The Canada arrived at II o'clock, last

davs later. IT is highly interesting and
important. We give the following sum
mary Of the intelligence, in regard to the
commencement and progress of the siege. |
The official dispatch from Admiral Dun
daS, General Canrobert and Admiral Ham
lin had been received on the l7th-the |
first day of the bombarimcnt. The Ad-
mirals' fleets, with the whole Of the fleets.

the sea batteries south and north of the har-
Dor. The French squadron took up po-
sition about seven cables length from the
batteries. On them were fixed the $50
guns of the Quarantine batteries of the fort
Alexander and the Artillery battery. On,
the English squadron were fixed the l5O
guns Of Fort Constantine and the Tclegh
battery and the Moxilian battery to north.
The land forces We're placel upon the
hcighth of Sebastopol in formidable and
advantageous position. The actions, so
far as the fleets are concerned, lasted from
half past II to half past q T. NJ, when, be-
ing quite dark, the Ships were hauled off.
Admiral Hamlin stated in his dispatch
that if the Russians had not closed the
entrance of the harbOr by sinking five YES
sells and two frigates, the Allied Squad
ron could, after five hours, have success
fully run in and placed themselves in COM
lnunication with the land army without
perhaps greater loss than they have actU-
ally sustained. At the commencement of
the action the enthusiasm was extreme; al
so during the action before the firing. Ad-
miral Ilamln made the signal. The French
sailors and troops, observing which, repli-
ell by shouts, "Nive PEmperor!" The
English loss on the ship board is: Lieut..
Chase and Madden, killed. and sixteen Of
tcers wounded; in all forty four killed and
266 wounded. The ships are considerably
damaged by shot and shell. The French
