LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1855.

LETTEVS FR OM. THE CRIMEA.

CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, 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 Allies are
.busily - occupied in
perfectine, their approaches against the Malikhoff
Tower and Redan, particularly the former positibn.
The enemy is
,engaged with equal activity in
strengthening and adding to their defences. From
the enormous number of gabions Been to be brought
over, it is suspected that the Russians are also con-
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, hut this does not appear pro-
bable. The argument used to defend this sup-
posed arrangement has been that, being already
in possessiou.of so great an extent of the attacks,
both on tlie left and right, the French would not
find the addition of the centre a 4 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 likelp.however,
that having once undertaken a share in the great
work, the British commander would consent to

abandon it, even althouglty,ly 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 pact
of the British force would shortly leave for more
active campaigning ; but nothingis known respect-
ing the intended operation, or wnat 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. TI-ere
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 wreaths of laurel and .cypress ; but an
ordinary gun carriage formed an 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 ticked 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 costuwes 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 brought 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 fined 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 barge,
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. Half an
hour afterwards the sun set, 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 bees 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 Inkerman. 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-gun battery.
There was none when the Russians abandoned it
on the Bth of June, their covered way to the
Selinghinsk redoubt in front being a sufficient
protection. It became 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 fromthe 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 communica-
tion 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 Karabelnaia suburb will be very de-
structive.

The enemy has undertaken a work of great la
hour. 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 of the Redan near the salient angle. A
large quantity of earth has already been thiown up
on the 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, i 4 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
Star Fort, are ztic::.:3 cf the 13,11,:5i.:..n ambulances. Al-
though the greater number of the tents composing
these camps are completely under view, and, with a
good.telescope au individual moving among them can
g be readily distinguished, there is nem observed
• - _ _ •.

the movements, or constant ingress and egress,
which characterise 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 wounded, 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 arrival of the
immense convoys which used to he seen of carts
c)uveying saCkS apparently of. grain. The two
huge pyramidal 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 . placed at no. great distance , from
several. of the large .encampments of, square tents,
which have been supposed to he ambulance
establishments. The = part 'recently formed is
readily discerned and distinguishied from the
older part of the ceinetery., ..Thef.former is com-
posed of immense mounds of dark-coloured earth,
at . the eastern ofmwhich can always be seen the
opening of 'a largo pit. . The datier• is made
up of single" graves; each bearing a smell cross
of black or white wood. The Sage mounds are
without crosses: At one part of the recently-formed
cemetery is an enclosed grave of some pretension.
Through the palings which bound it ou each side
can be seen two white objects, probably stone
tablets, one .at each end, and of different sizes.
The recent part of the cemetery nnvi occupies nearly
half the extent of the older portion. Evellt morn-
ing a fa,tigpe party of soldiers airives.at this grave-
field, the men pile their arena 'take off their coats,
and set to work in forming one urge pit or excava-
tiou. The same party appeaxs 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 t 1). siege.
A body of met' 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 trifling.
The Russians also fired at a party of men belonging
to one of the Highland regiments, who imprudently
showed themselves on the open ground above the
21-gun battery, as they were returning from the
trenches. Their object was merely to effect a short
saving in distance, 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. Remouard James, of the Royal En-
gineers, wai 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 the 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 not be found, it was surmised that
he might perhaps have returned to camp on some
account, and the Sappers came back without him.
No tidings have been heard all day, and there is
little doubt that he was quietly taken prisoner by
some advanced Russian picket. A further search
is to be made to-night, in 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 night 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 Malakhoff works.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 Russian
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 Constantine 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
'lnkerman 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 servicesi beingwas just

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-
ing 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 wore, 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 atmo3.
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 nigh.
As usual, it consisted chiefly of mortar-practice,
excepting in front, where the working parties
were employed, and against whom grape, as well
as shell, is constantly used.
