RUSSIAN NEWS FROM THE BALTIC.

We have received the S'. Petersburg journals of
the 30th ult. The Invalid* RUEIBB contains the fol-
lowing :
In the interval between the 2214 and 27th the enemy's
ships made two fruitleu attempts against some points very
near St. Petenbarg, on the south coast of Finland.
Oa the 22ad at four o'clock in the afternoon, two steam•
frigates appeared opposite the village of Mules, and cast
anchor out of the range of our cannon. Oa the 23rd., at
ten o'clock a.m., a gunboat, towing four long•boata full of
armed men, approached the hamlet of Itembilt. Stopping
at the distance of 300 scone. from the Orme, these boats
opened bre against the nearest thicket, probably under the
idea that an ambuscade of our troops were concealed there,
while the latter, la reality, were on the other side of Mes•
lax, ready to attack the enemy if he attempted a descent.
At eleven o'clock the cannonade ceased.

On the 24th, towards the evening, the enemy's Seat
moved toward. the northern extremity of the island of
Itevon Saari, and on the 25th it approached Bjork-o. At the
latter place, a gun-boat, separating from the frigates, ap-
proached within 80 'arms of thepout and fired six times at
the telegraph, missing aim each time. In spite of the
enemy's vicinity, Ecsign Mutchenko, of the corps of Ma-
rine Pilots, attached to this Telegraph Station, quietly
continued the transmission of a mange which he had com-
menced.

On neither of these two days hay* we bad to regret either
killed or wounded.

On the 26th a steamer, accompanied by two gunboats,
left the fleet anchored in the channel at the north of Crew
stadt, and brought to bear near the mouth of the river
Senn (not far from the Sestrorstak arms manufactory), at
about 600 'ageless from the shore ; the boats got within 400
sagirnes, and anchored in advance and on each side of the
steamer. Towards 3 p.m. the enemy commenced • can-
nonade lasting an hour, and at its close raised anchor and
rejoined the fleet. On this oonaion, with the eaception of the
non commissioned officer Schuster, of Ring Frederick
William's Regiment of Grenadian, who was wounded, the
enemy's fire did us no harm.

CONSTANTINOPLE, ivx2 28.

It is with deep regret that I have to report the
death of Captain Lyons, who expired while under
operation, at Therapia, on Sunday last. The de-
emed had been wounded on the 19th inst., before
Sebastopol, by a projectile (biscaien) in the calf of the
left leg—a species of injury, which professional men
always consider dangerous, and oftentimes such as to
entail a loss of the limb. In this sad cue the
best was done, I have no doubt, but it is at the same
time melancholy to reflect that if amputation were
absolutely required, and had been promptly performed,
it might perhaps have been attended with a far dif-
ferent result. The lut obsequies took place at The-
rapia on the following day, and the remains of this
young hero, cut off in the midst of his glorious career,
were conveyed to their last resting•place—a lonely spot
in the neighbouring valley. Lord Redcliffe, with
his whole staff in fell uniform, attended this afflicting
ceremony, as well as the aides-de-camp of the Seru-
kier, the Capitan-Pacha, and several officers of the
army and navy—the Miranda, her flag en berne,
pealing mournfully her minute•guns and last farewell
to her heroic commander. Admiral Grey pronounced
on this occasion a most affecting funeral oration.
There has been, unfortunately, within the last ten
days, some recrudescence of the cholera, and more
especially in a Jew district of Kouskoundjuc, on the
Bosphorus. The full amount of the mortality did
not appear yesterday at the last sitting of the Sani-
tary Council, and only fourteen fatal cues were
reported during the week. At Salonica, however, the
epidemic has been far more violent ; and, from the
13th to the 20th June there were noted in all 511
attacks, whereof 292 persons have died, 82 are cured,
and 137 are under cure. According to lut accounts
from Anatolia, the army of Kars was concentrating
round Erzroom ; and the fortifications of that town
had been considerably advanced under the direction
of General Williams. General Guyon is still here,
I believe, as also Biram Pacha (Colonel Cannon).
Six gun-boats—Grinder, Cracker, Jasper, Boxer,
Clinker, and Fancy—arrived here armed with cannons
and mortars of long range. They have all passed up
to the Black Sea.
