LONDON, TH Ull SDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1855. BOMBARDMENT SEBASTOPOL. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) FOURTH DIVISION CAMP, FRIDAY Ev .NING, • APRIL 13. Up to the present moment our batteries have succeeded in establishing a superiority of fire over the Russians, but it is not very 'decided, and the silence of the enemy's guns may, arise, in some measure, from want of ammu nition, or from confidence in the strength of their earth works. It would seem, indeed, as if our fire was almost thrown away on the enormous mounds of earth cast up at the Redan and before the Round Tower and Wester , Batteries. lam forcibly reminded to-day of the old simile of the butt at Woolwich which I was compelled to resort to six months ago to illustrate' the effect of our artillery on the earthworks of Sebastopol. The whole of the parapets of the Redan and Round Tower are jagged and pitted with holes several feet deep, where the shot have sunk, the sharp angles of the embrasures are knocked away, and the abattis in front is considerably damaged here and there, but the real strength of the place is unimpaired ' • and, so !ong as the Russians can find new g uns, fresh supplies of ammunition, and men to fight the batteries, we are not one inch nearer to the town than we were in last October, so long as we rely alone on the fire of our artillery to make us masters of it. There are great dif ferences of opinion among those officers to whom I have spoken respecting the chances of an assault, but there can be little doubt but that an attack on the Round Tower, the MamelOn, and, the two earthworks on the south side of Inkerman, which are called by the French the batteries 1 Avril and 2 Avril, would attended with success, if made with sufficient force, Although the loss of life would be very considerable until guns could be got up to reply ,to the fire of the north forts, the shipping, and the bastion face of the Redan. Far be it from me to arrogate to myself the smallest, military knowledge, or to pretend to criticise the operations of our Generals, but I use the words of many officers when I say that these places are not invulnerable, and that the possession of them would most materially conduce to a successful termina tion of our labours. It may be that our Generals see some surer and less bloody,path into Sebastopol. They may well hesitate to sacrifice the gallant fellows who ,oust fall in -such an arduous and terrible undertaking as the storming of these positions ; but, if Great Britain has set her heart on the reduction of t'he stronghold which has already cost her so much precious blood and treasure, she must be content to pay ,the price to the last farthing. The exact result of the ships' fire it is impossible to calculate, but 'at present there does not wear to be any probability of its effect being paralyzed by the action of our fleet off the mouth of the roads. It may be observed, by the way, that what we call the " Harbour" of Sebastopol is called " the Roads" by the Russians, and that the harbour, properly so called,is that which we term the dockyard creek or harbour. Directly at the back of the Round Tower there are eight small ships And some steamers, • and several are moored close in to the north side. If these vessels are heavily armed, they can, in conjunet;on with the two-deckers off Port Paul or Karabelnaia, inflict great damage on any troops in possession of the Round Tower and Mamelon, and our batteries cannot get at them. Night after night there is a rumour that next • morning there is to be an assault, and the. bravest may turn pale at the thought )f the loss of life that must take place if the Russians defend their works with their usual pertinacity and logged courage when placed on the defensive. Last night, iadesd, the scaling ladders and pontoons at the engineers' parks were prepared, fitted with ropes, and 4.0 t ready for service, and a considerable number of them were sent down to the trenches. It was, of , worse, imagined that the assault was certain, but pro bably no intention of the kind existed. , It is always usual to have scaling ladders in the trenches in case ,f the explosion of a magazine, or some sudden event occurring to paralyse the enemy, and to afford an oppor tunity of an immediate assault on any important por tion of their position. To-day the report is revived. It is quite certain that - preparations have been made at all the hospitals to provide for the accommodation of wounded men. We hear also that Lord Raglan applied to Captain Lushington to know whether the sailors' division could take the guns of the right attack and work them, and it is underat,ood that the batteries on French man's-hil will be manned by them to-morrow. The Artillery will, of course, be employed elsewhere. All the horses of the Artillery will be used to-night in cat'- tying down ammunition, and in other work connected with the siege operations. The men—brave, noble fellows—Ere all actuated by the best spirit and by the most entire devotion, and any work they may be c4lled upon to do wili be done if man can do it. They are sometimes sadly tasll6:l, however. For instance, some of our gallant Rifle Brigade were put into pits quite unfitted to protect them. The roundshot from the enemy's batteries went right through the parapets of sandbags, and killed and wounded ten riflemen, including a most exemplary and excellent non commissioned officer. Again,. 300 men under the com mand 'of Major Blunt, 68th Regiment, were employed last night to get four 8-inch guns into position, on the advanced parallel of the left attack. They found on coining to work that the passages cut through the para pets fort he guns were wide enough to let the wheels through, but that the naves stuck fast, as the breadth of the cut had only been calculated from the outside of the tire of one wheel to the' outside of another, and when they came to haul and lower the guns they found the ropes were rotten and that they broke in their hands. The result was that after a night's hard labour they only succeeded in getting one of the four guns into the place assigned for it. There have been frequent close and long conferences between the allied generals, in which Omer Pasha has taken a part. His Excellency dined with Lord Raglan on Tuesday. On Monday and on Tuesday there were lengthy councils at our head-quarters, at which Omer pasha, General Canrobert, and General Bosquet were present. lam not aware whether or not Sir George Brown attends these councils ; but it is pretty certain that neither Sir Colin Campbell, General Pennefather, Sir Richard England, or Sir John Campbell are much in 'Lord Raglan's secrets, and that he keeps his counsel - as close as it had been his wont to do from the time he as sumed the command of the army. In fact, I believe that any subaltern in the army is a s well acquainted with the plan of future operations as any of our Generals of Division, and whatever renown and glory Lord Rag lan may gain from any daring enterprise or skilful coup will be all his own. 'His lordship is understood to let Major-General Airey share his counsels, and it is Probable that General Simpson and General Jones, from their respective positions, must have a certain de gree of the Field-Marshal's confidence reposed in them. Hitherto our army has scarcely been in a position to undertake any offensive operation against the enemy outside, but the efficient reinforcement it has received of 20,000 of Omer Pacha'e best troops should render our chiefs able to direct a reconnaissance against Baidar; unless an assault is imminent. The Tchernaya is now flooded, and could not be crossed by artillery, and it would not be prudent or safe to push a small force into the gorges near Mackenzie's farm. On Tuesday the enemy received a large convoy of stores. To-day they have received fresh supplies, apparently of ammunition, but there is no appearance of any increase to the army encamped between the Belbeck and 'the Tchernaya. The arrival of the Turks put an end to all fear for Balaklava, and the lines may now be held against as many Russians as can be deployed to attack them with out the smallest fear of the result. The railway brings up 28 waggons full of shot, shell, and ammunition daily, more than halt way to the terminus, and its services have been invaluable, though they may not have realised the extravagant expectations which had been formed ol ,hem. 10 P.M, The batteries have been nearly silent since dusk. The fire has now recommenced. There is a smart affair going on between the Rifles and advanced parties in the trenches on our left. 10.50 p.m. I had scarcely written the above lines, after having looked out of the hut to listen to the reports, when the rolls of musketry on the left roused me out once more ; and I have just now come back from Cathcart's Hill with the painful impression that our noble allies have sustained a serious check. Five minutes' run brought me to Cath cart's Hill, where numerous groups of officers and men had already assembled. It is a starlight night, but dark, that is, the stars do not light up the deep blue sky sufficiently to enable one to see the guns before us very distinctly, or to trace the outlines of the country. But on our left, it seemed, when the hill was reached, as though all the constellations in heaven had settled on the earth, and were twinkling in flashes and flickering threads of fire in front of the Russian lines. The effect of the desperate work which has been going on between the French and the Russians can be compared to nothing that I can think of save a broad street, as seen from a distance, brightly illuminated for some festive occasion, with the wind playing fiercely and irregularly along the fretted gaspipes. It was quite unknown to,any of the spectators whether this conflict was the result of a sortie by the enemy or of an assault by the French on the Flag staff Battery and its outworks, and at this moment I am quite unable to determine the question ; but I am sorry to say—and sincerely do I hope I may be wrong—my opinion is that the French have attacked the Russian works, and have failed to take them, or they may have spiked the guns. Heaven grant for the success of 'the expedition it may be so l and may they then have retired. However, the Russian cheers—those horrible shrill ringing yells which have haunted my.ears ever since Inkerman—have reached us even here against the wind, and the Redan and Garden Battery have not fired. They certainly would have opened their guns on the place had the French succeeded. Again, no mines have been sprung. All these are signs of failure if our ailies made an , attack, and are also un favouralile to the supposition that the Russians have made a softie. , That the contest has been fierce and bloody there cannot be the smallest doubt, and as I write the fire has commenced again. SATURDAY MORNING, 12.30 A.M. Sive 11,10 the Oght have boon raging oxvi I have returned once more to my den in despair as to Re cause. lam now'inclined to think it was a sortie in the trench, which was unsuccessful, was renewed, and was finally repulsed victoriously and with great loss to the enemy. It appears that at first, about 10 o'clock, drums were heard beating a charge, or alarm, all along the French lines at first ; but whether they were Res .:inn or French drums no one can say. The cheers were undoubtedly Russian. Sir John Campbell despatched Capt. Hume, Aide-de-Camp, to head-quarters to learn the cause of the firing, but as nothing was known there respecting any attack to be. made by the French, it is almost certain that this busy night has been the work of the Russians. There is now a profound silence—not a gun can be beard, and the horrid die of shot and shell screaming and whistling through the air, the bursts of cannon and bombs, the cheers, and rolling volleys, have, all died allay, and the deadly lights have died out and left all the black waste in darkness. While the fight lasted the quantities of shell thrown by both sides were prodigious. They might be seen 6 and 8 at a time seaming the sky with .their fiery curves, and then bursting with 'a bright red flash which lit up for an instant the smoke, and flashed through it like a beam from the setting sun through a murky cloud. The French threw "bouquets," two, three, and four shells from one mortar in flights at a time, and must have caused fearful havoc in' the enemy's lines. At every crashing volley our Ten used to grow quite excited, and many a " Bono Franceese" ran through the crowd, but the few Frenchmen who were there talked in subdued and eager tones, with a deeper interest in the fate of their gallant comrades than we could feel. Towards the close of the struggle the Russians fired angry volleys from their cannon, and threw a multitude of shells into the French lines, which were paid back with interest. It must have been the most sanguinary affair we have had since Inkermann and no doubt the Ilioniteur will let us know the truth of it, and give us additional reason to admire the gallantry of our allies. Our ineei,eeernefl to think it was a French attack, and one fellow exclaimed, "Oh ! when are we to get a chance I" Another eit claimed, " When we do, Jack, I hope to the Lord they'll let us go at it by daylight, I like to see my inimy !" The progress of the battle was watched with the most intense anxiety, and many were the specula tions and arguments respecting the lines of fire—as to whether they were from friend or foe, and as to which was which, and who were gaining and who were losing. At last with the silence we all dispersed, and the camp is once more profoundly quiet, for the reports from the rifle pits are deadened b' the wind. There is less cre dence attached to-night to the rumour that we are " going in" at daybreak. The last nail on which it hangs is the fact that the Caradoc 'has been ordered to get ready to carry Lord Raglan's, despatches to-mor row. SATTJRDAY, 3 O'CLOCK, A.M. There is a tremendous cannonade on our left. The Light Division bugles are sounding close at hand. 3.ls.—There is an awful crashing roar from the Rus sian batteries. The,Light Division are on the alert. I must close my despatch for the present. And now to my diary. TUESDAY APRIL 10. I was obliged to send off a very hasty despatch' ;his morning, as the fatigue and the wet of Monday had nearly incapacitated me from writing. It was nearly noon before the Russians recovered their surprise and manned the whole of their guns, and we gained a decided advantage by the secrecy with which the day of opening fire was kept, and the excellence of our arrangements. In the extreme right Inkerman Battery, manned by our artillerymen, the guns, in consequence of a message from our allies that they were suffering from our silence, were opened before all was quite in readiness, and the result was that the enemy inflicted some damage on us in con sequence of their being able to concentrate their fire before it was taken off by the other batteries. A valu able man—a corporal of Sappers—was killed, and several men wounded here. Some of our batteries are as yet unfinished, but exertions will be made to complete them at night during the siege. I have not been able to get the armament of the right attack as yet, but I send you a statement of the armament of the left attack, which it cannot be dangerous to publish, as our cannonade and bo►nbardment will have failed utterly if Sebastopol be not taken before these lines are in print, and the whole dreary process of dragging up more guns, getting up fresh platforms and throwing up new batteries, will have to be gone over again. The French have, it is said, about 300 guns and mortars in position, but I be lieve such an estimate to be exaggerated. At 120 rounds a-gun per diem, we can fire for about 10 days without much damage to our guns. If the place does not fall then, it is not in the power of artillery to take it, and we must either get' ready to invest the north and south, or try the dreadful alternative of a general storm, unaided by the ships, which seem at present all but useless. Our armament in Chapman's batteries is as follows : Left Attack.—No. 1 Battery.—Ten 24-pounders, two 8-inch guns. No. 2 Battery (Sailors).—Eight 32-pounders, two 8- inch guns. No. 3 Battery (Sailors). —Eight 24-pounders. No. 4 Battery (Sailors).—Two 32-pounders, four 24- pounders, two 8-inch guns, one 10-inch gun. No. 5 Battery (Sailors).—One f3-inch gun, one 10-inch gun. Picket-house, or No. 6 Battery.—Two 32-pounders, one 24-pounder, and three 10-inch mortars. No. 7 Battery.—Six 32-pounders. No. 8 Battery.---Six 32-pounders, two 8-inch guns. Irrespective of the guns in the above batteries, there are in position the following mortars-10 13-inch and 4 10-ineb, intended .for bombarding the remoter works,` and the storehouses and magazines of the enemy. The casualties in the first day's cannonade on our side were net numerous. In the Naval Brigade one most excellent and zealous yoi.ng officer, Lieutenant Twyford, of the London, lost•his life. He was killed on the spot, and a piece of stone knocked up by the same shot, struck Lord John Hay on the face, cut his mouth, and knocked two of his teeth down his throat, be sides wounding him in the shoulder. The remains of Lieu tenant Twyford were buried to-day, and they were fol lowed to the grave by many officers an d sa ilors. The chaplain of the Diamond performed the funeral service. Lord John Hay's wound is not very serious. Of the men of the brigade 9 were killed and 13 wounded. The artillery of the siege train and men in the trenches lost about an equal number killed and wounded. This morn ing a promising young officer, Lieutenant Sinclair, Royal Artillery, received two very severo wounds from the fragments on the recoil of a gun carriage struck by a shot, and he is, I regret to say, in rather a precarious state. The loss of Lieutenant Twyford is the more to be deplored, inasmuch as it took place at the close of the day, when he had done his work and was about being relieved. The shot which killed him hopped in over the parapet from the angle of the Flagstaff Battery, which almbst rakes the left over Chapman's Batteries, and struck him on the back as he was leaning against the traverse, making up his day's expense paper of ammu. nition. The losses in the Naval Brigade have been severe within these last two days, but our covering parties have not suffered much, as they have been placed out of fire, in shelter close to the batteries. In this respect we seem to have taken a lesson from the Russians, who only keep men enough to man the guns in their works, and draw them from the reserves as they may be required. The cannonade on both sides commenced at dawn to-day, and it was apparent that the Russians had quite recovered from t t r h e e mend surpriseous salvoes eps from their batteries. Oar recedingday,forthey opened a ne u d n w n i e t r h s `gearls t e h s e o y m eg guns.ot " and The practice soon ev the left of the left a ttack and from the right of the right a ttack, which was m ore under observation than other parts of our works, was admirable, and at every shot the earth ` s ar s e i them oftheir as most tod troublesome was knocked up out of the enemy's parapet and embrasures. Our shell practice is not so g ood as it mi g ht be, all on account of bad fuse s. If the fuse burns p ro p erly the direction and flight of the shells are unerring, but a large proportion burst in the air. Some of our, fuses were made in 1802 and s ubsequently. I have heard of some belonging to the last century, but they are not the least reliable, and some of very recent manufacture have turned out the worst of all. At 12 o'clock at noon the fire slackened. The French have silenced eight or nine of the guns of the Bast ion-du -mat (Flagstaff), and had inflicted great damag e on the outwo r ks and on the buildings inside the batte ries in the western t o wer. They had also - almost shut u p the Inkerman batter ies. On our side we had silenc ed half the guns in the Red an and Round RoluenftdthTe melon owearm only one out of seven guns to, anal bad in conjunction with the French reply to us, but the Garden Battery, the Road Battery, and the Barrack Battery were comparatively uninjured, and kept up a brisk fire against us all day. Our guns were restricted to eight shots an hour each. The sea service mortars fired only once in every 30 mi nutes. The Russians, with great sang froid, repaired the batteries outside under fire, and appear to have ac quired confidence and courage, but their fire was by no means as brisk as it was when the siege commenced last year. On our side six guns were disabled, including one large mortar. From 2 till 4 o'clock the firing was very heavy on both sides. It then slackened for half an hour, and at 4 30 it recommenced, and there was one continuous roar of cannon and mortars till darkness set in. Then the French began to throw in shells by five and six at a time, and discharged quantities of rockets into the town, and our mortars kept up a - steady fire at the d t the ° Redaa and Mamelon till daybreak. We are ab ou t arm ing a battery in the advanced parallel with e i g h t -i nc h position erna night, nt. calculated bHui st E owing Excellency ea d n o c :Ta o immensetmh e er rain Pasha mischiefa visited the enemy. This operation should have been effected in state of the ground, it was found imp oss ibl e to gunso effect the a Monday operation. p Lord Raglan to-day, and a council of wartook place at head-quarters, at which the French Generals assisted. The day was dark, and drizzling mists fell at intervals , in the early morning it r a i ne d h eav ily. A. large con vo y • was observed coming into Sebastopol to-day from Sim. pheropol. Several des er t ers came i n from the town, but they had no intelligence of importance to communicate. An interpreter was taken up in one of our haft • eries on suspicion of being a spy, but was disch aaged on exami. nation at head-quarters. WEDNESDAY, April 11.. ' Our men were not able to get the guns from which so much is expectedinto position last night, owing pried- . poy, r belioyo, to the, tvil ; 21 4nreo f tie grows; comer quent upon the recent rains. The expectation which the outsiders entertained that "the fleet would go in" this morning at daybreak has not been realised. At daybreak I was up at Cathcart's-hill to witness the opening of our fire, and with some hope that I might see, too the first broad sides of our wooden walls. It was a thick morning, and' the view was obscured by vapours and drizzling rain, but the dark hulls and rigging of the steamers and line of battle ships were visible through the mist, and, though clouds of steam were flying from the funnel pipes, it was quite evident that the fleet were only off the port, and had no intention of taking part in the bombardment. Only one officer, Col. Nercott, of the Rifle Brigade, was up at Ott part of the front which is close to the lines of his regiment, and a few stragglers had crept out of the adjoining tents to look at the town and its long lines of battery. Through the gray light the flashes of`the guns lighted up the embrasures, and the shot cleft the air with a dub, hearse icier, and struck with a heavy throb into the earthworks. Our shells were bursting right into and over the Mamelon, which the French were also plying from their Inkerman batteries. The Round Tower now and then fired one of the three or four heavy guns which are placed in the west angle works, but the Redan and Garden Batteries were worked with vigour. On the left the whole of the outlines of the town and of the French batteries were obscured by the smoke from the guns, which hung in heavy white wreaths on the ground. The fire was very heavy, and the riflernhn in front of the batteries kept up a sharp- fusillade on the embrasures, which was sometimes audible in the lulls of the cannon ade. It was tolerably evident that the Russians bad more than recovered from their surprise, and that they had laboured to recover the ground they had lost with all their might. Their batteries were fully manned, and their fire, if not , so precise as our own, was very quick. They occasionally resorted to their old prac tice of firing off six or seven guns in a salvo—a method also adopted by the French occasionally. It is laid down, indeed, in some books of authority that salvo firing is more effective than independent firing, but I take it that the dictum can only refer to breach. ing operations, and not to those which are directed for the purpose of silencing guns. As the rain set in again soon after 6 o'clock, nothing more was to be seen, and we returned to our tents. The cannonade continued all day uninterruptedly, but irregularly, and as soon as the rain ceased and the batteries were visible I returned to Cathcart's-hill. I could not see that any marked change had been made in the profile of the enemy's works. l Several of the - embrasures in the Redan had been de stroyed, and the Round Tower works were a good deal "knocked about;" but there was no great reduction in the weight of the enemy's fire. The Allied fleet was quietly stationed to the south of the Quarantine Forts. Their presence there bad, however, the effect of drawing off a number of the Russian gunners, for the sea batteries on the north and south sides were all manned, and we could see the artillerymen and sailors inside the parapets standing by their guns. Large reserves of infantry were drawn up near the north forts, and the corps over Inkerman were under arms. The Russians were seen carrying their wounded men across too the north side in boats, and it is probable they also get the relief for the batteries in the same was, and that they keep the bulk of their magazines in the forts at the other side of the Roads. General Bizot received a very severe and dangerous wound to-day. He was struck by a rifle ball under the ear, and it tore right across his face and lodged close to his eye in the temple at the opposite side. Some . hopes are entertained that his life will be saved. No. 2 battery, left attack, suffered severely to-day from the heavy fire directed against it, and the Barrack Battery proved very troublesome, but its fire was not so mis chievous' as that of the Garden Battery. The service has to deplore the loss of Captain Luce, R.A., who lost both his legs by a round shot, and died soon after wards. He'was a promising and zealous officer. Lieu tenant Urmston, of the Queen, was wounded in one of the sailors' batteries, but is likely soon to recover. A strange and almost unexampled accident occurred in one of our batteries. A. 13-inch mortar, with a moderate charge, and not over-heated burst on being fired, and flew into two pieces, splitting up longitudinally. One of the huge masses was thrown 30 yards to the right, and another a great distance to the left, and yet, won derful to relate, though the fragments flew along the traverses and parapet, not one man was killed or wounded. We were less fortunate in the case of the Lan caster gun, which was struck by a shot and went to pieces, killing and wounding severely six"men. Several engineer officers to whom I have spoken, while express ing regret at the accident, have declared their satisfac tion at getting rid of the gun in which they placed no confidence, on account of its wild and uncertain firing. Omer Pasha visited Lord Raglan again to-day, and there was another council of war or conference, at which General Canrobert and General Bosquet were present. Lord Raglan visits the front every day, and spends sonie time examining the effects of the fire, and Sir John M`Neil, Colonel Tulloh, General- Pennefather, and Sir George Brown are frequently visible among the specta tors on the advanced mounds commanding a view of the siege operations. I have not yet seen Sir Cohn Camp bell, who is probably too much occupied by his own division at Balaklava to be able to spend much time in the front. Every one who can gets away, however, for a few hours and gazes on this extraordinary spectacle from the ridges over Sebastopol. Up to to-day the Naval Brigade has lost 40 men killed and wounded. A clever, energetic officer, Captain Crofton, R.A., was severely, but not dangerously wounded to-day by a round shot, which struck him on the lea, close to the knee. There are some slight hopes of saving his leg. Lieutenant Armit, R.E., while engaged in repairing ,an embra sure, was struck by some stones - in the legs, thrown up by a round shot, and is slightly wounded. The firing this afternoon was extremely heavy and irre gular on the part of the Russians. In the early part of the day an electric telegraph was sent up to head-quar ters to say that a body of Russians were marching from . the, heights of Mackenzie's - farm t owards Tehor g oun, hut no one seems to know what has become of them. The enemy show a considerable number of watch-fires over the Tchernaya this evening. General Bizot is in a dangerous state. We hear that the smallpox in the fleet is very much better. The French poured inces sant volleys of shells into the western part of the town after dark, and we aided them with bombs from the mortars into the enemy's batteries. THURSDAY, APRIL 12. At dawn this morning the Allied batteries and the Russians recommenced their terrible combat as usual, and it was evident the enemy had exerted themselves greatly to repair damages during the night, and that they had replaced four or five da maged guns, mended broken embrasures and injured parapets, and were, in fact, nearly as ready to meet our fire as they had been any time for the last six months. On our side four of the guns for the advanced parallel, which for the previous two nights we had failed to get into position, were at last brought down after dark, and it is expected that material results will be pro duced by their fire when they are in position. Broken platfoi MP were removed and damaged guns replaced by others. The morning was hazy, and rain fell at times, but towards the afternoon the weather cleared up again, and the heights were crowded with spectators, many of whom were Turkish officers recently arrived from Eupas toria. An English lady on horseback, who rode up to Cathcart's-hill, attracted nearly as much attention from these gentlemen as the cannonade. Our batteries throughout the day fired steadily, and if their cannonade was less imposing in appearance than when they sent forth salvoes and irregular bursts of fire and smoke, it was probably more effective. Orders were sent to all the batteries to restrict the firing to 120 rounds per gun each day. The vivacity of the sailors' batteries has been diminished by that order, but their practice is splendid, and the enemy have directed their heaviest fire on them in reply. The 13-inch mortar battery fires parsimoniously one round mortar every 30 minutes, but it requires a long time to cool the great mass of iron heated by the explosion of 121 b. or 161 b. of powder. Every one is most anxious to see the effect of the shells when they burst ; but, owing to the smoke, and to the great distance of the objects at which they are directed, it is impossible to tell where they alight or what they do unless one happens to be in the battery, and is enabled to know their flight. The English battery on the right at Inkerman has been very well served and has caused great damage to the enemy, and the Round Tower has been almost shut up ; nor did the Mamelon fire a shot for the four hours I was watching it. The portion of the town opposite the French is a heap of ruins. The inces sant shelling at night has done much mischief to the private houses. Our allies fire to-day with great energy. Their Inkerman and Tshernaya batteries are admirably served, and they have not only kept down the firing of the Mamelon, aided by Gordon's Battery, but they have also answered the batteries at the north side of the harbour, the Inkerman Cave Batteries, and have silenced for the present the Lighthouse Battery, No. 2. Our fire from Gordon's Battery and its advanced works has swept away the rifle pits, has damaged some six or seven guns in the Round Tower, and has kept und.r the fire from one face of the Redan, whilethe firefrom Chap man's Battery has been vary successful against the Redan, the Barrack Battery, the Road Battery, and the Garden Battery. The French on the left have done great mischief to the Garden Battery also, and their fire has crushedthe guns of the Flagstaff Battery (Batteriedu Mat) completely, but they suffer considerably from the Quarantine Fort and its outworks, and from the Dockyard Harbour Bat tery. We have quite destroyed the small but heavily armed and destructive battery called that of " Careening Bay," recently constructed by the Russians; but of course we have sustained considerable losses in a contest of artillery waged with a skilful and determined enemy. Our sailors- -men and guns—have suffered especially. It is reported that seven guns have been dismounted or rendered unfit for use f or th e ti me in the left attack, and four have been damaged i n the right attack. Our Bat tery No. 2 in the left attack, has been exposed to a pecu liarly heavy fire. The cannonade has never ceased all day. It is nreot so heavy on the whole as it has been for firing, newed they re_ ti days. At 4.50 the batteries rela xed newed it at 6, and the fire was very d saenvderleastitleldnightfall, when the bombardment coname22 ( •__ break.

Up to this date we have barely lost 100 men in killed and wounded, and we can see that the Russians suffer frightfully, judging by the wounded they send acr.ots to the north side. FRIDAY MORNING, 13TH. At 4 o'clock a.m. the Russians opened - a powerful and destructive on our 6.gun advanced battery, which was in a very imperfect state, and by concentrating the fire of 20 guns on it dismounted some of the pieces and irjured the works severely, so as to render the battery useless, for the day. Our working party only succeeded in getting one gun into the new battery this morning, owing to causes 1 cave already mentioned - , although they worked till it was 1 nearly dawn. Our mules were lost, 50 of them, at least, by the Land Transport Corps, returning from the trenches last night, as the officers could not find their way and the animals got loose. On every side I hear loud complaints against the ramrods of the Enfield rifles, or rather against the mode in which they are fixed in the weapon. The least rain or damp so swells the wooden stock into which the steel ramrod runs, that it is impossible to draw the latter, and it has been also said that the locks are very apt to become wood-bound, en which state of course they will not act. I have been assured by an officer who had the command of a party in the trenches on Monday morning last, that if the Russians had some upon them they could only have been met by the bayo net, inasmuch as not one ramrod could have been drawn to load the rifles in consequence of the wet having swelled the wood round the steel. General Jones is a good deal an noyed at the delay which occurred in getting the gunsinto the advanced batteries, and he was still more displeased at the neglect of an officer or officers who ought to have provided nsantlettes for the embrasures of one of those bat teries, the want of which led to our guns being rendered useless, - FRIDAY, 12 AT NooN. The Sailors' Brigade have again suffered very severely. Although they only work 35 guns in the various batte ries, they have lost more men than all our siege train working and covering parties put together, and up to half-past 3 o'clock they had 73 men killed and wounded, two officers killed, one wounded, and two or three con tused. The sailors in No. 2 Battery, Chapman's attack, silenced three of the best guns in the Redan yesterday, but the Russians replaced them during the day, and actually opened fire at 5 p.m. from the very embrasures which had been knocked to pieces. The reports of in jury done to our batteries have been greatly exagge rated. In addition to the 13-inch mortar, which was burst, and the Lancaster destroyed by a shot, there have been only four guns disabled by the enemy's fire, and one of our 9-pounders, directed against the Rifle pits, has been " dinted" by a shot. One of our 24-pounders was burst by a shot which entered right at the muzzle as the gun was being discharged. Another gun was struck by a shot in the muzzle, split up to the trunnions, the tall then sprung up into the air, and, fall ing at the breech, knocked off the button. There are only three guns firing trout the Round Tower this morn ing, but the enemy has mounted a heavy gun in the Mamelon, at which we are at present directing our fire. The Redaa is very much damaged on the right face and front already, and three of the embrasures, at least, are knocked to pieces. It is impossible to deny to the Rus sian engineers great credit for the coolness with which they set about repairing damages under fire ; but words cannot do more than justice to the exertions of our own men, and to the Engineer officers and Sappers en gaged in this most perilous duty. • When an embra sure is struck and injured it is the business of the Sappers to gc. up into the vacant space and repair the damage, removing the gabiocs, &c., under fire, and without the least cover from shot, shell, or riflemen. Our engineer officers have frequently set the example to their men in exposing themselves when not called upon to do so, and I believe, that as yet, there has not been a single instance in which a gun has been silent owing to damage done to an embrasure. The officers and men charged with this dangerous work have not waited for the cover of night to effect repairs, but have carried them on in face of the enemy. Our Allies, also, exhibit the ut most coolness and gallantry in a similar manner. Poor Jack pays the penalty of his excessive courage in the loss which he sustains. The sailors will not keep under cover. When they fire a gun they crowd about the ernbrqsures and get upon the parapets to watch the effect of the shot, and the result is that they are exposed to many more casualties than the artillerymen, who are kept under cover by their officers. Yesterday, under the very heat of the fi-e, a Russian walked through one of the em brasures of the Round Tower, cocPy descended the parapet, took a view of the profile of the work, and sauntered back again—a piece of bravado which very nearly cost him his life, as a round shot struck witnin a yard of him, and a shell burst near the embrasure a he re-entered it. Lieut. Dougl.as was buried today close to poor Twyford and young Spalding. The Rev. Mr. Freeman read the funeral service over Lis remains. It will scarcely be credited that for nearly eight months the Naval Brigade, mustering 1.200 men, has been left without any chaplain, and the officer's have to " borrow a chaplain," or do without one, whenever a comrade's remains are to be interred. Two divisions of Turkish infantry have just marched from Kamiesh, past the head-quarters camp, towards Balaklava. They mustered about 15,000 men, and finer young fellows than some of the soldiers of the crack regiments I never saw. Very few of the privates wore decorations or medals, but many of the officers had them, and had evidently seen service against the Muscovite., They had had a long march, and their sandal shoon afforded sorry protection against the stony ground ; and yet it was astonishing that so few men fell out of the ranks or straggled behind. One regiment had a good brass band, which almost alarmed the bystanders by striking up a quick step (waltz) as they marched past, and playing it in very excellent style, but the majority of the regiments were preceded by mu sicians with drums,' fifes, and semicircular thin brass tubes, with wide mouths, such as those which may have tumbled the walls of Jericho, or are seen on the sculp tured monuments of primaeval kings. The colonel and his two majors rode at the head of each regiment richly dressed, on small but spirited horses, covered with rich saddle-cloths, and followed by pipebearers and ser vants. The mules, with the tents, marched on the right ; the artillery marched on the left. The two batteries I saw consisted each of four 2 , 11 b. brass howitzers and two 91b. brass field-pieces, and the carriages and horses were in a very serviceable state. Each gun was drawn by six horses. The ammunition boxes were rather coarse and heavy. The baggage ani mals of the division marched in the rear, and the regi ments marched in columns of companies three deep, each company on an average with a front of 20 rank and file. One of the regiments had Minie rifles of English make, the majority, however, were only armed with flint fire locks, but they were clean and bright. Theyall displayed rich standards, blazing with cloth of gold, and many coloured flags with the crescent and star embroidered on them. All the men carried their blankets, squares of carpet for prayer or sitting upon, cooking utensils, and their packs were of various sizes and substances. As they marched along in the sunlight over the undulating gro.ind, they presented a very picturesque and warlike spectacle, the stern reality of which was enhanced by the thunder of the guns at Sebastopol, and the smoke from shells bursting high in the air. On ascending the range of hills towards Balaklava, they must have been seen by the Russian army over the Tchernaya, and by the Cos sacks on Canrobert's-hill. The Zouaves, who were for merly encamped near the artillery and cavalry at Kadee kovka (which is erroneously called in our maps, &c., Kadikoi), have been moved to the left, and replaced by Turks. The heavy field battery which bas just arrived from England is packed at Karany, but I believe Sir Colin Campbell objects to parting with the guns, which are, he considers, required at present for the defence of Balaklava. Every night the plain is s we pt by a s t rong picket of our cavalry, under the command of a field officer, a captain, and two subalterns, but as yet they have met no marauding Cossacks, though they have gone right up to Canrobert's-hill and past the lines of ;he redoubts. A letter from an officer of the French army be fore Sebastopol ; it is dated the 10th " God protect France ! The great duel between civili sation and barbarism has commenced. By the time this letter reaches you the decisive blow will have been struck. The weather was frightful yesterday. The wind blew from the South with extreme violence, accompanied by pelting rain, but we were ready. It was the date an nounced beforehand for the opening of the fire. At day break 500 guns opened at the same time, and mingled their thunders with the din of the tempest. Our fathers have seen on the battle-fields of the empire some hundreds of cannon thunder for some hours; but these pieces did not equal ours in calibre. To the soldiers of the Crimea only it is given to see in line 1,200 guns, and to hear their tremendous bellowing night and day. Yesterday the wind drove tha rain on our backs ; the Russians had it full in their face. The fire, commenced at dawn,swtaes kept up with the greatest energy. For some hours enemy replied viorously. At 8 o'clock our superiority emon was evident ; in the afternoon we commanded th at all. During the night of the 9th the y the whole line, and towards evening they s carc it ely a r n e d p hcelmed with works of the Russians were literally . ies and dressing sians, occupied in repairing their . l t i b ed e shell and shot.

Another letter of the same date, written at 2 p.m., says " The bombardment continues with more vi gout than ever. It is probable, after the results all- eady ob tained, that this last will be decisive. The I Vlalakhoff Tower, and the fortified height of the Mamelos, have not replied with the energy expected from them. The resistance of the Russians has been weak on this side. These symptoms of apparent feebleness have occasioned a degree of mistrust in the attack. You are aware that the Russians were in the habit of firing ten shots for our one. The position of the Malakhoff Tower being the mos menacing for the Allied army we can scarcely compre hend the weakness with which it was defended. It is thought that the approaches to that position are mined, and this causes us to be prudentin the attack. Itisalmost certain that the assault on the tower will not be immediately made, but that all our efforts will be directed against the Flagstaff Bastion, as they have been for some hours. By taking that position we should have the chance of taking by assau lt the first enceinte, behind which wo should have shelter from the fire of the .711alaklioff Tower, which would tho.'t be completely i i. s ec o t la e td.

Our Generals have the greatest confidence in the bayonet charges of our soldiers—and these are what will decide the taking of Sebastopol." A third letter, dated the 10th, at a later hour in the evening, says : " Tse principal effort cf the bombardment is made on the right, for it is necessary that we should carry the position of the 111a,inelon, and the works of the Malakhoff Tower or of the Flagstaff Bastion. After half an hour' s fi r i ng on both sides, three Russian batteries have been completely silenced. The night is coming on, and the fire still continues. I give up all idea of attempting to describe to you the spec. tacle presented to our eyes. The city is on fire in several parts, and I cannot better compare these pro jectiles which cross each other in the air, and describe thousands of curves within each other, than to the spouts of flame from some gigantic firework. At daybreak the fire will be still more energetic if possible. At 4 p.m. the fire slackened in order to ascertain the results. It appears from the official reports of the Engineers that two large breaches have been effected in the crenel lated wall of the town. The advanced works of the Malakhoff Tower h a ve b de have been utterly dismantl e d i n sp i te of the batteriesh fend it, and of which nine guns have been dismounted: The tower itself is in a very bad condition. These results being ascertained, the fire recommences with vigour, and continues to the moment at which I close this letter. I hope that my next epistle will be dated from Sebastopol itself." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Mails for her Majesty's land forces in Greece, Turkey, and the Crimea, the fleet and vessels engaged in the transport service in the Black Sea, and the medical star and sick and wounded in the hospitals at Scutari and. Smyrna, will be despatched to-morrow evening via Mar seilles. Letters, &c., must be prepaid. The paddlewheel steam-ship Hecla, 6, Commander H. S. Hawker, from Gibraltar, which arrived in Ply. mouth Sound on Tuesday morning, went into Mumma in the afternoon, to have defects made good. The steam-sloop Hecate, 6, Commander H. C. Glyn, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, bound for the coast of Africa. The sailing transport Kent, Captain Vincent V. Howes, embarked 24 men and 52 horses, 11th Hussars, at Devonport on Tuesday, and sailed the same afternoon for the Crimea. We learn by electric telegraph from Plymouth, that the screw steamer Earl of Durham, Captain E. Thomas, from the Crimea, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon. She left Balakiava, March 25 ; Constanti nople, 30th • Ma.lta, 4th ; and Gibraltar, 18th ; and spoke, on the 20th, 100 m il es , eas t o f ape St. Vin cent, the transport Bride, No. 27, from Malta for Lon don. The screw steam-ship Victoria, bound for Ply mouth, was coaling at Gibraltar. The Earl of Durham is chartered by the North of Europe Company for the railway expedition, and two of her consorts are hourly expected at Plymouth—viz., the Hesperus, which left Gibraltar on the 12th inst., and the Samuel Long, which was coaling there on the 18th. The barque Meteor, from Hull, with passengers for Quebec, was off Ply mouth, all well, on Tuesday. The Russell, 60, screw block-ship, Captain F. Scott, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning and joined the fleet. The Arthur the Great transport will embark her troops and sail for the Cape of Good Hope this day. The Carysfort, 26-gun frigate , which has been at Sconce Point for some time as a berthing hulk for the artificers employed upon the new works of defence there, has re turned to Portsmouth harbour. The Malacca, 17, Captain Farquhar, remains in No. 2 Dock, refitting. The Sampson and Polyphemus steam-vessels are refit ting in No. 3 and 4 Docks. The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord George Pa.ulet, is still returning stores alengside the dockyard. The Aolus shell magazine is all atannt in the fitting baEin and taking in ballast, &c., prior to being reported for service. The Lancashire Witch transport is expected at Portsmouth to-day to embark cavalry for the East, consisting of two officers, 66 men, and 130 horses, of the Ist Dragoons, and 3 men and 6 horses of the 6th Dragoons. The ships Onward and Lady Russell were towed out of Kingstown harbour on Tuesday. The wind, however, not being favourable for the passage down Channel, both vessels came to anchor outside. The Zebra has not yet completed her stores, nor finished taking in her cargo. She will carry out 400 tons of peat charcoal, to be ap plied to sanitary purposes in the Crimean camp. The following appointments have been made : Commander—Walter Reid, to the Sanspareil. Lieutenant—Herbert W. Wilberforce, from the Tra falgar to the Hastings. Assistant-Surgeons—David Conrtenay has been con firmed to the Driter ; Benjamin Crabbe has been con firmed to the Miranda. Acting Assistant-Surgeon—John Lomax-, to the Ho ratio. Naval Cadets—F. D. Foster, to the Pembroke ; W. G. R. Gipps, to the Retribution. Midshipman:-.The Hon. B. Vivian, to the Duke of Wellington flagship, as supernumerary for disposal. The Household Brigade on actual service in the Crimea, consisting of the 3d battalion of the Grenadiers, the Ist battalion of the Coldstreams, and the Ist bat talion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, is, it is stated, to be. augmented by a battalion of ten companies of 100 men each. The Ist battalion of the Grenadiers, quartered in the Tower, it is believed will be that selected, the defi ciency in its numerical strength to be made up by volun teers from the 2d battalion of Grenadiers, the 2d batta lion of Coldstreams, the 2d battalion of Scots Fusiliers, and from regiments of the line and militia. The four battalions quartered in the metropolis can now muster upwards of 1,600 disciplined men, in addition to nearly 400 recruits at drill. The 96thl Regiment, of Foot, quartered at Chichester, which recently arrived from Bengal, will, as soon as augmented, relieve the 94th. Regiment at Windsor, which corps will proceed to the seat of war. The 96th Foot is now scarcely 300 strong, a large number having volunteered for other regiments serving in India previous to the regiment embarking for Europe. The 51st King's Own Light Infantry is to be completed to 1,200 strong, for immediate service in the Crimea. The 3d Regiment of Light Dragoons, which was ac tively engaged in the Affghanistan campaign, and now quartered in Manchester, the 7th Hussars, which regie ment returned from Canada in 1843, quartered at pre sent in York, and the 16th Royal Lancers, the heroes of Affghanistan and the Punjab, stationed in Cahir (Ire land), are each ordered to be increased to 10 troops of 80 men each, exclusive of farriers and trumpeters, and to be held in readiness to proceed on foreign service. Captain Lord Walter Butler, who is at present in Lon don, has received a month's extension of his leave of ab sence, in consequence of ill health. A large draught of the 2d Queen's Royal Regiment, consisting of six officers and 192 men, left Waterford on Monday for Cork, whence they will embark to join the service companies at the Cape of Good Hope. THE MILITIA. Arms have now been received from Government suf ficient for the Kilkenny Fusiliers when raised to their full complement of 719 men, a period which must be deemed rather remote if the men continue to volunteer into the line as fast as they have done hitherto. The North Down Rifles, whose head-quarters is New townards, now number 650 men, in 8 companies. The Hampshire Artillery Militia, lately doing duty at Woolwich under the command of Lieut.-Col. Burnaby, left the garrison at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, and pros:3BolW . to Portsmouth to do duty at Sou thsea Castle until fur ther orders. ___ ----_— Powssircr. Messrs. rue ru urr ' d solo , Tire WAR s.
