THE "COMING" CAPTURE SEBA_STOPOL WILL BE PUBLISHED IN AI EXTRAORDINARY EDITION "THE SUN" THE MOMENT THE EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE IS ISSUED, TOGETHER WITH A LIST OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Orders received by all News Agents, and at " THE SUN" OFFICE, 112, Strand, London. (~ \~ ~I '~, .~ 31,1 L LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1854. At length we are favoured with despatches from Lord RAGLAN. Even the missing one is forthcoming. It arrived on Saturday, having been only twenty-five days in transitu. More recent events, and the knowledge previously obtained of the proceedings during the two first days of the bombardment, had materially abated the interest that would have been excited in reference to these important events. The tidings, therefore, natu rally were rather fiat. A despatch is not made of keeping materials, where there are other sources of information open ; any delay ma terially abridges the excitement it is calculated to occasion. In one point, however, it always maintains its claim on public attention. The lists of killed and wounded will be eagerly scanned to look for names known to the reader, to ascertain whether friends or relatives are not included in the melancholy catalogue ; or, if their names should be found, whether they escaped with alight wounds only, or had the fatal marks, "severely," or " dangerously," or " killed," ap pended to their names in the Gazette Extraordi nary. The despatch of the 18th October, although late in arriving, relieved the anxieties of many, and was therefore eagerly scanned. But, in other respects, the despatches relating to the affairs of the 25th and 26th absorbed the public attention. It will be remembered that there were some ap parent discrepancies between the statements emanating from Prince MENSCIIIICOVF and Lord STItAM * DE RBDCLIFFE, and that attributed to General CAN - ROBERT, and the most intense anxiety to ascertain .the true state of the case prevailed on every a id e and among men of all ranks and classee in society. This very natural feeling has at length been gratified. Yesterday evening two despatches were received by the Duke of I%TinvcAsms from Lord RAGLAN, containing three others from Lord Lue.s.N, Sir COLIN CAIIPEZLL, and Sir DE LACY E vAN s, respectively, from whi c h we Can very clearly understand the true state of the case on the 25th and 26th ultimo, an d • distinctly know the amount of loss we have to deplore on thes e days--the former of which, we regret to _ say, proved exceedingly fatal to our light cavalry bri gade. Officers and men displayed a daring and desperate courage, which reflected the highest honour on those engaged in the fierce encounter. They must have known the onerous and dangerous nature of the duty they were ordered to discharge; they must have felt that many of their number would have remained on the field ; nay, more, bat they wereprobably tlae.viutiras Of a mistake(?); but the noble fellows hesitated not a single mo ment. They boldly undertook the desperate ser vice, and, knowing that the eyes of their com rades and their brave Allies were upon them, rushed cheerfully to almost certain death, extort ing even the admiration of the enemy, who, what ever they might have thought of our general ship (!), must have applauded the indomitable pluck and bravery of those actually engaged in the fearful eonflict. On the generalship we cannot greatly pride ourselves. First, there appears to have been a very unnecessary exposure of our men, the posi tion having been too far advanced, and not sup. ported with sufficient force. It certainly provoked an attack, which there was not sufficient power to repel. The points relinquished were not of much importance. On consultation between the French and English Generals, it was determined "to withdraw from the lower range of heights, and to concentrate the forces immediately in front of the narrow ♦alley leading into Balaklava, and on the precipitous heights on the right, thus affording a narrower line of defence." Lord RAGLAN also distinctly and unequivocally acknowledges that " the means of defending the extensive frontier occupied by the Turkish troops in the morning proved wholly inadequate ! ! !"—a fact which will speedily be recognised when we know that the defence of a spot repeatedly threatened by the enemy was en trusted to some raw Turkish levies, which had never previously smelt powder, and on whom, therefore, no reliance should have been placed. These Ottoman troops garrisoned four small re doubts hastily thrown up ; the only British regi ment in the plain was the 93d Highlanders— saving "part of a battalion of weakly men," and a battery of artillery belonging to the third divi sion. On the heights behind were the Marines landed from the Fleet. Such was the position of the Allies when, on the morning of the 25th, the Russians marched on to the attack. The Turkish recruits speedily yielded—a semblance of a struggle was maintained in one of the batteries, but those by whom the others were held, terrified by the fate of their companions, fled without a blow. As Lord RAG LAN tells us—the Russians " were opposed only in one, and that but for the very shortest space of time." " The farthest of the three forts they did not retain, but the immediate abandon ment of the others enabled them to take posses sion of the guns in them, amounting in the whole to seven. Those in the three lesser forts were spiked, by the one English Artillery man who was in each !" Such was the state of affairs when, encouraged by the first success, the Russian cavalry advanced, supported by artillery, in very great strength. The 93d were at once attacked, but they found in the gallant Highlanders a very different class of opponents from the untried Moslems, whom they had previously put to flight. Lord RAGLAN tells us that they were instantly driven back by the vigorous and steady fire of that gallant regiment. Another portion were " delivered into the hands" of the heavy cavalry, from whom, although far superior in numbers, they received a most decided and signal repulse. Lord RAGLAN describes the charge of the brigade as one of the most successful he ever witnessed, and. was never for a moment doubtful. Then came the deplorable part of the transac tion, arising mainly from a misconception (! ). It appeared that after the decided check given by the gallant 93d and the heavy cavalry, who charged in the enemy's columns and drove them into ignominious flight on every side, orders were given to follow the enemy in their retreat and prevent them from carrying off the guns they had taken. Unfortunately it was supposed that the order was to attack at all hazards, and it was boldly and energetically obeyed. Lord CARDIGAN made one of the most dashing charges on record— attacked and turned a battery that had been firing upon the advancing squadrons, and followed into the thick of the Russian cavalry in the rear. Here, however, the men found themselves opposed by overwhelming numbers—artillery, cavalry, and infantry were all at the same time falling on our gallant light division. They re tired, however, in good order, having inflicted very serious damage on the enemy; but, unfortu nately, sustained terrific loss themselves, which dimmed the triumphs of the day. We have a melancholy list of killed and wounded. The cavalry are the chief sufferers, there being no less than 13 officers, 16 serjeants, 4 drummers, 142 rank and file, 381 horses, killed ; 27 officers, 21 serjeants, 4 drummers, 199 rank and file wounded—while of the infantry there were 1 officer, killed ; 9 officers, wounded ; 3 serjeants, wounded ; 1 drummer, wounded ; 14 rank and file, killed ; 101 rank and file, wounded. These included, however, the loss during the brilliant repulse by General EVANS, and the troops under his command, of the Russian sortie. Lamentable as it is to recount this loss, we must perceive that it does not in any degree affect our ultimate prospects, which are at this moment as high as they have ever been. We have suffered severely, but we have shown that our brave fellows were, as they have ever been, nulli secundus. We have still later news from the Crimea, and some of a very important character. We had always believed that Sebastopol could not be taken until another regular battle had taken place with the enemy, and we had again proved our decided superiority in the field. This con flict is now decided. On the 4th instant all was ripe for storming Sebastopol. The French and English batteries were only 150 metres from the point of attack, when the Russians made another effort, which, as might have been anticipated, has completely failed. We hear from a despatch of the 6th inst., just received from General CAN ROBERT, by the French Government that the Russian army, swelled by reinforcements from the Danube and the Southern provinces, and in presence of the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, had attacked, on the sth November, the right of the English army bef ore Sebastopol. The English army, however, sustained the fight with remarkable firmness, and, supported by a portion of General Bosquet's division, f oug h t with admirable vigour ; and eventually th e enemy, far more numerous than they were, beat a retreat with enormous loss. The Russians must have lost 9,000 men. This stubborn battle lasted the whole day. Nor have our gallant Allies been idle. At the same time the dirision of General Forez repulsed the enemy. The French troops, energetically led by him, re pulsed th e enemy w ith a l oss o f 1,000 men. This brilliant victory has not been achieved without loss by the Allies, on whose arms it re flects the highest honour. We could not hope for a bloodless victory under such circumstances. But we may, on the failure of this last attempt, look forward to speedy intelligenc e of the fall of Sebastopol, and the fiuAl, triumph of the Allied AMIN LATEST NEWS. GREAT BATTLE THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13. 1854, An incessant fire of musketry was kept up against the em brasures of the Russian batteries. Deserters state that the number of killed in Sebastopol amounts to 5,000. Al though the rocky nature of the ground renders the works very difficult, the Allies were in hopes of being masters of the place before the end of 10 days.—The journal de Con stantinople estimates at from 4,000 to 5,000 the number of Russians put hors de combat before Balakla.va, and the loss of the Allies 1,500. The three last redoubts were re-taken on the 26th. The African Chasseurs distin guished themselves very much in that affair.—Ac counts from Asia state that the Russians were strength ening and increasing the fortifications of Bayazid in order to make that place their winter quarters. It was also reported that they were marching on Kars.—Mustapha Pacha had, while waiting the arrival of Ismail Pacha, proceeded with the reorganisation of the Turkish army, and had distributed clothing and amseu- Dillon among the troops. The enemy was expected. Com merce in Asia was paralysed by the numerous bands of brigands." "MAisszmr,us, th.—The aconnts brought by the Thabor positively state that 5,000 Russians had been made prisoners in a late battle. A letter from Sebastopol of the 28th states that the Generals-in-Chief after leaving a sufficient force in the trenches, had marched towards Balakhva with the hopes of destroying the corps of twenty thousand men under General Liprandi. The above two accounts appear to coincide. Two batteries of 32 guns, half belonging to the army and half to the fleet, were in course of construction on the 28th before the flag-staff bastion. These bat teries, which were at only 500 metres distance, were intended to enlarge the bre ac h es a l rea dy ma d e , an d would be completed by the 3d November. The new trench is at 250 metres from the place, and one branch of the trench would be carried to within CO metres. The Russian artil lerymen having been decimated by the fire of the Allies, the guns of the place are served by convicts. The southern quarter of Sebastopol has been almost entirely destroyed. Experienced military men were of opinion that the place would fall about the 10th." The Minister of Public Instruction and Worship has just sent to the prefects of departments and rectors of academies very detailed directions on the duties they will have to perform in execution of the law of the 14th June last, relative to primary instruction. The Minister has also sent copies of the directions to all the bishops, and has solicited their co-operation in carrying them out. The divisions o f Generals'Dulac and de Salles, who had been sent to the Camp of the South, have now received orders to embark at Toulon to rein force the army of the East. These two divisions are now probably on their way to the Crimea. The Conseil Imperial des Prises has just de cided that the capture of the Russian vessel Orione, effected whilst she was sailing under the Tuscan flag, by the Averne Government steamer, was a good and lawful one ; but by application of the Imperial declaration of the _29th March relative to neutrals, the cargo has been restored to a firm in the Netherlands who claimed it-Lon condition, however, of the freight and costs being paid. We have already stated that orders bad been given by the Government for the construction of four gun-boats on a new principle, at each of the four naval dockyards. We now learn that M. Nor mand, the well-known ship-builder at Havre, has also received orders to build four gun-boats on the same plan, thus making a total of 20. The steam engines for these boats are being made at Indrel. It has been stated that a thousand convalescent wounded soldiers had been brought back from the East to Marseilles in the Gauge and the Euphrate. They have been in general lodged in the buildings of the old lazaretto, but a certain number have been sent home to their families. General Rostolan has visited the lazaretto, and assured the men that all their wants shall be carefully attended to. The wounded are to be sent to Paris, and placed in the military hospital of the Val-de-Grace. After long hesitation, the Count de Morny has at length decided on accepting the office of Pre sident of the Legislative Corps. It was only yes terday that the affair was finally settled. The Count de Morny frequently declined tho place on account of the delicate state of his health, but the Emperor having pressed him as a personal favour to accept, he at length agreed to do so on the understanding that if he wished, he should be at liberty to resign in April next, in which case he will be appointed a member of the Cabinet sans portefeuille.

Through the kindness of W. 0. Ruggles, we aro able to give the particulars of the most heartrending and terri ble railroad disaster that ever occurred in America. He says a few minutes after 2 p.m. yesterday we left Nia gara Falls with the first class and two second class passenger cars, one express and one baggage car. After leaving Hamilton we were detained about midnight be tween Hamilton Afteran and a delayLo ndonof an ho ur we started and by a frei g ht eng i ne b e i ng on hetrack. reached London about six hours behi n d t i me. About three miles west of London the cylind er h ea d of our en gine burst, which delayed us two hour s . W e b acked down to London, took a new engine and started again for Wind sor. About one o'clock and about thirteen miles west of Chatham, on the Baptist Creek Flats, going about twenty miles an hour we came in collision with a grave l train of fifteen cars backing east. The collision was frightful in the extreme. Our locomotive was completely thrown over to the right, the express car thrown over and crushing the first and second class cars into mere splinters, demolishing the next and making a wreck of the third car and driving in the end of the fourth. The passengers in the last cars escaped unhurt or with slight bruises. Almost the en tire load of the second class cars were killed or wounded, some cut completely in two, others with mangled heads and bodies, and without limbs. The screams a n d groans of the mangled were awful in the extreme. Every effort was made by the conductor and passengers to relieve the totssuffeing ; but, not w ithstanding the almost su p er h uman effort relieve them, all were not extricated until more titan four hours sifter 'the collision. Among those whose exertions were conspicuous in saving the victims are Thos. F. Meagher and Junk, the baggage man, Mr. 0. A. Brown- F;012, and others of the passengers. Heaps of the dead and wounded were found in the ruins, piled together in all mangled shapes. Ono poor fellow was cut out of tho express car, his limbs hanging out of the side, fifteen feet from the ground. One of the strangest features of the accident is, that all the gravel cars were demolished and piled upon each other, with the tender of the engine stove in. The conductor of the gravel train was on the rear car, with his signal light, and a negro boy at his side. The conductor saved him self by jumping; the negro was killed. At the time of the collision there was a dense fog, it being almost impossible to see lights. Where the blame belongs in this awful catastrophe, we know not ; but there is gross and culpable negligence in the affairs of the road. The conductor of the gravel train says he was ordered out by the superintendent of the gravel pit. We ought to mention that on the third car from the rear, we had no light at the time of the collision and were is total darkness, nor had we anything but pieces of candl es stuck in t u b es at any time. Those had gone out at the time of the collision. The dead are lying around, and being mostly emigrants, their names cannot bo readily got ; but about fifty are killed outright, and many of the wounded must dig, of which there are about forty alive. There was one woman buried under a mass of ruins, and lay there over four hours before she was extricated. She must die. We were thirty-two miles from Detroit and thirteen from Chatham, the surrounding country for miles a vast swamp, and no aid or physicians at hand, which with the denseness of the fog, and frightful screams of the wounded for help and water, rendered it the most appal ling scene imaginable. It w a s heart s i c k en i ng .

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS WITH IMMENSE LOSS. PARIS, MONDAY, Nov. 13. The Minister of War has received the following despatch from Geueral Canrobert :-- " BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 6. " The Russian army, increased by reinforce ments from the Danube and from the southern provinces, and animated by the presence of the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, attacked yesterday the right of the English position before the place. " The English army maintained the battle with the most remarkable solidity, supported by a por tion of General B,osquet's division. " The enemy, much more numerous than us, was driven back with enormous loss, estimated at 8,000 to 9,000 men. " This obstinate struggle lasted throughout the whole of the day. "At the same time, on my left wing, General Forey had to drive back a sortie of the garrison. The troops led by him drove back the enemy into the town, with a 14ss ,of 1,000 men. " This brilliant feat of arms, which was not achieved without some loss to the Allies, reflects the highest honour upon our armies. " The siege continues regularly," VIENNA, SATURDAY, Nov. 11. The English Embassy has received an authen tic despatch from Varna, dated Sebastopol, Nov. 4th, in the morning, announcing that a general assault was to take place that day, everything being favourable. We have received the following from a Third Edition of the Morning Post : " We are in receipt of our correspondent's letters from the heights above Sebastopol. They are full of the most interesting details, from which we select a few of the most important. " The latest intelligence bears date Oct. 28th, at eight o'clock in the morning. The fact of chiefest importance, under this day's intelligence, is an announcement that the General Commanders of the Allied forces have determined on relinquishing Balaklava and shifting the point of com munication with the fleets to a bay nearer Sebastopol and immediately oppcsito the left wing of the French camp. " The details of the affair of the 25th impute the grossest cowardice to the Turks. It is declared that these men not only deserted the redoubts of which they were in charge, on the appearance of the Russian cavalry in their front, but they did so without giving due alarm to the forces in their rear of the approach of the enemy. " The Earl of Cardigan, on receiving the order to charge the enemy's cavalry, delivered by the hand of Captain Nolan, of the Quartermaster General's Department, met the advance of the enemy up an ascent of considerable sharpness, upon the top of which the redoubts deserted by the enemy were erected. Here the most disastrous car nage occurred. Lord Cardigan had his horse shot under him, and received a wound in his leg from a lance. " Captain Nolan was shot through the heart. " The 13th Light Dragoons returned from the charge with only 2 officers and 22 men. " The 17th Lancers were similarly destroyed. At roll call only 33 men answered, and 7 others come in after wards. "The remainder were either killed, wounded, or left unhorsed among the enemy. " The sending cavalry into such a position, unsupported by infantry or artillery, is considered to have been a dire mistake. Their destruction by superior numbers was inevitable. " The 93d Highlanders and the Royal Horse Artillery, repaired this check on their arrival ; but the enemy having formed on another hill opened fire from their guns, which the Scots Greys were ordered to charge. This regiment with its hereditary bravely; but after driving the enemy from their guns, was met by a murderous fire from in fantry concealed amongst the brushwood. "At 4 p.m. the battle ceased, and the two opposing armies faced each other, each apparently unwilling to re new the attack. " The force in the rear is said to consist of about 32,000 troups. "The attack of the 26th, which had evidently been ar ranged by the Russian commanders within and without Sebastopol, was most glorious in its results for the Allied forces. The artillery mowed down the enemy by hundreds. Two thousands killed and wounded were left on the plains. Not less than 600 dead bodies lay in a space not exceeding four English acres. " The officer who captured Lord Dankellin has been himself captured in turn. He is aremarkablo fine man of noble bearing. On his being brought in he was taken to the Duke of Cambridge's tent. "About 15 Russian officers have been taken. " The bombardment of the fortress continues. The high buildings within the walls are riddled with shot. " The French. Battalions are within 300 yards, and our own trenches ate not more than 400 yards from the wall. " Lieutenant Buller of the 57th has had his foot blown off in the trenches. " Jemmy Macdonald has nine lives. At Alma he had a horse shot under him ; at Balaklava he had another sfiot ; and his cocked hat was knocked off by the enemy without doing him serious injury." THE PRINCIPALITIES. VIENNA, FRIDAY, Nov. 10.—Prince Ghika made his entrance into Jassy on the 7th Nov. 60,000 Russians are concentrated in Bessarabia. Omer Pacha has been ordered to move imme diately into Moldavia, to commence operations against the Russians in Bessarabia. THE WAR IN ASIA. The Turks have taken up their winter quarters at Kars—the Russians, at Tiflis. GREECE. ATHENS, Nov. 3.—The cholera is raging violently. The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate House have been destroyed by fire. A Ministerial crisis is expected. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sunday, Nov. 12.---The Russian reply to the last Prussian note bas arrived. The Russian Cabinet does not unreservedly accept, but is dis posed to discuss, the four points as a basis for ne gotiations. - A letter from Berlin, of the Bth, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It is understood that M. de Bud berg has supported with his Government the Prus sian note of the 23d ult., and the more willingly that the four points mentioned in that document are only presented as the elements of conditions calculated to lead to peace. However, the present adhesion of Russia to these points could not have the importance which might be attributed to it, since the position of the Allied Powers has led these latter far beyond them, and could only be useful to the German States, which, in case of admission, would argue from them in favour of their neu trality." AUSTRIA. VIM , TNA, Friday, Nov. 10.— Baron von dor Pfordten left Vienna this morning. Prussia is apparently meeting the views of Austria. It is reported that Russia is willing to negotiate on the four guarantee points. The intended new levy of 80,000 to 100,000 men is temporarily postponed. The adhesion of Bavaria to the policy of Austria is believed to be secured. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Meniteur publishes the following : " BUCHAREST, Nov. 8. " Tho steam frigate Christophe Colomb, which loft the Crimea on the 4th, has brought the following intelligence to the French superior officer residing at Varna. The French batterie de breelte was only 150 metres from the point of attack, and had made a sufficient breach for the assault to be made on the 4th. " The English breach battery was at about the same distance from the place. • " Everything was favourable." The following private telegraphic despatches were received in Paris on Saturday MARSEILLES, 10th.—The Thabor brings letters from Constantinople to the 30th, and from the Crimea to the 28th. The trenches had beep, carried to within 250 metres from the fortifications of Sebastopol, and the firing at nigitt hpid beim resumed, as there was a bright moonlight' There are whole families killed, and we cannot ascertain their names. We are informed by R. P. Toms, Esq., of this city, who was also a passenger on the train at the time of the collision, that no blame can be attached to the engineer of the train, as ho had taken every precaution by tele graphing from one station to another, by waiting for trains to pass, and by the strictest orders to run very slow, to avoid any accident. The censure, he thinks, must rest solely with those in charge of the gravel train, and with the watchman left to give notice when the last train had passed, who, instead of attending to his duty, seems to have fallen asleep —at any rate he gave false information to the engineer. Why the gravel train was on the track at such a time is for those to explain who have thus caused this fearful loss of life. . Mr. Toms informs us that when he left the scene of the disaster, it had been ascertained that 25 men, 11 women, and 11 children had been killed, and 2L leen and 20 wo men and children badly inj ured—one-half probably fatally. It was thought that as many as 15 dead bodies were still buried in the ruins when be left. Oar reporter is now on the spot, and will furnish additional particulars, which we shall publish in en extra. Our citizens will rejoice to know that Mr. Toms, and a son of S. H. Holmes, Esq., who were on board, have escaped uninjured. 11 o'Clock.—There are about 50 dead and 35 wounded. Some whole families are killed, and no trace can be found of their names or residence. Everything is being done to alleviate the suffering of the wounded. Physicians have arrived on the ground from Chatham. G. V. Nutter, the conductor, is doing everything in his power for the dis tressed. BEALTII OF THE TROOPS BEFORE SEBASTOPQL. The French Minister of War has received from Doctor Michel Levy, the medical inspector to the army of the East, the following letter : "Before Sebastopol, Oct. 27. "Monsieur le Marechal, —The siege continues with vigour; nevertheless, the daily number of the wounded is not considerable it varies between 16 and 22, that of the killed between 6 and 8. From the commencement of the Liege to the 23d of October, the total number of the wounded, including the cases of simple contusions and slight wounds that aro the more numerous of the two, amoants to 718 ; that of the killed to 93. "On the 25th, 320 patients were draughted off to Con stantinople, and there remain up to this day 1,003 patients in the ambulances ; out of this number, only 137 are wounded. Thus the medical service is more important, even under the fire of the Sebastopol batteries, than the service of the surgeon. I have visited those ill, each in suc cession, and I have ascertained :—That one-third only are of a grave nature ; that the t o remaining thirds are men in a weak state, and perfectly certain of being cured in a short time. The General-in-Chief has ordered the requisite measures for improving, as much as possible, the position of our sick; the wounded Turks are tended in our ambu lances. " I visit the ambulance at the trenches as often as possi ble. It is attended in turn by the health officers of the various ambulances of the army. This service, which is not without danger, is a post of honour, and a bloody school of military surgery. Our wounded, and those operated upon, continue to exhibit a remarkable pro portion of cures, thanks to the attention they have lavished on theut, - and to the talent of the operators, among whom Messrs. Scrive, Thomas, Marmy, Goaury, Secourgeon, Perier, Bourguillon, Colmant, &c., are dis tinguished. .. "Never did army receive more prompt and methodical, more complete and assiduous, attention from its phy sicians and surgeons. Before Sebastopol, as at Constan tinople, a group of talented men l a b our f or th e good of the sick and wounded. Ambulances stationed on the table lands overlooking Sebastopol, amid the roar of artillery, recall by their regularity and the good order prevailing in and around, the best types of these flying establishments. " Not one single case of cholera nor of lock-jaw has taken place as yet among the wounded. The internal maladies are cases of diarrhoea, of dysentery not very violent, of slight intermittent fevers, and of gastric fevers some of them being accompaniedwith cerebral symp• toms ; the cold of the night has produced a few instances of bronchitis. In the navy there have been from five to six hundred scorbutic attacks, and those most severely affected have b een l au d e d . There is nothing of the sort in the army and the daily distribution of fresh bread, the very frequent distributions of fresh meat, remove all further danger from this manifestation. The spirit of the army is well calculated to keep scurvy at a dis tance. Notwithstanding the night duties in the trenches and certain privations, the soldier preserves his ala crity. The General-in-Chief is indefatigable in evincing his anxiety on their account, and the certainty of speedy triumph is also an element in the preservation of health. " I have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) "Dr. MICHEL LEVY." RUSSIAN NEWS FROM THE CRIMEA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3. The following was issued yesterday in an Extra ordinary Supplement of tho Invalide Russe : " In order to complete the hasty narrative of Oct. 25, we (Invalide Russe) give lower down the detailed report of General Liprandi, chief of the 12th division of infantry, respecting the same affair. Together with this report, which was transmitted to him by A. D. C. General Prince Menschikoff, H.M. the Emperor received the Turkish flag and pennon, of which mention is made therein. " From the 25th to the 27th inclusive, the enemy under took nothing against the position occupied in his rear by the detachment of Lieutenant-General Liprandi. During these same days, the fire of the English batteries against Sebastopol had been much weaker than on the preceding days. The French batteries still kept up a tolerably heavy canronade, but, as before, did not inflict on us any impor tant damage. Our artillery replied with such success, that a now battery raised on the 23d by the French, at about, 200 sagenes (1,400 feet) from the bastion No. 4, and in tended to hold about 30 gun-, could not be armed before the 27th, in consequence of the murderous fire of grapo from the said bastion. GENERAL LIPRANDI'S ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHTING. "According to the orders of your Highness, the troops of the division confided to my command, together with those attached to it, executed, on the 25th of October, a general movement in advance from the village of Teller goun, and attacked the fortifications of the heights that form the valley of Kadykol. " In conformity with the disposition I had made the evening before for this day, all the troops of the detach ment left the village of Tehorgotin at five o'clock in the morning, by two defiles. The regiment of the Ukraine chas seurs, under tho command of Major-General Levouteky, marched through the main defile leading from Tchorgonn to liadykoi, with four guns of the heavy gun battery, No. 4, and six guns of the light battery No. 7. These troops advanced ‘ with precision, and on approaching the heights of Kady koi opened their fire against the redoubts Nos. 1 and 2 ; after them, the Azoff regiment of foot, the 4th battalion of the Dnieper Regiment, with four guns of the battery of position No. 4, and six guns of the light battery No. 6, moved on under the command of Major-General Semiakine. Along the second defile, leading to the valley of Baidar, ad vanced, under the command of Major-General Gribbe, the first three battalions of the Dnieper Regiment of foot, with six guns of tho light battery No. 6, fourguns of the battery of position No. 4, a sotnia of the regiment No. 53 of the Don Cossacks, and a squadron of the combined regiment of lan cers. Major-General Gribbe, advancing, occupied the village of Kamari, after sending the sotnia of Cossack s i n th e direc tion of the valley of Baidar. Simultaneously with this movement, Major-General Semiakine went into position to the left of the Ukraine regiment, under cover of the fire of the artillery and of a train of sharpshooters, formed by the second company of the Rifle battalion, with the men armed with rifles belonging to the Azoff regiment, and ad ranced rapidly with this latter regiment in two lines by columns of companies, with no more than a distance of 100 paces between the lines. The 3d line was formed by the Ist battalion of the Azoff regi ment, and the 4th battalion of the Dnieper regiment, in attacking columns. Having approached within a distance of not more than 150 paces the fortified height of the enemy, Major-General Semiakine ordered the assault. The companies threw themselves forward, and by half-past seven o'clock the Azoff regiment had planted its colours on the fortifications. The trophies at this spot wero three rampart guns and a camp. In this redoubt the loss of the enemy in killed alone was more than 170 men. "At the same time the enemy, seeing the rapidity with which the principal height had been occupied, and also seeing the Ukraine regiment of chasseurs advance, aban doned the redoubts Nos. 2 and 3 (the former armed with two guns and the latter with three), which were imme diately occupied by our troops. The Odessa regiment of chasseurs, with the light battery No . 7, under the com mand of Colonel Scuderi, marched up to the redoubt No. 1; but the terrified enemy at this spot also did not wait for our attack, and abandoned the redoubt, in which there were three guns. Moreover, in all the redoubts the enemy left his tents, powder magazines, and engineering tools. " Immediately after the taking of the redoubts, I or• dered the troops to establish themselves in them. I had the redoubt No. 4 razed immediately, because it was too far in advance, and T ordered the guns in it to be spiked, the wheels of their carriages to be broken up, and the frag ments thrown down the mountain. When these orders were executed, the troops that had occupied this redoubt joined the general line of the other corps. "The hussar brigade of the 6th Light Cavalry division, under the command of Lieut.-General Ryjoff, who accom panied the detachment was posted_ ()lithe right wing ofour general line of battle, with the light horse battery No. 12, and the Cossack battery of position No. 3. During the forward movement of the troops the artillery of the Don was brought rapidly up in front, and, being placed in posi tion, contributed by its well-directed fire to the success of the general attack. " When all the redoubts had been occupied, I sent on the cavalry, with the regiment No. 1 of the Ural Cossacks, and three sotnias of the regiment No. 53 of the Don Cos sacks, towards the enemy's camp, situated on the other side of the mountains. Our cavalry advanced rapidly as far as the camp itself ; but, received by a flank fire from the enemy's sharpshooters, and In front by the English cavalry, it was obliged to halt. After that it resumed its first position on the right wing of the general order of battle, taking up a patibulated form behind. " Then Major-General Jabokritsky, with a detachment of the Vladimir Regiment of Foot (three battalions), and that of Souzdal, ten guns of the battery of position No. 1, four guns of the light battery No. 2 of t he 16th brigade of artillry, two companies of the rifle battalion, No. 6, two squadrons of the Hussar regiment of the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, and two sotnias of the regiment No. 60 of Popoff's Cossacks, marched to the heights on the right of our cavalry, and occupied them. " Hardly had our cavalry had time to form in battle array beyond the right flank of our infantry, when, from the other side of the mountain, where the redoubt No. 4 was, the English cavalry appeared 2,000 strong. Its impetuous attack induced Lieutenant-General Ryjoff to fall back on the road to Tchorgoun, in order to draw on the enemy. At the s :me time I sent forward towards my right wing the combined regiment of Lancers under the command of Colonel Yeropkine, which had arrived from Baidar, and joined the detachment of Major-Gene ral Gribbe, and I ordered this regiment to station itself behind the infantry in a covered place. The enemy made a most determined charge, and, notwithstanding the well-directed fire of grape from 6 pieces of the light battery No. 7, and that of the men armed with rifles be longing to the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, a nd of a com pany of the 4th battalion of rifles at the right wing, as likewise the fire from a part of the artillery of Major- General Jabokritsky's detachment, ho dashed at our cavalry. But at this moment three squadrons of the combined regiment of Lancers attacked him in the flank. Thisunexpected charge, executed with precieion and vigour, met with brilliant success• the whole of the enemy's cavalry was dashed lieaddog baciiu disorder, pursued 1:17 our Lan-, • cers, and harassed by the fire of tho batteries. In this at tack the enemy had more than 400 men killed, GO wounded men were picked up from off the field of battle, and we made 22 prison ers , one o f w h om was a superior officer. "A French squadron of African horse chasseurs charged the detachment of Major-General Jabokritsky. Having turned the left flank of the battery of position, it forced its way as far as this battery through the chain of sharp shooters, and began to cut down the artillerymen. Other squadrons followed close behind it. Then, two battalions of the Vladimir regiment, under the com mand of Major-General Jabokritsky in person, charged with the bayonet, and compelled the enemy's cavalry to fall back, when it was pursued to the very foot of the mountain by the well-directed fire of the foot Cossacks of the Black Sea, who were armed with rifles, and by that of the sharpshooters. More than ten dead bodies and several horses remained on the field, we made three pri soners, and the officer who had commanded the attack was killed. " Observing that the enemy was beginning again to bring up fresh troops to his left wing, I strengthened my right wing, and arranged all the troops of my detachment in the following order : " A battalion of the Dnieper Regiment occupied the village of Kamary ; the Azoff regiment of in fantry, and the Ist battalion of the Dnieper regiment were charged with the defence of the redoubt No. 1 ; battalion of the Ukraine regiment of chasseurs was left in the redoubt No. 2, and another battalion of the same regi ment in that of No. 3, near which were likewise placed the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, two battalions of the Dnieper regiment, and one battalion of that of the Ukraine chasseurs. All the artillery was placed in advantageous positions ; the cavalry remained as before on tho right flank of the infantry; nevertheless, the enemy made no fresh attack, and ceased its cannonade at four o'clock in the afternoon. " In the storming of so strong a position, I consider our loss in infantry to be very insignificant ; that in the ca valry was more important. The annexed list has been rapidly drawn up concerning this subject.* " I am indebted for the success of this day to the zeal and skilful dispositions of the respective chiefs, as likewse to the courage and ardour of all the troops. More parti cularly Major-General Semiakine, chief of the Ist brigade of the division entrusted to my command, and, under his orders, Colonel Krudener, commanding the Azoff regiment of foot, who were ordered to attack the strongest redoubt No. 1, situated on a very steep height, personally set an ex ample of courage and military skill. The attack by the Azoff regiment of foot was made with boldness, celerity, and decision. The 2d company of the 4th battalion of rifles, under the command of Second Captain Kalakoutsky; 6 guns of the light battery No. 6, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Afanassief ; and 4 guns of the battery of position No. 4, commanded by Lieut. Posnikoff, which accompanied this column, acted with precision and celerity thereby contributing to the taking of the height. "When the enemy's cavalry charged, and while we were repulsing it, eight guns of the light battery No. 7, which were near the Odessa regiment of chasseurs, and which were directed by Captain Bojanoff in com man d of the bat tery, inflicted very severe loss on the enemy's cavalry by the precision of their grape-fire. "All the operations by the artillery of the 12th brigade of this arm, directed by Colonel Nemoff, commander of the brigade, were crowned with brilliant success . " Staff Colonel Guersivanoff, and the A.D.C. of your Highness, Baron Willebrandt, whom your Highness sent to me, and who were at my side during the whole com bat, have rendered me very useful assistance, transmitting with the greatest exactness all my orders to the troops that were in the first line. " With the present report, I have the honour of present ing to your Highness the Turkish flag and pennon taken in redoubt No. 1." * This list contains 6 officers and subalterns, and 232 men killed; 1 general, 19 superior officers and subalterns, and 292 men wounded. THE FRENCH FUNDS. From a leter dated Paris, Saturday evening, we extract the following :—" There has been a further fall to-day. It must not, however, be imagined that the fear of adverse news from the Crimea is the sole cause of the decline. The numerous party whose profit depends on a fall, seize the opportunity of the general agitation to circulate reports of the most alarming description ; and unfortunately they find the public but too credulous. At one moment we hear that the French Treasury is au sec, and that the Government is on the eve of contracting a loan of 600 millions of francs ; at another, we are told of an extraordinary levy of 150,000 men ; and a third group of alarmists dwell on the critical situatimp of the Allies, in consequence of the numerous reinforce ments advancing in aid of Prince Menschikoff. It need scarcely be said that the object of circulating these rumours is simply to produce a panic. It is very probable that the French Government will soon require to raise ex traordinary supplies, but the fact is foreseen, and the rea son being obvious, it creates neither surprise nor alarm. As to the calling out of troops, I believe that there is no thing yet determined on, but still the fact is exceedingly probable, for the French army is not yet on what is consi dered a war footing." COMPULSORY PRE-PAYMENT OF LETTERS AND NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BRITISH FORCES IN TURKEY AND THE BLACK SEA. GENERAL POST-OFFICE, Nov., 1854. Letters addressed to officers serving in the British army or navy in Turkey or the Black Sea, the writers of which have neglected to pay in advance the British and French rates of postage chargeable for their conveyance in the closed mails despatched from London on the 3 4 , 9th, 13th, 19th, 23d, and 29th (or 30th) of every month, have hitherto been forwarded by the French mail packets with the ordinary unpaid correspondence for Constan tinople: Much difficulty, however, having been experienced in the delivery of those letters, arid in the collection of the postage to which they are liable, no letters addressed to the army or navy in Turkey or the Black Sea will hereafter be sent from this country, unless the postage be paid in advance. Letters posted unpaid will be opened and returnoi to the writers. The following are the combined British and French rates of postage chargeable upon this correspondence " For a letter, addressed to an officer in the British army or navy, or to a non-commissioned officer or private soldier or seaman in Turkey or the Black Sea Weiging under 4 ounce, 3d. Weighing 4 oz. and under 1 oz., 6d. Exceeding oz. and not exceeding 1 oz., ls. Exceeding I oz. and not exceeding 2 oz;., Is. 2d. Exceeding 2 ozs. and not exceeding 3 ozs., ls. 4d.

French postage for every 31 ounces. The existing regulations which have been already no tified to the public require that postage, at the rate of Two Pence for each Paper, should be paid in advance upon Newspapers addressed to the Army or Navy in Turkey or the Black Sea ; but, as many newspapers so addressed continue to be posted unpaid, particular attention is called to the circumstance that, in all cases where the requisite amount of postage is not prepaid, th e news papers, instead of being sent forward in the closed mails via Marseilles are detained in this country, until an opportunity offers of despatching them by a ship of war or other ship in the service of her Majesty. The Countess Annesley left the Cottage, Castlewellan, on Friday, for London. The Hon. Charles Murray, C. 8., the new minister to the Shah of Persia, is expected to leave town at the close of the week, via the overland route, to assume Ins diplomatic duties at Teheran. The new envoy has had several conferences with Lord Aberdeen and Lord Cla• rendon during the last few days. The youthful Lord Walter M.

DEPARTURE OF THE CANADA.—On Saturday, at noon, the British and North American Royal Mail steam•ship Canada, Captain James Stone, sailed from the Mersey, for Boston and Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States and British North American possessions, 121 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on freight. THE MISSING DESPATCHES.—The despatches were, it now appears, lost at Lyons by Lieutenant Henderson. . _ INCREASE TO THE MlLlTlA.—instructions will be immediately sent from the Home-office for the embodi ment for permanent service of either seven or eight additional regiments of English militia. There are al ready eighteen regiments embodied, and the additional force will render available for active service, if neces sary, a number of efficient regiments of the line now in the Mediterranean.

Mr. Melville is a gentleman of moderate Liberal politics, and a member of the Free Church. He has served in the Town Coun cil for a:number of years, and was for two years in the magistracy. THE TRANSPORT OF WOUNDED TO SCUTARI.—The story about 1,500 men having been "huddled on board" the Kangaroo transport, where " hundreds died," turns out to be a misrepresentation. We have received letters which prove that the deaths on board the Kangaroo, and another transport towed by her, did not exceed 35, out of a total strength of SOO, not 1,500 ; and that the deaths were not from wounds, b u t f rom cholera ; and the men would most likely hare died on shore bad they been left behind.—Medical Times and Gazette. QUEEN'S PLATE AT THE CURRAGH.-- By order of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Master of the Horse to her Majesty, the following alteration has been made in the Queen's Plate, usually run for on the Thursday of each September meeting at the Curragh :—Two-yr-olds in future to carry 6st three-yr-olds, Bst 101 b ; 3lb to roArep and geldings, Ono mile and a half, Al ON Li: Y - MA RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, in cluding 500 American, taken on speculation. The market closed heavily with but little change in prices. The sales comprised 50 Pernam and Ma ranham at 61d., 500 Egyptian at 5/d. to 9d.; 800 Surat at 31d. to 3id., 100 Sea Island at 9d. to is. 3d. and the remainder American. Railway Shares were very depressed. The price of wheat in Mark Lane was 3s. to 4s. per quarter higher than on Monday last. The accounts from New York record a diMinu tion in the shipments of specie during the week to Oct. 27, the amount exported being 152,817 dols. This, together with the value of the merchandise shipped, was 1,395,021 dols. Notwithstanding this falling off, this total is very little below the value of the imports during the same period. The foreign trade was limited, and if it continued so for a few weeks, the old stocks would nearly be cleared from the markets. The market for " fancy" securities was depressed, and money tight, owing to the contraction on the part of the banks. Breadstuffs were rather lower, and freights firm. In a statement from Berlin, a rumour is men tioned that the Government was about to exercise its powers for taking up the second portion of the loan, 15,000,000 dollars. As, however, then, are said to be 10,000,000 dollars of the first portion of the loan still unappropriated, the rumour is be= lieved to be premature. Hamburg accounts affirm that the best under standing existed between Russia and Prussia, and that the Cossack detachments stationed on the side of Tilsit to suppress contraband had been withdrawn, and replaced merely by a few hussars. The postal service between the Aland Islands and Finland was re-established on the 28th ultimo, and a large quantity of staples much required was being introduced. The Russian authorities had not re-established themselves at Bomarsund, but notice had been given that the civil authorities were about to return. The English funds have been very buoyant; and have recovered, almost entirely, the severe depres sion of Saturday, occasioned by the new version of the affair of the loth ult.
