A letter from her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin, Capt.
Willcox, dated off Sebastopol, June 30, says :
" We arrived here with the three mortar vessels, Firm,
Flamer, and Hardy, on the 28th ; they behaved very well
on the passage from Spithead to the Black Sea. To-day
we have got them out, and to-morrow or the next day
the vessels will be ready for service. Everything is
progressing well since the last unfortunate attack. The
Russians appear still determined to dispute every inch of
ground ; the strength of the garrison, however, is much
smaller. The large encampment on the north side is
said only to contain a few troops, with the invalids from
the town ; their principal force is located on the Belbek,
their only source of sufficient water. You will, of course,
have heard of Lord Raglan's death, and of Sir George
Brown's illness on board the flagship ; he will leave for
England directly. Major-General Simpson has assumed
the command ; Sir Colin Campbell is the ' favourite,'
I and all are looking forward to him fur the Commander-
in-Chief ; there is but little firing going on just nowcs,yhuoameinnp:id,..
that only from and on the advanced works. The climate
is very beautiful, and there ought not to be sickness of
any sort. The weather is a little warm in the middle of
the day, but not more so than in August at home. All
the fleet are here, with the exception of one or two
small vessels at Kertch and off Odessa—all healthy.
The whole coast is swarming with merchant vessels
bringing out a good supply, so that there is no lack of
anything ; 120 or more can generally be counted from
the masthead approaching and leaving Balaklava, Ka-
miesh, and Kazatch—quite a forest of shipping."
The Government screw steam tranaport Resolute, Capt.
Pentree, from Balaklava June 22, Consta,nthsthienoßotp,alleti2c4,
fleet.and
Malta 30, arrived, all well, at Plymouth yesterday after-

Perseverance and Assistance, all for Malta. On the
7th of July, off Lisbon, the screw-steamer Teneriffe,
steering south ; and July 8, off Finisteere, the brig
