LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA.

CAMP ABOVE SEBAgTOB01;, July 7.
No change has occurred in the general disposi-
tion of the troops, nor has any incident of peculiar
interest in the siege operations taken place since
the last mail. The ',Hies are busily occupie I in-
perfecting their approaches against the Malakhoff
Tower and Redan, particularly the fornier position.
The enemy is engaged with equal activity in
strengthening and adding to their defeuces. From
the enormous number of gabions seen to be brought
over, it is suspected that the Russians are alsacun-
structing some inner works of large size. •
Rumours have been prevailing that the Malakhoff
was to be attacked again shortly,—even the date
has been named. From the state of our works,
however, it would appear that some time must
elapse—two or three weeks—before all the proposed
batteries and approaches to be brought against it,
and the shipping, can be completed. There has
also been a talk that the French were to take the
trench duties wholly, so as to set the British free
for taking the field, but this does not appear pro-
bable. The argument used• to defend this sup-
posed arrangement has been that, being already
in possession of so great an extent of the attacks,
both on the left and right, the French would . not
find the addition of the centre any serious tax upon
the resources of the vast force they now possess in
the field ; while all chance of mistakes arising from
a want of thorough and complete action in con-
cert would be-avoided. It is not likely, however,
that-having once undertaken a share in the great,
work, the British commander would consent to
abandon it, even although, by operating in the
field,' his efforts would tend to the accomplishment
of the same ultimate object. Various circumstances
have occurred to lead to the supposition that part
of the British force would shortly leave for more
active campaigning; but nothingis known respect-
ing the intened operation, or w at troops are
likely to move. All the British divisions of in•
fantry, including the Guards and Highlanders, are
now employed in the siege duties.
The following is a brief diary of observation and
occurrences in front since the last mail :
JULY 3d.—The event of to-day has been the
funeral procession of the late Field-Marshal Lord
Raglan, from the head-quarters house, to the
" Caradoc," which was waiting at Kazatch Bay, to
convey the mortal remains to England. There
were many things which combined to render this
ceremonial peculiarly impressive.
As a military spectacle the funeral cortege pre-
sented numerous features of striking magnificence.
In many respects it contrasted favourably with the
grand display which had accompanied the remains
of the great chief, under whom Lord Raglan had
himself so long served, to their last resting-place in
the metropolis of England. There was not the
gorgeous catafalque, with its ponderous ornaments
and long wreaelis of laurel and cypress ; but an
ordinary gun carriage formed au equally appro-
priate vehicle ; and a small wreath of yellow im-
mortelles placed on the coffin, which was
covered with a black mortuary cloth, edged
with a white border, told the same tale, but with
more touching simplicity. There was not an
equal variety of courtly costumes, civil uniforms,
and robes of state ; but, instead, there were the
bravest and picked troops of the armies of France,
England, and Sardinia, and our foreign Allies ap-
peared not in small groups, but in large numbers.
No covered carriages concealed the followers from
view. A brilliant sun and lucid atmosphere gave
additional splendour to the glittering arms and
bright costumes of troops who formed the escort or
attended mourners, or who, in two long lines, traced
the route of the procession from head-quarters to
Kazatch Bay.
The published arrangements for the funeral pro-
cession have been already forwarded. They were
carried out as directed, and throughout •were con-
ducted with admirable order. The coffin left head-
quarters at the time named, under a salute of 19
guns from a field-battery brough,, up for the occa-
sion. The British troops lined the road on each side
in double file, as far as the French head-quarters.
From that point to the sea, a distance of six miles,
our Allies lined the road in single file on both sides.
The number of men on duty on this occasion
must have been very great, more than could have
been expected to be spared from the many opera-•
tions in progress. General Pelissier and General
La Marmora rode on the right of the coffin, his
Highness Omer Pacha and General Simpson on
the left. Omer Pacha was conspicuous by the
magnificence of his uniform and decorations. On
drawing near to Kazatch Bay, Kamiesh was on
the right, and the men-of-war's boats were seen
waiting with their oars " tossed," to carry the ho-
noured freight to the steamer. The naval arrange-
ments were simple and effective. By an easy con-
trivance, the coffin, with the sword, hat, sash, and
wreath still lying upon it, was lowered into a arge,
and the barge was then slowly towed away to the
steamer, which was lying in the harbour. The
usual salute was fired from the ships. Halt an
hour afterwards the sunset, and at an early hour
to-morrow before another sun rises, the mortal
remains of the late Commander-in-Chief will
have left the Crimea, and be on their way to
England.
There has not been much fire from the batteries
to-day. The French are busily employed strengthen-
ing their new works on the east of Careening Bay.
The redoubt Blanche is becoming a formidable work.
The embrasures of the small five-gun battery at the
extremity of the spur have been now turned, and
the arrangements for this armament will shortly
be completed. But still further in advance than
this, and at a lower level, immediately overhanging
the water of the Great Harbour, our allies have
commenced a new work. The Russian 12-gun
battery on the opposite side of the harbour has
been keeping up a very constant fire, with a view
to impede the progress of this work, which pro-
mises completely to prevent the Russian shipping
again appearing near the Bay of lukerman. The
Russian batteries on the west side of Careening
Bay have also been very constantly throwing
shells in the direction of this and the other
French works on the east side. The French have
made a covert approach to the 5-gnu battery.
There was none when the Russians abandoned it
on the Bth of June, their covered way to the
Selinglainsk redoubt in front being a sufficient
protection. It ()nettle necessary for our allies to
throw up cover to save themselves from the fire
of the enemy's riflemen on the other side of Careen-
ing Bay, in approaching the work from their ad-
vanced works in the Careening Bay ravine. The
trench ascends in a slanting direction from the ravine
up the side of the cliff, until it terminates in the
work which extends completely across the spur
of the ridge. The French have another approach
on the right, proceeding directly from the Seling-
hinsk or White redoubt. A covered commuuica-
flout between the Selinghinsk and Volhynia re-
doubts had been completed by the Russians just
before they were captured by our Allies.
Our new advanced batteries in the right attack
are making rapid progress. It is anticipated by
our engineers that their effect against the shipping
lying off the Karabeluaia suburb will be very de-
structive.
The enemy has undertaken a work of great la-
bour. During the last two nights his working
parties have been actively engaged in filling up the
old embrasures of the Korniloff bastion in front of
the Malakhoff Tower, and also those of a consider-
able part the Redan
tyhof near the
earth
hasalreadsl
already
been
n
nt athieole. A
wrt
l up
oanrgtehe top of the gabions employed to block up the
embrasures, and also upon the "merlons,' the
masses of solid earth between the embrasures. It
is quite evident that a greater' elevation is
about to be given to the whole line of battery,
so that a more dominant fire may be obtained
from the Malakhoff against the Mamelon
Vert, and from the Redan against . our
Quarry and other works on the right attack. To
complete this operation great labour will also be
required within the work. There is probably an
abundant supply of timber still in the shipping
yards, which can be turned to good account in the
undertaking.
The Russians are also seen to be busily occupied
in adding to the outworks of the North Fort on the
opposite side of the harbour. A new 4-gun battery
has just been completed, which, though connected
with the North Fort, is placed on a commanding
knoll about half way between it and the cliff
overhanging the Great Harbour. Two or three
shots were fired from this work to-day, as if to try
the range. They fell near the French advanced
works on the right of the Mamelon Vert. The
Russian working parties can be seen in consider-
able numbers returning toward sunset from the
direction of the Star Fort, and marching toward
the more distant camps. Every appearance tends
to confirm the suspicion, that the nearer encamp-
ments on the high ground above the harbour, and
stretching along the line of hill to the right of the
Si ar Fort, are those of the Russian ambulances. Al,
though the greater number of the tents. composing
these camps are completely under view, and, with a
good telescope an individual moving among them can
be readily distinguished, there is never observed

the movements, or
.constant ingress • and egress,
which charaeterise the ordinary encampments of
troops.' There can be but one other explanation
-of their remarkably deserted appearance ; if they
are not occupied by sick and- itourided, they are in
a great measure empty, and 'have been left stand-
ing for-some purpose of deception.
There-has been a cessation of the arrital•of -the
immense, oonvoys. which used..to he , seen of carts
cAnveying- sacks apparently, of grain. The two
hugerpyramidal heaps which were collected below
the Star Fort have disappeared'.
The increase in the size of' the graveyard, just
in rear of the 12-gun battery, on the verge of the
opposite cliff, is becoming very remarkable. This
cemetery is placfal at no great distance from
several of ' the' large encampments of square tents,
which have been supposed - to _he ambulance
establithrtients.' The part
.ieeeritly formed is
readily discerned and distifiguished from' the
older part of the cemetery. -Tile former is com-
posed of immense mounds of.dark-coloured earth,
at the eastern of which can , always be seen the
opening of a large pit. The latter is made
up of tingle graves, each hearing a small cross
of black or white wood. The large mounds are
withouk crosses. At one partof the recently-formed
cemetery is an enclosed grave of some pretension.
Through the palings which-bound it on each ,ide
can be seen two white objects, probably stone
tablets, one at each end, and of different sizes.
Tiff) recent part of the cemetery Slow occupies nearly
half the extent of the olderortion. Every morn-
ing a fatigue party. of soldieyOrriies at this grave-
Geld, the men pile their arnetake off their °oats,
and set to work in forming one large pit or excava-
tion. The same party appears to remain all day.
Burials are frequent, and occur at all hours. The
new part is extending up a gentle incline, and
stretching in an easterly direction. At the western
end a road .passes, so that the cemetery could not
be prolonged in that direction without interfering
with it.

A severe casualty occurred this evening among
some men belonging to the 2d battalion of the
Rifle Brigade. It was caused by the discharge of
a single gun from the enemy, and perhaps this in-
stance affords an example of the greatest number
of injuries inflicted by such means during tli• siege.
A body of men of this regiment' were returning
from the Quarry, and had arrived at part of a trench
which for a short distance is exposed to an enfilad-
ing fire. The Russians must have observed them
and fired. Some of the men said that only a round
shot was discharged ; others that both a round shot
and shell were discharged at the same moment.
The missile, whatever its nature, took fatal effect,
for no less than 16 men were killed and wounded.
Two were killed on the spot, and three subse-
quently died from the effects of their wounds.
Some of the injuries were comparatively .rifling.
The Russians Ms.) fired at a party of men belonging
to one of the Highland regiments, who imprudently
showed themselves on the open ground above the
21- battery, as they were returning from the
trenches. Their object was merely to effect a short
saving in distande, by returning to camp in a more
direct line than that of the covered way, but this
proceeding is highly reprehensible. It not only ex-
poses the men themselves to needless risk, but
also serves to point out to the enemy the time at
which they had been relieved. The Russians fired
two or three shots against the party, all of which
ricochetted, after striking the ground, but no
casualty occurred.
Lieut. E. Remoutrd James, of the Royal En-
gineers, wa , last night engaged with a working
party .in part of the quarries. The position was very
exposed. The men were busy at their work, and
Lieutenant James, leaving them, went forward to-
wards the Russian works to reconnoitre. He did
not return, but tie men, being intent on their
occupation, did not for a considerable time notice
his absence.: When at last it was observed, and
the officer could no; he found, it was surmised that
he might perhaps lave returned to camp on some
account, and the Sappers came back without him.
No tidings have been heard all day, and there is
little dout that le was quietly taken prisoner by
some advanced Russian picket. A further search
is to be made to-Light, iu case he has been unable
to return in consequence of being wounded.
During last night there was rain of very great
violence, and there 'were occasional showers this
morning, but the weather cleared towards the
afternoon, and the tight is now fine and dry.
JULY 4.—The enemy threw a great quantity of
grape and shells in the supposed direction of our
working parties last night. An active fire was
kept up from the batteries, chiefly of shell, against
. the Redan and Maltkhoff works.

The heightening of the parapets in front of the
Malakhoff is progressing fast. The French covered
approach, which is being advanced in the direction
of the Malakhoff, also seems to have made a good
start last night.
Nothing was discovered respecting Lieut. James,
R.E., and little, if any, doubt exists respecting his
being in the hands of the Russians.
A very sharp fire was maintained towards sunset
from the batteries on both sides. The enemy does
not exhibit any want of ammunition. The French
works on the east of Careening Bay have been ex-
posed to a frequent. fire during the whole day from
the guns on the north side, and from the Itussian
batteries on the west side of the port.
Major-General Codrington, who has been absent
on account of ill-health' has sufficiently recovered
to return to camp, and resume the duties of the
command of the Light Division.
The day has been fine and dry.
JULY s.—The usual firing against the working
parties, and shelling on both sides, occurred during
the night.
The fire has been chiefly directed against the
works of our allies in progress on the east side of
Careening Bay. The 12 gun battery on the north
side has kept up a persevering fire in this direc-
tion. Fort Lonstantine has also fired frequently
from some mortars placed on the roof. The charge
given must be very heavy, as the shells have to pass
across the mouth of the harbour, and over the
Alexander Fort and other works, to reach the
French approaches against which the missiles are
directed.
The transport of gabions, the arrival and depar-
ture of working parties, near the outworks of the
Star Fort, the frequent burials, and other move-
ments on the north side, continue as previously
noticed. A body of troops was observed to march
from the entrenched camp on the heights north of
Inkerman this morning ; they moved in an easterly
direction. No change in position is said to have
occurred among the Sardinian troops of Tchorgoun,
Or in the force occupying Baidar.
The day has been fine and clear. The tempera-
ture has again become very high, but has been
moderated by a cool breeze from the north-west.
JULY 6.—A sharp musketry fire occurred on the
left about half- past 11 o'clock last night, but was
of brief duration.
Captain Alexander Gordon, of the Royal Artil-
lery, was killed yesterday evening in an advanced
battery of the right attack. He came out from
England in charge of troop-horses, and, after his
arrival in the Crimea, asked permission to remain
for a short time to do duty in the batteries. His
request was acceded to ; but his services being 're-
quired at Woolwich, he was about to return in a
few days. When his death occurred, he was just
leaving the works. The enemy had been annoying
one of our working parties, and a message was sent
to Captain Gordon, to request him to open some
.guns upon the Russians; for the purpose of direct-
lng their fire towards his own battery. This was
successfully accomplished. Suddenly Capt. Gordon
observed a large shell coming towards the spot
where he and some of his men were, and he had
barely time sufficient to warn the men to shelter
themselves. He himself appears to have felt a
momentary hesitation as to the side of the traverse
on which the missile was falling, and thus lost the
opportunity of obtaining protection. While he was
standing up, the shell struck the side of the head,
and he was killed instantaneously. The shell
lodged near him and burst. No one else was in-
jured ; the men had thrown themselves on the
ground, and were safely under cover of the tra-
verse, immediately after receiving warning of their
danger. Captain Gordon was a valuable officer,
and had acted as adjutant at Woolwich.
The heat has been very intense, and the atmos-
phere close, all day. Heavy masses of dark clouds
have been hovering over the mountains, and the
roll of thunder has been heard occasionally. One
or two slight showers of rain have fallen in camp.
JULY 7.--The fire from the batteries was parti-
cularly active during the early part of last night.
As usual, it consisted chiefly of mortar-practice,
excepting it front, where the working parties
were employed, and against whom grape, as well
as shell, is constantly used.

It is said tiat the result of two years' working of
omnibuses between the Euston station and the City, as
disc to and from the west-end, does not yield an ave-
rage of four persons per trip, and that the duty, being
20 per cent. cf the receipts, is, therefore, a great hard-
ship.
