DESPATCHES FROM ADMIRAL LYONS.
ADMIRALTY Ave. 18. . ,
Despatches, of which the following are copies, hare
been received from Rtar-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons,
G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and
vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Aug. 4.
" Sir,—ln continuation of the proceedings of the
squadron in the Sea of Azoff since those which were re-
ported in my letter of the 30th ult. (No. 613), I have
the honour to enclose, for the information of the Lord,.
Commissioners of the Admiralty, a copy of a letter from
Commander Sherard 0-born, of the Vesuvius, the se-
nior officer in that sea, reporting to me the steps he had
taken to harass the enemy as much as possible. and to
punish him at Berdiansk fur having fired at some of our
people, although the town had been previously spared
on the plea of its being defenceless.
Commander Osborn does not fail to point out and to
do justice to the merits of the officers by whom he has
been so ably seconded, and he particularly mentions
Commander Rowley Lambert, of the Curlew, the officer
next i:s seniority to himself, who has on all occasions
been conspicuous for his activity and gallantry.
Commander Osborn has also, on several occasions,
borne the highest te,timony to the merits of those gal-
lant officers, Lieutenant William Horton, commanding
the Ardent, and Lieutenant John E. Commerell, com-
manding the Weser.—l an', &c ,
(Signed) EDMUND LYONS,
Rear-Admiral and Commander in-Chief.
The Secretary of the Admiralty, &c.

Her Majesty's ship Vesuvius, Arabat Spit,
July 25, 1855.
Sir,—Since my last letter I have fully succeeded in
destroying, by means of submarine explosions, the four
Russians steamers sunk in Berdiansk Bay ; and as the
enemy I.a I, Iron the houses of the western suburb of
Berdiansii, twice fired upon our peop'e, whil-t peaceably
and ueguardedly employed, I cemidered it right that
much a dishonourable course, from a t .ven which ha
nee' spared under plea of being defencele-s, should be
severely punished, and the more so as Berliansk had
been treated with unusual leniency upon the occasion
of our former visits.
I therefore, on the 22,1 of July, caused to he destroyed
the western suburb, which had screened their riflemen,
and succeeded in discovering and setting fire to no less
than ten large granaries, tilled with wheat, each ave-
raging about 200 tons in capacity, and several flour mills
which have been employed night and day grinding for
the use of the Russians.
The church and majer portion of the town I spared,
although nearly every house we searched contained grain
5 . large quantities, and the whole place might be con-
,k Bred little else than a general granary.
Toe dangerous service of lan ling in so large a town,
with bodies of Cossacks threatening, was entrusted to
Comina,,der Rowley Lambert, Lieut. Hubert Campion
(senior of this ship), Lieut. Hewett, her Majesty's steam
vessel 8.-agle, aunt Lieut. Marryat, her Majesty's steam-
vessel Crack, r, and the skill with which it was executed
re&cts the hi4hest ci edit upon their zeal and judgmet,t
The operations were admirably covered by the gun-
boats under Lieuts. Grylls' Cornmerell, and Townsend,
and In r Maj-sty's ships Vesuvius and Curlew ; the
a.t.,r tinder charge of her zealous First Lieutenant,
C. J. Rowley.
Oe toe 24Ct July I rejoined Lieutenant Horton, her
Majesty's steam-vessel Ardent. He, I foetid, bad not
been idle; and with the assistance of the Clinker, Lieut.
Stintnett, and Wrangler, Lieut. Burgoyne, very much
damage had been done to the enemy from Ghenitch to
Otaitotchna Spit, in the destruction of forage, fish, stores,
and launches.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) SIIERAAD OsnoriN,
Commander and Senior Officer.

Commander-in:Chief.

With reference to the above despatches, the under-
mentioned officers have this day been promoted :—Com-
tnAnder Sherard Osborn, to be captain ; Lieutenant
