taken.

The Mortality OF scutari.
Feb. 26.-The mortality at Scutari and
Kululee remains at the average of the last fort
night. AT Scutari there we're on the I'D, 81
burials; on the 23d 80; on the Oath 30; on the
25th 81. At Kululee the burials on the I'D,
23d and oath were ID, 10 and IL, respectively.

since it was over 20.

Dispatches from Lord Raglan.
BEFORE SEBAsToPoI, February "a, 1866
Ny Lord: The weather has improved since !
wrote my dispatch of the goth instant.
The snow is still on the ground, and the nights
are cold; but the wind has subsidized, and we
have to-day bright sunshine.
Considerable activity continues to prevail in
the movement Of the enemy's troops on the
north side Of the harbor, and conveys of wagons
are constantly arriving, and the object of the
Russians would appear to fortify the heights
extending to their left, and looking upon the
valley of the Tchernaya.
The troops of the garrison having lodged
themselves on the point of the spur of the ridge
from Inkerman, over the Careening Bay, at
about three hundred yards from the new French
parallel, on the extreme right, General Canro-
bert determined to disodge them; and this was
CALAMITY effected at two O'Clock this morning,
by one hundred FIVE hundred men, under the
immediate command of General Monet, and
the direction of General Mayran, with, however,
regret to say, some loss, the consequence Of
the heavy fire which was brought to bear upon
them from the enemy's batteries and the ship
ping. whilst they were engaged in demolishing
the works. When this object was accomplished,
they withdrew to the trenches, as had been their
intention.
The gallant General Monet is, am much
concerned to have to add, among the wounded.
Lieutenant General Sir George Brown has,
am happy to say, resumed the command of
the light division, in perfect health.
The railway is getting on remarkably well,
and the exertions of Mr.. Beattie, who is super
intending the work, are unremitting, and en-
title him to great praise. have, &C..

The Russian Defeat Mt Eupatorfa.
EUPAToRIA, Feb. 1.-THE ground surround
ing Eupatoria is vast sandy plain, broken
now and then by hillocks, and close TO the en-
trenchments, by two or three small ravines.
To the extreme right there is a large salt lake,
which completely protects it on that side, and
on the left an eminence Of no great elevation
runs away in a northwesterly direction till lost
in the distance.
Upon the summit Of this were two large
masses Of Russian cavalry, lancers, and dra-
goons, drawn up in squares, and further on to
the right were huge columns of infantry-some
displayed on the slope, but larger numbers still,
/ suspect, were behind the hill, the glittering of
their bayonets when the sun rose being dis
tnctly visible. In front of these, in long line,
we're at least seventy guns, about third of
which were pouring torrent of shot upon the
Turkish outwork, and the adjacent portions Of
the entertainment in the rear, the fire being
vigorously returned, not only from the point of
attack but from all the redoubts on the left
and centre of the Turkish lines.
Anything more picturesque than the fash
and smoke Of the guns, before the day broke
