THr FALr or SEvAsroroI.-The grand
hoax of the day continues to excite discus
sion in the English prints. It is agresd that
the moon hoax of that funny fellow, Locke.
the sIievegammon hoax Of the New York
Tribune, the various hoaxes invented by the
great humbugger. Barnum, all fade into In.
significance by the side Of the colossal hoax
of Sevastopol. The amount Of powder vast
ed In celebrating that event would have suf.
decd to blow up both Sevastopol and Cron-
atadt. The French frigate Iphigenie. lying
in the harbor Of New York, nearly stunned
the good people Of that city with the roar of
her cannon over the great victory. Any
quantity Of devout gratitude was wasted in
the various churches for those Russians, who,
it was supposed, had been mercifuliy taken
to another world. but who. itnow appears, are
still alive and kicking. There has undoubt-
edly been very useless expenditure OF pow
der and Drag. But the exultation has been
probably only premature; very likely Sevas-
topol will yet be taken, and they can consi-
der the victory as already celebrated. If
however, the fortress should manage to hold
ont. the allies must feel and look very fool
ish. According to the latest accounts, if in
deed any accounts, late or early, are to bere-
lied upon, the allies have fought the battle OF
Alma, and have forced successfully various
positions of the Russians, until, as the Lon
don Times says, they are masters ofthe whole
open country between the Alma and the
South coast Prince Menschikoff, with 10000
men, is awaiting reinforcements from the gar
rison of Anapa, which, the Times thinks,
can scarcely add more than 10000 men to bis
army. 1t is also said that body of $4,000
men under Generals Ostensacken and Luz
ders is advancing to join him from Odessa
1t seems probable, therefore, that Sevastopol
will be able to hold out for some time, and
make respectable fight before it surrenders.
According to the New York Herald, it is the
intention of the Car, as soon as the ice sets
in in the Baltic. to withdraw as many of his
troops as he can spare from the Northern
portion of his territories, in order to prose-
cute the war in the South with greater vigor
than ever. 1t is a wonder they have not been
sent there already, as the Baltic squadron is
evidently unable to strike any important
blow in that quarter.
