust which his now been developed. (Applause.) I have seen with great regret, during the last week, the comments which have been made by various whits of our own country on the share which our gallant army has borne in the attack upon Sebastopol. NVe do not grudge the laurels which France has deservedly earned in the assault of that place. There has been no rivalry, no unseemly competition between the two armies —it has been co operation, and not jealousy or rivalry. (Cheers.) The most generous, the most noble feelings, bane been exhibited by the armies to each other—not only by the men but by the generals and offisen. But while we willingly recognise the glory and honour of France in the achievement.' which placed the tower of Malekhoff, the ke y to the fortress, in the hands of the French attacking party, we must not allow unfair disparagement to be thrown upon ear own army. The remarks to which I have alluded have *et come from the French critics. On the contrary, I reed with satisfaction in • newspaper the remarks of • French military critic, in which he said that the English troops had a the attack on the Great Rectos done all that troops could by possibility accomplish. Can enybody doubt that our may has from the beginning shown the greatest gall entry, the greatest hardihood and enterprise on all occasi us, whether offensive or defensive ? We must wait for ties 1110r0 detailed official account., hereafter to be sent by the generals, before we are in a position to refs any judgment of condemnation on our omit gallant troops. We must remember that the attack which they made effected a powerful diversion of the enemy, end to a certain extent assisted the French in maintaining that por tion of the works which they had gained, geed to at at the close of the day the Redan was ih the possession of the Allies. Nothing can more dishearten a gallant army at a distance from our shores than captious and censorious criti cisms, when they feel they have shed their best blood in the defence of their country. I trust that the best feelings of the country will be enlisted is their behalf, and that every. thing we can do in the way of admiration and sympathy will be willingly bestowed upon them." (Applause.) MANCHESTER LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL Boorry.—Tim first meeting of this I *as held on Tuesday evening, in its rooms, George•street. The president, Willi►m Fairboirn, E•q., having opened the prcceedings, the secretaries read over a long of scientific works, which had been preeentid ►y other learned societies, and announced that the new volume of mew irs of their society was ready for distrimatinn. It ie the 12th of the second series, and contains some valuable papers, all of which have of course been previously real be r fore the society, one of the most interesting being en account of the early mathematical and philoeophicai writings of Dr . Dalton, by J. I. Wilkinson. As has been customary, the president invited Information from members, or soy strangers present, on any new facts in literature or seMnee when some interesting information was given as to the supposed causes of the deterioration of guns, mortars, and similar heavy weapons of warfare ea compared with those made sixty years einem. A variety of opinions were ex• pressed, the chief ono being, that if the government would pay a &efficient price for sac► articles and appoint proper men to superintend their production, as good weapons might be now made se ever were.

There have been various reports respecting the cruel treatment of the wounded British soldiers by the Russians. The following interesting history, received in a letter from the Crimea, will show that this cruelty is not always employed : Camas, SZE"! 18. Lieutenant Massy, who only joined the head quarters of the regiment lately, a chubby-faced youth of sixteen years of age, led the Grenadiers of the 19th Regiment into action at the assault upon the Redan on the Bth instant. They came up to the support of the attacking columns. Nothing could exceed the bravery of this young fellow. He went on in front of his men, got across the ditch, and climbed to the parapet on the opposite side. Here his progress was impeded by the men of different regiments, who were crowded together, vainly sndeavouriog to effect an entrance into the work. The men fell thickly around him, but he escaped. He was one of the very last who retired. On his return, as he was mounting the miesterecarp, and just at the edge of the natural Ibleb of the hill, some soldier caught hold of his ler to midst himself in mounting up. At that moment a rifle ball struck young Massy in the left thigh. Tho bone was broken near the hip joint, and he was unable to extricate himself from his dangerous position. He crawled on a few yards, and there remained. Now came a fearful trial. The Russians were showing themselves thickly on the parapets of the Redan, firing at our men who were retiring, and, in turn, our troops were firing up at the Redan from the first parallel of the works of the right attack. The shot flew like bail around him. Then came the round shot and shell directed against the enemy in the Redan, but many of which struck short and cut up the ground where the wounded were lying between the absttis and the ditch. Every shot which struck the parapet of the Itedan bt of back a shower of dust and stones over the nearest wounded. Some of our men, lying thus dreadfully exposed, even asked the Russians to take them into the work, by appealing to them, " Johnny, Johnny." In several instances the Russians slipped out, in spite of the fire, and carried some of the wounded in, and placed them under shelter. Young Massy, however, kept himself quiet, and continued near to the spot where he bad fallen. He felt se if his life must be lost, and yet at the same time hope was kept up by an opposite feeling that be might be spared to escape. At last, when the fire had in a great degree subsided, and the afternoon was advancing, a Russian soldier in hischaracterirticlonggreycoatcametohim. He opened his coatee to find if he had any valuables there, then sought for a watch or other things, but handled him so gently that Massy felt no fear respecting the man taking his life. At last. he left him, taking his sword and havresack. This was the only Russian who came to him; others were around collecting the Min:6 rifles and anything else they thought worth taking away. Massy saw no barbarity or ill•treatment now ; previously', while the fighting was going on, many of the wounded were bayoneted by the enemy. Some time elapsed, the firing had ceased all around, evening was advancing, when suddenly without any warning the ground shock and there was a terrific noise from an explosion. It was one of the magazines in the Redan which the Russians had fired. Down came a shower of dust and gravel, and, as ill-fortune would have it, there fell also a large stone and struck pour Massy on the right thigh, the one which was not previously wounded. It inflicted a very severe bruise. Soon afterwards he perceived in the dusk some twelve or fifteen men coming cautiously up towards the Redan. They were not very tar distant when he first perceived them, but what amazed him was, that they were not fired at. He could not divine why this was, or what the Russians were about : and at last suspected that the men must be Russians them selves who were not observed from our trenches. They went into the Redan, and he lost sight of them, but atter a short time they came back again, and he discovered them to belong to one of our Highland regiments. The French had communicated the fact that the Russians had deserted the Redan, and this party had gone to reconnoitre. Fortunately they did not remain longer, for shortly after their return another magazine of the Redan was blown up. Had they been within the work, the probability is that the greater part of them would have been destroyed. Massy, as he lay at the edge of the ditch, was again covered by the dirt and loose fragments which were thrown up into the air, but this time received no hurt. Subsequently he attracted the attention of one of the Highlanders, and after a short time was carried in a loose great-coat to the trenches. There his wound was examined by an assistant-surgeon, and he was sent up on a stretcher to camp. He is going on favourably, but his wound is of a very dan gerous character. A SURGEON S DIARY AT SEBASTOPOL. The following is from a diary kept by a surgeon of the 65th Regiment: Friday, Sept. 7.—On coming home from a stroll to the Limekilne. whither I had gone to Dave another look at the often-looked.at city, I found that a cleat out Ind been made of the hospital ; the sick had been sent to Balaklava, and an order had come that elicits area men were to prepare two days' rations, to breakfast at 6, and parade at 8; so I made ready my havrzssck by replenishing it with lint, bandages, ; had some beet boiled, bread got, fives filled, and turned in. Bombardment, confined chit fiy to the left, going on all day. ° Saturday, Soot. B.—C awake mo about daylight; tremendously cold morning; had • cup of tea; went round hospital, sad then marched off with regiment to par ide-ground, • here we waited a long time, having started too soon. At parade, General Codrington gave a short address, informing us that we were to act as supports to the storming party—an important duty, which would, he doubted not, be well performed—that we ware to occupy the fourth parallel, moving gradually into the filth, then to enter the Rodeo, and insure the possession of it to the *torture. So off we marched dowa the middle ravine. My staff consisted of Carmodie and two bandsmen, as orderlies, carrying my hurt sack, rum•barrel, &c. I marched beside Burke, our adjutant, at the head of the Grenadier company. As we went along I gathered that the French were to attack the Malakhoff at 12 o'clock, and that their standard, planted on the tower and the English flag on the Mameloo were to be our signal of attack upon the Redan. On we went through the ravine to the oft trod trenches, keeping up a smart fire, to which the Russians replied but seldom. On the left the bombardment was kept up heavily. We jogged along till we got to the fourth parallel, then gradu ally moved down the approach of the fifth; now sitting on the breastwork, speaking over thr comirg event of the day, then moving on a little. Being with the Grenadier or flank company, I was nest to the light company of the 30th, and went along talking with its officers—among others Colonel Petrillo, who not long after was brought to me mortally wounded, sad Sutlers, who wu also severely monocled. Gradually we reached the end of the approach, where it joins the fifth parallel. and at that corner most of us of the 65th and 30th were talking together with 0 1 Warms, all keeping a alie) look.out at the Malskhoff as far as pos. it Me amid the rifle-ballets that were filing about from the Baden. We were now on the tiptoe of expectation, for our guns had commenced such a fire as I volleys of eight and ten at a time, which, being fired from behind, passed but a few feet seer our heads, tearing up the earthworks of the Redan in grand style; the Pruett. ton, opened a tremendous fire from the Memelon. At 12 o'clock exactly ' There go the French!' was heard ; in a moment we were all up on the breastwork, thinking sodas, of the round shot and grape that came bounding and a/his sing about us, throwing up earth and stones, smashing gabions and knocking down men. It was usplendid sight to see the French rushing up the steep side of the MaDikhoff ; we saw it but a few minutes, as all was moo obscured in smoke; but high above we could distinguish the French standard waving over the Malekhoff Tower; and it was pleasanter still to see the Russians rush inghelter•skelter out from the works down to the Ryden. It ass sharp work, for at 20 minutes put 12 our signal was al)- 11 white fleg—oa the Mamelon. Colonel Cuddy saw it Int, sad rushed off to the bud of his men ; so we all shook hands and moved down the trench es fast as we could, for oar attacking party had posed out of the sap, and we saw them rushing on the Roden. Many a fins fellow wu cut short in his aunt actor the epee by the grape. shot, which came in fearful voll,'vs. I kept up with my regiment as well ail could, for the s'emadmil hilin around me kept me back. I hotrod them up, Nut thee seeds a ran after the sireseit till arrested by *there, mid ,o es till I (Stamped ld. Additional.) WOPENC E. got to the end of the sap which led to the open. To go fur ther was neelme, already there was such a crowd of wounded around, so I took tip my position there—no enviable one, for grape end shot came bounding among us, woonding those beside me. Two Riflemen fell dead Amnia on the top of me. I had plenty to do, end time passed without my knowing how it flaw—l was so busy. Cure, our MOM was one of the first officers who came to me, a grapeshot breaking his arm; then Richards, one of oar captains, struck on the ankle by grape. Ho weoted to go b.ck, but I would not let him: our could he, if I had, for he fainted when I had him laid on the breutwork. Officers and men came crowding on, mowed down by the grape from the flanking fire which rushed over and among us, throw ing up dust and stones, which dealt us no gentle rapt I was struck twice, once on the back, by, I think, a grapeshot, but I had no time to look, end ones on the foot by a rifle ball, both 'smarten;' but that was all. I was too busy to observe anything that was going on, so, except the first rash, Isere nothing, I may say, of the attack. While I was bard at work among the wounded the soldiers around cried oat, Doctor, you must get out of the way—they are retreating,' su I looked up and saw our men rushing better shelter into and ever the open to the trenches in the rear of us. I did not exactly know what to do, so I drew my sword (which, by the way, got very bloody that day, but not with Rursian blood), and went MI with my dwessina tills.LlM,4-11seiabed alj Alma sms. and then thought of moving of I could not leave poor Richards, es we all expected the Rennin, to be in among us every minute, so there wes nothing for it but to put him on my back and carry him, which I did till I got a stretcher by some means or other, and raised some men of the reserve to carry biro home. Then I went down to the trenches 11/111 . 1, dressing any wounded I found on the way. While doing so, Sanders called out to me from the trenches, into which he bad staggered, with the knee-joint of one leg *meshed, and a bullet through the other. He bon it all splendidly. I dressed his wounds, got a seeing ladder end sent him' home ' too. The Russians did not come out, and when I left the city began to blase. " Sept. 9.—Up at daylight, and down with the regiment. I went out with the Adjutant to look for Colonel Cuddy's body, which was found with the arm upraired, as if waving his sword to go into the Reda°. Had a lock round there. Stationed in 21 gun battery all day. " Sept. 10.—Set to work in I•es;ital at eight o'clock ; got done about five ; had dinner • w, nt round and Pow a few wounded o ffi cers I knew, tailback to hespital again. My back is by this time pretty sore with stooping. I have just been warned to go with the regiment on a bath ing sod washing expedition to the Tchernays, for fear of accident. Start at seven o'clock.

ANOTHER ASCENT OF MONT BLANC. The following is a narrative of the ascent of Mont Blanc by Meson. Booth and Austin of Dublin : " Chamounix, Sept. 26, 18,5.—1 sensed le Charrinunig en the 20th Instant, with the intention of escrowing Mont Blanc, if the advanced time of the year did oat render it impracticable, and I woo glad to find that a mire favourable time could not be chew), because the frost just b- ginning to set in made the snow feet, and so diminished the danger from the falling of avalanche'. On the 'oboe mg day we made an ezcorsion to the Mer de Glace and the Jardin, which was quite sufficient to test our powers of endurance and Capability of bearing lat.gue. The Jardin is the highest point where verdure is found in the Alpo, and toe attempt to reach it is not without both difficulty and danger—an enema don there requires an entire day. Our rept dition to Mont Blanc being now determined on, we took Saturday to red, with the exception of a abort walk to the source of the Artie, to keep ourselves in order, and making the necessary preparations. I enjoy , d the Sunday here very much, the scenery end the purpose to which the (Jay is demoted har monising beautifully together. It was pleasing to have es opportunity of joining in our heauilful English cornice. No other form would have been in such perfect keeping with both time and place. While the e)e rested on ire highest Alpine summit it tended in no small orient to heighten the simple grandeur of that noble hymn of St. Clio soden*, , t Ws praise thee 0 God ; we acknowledge Thee to be tb• Lord; all the earth doth worship thee the father everlast ing." The day wee one of the most heavenly that ever eorth was blessed with, and I *shall ever e,tei no it a privilege for which-to be thankful, elm of which I may be justly proud, to he permitted to spend u 'list day of the week in the enjoyment of the noblest grandeur which one great division of our earth ei etains. All arrangements having been very satisfactorily cont pitted, I set out from Chameunix for Mont Plane, ao eomparded by Mr. George Austin, jun , St. Audrew•street, end Mr. James Kidd, of Albany, New York, a smart, is telligent lad, only 16 years of •ge, lied the youngest perdue who ever made the ascent. We were ettendeo by twelves guides, and thirteen Teeters carrying erovisicne, &e., makieg in all a nice little caravan or 28 p. re , na. We started at 8 o'clock, and after a centinuous ci , mh through woods, across glaciers (many of the messed in which had to be crossed on ladders), and ete.p snow declivities, moo ' reached the Grands Mutes at 2 o'clock, by uo means so much fatigued as I had feared. lien. there is a but erected by the guides; sod without such a ploee in which to halt the ascent would be nearly imersoticable. We made ourselves as comfortable as circumstances would per mit, and of course carved our names in the wood of the highest habitation in the worid, as a per petual memorial of our having been there. Having folly equipped ourselves a in Mont Blanc, we started at natt-past 12 in the morning from this habitation in the clouds, eleven thousand feet above the level of the de, on the most critical part of our enterprise. We were tied together ia three companies, about ten feet apart • very necessary precaution, as we had to pass some tearful ere• sses, tenet ourselves on snow bridges of very dcubtful strength, and climb icy declivities as steep as the side of a sugar loaf. From the time we lett the. Grands Mulct., cur feet stood on nothing but snow end ice. It was a beautifully clear moonlight night, but as we were ascendir g the side of the mountain on which the rays of the us 0,, did not fall, we had to proceed by letup-light, which made it picturesque in the extreme. As we epproae.ed the Op we encountered one of the keenest and most icy winter blasts I ever experienced—it was f ear f u lly withering end cutting. At length, et half past ten o'clock, we reached at the same time the summit of Mont Blare and of our desires. The mountain was unclouded, and the prospect was riasignifieeetly grand. We remained half an hour, the extreme cold prevented our resting longer, although the Sift was shining brilliantly. At 11 o'cloek we roam-need our descent, and we surely came down much more s spedittorly than we went sp. Between walking, running, leaping, sliding, falling end tumbling into erevades, it wise highly exhilarating, and at ten minutes past three in itxd spirits we arrived et the Grande Mule's. Our espedifi , iii created a great excitement in Caemonoiz, and formed the chief topic of conversation, and our ouree was traced all through by telescopes. Our having arrived at the Greeds Misled, on the ascent, was announced in the town by the firing of • cannon. As the time approached when our return was mitigated, great interest prevailed to see the advetturere. The visitors at the hotels, and the inhabitants of the place, crowded to the streets. When me made cur apparent* we were received with hearty congratulations, sad a grand salute of forty-one guns and music. I am highly delighted wish the expedition end its most successful termination. I shall not conclude without recording the extreme civility of the guides , and the anxiety they evinced to fully complete our wishes. They spared no trouble or physical exertion to help us through. The intelligence mid very uoliging ratter of the Cbausounix guides contribute very much lathe pleasure the traveller eel eriencea in visiting the .ems rs objects of intend is its 'rJoszeir Bang. In Le Nord, of Brussels, we find the following letter from Odessa : ODESSA, SEPT. 17. We are still without detailed news from Sebastopol, but I ought to mention to you the impression produced in our districts by the news of the evacuat.on of the southern part of the city. I cannot conceal from you tb,t in the first m iment the off ct of this news was immense. The pro fouudeat dejection was stamped on every face, and betruyed real grief. By degrees we have recovered from this momen tary depression; and the more we h►ve been able to ersmiais matters with calmness, the more have tranquillity and hope returned. In our case it is the heart that has been strack first; as MD as reason has resumed her empire we have been able to reflect that the situation is not so changed ; that it is not entirely to our dissivantage, and that the honour of our arms has been in no way compromised. We withdrew of our own accord to the north aide, from whence we con tinue to defend the ruins of Sebastopol ; men, arms, beg gige, ammunition—all were conveyed across in the greatest order, with the greatest dignity. General Osten-Sacken was the last to pass the bridge. It is with a feverish impa tience that we look for further details of this sanguinary d ty, and of au event that doubtless is about to produce a great chance in the conduct of the war. If we regret the prettykoussa and the magnificent bastions of Sebastopol, bedewed with so much noble blood, we are, OR the other hand, relieved to • certain extent from the immense weight that has hitherto oppressed our breasts. Our brave soldiers will hence be no looker obliged to offer themselves up as a holocaust, end patiently await, with use less heroism, the death that sought them out, often even beneath the mantlets, and always when least expected. It was a wholesale slaughter, a butchery, which military honour commanded them to withstand, and which has enhanced the remarkable qualities of our soldiers, but the cessation of which may be considered as a benefit. Our men will now be able to defend themselves in close fight, sad to sell their lives at a high cost. Out of the 10,000 seamen who had undertaken, with their officers, the heroic defence of Sebrstopol, no more than a fourth part survive, and some six or seven cfficets. In order that every one of us may be able to salute in the streets the survivors, some distinctive mark should be accorded to them.; it is not until the hand of his. tory shall have engraved the acts and deeds of those 10.000 heroes that wo shall be ahle to appreciate their sufferiags and deeds. For the present we are only ae (minted with, and we ought only to occupy ourselves with, one thing, the debt of that blood, the voice of which cries aloud for vengeance, and which renders the Crimea ten times more dear to us, ten times more worth defending. We all of us here, and throughout Russia, understand that the war, the real war, is but ab , ut to commence. We expect to see it continue for I years, and are prepared for it. _ . • These sentiment', of which I am but the interpreter, are those which prevail in our towns along the coast, and con. srgtiently the most exposed to the vengeance of our enemies. These towns ere chit fiy inhabited by merchants, men not usually warlike, and whose interests suffer most by war. But here, thank Heaven, the shopmen has not loot his slaw hood, sad we prise our honour more than our purees. THE WAR IN ASIA. The Journal de St. Peterabourg, of Sept. 25, con tains the following news from Asiatic Turkey : (Extract from the periodical reports of A. D. C. General Mourtvieff, extending from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, awl dated from the camp near the village of Tchiotli-Tcher.) With the view of rendering the blockade of Kars more stringent, our troop have established themselves around this fortress, along the principal routes by which it com municates with the surrounding country. The line of the camps of thew detachments, divided by the river Karp Total, panes through the villages of Tchiotli-Tchsi, where the bulk of our force is stationed, Kany-Keui (Major- General Count Nyrod), Hariji-Valt (Colonel Edigoroff), Malik Kane (Major-General Baklanoff), and Bosgali (Colonel Prince Dondouk;ff Konskeff). In order to con nect the lest two detachments, that of Colonel Von I.lcgern- Sternberg is posted towards the lake of Aigher. °het, and supported by Major• General Basine's column, stationed in the village of Ornaraga. Almost every day these detachments havo petty skir mishes with the enemy, who steals oat of the place to forage. Each of his encounters with us has cost him dear; our brave Cossacks, militia, and dragoons, emulous of each other, not merely oearthro re their adversaries at every point, but advance even within range of the artillery, carry off nearly on his glacis the cattle of the garrison, and often alarm the Turkish troops. The most remarkable of these affairs was the attack, made on the 30th of August, by Major-0 1 Beklanoff, against a large party of Turkish foragers, who had made a sortie from Kars, near Karadagh, supported by several columns of regular cavalry. The unexpected attack of Major- General Baklanoff, and the iimpetnosity: with which it was made, compelled the Turks to take to fight, dispersing over the plain their beasts of burden laden with forage. In pursuing the enemy, our Cossacks and militia, who had with them one gun and a rocket detachment, drove in the regular Turkish cavalry, which in its flight threw into disorder its own reserves. At this moment the pursuit became general, and the MUM of regular cavalry and of huhi-basoisks hurried within the gates of Kars. The Turks then opened firs against our troop. from their heavy guns on the heights of Karadagh, but wi'hout doing us any in jury. Our loss consisted of oce militia officer wounded by a ball, and three horses killed. We took prisoners eight mu of the Nisam and the same number of buhi basouks ; the number of the enemy's killed and wounded isnot koown, but it u.ust have been considerable. This affair took plaits at the same spot at which Colonel Kontkoiros Ike 14th Oho lid, with the regiment No. ~~ i I '~ I~ ,{ :~ `~, i+ 110 )4 1 / 1 is roll "I.
