 Cranaea Sept 9-8 P. NJ.
 This morning ascertained that the enemy had sunk his steamers
 Their work of destruction continued under the fire four shells. The explosion of mines successively, and on different points, made it our duty to defer our entrance into the place, which presents the spec tacle of an immense conflagration.
 Closely pressed by our fire, Prince Gortscha- kotf has demanded an armistice to carry away the remainder of the wounded near Fort St. Paul.
 The bridge, as precautionary measure, has been broken down by his orders.

 From the London Times, Sept. II.
 The Eau of Sebastopol.
 On Saturday, the 9th of September within a few days of the anniversary of the landing of the allied forces in the Crimea, and 316 days after the opening of the beseiging batteries against Sebastopo, on the 17th of August, 1855, a final and victorious assault was made upon the southern part of the town. Before night the French flag waved in triumph upon the Malakoff tower, which had fallen before the indomitable courage and perseverance, of the assaants, and within few hours more the Rus sian garrison had evaCuted the Karabelnaia su- burbs and the southern portion of the fortress, after blowing up the magazines and principal works, setting fire to the town in many places. and then endeavoring to withdraw across the harbor from this terrific scene of devastation and defeat. So fell Sebastopol. The catastrophe surpasses in horrible interest all the preceding scenes of this gigantic contest. The columns of the allied armies, combined in fourfold at tack, struggled all day with equal valor though with unequal success against the principal points marked out for assault The extreme right of French attack was directed against the work called the Little Redan, which was at first carried by the mpetuosity of our allies, though they were subsequently, driven back by the fierce resistance of the Russians The second and principal assault of the French army was against the Malakoff, which was carried by storm and determined by its fall the fate, not only of the day, but of the seige. A third at tack was made by the British forces on the Great Redan, and, although we learn that the salient angle of this formidable work was at one moment carried and occupied by our troops it must be added that they were subsequently driven out of it by the fire of the Russian bat teries which commanded it, and this check in some degree diminishes the exultaton which will be felt in this country at the triumphant termination of the seize. The French columns on the left also assailed, in the fourth place the Central Battery, but failed to establish them selves in the work. We have no doubt that every man who attacked the defcnces of Sebas topol on that eventful day fought with the same undaunted gallantry and the same determation to carry the place or to perish in the attempt and although the results of these several at tacks were unequal, all were animated by the same spirit and contributed to the great result The first prize of this glorious victory belongs of right to our gallant allies, the French, since the Maakoff tower, the key of the main posi- tion, fell before the vigor of their assault; but with that chivarous feeling which is the mo- blest band of men who have fought and con- quered together, the names of all those who carried the rugged defences of Sebastopol de- serve to stand side by side on one page, and nc invidious distinctions shall suly or lessen the common renown.
 The Russians on their side unquestionably defended the place with the utmost determina- ton, and on more than one point they had the advantage over the besegers. But it was the courage of desperation, for this effort was theil last No sooner were the outer works taken, which laid the town and the port al the mercy of the allied forces, than the men-of-war and steamers in the harbor were all set on fire, blowr up sunk, or destroyed, by the fire of the allied batteries or by the orders of the Russian au thorities.
 Such was the fate of the Russian Black sef feet on which the imperial government had
