able. The great explosion threw shell over the
camp of our siege train, and huts of the Ist Bri-

All officers and men were on the spot at once,
and worked with good will and energy, and I
saw all safe when I quitted at 7 p.m. Killed—

" Our park of artillery (called Park cf the

day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon by the explosion
of three magazines, containing altogether 30,000
kilogrammes of powder, 600,000 cartridges, 300
charged shells, and other projectiles.
" ' The ignited materials, hurled to a distance,
caused a violent conflagration in. the English park
next to ours, and there also partial explosions took
place. -

" At 6 o'clock the Evglish. and French work

men were masters of the fire.
Our loss consists of 30 killed, including
two officers, and some hundred wounded, among
whom are 10 officers.

" ' However sad such an event is, we must still

congratulate ourselves that the consequences have
not been more serious and disastrous.
" ' I am not able to state the losses of our
Allies. I believe they are about the same as our

" ' As nearly always happens in similar caEO
t is difficult to ascertain the cause of the first

explosion.
" ' This is certainly a very lamentable acci-
dent ; but our stores are so considerable that the
resources of the army are not in the slightest de-
gree affected by it,' r

HAMBURG, Nov. 17

Captain Sherrard Osborne reports that on the
sth and 6th inst. a flotilla, under his orders,
the Sea of Azoff, destroyed enormous quantities
of grain and forage of this year's harvest, which
was compactly stacked in six tiers extending two
miles along the coast, near Gheisklima.n,' ready to
be conveyed partly to the Crimean army after the
formation of the ice in the Gulf of Azoff, and
partly to the army of the Caucasus, and which
the enemy thought secure from any naval attack.
By the skilfulness of the arrangements, and
the manner in which they were executed by Cap-
tain Osborne, in which he was ably seconded by
Commander John J. Kennedy, the enterprise was
effected in the most brilliant manner, by landing

on three points under cover of the gun-boats of
the Allies in the faca of not less than 4,000
