hitting; some of the me whom they see to be working

kept up a very active fire against the Freon, Inksa
moo, and other redoubts east of the Careening Bay
ravine. The enemy has opened a new six-gun
battery on the north aide, at a higher elevation,
though more distant, than the 12-gun battery, which
is on the verge of the cliff above tae Whew. The
ax-pa work is more to the west, and is .coated
with the otter works of the large Star fort, new their
mistiaastorn angle. The Fraser hue sommenced a
new work still nearer to the water of the smith bar-
beer than the small five-gun work which the Rea

and Volbynia redoubts. It is on the
esteem and of the forming the right side of the
Consideg port. It appears to be amnia fir a
meter battery, to act against the shipping. The
sway have been making spade' sedeavours to in-
terrupt the pogrom of this work, apparently under
the lmpreasioa that working parties were still within
it. Colima shells have been thrown from the
Italian batteries on the west side of the Careening
poet, and some of the guns on the north side have
been directed spied it. One allies appear also to
be preparing the Roman 6-gen work for use spinet
the harbour, bat there are no guns within yet.
Lindland Edmund Woodford, of the Second Bat-
taw, Rids Brigade, was wounded by a fragment of
shell early in the afternoon, and died about three
boars afterwards. Ho WIN lying, with Captain Fel-
low and Lieutenant Serwen of the same regiment, in
a post of the advanced work of the right attack.
They were in a group close together, when the
fragment fell from above, the shell having buret high
in the air. Lieutenant Woodford only was struck.
He was eseried up to camp, but the in was too
extensive for any hope to be held out of ' life being
saved. The casualties among the men have been
more numerous than usual during the last twenty-
four hours.
Jay 1. It has been decided that ono of our new
batteries, intended to act against the Riunian ship-
ping with long pas, has been placed in an injudi-
cious position. It will be available for use, however,
as a mortar battery, and orders have been given thai
it should be converted into a work of that nature.
We have lent two Lancaster guns to the French, for
an advanced battery on the right of the Hameln.

Oa Saturday kat, a chivalrous incident occurred o
the pert of the Gamy, which deserves acknowledging
titration. Abed soon, a flag of truce was hoisted
from Fort Coarmatiae, and a boat sent out under it
to the Royal Albert, carrying the swords of Sir John
=and Oaissiel Yea, who were killed in the
at the Rees. Os the day of that affair, the
