Berlin, May 5. The Journal oc Odessa
contains the following bulletin -" Hussein
Pacha, who had assembled near Bourgas
1000 infantry and 1900 cavalry, attacked
on the 9th of April at day break, with his
whole. force, the mountain redo,rbt near
Sissipoli, which Major Lehadoff, with the
second battalion of the regiment Azoff, de-
Tended with the greatest bravery. The at
tack of the Turks was terrible, in spite of
the fire of grape shot, from eight guns, sup
ported BY well directed fire of musketry,
and by grenades that were thrown out of
the trenches. An officer of the regular
troops, in the service of Hussein Pacha,
and three other Turks, succeeded in climb
ing the parapet, and penetrating to the in
terror of the redoubt, where they fell pierre
ed with wonnds. At the moment of the
first alarm, the troops forming the garrison
of Sissipoli assembled with astonishing ra-
pidity in the parade before the place, from
which Gen. Wachten sent them against the
enemy, viz. two battalions to the r,nht and
two to the left, and he himself at the head
of one of these battalons, and two guns
supported by the regiment of Dneprofsk,
marched against the right flank of the enc
redoubt with great impetuosty. All the
troops advanced with drums beating and
loud huzzas, and rushed on the enemy with
fixed hayonets, the two guns keeping Up a
brisk fire of grape shot. The Turks, attack
ed on all sides, and exposed to most vDlent
fire, were wholly broken, and fee, il the
greatest confusion. The loss of the encmy

INFANT School ExH1n,r,or On Thurs.

INFANT SCHOOL EXHIBITION. On Thurs
day morning, 8 o'clock, the Bedford-street
Infant School was examined in the Rev.
Mr.. Green's church, Essex-stree The
church was filled with spectators, who ap-
peared much pleased with the exhibition.
In some remarks made by Mr.. Macom, he
mentioned the fact that these scholars
were. in the highest sense of the word,
charity scholars, and remarked that those
most eptitled to the name, from their ten
der age, or almost utter restitution of de-
cent diess, were not present. He said that
benevolence had sought them out in such
contaminated and miserobly wretched fam
lies, that one of the little scholars had been
repeatedly sent to the school ny its brutal
parents in a state of intoxication. The
President of the Society which supports
this school, hut few days since, repaired
to the wretched dwelling of some of the
scholars. She found a child with no cloth
ing but remnant of shirt about its shout
ders. lying under cold current of air from
a shattered window-the parents were
drunk A little retired from the scene OF
intoxcation, she found two of her Infant
School scholars sitting on shed, solacng
themselves by singing one of their school
hymns. The collection taken up on the &C.
casion amounted to $I2S GO.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. Our atten-
ton was called last week, 10y friend in
Peatl-street, to an immense quantity of
flies of peculiar kind, which covered the
whole side walk and door steps. In few
hours, all of them shed their wings, and be-
came bugs, something in the shape of the
common black pismire, and then again in a
short time, either crawled off, or we're
trodden to death by the people in passing.

that this is the fourth gear that this clrcum.

SHORTENING OF LIFE IN ENGLAND. A
report of consider able interest has been re-
Gently made to parliament, respecting the
Lo'o Of mortality Of the Government life
AnnuitantS." from which i, appears thnt tHc
duration of human life is shorter than it was
nifty or one hundred years since, notwith
standing the introduction of the kline pox,
and the advancement of medical science.
1t IS also ascertained that the life of woman
is longer than that of man. The latter
fact is accounted for IVY the circumstances
that women do not eat and drink to excess
as men do; and they are not compelled to
encounter such hardshps, nor are so much
exposed to accidents. The shortening of
life on the aggregate, in Great Britain, is
accounted for by the fact, "that in high life
people are more luxurious and idle, and
death carries them off faster than formerly.
and in low life people have not so much to
eat and to drink, nor are they as we'll
