| The British troops attempted the storming of
Redan-+he French Malakoff. The extreme right
of the French made diversion on Little Redan,
and united their attack with the English. French
and Sardinians made an attack on the Central bat.

All these attacks appear to have been made ST.
multaneousy, and with great spirit and energy but
the one eminently successful, and the one which
eventually decided the fate of the day, was that
made by Generals Basquet and Mcmahon on MaI~
akof.
Both Redan and the Central Bastion were at times
in possession of the stormng parties, but accu-
rately did the guns Of the enemy their works,
that as soon as we had gained possession of them
and the Russians evacuated, the fire which opened
upon our men was so murderous that we found it
impossible to hold the position so gloriousuly won.
The French Eagles once floating over Malakoff
the victory was half gained. The bombardmens
continued with increased impetuosty and ferceness
Having now the Southern part of the town within
range of our mortars an internal fire opened on
the doomed city, the effect of which was that in
short time the whole city was in flames and literally
reduced to ashes.
There is great rejoicing in England and France
Bells were rung and guns fred. AL Paris was bril-
antly Illuminated.
Another unsuccessful attempt was made to take
the life of Napoleon at the Theatre Itaen.

The affair has been undoubtedly grossly e4agge-
rated.
The Russians have firmly concentrated in the
North, where they will henceiorth command unity
in movement and action. Their position is cousid-
cred formidable, bristling innumerable guns which
the Brussels Nord" says a compact army viii be
able to defend.
The same paper applauds Gortschakoff's move
ment, whereby useless effusion of blood was pre-
vented, and the Russian army saved.
Sebastopol South is therefore replaced by Sebas-
topol North,
All specllations as to the future are imaginary.
The Allied commanders telegraphed that it was
not expedient to enter the harbor until fort Con-
stantine was silenced, also that Gortschakoff was
determined to hold the North to the last extremity
The London Post estimates the English loss in
the assault on Redan at 300 killed and 400 wound
ed, including lao officers The Paris Moniteur
computes the number of dead at 1000, including
10 superior officers

LAKE SUPERIOR MINING REGIoE.-The Chi |
cagO tribune contains some important IaCtS
relating to copper mining in that region.
Five thousand tons, mine weight, or $500
tons of ingot copper have been produced this
season! The entire product of the world is
set down at $4,000 tons, one-seventeenth of
which is furnished by Lake Superior mines.
And should the total product of the Lake Su-
perior mines increase as it has within the past
twelve months, in very few years they will
produce more copper than the English mines.
The product of the ensuing year, it is thought,
win be much greater than that of the present.
The value of this years yield is estimated at
sl,75O,00O. .-.....
