The Express.
London, England, 1855-10-08 00:00:00

after the hoer for divine savvier. The AUumlaut; ap-

pear to have seen the regiment pending, as the men
fell in on the tet race in front of one of the large
white buildings which they occupied as their
barrack. Some shells were thrown, and one,
penetrating the roof, lodged in the room converted
into a surgery. Assistant-Surgeon Teevan and an

.
orderly were in the apartment, and had just time to
make their escape before the shell exploded. Neither
was injured. As no good purpose was effected by
exposing the troops to this fire, the 3rd Buffs marched
back to their old posicioit near the 2nd Division to-
day. The French have kept up a harassing fire, day
and night, against the Russians on the north side.
In addition to a large pile of buildings, supposed to be
storehouses, another detached shed, also seeming to
be connected with the commissariat, has been set
on fire.

The convoys of waggons are not observed moving,
as they used to do. in the daytime, towards the depots
of stores below the Star Fort ; and the working par-
ties and troops on the march keep much higher
towards the crest of the line of mountains forming
the north aide, instead of moving along the lower
road near the cliff.. The tents, moreover, seem
diminished in number, but the camp on the Inter-
mann heights remains as extensive as ever.
It is singular that so few accidents have occurred
in the town and suburbs, and among the deserted
fortifications, from the mines and magazines left by
the enemy, and arranged to be exploded. Fresh
magazines were discovered daily, until the lut three
days, with traits :aid, and everything prepared for
explosion. No casusity from them occurred, how-
ever, and the quantity of gunpowder secured from
these sources is enormous. A few men have been in-
jored by treading on foogeases, but the number in-
jured by these has been remarkably small, both
among the French and ourselves.
Mejor•Generel Markham has been suffering a
gnash from rheumatism and general illhealth that k
b feared he will be compelled to leave the army be
the Geld for a time. When first ordered to join the
UN in the East under Lord Raglan, General Mu►
here was in the north-western provisoes of India. Tft
amply with the order he travelled by rapid
journeys, and on his way met with a
=Anus injury in consequence of the upsetting of Me
seaveyance, and receiving a severe kick fee• a loess
ta the chest, which fractured some ribs. The Dental
was too earnestly bent on the °lied of his journey
to adopt the necessary means of care for this hurt,
and in consequence of absence of proper attention on
this occasion his health appears to have suffered.
He has been ailing ever aisee he reached
the Crimea, but it is fully expected that 11
after a few weeks' rest and care he will'.
have regained health and strength sufficient to en-
able him to resume duty. Brigade-Major W. F.
Pubs, 47th Regiment, who, while doing duty with
Ile Ind brigade of the 2nd division, was wounded in
ths head at the stunk of the Redan, is lying in a very
premolar state, and not expected to live. Brevet
Major Remnant Chapman, 20th Regiment, doing
duty as acting engineer, died at the siege-
train of the left attack oa the 20th in-
stant. He received a wound in the knee.
He was nephew to Lieutenant-Colonel Edward
Chapman, Royal Engineers, whose name has been
so intimately associated with the engineering opera-
tions on the left, and was residing with him at the
time of his death. Captain Halsted Poole, 23rd
Regiment, has also sunk from the effects of his wombs
which were of a very serious character. He wee sap•'
pond at first to have been killed, as be was not found
till the morning alter the assault. Asa general rule
the wounded are reported to be going on remarkably
