This alteration is believed to be attributable to a secret understanding with Austria, which lias given Rus sia more confidence in contending with the We:tern Powers, and in the possible success of her constant in trigues to break up their alliance. The recent announce• went from Russia that the Synod had addressed the Em peror in favour of peace is said to have been merely a stratagem to cover the more aggressive views which had just then received a new stimulus from the covert intima tion of active sympathy from Austria and Prussia, that sympathy being, it is alleged, in course of exercise at this moment by the transmission through German terri tory of large supplies of materials contraband of war.

STAMPED sr. s at the eleventh hour, permitted to assign this place of honour to the 34th—a regiment which, whether justly or not, enjoys only a moderate reputation amongst the others now in camp. Later still in the evening preceding the assault, Sir Goorge discovered that the major commanding the '23 , 1 was still laid up with a wound received in the at tack on the Quarries, and that the senior captain—an officer, by the way, of some 18 years' service—would have charge of the corps during the storming. " Impossible ; this will never do," said the friend of apoplectic neck fur niture, " another regiment, with a field-officer in com mand, must be substituted." A message to this effect was telegraphed to bead-quarters, but Lord Raglan, with a degree of common sense which was quite unmilitary, overruled his second's objection, and replied that an officer of Captain 's length of service, be his rank what it might, should be quite as fit to lead his regiment into ac tion as any field officer in the service, and, accord ingly, that no substitution should be made. I merely . mention these trifles to show the state of un certainty and confusion in which our preparations were till almost within an hour before the assaulting force marched down towards the scene of its struggle and defeat. Then another deviation from the original plan of attack was made, also at the eleventh hour, by General Pelissier, to which both military sense and common sense agree in attributing no small share of both the French and our own failure. Though the bombardment had been kept up vigo rously the whole of Sunday, night necessarily compelled a slackening of the allied fire, and during this respite there was reason to expect that the Russians would employ them selves in making good the injuries done to their batteries during the day. It was therefore arranged that at day break on Monday a terrific fire of shot and shell should be poured into the Redan and Malakhoff, to render as many of their guns as possible incapable of mischief. An hour or so, however, before the combined forces marched from the camp the French Commander-in-Chief rode over to our own head-quarters and declared that he could not wait for this preliminary assault of artillery, as he would have so many men in his trenches beforo the Malakhoff that there would be no cover for them ; and, consequently, they (and we) must attack at daybreak, at all hazards, and take the chance of findiug' the enemy's guns in the most favourable...condition in which our bombard ment and their owners' subsequent idleness might .have left them. Of course Lord Raglan • complied, though forty-nine out of fifty of the subalterns in his carer) would have foretold the consequences to be expected ; and, ac cordingly, soon after the first streaks of sunlight broke over the horizon the doomed thousands rushed to defeat and death. _ _ So little is ever known of the details of French opera tions here, that I can give you few particulars of their i attack on the Alalakhoff ; but their plan of assault appears to have consisted in as the work on both flecks tied the front simultaneously, and with overwhelming numbers —twenty-five thousand aro said to have been se,tually en gaged. In just retribution for the disregard of their gene ral to the good to be expected from a short morning's bom bardment, they found the redoubt swarming with defen dos s, and guns bristling from every embrasure. On them, as on our own men, showers of grapeand canister were poured out, literally mowing down whole battalions at a time ; whilst from along the whole semicircular line of parapet the crowding riflemen sent volley after volley into their disordered ranks, that passed through them like a sheet of molten lead. Three times they gave way, and as often rallied ; but were finally driven back after a struggle of some three hours and a half, leaving the space between the Mamelon and Malakhoff literally covered with the dead and dying. With oir own men, the space to be passed over from our most advanced trenches to the Redan was somewhere about seven hundred yards, and from the first moment of their rushing over the parapet towards the point of attack, they were met by the same awful and annihilating storm of canister and grape. Many fell within the first dozen of yards, and thence on to some broken ground about mid way, in which the remainder sought cover, the field was strewed with the slain and wounded. An officer present in the affair, and who was one of the few who escaped un injured, described the fire to me as being perfectly awful —much more severe, he assured me, than that which greeted our men at Alma, where he also fought, and re ceived a wound. Few of the men ever reached the abattis in front of the work—none, I believe, ever even saw the deep ditch which protects its approaches. I have already mentioned the confusioa which characterised the first commencement of our movement ; and coupling this with the murderous preparations made by the enemy, you will be at no loss to understand that success was most impro bable. I shall presently mention what the Russians thought of our generalship, as repeated in my own hearing by one of themselves. During the whole affair Lord Raglan and Sir George Brown were ensconced within our 8-gun battery ; but though this affos ded a good view of the scene of the struggle and of the disorder which marked it, for some reasons unknown to uninitiated spectators they appeared unable to give any efficient directions for the correction of our multiplied blunders. When the whole sad scene was ended, our men struggled back by every safe avenue to the camp, in a state of dispirited cm fusion, well in keeping with the mob-like disorder in which they had been throughout the assault. About midnight of Monday I was roused up by the sound of a terrific cannonade, and sustained musketry fire, along the whole front from our left to the French right, and on hastening out to the height in advance of the Vic toria Redoubt heard and witnessed what induced me to believe that a night attack had been made by ourselves and the French to retrieve the fortune of the day. From the Malakhoff to the extreme left of the Redan—a space or abuiat, u ...lie —ahem ...loans or name burst along the line from the sustained discharges of some two hundred cannon, whilst musketry filled up the short intervals from both our own and the enemy's ground. The night was pitch dark, and as the storm of shells whistled through the air, nothing could be grander than the fiery parabolas of these terrible messengers, from battery to redoubt, and from redoubt back again to battery. I have neither time nor power to describe the magnificent but awful pyrotech nic scene. A badly aimed shell from the Malakhoff passed tigh over the Mamelon, and fell some sixty yards from where I stood ; but thou this was safe enough, I deemed it best to shift my ground, and so reared. A loud three times three" rote upon the midnight air from the direction of the Redan ; and as one can never be mistaken in this peculiar vocal product of British lungs, I jumped to the pleasant conclusion that the day's stain had been wiped away, and that the Redan was our own. I was, however, mistaken, and the explanatton of the whole affair was this during the night, the French, endeavour ing to take advantage of the darkness, had crept out frim the Mamelon, to recover a number of scaling ladders which they had been compelled to abandon daring the at tack. The Russians perceived them, and opened a smart fire of grape from the guns of the Malakhoff, which was replied to by shell from the Mamelon, Almost simulta neously, a party of the enemy emerged from the Redan, in expectation of what they deemed a similar attack to that attempted by the French, and being perceived by our men a volley of musketry was poured into them, and chase given with the bayonet. After a short stand the Russians turned and fled, and it was at this juncture that the hur rahs I have mentioned wore sent after them. After this the cannonade was kept up for some time from both lines, in the manner I have remarked. Next morning thore was hardly a gun fired on either side ; and about 12 o'clock we hoisted a flag to request the necessary truce for the burial of our dead. _ TCHORGOUN, JUNE 21. their fascines, ladders, and hay bags, and therreturnecr only 12 in number.

CAMP BEFORE SEBA.STOPOL, JUNE 20. They say we are preparing again for another attempt ; but that cannot be until we receive more powder from Malta, unless we drain ourselves of the little we h ave . Shot and shell we have in abundance. Scarcely a shot can be heard during the day. For two nights past can nonading and musketry have been very brisk. Yester day a flag of trace was hoisted, but it was some time be fore the enemy answered it; but at last it was hoisted for the burial of the dead, from four till seven p.m. The heat of the weather had caused some awful sights in the dead and the mangled limbs of the poor fellows. Our loss is great—no less than 17 officers, I hear. Colonel Yea, I understand, the enemy had completely stripped. The whole of the troops are still stationed on the heights. The Guards are still encamped on the ground in rear of the Third Division. The French Imperial Guard are likewise bivou asked on the right,as before the assault,frOm which circum stance we anticipate that another trial will begiven. A Rus sian mechanic from the town came over this morning, and tells us that the firing, at the time of the assault, and during the day previous, killed and wounded about half the gar rison. A scarcity of water is beginning to be felt,on the heights, more especially near the regiments, from the over crowded state of so small a piece of ground. The wounded of both French and English are being sent on board ship as rapidly as posSible. ' The wounded suffer greatly this weather. The Simla, screw-steamer, has made a very rapid passage, having left Southamptun on the 3d instant, and arrived here on the 18th early, with lt.jillcers, 250 men, and 290 horses of the Royal Horse Ar=,ry. The Cormorant has also arrived with 6 officers, 53 men, and 59 ho.ses of the 17th Lancers. _ _ _ Cholera cases in the Gaaras are of less frequency since their removal up to the front. In the Royal Artillery, five and six daily is about the average. I can hear no news as to when the place will be attempted again. JUNE 22. Everything still remains very quiet. Another trial will be made on the town from this side. Every exertion is now being made in the transport of shot, shell, and powder, immense quantities of which have been transported up these last few days by rail. Some fresh arrivals have come into harbour, which puts plenty at our disposil. No tiring scarcely takes place during the day. At night, as usual, when works are in progress, the tisual quantity of shells are to be seen flying iu the air from both sides. We have commenced a now battery in the new ground obtained the other night near the Cemetery, close to the Dockyard Creek, which it will command ; but the enemy have per ceived our intentions, and have traced, and last night commenced, another strong work to enfilade it. But it has not stopped our progress, so that, in course of time, we may expect to hear nightly attacks being made on this new piece of work by us. for it will be impossible to hold the present ground, or battery, if they are allowed to erect this battery, without its being taken or destroyed. The other night the enemy set the houses on fire in that neigh bourhood, which burnt fiercely, for the purposes, it is sup posed, of giving them a better opportunity to resist us, and to deprive us of any shelter. The French are throw ing up, close to Careening Bay and on the flank of the Mamelon, a very large battery, which will, when com pleted, be mounted with the heaviest guns and mortars. But they are so exposed to the enemy's fire that the works cannot progress with that rapidity one would like to see ; but the French seem determined to master all obstacles to obtain their end, which is said to be of extreme utility, for this battery will command the shipping (in conjunc tion with the one now making in the Cemetery) ; it rakes the Careening Bay, and also the main harbour, down to Fort Constantine, so that if the Allies can but secure these two batteries in operation, we may yet have good hopes. But even if we continue as we now are, in a very short time the enemy will have destroyed both town and shipping. Another three weeks must elapse ere any thing can be dono or attempted. General Estcourt has had an attack of cholera, and Lord Burghersh has been very severely indisposed. Cholera is on the decline. The First Division will remain to do duty in front for a time. JuNa 23.

After witnessing the brave, bat fruitless assault upon the Malakhoff and Redan on the morning of the 18th, at day break, I rejoined the Turks on the plateau above the vil lage of Upon, on the other side of the 'Tchernaya, iu a north-easterly direction from Balaklava. They had quitted their position close to Lord Raglan's head-quarters early on the 17th, with—so ran the tale—the full intention of making a final movement in advance in concert with the Piedmontese and two divisions of the French. They took no tents with them, except some half dozen for the use of the pachas and other dignitaries. Everybody under that rank was obliged to content himself with such covering as could be afforded by the "arch of heaven," end, in fact, but for the rather heavy dew of the nights, no one could desire better. Upoo was occupied, a few shots were exchanged with some hundred Greek volunteers and Donski Cossacks —the only Russian troops to be seen, and the night of the 17th was passed on the plateau above the village. In the afternoon of the following day, Omer Pasha received the news of the failure of the attacks on the Malakhoff and the Redan, and the same evening retired two miles, and took up his position on another plateau above Koutchka. This retrograde movement was said to be caused partly by the check received by the allies, anti partly by some vague fears of being " cut off," though what they were founded on I could never clearly ascertain. There were certainly no Russians in the vicinity beyond the Greek volunteers, and the army might have marched right to Bakshi-Serai without hindrance. The plain above Koutchka was covered with brush wood, and in default of tents the soldiers cut off leafy branches, and in a few hours had constructed a whole town of summer-houses, which formed an admirable protec tion from the burning heat of the sun, as well as from the night. In this sort of work the Turkish soldiers display no small amount of skill and ingenuity. The bowers of this sort which they constructed for the pachas might grace any English garden. Valley of Baidar, 12 miles south-east of Balaklava, June 22.—The movement of the troops commenced about 1 o'clock this morning ; by 5 the last battalion had descended from the heights above Koutchka, and was wending its way along the Woronzoff road towards Baidar. This, though not exactly " advancing backward," is something rather like it. It is certainly a step towards fighting, as there are Russian troops in this quarter, but it is not a step towards anything decisive as the general objects of the war. No movement that is not directed against Situ pheropol can very seriously affect the Russians. We do not expect to move to-morrow, but for the day after I cannot answer. Our outposts are on near Baidar. The Piedmoutese, who crossed the Tcheraaya at the same time as Omer Pacha, and were likewise encamped near Tchorgoun, were also to have marched to-day, but, as yet, we have seen nothing of them. They are still suffering 1 from cholera. There is some talk of Bosquet's divi sion acting in conjunction with the Turks. (Front the Report of the Registrar-General.) in the week that ended last Saturday the deaths of 1,273 persons, of whom 669 were males and 604 females, were re g istered in London. The return shows an increase on that of the previous week, when the number was 1,075. This result is not caused by an increased mor tality, but by an influx into the registers (which is usual at the end of a quarter) of cases returned by coroners, which have accumulated during previous weeks. In the table of causes of death these cases are chiefly found under the several heads that compose the class of deaths by "violence." This class comprises 158 deaths. in the present return, against 53 in the preceding week. In the corresponding weeks of the ten previous years the average number of deaths was 1,023, and with the same rate of mortality which then prevailed, in the popu lation as now existing, the number would be 1,125. The excess of the present return above the corrected average is 148 ; and the comparison is admissible, because the corresponding weeks having occurred at or near the end of a quarter, they were subject for the most part to the same irregularity which has been mentioned above. Last week the deaths from zymotic diseases were 212, whilst the corrected average is 249. Of that number 24 were caused by small-pox, 39 by scarlatina, 36 by hoop ing•cough, 43 by typhus, and only 9by measles. The only disease in this class which manifests any tendency to ineeOase is diarrhoea, and the numbers from it aro still inconsiderable. Iu the last four weeks diarrhoea was fatal in 16, 17, 25, and 33 cases. Last week the births of 879 boys and 853 girls, in all 1,732 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,484. The reading of the ',ammeter at the Royal Observa- tory, Greenwich, rose to 30.25 in. by the morning of Wednesday, which was the highest reading in the week. The mean reading was above 30 in. on every day till Friday, and the mean of the week was 30'048 in. The mean temperature of the week was 63 deg., which is 1 . 8 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean temperature was above the average on every day after Monday ; and on Wednesday when it was 66'8 deg. it was 5.6 deg. above the average. On that day the highest temperature of the week occurred, and was 80'5 deg. ; the lowest occurred on Monday, and was 471 deg. The highest reading of a thermometer in the sun was 105 deg. on Saturday. The mean dew point temperature of the week was 621 deg., and the differ once between this and the mean temperature of the air was 10 . 1 deg. The temperature of the water of the Thames was 62'4 deg. No rain fell in the week. 1 (From the Special Correspondent of the Morning Herald. ) BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 19, 2 F• 3l * In the hope that this hastily-penned letter will resell you in time, I have ridden down to Kamiesch, the Fronch station, with it, tho post from that port leaving some hours after the ono from Balaklava, at which I posted inY pre ceding letter early this morning.

(From the Specal Correspondent of the Times.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 20. It is but natural that the attack of the allies on the ;principal points of the Russian defences should now be scrutinised in all its details, and, as it has failed, that the plan of that attack should be severely criticised and un sparingly censured. It is certainly true that, in some re- Teets, these details Were imperfect. As an example of :,his imperfection, it is stated that the supports were too ' distant from the attacking parties; that proper care was tot taken to prevent the men becoming confused and losing their way in the labyrinth of works before the Redan ; that no steps were formed above the berm of the parapet, so that the men could step over in order ; that the attack ing parties were too weak, and that the mon were crowded into narrow works and trenches which could not afford them cover, and were difficult of access and exit. It is, moreover, affirmed that no proper instructions were given to the artillery for their guidance in the event of success or defeat, and that it was only when the Russians had crowded over their parapets and through their embrasures, and had been shooting down our men for some time on their retreat, that an artillery officer obtained permission From Lord Raglan to open fire upon their lines ; that no directions were addressed even to the ambulance corps with respect to locality or action, and that many minor points of some importance were also neglected ; but the gravest (bares) of all is that the success of the assault was compromised by the facility with which Lord Raglan yielded to General Pelissier's request, and late on the even ing of the 17th altered the arrangements for the following morning. As to the propriety of General Pelissier's views in making that request there is scarcely a difference of opinion in this army. If tiro Russians were indeed about to assault the Hamden before dawn he would have been prepared for them With overwhelming num- ' bers, could have decimated them as they retreated with his artillery, and could have immediately attacked a position held by a beaten and dispirited enemy. If ,they were not prepared to attack the Mamelon, but .were prepared to resist us, the original' plan of bombarding them for three hours before we attacked could not have failed to drive them from tier works under cover, and to slay great numbers of them. that plan was perfectly successful in the attack on the Mamelon, which was easily taken after a fierce cannonade in the open day, which drove the enemy out of the works. Although we had silenced many guns in the Redan, we had not silenced all, nor had we touched the ships' batteries ; and Prince Gortschalsoff tells as daily, and as we find truly, " The damage does to us by day we repair at night." We never searched out the strength of the Redan on that morning, and the Russians alight have—for all we know and know, replaced every in jured gun, and have had the battery in as good order as when we opened fire. We were certain of success. Sir George Brown, inflated by the bloodless conquest of Kertch and Yenikale, directed the operations as if the garrison of Sebastopol were a body of serf-militia. A private memo randum was sent round the night before the attack to officers commanding regiments, &c., to request them to keep their men in order, and to make them observe silence " when they got inside the Redan till the enemy were en tirely subdued." It does not appear why there was no attack on the Russian works on our left. Ode would cer tainly have thought that even a feint by the French against the Flagstaff Batteries would have been attended with ad vantage. However, these are points beyond my province, and I shall stop here, with the assurance that I am ex pressing the opinions of others, and am not hazarding any one statement of any own on a subject of such vast im portance to forget that 'memorable morning as it is hopeless to attempt to describe what occurred. In my former letter, written hastily and under the de pression of our ill success, I could not do more than give a very meagre sketch of what took place, and I am not now able to amend my defects. It will be remembered that the plan of attack originally proposed was that the allies were to open a cannonade for three hours on the Malakhoff and Redan after dawn on the morning of the 18th ; that the French were to assault the Malakhoff, and that when they had gained possession of it wo were to attack the Re dan. As the latter work is commanded by the former, it would not be possible to carry or t o h o ld i t t ill the Mala khoff was taken. Soon after 12 o'clock the attacking party moved down from camp and took ground is the trenches under the direction of Major Halliwell, the Deputy-As sistant Quartermaster-General of the Division. The Se cond Division was on their left, the Fourth Division on the left of the Second Division, and the Third Division on the extreme left. The movement was simultaneous, and the troops moved off together till they came into the trenches, from which they were to issue forth to attack the dark wall of earth serrated with embrasures before them. These embrasures were only too well filled. Tho fire which we opened on Sunday morning preliminary to the assault was marked by great energy, weight, and destruc tiveness. In the first relief the Quarry Battery, com manded by Major Strange, threw no less than 300 8-inch shells into the Roden, which is only 400 yards distant, and the place must here been nearly cleared by the incessant storm of iron splinters which flew through it. So near are the works that fragments of our 13-inch shells fly back front the Redan into the Quarry Battery, and on some oc casions our men have been injured by the splinters of their own shells, which have radiated from the inside of the Russian batteries. Throughout Sunday our artillery fired 12,000 rounds of the heaviest ordnance into the enemy's lines, and on the following day we fired 11,945 rounds of shot and shell. The Russian fire was weak and wild. Al though they fired a good deal, they kept many pieces masked, and one six-gun and one eight-gun battery on the flanks of the Redan were silent, and were left compara tively unnoticed by our artillerymen. The only damage they did by all their fire throughout the whole of Sunday was the demolition of the wheel of a gun carriage. Had the three hours' cannonade and bombardment which Lord Raglan decided on administering to the Russian batteries before we assaulted been delivered to them, it is very pro bable that we should have found but a small body of troops prepared to receive us at the parapets 7 • and it must be esteemed a very unfortunate circumstance that his lord ship was induced to abandon his intention in deference to the wishes of General Pelissier. General Pelissier, in re questing the English General to change the original plan of attac and to forestall the hour which was at first agreed upon, is not stated to have assigned any specific reason for the alteration, but it is reported that he wished to anticipate the enemy, who were about, as ho was in formed, to make an assault on the Mamelon. Ho felt, ton, that the masses of French whom he had prepared coule not be concealed from the Russians for any length of time, and that they would soon be revealed by the noise which always attends the movements of large bodies of men. It would, indeed, have been impossible conceal the fact of the accumulation of so many battalions close to the Male khoff, and their presence would have been indicated cer tainly as soon as dawn, and probably earlier. The Russian column which is said to have issued from llalakhoff just before our assault, to attack the Mamelon, was certainly so small that it was, according to some, merely intended as a feint to draw out the French and lead them to the assault, for which the enemy were only too well prepared. As the 34th Regiment advanced, the supports, by some means or another, got mixed together with them, and some confusion arose in conse q u ence . On crossing the trench 'our men, instead of coming upon the open in a firm body, were broken into twos and threes. This arose from the want of a temporary step above the berm, which would have enabled the troops to cross the parapet with regu larity; instead of which they had to s cramble over it as well as they could ; and, as the top of the trench is of un equal height and form, their line was quite broken. The moment they came out from the trench the enemy began to direct on their whole front a deliberate and well-aimed ntitraille, which increased the want of order and unsteadi ness caused by the mode of their advance. Poor Colonel Yea saw the consequences too clearly. Having in vain tried to obviate the evil caused by the broken formation and confusion of his men, who were falling fast around him, he exclaimed, " This will never do ! Where's the bugler to call them back ?" But alas ! at that critical moment no bugler was to be found. The gallant old sol dier, by voice and gesture, tried to form and compose his men, but the thunder of the enemy's guns close at hand and the gloom of the early dawn frustrated his efforts ; and as he rushed along the troubled mass of troops which were herding together under the rush of grape, and en deavoured to get them into order for a rush at the bat teries, which was better than standing still, or retreating in a panic, a charge of the deadly missile passed, and the noble old soldier fell in advance of his men, struck at once in head and stomach by grape shot.' The division has lost upwards of 320 men killed and wounded, and it suffered severely as it retired from the futile attack. The signal for our assault was to be given by the discharge of two service rockets, which were to have been fired when the French got into the Malakhoff, and the latter were to havehoisted a flag as a signal of their success. It is certain that the French did for a short time esta blish themselves in the Malakhoff, but they were soon ex pelled with loss, and I saw with my own eyes a large tri angular blue and black flag waving from the Malakhoff all during the fight. Th e momen t th e roc k e t s were fi re d th e Light Division rushed out of cover ; in a quarter of an hour this infantry Balaklava was over, so far as any chance of success was concerned. The Second Division, seeing that the flank attacks failed, wisely kept under cover, and suffered but a trifling loss. Had they foolishly advanced, we should have to deplore greater and more useless slaughter. The 41st, under Lieutenant-Colonel Eman, were to form the assaulting party. Captain Mauleverer, of the 30th Regiment, commanded the working party. The 2d Battalion Royals was to follow the 41st, and with the 55th was to form a supporting party, while the 49th and 47th were in reserve, and the 62d were to fnrnish men for car rying woolpacks and ladders. They were marched off and took ground, guided by Captain Layard, and were formed in the old advanced parallel, next to the Quarry, and re mained there till the attack failed. The Fourth Division were guided clown by their active Quartermaster-General Colonel Wyndham, and took ground in the trench to the left, but it would seem as if they attacked a little too near the apex of the Redan- Poor Sir John Campbell seems to have displayed a courage amounting to rashness. He sent away Captain Hume and Captain Snodgrass, his aide-do camp, just before he rushed out of the trench, as if averse to bring them into the danger ho meditated, and fell in the act of cheering on his men. I have in my former letter stated the losses of the Fourth Division, and the part they took in the fight, dreadful and useless as it was. The 57th, out of 400 men, had more than a third killed and wounded, and it became evident that the contest on the left was as hopeless as the fight on the right, and in fifteen minutes all was over. The brigade under Major-General Eyre, which was des tined to occupy the Cemetery, and to carry the Barrack Batteries, consisted of the 9th Regiment, 18th Regiment, 28th Regiment, 38th Regiment, and 44th Regiment. Four volunteers were selected from each company to form an advanced party, under Major Fielden, of the 44th Regi ment, to feel the way and cover the advance. The 18th Royal Irish followed as the storming regiment. The bri gade was turned out at 12 o'clock, and proceeded to march down the road on the left of the Greenhill battery to the Cemetery, and halted under cover while the necessary dis positions were being made for the attack. General Eyre, addressing the 18th, said, "I hone, my men, this morning sou will do something that will make every cabin in Ireland sing again'!" The reply was a loud cheer, which instantly drew on the men a shower of grape. The skir mishers advanced just as the general attack began, and, with some French on their left, rushed at the Cemetery, which was very feebly defended, They got pomenion of the place after a slight resistance, with small loss, and took some prisoners, but the moment the -enemy retreated their batteries cpened a heavy fire on the place from the left of the Roden and from the Barrack Battery. Four companies of the 18th at once rushed on out of the Cemetery towards the town, and actually succeeded in getting possession of the suburb. Captain Hayman .vas gallantly leading on his company when he was shot thr6ugh the knee. Capt. Esnionde followed, and the men, once established,'prepared to defend the houses they occupied. As they drove the Russians out, they were pelted with large stones by the latter on their way up to the battery, :Isiah quite over hangs the suburb. The Russians could not depress their guns sufficiently to fire down on our men; but they directed a severe flanking, fire on them from an angle,of the Redan works. There was nothing for it but to keep up a vigo rous fire from the houses, and to delude the enemy into the belief that the occupiers were more numerous than they were. Meantime the Russians did their utmost to blow down the houses with shot and shell, and fired grape in cessantly, but the soldiers kept close, though they lost men occasionally, and they were most materially aided by the fire of the regiments in the Cemetery behind them, which was directed at the Russian embrasures ; so that the enemy could not get out to fire down on the houses be low. Some of the houses were comfortably furnished. One of them was as well fitted up as most English man sions, the rooms full of fine furniture, a piano in the draw ioeb-room, and articles of luxury a nd t as t e no t d e fi c i en t. Our men unfortunately found that the cellars were not empty, and that there was abundance of tins muscat wino from the south coast •of the Crimea, and of the stronger wines, perfumed with roses and mixed with fruits, which are grown to the interior, in the better sort of houses. Some of the officers, when they went away, carried off articles of cloth ing and papers as proofs of their entrance into the place, and some others took away pigeots and guineapigs which were tame in the houses. The t roo p s en t ere d th e place about 4 o'clock in the morning, and could not leave it till 9 o'clock in the evening. The Russians 'blew up many of the houses and set fire to others, and when our men re tired the flames were spreading along ilseht . treet. Th% 18th Regiment lost 250 men, In the middle of the day Captain Esmonde wrote. to General Eyre to say that he required support, that the men were short of ammunition, and that the rifles were clo g ged. The rifles, which were of the En field pattern, had been only served to the regiment the day before, and again it was found that these admirable weapons are open to the grave defect which has been so frequently mentioned, and that they aro liable to become useless after firing 20 rounds. A sergeant volunteered to creep back wish this letter, but, when he reached the place where the general ought to have been, he found that he had been obliged to withdraw owing to his wound, and he therefore delivered the document to Colonel Ed wardes. As there was no possibility of getting support down to the troops, Colonel Klaaardes crept down along with the sergeant and got into the houses to see how matters were going on. The officer in command, on learn ing tho state, of the case, ordered the men to keep up the hottest fire they could ; and meantime they picked up the rifles and ammunition o f the killed and wounded, and were by that means enabled to continue their fusillade. The 9th Regiment succeeded in effecting a lodgment in the houses in two or three different places, and held their posi tion, as well as the 18th. A sergeant and a handful of men actually got possession of the Etas Wasp Battery, in which there were only 12 or 14 Russian artillerymen. They fled on the approach of our men, but when the latter turned round they discovered they were unsipported ; and the Russians seeing that the poor fellows were left alone, came down on them and drove them out of the battery. An officer and half-a-dozen men of the same regiment got up close to a part of the Flagstaff Battery, and were ad vancing into it, when they, acs, saw that they were by themselves, and, as it was futile to attmapt holding their ground, they retreated. About 15 French soldiers on their left aided them, but as they were likewise unsup pasted they hau to retire. Another officer with only 12 men, took one of the Russian Rifle Pits, bayonetted those they found in it, and held possession of it throughout the day, Meanwhile, while these portions of the sth and 18th and parties of the 44th and 28th were h the houses, the detachments of the same regiments and of the 38th kept up a hot fire frcm the Cemetery on tie Russians in the battery, and on the sharpshooters, al the time being ex posed to a tremendous shower of bulets, grape, round shot, and shell. The loss of the brisade, under such cir cumstances, could not but be extremety severe. One part of it, separated from the other, was exposed to a destruc tive fire in houses, the upper portico of which crumbled into pieces or fell in under fire, and ii was only by keep ing in the lower storey, which was !milted and well-built, that they were enabled to hold theis own. The other parts of it, far advanced from our batteries, were almost unprotected, and wore under a constant mitraille and bombardment from guns which our bilteries had failed to touch. The total number of killed 'rid wounded in the Brigade was, up to the last returns I could see, 107 killed, 552 wounded—total, 659. General Eyre has issued the following order : " SECOND BRIGADE ORDERS, TIIRD DIVISION. " June 19. " The Major-General commandinc the brigade re quests that the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men will accept his thanks for their condun yesterday. He can not sufficiently express his admiratim of their coolness, gallantry, and discipline during a rust trying day. He must tender his thanks to the medical department for their judicious arrangements to provide for the wounded, which arrangements were most successful. To Assistant-Sur geon Gibbons, 44th Regiment, and (1-eeves, 38th Regi ment, especially, much praise is due far their zealous and humane exertions in the field, while exposed to a galling fire from the enemy." The detachment; from the hard-waking and little no ticed Naval Brigade consisted of fotr parties of 60 man each, one for each colu:nn, but onl3 two of them went out, the other two being kept in reserve ; they were told off to carry scaling-ladders and wc.elbacrs ' and to place them for our storming parties. It lE not be wondered at if they suffered severely. On tha' eventful day 14 men were killed and 47 were wounded. When the men re- treated, overwhelmed by the storm tom the enemy's bat tery, several officers and men were left behind wounded, and endured fearful agonies for hours, without a cup of water or a Cheering voice to comfort them. Lieutenant Eriniston lay for 5 hours under the abattis of the Redan, and was reported dead, but ho watched his opportunity, and got away with only a contusicn of the knee. Mr. Ken nedy, senior mate of the London, and of the Naval Bri gade, was also left behind close to tLe abattis, and after several hours of painful concealment he rolled himself over and over like a ball down the declivity, and managed to get into the trench. Lieut. Kidd came in all safe, and was receiving the congratulations of a brother officer, when ho saw a wounded soldier lying out in the open- He at once exclaimed—" We must go and save and leapt over the parapet iu order to do so. He had scarcely gone a yard when he was shot through the breast and died in an hour after. from the sun, or keeping watch over the eternal pot-au feu, making delicious coffee with the rudest apparatus, smoking or taikieg gravely. Yes, for a wonder, the men are grave, and look almost sullen, but they are merely thoughtful, and thinking of the comrades whose bodies they will soon have to inter, for you will find them courteous anti proMpt, to give you a drink of muddy water, or a light for a cigar, or any inform a ti on th e y can a ff or d. By the side of this ravine —your horse must needs tread on them, if you are not careful in guiding him—is many an humble mound, some marking the resting-place of individual soldiers, others piled over one of those deep pits where rank and file lie in their common glory covered with lime, and marked now and then with a simple wooden cross. Our Protestant feelings reed not be outraged by the fact that this emblem of the old Christi an w or ld is not confined to the graves of Roman Catholics, but that the desire to secure for the re mains of their comrades repose in their testiteaplaces here after has induced many soldiers to erect the l cross above those melancholy mounds, knowing that the Russians will respect it. In other turns in the ravine you will find mules with litters for the wounded, and ambulances, and the horses of the Land Transport Corps waiting for their burden. English and French are mixed together. I saw in one place two of our men, apart from the rest, with me lancholy faces. " What are you waiting here for ?" said I. " To go out for the Colonel, sir." was the reply. "What Colonel 1" " Why, Colonel Yea, to be sure, sir," said the goad fellow, who was evidently surprised at my thinking there could be any other colonel in the world. And indeed the Light Division will feel his loss. Under occasional brusqueness of manner he concealed a most kind heart, and a more thorough soldier, one more devoted to his men, to the service, and to his country, never fell in battle than Lacy Yea. I have reason to know that he felt his great services and his arduous exertions had not been rewarded as .he had a right to expect. At the Alma he never went back a step, and there were tears in his eyes on that eventful afternoon as he exclaimed to me, when the men had formed on the slope of the hill after the re treat of the enemy, " There ! look there ! that's all that remains of my poor Fusiliers ! A colour's missing, but, thank God, no Russians have it !" Throughout the winter his attention to his regiment was exemplary. They were the first who had hospital huts. When other regiments were in need of every comfort, and almost of every neces sary, the Fusiliers, by the care of their colonel, had every thing that could be procured by exertion and foresight. Ho never missed a turn of duty in the trenches, except for a short time, when his medical attendant had to use every effort to induce him to go on board ship to save his life. At Inkc rman his gallantry was conspicuous. What did he get for it all ? He and Col. Egerton are now gone, and there remains in the Light Division but ono officer of the same rank who stands in the same case as they did. Is there nothing to be done for the colonels? No recognition of their services ? No decorations ? No order of merit ? Just as one is thinking of these things, a French officer passes by with two orderlies after him. He is about 35 years , of age, and yet hi s em broidered sleeves and his cap snow he is colonel of a regiment, and his breast is covered with riband, and star and cross. Oar colonels had entered the service ere this young man, who has won nearly all his honours in campaigns ag.iust Ben Some thing or other iu Africa, was born. Let us get on, for the subject is unpleasant. You are now close to the Mamelon, and the frequent reports of rifles and the pinging of the I balls close to you prove that the flag of truce has not yet been hoisted by the enemy. We are now in the zigzag, a ditch about 6 feet broad and 6 feet deep, with the earth knocked about by shot at the sides, and we meet French men laden with water canteens or carrying large tin cans full of coffee, and tins of meat and soup, ready cooked, up to the Mamelon. They are cooked in the ravine close at hand, and taken up in messes to the men on duty. The Mamelou rises before us, a great quadrangular work on the top of a mound or hill opposite Malakhoff, which is about 500 yards nearer to Sebastopol. The sides are formed of enormous parapets with a steep slope, and they bear many traces of our tremendous fire on them before the Mamelon was taken. The parapets are high inside the work, and are of a pro digious thickness. It was evident the Mamelon was over done by the Russians. It was filled with huge traverses, anti covers, and excavations inside, so that it was impos sible to put a large body of men into it, or to get them into order in case of an assault. The interior is like a quarry, so torn is it and blown up with shells. IThe stench is fearful. It arises from the dead Russians, who were buried as they fell, and bones, and arms, and legs stick out from the piles of rubbish on which you are treading. Many guns also were buried here when they were disabled by our fire, but they do not decompose so rapidly as poor mortality. I was shown here one of those extraordinary fougasses, or small mines, which are exploded on the touch of the foot, and whichi the Russians planted thickly about their advanced works. If a person steps on it he bends the tin tube, and breaks the glass tube inside. Combustion instantly takes place, the mine explodes, and not only destroys everything near it, but throws out a quantity of bitumen.. with which it is coated, in a state of ignition, so as to burn whatever it rests upon. Later in the day I very nearly land a practical experience of the working of these mines, for an English sentry, who kindly warned me off, did not indicate the exact direction till he found he was in danger of my firing it, when he became very communicative on the subject. One of them blew up during the armistice, but I don't know what damage it did. We have lost several men by them. The white flat , was hoisted from the Redan just as I turned into the second English parallel on my left, where it joins the left of the French right. The Russians threw out a long line of sentries along their works in front of the o.hat tie which guards them, and at the same time we advanced another line of sentries opposite the Redan, and the French a similar cordon before the Mamelon. The officers on duty hastened to the intermediate space, and the burying and searching parties came out on their sad duty. The Quar termaster-General and his staff were on the spot, and every precaution was taken to keep officers and men from crowd ing about. The men in the trenches were enjoined not to get up on the parapets or into the embrasures, or to look over. All officers and men not on duty were stopped by the cavalry a mile behind or at the boyaux in the trenches. The Russians seemed to be under restraint also, but they crowded on the top of the Redan and of the Malakhoff parapets, and watched the proceedings with great interest. I walked out of the trench unmolested on the right and rear of the Quarries, under the Redan, in which we have now established a heavy battery at the distance of 400 yards from the enemy's embrasures , The ground slopes down from our attack for some few hundred yards and then rises again to the Redan. It is covered with long rank grass and weeds, with large stones, with tumuli, alas ! of recent formation, and with holes ranging in depth from 3: e feet or 4 feet to a foot, and in diameter from 5 feet to 7 or 8 feet, where shells have fallen and ex ploded. It is impossible to give a notion of the man ner in which the earth is scarred by these explo sions, and by the passage of shot. The grass, too, is seamed in all directions by grapeshot, and fur rowed by larger missiles, as if ploughs, large and small, had been constantly drawn over it. Some times it is difficult to get over the inequalities in the ground, which is• naturally of a broken and uneven surface. There is a red jacket, in the grass—a private of the 34th is lying on his face as if he were fast asleep; his rifle, with the barrel curved quite round, and bent nearly in two by the grape shot which afterwards passed, through the soldier's body, is under him, and the right band, which protrudes from under his chest, still clutches the stock. it was the first body I saw, and the nearest to our lines, but as we ad vanced and passed the sentries they lay thick enough around and before him. The litter-bearers were already busy. Most of our dead seemed to lie l close to the abattis of the Redan, and many, no doubt, had been dragged up to it at night for plunder's sake. Colonel Yea's body was found near the abattis on the right of the Redan ' • his boots and epaulettes were gone, but otherwise his clothing was un touched. His head was greatly swollen, and his features, and a fine manly face it had been, were nearly undistin guishable. Colonel Shadforth's remains were discovered in a similar state. The shattered frame of Sir John Campbell lay close up to the abattis. His sword and boots were taken, but the former is said to be in the Light Di vision Camp. It is likely he was carried away from the spot where he fell up to the ditch of the abattis for the facility of searching the body, as he could not have got so far in advance as the place where he lay. Already his remains were decomposing fast, and his face was much disfigured. Captain Hume, his attached aide-do-camp, had the body removed, and this evening it was interred on Cathcart's-hill—his favourite resort, where every one was sure of a kind word and a cheerful saying from the gallant Brigadier. It was but the very evening before his death tha I saw him standing within a few feet of his own grave. He had come to the ground in order to attend the funeral of Captain Vaughan, an officer of his own regiment (the 38th), who died of wounds received two days previously in the trenches, and he laughingly invited one who was talking to him to come and lunch with him next day at the Clubhouse of Sebastopol. I must close here for the present. Although the army has been disappointed by the result of the attack on the Redan and Malakhoff, it has not de spaired—it does not despair of the result of this weary siege. It is not too much to say that General Jones, our chief engineer, expects nothing of importance to be achieved for several, many, weeks to come—that Sir George Brown is wiser and more discreet, and Lord Rag lan less sanguine and more perturbed than they have been for some time past. Our Land Transport Corps is so hardly pressed by the service of the Siege Artillery that, as I am informed, the ration of fuel has been, on several occasions, recently not forthcoming for the troops to the full amount. (From the Daily News Special Correspondent.) HEIGHTS BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 21, The original plan of attack contemplated a joint English and French assault of the Malakhoff, which as command ing the Redan and forming the grand key to the whole network of redoubts and batteries in front of the place, would, if taken, have at once rendered the former unte nable, and placed the whole town and harbour at the mercy of the captors. For reasons, however, which no body can understand, this very sensible and apparently most practicable design was abandoned, and the plan was changed into one of a simultaneous attack of the t vo great works—the Malakhoff being undertaken by the French and the Redan by ourselves. The first manifest disadvantage of this arrangement was the spreading of our forces over a field of difficulties nearly double in extent, and enabling the enemy to bring a vast number of guns into play against us, which, in the former case, could not have injured a man. To vastly enhance the chances of failure involved in this plan to ourselves, our whole attack ing force, including supports and everybody else, was limited to some four thousand men ; whilst the French, with a much juster appreciation of the difficulty that fell to their share, told off twenty-five thousand. Of our handful, again, a large proportion consisted of raw re cruits, recently arrived to fill up the gaps in the regiments selected for the service—regiments which, with one or two exceptions, have borne the whole brunt of our trench fighting, and suffered accordingly. This was done through no want of old soldiers, of whom the third and fourth divisions could have furnished abundance — men who have been kept comparatively idle whilst their comrades of the. Light and Second Divisions have been worked like galley-slaves. Sir George Brown, I believe, is to be thanked for this selection ; anxious as he was to gain fresh laurels for his own command, though he well knew the untried materiel of which so large a proportion of its strength is composed. I have already mentioned that the 23d Regiment had been chosen to lead the attack, and that, through a similar motive of mistaken desire to briDge9ry to Du owaoYourito pup, General 4Y Rah THE ARMISTICE. Ram 19. The natural consequence, in civilised warfare, cf such a contest as that which took lace yesterday is an armistice to bury dead. It was our sad duty to demand it, for our dead lay outside our lines, and there wore no Russian corpses in front of the Redan or Malakhoff. After the contest of the 22d of May, General Os en-Sacken is said to have applied twice to our generals before an armistice was him • and, indeed, General Pelissier expressly says that the truce was granted to the Russian general his reite rated request. It is no wonder, then, that tie Russians v were rather chary of granting us an armistice ac corded to ' had no occasion to go outside their lines for shheiredueaty dead or dying and wounded. Somehow or other therum our got abroad that there would be an armistice early in the day, and we hoisted a white flag in the forenooi was no such emblem of a temporary peace disif but there aYed by the Russians. Our batteries and riflemen ceased firing, 03d the Rus sians crowded the tops of the parapets of th) Redan and of the Round Tower (Malakhoff) batteries harass us by any fire, but of course i t was L and did not u ger.s to go out in front of the lines till they hoisted tie white flag also. The advanced trenches were filled with officers and soldiers eager to find the bodies of their poor:tomrades, but they could not stir out of the parallels. They waited patiently and sadly for the moment when faendship's last melancholy office could be performed. It gas a very hot day, and of all the places in the world ere heat dis plays its utmost power, a trench before Sebastopol is the most. intolerable. Every moment anxiens eyes were turned to the huge walls of earth before the R ound T ower and behind the abattis of the Redan, in the hope of seeing the answering flag, but our own was the only one in view, and the French were still firing away oa ou r lef t at the Russian works. It was evident that something wa s wrong , and it was whispered that the Russians had refused our application for an armistice. Boats were at last seen to leave the roads of Sebastopol, and to meet boats from the fleet at the entrance, and it became known that the Rus sians had acceded to an armistice, and that it was to take place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. T o pass the weary time away, there was nothing to do bat to watch the Rus sians at work repairing their batteries—labours which they continued during the armistice subsequently— and to make out the bodies which lay scattered about in front of the Redan and Malakhoff. It was agonising to see the wounded men who were lying there under a broil ing sun parched with excruciating thirst, racked with fever, and agonised with pain—to behold them waving their caps faintly or making signals toward our lines, over which they could see the white flag waving, and not to be able to help them. They lay where they fell, or bad scrambled into the holes formed by dells; and there they had been for 30 hours—oh ! how long and how dreadful in their weariness ! An officer told me that one soldier who was close to the abattis when he saw a few men come out of an embrasure raised himself on his elbow, and, fearing, he should be unnoticed and passed by, raised his qp,p on a stick and waved it till he fell back exhausted. Alain he rose, and managed to tear off his shirt, which he agitated in the air till his strength failed him. His face could be seen through a glass, and my friend said he never could forget the expression of resignation and despair with which the poor fellow at last abandoned hs useless efforts, and folded his shirt under his head to await the mercy of Hen ven. Whether he was alive or not when our men went out I cannot say, but five hours of thirst, fever, and pain urek anden groundgre grey c o a i t n s were scattered about or lay in under a fierce sun would make fearful odds against him. The red coats lay sadly thick over the tdh in the rainconrses be fore eb blue front of the abattis of the Redan, the Malakhoff.
