'borings, at great expense, by the Oahe of Works. The
roofs continually let in the wet, and are perpetually amine
repair. The wall of one of the largest houses having
bulged, it became necessary to take it down as far as the
second floor, and rebuild tt, and to lighten the structure
altogether by removing the Masks of chimneys and au iron
crane erected in 1854, and to pin up &bewails. Afterwards
another wall bulged, and the arches which supported it
gave way, requiring immediate steps to be taken to lighten
it and pin it up ; and the ataircses sunk half a foot. And
last year the parapets towards Chancery-lane, being dan-
gerous to passers by, had to be renewed. The documents
in these houses are closely packed upon racks reaching from
the ground to the ceiling, and ranging from one end of the
rooms to the other, with narrow purges between."

The Montenegrins were immediately attacked
by two columns of the Turkish troops, by whom
they were dislodged from their position.
They then made a retreat through the villages
of Upper and Lower Martinich, Retina, Choupina,
Gliziza, Ponsiesi, and Glivitra.
The houses and towers of these villages, being
built of stone, became for the Montenegrins so
many fortresses, which were, however, successively
stormed and taken by the Turkish troops, in the
midst of the flames kindled by the Montenegrins
themselves on their retreat.

Although the Montenegrins bad in the meantime
been reinforced by eleven companies of 100 men
each, they were forced to give way before the
Turks, who pursued them into the mountains.
The Montenegrins left 500 dead on the field, ex-
clusive of those they were able to carry away with
them. The number of their wounded is estimated
at 1,000.
The Turkish loss amounted to 57 killed and
137 wounded, among whom waa Moustafa Bey,
staff colonel.

The number of houses and towers burnt was 890,
including 400 huts.
The loth was a day of rest, during which the
Turks celebrated their victory. The following day
they continued their marsh.
