destroyed by an explosion. It was one story high, and was
knocked to peiees by the force only t,tx pounds of
Lich became accidentally ignited within it, Mo s
fortunately no injury was done to the central magazine, which
was close at hand, but detached, or otherwise the consequence
might have been more disastrous. The wife and daughter of
the porter were so severely injured that their lives are des-
paired of. It appears, contrary to the rule prescribed to him
he bad allowed his wife and daughter to aid him in taking pow-
der cut of the magazine, and that these females were impru-
dently making up the powder into packets while they bad
chautferettes under their feet. Some of the powder falling
upon one of the chaufferetes caused the explosion.—Ga-
lismanf s Messenger.

CIRCASSIA.—I have got some details about Circassia at
last. A great battle was in reality fought between the moun-
taineers and the Russians in the middle of October. It com-
menced in the pass of /tarnish, only about six miles from the
castle of Sotcha. The Russians had about 8,000 Georgian
and Mingrelian cavalry, with 10,000 or 12,000 of their infan-
try. The former led the van, and were attacked in the pass
so vigorously that they were put completely to the rout.
They fell back upon the infantry, to whoni their own panic
was communicated, and the whole flying en masse to the coast
hotly pursued by their victors. The slaughter was dreadlul,
no less than 3,500 of the Russian party being left dead on the
field. Some escaped to the ships, which, 40 in number, were
lying within gunshot of the shore ; others were drowned in an
attempt to swim off ; and the rest of the survivors made good
their retreat in dreadful confusion to Sotcha, were they col-
lected, and intrenched themselves. Few prisoners were
made, for the Circassians, being less than 6,000 in number,
could not embarrass themselves with such an incumbrance,
and put to the sword nearly all such of the enemy as fell into
their hands. All the horses, and an immense quantity
of arms and baggage, were the booty of the heroic mountain
eers, whose loss did not, according to their accounts, exceed
450 men hors de combat. After this defeat the Russians
sued for peace, and got for answer that the Circassians would
make peace if the Russians would first evacuate the fortresses
on the coast. But they would not treat without intervention.
They proposed that after the evacuation a delegate from the
Russian General and another from the Circassians should be
sent to Constantinople, where a treaty should be made with
the concurrence, and under the guarantee, of the Porte and
the great European Powers. This proposal not meeting with
the approbation of the Russians, they, after remaining before
Sotcha about 20 days, embarked in their ships, and sailed
away, leaving the accustomed garrison in that place. The
Circassians intend to attack all the castles on the coast (Anafa
excepted) during the winter. The harvest having been fine,
they have abundance of food for man and beast, ,and expect
to be very suceessful, since last winter, though suffering
severely from the dearth of provisions, they managed to sack
five castles. The Russians. therefore, in Circassia, do not
recline ou beds of roses. The European Powers ought by
all means to interfere to stop the useless and demoralizing
effusion of blood.—Malta Times.
