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 en 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,
performed by Messrs. Reichart and Pratten ; for flute and flageolet,
by MU. De Folly and Collinet; Quartette for four comets, performed
by Messrs. Arban, Le Lonp, M. Dupont, and Kcenig.
No. 3. Piedmontese Monferina—A March and a Dance, as played
by the regiments of the Basiglieri —interrupted by a false alarm of
an attack—the March continued.
No. 4. Reconnaissance in the Valley of the Baidar—Movement of
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 Blalakhoff. Their attack is irresistible, and the signal is given
for the other assaults. The English troops rush into the Great Re-
dan ; there, met by a fearful cross-fire, which ploughs its ranks with
death, the gallant soldiers fall by hundreos, but retreat not a step !
Encouraged by the example of their brave commander—they die like
heroes ! At the Little Redan a similar fate awaits the French.
While this terrific combat is raging around them the Zmaves and
the Guard stand firm in the Malakhoff, where the Russians, recover-
ing from their surprise, rush 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.—Pretested 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. Bcrne 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 anx ety, and by a superhuman
effort raising his arms to Heaven, he exclaims, "Adieu! adieu !
Sebastopol is ours ! I die hippy. Vive la France ! Vive FEmpe-
reur !" His words are heard, and amidst the ruins resound the stir-
ring sound of England's immortal Anthem and Partant poor la
Syrie.
