LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1855. May we be permitted respectfully to suggest that his Royal Highness the PRINCE CONSORT WO labouring under some unaccountable misapprehen tion, on the 9th of June, when he intimated to his brethren of the Trinity House that, in the instance of the present War with Russia, a heavy trial is now being passed through by our Consti tutional Government ? The trial, we would ven ture to hint, is not by any means a test of the strength or weakness of our Constitutional Go vernment itself, but rather an ordeal for those who palter with it—a path of burning plough shares to be traversed by the leaders of our aristo cratic cliques, the champions of our patrician coteries, the chiefs of a dominant oligarchy. It has not been left for us to prove the soundness or the unsoundness of those grand root principles which form the very basis of our Constitutional Government. Century after century the Constitu tional Government of England has been tested, and has not been found wanting. It has grown with our growth—it has strengthened with our strength. It has survived the hurricanes of more than one revolution. Whatever a Prince of the house of Saxe-Coburg may think to the contrary, it is not now that the palladium of our national liberties, the an cyllm of our popular rights, the charter of our insular freedom, have to be weighed in the ba lance. Their ponderable worth has loug since, we take it, been calculated by preceding genera tions. It has not been left for us or for our children to decide whether or not the somewhat essential principle of vitality is anywhere discoverable in our Constitutional Government. The struggle now taking place on the shores of the Euxine is a heavy trial no doubt—but it is a trial of our administrators, not of the whole scheme of our political constitution. Already the system of popular government in the United Kingdom is fully comprehended and entirely appreciated. It does not admit of any fresh test, or trial, or ordeal, or scrutiny, or analysis, or criterion. All such have been long since exhausted. What the people of these islands are at present aspiring to bring about are certain administrative reforms—not any radical change, or fundamental modification in the elaborate fabric and complicated scheme of our vast Constitutional Government. It is idle, therefore, for any one to talk nowadays, midway in the nineteenth century, of a war like the one at present waged against Russia, being a "heavy trial " undergone by our Constitutional Govern ment. As well dream of some mighty oak of a thousand years' standing being imperilled by a night's frost, like the tenderest sprout just grafted, or the most delicate seedling just budding through the mould. There are but three tests for such as this Oak of England. It may wither out after the lapse of ages, crumbling into gradual decay out of the fullness of time, from having passed the limits of possible survival. Or it may be laid low by the axe of some new ALARIC, some " Scourge of Gen," some appointed Destroyer. Or it may be struck down, reverently so to speak, by the "stretched-out arm" of the ALMIGHTY, by the lightnings of HEAVEN, by the thunderbolts of His awful Providence. Not by any frivolous ordeal, such as that of a single campaign, or even l i of a sust a i ne d contest—the ordeal rather of an un constitutional Afinistry than of a Constitu tional Government. Again, therefore, we insist upon the extravagance of any one talking of the present War with Russia, be the speaker Prince or Peasant, as a " severe trial" which is being undergone by our Constitutional Government. It wa s no less unfortunate, we cannot but think, that his Royal Highness the Prince Con sort should, during the course of the same speech to which we have already here alluded , the speech delivered by him on Saturday se'ennight, the 9th of June, 1855, have given utterance to an extra ordinary sentence like the following—[His Royal Highness, it will be understood, while speakingthe words hereinafter subjoined, referred to the recent exposure by the Press of the late mismangement of our army before Sebastopol]—" Yo mistake," said the Prince "howe ver want trifling, can occur, no or tveakness exist, which I • S not at once denounced, and even, sometimes exaggerated with a kind of morbid satisfactio n ;' Language, we repeat, which we cannot but d • esignate as somewhat extraordi nary under exerting ' cucurmitan ces . In testimony of which let us examine this sentence for a moment piecemeal, it scarcely matters how cur sorily. "No mistake" it begins—rather a mild phrase by which to specify those wan ton blunders, those altogether monstrous and egregious short-comings which have already cost the country in round numbers, as Mr. BRIGHT took occasion to remind the House of Commons only the other evening, between 30,000 and 40,000 men, and between 30,000,0001. and 40,000,0001. sterling 1 "No mistake, however trifling"—Good GOD, is the loss of an entire army in a single winter trifling ? Is the destruc tion in one season of some 30,000 men trifling ? Is the squandering of revenue to the amount of 30,000,000/. sterling trifling ? Nevertheless, to proceed in the obvious analysis of this unlucky sentence. "No mistake, however trifling, can occur, no want or weakness exist, which is not at once denounced." Not so, we protest ; not so— the word is altogether rashly and inaptly selected. It is not the want which is denounced, it is not the weakness—it is rather the inefficiency of those shameless Ministers whose bungling caused that want, whose timidity and vacillation originated that weakness, that the press of England has been all this while so loudly and earnestly denouncing. Flowbeit, to give once more this unfortunate sentence in its entirety. "No mistake, however trifling, can occur, no want or weakness exist, which is not at once denounced, and even some times exaggerated with a kind of morbid satis faction !" As to the " exaggeration "we leave the settlement of that question to the result of the evidence taken from the lips of somewhat credible witnesses, in "number seventeen," before Mr. ROEBUCK'S memorable Committee of Inquiry into the State of the Army before Sebastopol. Corroborated as that ex cathedra evidence is by the ex officio testimony of men such as S. G. 0., or as the Times almoner, or as the Hon. Member for North Northamptonshire. While in reference to the unjust statement that these denunciations have been sometimes " exaggerated" —how ?—why, actually, it is said, " with a kind of morbid satis faction"—THAT we leave implicitly to the conscience of the country, to the sense of justice of thirty seven millions of our fellow-countrymen ! Sub mitting it simply to the nation at large, as we do so, whether a brand-upon-the-patriotism like this is precisely the meed which has been deserved by that free Press of England, which was the first to lay bare the deficiences of our noble army in the Crimea, the first to disclose betimes the exceeding peril of its position before Sebastopol. Whereby —from the open speaking of the Press in the sorest time of need the English soldier ever had to encounter—the remnant at least of our first heroic band of warriors was preserved so as to be the nucleus for the formation of a second arma ment. Enough. It is sufficient for us that we have here selected for analysis but a single phrase, but one solitary sentence from the remark able harangue delivered in the Trinity House, on the 9th inst., by the Prince Consort. That single phrase, and that solitary sentence, we content ourselves with particularising as we have here particularised them, to the end that we may thus earnestly regret the untoward circumstance of his Royal Highness having expressed sentiments so de rogatory to his high reputation for prudential fore thought—implying, as the language of the Prince does, but as we cannot induce ourselves to belies e his Royal Highness could possibly have intended it to do, a doubt as to the patriotism of our jour nalists, and as to the stability of our Constitu i tional Government. Another obstacle in the way of the Marriage Law Amendment Bill has been successfully en countered. The several amendments of which Sir FREDERIC THESIGER had given notice, with the view, nominally, of preventing the retro spective action of the bill, but really to impede its progress, and cause its virtual rejection, have been disposed of—after several divisions, with majorities varying from 24 to 47—in favour of Mr. HEYWOOD'S clauses. The day was, however, consumed in the conflict against bigotry and intolerance, and there has been a further post ponement until the 10th of July, when we sup pose, in accordance with the tactics hitherto dis played by the minority, the Fabian policy will again be resorted to, with a view of retarding that which oinnot be entirely prevented. It is, therefore, indispensable that every friend of civil and reli gious liberty—every person who considers that there should be no undue restriction on the most sacred and highly-prized privilege belonging to a free man, should exert himself to bring this un toward state of affairs to a speedy conclusion, and to sweep away the last, but perhaps the bitterest, remnant of religious intolerance, the foulest blot from the national statute-book. Nay, more, the Government, which professes great liberality, should itself take up the question, and take care that the forms of Parliament should not be resorted to in order to defeat the passing of an act of justice to a numerous body of religious and moral indi viduals. The voice of public opinion has been long heard in favour of the equitable demand. For a series of years in successive Parliaments the question has been decided over and over again in every possible form in which it could be put, and if the friends of civil and religious liberty were but one-half as earnest and energetic in their proceedings as the bigots who seek to bind the entire body of Dissen ters by a doubtful canon, which is not even ac knowledged by the members of the Established Church, the measure would long since have passed into a law. Unfortunately, however, there is a degree of apathy and indifference amongst many of those who feel correctly, but who will not make any extraordinary exertion to carry their views into practical operation, and thus it has been that the opponents of the bill have been en abled indirectly to extend its passing. This insouciance we desire to get rid of. We wish to stimulate those willing to do justice to so nume rous and influential a body of their countrymen into making the necessary exertion to see that there shall be no further procrastination. This can only be done by every man who asserts the right of private judgment, and who refuses to allow others to dictate to him on matters which are between him and his CREATOR alone, firmly resolving that he will not vote for any candidate, no matter how high his other qualifications, who will not solemnly pledge himself to the repeal of the existing restrictions on marriages with a de ceased wife's sister—that he will not support any Ministry who will not make it a Cabinet ques tion which they are determined to carry. The theological part of the question has been long since abandoned. None can venture to assert that such connexions are prohibited by the clause, which gives an implied sanction thereto, after the death of the first wife. But as the restriction cannot be justified from the text of " the Bible," it is endeavoured to be sustained on certain canons, which, as we have stated, are not recognised even by the great majority of the members of the Church of England th emse l ves. N ow, w h a t ever authority these canons may have so far as Church men are concerned, they cannot exercise the most remote influence on those who conscientiously protest against the Articles and Canons of that ROYAL OPERA, DRITRY.LANE.

NC4-, JUNE 21. 1*55, Church, and refuse to be bound by any religious law not contained in or based directly on the precepts of "the Book of Books." There might be some justification if an attempt were made to compel the members of the Church of England to contract or its ministers to solem nise such marriages ; but every religious scruple that they can put forward is respected. All that is asked is that those who feel no such scruples may be permitted to do that which they consider to be, if not laudable, at least perfectly harmless—to pro cure the most faithful and affectionate guardians for their motherless children—to unite to them selves by indissoluble ties the women whom they can love and esteem—with whom they can brave the most arduous struggles of "the battle of life," and pass through thisworldin thehumble and Christian hope of a glorious hereafter. This is the just, the moderate, the irresistible demand of the advocates for the repeal of the existing law—that each man should be permitted to act in accordance with ' the dictates of his own conscience in a matter where the national welfare is not concerned ; and this must be speedily conceded if there be any foundation for the claims of liberality put for ward by the Ministers and the members of both Houses of Parliament. It would have been a cruel mockery to have prevented the retrospective action of the law to have allowed all marriages contracted before a specified time, and all after a subsequent period, to be legal, while those solemnised during the in terval would remain null and void. It would be inflicting a severe punishment on innocent per sons for that which was now considered justifi able. There has been no instance of the execution of any person under a repealed enactment, even though he might have offended against it while in operation. Why, then, should the punishment be continued when the legal prohibition to act has ceased ? The question does net admit of argument, more particularly by those who, because the succession to a high and ancient title and princely estate was at stake, sanctioned all such marriages contracted before 1835 ! But why, we repeat, does not Government take up the question ? Lord PALMERSTON has spoken clearly and explicitly in favour of the abolition of the restrictions. We cannot doubt the opinions of the proposer of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL has, as usual, exerted himself nobly in the good cause. We believe that there is no difference of opinion in the entire Cabinet. Why, then, is it not made a Ministerial question ? Lord PALMERSTON may rest assured that no act would confer greater strength on his Government, or do more to consolidate his power. Let every independent voter then press on his representa tive to urge the importance of the topic on the Government, and to insist on its immediate set tlement. Ministers are already well inclined. They only require a little pressure from without to do that which is just and reasonable, and which would satisfy the justice of the case, and meet the wishes of the People. LATEST NEWS.

It could easily be distinguished that no guns of small calibre were among the number. Our casualties, as yet, have been very few, both among the men of the Naval Brigade and those of the Royal Artillery. The Russian shot have fallen wide of their mark. Precision of aim could not be looked for in face of such a storm. Captain Mortimer Adye, R. A., has been brought into camp severely scorched. He experienced a mi raculous escape. He was standing with a sergeant and bombardier when a shell exploded in front of them. The blaze singed the hair and skin of all three, the sergeant being most severely injured, but no one was struck by any portion of the fragments. Lord Raglan, who, at the opening of the fire, took up a position in front of the Third Division, afterwards passed round the camp, and called at the Right Siege Train to inquire respecting the casualties. The troops loudly cheered the Field- Marshal as he rode by. General Pelissier, with a large staff, also passed toward the Victoria Re doubt, and was greeted with loud cheers. 9 p.m.—During the last two or three hours the Russians have fired very sparingly, scarcely one in ten of the rate at which they at first replied to our batteries. The Mamelon redoubt was perfectly si lent during one hour, then, commencing on the left, fired once from each embrasure. It appeared as if done out of bravado. JUNE 7. Shortly after sunset the Russians ceased firing from their batteries. An incessant shelling was kept up all night from our works, to prevent the enemy from repairing damages. So silent were the Russian works that it seemed probable the guns had been drawn from the embrasures and placed behind the parapets, and that the gunners them selves had also retired to places of shelter. At 8 a.m., however, they again opened fire, but even then seemed to have a limited number of artillery men, for only two or three guns were served at one time in each battery. 10 a.m.—An explosion took place in our 8-gun battery, right attack. Two shells burst on °the roof of the magazine, without doing any material damage ; a third fell, and penetrated into the in terior. A portion only of the gunpowder was ex ploded. A quantity of fuses were lost. No one was killed, and only two men wounded. The mis chief done to the work will be repaired without much cost of time or labour. Captain George Frederick Dawson, Royal Engi neers, was killed this morning. It has become known that operations are to be commenced in earnest this evening. The French are to assault the Kamptscatka Redoubt on the Mamelon Hill, and also the redoubts on the east side of Careening Bay. As soon as the Mamelon is secured, the English are to take the Quarry work in front of the Redan, and the Russian trenches in front of Frenchman s hill. The French have had served out to them cooked rations for 48 hours, and a pint of wine each. All aro in high spirits, eager for the struggle, and confident of the result. 5 p.m.—A very exciting scene has just transpired. The French divisions have been marching to the attack. The Second Division, with General Carnot at the front, led the way. About six or seven hun dred yards from the entrance to the Karabelnaia ravine the regiments were halted, and shortly after wards General Bosquet arrived, with his staff, and addressed a few words to each regiment in turn. By each, at the conclusion of his remarks, the General was greeted with loud cheers. The order to move forward was then given. The Second Division was scarcely lost to sight in the winding valley of the ravine, when the Fifth Division came in sight. This body of troops had been brought up from the plain during the night : they had quitted it at 2 a.m., and arrived at their position in the camp before Sebastopol at 7 a.m. Their move could hardly have been observed by the Russian pickets about the Tchernaya. This division, under General Brunet, was arranged to form the working party, to secure the hold of, the Mamelon Vert as soon as the attacking columns had taken it. It included the 4th battalion of the Chasseurs-a-pied, with the 11th, 25th, 69th, and 16th regiments of the line, altogether 10,000 men. At the same time. Omer Paella moved with a force, apparently about 15,000 strong, of Ottomans and lEgyptians, and occupied the space on which was formerly encamped the 2d British division, and the brigade of Guards, near the Inkerman heights. Soon after the Fren ..h divisions had passed down the ravine, General Pelissier, with General Can , robert, and an immense staff, amid loud cheer ing, rode past the front of the British troops, and, going by the right of the Victoria Redoubt, took up his station in a small outwork, made for the purposes of observation, about five hundred yards in advance. From this observatory a full view could be obtained of the operations on the right of the Careening Bay Ravine, as well as of those immediately in front against Kamptscatka, re doubt on the Mamelon Vert. Lord Raglan, it was understood, was to take up his position in advance of the Third Division, whence there was a good view of the Quarry in front of the Redan, the more immediate object of the British attack. This quarry . cannot be seen from the look-out station near the Victoria redoubt, being concealed by a hog's-back rise in the fore part of Frenchman's hill. The English troops told off for the attack of the Quarry, and the Russian rifle pits and trenches in front of the works of Frenchman's bill (the British right attack), were now in the advanced parallel and its approaches. A detachment of 100 men of the 88th Regiment, from the second brigade of the Light Division, and a like number of the 7th Fusiliers from the first brigade, together with a similar force taken from the 47th and 49th Regiments of the Second Division, were reserved for the attack. They we re under the ' immediate command of Lieut.-Colonel Campbell, of the 90th Regiment. Colonel Shirley, of the 88th Regiment, was the General in corn .mand in the trenches of the right attack on this 0 yelling. The working parties were supplied in c ertain proportions by nearly every regim6nt of the LiL.':ht Division. All the troops not thus employed re m'ained under arms in reserve. _Half past six.—Four incendiary rockets have just' taken their flight from the Victoria Redoubt towords the town. They are the signal for the starti'Lz of the attacking columns. The fourth rocke t had no sooner taken its flight than the parapets were cleared. Forward went the lines, out a cloud of skirmishers. The Rus sian on the side of the Mamelon Vert thro trcwi were climbed over, trench after trench, appa rently ithout any opposition. Then the s tee p e lull were mounted. The French were sidesrentl y of t h seen in tb,"ee columns, one ascending towards the west face, auother towards the east face of the works, while the th ii- d moved directly up towards the face fronting the " Victoria Redoubt.

Madame Celeste took her annual benefit last night at the above theatre, which was crowded to the ceiling on the occasion. This accomplished lady's claims to public patronage, whether as actress or directress, are too well known and generally admitted to need our advocacy ; and stronger proofs of this could not be wished than were afforded last night by the multitudinous assemblage of her admirers, and the enthusiastic welcome which greeted her first appearance upon the stage. Madame Celeste not only personated her celebrated characters in the dramas of Foreign Affairs and The Pretty Girls of Stilberg with ber usual ability, but also gained a new and important success in a piece by Mr. Tom Taylor, called Helping Hands (presented for the first time on this occasion), in which, however, Mr. Benjamin Webster's inimitable delineation of a distressed old musical enthusiast, who loves nothing in the world so much as his Straduarius' violin, and his busts of Bach and Beethoven, which are seized for debt, and ultimately restored to him by "helping hands," was the most pro- minent feature. Mr. Webster, one of the greatest and most versatile actors that our modern stage can boast, has never, perhaps, appeared to greater advantage than in this character, his performance of which would alone suffice to keep the drama of .Helping Hands before the public for some time to come. The entertainments were most agreeably varied by the pretty dancing of Mesdames Maraquita, Benoni, and Sparl. COURT CIRCULAR.

In another part of our paper, it will be observed that criminal proceedings are being instituted against the partners in Strahan's Bank. Sir John Paul, it appears, has lately been in Paris, whither he pro ceeded several days back for the purpose, it is stated, of making some arrangement in connection with existing assets. A multitude of rumours are in cirulation re- • garding the extent to which individuals have been plun dered of securities especially deposited with the firm for safe custody, and there can be little doubt that the cases are numerous and of considerable mag nitude, In those which have at present trans pired, the property seems chiefly to have consisted of India Bonds, Dutch Certificates, and other things of that class, which were left open in order that tb e firm might be able to collect the periodical intere st or dividends on account of the owners. Whether any securities are missing from locked boxes is 'not stated, but the law as it applies to bankers and agents makes no distinction in such cases. Another meeting of creditors of the house was held yesterday at the office of Mr. Brandon, a solicitor in Essex -street, at which many instances were narrated of the he . artless sys tem the partners have so long deliberately pursued. After the meeting of yesterday, however, it v ias cot con• iidered necessary to pass any resolutions, and the dis cussion terminated with the expression of a determination to exercise the greatest vigilance in order that no undue influences should prevent the necessary I agal investiga tions from taking their proper course. GRAND ATTACK ON THE RUSSIAN WORKS. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Daily News Special Correspondent..) CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE A report is going about the camp that a Polish officer of some standing in the Russian service hew come over and given important information. Ac cording to the current version of the story, the news of the successes of the Allies in the Sea of Azoff has produced a powerful effect on the Russian Comman ders. For some days past Councils of War have been held, on two or three occasions twice on the same day, at which there has been great diversity of opinion, one party advocating a general attack against the batteries and works of the Allies, another re commending that a passive resistance should be preserved. A general depression of spirits is said to prevail among the troops, on account of the great amount of sickness, both in Sebastopol and in the camps. A fire broke out in the town, on the left, this morning, in a direction between Fort Alexander and the Quarantine Fort, and the French have been throw ing shells for the purpose of preventing it from being extinguished. It does not appear to be spreading'. A little after noon a long convoy of carts made its appearance on the north side, coming from the direction of the camp, toward Fort Sievernaia. About an hour afterwards a sudden explosion took place in the lin and two columns of smoke rose in the air. As far as could be ascertained by the telescope, two waggons, carrying gunpowder, seemed to have been blown up. ' The enetnyagah icommenced about 7 p.m., throw ing shot in the direction of the entrance to the middle ravine. A number of shots have also been thrown on the open space in front of the First Bri gade of the Light Division. No casualty has oc curred. conquer ; they were observed to be looking on all sides for an opportunity of advancing, but yet were unable to, move on. Presently a sudden sense of their dangerous position seemed to seize them, and they retired back towards the Mamelon. The Russians by this time had assembled their rein forcements behind the Malakhoff works, and, as the French were moving along the dip of the saddle towards the Mamelon, these troops were seen to come up in a dense mass, -pouring a heaTy flanking fire against our Allies. At the same time they came within range of the guns of the works around the Malakhoff Tower (the Korniloff Bastion), which, notwithstanding the shower of shell and rockets from our batteries, kept up a galling fire against the French as they retired. Some confusion followed, the Russians followed the French into the Kampt scatka redoubt, and the latter were next compelled to evacuate it. That was a time of deep anxiety for all who were watching the engagement. But con fidence was again resumed, when the French, who had descended the Mamelon Hill, were seen to be steadily reforming in the Russian trenches which surrounded its base. Up they went again, sending a shower of balls among the Russians who were now in crowds covering the parapets. The redoubt was fringed with smoke and flames from the fire of Russian rifles against the French as they mounted the hill, and the hill side was covered with the fire of the assailants. It was now a few minutes before 8 o'clock, a dense bank of black clouds rested on the horizon, and the sun had just sank behind it. The Russians made for some time a gallant resistance, but in vain ; as the French mounted they were seen to waver, and just as the French reached the parapets, they leaped down and retired. Our Allies were again masters of the Mamelon Vert. In vain the shipping in the harbour, the guns from the batteries on the west side of Careening Bay, and some on the north side of the roadstead, triel to drive them away. The guards were thrown out, and the working parties speedily set to weak to turn the redoubt against its late possessors. While this had been going on, a sharp struggle had ensued between the French and Russian troops occupying the redoubts on the east side of the Ca reening Bay ravine. The French' had been seen to rush from their advanced approach, and from the right flank of their works, towards the foremost re doubt. In front of this were two large ambus cades and a trench ; one volley appeared to be fired by the riflemen in the pit, after which they hastily fell back on the redoubt. The contest at the first redoubt was speedily settled ; at the se cond redoubt the resistance was more obstinate. Here the Russians bad a deep and secure covered approach, which descended the slope of the cliff, crossed the ravine, and was connected with a like approach from the Mamelon redoubt. A com plete parallel was thfis formed. The enemy in the Careening Bay redoubts were evidently dis mayed when they saw the Mamelon. Vert fall into the hands of the French, for this prin cipal cemm vesication by which supports could arrive to them was thus cut off, and they were not in strength sufficiaiet without reinforce ments to resist with effect the overpowering force of their antagonists. They retired therefore partly by the covered way, and partly towards the slope of the hill, as it falls upon the roadstead, and the work remained in the hands of the French. A large number of prisoners was taken in these re doubts. The number of guns, including some field pieces, taken by the French, is stated to be 24 ; the heavier guns were spiked. As soon as the Mamelon was taken by the French, the order was given by Colonel Campbell for the small force told off for attacking the quarry to advance. One end of the quarry, that looking eastward iu a direction towards the Ma akhoff: Tower, was connected with three parallels which the Russians had dug in front of the most ad vanced works on Frenchman's Hill to prevent our further advance. The large rifle-pit which the Russians contrived to throw up after " Egerton's pit" had been taken from them, was connected with the foremost of these parallels. When the order was given for our attacking party to advance, the 88th and 7th rushed out from the right of the zigzag approach on the left of our advanced work, the men of the 47th and 49th regiments from the left of the approach. While some rushed up the hill towards the Quarry, others took possession of the enemy's rifle pit and advanced trench. It appeared that the Russians on seeing the attack of the French against the Mamelon had moved along their trenches towards the right, where they became connected with the trenches or other works on the Malakhoff hill, so that the left, that side against which our men advanced, was almost wholly deserted. A trifling opposition met with in the Quarry itself was quickly reduced, and our troops congratulated themselves on having gained an easy victory. Carried away by their enthusiasm, they even advanced towards the Redan, and perhaps, had they been in force, such was the confusion and alarm of the Russians, they might have carried this im portant work. As it was, the enemy returned with comparatively powerful reinforcements, and suddenly opened a flanking fire, which compelled our men to abandon the quarry. It was not armed as had been anticipated. A second time cur man moved against this work, and took it from the ene my, wbo had again entered it ; nor was this the last time, for still later in the evening a third con test for its possession took place, which ended as before in .our being victors, but at a severe expense. No less than 18 officers, and a large number of men, amounting to upwards of half the original attacking force, were placed hors de combat, in cluding killed and wounded. Col. Campbell behaved with the most determined gallantry. He was struck no less than four times, and once so severely by a musket ball, which providentially was prevented from inflicting a more serious wound by striking the front of his sword belt, that be fainted. No thing but the unflinching bravery of the tro ups could have enabled them to retain the Quarry after they had wrested it from the enemy. The ground at the back of the Quarry was fortunately found to be loose and soft, So that the working party were enabled to throw up some cover in this di rection without much difficulty. Our exact leis is not known, nor will it be until after an armistice has enabled the dead outside to be collected, and communications to be made respecting prisoners. Lieutenant Maclean Lawrence, of the 34th Regi ment, who was wounded a few nights since, was killed. Captains John Peel and Brown Wssthe id, of the same regiment, and Lieut. Saunders were wounded, and Lieut. Clayton is reported to be missing. Of the Royal Engineers, Lieut. Graves Lowry, a general favourite and mos t ac ti ve officer, was killed by a musket shot, which penetrated the back of the neck. He is said to have volunteered f o r duty with the storming columns whenever a general assault might take place. Lieutenant An derson, 9Gth Regiment, doing duty as an assistant engineer, was also wounded by a musket ball, but not dangerously. The casualties have been scat tered among so many various regiments, and the statements given by those most closely engaged are so imperfect and often contradictory, that until the regular returns are collected and pUblished, no satisfactory conclusions can be made either as to the extent or precise nature of our losses. The loss of the French is variously reckoned from eleven to fourteen hundred in killed and wounded. Many of their bodies are lying scattered over the Malakhoff Hill. The number of Russians lying upon the Mamelon Hill is immense ; the slaughter chiefly occurred when the French, after their tem porary retirement from the Mamelon Redoubt,. re turned with renewed energy to the attack against the Russian reinforcements, and drove them back behind the Malakhoff. The Zouaves again suffered severely. The 6th regiment of the line is also said to have lost a great proportion of officers. JUNE 8. The working parties have not been idle. The wall of the covered approach leading up to the redoubt on Mount Sapone has been turned, and now faced towards Careening bay. The embrasures of the Mamelon redoubt have been converted into lodgments for riflemen on the sides facing the French and English frontiers, and some guns, pro bably field pieces, have been turned toward the enemy. The covered approach from the left of the Mamelon redoubt toward the Karabelnaia ravine has been reversed in its aspect, and the French troops are now safely placed under its protection.from A new coveted approach has been carried P to the our advanced zigzag in the rightattack Quarry, and on all sides our new acquisitions ap pear secure. been observed to Several bodies of troops h ave s o me barges me narges nave come over from the North side. s hat appeared to also been towed over, con ve y ing enemy nave scarcely b© stores of ammunition.

A fire at present burning in the town, but seemingly confined to one small house, is attributed to the action of one of these missiles. Various rumours are prevailing as to the intended operations to-night. Among the French a belief Prevails that a regular attack is to be made against the Malakhoff hill, while the English assault the Redan. An attack by the enemy, with a view to recover some of his losses, is not considered un likely. An attempt was made on the Quarry 0r,04.1.04.4. , w00 . ..,414w at daybreak this morning , but was quick ly re pulsed. A vigorous fire of musketry from the troops within it, and some deadly discharges from the four-gun battery near ou r advanced work os Frenchman's hill, compelled the Russ ians to retire. Th e y were in great force. These continued re verses cannot but have had a very dispiriting influence on their troops, and now that sufficient time ha' s elapsed to strengthen our newly-gained we have no reason to anticipate any. untowa,rd °e - we even should the enemy advance in considerabl° numbers. d Strong positions, gales of wind from the north-east, an clouds of dust have been sweeping over the c ar°P nearly the whole day. AIN'S t• No event of importance took p lace during tb° night.
