The small image of this god was - worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases brought before him.

Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens 'which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under its tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and literal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the kingdom. Many temples were erected and dedicated to Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column of Measurement—the Nilometer l N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally com posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests with the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. "It is said that the Chaldeans, trans porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that it he remained the conqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and d ev is e d this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of an extremely porous earth, through which the water filtrates and is purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with water, and made it his god. He covered it with the headof an ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelais. The Chaldeans presented themselves; the contest begin; they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts the water rues through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus ova. tea Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has bon re presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and tae belly and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this firm that he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin Histoire de rEglisa, livre second. No. 4.

THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC. and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of tho North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. _ , Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar _phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con- •:::. - .:: .i :, '•,•;* ' : .., ~, • . • lAg/Ziez :. - • . - , AL.,: :•' ' • • , . . • ,- • / . , - - . .// ,iii% - •e- ..., _.., .. _.„ . ... ~ . . • i . _. ~. . • ..,--, . -- .. ~ ,i..,,k--..‘tt ..,.,- t ,..... ,-..,- - , .:•-: \--,..- 77 / 2.7, ,,' '.., ; ., 1 . •••• ... -, 2..„ A -,;.„ sou 41 1 # ... . ~, ,- O. ,- Aj • C 1• . ,i V _. 3 f4 ~•., , AT k %e ~ 1,1 6. t -s, t. / •', ' , '.4 " 1 / 4 k,-_, ' . ik, ' -'- .

Osman Pasha, will all the remaining troops, moved on Sunday, the 21st inst., down to Ka miesch, and all of them will probably leave before the end of the week. There are, only about 2,000 infantry, a battery of artillery, and 3,000 cavalry remaining for embarkation, which, as a number of vessels are expected back from Suchum-Kaleh, will not require much time. The place which the Turks occupied will be now taken partly by Eng lish and partly by French troops: As long as the French hold their position on the heights of Baidar, the gorge of Vanutka and the lower road leading to it from Katnara are of minor importance, and can be guarded by a comparatively small force. The Ist Royals and the 71st, from Kertch, aro destined for the purpose. The latter has not yet arrived, but the former has already in part taken up its position, and large fatigue parties aro busy in carrying up the huts from the depot near the Highland camp at Kamara. The position at the ford of Alsu will be occupied i now by French. As it seems tho intention to guard the heights above Baidar, this position will be connected by Alsu with the rest of our line on the Tchernaya. Yesterday the first reinforcements for the Sar dinian army arrived at Balaklava. Each battalion is to receive 100 men, which will raise the Sar dinian Contingent to more than its original strength. As more than 3,00 0 men are being sent out, the Sardinian army will be stronger than before. - THE ALLIES IN THE CRIMEA. (Front the Times Correspondent.) FOURTH DIVISION CAMP, OCT. 2, 7 . The inhabitants of the little village of Karani, situate about midway between Balaklava, and the Monastery of St. George who had remained tran quil in their habitations -A during the whole of the siege of Sebastopol, receiving for a part, if not for the whole of the time, rations from the allies to save them from starvation, expressed a wish since the fall of the place to be transferred to a point of the Crimea occupied by the Russians. Communi cations were made to the enemy and arrangements made to that effect, and on Saturday last they were embarked for Kaffa. Prince Victor of Hohenlobe was in command of the vessel that took them, and was accompanied by Major Ross and by some other officers, who went as amateurs. Hango not being yet forgotten, due precautions were, of course, taken, and strict formality observed. Off Kaffa a Russian officer came on board to arrange about landing the emigrants. He remained to luncheon, and, on its being intimated by some of the Eng lish that they did not expect to be allowed to land, he thought it possible they might, and, finally, land they did. No sooner had they got on shore than they were surrounded by a crowd, including a number of Cossacks, who came down full speed. Each one of them was forthwith elevated upon a high Cossack saddle—rather an awkward seat for equestrians unaccustomed to such machines—and away they went at a scamper. Everything was done Cossack fashion—full gallop. They were taken to the country-house of Prince Gagarin, about two miles from shore, and were there courteously re ceived by the Prince himself, a man of some 60 years of age, minus a log, which he lost when cam paigning in the Caucasus, and who went about on crutches. The Prince spoke French, and told them he understood English. Chairs and a table were brought out of the country-house (over which the visitors were shown), and wine and fruit were placed before them, whereof they partook. The conver sation was well sustained, and, judging from the account of it given me by an officer present, almost cordial. Subjects connected with the war were not altogether excluded, and incidents of the siege were related. In the course of the conversation the Russian officer who had gone on board said some thing to Prince Gagarin, in which the English present distinguished the word "Kinbourn." The Prince replied by a passionate exclamation, unin telligible to his foreign guests, and presently asked them what was the latest news. " Nothing from England," was the reply, "but in t'..e Crimea the attack uponand capture of Kinbourn." The Prince appeared to feel the intelligence painfully, but merely shrugged his shoulders and remarked that it was "la fortune de la guerre." Ho informed them of rather a curious fact, which was that by the groat explosion of the French magazine in the Mamolon at the end of August persons in Sebasto pol were killed and wounded. When they returned on board he sent them a supply of wine and grapes, which they had expressed a wish to purchase before they knew that they would be allowed to laud, and requested some tea in return. „Tea, eheese, and other things khat it was thought night be accept able were sent to him, and thus terminated this friendly little episode of the war. The officers re turned to Balaklava on Tuesday, much pleased with their trip. I omitted to mention that they were permitted to see and converse with two of the men of the 10th Hussars made prisoners in the late skirmish at Kertch. All the officers with whom I converse on the sub ject deplore the necessity under which Government finds, or considers itself placed, of filling up the gaps in our army in the East with recruits of ten der age and no instruction, pecularly liable to be struck down by disease, and comparatively ineffi cient in front of tho enemy. Owing to the small ness of our army when the war began, and the heavy losses since suffered from sickness and the sword, some young and raw soldiers must in evitably be sent out, but it is thought that ought not be the case to such an extent as it at present is. It is asked why should not old soldiers be brought hither from the colonies, and replaced by recruits. We have seasoned and well-drilled troops all over the world—in Australia; Canada, the Mau ritius. In India I am assured that we have 30,000 British soldiers. Could not some of these be spared for next year's campaign against the Russ ? They There ar e the 78th would certainly go much further and be used u p much more slowly than recruits. Highlanders, for instance, somewhere in India—a regiment composed entirely of old sold iers, and doubtless eager to join that sturdy and i nvincible division which now seems to be conside red the re serve of the army, as the Tie - ,e Garde was that of Napoleon's, kept for those ()sessions when au army must strain every sinew to ward off defeat or in sure victory, and when it is of vital importance to have a picked body of men who will die ere they flinch in fight or recoil a pace. Quite certain is it that a Highland regiment would be found, in the moment of severest conflict, worth double its num bers of the boys now to be seen NVOI king at Mr. Doyne's roads, and who may, any day be called upon to close in deadly fight with robust and well-trained opponents. Far is it from m y inten tion to depreciate the pluck and spiri t of England's youth, but those qualities lose half their valuein war if they be not combined with maturity of frame, training in arms, and that confidence in himself and in his officers which t i m to the habit It is a well-known and proven fa ct that some of of drill and discipline alone can gve dhe soldi. the recruits lately sent out were ienorant, on their arrival here, how their musket or°Minie should be fired. They had been enlisted one day and em barked the next. And of these some were sent to take the Redan ! Among other preparations for winter the Com missariat officers of divisions are getting up large supplies of stores, a useful res erve against the time when, notwithstanding th e im p roved moans of communication now in progress, transport will be infinitely more lab orious and difficult than at present. Up to this date the weather is very fine, but the rains may be g in any day, and can hardly be long deferre d. The mornings are now very cold, and it is severe work turning out at 5 o'clock, as the army continues to do. There is sharp frost. The water you wash in at an early hour numbs your hands. This morning at 7 o'clock the heavy dew lay congealed into ice on the decks of the vessels in Balaklava harbour, and one could k.laock it off in cakes with his boot. As the sun m perature like that of SUM ascends you have a te Mer, even on the heig hts, while in Balaklava and its valley the heat is almost oppressive. The health of the army continues good.

CAMP OF THE A LLIED ARM IES ON THE TOIIERNAYA, OCT. 22. predicted the The augurs who pr Russian attack warned us of the days from the 15th to the 20th of this month. These are now passed, and some days bringing any Russians, more, without hensions of an attack are growing fainter every day. But, as if we could never keep out of extremes, the old story of the Russians retiring from the Crimea has been again revived. The found t . of it • a ion in .the report of deserters that several Russia n divi sions have gone northward, where, none of them could tell ; whether merely to watch E u p a t or i a or to guard Perekop or Nicolaieff. The 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth Divisions are mentioned as having gone. We know of the two latter being in the Crimea since the Battle of the Tchernaya, but we have not yet come across the two former, so there may be some confusion as to numbers. The preparation for our winter cantonment have at present absorbed all other ideas. All the final arrangements as to the disposition of the troops are ma de. The departure of the Turkish army leas left a gap in our position towards Mau and Vaunt- ----- The change in the weather had a very beneficial effect on the patients in the Picdmontese hospitals ; they are clearing out gradually. Tho French, who, like ourselves, have got a good number of recruits, or rather new . troops, are continually drilling and making promenades mill,- taires. On Saturday last General M‘Mahon, who is now General of a corps d'armee, inspected the Imperial Guard. It was one of the finest reviews imaginable. On Saturday last the Arabia took on board the remains of the English Light Cavalry Brigade des tined for Eupatoria. They were embarked from near the Ordnance-wharf, close to which the Arabia was lying. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 27. Now the excitement caused by the hope of offen sive operations and by the uncertainty in which every one was kept about his own movements has subsided, and all sanguine expectations of victories and rewards have sobered down, the allied camp begins more and more to assume the character of a cantonment. As visions of glory are laid aside for the year thoughts of comfort begin to arise in every mind. Scarcely a single hut has as yet been erected, beyond those which existed last winter, so that many oven of the old regiments have not more than half a dozen of them ; in the regiments which arrived in spring and in summer there are none at all. _ _ . Most of those who have stood since the begin ning of this year have to undergo a thorough re pair. The now ones which are sent out now seem not much better. I saw one the other day which had been quite recently erected ' • all the wood is cracked and full of crevices, and the knots falling out fast, leaving circular holes which produce a very pretty effect when the sun's rays pass through thew, but which do not promise much comfort for the winter. h l cloooo h vuarT a esrnhed v tose e dy n a ot seen the double-boarded ones erected, but all the others require sundry contrivances to make them air and water tight before they will afford much shelter. It is a pretty general opinion that a double tent well excavated would be much more comfortable. Besides road-making and hutting attention is turned to getting up provisions to the general storehouse erected behind the Second Division, as well as to the divisional storehouses, so that any interruption of the traffic from unforeseen circum stances may not have any prejudicial effect on the supplies of the army. Even the transport mules have a brighter prospect before them than the few which remain from last year could have antici pated. There are arrangements made in each di vision for stabling them. From all we can - see, the last directions about the positions which the allied armies are going . to keep during the winter have been given, and all the movements going on are rather to - regulate the details than with a view of making aaiy mtiterial changes. The position chosen is certainly such that very little fear can be entertained of any disturb ance from the Russians. Both armies will be op posite to each other on a series of heights , with only a few accessible points, and separated by a kind of neutral ground formed in part by the Tchernayo. valley, which as soon as the rains begin will be a most effectual barrier to an attack from either side, and on our right by the low range of hills which form the banks of the Upper Belbok before it enters the defile near Albaud. The apprehension of a Russian attack seems to have completely ceased for the time being, but the troops still turn out for parade before sunrise. As a great part, principally of the English army, has to go out every day for fati g ue parties, this is the only parade they ever ha ve , an d I suppose it is kept up more for ,this than f or an y o th e r reason. The English t roops w hi c h f orme d p a rt of the expedition to Kinb ourn are ex p ec t e d back on Mon day next.

The display was, like the battle last year, favoured by the most beautiful weather, of which we have now had a run of nearly a week. Num bers of English, not a few French, and some Sar dinian officers were present. After having wit nessed the reduced state in which the cavalry was last winter, when the horses had sunk to the rank of half-starved cab-horses, it was satisfactory to see the regiments finer than over. Notwithstand ing the numerous recruits and remounts, the 'evolutions were excellent. Although the whole Light Brigade is away in Eupatoria, the two remaining ones, the Hnssar and the Heavy Brigade, presented a most imposing array. Ouly one could not help regretting again that they had no occasion to do anything, but were shut up in the mountains and gorges of the south of the Crimea, whereas they could have done such ex cellent service in the steppes of the north. Bnt it is now to late to think of this ; in fact, sending the Light Brigade to Eupatoria looks rather like moularde apres diner. As, however, there remains nothing to do for them this year, measures ought to be speedily taken to keep them in condition for the next. Lieut.-Colonel Clarke, of the Scots Greys, was sent down some time ago to provide for stables and barracks in the neighbourhood of Constantinople, and Mr. Lee, C.E.,. is actually busy providing both. In the beginning there seems to have been an idea of sending down the horse artillery, as well as the cavalry, but this seems to be given up, as stables are being constructed for the former here. The place chosen for the main part of the stables is at Hayder Pasha, behind Scutari ; but several other places on the coast, as Ismid and others, have been inspected for the purpose. The palace of Hayder Pasha will be appropriated as a barrack for the men, and the harem as quarters for the officers. The order has already come out for the hors©s of ' absent officers to be sent down by the Himalaya, which will likewise take all the sick horses. She has brought in the Sardinia* draughts, and will now be appropriated for the transport of cavalry e horses.

He believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in ono peculiar art, and to perfect which ho has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers hich attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the "Tipiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, froin the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping aro expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be niade to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous corresponeents. lie regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating, from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted, from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 24, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph,. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frackly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought fib whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the 'ilution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, tct - aal hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who this clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate ,' rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —"This young man, who is a Scotehman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if ho would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very had health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as - a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is ono of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it; is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev, N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is notb(ng more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when ho and Lord Brougham had their sdanco with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about iu the most , extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac -1 cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to bo deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making, it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be hold in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at tho Lyceum, will bo received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of tho spiritual jugglers.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more mix cry in Youth, degradation in Man aced, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Ahoy class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are niaciples of personal management which cannot be violated without , ncurring gilevons penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed he heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely , any degree of physicat infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. rho Author haz for a series of years been engaged in an extensive sractice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have intortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant °metrics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions. . . . _ _ NERVOUS r DEBILITY xnay be had price 2s, of Messrs.

DESPATCH FROM GEN. SIMPSO (From a supplement to Tuwlay's Gazette.) WAR DEPARMENT, Nov. 7. Lord Panmure has this day received a (Wrath, and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.B. - - - Sebastopol, Oct. 23. My Lor3,—l have the honour to transmit the copy of a letter from lieutoCol. Ready, of the 4th October, and its enclosure, giving an amount of theTrocecdinga cf detachment of the force which was sent to Taman for the purpose of collecting firewood and building materials- The service was satisfactorily performed. Unfortu nately three soldiers of the 71st lost their lives, in conse quence of their having strayed beyond the limits pre scribsd to them. I transmit the nominal return of the non-commis sioned officers and men of the 10th Hussars who were taken prisoners on the 21st of September, in the aff.tir with the Cossacks, reported by me in my letter of the 29th September. I have reason to believe that the greater portion of the Turkish Contingent are now assembled at Kertch. No further intelligence has been received from Bin bourn. _ _ _ The health of the army continues very good. A few cases of cholera have occurred during the past week, but it is confined entirely to the new comers. I have, &c., (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. P.S.—Since I commenced writing this despatch, I have received the accompanying report from Brigadier- General the Hon. A. Spencer. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. Enclosure 1. J. S. Yenikale, October 4, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the joint French and English Expedition to Taman returned from thence yesterday, the 3d inst., and that three companies of the 71st Regiment, under the command of Major Hunter, which formed the British part of the force, have resumed their former quarters in Sertch. Enclosed is the report of Major Hunter of his pro- ceedings during his stay in Phanagoria. The arrange. meats he made for executing the duties entrusted to him, and providing against the desultory attacks to be ex pected from the enemy, gave me complete satisfaction. I regret, however, that I have, notwithstanding, to re port the loss of three men, who wero surprised by the Cossacks whilst straggling from their party, one of whom was killed and his body found, and the two others sup posed to have been captured. The French and English gun-boats, having been sud denly recalled, placed us under the necessity of abandon ing a large quantity of timber, procured from the public buildings in Phanagoria. We, however, collected and transported to Yenikale a very fair supply; the rest was burnt, and the enemy will find it difficult to provide shelter for any number of troops there during the winter. I have, &c., (Signed) C. READY, Lieut.-Col, 71,st Light Infantry. Lieut.-Gen. Sir It. Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General, &c. Enclosure 2. Kerteh, Oct. 4, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to report the return to Kertch of the French and English troops under my command, trona our joint expedition to Taman. It is with much pleasure that I recur to the assistance rendered by one to the other, but I have to regret the loss of three sol ' diers of- the French Marine, and three soldiers of the 71st Highland Light Infantry; each party having strayed beyond the limits prescribed to them, was surprised by the Cossacks. The bodies of the three French and the body of Corporal M‘Dougal alone were found murdered, each having received several wounds from ball and lance. The other two men of the 71st Regiment are still missing. Having proceeded in quest of the missing mon with both the French Chasseurs and the Hussars under my command, I was still unable to obtain any clue as to their fate. During our stay in Plianagoria the Coseacks fre quently made attacks on our lines by night, having wounded one naval officer, French, and one naval offi cer, English, also one private 71st Regiment, who was slightly wounded in the hand. One Cossack alone, who succeeded in approaching within 4 (four) yards of my advanced sentry, was killed ; but, owing to the dark ' nes of the night, it was impossible to discern any ob ject which was lower than our level. The assistance rendered by the naval officers who ac companied the expedition could not have been ex ceeded, particularly by Lieutenants Ainslie and Fitzroy ; and the despatch with which Mr. Williams invariably returned with the Minna, after landing her supply of wood at Yeni-Kaleh, was the admiration of all. The value of this boat on such au expedition is very great. The gun-boats being suddenly recajed for some other active service, a large quantity of valuable wood was burnt. Tile buildings at Taman and the large storehouses in Phanagoria are completely destroyed by fire and gun powder, and I cannot conceive the possibility of any body of troops receiving shelter in that neighbourhood. There being several squadrons of Cossacks constantly around us on the different heights, I did not consider it prudent to make any movement towards the hills, con sidering the destruction of the tint and town, also the collection of wocni, as being the objects of the expedi tion.—l have, &c., (Signed) R.
