Later from Europe,
THE WAR.

Lord Raglan was buried on the 3rd of
July, with oil the pomp which circumstances
permitted.
There are rumors that Pelssier is about
to be superseded.
Since the repulse Of the 18th June, the
Allies have been strengthening their ad.
vances against the Malakoif, and Pelisseras
latest dispatch. dated July 4, says his works
are progressing satifactorily.
General Simpson telegraphed on the -4slr
that there was nothing new since bis las.
accounts. ' V
The main facts have been already stated
Of the unsuccessful attack upon SeVastopol
on the 18th of June. The papers per the
Canada contain further details, including,
the dispath Of Pelissier :.
1t is stated that Gen. Margans French
Division, on the way to attack the fort on
the extreme right, by the Careening HarJ'
bor commenced on the attack prematurely,
and before the other division had taken
their ground. Margan fell mortally wound
ed, and his division being thrown into dis
order, the Russians turned their cohcen-'s
trated fire upon the next division as it came
up under General Brunei, and shattered it
badly Orders were then given to with
draw the troops into the trenches, althoughs
Gen. Autevane had meantime reached the
Malakof Tower. The retreat was elected
with good order but with great loss. .s
When Lord Raglan saw the defeat Of
first French Division, he hastily ordered an
attack on the Redan, to effect diversion
in favor Of the French, although it was pre-
-.
viouSly intended that the British should not
attack until the French should have cap
tured the Malakof, inasmuch as the Mala-
koff's guns quite commanded the Redan.
So far as civilians at distance could Judge,
Lord Raglan's order to attack was great
error, for the British storming party, not
being sufficiently strong to cover the works,
were repulsed with much slaughter. A Gu
rious incident is, that Gen. Eyre, with 1900
British troops, penetrated into the suburbs
of Sevastopol itself, and held possession Of
the houses in one street for seventeen hours,
Out being totally unsupported, be retired
at nightfall. The inference is, that had the
assault been general, or systematically
planned, the city would have fallen, or at
least its first line Of defence might have
have been carried. ta .flrsis s,.stc.s
