and anal charge was made, With w:‘l, the outburst of cheers
which greeted the banners of the Allies as they waved iron
the Rustiest works. Daring a considerable porit,n of the
attack, however, the spectators knew of what was
' panting in the trenches or before them, as a thick vtil of
nuke effectually shut them out from the view ; and when
the whole affair was at an Ind, hundreds were quite et a
loge to know whether the Idaultlos bad been captured or
not.
The attack was well arranged, and the effect was occa-
sionally very striking ; but, it ii to be regretted, that an
accident occurred. Jitet as the Mutation was suppoud to
be captured, the stage erected for the advance gave way
beneath the weight of the soldiery, many of whom
were precipitated to the ground a distance of twelve
Or fifteen feet, and in the fall a sergeant of the Grenadiers
sustained a compound fritetwo 4,1 the leg; another man
was taken up insensible from internal injury; a tkird had
• bayonet run through his check; and, in addition utiles*
injuries, there were many dislocation', sprains, and eol3tth
Wane; the greater part of the vest company of spectators
being all the while ignorant of the occurrence of any such
catastrophe. Every exertion was made to assist the injured
by direction of the officers in charge, and by 12 o'clock
about 26 men bad been conveyed, in cake or on stretchers,
' to the military hospital in Rubuter.row, Westminster,
where several eargeoastestdbg la the seighbeeeiteei he►
tend to give their assistance to the resident medical officer.
Upon inquiring at toe hospital, we were informed that no
case was likely to end fatally, but that it was impossible
accurately to state the extent tit the injuries iefLoted until
to-day.
At the close of the attack tie usual amusements pro-
ceeded at high pressure ; and Cremorne was never perhaps
seen to greater advantage than was the cue last night.

The weather here is very floe. The attendance of town

not tempt the buyers. Wheat was sold at 3d. per bushel,

THE WAR.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to make some observa-
tions with a view to elicit from the government a declaration
that during the mess they would prosecute the war with
the utmost vigour; and he did so because he saw a great
deficiency as yet in the exertions made for the prosecution
of the war.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the suggestions of the
hoe. and gallant member should receive every consideration
from the givernment. The efforts for the prosecution of
this war were far greater than those made for the last war.
After some unimportant questions,
The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar and
summoned the Speaker to the House of Lords.
The SPEAKER accordingly left the house, end was
absent about half en hour. On his return, he read the
speech at the table, and then took leave of the members
present.
The hones broke up shortly before three o'clock.

This morning, from inquirie a made at St. George's Hoe-
pits), Grosvenor•place, Hyde•park-oorner, of the medical
gentlemen, Mr. C. Hawkint, Mr. Phipps, house•surgeon,
and Mr. Gunning, we are happy to state that the five sol-
diers, who were considered to be the most severely injured,
an progressing as favourably as possible, and great hopes
are entertained of their ultimate recovery. The following
UV the names and nature of their injuries :—Jolen Craw-
ley, aged 20 years, Artilleryman, bayonet wound in the
arm, resides at the camp at Woolwich ; John Colville, ditto,
ditto ; James Sergeant, 23 years of age, Artillerymen,
wound on head, arms, and hand, resides at Woolwich;
William Stone, aged 26 yearn, injuries of body, Grenadier,
St. George's Barracks ; Wm. Sharp, aged 22 years, both
legs broken. Upon inquiring at the Military Hospital, in
Rocheater•row, Westminster, only seventeen were taken
there, but the injuries they have received are bruises, and
they are all doing well.

FETE AT CREMORNE.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE MILITARY.

Last night Cremorne Gardens were the scene of a
grand fete, in aid of the Wellington College, established
for the children of our soldiers who may fall during the
war. The charge of admission was raised from Is. to
notwithstanding which the assemblage was much
more numerous than upon ordinary occasions. Extensive
preparatiens had been made to give due iclat to the pro-
, ceediogs ; tl•e programme, in addition to the attractions
ordinarily held out, including the attendance of to less than
six regimental bands, together with that of 500 soldiers, and
three battering trains, to take part in the "Attack on the
Mamelon Vert, and Capture of the Me Pits," a feat ar-
ranged to commence at nine o'clock, and anxiously antici-
pated by the hundreds of gentlemen and ladies
who bad paid an extra two shillings for reserved
seats, or one shilling for reserved standing places.
It was, however, nearly ten before the officers in command
gave the signal of attack. Sebastopol itself wee very well
represented by a bugs panoramio painting, extending, per
baps, about 40 yards, the Mapleton being separately repre-
sented in advance, with real trenches, protected by fasciae@
and and•bags in frost of all, and well lined with soldiers of
tho "red, white, and blue." The "battering trains," it
mast be contested, if not altogether of an apocryphal
nature, were of very modest pretensions, fur it was seldom
that anything louder than tho sharp crack of the rifle was to
be distinguished in the wile, alth:ugh the 500 soldiers
were no doubt present upon the ground, and, sufficiently In-
preened with the gravity of the events in which they were
called apoli to take part, resolved to conquer, if
fate so willed It, or perish in the attempt. Hence
Owe was a profs** expenditure of gunpowder,

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A SAILOR AT
SHADWELL.

ThM morning Mr. W. Biker, jun., the deputy
. . . •

coroner, received information from Mr. Rogers, the sum-
moning officer of Bt. Paul's, Shadwell, respecting the death
of a mariner, named George Smith, aged 43 years, who was
found dead in the River Thames, off New Crane-wharf,Wap-
ping•wall, under this most mysterious and suspicious cir-

It appears that the deceued, who always enjoyed good
health, belonged to the bng Jenny, of Whitby, Yorkshire,
which reached the Pool on Saturday last, when the crew
were allowed to go on shore. Several remained from the ship
till yesterday morning,w hen deceased was missed, but shortly
after daybreak a waterman ducovered the body of the unfortu-
nate man lying on the causeway at the ferry stairs, facing the
brig, which was then moored midstream. The deceased

was quite dead, and there were marks of were violence on
the head, which had recei.ed an incised wound several
inches in length. The body was placed in a shell and given
into the charge of the beadle, who called the nearest
surgeon (Mr. Handy), and that gentleman, on making an

examinatioa of the deceased, amid death had no doubi- re-
sulted from the extensive injury on the right side of the
head, which was produced by violence. The deceased
had not died from drowning. He was seen late on Sun-
day night with several low characters, and as his
pockets were empty the presumption is that he had
been hennaed, robbed, and illtreated, and subsequently
by some name pushed into the water. The spot where the
deemed was found is a lonely part of the parish, and die.
turbances are of frequent oeeurrenoe. The body was con.
veyed to the deathouse, to await a poet owls on examina-
tion and an inquest. The deceased hid no friends or rela-
tive in London.

ROYAL THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.

This annual fete commenced yesterday, at Putney,
and will continue to-day and Wednesday. The great race
of yesterday we. the champion four-oared race, in which
there were thirteen armies from various parts of England—
the Newcastle, Manchester, and Richmond parties being
most in request. The committee of management had, as
usual, their bugs moored off the Bishop of London's, at
Fulham, which was crowded by the subrcribers and their
friends, a very large portion of whom were ladies. The
bugs and steamers were covered with flags and streamers,
a military band being in attendance, presenting a very gay
and animated appearance. The Eight Bells and the Star
and Garter T were crowded with the members and
friends of the Oxford, Cambridge, and University Clubs;
and the Dukes Head, with various other clubs ;
the hanks on either side of the river, as also Putney and
Hammersmith bridges, were crowded with spectators. Gay
as these regattu always are, more than and interest was
4:cited, and a much larger concourse of persons than usual
was present.

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON.

(FROM ♦ SIIPPLEMINT TO TRI OAZETTI OP FRIDAY LAST
[The following appeared in our Second Edition hut
evening] :
WAR DEPARTMENT, Avo. 13.
Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch
and its enclosures, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his Lordship by General Simpson, com-
manding her Majesty'. forces in the Rest:
Before Sebastopol, July 81.
My Lord,—l beg to enclose the list of casualties to
the 29th instant, which I regret to say are very
heavy.
The proximity of our works to those of the enemy,
together with the lightness of the night, and rocky
nature of the ground, making it impossible to obtain
rapid cover, materially contributes to such a result ;
notwithstanding which disadvantages our engineers
continue steadily, though slowly, to advance in the
direction of the Great Redan.
Au agreeable change has taken place the last few
days in the temperature of the weather ; heavy
showers of rain have occasionally fallen.
Several reconnaissances have been made from the
valley of Baidar towart a Ozenbash, Aitodor, and
through the Phoros Pass towards Alupka, the enemy
nowhere appearing in any force ; but the narrowness
of the mountain roads, with the exception of the
Woronzow, makes it unnecessary for them to alter
their concentrated position on the heights of Mac-
kenzie and plateau of the Belbek.
The health of the troops continues very satisfactory.

Daniel Andrews,' seawalls, Elias Birkwood, a girl, and
Susan Rlvy, a married woman, all dwelling in Church-road,
confirmed the statement of Smith in every respect, and said
he was very roughly used by the police.
In reply to the magistrate, Roche, the gaoler of the court,
wno knew tho defendant sate the loiter was in the polio,
force and since, gave him an excellent character as a respect-
able, quiet, and inoffensive man.
Mr. Yardley said that policemen had no business to en-
gross the whole of a footpath and drive people into the road.
The evidence of the first policeman was not given in • way
, calculated to win credit, end, Weed, it was in the highest
degree improbable that a quiet, inoffensive man like the de-
' fondant should put down his beer and delihtrataly emelt a
stoat policeman much younger than himself while another
was standing by. Three witnesses bad directly contradicted
the constables, and he (Mr. Yardley) believed that the de-
fendant bad been very roughly treated by the police, whose
evidence be did not believe. He should therefore dismiss
the information.

COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.

----
SlB,—The steam packet that left Dover for Culaislast
night at 11.30, came into collision with the brigantine.
Henry, of Yarmouth, bound front Shields to it,uen, deeply
laden with coal, when, we regret to state, the latter was
sunk; and the master, Robert High; the mate, Charles
Holmes; and a boy, F. Fulcher, sank with the vessel, not
having been able to cut the boat, which they had got into.
adrift from the @hip.Two other men who were on boarclosamecl
Hastings and Itudum, were picked up by the boat of the
packet.
As a matter of course,"as there has been loss of life, a
strict investigation will be made. It appears the night was
dark, but lights ashore and at sea were distinctly visible.
The Commander repors, and his statement is corroborated
by the passengers, including Mr. Percy B. St. John, Mr.
Wyld, of Charing-cross, and several London merchants,
that the ualortunate vessel anchored directly in the fair
way, about half a mile off Lover Harbour, that she had no
light up,and that nobody saw her until her jibboom w as across
the port bow of the packet, when the e dti. r was struck by
the paddle-wheel, and went down in about eigt.t fathoms,
her topmast being visible at high water. The commander
of the steamer had nut quitted the paddle hos, and the
loon-out men at their stations were repeatedly ordered to
be watchful.
As the paddle-wheel of the steamer was itjured, 'nether
packet tot k the passengers, and the former steamed back
into Dover Harbour with the return of the tide.—We are,

Exaseiner of this morning will serve for the gene-
rality of them :
lt,r Ow last week we have had, occasionally, heavy end
powwowed showers of rain, but in the intervals the heat has
Liven so great as in all probability to counteract any evil
affects that m:y have resulted tram the rain. The crops of
wheat, batlev, and yeti, throughout this county, as well as
tto cousties of Kerry, Waterford, and Limerick, were
never hellos is better or more promising eanciitios, end
Ude country be blessed for the neat month or two
with fine and se %satiable weather, we may expect an early
and abundant harvest. Our reporta from various parts of
this couLty state that the potato disease has, in fee/ and par
Lal imetanece, zeds its appearance ; no doubt same localities
have, cs far as appearances go, suffered in a greater degree
then 0:11?f districts ; but, from all that we can !tarn from
the beat sources, we believe that no censiderable injury has
ariesn to the crop up to the present. With that singular
tectieney which this mysterious disease has manifested since
to first vise', it has appeared this year at a much earlier
perind, and in greater intensity, in some localities in the
aseigt.baurhoad of Vic sal coast than in places situated
ciLly a few miles further inland; hut even the sea oast
tames are sanguine of laving a far greater prrtion of the
crop is the patent hatveet the& they have in soy year
since 184. i.

THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

This morning was issued the report of the COM-
=Mee for Scent'fle Inquiries in relation to the cholera
epidemic, which reached its height in 1854. This, like the
previous opidemie, extended over portions of two yean,
and the deaths in London, which were not very numerous in '
18.53, slightly exceeded the deaths in 1818. The deaths by
cholera and diurhoos in 1864 were, however, 5,000 less
than the number that would have been told lied the epi-
demic been as fatal as the epidemic of 1849, allow-
ing ten per cent. for increase in the population. In 1819
the deaths from cholera were 14,137 ;from diarrheas, 3,899;
making together 18,038. In 1861 the deaths from cholera
were 10,806; from diarrheas, 4,000; together 14,806;
showing that the reduction of mortality 1111834, es compared
with 1849, was 4,781 deaths from cholera, and 299 from
diarrhooa. The second outbreak began later in the season
in the last epidemic than it did in the epidemic of 1849,
and the diminished figure of the mortality arises from the
smaller number of deaths in the mouths of July and August.
The disease had lost none of its virulence, and 'the deaths
by cholera in September, 1834, being 6,084 exceeded the
deaths in September, 1849, by 1,053. The danger of an
attack of cholera varies with age ; thus, at the age of 15.25,
eat of 100 persons attacked, 34.9 die; at the age
of 25-45, the deaths to 100 cases are 35.4 ; at 65-75
the deaths to 100 cases are 68 2 The mortality of cues of
diarrhces also varies at different ages. The mortality
among the male population was at the rate of 47, among the
female population, at the rate of 45 in 10,000. The council
are of opinion that the public apprehension for the sanitary
state of the metropolis should suffer no abatement, but that
the most active and complete measure's should be adopted
to prevent the approach or to mitigate the violence of im-
pending visitations. The council, In closing their
report, suggest that them inquires, to be useful,
ought to be continued in the absence of the disease,
el hie'S they aim at elucidating. It seems certain, they add,
that in the chemistry of °metric dcconspoeiti.n there is con-
cealed a large share of the mystery to bo solved, and it is
impossible yet to say haw much of the remainder may be-
long to undeveloped branches of meteorological science.
Opportunities, therefore, ought not to he lost for establish-
ing a better nominal standard than is yet discovered to mea-
suss the chemical and meteorological Imo:nein of an epi-
demic period.

Yesterday a court wee held.
Alderman end Sheriff Rose said he wished to know who
was responsible at the t moment, as governor of New-
gets, for the safe y of prisoners committed to that gaol.
He asked the question, as two prisoners were in the daily
habit of befog taken fon that gaol for the purpose of
attending examination' at the Court of Bankruptcy, and
in the event of an escape, instances of which had before
twinned, it was desirable to know who was responsible to
the sheriff. and to that mart.
Alderman Wriu—Mr. Cope is governor of Neirgete, and
the sheriffs are reepossllde.
Aldermas Ras—ls Mr. Cope still responsible ?
Sir P. Lensing—Yes, until another governor is "misted.

stating that after en examination of the testimonial' of the
different candidates for the situation of governor of Nou-
gats, they were of opinion that Mr. J. Weathashead was best
qualified to hiifil the duties of that office.
Sir P. LAURIE said he considered the committee had
made an excellent 'election.
Sir H. hi Immune' thought the committee had selected
the beet man.
On the motion of Alderman Winn, the report wee agreed
