In that part of our correspondent's letter which was. , written on the 21st of March, and consequently more Than 241hoursb e f ore thi s attack, an observation is ma d e, that "the ease w i th w hich the Russians get in between rallel on the left att ac k is a the ad vance d nn A fte -§ 9n nr P-' a - ' proof of th e .44i f r a lineeri - of cl?"‘vfcirks -" and it i s a l so h for duty in the 4 ' shown that tll4k-4i.ltlib4r of''93°"? we a trenches was insufficient; inasmuch as it was sometiines place ,theta 30 peCes -wart.

Thellussiaas first fell, with a force of 15 battalions o f 1,000 men 'sick moving is two columns ; upon the head • of the sap which the- French aie driving forwards on the right Of the Mamelon. The attack was made with fierce shouts and extreme fury, and General Canrobert states that-the enemy- were - thridee driven hack'hy the 8d Zouaves. The Russians - , Never, succeeded at last in - • taming apassage oa' the left:, of the • French -parallel, which they turned ; they then passed along the.parallel till they came to the British right, where it is connected Wifttherreifeli works.' Detachments of the 77th and " ' '97th •Iteginiente - (British) occupied 'this potittion, - aod thoughtaken for the moment bothinfia.rik andearar; the gallant fellows of the 97th repulsed the attack at-" the pcint. okAte bayonet„ in, which:Captain , Vick-ers, who believed with distinguished bravery, was unheppily_kiiled. While this combat was going- on upon the right tibe • enerivYalaerseceeeded itypenetratingto - our second Parallel car , , the , leftiecalled - the Green. Hill- attack, and they likewise reached our mortar battery. en the left front :of our right attack. , Fortunately, Lieutenant-Celonel,TYl - of the Engineers, succeeded in bringing pp with great priiniptitude - detaehme n t s of those fine regiments, • - tliiiitirl i uSifierirstrid the 3'4th, Which had been it Work '.hard , by, and there troops advanced with - so much steadi ness and resolution.that the Russians were ejected,- and fairly p it chedaver-the.parapet, with-but little firing be _our part. The loss of these regiments was about 2Q men killed and wounded ; but it is feared that Lieutenant- Colonel Kelly, of the 34th, whom Lord Raglan only re -ports as miseing; was in fact killed, and Captain Browns; 1. -a son cif Lord Kilmaine, was mortally wounded. Mean .. while, the French, who had retired on their reserves, rallied with great energy, fell upon the enemy and drove hiin back 'so far towards the Mamelon -that they were enabled to leVel And destroy nearly all the ambuscades • ttr'Tifie pits. It is to this part of the engagement that .General Canrobert's telegraphic despatch more particn larly„referred, aiad, although great numbers of lives were J sacrificed on b o th s id es, the result of this struggle seems' 'to be that the relative position of both armies is precisely I 'What it "Was before. ' This' Attack, however, was one of . nurnitial magnitude and importance. The Russian Gerre rals had brought eight battalions of fresh troops into the tqwn, expressly to make it,: and they evidently hoped to Tower. In the approaches direct e d aga i nst the Malakheff Tower. In this attempt they utterly failed, and the less they sustained waSundoubtedly very great. ••in an ordinary-siege, in which the garrison of the • town is numerically weaker than Ale besieging arroy,the loss of nun sustained by the Russians in these repeated sallies would be a seriops injury t o the , defence ot_ th e place ; but throughout these operations before Sebas topol the Russians bare conducted their defence .as if Both-their' men aed their stores o'f war were inexhaustible, which indeed they are so long as they aan be replenished from the depots of the army in the interior of the Cri mea. Hence, although we have no doubt that the losses of the enemy in all these - contests have been far greater than those of the allie•elti's nevertErle.Ls thought expedient to continue them for the purpo , e of harassing and weakening the assailants,e Here, again, the , Ordi nary conditions of a liege are inverted, for it is more cemmeu for the be'iegers to harass and exhaust the gar rison than for the garrison to inflict that scrt of annoy ance on the besiegers. But the Russians go still fur ther ; although therlfa've"fir'nb latince succeeded in *resting from,us-or destroying any fortified -portion of our works, it is admitted Oa: on this and several other aappaAens t ‘ h r ey penetrated int o th em, t h ey ran along the. „, r 4 e . ar ef onr.parallels; surprised th e Men in - the - trench es with a supefroe torce,' and 'drive n out after an t-' Obstinate resietanne: 'We einribi'renhlf d , Wy•lnsfanee wheels as much has - been done by 'any portion of the arsales,agakeitethe Ruesiaelinsee prehably because , oerGeneralsare averse to. risk4their men in. these inef '.febtfve;:conteste Sie.&'appeara for the Morneht : • tirttee'rhofred into and`de..! fence of the Matneloii, l regiticledit - i 'We kej of position, and Would enable' 4 if- in -our pOssOssion, - -;, ? cf1F9490 a°R.Vt., Qi-trielAn a• Ar P 4 harhon ;If the, „ewe +8 yQo ta o u with, jeny ..prospect.. of sticcessi, .t ha t .position inns he 'take n ; an d the exlreme , energy an d .

W e are authorised to Eta to that Bright Phoebus does not accept for the Somersets hire Stakes. , NORFOLK. ,Ileeede_eply:-hardened earth yielded sooner than was ex pected to-the combined influence of shower and sunshine and strong wind, and bythe commencement of the present month various farming operations which had been long suspended were resumed again with all possible activity, but with frequetit interruption from severe frost. Up to the present moment, the keen air has so counteracted in a great measure the effects of a warmer sun that few, indeed, are the indications of returning spring. Our fields still look very bleak' and barren, our gardens cold and unattractive. We seekin, vain on sunny banks for the pale primrose and sweet-scented violet, and hear not at early morn theedheerful notes of our favourite songsters. All nature appears still wrapped up in the mantle of winter. For the first few days of the month the weather softened considerably, the wind being S.W., but a change crn 'the 6th to the N.E. lowered the temperature again, and it has since continued in nearly the same quarter. Last week the ground was frequently covered with snow, and at times very cold. To-day is bright and cheerful, after a night's frost of extreme severity. This has not been a very dry month, 1.47 inches of rain having fallen in ten days, We are truly sorry to say serious apprehensions exist about the growing crop of wheat, from great loss of plant, particularly on weak, poor soils ; indeed we have already heard of some being ploughed up, and much that it is feared will have to be, many fields looking so bare and naked that it is enly by close inspection a few sickly-looking plants can be seere; but great caution and judgment ought to be exercised; asha thin plant sometimes proves the hiost pro ductive, and at .present it is too early to decide posi tively on 'the extent of injury received, the wheat being so unusually, backward. With genial weather, it would undoubtedly improve much, and on fine deep-soiled wheat land, and even on much that is not so, it may eventually; we trust, be found fully planted ; but a late harvest may be expected, 'which is generally unfavourable. to produc4 tion. Top dres,sing will, be extensively applied, and we need scateelY recommend heavy rolling. All spring crop ping is late. ;Beans, peas, land oats are only just finished sowing, and! barley just I commenced. All 'soils work admirably, tilie land bein in a loose, d r y, f r l a bl e : state, ; but the work pl'ogresses s owly, from th e sharp frosty mornings. small seeds a dea r , a nd b u t few seen of find quality. Thei lambing sea on is drawi ng t o aec l os d ; t h e fall has beenlgenerally ; gobd, and the lambs strong and healthy, huddle loss of elves in many instances !consi ! derable. Hisw:they are ti be fed for the next month by many, even iwith a heavyioutlay for artificial food, is a question we should have been at a loss to answer. We are fortunately spared that difficulty, its solution having been given in a long letter in our local papers of last week, which we have no doubt excited great interest and attention—perhaps even something more. It appears that chopped straw "steamed " may be most profitably used for feeding purposes, particularly for ewes and lambs, even without the aid of " corn, meal, and cake." We must confess the announcement somewhat startled us, particularly coming from a district so strongly asso ciated in our minds with " blowing sands" that even straw, we should have thought, could not have been well spared for such purposes. However, the author is evi dently a very sensible and practical mane and we do not doubt he ha experienced the benefits from his practice he stated, which we are sure many will be but toe happy to follow, and thank him heartily fir the sug gestion if it answers as well with them. We hear many complaints df potatoes and beet being much injured by frost. From the extreme scarcity of feed, keeping sheep are selling at lower prices ; useful hoggets, of fair size and well-bred, may be bought at from 28s. to 32g., and fat ones at 425., to 465., with a very slow demand for the former. We heard of a large flockmaster who made 275. of part of his lambs last summer, and sold the remainder the other day'at 28s. Irk truth, sheep will be found to have paid belly' , l , r wintering ; probably fat hoggets will do the best .; these are now making in Smithfield close to 7d. per lb. qut of their wool. Fat beasts are not selling so well, fecb snaking a clear 7s. 6d. per stone. The autumn-bought beasts can pay nothing. At the com mencement pf the month a fall in the value of wheat of ss. per qr. took place, occasioned by the death of the Emperor of Rbssia ; but the panic subsided by the fol lowing week, and prices regained their former level, and have remained since without much alteration, the best red making 170 s. per qr. ; but a great flatness prevails, produced by the uncertainty of the future. Barley has been a dull sale without alteration in price; but more animation now exists, with an upward tendency—its present value 28s. to 325. per qr. The corn trade is go verned by no fixed principles ; it is often influenced by unaccountable impulses, and frequently runs counter to the current of general opinion. In regard to future sup plies, when we look at the immense increase in the steam threshing power of the cduntry, and know that it all has been fully employed since harvest, in addition to the still existing hors e-threshing power, we come to the conclu sion, confirmsed by the opinion of others, that less grain of any description than usual at this time remains in the hands of the growers, which must now come slowly to market from other pressing employments. WORKSOP. March has been rather a dry month, but very back ward for vegetation, the temperature having been much below the average. Snow fell on three days, amounting a,together to the depth of three inches; and rain on five days, the quantity Af water registered by the rain gauge being 1 inch 14 parts—considerably below .the average fall for March. The mean temperature of the month from 124 observ3tions was 5 deg. below the aver age. The prevailing wiiuds were from the N.W. and N.E. 17 days ; S.E. 3 days ; and from the S. and S.W. 11 dap. By the end of March it is usual to see the fields assuming their cheel7ful green, but this year every kind of vegetation is very backward. The young wheat looks very queer and blanch,sd in general ; and, although no great damage may have been done as yet, unless the, weather changes soon to a, more mild and genial state, the growth must be very, late. Farmers will soon find . all their turnips di,appearing rapidly, and nothing in the shape of grass to supply their ,olace. The land is now in the finest possible condition, and oat arid barley sowing is quite general ; and, as a good .dry bed for the seed is of some consequence for a good crap, one cause of fear is therefore rerionved. Theplanting of potatoes is likewise general, and this invaluable esculent is receiving better treatment in its culture ; it may, therefore, be hoped the disease will proveless fatal in its effects than formerly. In orchards and gardens the show of fruit blossoms isyerY good this year, the fine autumn having ripened the wood well. The, continued backward weather has retarded many kinds -‘ , sf early-flowering fruit trees, so there is more safety for the crop 'when the spring really sets in. April has commenced with as winterly weather as pos sible. This day (the 3d) snow and sleet are falling in showers, andAhe yeryrogks are puzzled whether they have not commenced building their nests at the wrong season. EAST CORNWALL. It is by no means a pleasant office to convey true in formation of such importance to the community as the present appearance of the produce of the earth presents. The long and severe frost has been such that it is im possible to overlook the fact that the usual vegetative progress has been materially checked. The 'wheat' plant is generally looking wretchedly bad ; in many fields the appearance is as a naked fallow. Vetches are much ,injured, the early turnips completely de stroyed, Swedes greatly damaged, and all roots that . were stored have more or lees .suffered from what may justly be teimed ant American winter. Nor is this in clement wiaather yet over ; at this moment it is cold aid windy as tit Christmas, and but for the length of the day the cold would be intense: The spring is very back ward, and , keep is already got very scanty. Never have sheep suffered more than during this season, and the . losses are, as a whole, exceedingly heavy. Those flock masters who have used cake and corn chaff will see the great benefit it has done, whilst those who have noglected this precatien will, in all probability, suffer further, fosses when the grass comes. The land works well, brit the tillage will be much later than usual ; and where hay an d other fodder are scarce it will be a difficult, task to coraplete it. The demand for store cattle is by no meads brisA. Fat stock keeps its price, and in the course of couple of months must be scarce. The corn trade is in. a feverish state—no man knows what to do ; the Imutt to-moi2th.system is now generally adopted. Still con sumpVon is going on and stocks are fast decreasing. For ina.T.ty years past ;the bulk of. potato planting has been finished before this date, but now searoely anything is done -to it, the soil being too cold and ungenial to re-. ceive set .d bf any kind. There is not a turnip green to be found in - a parish, and the garden is as .barren as the field. T hese things ‘ must tell on our present supplies, and will cause the spring tillage and the appearance of the whoialt:plant to be w a t c hd with more than usual anxiety AA:interest: . Should we get warm weather, with mail Chewers, the appearance of the country would quickly c badge, and a the time of the year is come we may reasoinable hope it will be so. 4 , [AnyEnt TisEmENT,]-IMany thousand cures have been . effected w l',ll,out medic by Du Barry's Delicious Revs- , lenta Ara " Food; of ihdigestion (dv,pepsia), constipation 'T nervous, i 'ens, and liver complaint, paralysis, &c.

Cham bers, Q.C., Mr. Ballaatipe, and Mr. Bevil!, were for the .defendepts. , This peeeecution arose out of, the erection of a pier `tinder the 'first'areh of tondon-bridge, On • the east side, by the defendants, for the use of the passengers by their beate; and,yehich the prosecueeralleged not only inter fered with him in his businesSas a wl2rfinger, but that by its.encroaehing upon the waterway - of the river was also an obstruction and .inconvenience to the 'public Who had occasion .to navigate.it. ~ It. will ,he repollected that there is already one pier on the, upper side of the arch, but in order to obviate the inconvenience anifdatiger to Persori c e who'had to cress the crowded thoroughfare for the purpose of going to' the railway itation, it a pp ea r s that the ditecters of the two companieiabdve Mentioned had caused t i tle Tier in question to be e'r'ected, thus ena biing passengers to come up the steo of the bridge'dn the east Ode, without crowing the road. 'A good deal of opposition, it will be retheinbered, was manifested by the wharfingers and others in the vicinity when the pier was erected, and the City authorities - were applied th"for their Sanotion, conservators of 'the fiver, to its being allowed ito'remain. It appears, however, that no satiri faetory,ceticlnsioe was come to, and in the result the preeent prosecution was instituted, with a view to try the question of the le4ility &the pier. Mr. Ames - Opened the "case' briefly t6the jury, and having explained to them the nature of,the inquiry, he said it appeared to him that the question to be disposed of- was really one 'of law, and, that, in the end, it would be for his lordship to say whether the erection of this pier, - under one of the arches of London-bridge, close to numerous wharves, and where there was such enormous traffie,3wasmot a nuisance and obstruCtion to the public, and, on that ought to be removed. He said-he really 'did- not belie4e, that : there 'was any substan'tial answer' to the indictment, and that his learned friend merely by making an eloquent speech, and detailing the advantages which he suppOied to be derived by the . public from the erection of the pier in question, would, endeavour - to induce the jury to gi ve a verdict for the defendants'. - Hs treed not, however, he said, remind the jury that the law' would not sanction any proceeding which tended to sacr:fice the general convenience and rights of the pabliefor the accommoda tion of oae pprtion of it, and therefore if it was s h own to their satisfaction thatthis pier really did Obstruct the river highway; it would be their •duty. to say that the defendants were guilty, . . , • Severatwitnesses, principally watermen and lighter men, were then examined, and their evidence went to show that the pier obstructed the landing plate or 'steps, at the bridge,"and that it rendered - it very difficult for wherries to land their passengers- at them. One of the witnesses stated . that while rowing a gentl eman and a sick youth who were , going to the railway, to the stairs, his boat was nearly upset by getting foul of the quarter, of the dummy of the pier. It appeared, however, on cross-examination, that the danger was created by the gentlemAn - pueliin,g his umbrella against the dummy,: and the force of the tide drew him over upoa the seat) and so caused the boat to be nearly capsized. it ap-, peared from the testimony of all the witnesses that when it was flood - the tide ran very strong at this'spot, and inshore, and in consequence of the pier diminishing the channel or waterway, it was with considerable difficulty that a barge could be brought up, as it is technically, termed, at the prosecutor's wharf, When the Case had proceeded some length, upon an! intimation given , by the court, the learned counsel on both sides conferred together, and after a good deal of discussion among themselves it was announced by his lordship, That all parties had agreed that the further hearing of the case should stand over to the 24th April ; an intimation at the same. time being given that there was a probability that in the meantime some arrange ment would be made that , would obviate the necessity of any further proceedings; ••- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL.—On Thursday last three men, belonging to the Royal South Lincoln Militia, applied for the means of paying the fare of themselves and fainiliesio their homes at Grantham. They stated that they had been turned out of barracks at Portsmouth, - because they would not be re-attested under the new atrangement of the act of 1852, and desired to seek their homes as best they could, and that they and their fami lies were quite destitute. Mr. Tyrwhitt, on that occa. sion, relieved them and paid their fares from the poor box. The case having been reported in, the papers on Saturday, soon after Mr. Corrie took his. seat, Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., entered the court, and being aceorruno dated with a seat on the bench addressed his worship, and said—Sir, to my utt e r surprise I was pointed out a paragraph in the morning papers of yesterday (Friday), reflecting on the regiment <I .have the honour to cony ,nand ; and so astonished was I at. the statements read l e in it, that lat ,once proceeded, although it was Good Friday, to the War-office, to ascertain what proceedings I could be , taken to remedy the evident Misunderetandini. tberwaseertained that a cotnmunicatilm had been sent down to Portsmouth respecting the matter, and I 0 , self forwarded a letter by post, on the same subject, to the colonel commandant, I must say that that para graph must have Leen published by the papers , for the purpose of vilifying me. I knew they seize on every •occasiem,for so doing ; but I will always resist the pre ceedangs of a licentious, press, no matter whether in the House of Commons or in this court. I. feel the indignity more, because in the affair-no blame could be attached to Colonel Pane. As:to the, general statement of the facts, it is totally incorrect, for when I. d* address the regi ment on the point of •volunteering for their re-attesta tioe,,.wy obseryations,were received ,vvith:three cheers, and I subsequently vi s it e d th e L inen in their rooms at dinner time, where r took the opportunity of ordering thenr a pint of ale each.: hair& always ,treated my: men with kindness. and-consideration, and will con tinue to do-so.. I offered to provide' them with extra ,qoaaforts.aut.of,my own pocket, for, thank Gad, I have the means at my.d401,4a1, and .already I have expended between 3,000/; and 4,9001. on the' regiment. I. hair() been grOssly_vilifie3, b,ut I fear no inquiry, and as an old soldier I have come here to see that nothing discredit able shall be attached to . the Royal regiment I have the honour 'to 06,41mi/incl.. I'lleOe Mr. Tyrwhitt, a gentfe :nan for whom I have the highest respect, and you, sir ) , evil' speak, so that the puhlie may know, that whatever t I pety, be said, against me, there is one thi ng cer t a i n thilt .kvoi)'_l shall get plenty of recruits'. Lb4r. Cowie; after rearlitig the report alluded to by the gall Ant colonel, see the paragraph complained:of ; is not% of the editoriAl character , Gut merely the reportof an j ex-parie sfatemslA made in this court by some of the soldiers of tile regime& ci;rhultinded by Colonel Sib thorp. Suppose the facts stated 'byttie mcri had been true, I am , !sore that that gallapt,,offi9er would be the first to admit it a difigracetuy proceeding. I have, how ever, reei ved' a letter: Which: will'clear up the Affair. It is as follows' " Cambridge Barracks, Portsmouth, • . Friday, 'April 6. " Sir,- . --.I observed in the police re,ports,of this day-that an application has been made, to you for relief by some of thomen belonging to the regiment under my command, 'and that yol' ex ten ded the same tb them, for which I beg to tends:' yon i my thanks. ,Their statement is substantkally correct -namely, that their pappages to their homes - had pot been given them, the major general commanding at this place being of opinion' that these men were merely going on leave 'of absence, and consequently, not entitled to their passages home from the public. They were at the same time recommended to -wait, 'till an answer was received from the War-office or this ipiportant point ; but they were in stipla'a burry to get-to' theit' homes, and they at once departed. • Thisapthofiby has ..been since received (yocitcorday ~ morning), . anti all' such - men and thieir 'families 'villa' remained ' till then -have been furnished With passages to their several places of abode, the lait— namely, the,families—at the .expense of the regiu4nt, Government , not finding thii• I regret that such a pro ceeding shouldhave been, necessary ;. but it is absurd to suppose that the ;passages of near 400 men and teir families could be provided without a regular authority In conclusion; I beg too add.thati- if -from the-poor-box or any Otlier'seitme, you have d. been gna.enough to forwa r d ; any, ' of the4e' men home; on an account -being sent ,to u , it 1311%11° be repaid: I may add that I, have also sent orde s to. Grantham, .our county head T quarters, to see every an paid his Passag 0 ' ra fre } hence who naay call up on one o my I ' ' h offieersthere and ,request it s I liaye t e honour, &c ., • itENitY E.

Sibtlierp nor myself having an idea of flab . Crlinda,'Piuch less profferin services of the regimenf - thine,l4whiCh Int- least ha wish,to go." , ,Frain his 16fter it appears- that 'the , men have been treated With gfeat kindness, arid; had they waited, would have been' sent to their homes: . Cbionel'Sibtherp 40m plains ofthe report in the -papers; butrl do 'not - Wilk they are at all to blade for 'the publication of ari tx , parte statement.' I am sure the gallant colonel wilt ad mit 'that the representations of the press require great and judicious disdernment in a police court ; - for he '(the colonel)` must know that the magistrates, as judges, without learned aid, have a more arduous labour in de ciding cases, and ex-parte statements made to them, thin the'higher judges. The publication of such itate ments in the - newspapers has f requen tl y b een atte ded with great and good results, though, no doubt, at tiines, the parties complained of suffer under unjust iinputa tations until they have been heard. However, every, sensible person, before forming an 'opinion, will say; " Wait and hear what' the other side have to say." both sides have now been hear•l, and I doubt not a fair report of what has passed h ere w ill appear i n the papers.—Col. ijibthorp agreed, with his worship. He-was satisfied with having given the qtpla,riation lie had'made ; he then thanked 11-Ir. Currie far his attention and withdrew.— During the gallant colonel's, short speech the audience in the. Court had frequently to' be 'checked lfrqm giving open expn ssion to their admiration of his conduct towards his soldiers. Four more soldiers, including two lance corporals of the SaMe' regiment, whose fares one were also paid, w ere told'by the ma'gi'strate the mis nder standingthei had been labouring u n d er. ~ ,, I ~:, ply )ver the no CRYSTAL PALACE.—FIVE SHILLING DAY, SAT RDAY. —Admissions on payment, 357 ; ditto by season tickets, 1,283.

His sermon was taken from Romans, viii., 32. There, was a large atten dance also of the magistrates, and the discourse produced a deep impression upon all present. The prisoners joined heartily in the service, and conducted themselves with great proprety. MULLINGAR FAIR.—The April fair was held on Fri day. Good horned cattle were scarce. Horses, for which this fair has always been celebrated, showed a marked falling off, both in quantity and quality ; those suiced for the army were particularly scarce, and for any of a good description exorbitant prices were de manded ; but few, however, ch ange d h ands. Mr. P. Manley purchased 18 for the Royal Horse Artillery at from 351. to 40/.. each. Amongst other dealers on the look-out for troopers were Alderman Reynolds, Messrs. Hartigan, P. Donelly, Wh ee l er, Stone, &c. ; they, however, obtained very few. There was a good business transacted at Nugent's Repository during the day, and some high prices obtained for hunters, car riage horses, &,c. Mr. BristOw gave 70 guineas for a chesnut mare, and Mr. Hartigan (of Limerick) pur chased, two promisin g -looking h un t ers at a hi g h fi gure. Major Colburn gave 70 guineas for a fine-looking car riage horse. Mr. Smyth piirchased a four-year-old colt, by Windfall, for 55 guineas. Several bunters remained unsold in consequence of the very exorbitant prices de manded. tee.
