Full accounts are now to hand Of the bonn
bardment of Odessa. As surmised, the affair
was far from decisive, being mere destruc-
tion without result The British accounts
report the attacking force as the English
steamers Samson, Terrible, Tiger, Retrbution,
Furious; French steamers Mogador, Nauban
Dascartes and Cation; also, detachmants Of
English rocket boats. The mode Of attack
was-the steamers continued for II hours to
sail round in circle of half a mile in diam
eter, 1000 yards distant from the batteries,
and each steamer delivered fire as it passed,
the rocket boats continuing to throw twenty
four pound rockets to set the town on fire.
The steamers also threw edhot shot.
The Russians fought with extreme bravery.
replying to the fire of the ships. Towards
night one battery becoming untenabe, It's fire
became slower, though regular; and at length,
the shipping in the rear being on fire, it was
silenced. During the action, red-hot shot
from the steamer Terrible blew up the Rus
silenced formidable battery. Three Rus
sian frigates in the harbor took fire and burn
ed to the waters edge, also II smaller ships,
and two ships of war building. The rockets
also set the lower part of the city on lire,

Three of the attacking steamers were dis
abled, and the Vauban was set on fire. but it
was extinguished The British estimate their
loss at less than 20 killed and wounded. The
Russians estimate theirs at 20 killed and 60
wounded.
The British admiral, after the action, sen:
circular to the fleet, stating that he had in
fllcted retrlbution on the Russians for firing
on flag of truce.
The Russian accounts look as like the
truth as the British. Russia says that on
March 27. the British steamer Furious APP
preached Odessa. Two guns, without ball,
were fired from the batteries. and the Furi-
Gus ordered not to approach nearer The
steamer thereupon stopped, and sent boat
ashore with a flag of truce. The boat was
respected and allowed to land al the wharf
when it was sent back to the Furious with
the information that the British Consul had
left. The Furious, however, again got up
steam, and approached nearer as if to sur
vey, on which the batteries fired seven shots
not on the boat with flag Of truce, but or
the advancing frigate, which then left. On

came to Odessa to demand an explanation

A RELIC.-We havehad handed to us an

was last week dug up at the old fort six
feet beneath the surface. Nothing but the
blade and iron portion of the handle are left.
The blade is much corroded and is for two
thirds of its length, notched like saw. 1t
looks as though it may have seen service ;
but how long since it was deposited at the
old fort, is beyond conjecture. The sword
may be seen at this Office Newark Times.
