THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.

No I.—March of the Allied Armies towards Sebastopol—the
drums and trumpets heard in the distance —the English approach the
centre—the French on the left and the Turks on the right—and all
advance slowly, and by degrees surround the batteries—firing com-
mences on both sides.
No. 2. Bivouac of the French in the Trenches—National Airs
heard—Partant pour la Syrie, with double variations for two flutes,

No. 4. Reconnaissance in the Valley of the Baidar—Movement if
the cavalry—dialogue of the chiefs during the passing of the banks of
the beautiful Tchernaya—the cavalry gradually disappears in the
distance.
No. 5. Assault.—As the storm succeeds the calm, a tremendous
burst from a thousand cannon, and the enthusiastic war cries of the
besiegers, mingled in one giant voice, are heard along the lines.
With the rapidity of an eagle the French surprise and seize the Tower
of Malakhoff. Their attack is irresistible, and the signal is given
English treops rush into the Great Re-
for the other assaults. The En
dan ; there, met by a fearful cross-lire, which ploughs its ranks with
death, the gallant soldiers fall by hundreds, but retreat not a step 1
Encouraged by the example of their brave commander—they die like
heroes 1 At the Little Sedan a similar fate awaits the French.
While this terrific combat is raging around them the Zouaves and
the Guard stand firm in the Malakhoff, where the Russians, recover-
ing from their surprise, rash in serried columns to the charge. Rein-
forcements continually arrive on both sides, and the conflict becomes
fearful. At length a supreme effort is made, and the day is decided.
It is night! The flames, which from all parts of the town and
bay, spread their lurid light on the neighbouring hills, mingled with
the deafening noise of the exploding mines. the roar of the cannon,
the whistling of the bullets, the hurtling of the shells, the rattling of
the drums, the shrill sound of the trumpets, the ships blown into the
air, the cries of the fugitives, and the shouts of the vietors, seem to
form an awful fete, given to the conquerors as the climax of this
memorable siege.
The Russian Retreat —A Fugue.—Pretected by the fearful scene,
the Russians, ever obstinate after defeat, retreat to the north side by
the celebrated bridge of rafts traversing the whole harbour.
Calm is by degrees re-established. Borne up a hill which over-
looks the burning city, a soldier, mortally wounded, prays his com-
rades to stay and turn his face towards the scene of destruction ;
there, gazing with calm upon the dreadful spectacle, turning to his
companions, who watch him with anXety, and by a superhuman
effort raising his arms to Heaven, he exclaims, " Adieu! adieu!
Sebastopol is ours 1 I die happy. wive la France ! Vive l'Empe-
reur I" His words are heard, and amidst the ruins resound the stir-
ring sound of England's immortal Anthem and Partant pour la
Syrie.

tended to be made to Parliament in the next session, for an
Act to alter, amend, extend, enlarge, or repeal all or some of
the powers and provisions of " The Westminster Terminus
Railway Act, 1854."
And it is proposed by the said intended Act to autho
rise and empower the Westminster Terminus Railway Com-
pany to abandon that portion of their authorised line
of railway which commences at or near the front gates to the
entrance of the Grey Coat Hospital of the Royal Foundation
of Queen Anne, in Groy Coat Place, in the Parish of Saint
John the Evangelist, in the city and liberty of Westminster,
passing thence from, in, through, or into the several parishes,
townships, extra-parochial or other places following, that is
to say—Saint John the Evangelist in the city and liberty
of Westminster; Saint George, Hanover Square, in the
city and liberty of Westminster and county of Middlesex ;
Millbank, Pimlico, bed and shore of the River Thames,
in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey; Nine Elms,
Saint Mary, Battersea, and which terminates at the
point where the said authorised Railway is intended to
cross the ditch forming the boundary or division between the
Parish of Saint Mary, Battersea and the parish of Clapham,
and all or any portion which may be considered advisable
of the remainder of the said authorised railway, and also to ,
abandon the whole of the Branch Railway authorised to be
made by the said Act which commences at a point leading
out of the lastly described Railway, about three chains and
fifty links due east from the northern angle of the front of
the Albion public-house, in Stewart's-lane, in the parish of
St. Mary, Battersea, in the county of Surrey, and terminating
by a junction with the authorized line of the " West End of
London and Crystal Palace Railway," at or near Long Hedge
Farm House, in the occupation of Mr. Bernard John Graham,
in the Parish of St. Mary, Battersea, in the County of Surrey.
And it is also proposed be the said intended Act, to autho-
rise the construction and maintenance, in lieu of the before-
mentioned portions to be abandoned, of a line of railway com-
mencing at or near the front of a dwelling-house, being No.
57, on the south side of Lupus Street, midway between Cla-
vertou Street, and Ranelagh Road, in the parish of St. George,
Hanover Square, in the city and liberty of Westminster ; such
dwelling-house being in the occupation of Felix Lievin B iu-
wens, and passing thence from, through, or into, the following
parishes, townships, extra-parochial, and other places, (that
is to say) : the parish of St. George, Hanover Square, afore-
said, Thames Bank, the bed and shore of the River Thames,
in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey ; Nine Elms, and St.
Mary, Battersea in the county of Surrey, and terminating at
or near the point or place, where the authorized West End of
Loudon and Crystal Palace Railway is intended to pass under
the South Western Railway, near Stewart's Lane, in the
parish of St. Mary, Battersea, in the county of Surrey.
And also a railway couamencing at the point or place where
the said last mentioned intended line is intended to termi-
minate, and terminating by a junction with the authorized
Westminster Terminus Railway at the point where the same
is intended to cross the before mentioned ditch, forming the
boundary or division between the parish of St. Mary, Batter-
sea and the parish of Clapham, and which said railway will
be wholly situate in the parish of St. Mary, Battersea afore-
said.
And also a railway diverging from and commencing by a
junction with the intended railway firstly before described,
at a point on the same where it is intended to pass over New
Street, in Battersea New Town, about four chains northward
from the bridge which carries the London and South-Western
Railway over such street, in the parish of Saint Mary, Bat-
tersea aforesaid, and terminating by a junction with the up
line of the London and South Western Railway, at a point
about seven chains westward from the bridge which cars ies
the said railway over Stewart's Lane, in the parish of Saint
Mary, Battersea aforesaid, and which said railway will be
wholly situate in the parish of St. Mary, Battersea aforesaid.
And in connexion with the before mentioned intended rail-
ways, it is propose I to construct and maintain all proper and
necessary works, approaches, and conveniences in connexion
therewith, and which said intended substituted railways will
be delineated and shown upon the plans hereinafter men-
tioned to be deposited, and, so far as may be necessary, to
alter the levels of the said authorized Westminster Terminus
Railway.

powers to purchase lands and houses compulsorily or other-
wise for the above purposes, and to vaeryr ,)r extinguish any
;also to levt

manently, all turnpike and other roads, railways, tramways,

courses within or adjoining the aforesaid parishes and other
places, or any of them,
with which it may be necessary to
interfere in the construction of the said intended railways and
works.
