OFFICIAL DESPATOILES FROM FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN.

(From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR-DEPARTWENT, APRIL 6.

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B.:—
Before Sebastopol, March 24, 1855.
My Lord,—On the morning of the 22d the French
troops in the advanced parallel moved forward, and
drove the enemy out of the rifle pits in their immediate
front, but nothing of any importance occurred during
the day.
Early in the night, however, a serious attack was
made upon the works of our Allies in front of the Vic-
toria redoubt, opposite the Malakoff tower.
The night was very dark, and the wind so high, that
the firing which took place, and which was very heavy,
c )uld scarcely be heard in the British camp; it is therefore
difficult to speak with certainty of what occurred from
amy thing that could be heard or observed at the
moment.

It appears, however, that tbe Russians, after attack-
ing the head of the sap which the French are carrying
on towards the Mamelon, felt with two heavy masses on
their new parallel, to the rear of which they succeeded
in penetrating and momenta:.-ily possessing themselves
of, after a gallant resistance on the pat t of our Allies.
Having broken through, they passed along the pa-
rallel and in rear of it, until --,hey came in contict with
the troops stationed in our advanced parallel extending
into the ravine, from the right of our advance, where it
connects with the French trench.
The enemy vms here met by detaChments of the 77th
and 97th Regiments, forming part of the guard of the
trenches, who, although thus taken suddenly both in
flank and rear, behaved with the utmost gallantry and
coolness.

The detachments of the 97th, which was on the ex-
treme right, and which consequently first came in con-
tact with the enemy, repulsed the attack at the point of
the bayonet.
They were led by Captain Vicars, who unfortunately
lost his life on the occasion ; and I am assured that
nothing could be more distinguished than the gallantry
and good example which he set to the detachment under
his command.

The conduct of the detachment of the 77th was
equally distinguished ; and the firmness and prompti-
tude with which the attack, in this part of our works,
was met, were in the highest degree creditable to that
regiment.
The troops were under the direction of Major Gordon,
of the Royal Engineers, who was wounded on the occa-
sion so severely, as for some time, I fear, to deprive
the army of the benefit of his valuable services.
The attention of the troops in our advanced works
having been by these transactions drawn to the right,
the enemy took occasion to move upon, and succeeded
in penetrating into the left front of our right attack,
nearithe battery where two 10-inch mortars have re-
cently been placed. They advanced along the works
until they were met by a detachment of the 7th and
34th regiments, which had been at work in the neigh-
bourhood, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel
Tylden, of the Royal Engineers, who promptly made them
stand to their arms, and led them with the greatest
determination and steadiness against the enemy, who
were speedily ejected from the works and fairly pitched
over the parapet, with but little or no firing on our part.
Lieutenant-Colonel Tylden speaks in the highest terms
of the conduct of the troops on this occasion, and par-
ticularly of that of Lieutenant Marsh, Acting-Adjutant
of the 33d Regimen, whose services and activity
throughout the night were very useful to him.
Captain the Hon. Cavendish Browne, of the 7tb, and
Lieut. Jordan, of the 34th Regiment, were unfortunately
killed in this attack, after displaying the most distin-
guished gallantry, and Lieut. M'Henry of the former
'regiment was wounded, but I hope not very severely.
Lieut.-Col. Kelly, of the 34th Regiment, who commanded
in the trenches, i., I regret to have to add, missing.
The French, in retiring from their advanced parallel
upon their supports, speedily rallied, and fell upon the
enemy, whom they repulsed with great loss, and followed
so far up towards the Mamelon, that they were enabled
to level and destroy nearly all the " ambuscades " or
"rifle concealments" erected along their front.
I fear, however, that this flucess has ne,t been ac-
complished without considerable loss on their part, al-
though that of the enemy is much greater.
Yesterday the whale of the ground between the posts
of the two armies was covered with their dead, amount-
ing to several hundreds besides those which they had
undoubtedly carried off before daylight.
In the meanwhile the enemy in great numbers found
their way into the advanced batteries on our extreme
left, which are not yet armed, and momentarily got pos-
session of them.

The working parties were, however, speedily collected
and reformed by Captain Chapman, of the 20th Regi-
ment, Acting-Engineer; and they at once drove the
enemy out of the trenches with the utmost gallantry.
Captain Montague, of the Royal Engineers, who was
superintending the works, unfortunately fell into the
hands of the enemy.
I enclose the return of casualties to the 22d, inclusive.
The wind is excessively high, but the weather is in
other respects fine.—l have, &c.,

The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.

THE NIAGARA SUSPEASION BRIDGE.

A correspondent of the New York Daily Times
gives the following description of this bridge, over
which the first train passed on the 18th March :
The great work of the age is completed. A suspension
railroad bridge across the Niagara river is no longer a
. .

question of doubt, but a matter of fact. What had—been
pronounced by some of the most eminent engineers in
the world both impossible and imprActicable has now
proved possible and highly practicable. It is no longer
a chimera, but a reality, whose future promises benefits
of inestimable value. The success of the work, though
some days since deemed certain by the passage of loco-
motives from the Canala to the American shore, was
not fully established until the 18th inst., when its

powers were put to a test, demonstrating beyond dis-
pute, and in a manner calculated to remove all doubt

from the most sceptical mind, its capability of support-
ing any weight which it will ever be required to bear.
The connection between the New York- Central Rail-
road and that of the Great Western, in Canada, was not
completed,until late on the 17th inst., but at half-past
ten o'clock on the morning of the 18th the first train
started from the British side, 'and crossing the bridge at
moderate speed, ran on the track of the New York
Central Railroad. Consisting of a locomotive, tender,
and 22 heavily laden freight cars, it covered the entire
bridge. The weight of the train was about 350 tons, but
neither this nor the furious snow squall by which its
passage was inaugurated caused the slightest per-
ceptible vibration iu the structure. Scientific observation
detected, however, a depression of about nine inches,
' which was less then had been anticipated.
Crossing the Niagara river at a height of 245 feet from
its surface, commanding on one side a full view of that
mighty waterfall, the wonder of the world, and on the
other a partial one of the renowned whirlpool, whose
fearful eddies defy the approach of the boldest navigator
and the roost fearless adventurer, the Suspension-bridge
presents one of the most imposing sights the eye ever
rested on. Viewed from a distance, its elevation and
great length, as it stretches over the river in an unbroken
span Of 822 feet, give to it a fragile appearance ; but a
near approach reveals its enormous strength.
It is supported by four wire cables, which are carried
over four stone towers • the ends of these cables being
strongly anchored anefirmly secured in a solid bank of
masonry, into which they are sunk from 25 to 30 feet.
The height of the two towers on the Canada side is 78
feet, while that of those on the American side is 88 feet.
The diameter of each of the four great cables is 10 inches,
and they each contain 3,640 wires ; in the four there
are, consequently, 14,560 wires. The weight of the sn•
perstructure is 750 tons ; that of the supporting strength
of the cable is 7,000 tons, while their ultimate strength is
12,400 toes. From each of these cables there hang, in
nearly a vertical direction, and at a distance of about
four feet apart, smaller wire cables of about one and a-
half inches in diameter. By these the superstructure is
suspended ; and one of the most interesting features in
this portion of the work is, that it forms a double bridge ;
for directly under, and sixteen feet below the platform
on which the track of the railroad is laid, is another
platform forming a bridge for foot passengers and for
vehicles of all descriptions. This iS connected with the
upper platform or railroad bridge; by a trusswork of
wood and iron of extraordinary strength. A few feet
at each end of the lower or carriage bridge rest on
stone abutments. It is braced in every possible man-
ner, and so completely stayed by heavy lateral cables
attached to the under sides, secured in the cliffs and in
the rocks at their base, near the edge and on each side
of the river, that the most furious winter gales do not
cause the slightest perceptible vibration. The railroad
bridge is crossed by a single track, on both aides of
which is sufficient space for foot passengers to pass. It
is laid with four parallel rails, so arranged as to form an
equal number of gauges, which is a novel and valuable
arrangement, as it is thus made available to locomotives
and cars of roads having gauges of various widths.
For the above particulars we are indebted to Mr.
John A. Roebling, the engineer by whom the work was
projected, and under whose supervision it has been con-
structed. He is a Prussian by birth, but has resided
many years in America. In the conception and execu-
tion of this great undertaking, and in the production of
what had been pronounced by eminent scientific contem-
poraries an impossibility, he has greatly distinguished
himself, and has erected an enduring monument of fame,
on which millions will yet gaze with wonder and de-
light.

Of its kind and as a work of art it is unequalled. It is
the only railway suspension bridge in the world now
completed. It is, moreover, a double suspension bridge.
The celebrated bridge at Friburg, in Switzerland, is, but is a carriage bridge only. Stephenson s
beautiful ;
famous Britannia railway bridge is a stupendous work,
but that, too, is a single one) and built on piers, between
which the greatest span is but 460 feet.
