urination was resumed by Lord Seymour. His evidence
wa,i, as before, of a desultory character, and comprised
the reading of a number of official reports, and corre- •
spondence of various kinds, relative to the Cotninis?ariat
Department. In reference to fuel, he stated that, when
it was known that the army would winter in the Crimea,
the Commissariat Department engaged to supply fuel,
and Commissary-General Filder took the necessary
measures for procuring a good supply from Con-
stantinople and other places. He also managed to
obtain a supply of charcoal, which was stored up
at BAlaklavp ; but it e.uld not be conveyed thence
to the camp owing to the deficiencies in ' the
transport department. This latter defect, combined
with the had state-of the weather and the roads, pre-
vented the conveyance of hay and straw. He had been
informed that there was no want of either of these articles
at Balaklava, from the 21st to the 30th November. With
regard to the S!,anish mulos which were not brought over
to the East in December last, they were not detained
antirely on account of the defective transport-service,
but because Commissary-General Filler had no preSsing
necessity for them. ,The great difficuly, in his (pinion,
connected with the army was the want of a commissariat
"-hment at home, but he thought that the great
ivision and sub-division of duty in that department in
he field interfered with the discipline of the army. He
;witness) had the executive management of this depart-
ment at home, under the direction, however, of the
Minister for War.

THE RUVIOURED ATTEMPT UPON THE
LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

The idle rumour, which unfortunately gained con-
siderable circulation yesterday evening, to the effect that
an attempt had been made upon the life of the Emperor
of the French, whilst on hi 4 way to Buckingham-palace,
•after his visit to the Guildhall, turned out upon inquiry
to be entirely without foundation. The report originat'd
in a very simple and 'harmless circumstance. As the
royal carriage was passing under the triumphal arch on
Constitution-hill, a middle-aged person, apparently a
foreigner, stepped towards it, and endeavoured to throw
a letter of some kind in at the window. As the nature of
the act was not understood at the moment, he was at
once seized and given into custody. He was conveyed
to the King-street police-station, where, after being de-
tained a short time, a messenger was despatched from
the palace, with an intimation that the document con-
tained nothing offensive, and that it was, consequently,
the Emperor's wish that the man should be discharged.
This considerate request was accord;ngly immediately
complied with. The individual in question, who is a
Frenchman, gave his name as John Pelle; and described
himself as a doctor of medicine.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCASHIRE RAIL
WA.Y.—About 9 p'clock on Tuesday evening a labouring
tout, named Peter Burke, attempted to cross the East
Lancashire Railway, at the Bacup station, to take some
supper to one of the company's servants who was a fel
low-lodger, and who was then engaged in shunting sonn •
carriages which were attached to an engine by a tail
rope. It was quite dark, and Burke, being unable ti
-,eti the rope, became ent•ingled with it in some way, wa.•
thrown prostrate across the rails, and the engine imme
diately passed over his legs. One limb was completely
amputated, and the other so mangled that it was hnpos
able to do anything to restore it. Several medical gen-
tlemen were sent for, and ,Dr. Harrison, the medica:
officer of the company, proceeded from Manchester, b)
.t special train, but they could render no a-sistance ti.

The principal novelty in the cl, corations was the Turco-

right." The programme of the entertainments included
some excellent dancing on the tight rope by two children.
In the theatre the wonderful performance of the Russell,
family was warmly applauded. This was followed by
the new ballet. In the course of the evening the visi-
tors were amused with the performance of the dogs and
monkeys, and the entertainments concluded with a dis-
play of fireworks.. The boys of the Duke of York's
School, accompanied by their band, were present, and
forme() an additional attraction. The gardens were well
attended. On every side are to be seen preparations
making' for the regular opening 'of the suinmer season,
which will take place on Whit Monday.' On that day
the new Firewoik Temple, which is rapidly advancing
to completion, will be exhibited for the first time. •

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 7.
The bombardment will, it is said, begin on
':tionday morning. • It is nearly a month sine'
we were assured everything was ready, but it ap-
pears now that everything will not be ready til;
\londay next. There has been a conference of
.A.imirals and Generals at Lord Raglan's quar-
ters, at which the Field-Marshal, General Can-
robert, Sir Etimuvid Lyons, and Admiral Bart;
assisted. It is rumoured throughout the fleet tha,
they are to open fire on the forts as soon as tip.,
bombardment begins, not, indeed, with the idea of
going close in, breaking the booms, or burstinu
through the barrier of sunken ship, but to draw
off the artillerymen from the batteries, and distract
the attention of the enemy. A number. of French,
and some few English vessels, have been despatcher
up the coast northwards, and it is universally ex•
pected that a portion of the Turkish army of Eupa•
toria will be detached to effect a formidable diver
sion on the north side of Sebastopol, at the very
crisis.-of the conflict. There is little doubt but that
the reports which have been circulated respecting
the withdrawal of a considerable portion of the
Turkish army from Eupatoriacwhich has now been
placed in an excellent state of defence, are correct ;
but it is not so easy to determine whether they will
be landed on the north or on the south side of
Sebastopol. To act with promptitude and effect on
the day of the bombardment, the Turks, if landed
on the north side, must disembark at or near the
Belbek, the approaches to which are commanded by
the enemy's new forts and mud redoubts. Their
presence there would paralyse the army over the
Vehernaya, and prevent ;any offensive demonstra-
tion against our, clank or rear. On the other hand,
their presence at Balaklava would liberate the Eng-
ish and French troops which guard the heights,
vid enable them to move to the front, should there
he any necessity for their services, in the event of
the enemy's fire being so far reduced as to render
an assault advisable. No doubt, Omer Pasha per-
'ectly understands the capacity of his troops and
die objects of the expdition, and if his usual good
trtune attends him he will contribute materiall3
,) the glory of the day. Col. Siinmonds, R.E..
rrived from Ertpatoria a few days ago with de
patches from the Turkish Generalissimo, and tat
las since returned wLLh very important communi•
tations from the allied Generals in connection with
-he movements of the troops under his Highness':
lommand. There is no positive certainty that tin
tonibardment will begin on Monday, the 9th o
but the enginpers and artillery officers be
itNe it is the day. It is said we should hay,
pencil fire, or that we were ready to do so, yester
lay morning, but that Lord Roglan did not wish t
oaugurste Good Friday by salvoes of artillery ant
ty a sanguinary bombardment. On the whet
land, the circumstance of our being' still sendin;
rp shot, shell, and mortars does not Seem quit,
insistent with. the sta'ement that the General:
vele prepared to bombard before to-day.
TUESDAY, April 3.
The Allies have sustained a giievous loss in th
heath of M. St. Lauri-nt, commandant of Freric
llngineers, in the right attack. Ho was mortally
younded by a rifle ball on Mouday, as he was 0)
inty in the French battery over Inkerrean
kctive, able, and energetic, possessed of an exten
ive knowledge of his profesiion,. to which he wa,
horoughly devoted, M. St. Laurent had rendered
..-isential services to the Allied forces during th.
.tiler period of the siege, and was esteemed and
-,spvcted by his brethren iu both the Edglish and
Li'rench armies. He was buried yesterday, and hi,
-earning were f. Mowed by a concourse of Frencl
Ind English officers. One of the most important
;storks over Tnkerman bears his name, and he di,.
much to place that portion of Our attack and ee-
:ence in a most efficient state. •
This morning one working party effected a very
difficult operation with entire success, and without
'.oss of life. They connected the advanced parallel:
of the two attacks .by a trench without losing r,
itliptle man, though they were close to the enerny'f
riflemen, and were exposed to round shot, shells:
and grape from the batteries. The uncertain high
-)f the moon prevented the Russians firing will
accuracy, but as they brought down two field-pieces
into their advanced works to play on our workimr
party with grape, one (if our 9-pounder field-pieces
was ordered into the advanced trench to reply to
them, and our single gun speedily silenced their
two pieces. At dawn they fired with great accu-
vacy, anti we lost two Sappers, and a few men
killed and wounded.

WEDNE3DA.Y, April 4.
Captain Bainbrigge, R.h., was killed yesterda3
Tuesday) in the trenches. As he was talking t
me of the Sappers employed in the works a she]
)ame towards them from one_ of the enemy's bat

eries ; they both saw it, and the soldier went to
one side of a traverse and Captain Bainbrigge to
the other. The shell fell just at his feet and-ex-
ploded befo're he could throw himself down, blow-
orig his body to atoms. The unfortunate officer
only arrived a fortnight ag6 from Ceylon.
Captain Armit, R.E., was contused by a fragment
of a shell, but is doing well.
Colonel Simmonds, who arrived here with des-
patches froM Omer Pasha to the Allied Generals,
has returned with important despatches to the
Turkish General.
A Russian officer of.rank,, took a ,minute survey
Balaklava from Caurobert's•hill on Tuesday.
He was attended by about 200 Cossacks, and soon
after his departure a body of men appeared on
the ridge which runs down from Kamara to Can-
obert's-hill, and set to work throwing up some
works which appear to be intended as a trench.
his the works are on the further side of the

idge, it is not easy to ascertain their character, bu►
t is probable that they 4nerely form a trench for
she protection of infantry in case the Russians find

themselves in sufficient force to resist any recon-
aaissance we maylnake," or to enable them to check
pursu:t, should • they make another attempt On
Balaklava and be forced to retire.
We have lately been receiving a quantity of wild
