men, and the contents eagerly scrutinised. Each had in it two coarse cotton shirts, two pairs of socks, a pair of cloth mits, a strong pair of leather boots, and one 1 pair of trousers. All these were arranged in excellent order and beautifully clean. I have seldom seen linen cleaner. Nearly every other man's knapsack contained a pack of cards. No books were found except four or five Korans in Turkish and Arabic, proving what I had previously heard, that we should find many Mahome dans in the ranks of the Russians. , The French had great sport after the battle with some women's clothes, which they found near the redoubt where they lost so many men. It appears that some Russian ladies had been brought by Prince Menschikoff to view the fight, and that they had erected a sort of scaffolding for them to see from. This Ibelieve is strictly true. The ladies must surely have felt very uncomfort able on seeing the French ascend the heights on their left flank. A few cases of base ingratitude are recorded. Se veral of the wounded Russians fired at our wounded who were lying disabled near thiem. One man deli berately fired at and wounded aft artilleryman, who had just given him some water to quench his burning thirst. The indignant guardsman instantly clubbed the scoundrel ; but, on the whole, they appeared thankful for the attention shown them—as well they might. Some of our poor fellows seemed jealous of this good treatment, and appeared to think themselves neglected. To one man I observed, as a consolation, that, under similar cir cumstances, the Russians would have shown him equal kindness. "Devil a bit," said the man ; and I believe he was right. The Russians have certainly behaved barbarously in not sending in. to bury their deal, or to tend their wounded. An immense number of broken muskets covered the ground. When our men passed over the wounded, they instantly destroyed their wea pons, by breaking the stock. A great many rifles of superior workmanship were picked up. Their maker is Malherbes, of Liege. Many of the Russians shammed wounded. Inside the redoubt above 300 dead Russians were found. Outside, an equal number of our poor fellows fell. Here the Highlanders were busy digging trenches to contain the dead. A long line of our dead were placed in a line preparatory t o being interred. The prior 23d figure heavily in this dismal scene. The Prussian regiment which must have suffered the most is the 32d Imperial Guard. Hundreds of helmets bearing that in scription were on the field. The wounded had thrown • off this heavy head covering, and had donned their small and light cap. Very few horses appeared to have fallen, and these belonged chiefly to our officers. The hot sun had already touched their carcases, and to-day the stench is intolerable. In this redoubt a general officer was captured. He was stretched on the ground beside his fallen horse, apparently deal. An artilleryman, who had taken a violent fancy to ;:is coat, was about to divest the supposed corpse of it, when the body began to move and nearly frightened the lean off. It was soon discovered that no harm had conro to the general, fer on his coat being opened two stars as oimceli his iwrik. The general's object was evidentl:- to lie quietly until night, and tacit make off. Tais rt ee com plete:). failed. All day °tor seamen have been engaged in s nrinc.fing down woan&al.

"It is said the Russians have retired frein Katcha, and will defend the liue of the Belbeck." E.M.S. AGA.IIMENOIT. KATCEIA RIVER, SE) T. !M I witnessed the greater part of the battle : the Agameninoo's maintop, and no one could have; seen it better. Had I been on the field I should h bye seen more of personal valour and of the movetnenv.s of par ticular bodies of men, but I wished to have a complete view of the whole of the part taken both by the Eng lish and French armies, and in this I was suec,ssful, as I looked down noon the field of battle as upon a map. Towards the end of it I joint - A the French, who' formed the extreme right, and advanced under the co,..ir of the guns of the in-shore squadron. .The French ce inmence.l the action, scaling the heights with great corufage and skill. I have never seen anything more bean Hui than the way in which the Zoua.ves and Tirailleurs scrawl:acid up the almost perpendicular cliffs, and formed in line or the summit under a very heavy fire. They - .l , aid their ground until Bosquet's division and the artillee y reached the heights. The battle then became grand ; and the Russians were steadily beaten back. Their flai.k having thus been turned, I could scarcely doubt the issue of the battle. The position, however, vas enormooS,y strong. F.incy a gradually sloping country, without: a single object to protect advancing troops, ending ix a river sweeping round high cliffs of earth, in the ',entre of which, about three miles from the sea, was amphi theatre of hills ; this amphitheatre commanded-the prin cipal fords over the river and the open country ;beyond ; it was strengthened by an earthwork with 10 or 12. guns, and a permanent battery of 12 guns more. T m great mistake of the Russians consistea in not sufficietal.iy forti fying the heights to their left, which might have"; 'een ren dered exceedingly strong. Indeed, it is the gene-r: feeling that such a position held by French or Euglis .1 troops would have been almost impregnable. The are lies were fortunately so placed that they had the work to e to which best suited the peculiar qualities of their me 1. The English could not havescaled the heights like the French, nor would French columns, in ail probability, have marched up to the batteries with that dogged courage which so distinguishes British troops when plae ed in the position in which they were during this battle. The French having turned the Russian flank and held the heights, our troops advanced steadily under a enost tre mendous fire from batteries. They broke in crossing the the river, and the Light Division rushed up the slope without pausing. Tw© regiments—it is impc , ssible to reconcile the conflicting accounts, each regime at saying the other gave way—recoiled beneath the trecr idous fire of the Russian batteries. This part of the batitto is much criticised by some of the military authorities, who de clare that our troops were exposed to almost ;inevitable destruction ; the earthwork was, however, triumphantly carried, and the battle decided by an admirable move ment of the Highland Brigade, under Sir Celia Campbell —to whom every one assigns the decisive movement which secured complete victory ; but the slaughter here was terrific. The oldest Generals declare that in . no battle heretofore fought have so many dead been heaped up in one spot. It would be impossible to dese,ribe to you the frightful scene which I witnessed in tlaae square mile comprising this earthwork, the slope beneati a it and the slope above it, upon which were farm ed the enormous squares of the Russian infantry. Th's greater part of the English killed and wounded wet 43 here, and there were at least fire Russians to every Eng lishman. You could not walk for the The most frightful mutilations the human, body can i-uffer—the groans of the wounded—the packs, liehnets, arms, clothes, scattered over the ; ground formed a scone that ono can never forg at The two principal batteries having been carried the di 7 was ours ; the IC.issians retired under a well-scat:in fire front our Horse ArtiLery and Foot Artillery. I:rialor-. tunate!y our utter want of cavalry enabled the Rt ssians to retire in good order, and to carry off all their g a es but three. Had we possessed cavalry the retreat meet have ended in a complete rout. Our infantry was too much - exhausted to pursue them, and the Horse Artil lery, unsupported by cavalry, was unable to follow very far ; it inflicted fearful injury upon the retreating columns, however, as the immense number of dead since found on the road to Sebastopol sufficiently pi oyes. This most brilliant affair only lasted from the very. be ginning to the end 3I hours ; our troops were scaecely engaged for more than two hours, and the Third and Fourth Divisions were not in action. We learn from intercepted letters that the Russians made sure of hold ing their position for at least three weeks ! The loss on our part was, as you will see by the official returns, 'very great. It amounts, I believe, to 2,106, and above 100 officers killed and wounded. The French place theirs at 1,400, but this is believed to be a considerable exag geration. Generals Oanr o be r t and ,Thomasson w ere wounded, the first slightly (I saw him towards the end of the battle), and the French suffered a great loss in the commander of the Zouaves, a very brave and able officer, • greatly respected. The Turks . forming the reserve were not under fire. It is very difficult to ascertain the loss of the Russians. A Polish deserter, just corae to us from Sebastopol, declares that the report abroad was that they had lost nearly 16,000 men—of course a great exaggeration, but it shows the effect of the battle on the . .Russian mind. I believe that their loss must, however, 1 14 ‘ .'ve, exceeded• 6,000 ; the slaught er was fri g htful. 'uaen 6 ehiketra carriage and despatche s were ca p tured b y • the French ; we have secured two guns, and among the prisoners are two generals, one on board the Agamem non—a pretty specimen o f a Russian General It ap pears that not only had every soldier been withd rawn from Sebastopol, b ut even the marines and 1,500 sailors were brought to the aid of the army at the Alma ; and all the deserters declare that such was the state of Sebastopol and the panic after the defeat that the place might easily have been taken by our fleet. We remained for two days on the field ; the French wished to march on the second day, but Lord Raglan declined. Ou r victory .has been glorious, worthy o f t h e Britisharms, and affords fresh proof that the old English s t u ff still re mains ; but there has been a great wantof sc F m ro e pe ro r Medi cal assistance ; the wounded wer e l e f t, nights,• the whole for oils, on the field. From therbatt7loe they have been bundled on board ship by GOO and 700,'' w ithout any medical attendant. There w ere no prop er means for removing the wounded from th e field; It it had not been for Admiral Lyons and the in-shore squa dron, I know not what would have happened. He and the sailors of his squadron have behaved nobly ; I can not describe to you all they have done. The seamen and marines, with oars and hammocks, brought the wounded to the beach, placed them on board the trans ports, and tended them like nurses ; officers and all took part, night and day, in the good work. Ifnever saw such devotion. Peel, Dacres, Drummond, Moore—in • fact, all the captains, with Lyons at their head, were in defatigable ; and yet remember that there were two divi sions of the army that had scarcely lost one man, and might have done something for the wounded. The num ber of lives which have been sacrificed by the want of pro per arrangements and xegiect must be very considerable. The French, on the other hand, managed admirably. I believe the whole of their wounded were brought in imme diately after the battle. Priests and medical officers were everywhere. The general officers, Canrobert in cluded, and officers of every grade, were superintending the removal of those who had fallen. Mules, with slung seats and beds, were employed in conveying the wounded. I tell you all this from what I saw myself. I went everywhere, determined to judge for myself. Yesterday afternoon ten medical officers arrived from England, and it is to be hoped that they will do something towards remedying the neglect which has hitherto distinguished our medical staff. To add to our misfortunes, the Fourth Division was encamped on an old encamping ground of the Russians ; the cholera has consequently broken out with great violence among them. " We learn from the prisoners that the Russians have within the last 12 days received reinforcements amounting to 15,000 men from Moldavia and Odessa, and 8,000 from the side of the Anapa. The General (Slokonoff) on board tells me that he left Moldavia in the beginning of August with his division, and only reached the Alma in time to take up his position there. He has not been to Sebastopol. From what we now learn, the victory of the 20th has created a perfect panic in Sebastopol, and I have very little doubt that a very few days will suffice for its capture. The people of the country are still well-disposed towards us. The Russian cavalry are inexplicably inactive, and Governor Brock, who illuminated Eupatoria in honour of our victory, I am informed, sends large Trains of carts with pro visions to the army without a single soldier. As far as we can mike out, the Russians had about 50,000 men on the Alma, 33,000 infantry of the line (I receive an exact account of this branch from the General, our prisoner), about 100 - guns, and between 5,000 and 6,000 cavalry. They will probably make one more stand on the Belbeck, in the neighbour hood of which they have built works and mined exten sively. Kinglake accompanied Lord Raglan's staff during the action. All our friends are well. Dickson behaved very gallantly, bringing up two guns, and working one himself after the captain was killed. These two guns were placed by Lord Raglan, and did very great service in breaking up one of the immense squares of Russian infantry. " September 24.—The despatch did not leave yester day, as intended, and I have just time to add a line to my long epistle. The allied armies have just marched. There are some Russian troops on the Belbeek river, but it is doubtful whether they intend to make a great stand there. They have bad recourse to the desperate expedient of sinking eight of their men-of war in the mouth of the harbour, believing that we would boldly push into it. Poor people ! They don't know what an Admiral we have. I have just seen a letter from him, in which he rejoices at this move of the Russians, and adds, So here ends our naval campaign !' The remaining ships in harbour are careened over, so that their guns on one side may point upwards, to defend, if possible, the heights. from all we hear there is a perct panic in Sebastopol, and there is, no doaht that, had our admiral 13.-. en ainin of energy or courage, the place might now have been ours. We can see thousands of Ruk - “ians at work, thro.vi,ig up earthworks to the north of the fortifications. T:ie Retri bution and one of the French steamers have liczn under the batteries all,the morning. A heavy fire has been kept up upon them, but without ed'ect as yet, as far as we can see. We tire now about. seven miles feoni the i,ar hour. It is now generally a , lmitted that at one was: great (Ls9r,ler on the 20th, and that the ba - ,t, o stns decAed by an admirable flank movement made by Sir C. Campbell and his Highland Brigade. The Fini'lers and 231, and the 19th or 33d (ecannot ascertain ex actly which), were the regiment.' driven back. "BLACK Set, OFF SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 24. —The loss off the Russians at the battle of tiro A 1 ,113 has been even greater than we supposed. Our array has burial 2,500. lam informed by an Eng lish eye-witness who visited the French crimp early the following morning that the heaps of dead Rwisians beyond the French lines were enormous. Teo. French caught them in flank while retreating, after our High landers and Horse Artillery had done with them. 700 wounded Russians were left in a village tin the north bank of the Alma, and about 70 were carried n board one of our transports ; so that the stories brought in by Poll h deserters of 14,000 or 15,000 killed, wounded, and missing, do not appear so improbable as I at first thought. They retired night and day, and for two days and nights were bringing in wounded. Ail the hospitals are full. They have sunk one three-decker, three two-deckers, one two-decker hulk, anl two frigates in the mouth of the harbour, with their guns in. This looks rather desperate. The allied armies marched from the Katcha riser, above Sebastopol, this morning.

" The following description of the battle is trans lated from the Moniteur de he Flotte, and purports to have been written by a superior officer of the French navy :7 "'Alma Roads, off the Crimea, Sept. 22. —The battle, which began at noon on the 20th, was a complete victory. At 6 o'clock in the evening night alone rescued the Rus sians from a most terrible destruction. They retreated to their intrenched camp at Katcha, 1(5 miles to the south of this. But to take things in their order .—On the 19th the allied army, encamped on the shore at Old Fort, where it had landed, struck its tents. All the French divisions moved first, with the brave first division of the gallant Canrobert at their head. Our order of march was cad losange, and the English, forming the two north flanks, marched after us. We were aware that the Rus sians were encamped on the left bank of the Alma. The right bank is very low, but the left bank, on the con trary, rises abruptly in peaks, lifting its crests to the height of a hundred feet. On the north, by which we were to debouch, is an immense plain, stretching with a gentle rise to the watercourse of Zembruck, parallel to and two miles north of the Alma. At the foot of the steeps on the left bank of the .A.lina there is a village, the greater part of which occupies the right bank. This vil lage is full of trees, and is intersected by numerous en closures planted with vines. " The Alma is only passable at three points in the course of its last mile, close to its mouth. Even at its month it is by a narrow bank which only affords a pay sage for one man at a time in front. Following its course, about ninth and a quarter higher up is a bridge which passes through the upper end of the village ; it leads to a valley shut in between the mountains which stretch onwards towards the east and the pleteaus of which I have spoken, which reach to the sea :Vtd com mend the river. Higher up the Alma towards the east the stream diminishes, and its bed is fordable in many places. " Menschikoff, solidly established on the heights of the left hank, and occupying the village at his feet, with 45,000 mew, of whom 12,000 were of the Guard and 3,000 Dragoons, and having crowned the steep ground and the opening of the village on the valley by which the steep ground is terminated towards the east with a numerous artillery, and thinking his position was impregnable, had written to his master (as we learnt from his cor respondence of the 21st, which we. have seized),—' I am awaiting the French in an impassable position ; even if there are 200,000 of them I shall throw them into the sea.' "All this description is indispensable thoroughly to catch the ensemble of the action which follows. While the formidable lozenge, the point in front, marched over the ten marine miles which separate Alma from Old Fort, the fleet followed. The weather was fine, and there was a slight breeze from the south-west. The sailing vessels were towed by the steamers .and the frigates. The light steamers sailed close in , shore, sounding, and signalling the depth as they wend. A. little off from shore were the four steam frigates Van ban, Descartes, Canada, and Caffarelli, and, then, further out still, in a parallel line the men-of-war. The night before all our other frigates and nearly all oar transports had left for Varna to embark the cavalry; of which we are completely deficient, and 10,000 men of the reserve. Of course, we on board the fleet sailed faster than the army marched, so that by noon on the 19th we were all anchored off the mouth of the Alma ; the men•of•war found themselves in eight or nine fathoms water about two miles off' the shore. The old Vauban, anchored in four fathoms, was in front of the river at a distance of three or four cables o ff. Her bow guns carried to 16 cables, so that she could sweep about a mile and a quarter of the shore ; unfortunately, the steep of the right bank which commanded her was 100 feet high, and w a s four cables from the shore. The Russian pieces perched up above could have riddled us with impunity, but, hap• pily, they were terrified by the sight of so many vessels, the position of which they mistook, and they retired into the interior, out of the reach of ou r guns. Only their Finland riflemen, w ho, we are told, are sharp ac tive fell ows, began they lay on the flat of th e i r bellies taking aim at us. began firing on us from s ome o f the nearest cres t s, p theßoland, tar ca L t a o n v is a i e h r d , Berthollet, Primauget, Vauban, The e, S Caffarelli, threw some shells at them, whichquickl y cleared the coast. , "At noon our advanced guard cro wned the hillocks from the enemy of Zemb ruc k and was only separated by the w id e p l a i n o f a m ile and a quarter across, which stretches f rom Z em b ruc k to the Alma. The plan of the Marshal, we knew, was to halt for a time at Zembruck, showin g only the heads of his columns, in order to draw down some of the Russians into the plain on the right of the Alma. Canrobert was to creep round to the east, and at a given moment to turn round and fall on the right of the Russians engaged on the plain, when the enemy, attacked on the right flank and in front, would be peat up in a corner, and driven down to the sea under the tire of our batteries. tip to 2 o'clock in the after noon Menscbikoff remained in his intrenchments on the inaccessible plateaus of the left bank without stirring. At 2 o'clock, however, taking our motionless attitude for hesitation, caused by bis formidable position, he de- tached a strong column of cavalry, (Dragoons of the Guard) down to the plain, followed and supported by a brigade of infantry, marching in close column. Atten tion ; now the drama is about to begin. Grouped on the poop, in the tops, on the yards, in the shrouds, breathless with excitement and emotion, we had a capi tal view of the field ; nothing escaped us ; we could dis tinguish the uniforms of the regiments, the arms they carried—everything, in fact. Oh, the glorious and beautiful spectacle ! two armies were about to join battle under our eyes. Our friends, our brethren in arms, at last were on the point of finding themselves face to face with the enemy so long wished for, so long desired. France was about to cross swords with Russia—how great the duel ! And now the Russian cavalry deploys ; it executes beautiful manoeuvres,, the harmony and the precision of which we admire. It skirmishes with our outposts ; several volleys of artillery are fired at it ; it replies, and the Russian infantry, forming in squares, marches resolutely to support it. But our front stirs not ; the English troops are not yet in line, and it is impossible for the Marshal to venture a general engagement to-day. At 4 o'clock the English arrive, but it is too late for a for ward movement. The army pitches its tents and pre pares for a bivouac. Thereupon Menschikoff exults, and promises himself to demolish us finely to-morrow. At a quarter-past four Canrobert's division, which has succeeded in stealing a flank march, makes its appear ance in the east of the plain. All the Russian squadrons deploy on the right, make a great circle, and charge hotly on our division. The division halts, forms three squares, flanked by its artillery, and awaits the attack. How 'iny heart beats—if they should be crushed by that mass of 3,000 horsemen launched on them at full gallop! But no ! a terrible fire of cannon and musketry receives them, horses fall to the ground, a still greater number escape without riders in all directions, and the mass of cavalry flies in disorder, and seeks a refuge behind the infantry, where it reforms. Bravo, bravo, the fire has begun ; the Muscovite has turned tail ! Soon Canro bert has reached about half-way along our front ; he defieirthe enemy. The cavalry, ashamed of its first de feat, tries for a revenge. Its columns aro reformed, massed together closer than before, and the charge be gins more rapid and more furious than the first. But a close discharge stops amid breaks the rolling mass ; the earth is strewed with corpses, and the routed Dra, goons fly to recover themselves behind the Muscovite squares. No doubt the general who commanded the infantry was horribly enraged at seeing the fine cavalry of the Guard disbanding themselves in so disgraceful a fashion under the eyes of both armies, for this time he received the fugitives with a general discharge, which surprised us much, and, I own, made us laugh heartily. But it was now 7 o'clock, and both parties withdrew to their own encampment. Sept. 20.-3 fine sky, smooth sea, and radiant Our troops strike their tents, and are in motion at six o'clock. The English are in line, and occupy the left of our army. The Turks are at tau extreme right resting on the sea. From our vessel we CO'll,l Sto all the Russet% positions. Canrobert's attempt time day before to turn their right has put Menscliikaff on his mettle against this manceuvre, So we find that, sine.: the night before, a movement has been made towards the rig lit to strengthen it. The centre of t6e hessian army is in used in the valley which faces the bridge over the Alma ; its left, which has been with drawn about three•quartere of a mile from the set, covers the heights which look over the river, and which are a cmtitruation of the peaked hills near the mouth of the river ; its right covers all the heights which conirnand the val;ey to the east, and jastly, its advanced guard, with all the riflemen, occapy the village on both the banks of the river. A formidable artillery protects the front and the flanks on every eminence in front of the valley, and in front of the river they have strong re doubts. Menschlkoli occupies the tower of a telegraph station, from which he has a view of the country for nine miles round. The Marshal and Lord Roden have agreed on the same dispositions as the night before, ex cept that this time there was no longer any question of throwing the Russian army into the sea, it had with drawn itself at least two miles ; but the point was to surround and envelope it in the valley in which it was massed. It was settled that the English, who formed the right wing, should march to the east, and then turning round with a sweep to the right, should out , flank the right wing.. Ott our right the Turks and the division of General Bosquet were to follow the sea, and outflank the Russian left wing, which had left a consi derable space occupied between it and the shore, and were then to turn round on the Russian left and rear. The Marshal was to attack the front by the village and the bridge leading to the valley where the strength of the Russians was massed, but he was to time his move ment so as to occupy the attention of the enemy, and allow time for our two wings to outflank him. These were the dispositions agreed on, and towards 7 o'clock our army commenced to move without attempt at con cealment. At. 10 o'clock there was a general halt ; the ,oldiers were ordered to take a meal, and an hour's rest was allowed them. The Russians remained quiet, waiting the shock in their formidable positions. One thing surprised us on board very much—that Mena chilsoff had completely abandoned the defence of the peaked heights which defended his left. A few guns and a handful of soldiers defending the ravines which pierced that wall of 100 feet high, would have been enough to stop all our army. We learnt afterwards from the prisoners who were taken that he had aban doned the defence of this line whiCh covered his left, re garding, it as absolutely impassable even for goats. He did not know our Zouaves From 10 to 11 o'clock Menschikoff, having no idea of our plan of outflanking him on both wings, and not seeing the cross-movement of the English, which was covered by the mountains in the east, thought again, as he had done the night before, that we were hesitating, dispirited, and disconcerted by the obstacles before us. 'Decidedly,' said he to the of ficers of his staff, these French have had enough. I shall be obliged to go and help them to re-embark a little quicker.' At 11 o'clock the Marshal launched his right along the side of the river, and we could see the Chas seurs, the Zouaves, and the Turks coming along at a run—it is clear that the Marshal supposes that the English have had time enough to make their movement to the left. Then we see all our centre in motion, and advancing in good order on the village. At noon it ap proaches that position, which is covered by a cloud of Russian skirmishers. The cannon roars, and the fire spreads everywhere. During this time we see our right pass the river at its mouth ; other columns push higher, passing the river any way they can. Very soon we are astonished to see our men climbing these inaccessible peaks, clinging to everything, and swarming along like ants. After 20 minutes' climbing, we see theta rising on the crest of the hill, crowning every elevation, and before Menschikoff could have believed his eyes we had 10,000 men outflanking him on his right. tThen he bethinks him of drivingeback the danger, and launches against Bosquot's cavalry 30 pieces of artillery and several columns of infantry. It is too bite, though. Our troops give way not a foot, six pieces of our ar tillery have succeeded in passing the bridge, and advance to support Bosquet. The formidable artil lery of the Russians pierces us and makes lanes through our ranks ; but our brave fellows stand their ground, and soon reinforcements arrive. Our centre carries the village ' and all the Russian riflemen are driven out or killed. Soon we are so strong on the left of the Russians, and their attention' is so fixed on their centre, menaced by the Marshal, that they leave us un disturbed masters of the heights towards the sea. Bos quet profits by this to push ahead and to occupy the noel to Katcha with his division, so as to bar the retreat by that. All goes well in that quarter, but there are no signs of time English on the left wing. The Marshal cannot advance too far, because our centre would be un covered on the right. At 2 o'clock all the village is ours, wed the left bank is conquered ; at 3 o'clock we attack the Russian centre, a battery is taken in a re doubt, we press the left of the Russians, and we force them to concentrate all their efforts on the centre and the left. For three hours three of our divisions and an English division had all the Russian army on their hands. At last, at half-past 3, there is a great move ment visible on the right of the Russians. It is the English troops making their appearance. They advance rapidly, but, in approaching, obstacles, arising from the nature of the ground, no doubt prevent them from taking the Russian army in flank, and they make a flank march, so as to get in front of the valley and of the Russian masses. They are in two parallel lines. The Russians resolve to attack them, and all at once three enormous columns, which formed the Russian order of battle en the right, formed close column, fixed bayonets, and rushed at a run on tke first line of the English. This resists ; the second line rushes to its support, and then the lines in front, which unroll themselves like long ser pents, lap over at the extremities, enclosing the Rus sians between them. In this order of attack, the Eng lish, by stretching out a little, have the great advantage of being able to surround the enemy. a " If the centre of the English army had been pierced, all was over—the English army would have been de stroyed ; but these brave fellows bore the check without breaking, and at this very moment a French battery of Horse Artillery came up and took the Russian mass on its left flank. Then came a frightful pell-mell ; there was no mere firing ; they stabbed one another with the bayonet. At the end of a quarter of an hour the, Rus sian mass was destroyed, and the English lines,ireform ing in close order to close up the numerous gapN rushed on the Russian right. From that time all eyelet down before us, and the Russian army would have been anni hilated. Our artillerymen pursued them until six o'clock, firing on the mass without cessation, and Bos quet saluted them as they passed with a heavy camp, and encamped for the night on the field so glpriously won. On the morrow (the 21st) the first care was to relieve the wounded and bury the dead. The allies hail 1,000 killed and 2,000 wounded. The Russians had 8,000. " One can scarcely form an idea of the wonderful manner in which our soldiers fight, accustomed . to African warfare, and attacking-with surprising ;resolu tion, but with a marvellous intelligence too. Are they before a battery—quick —you see them break up into skirmishers, killing from a afar, but without pr4senting a mark for the enemy to fire at. The same llefore square ; but when it comes to the charge, when they have thrown di sor d er i n t oa co l umn, you see them form quickly in a lump and charge with the bayonet. The brave English are still the iron columns which advance in trepidly to the slaughter without hurry and without re ceding a foot, When Lord Raglan saw our divisions of the right climbing the gigantic walls of the heights which shut in the river he applauded and shouted, They are not men, they are lions and tigers.' " The brave English are enchanted with them allies, e g to o r od ye j s u te d r g d e a s y o w f h b er r e a v v e e r ry ih t e h y lu s k aw w a e u r w e d h o w a e r l , havean d they, labo Frenchman they saluted him with frantic cliFerine• Prince Napoleon has displayed wonderful caolneiss and ardour, so that the night afte r th e b att l e one 'of the Zouaves summarized the general opinion of him' by de claring that lie was finished trooper, and ought for sure to have served in the Old Guard.' y esterday and to-day we have collected and embarked the wounded, sun. the Russians as well as our own. I have visited the field of battle. What a terrible spectacle ! There were some places where the Russians lay so thick that earth had been thrown on them in a heap, without atteirpt ing to dig a hol.e to receive them. The earth was strewed with arms and debris of all sorts. To-morrow we march for Katcha, 10 miles from this. Will the Russians await us there ? They must be completely demoralised, for we have just given them, a thorough beating, and in the most formidable position you can imagine. Thence we shall fall on Sebastopol all together, and with God's help, we shall draw this claw from the Northern Bear's paw." MARSEILLES, OCT. 6.—Reinforcements are beginning to arrive here for the army of the East. A squadron of the let Regiment of Hussars embarked on Sunday last, without horses, on board the mail steamer Egyptus for Constantinople and Varna. They completely filled the ship. Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, grandson of the ex-King - Jerome, embarked to-day on board the mail steamer Euphrate for Constantinople, together with 200 of the 6th Regiment of Cuirassiers and a squadron of the 4th Chassenrs. Prince Bonaparte holds a commis sion in the 7th Dragoons, at present in the Crimea. A very considerable quantity of warm clothing was for warded by the Euphrate to the army of the East. Transports are being prepared in the port of the Joliette to embark horses for the Black Sea. The camp at Cabries, near this town, which now consists of 7,000 men, is to be increased by 10 battalions, which can be conveniently embarked for foreign service as re quired. The steam-packet Nil arrived here last evening with despatches, which were forwarded to Paris by a special train, under the care of an Im perial courier. The Nil brought, likewise, nearly 300 invalid soldiers from the army of the East. There were among them several of the native troops of Algeria, who appear to have suffered severely from the climate. The Fury, so celebrated since her close inspection of Sebas topol, arrived at 7 this morning from Constantinople, with Lord Burghersh, bearing despatches from Lord Raglan, containing the details of the battle of the Alma. The British Consul, accompanied by Mr. Birch, his Vice- Consul, drove to the dock to meet his lordship, who pro ceeded without delay by special train to Paris. Colonel Haygarth, of the Scots Fusileer Guards, who was severely wounded at the Alma, arrived at Malta in the Fury, with the intention of continuing his journey to Mar seilles, but he became so much worse on the passage that he found himself unable to proceed further than Malta. The officers •of the Fury, who witnessed the battle from their ship, describe it as being one of the most severely contested on record. The Russians had an enormous advantage in artillery, having; several 32- pounder field. pieces, to which toe English could only oppose aine-pounders, and the French 12-pounders. One of those 32 pounders was captured by our Rifles. The Russians, having been driven from what they considered an impregnable position, were pursued by the allies until long after sunset, but our deficiency in cavalry prevented us fr. - >m ina'iing many prisoners. The officers of the Fury are of opinion that Sebastopol must fail before many days. Toe people of Marseilles, who are a slow race, were somewhat excited on Sunday last by the arrival of a pri vate despatch announcing the capture of Sebastopol. The probabilities of the truth of the despatch continued to be discussed throughout Monday, but on Tuesday the Pre fect, having commanded the article in the Monitear of that day to be posted in the streets, announcing, though not officially, the same fact, the enthusiasm was quite extraordinary, and preparations were made for a general illumination, which was partially carried out on Tuesday and Wednesday night by some clubs hod caf4s. At the same time the most ridiculous reports were in circula tion. A person, who' ought to be respectable, asserted iu the Chamber of Commerce that the Caradoc had entered the harbour dressed in her gayest colours, bear ing despatches confirming the happy tidings. Great anxiety was expressed to see the celebrated Menschikoff, • who, it was expected, would shortly arrive here a pri soner. The arrival of the Nil last evening disappointed all our hopes, but we trust that we shall before many days really see the Caradoc arrive with the good news, and that the preparations fur a general illumination have not been thrown away. A letter from Toulon of this morning states that the 'screw ships of the line Navarin and Fleurus were nearly ready for sea, and are intended to replace the ships in . the Black Sea which require repairs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The sittings of the court for the October Quarter Session were resumed yesterday, at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant Judge, and a bench of magistrates. The calendar was a very light one, there being only sixty-four prisoners for trial, all of whom, with the exc.vtion of two, were charged with felony. The Assistant-Judge briefly charged the grand jury. Louie Eugene D. Aumont, 35, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with having feloniously embezzled three sums of money, amounting to 23/..125., which he had received for, and on account of, his master and employer, Joseph Hogarth. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Itibton for the prisoner. _ _ _ The prosecuter was Mr. Hogarth, printseller, of the Haymarket, and the prisoner was in his service as shop mat', anti had been so for between seven and eight years. Although but three small sums were laid in the in dictment as having been embezzled by the prisoner, the total amount ho had appropriated to himself was about 2501. The AsfistaniJutp sentenced hint ,to 15 months' hard labour. William Richardson, 19, barman, was indicted for having stolen a shilling, the money of William James Gurney, his master. The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's service since the 18th of August, and suspicion being entertained as to his honesty, a shilling was marked and placed in the till. It was missed, a constable was sent for, and on th• Prisoner being searched, it was found in his waistcoat pocket. The prosecutor was a publican, at 55, King striet, Soho. The prisoner confessed his guilt. The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to nine months' bard labour. Edzoard Giles, 21, barman, was indicted for stealing the sum of 2/. 19s. 6d., the money of his masterl This case was similar to the last-mentioned. The prosecutor was Mr. William Standen, the proprietor of the Pontefract Castle, in Chapel street, New-road, and the prisoner had only been in his service eight days. The prisoner helped himself to the money out of the till, half-a-crown at a time, and he pleaded guilty to the charge. Sentenced to nine months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.—SATURDAT. Mr. George Helmore, jun., coal merchant, St. Peter's- Wharf, Millbank-street, Westminster, was summoned before Aldermen Cubitt and Sir R. W. Carden by Mr. Knott, inspector of weights and measures, for having sent out for delivery, on September 30, 20 sacks of coals, weighing less than 224 lbs. each, whereby he had sub jected himself to a penalty of 1001 , under the statute 1 and 2 Vim. IV., cap. 75, sec. 57. Mr; Clarkson appeared for the defendant. _ . . _ J o hn Wood, the beadle of Guildhall, stated that on the 9th September Mr. Knott called his attention to the defendant's waggon that was delivering coals at the Retntubrancer s-office, and at his request took a Dote of the weight of several sacks. There were 33 sacks weighed, of which 20 wore deficient in qu an ti t i es o f f rom 4 lbs. to 5 lbs. each, making a total deficiency of 509 lbs. The remaining 13 sacks were all over the required weight from 12 lbs. to 18 lbs., making a total surplus of 104 lbs. The carman had delivered 17 sacks before the w.lighing had commenced. /4r. Clarkson said he could not deny his client's legal, liability, as he was responsible for the acts of his ser vants, but he contended there was no intention on the part of the defendant to defraud. The man whose duty it was to weigh the coals got drunk, and instead of doing his (lilt; allowed them to be put into the waggon with. out braving them passed through the scales at all, and this gaess work accounted for some sacks being less and some more than their proper weight. Sir R. W. Carden said this was a matter of great public interest. There appeared to have been gross care lessness on the part of Mr. Helmore's servants, but, looking at all the facts, the court would take a lenient course, and would inflict only a nominal fine of 40s. and cost; and he did this without in the slightest way im puting to the defendant the desire to defraud. He hoped Mr. Helmore would look better after his servants in future. Joseph links, coal dealer, of Fetter-lane, was also summoned by Mr. Knott for not having a machine and weightsmith his cart at the time of delivering coals. • Mr. links said he was delivering them within a few doors of his own house, and if the buyer had desired it, he would have sent the machine up without delay. He had no intention to avoid their being weighed, as his man had just bought them at the Great Northern Coal Company, and had seen them weighed there. The court fined him 10s. and costs. _ _ John Walker, pork butcher, Paved-alley, Newgate market, was summoned by Mr. Knott for having a false balance, which gave him a draft of oz. on each weighing. Fined 20s. and coats. Thvmsa2 Oakes, of the Angel public-house, Fenchurch street, was summoned by Mr. Hurward, inspector of weights and measures, for having four measures not holding the standard quantity. Mr. Hurward stated that defendant had been fined .tha-cOsts of summonses and forfeiture of 17 measures in 1851, and again in 1854 wan fined ss. and forfeiture of four measures, besides which he had been frequently cautioned. Sir W. Carden fined him 20s. and costs, and expressed a wish that none of his neighbours would deal with him MANSION-HOUSE.—Fi ancis Swift, an elderly, gentlemanly-looking man, was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of embezzling 86/. 12s. 6d., be longing to Messrs. Yates and Company of 95, Upper- Thames -street, to whom he was collecting clerk. Mr.' M. Young said—l am manager of the Rother halt Foundry Company, of which Messrs. Yates and others are partners. The prisoner was clerk and col lector to the firm, and it was his duty to collect such accounts as were given to him by mo for that purpose, and to pay to me such sums as he received upon the day on which'they were paid to him. On the 28th of June last I sent him to Messrs. Glover, Brothers, of Drury laoe, for 86/. 124. 6d. He has not accounted to me for Ott sum. He left the office on the 28th of June and never returned. Last night on meeting him in Cannon -street„-in custody of the officers, I asked him if be had any of the money in his pocket, when he replied that he had not. Mr. S. Glover—l am an engineer, carrying on busi- - L I •• ', ts. I ness at 168, Drury-lane. On the 28th of June last I paid to the prisoner a cheque on our bankers for 861. 12s. 6d. on account of the Rotherham Foundry Company, and he receipted the account produced. The cheque has been returned to us by our bankers as having been paid, and is charged in our account with them. The prisoner re quested that the cheque should not be crossed. The prisoner having been asked, after the usual cau tion, whether ho wished to say anything in answer to the charge, replied, " I did receive the cheque. I should like to see it. (The cheque was shown to him.) That is the one that I received." _ _ He was then fully committed for trial. . The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac knowledge the receipt of the following.iionation fur the poor-box :"A thank-offering from M. E.," 1/. CLERKENWELL.—A _man, who gave his name Edward Gosnell, of 2, Nine Elms, Vauxhall, applied to Mr. Corrie for his advice and assistance under the fol lowing circumstances. He said he had joined the Working Man's Emigra tion Society for the purpose of being sent out to South Australia, and had paid in the subscriptions regularly and the usual fees, to the amount.of upwards of 221., under the faith of being sent out by the society. He had a wife and six children, and had been in a respectable situation as an engineer and blacksmith for 20 years. He had been induced to believe he should he shipped out to Melbourne, and so gave a fortnight's notice to his employer to quit his situation. He had thrown him self out of work, and was with his family in comparative distress. He had been backwards and forwards from Vauxhall to the society's office in Bedford-street, Red Lion-square, but could not get his ship order, or his money returned to him, and at length lie received the following letter from Mr. Soper, the secretary : " Working Man's Emigration Society. -"Dear am instructed by the directors to inform you that there are not sufficient funds to send you and your family at present, but the directors are exerting them selves for that purpose as soon as possible, and will com municate with you.—l am, dear sir, yours respectfully. "R. C. SOPER." Mr. Corrie said that, a short time ago, Sir John Shel ley, Mr. Tubbs, and Mr. Franklin, the trustees, ap peared in this court, and promised that the society should be conducted fairly. Applicant—l applied to Mr. Franklin, who said he was a trustee to the society, but ho had nothing to do with the management of its affairs. Mr. Corrie said if it was publicly known that such a society had no funds parties would not subscribe to wards it, and.it must certainly drop. He then directed Mr. Moran, an officer connected with the court, to call at the society's office and suggest the necessity of Mr. Soper's attendance, in order to account for such extra ordinary proceedings. MATZLBOROUGH-STREET.—Mr. Henry JO7iPS, surgeon, residing at No. 23, Soho-square, was charged before Mr. Bingham with violently assaulting John Lawday, a conductor of a London and Brighton Rail way omnibus. . 'llw complainant, whose right eye was very much cut and swollen, deposed that on Sunday night the defen dant rode with him from London-briegc station to Ite genteircus, Piccadilly, where he got out, and refused to pay the fare, alleging as a reason that witness had told him he went along Holborn, and would put him down at Tottenham-court-road. Complainant explained to de fendant that he did not go that route. The defendant then attempted to go away without paying the fare, and witness prevented him, whereupon he (defendant) struck him several blows on the head and face. The defendant never mentioned to him about Tottenham-Court-road when be got into the " bus." When defendant tried to run away, ho caught him by the collar, and prevented him. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he Was at the London-bridge Station on Sunday night, when he heard the complainant and other con ductors calling out " Holborn, " " Oxford-street, " and " Eigeware-road, " and ho accordingly got into his " bus, " under the impression he was going to Holborn. On arriving at Regent's•ciicus he found he was deceived, and requested the conductor to let him out. The conductor would not let him go, and caught hold of him by the c,dlar, which so excited him that he might have struck him. He was very sorry at what had occurred, and had not the least intention of hurting the man. Mr. Bingham asked complainant whether it was true that he called out Holborn and Oxford-street ? Complainant said it was not. Mr. Bingham said he felt his powers as regards in flicting adequate punishment for such a serious assault, very small. Therefore, if complainant desired it, he world send the case to the quarter sessions. Complainant said ho should wish to have the case dealt with at once. Mr. Bingham then fined defendant 51. or two months' imprisonment. Mr. Jones immediately paid the fine, and left the court. Philip Peter, a middle-aged man, who refused to give his address, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with annoying the congregation at All Souls Church, Langha►n-place. The Rev. Charles Baines, rector of the above church, said—At 8 o'clock, on Sunday night, as he was about to administer the communion in his church, the defendant held out a book, and said, interrupting the proceeding, —"ln the name of Jesus Christ, brethren, I will tell you that what you are doing is a sacrifice to idols, and a profanation." Prisoner was told to desist, and when asked his name said, "Philip, surnamed Peter." Wit ness told him he had committed a serious offence, and that he (witness) would notwithstanding overlook it, if he would promise not to do so again. Defendant be hayed very quietly, but refused to make any kind of promise, and he in consequence gave him in charge. The defendant commenced to talk in an absurd strain, but was stopped by the magistrate, and was ultimately discharged, at the request of Mr. Baines, on giving a promise not to repeat the offence. MARYLEBONE —Thomas Stevens was charged with having stolen, at Trinity Chapel, John-street, Edgware road, the " poor box," containing silver and copper moneys, alleged to be the property of the Rev. R. Herschel. Eliza Stevenson, one of the pew openers, deposed that on the previous morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, whilst she was in the gallery she heard a noise on the stairs leading thereto, and on going to see what was the matter she saw the money box, which bad been wretched from its fastening, in the prisoner's hand. She called out thief, upon which he (prisoner) dropped the box and made off. The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK.— Was. H. Wild, a sworn broker, residing at 89, Vauxhall-walk, appeared before Mr. G. A. A'Beckett to answer the complaint of Rachel Emma Terry, for irregularities in distraining for rent. The complainant said—l occupied a room at No. 1, Gravel-lane, Southwark, up to Tuesday, the 3d of Oct. On that day I owed 10s. rent, and the landlord told me that unless I paid him he would put a broker in. I told him that I would pgy him at ls. per week, if he liked. He then said he would take that, if I gave him security. I went out to get the security, and when I returned I found the whole house empty, and all my little things gone. Louisa Carpenter said— I was left in the room by the last witness. I locked myself in. In a short tiwe the landlady opened the door with a key, and the broker (the defendant) walked in, and took the things. Mr. Nokes, the second clerk, here handed the magis• trate a paper having the appearance of an official document. Mr. A'Beckett, after perusing it a short time, said, addressing the defendant—This is a most curious and irregular paper ; who wrote it it Defendant—lt is the usual way we do things, and it was done by my man who I usually " put in" on such occasions. Mr. A'Beckett—ln this case I believe you acted irre gularly, and under the act I order you to return the goods on payment of the rent, from which 2s. must be deducted for the summons taken out against you. Defendant (much surprised)-1" must decline to do that. Mr. A'Beckett—Then if you decline to do that I must order you to pay the value of the goods in excess of seizure. (To complainant)—What do you value your goods at I Complainant—Why, sir, I could not replace them, al though they are poor things, under about 2/. I think it was every disgraceful thing for that man not only to take my furniture, but also my three little children's bread and butter ; also all my pawn tickets. Mr. A'Beckett—l think so too. He had no right to take such things. I will adjourn this summons ; and unless the goods are given up for Bs., I will inflict the penalty as the act directs.
