much easier to raise piles than to drive
them down, and that these can be raised
no doubt is entertained. Once up,
small steamers and gun-boats can pass,
and St. Petersburg must share the fate
of Kerteh. The proceedings in the sea
Of Azoff are to be repeated in the upper
part of the Calf Of Finland. The de-
fences Of the Neva betrayed conscious
ness that such an attack was probable,
else why were defences thought of?
TIE BLOODY RKPuLsE OF THE Al
LIES BEFORE SEvAsToPoL, JUNE 18.--
There is an entire absence Of additional
news from the Crimea. The repulse of
the allies from before Malakoff and Re-
dan is confirmed, but (if we may credit
the governments published accounts)
the rumored loss was much magnifed.
Lord Panmure gives a nominal list,
showing SO officers killed and wounded,
144 private men killed, 1858 wounded,
and $50 missing, (taken prisoners. y
Pelissier names 81 French officers kill
ed, 90 officers wounded, II officers mis-
sing, (prisoners, 1,544 private men
killed and missing. and l,644 wounded.
Total English h0rs de combat, l,434;
French. 1887; both, 4,774. Generals
Megran and Brunett were severely
wounded.
Lord Raglan is reported dangerously
i'll, and is said to have solicited his re-
call. Sir George Brown is also sick,
and incapable Of supplying Raglan's
place.
The accounts yet to hand do not ma
terially vary the first announcement Of
the repulse of the allies, excepting as
regards the number of the slain. De-
tails are anxiously looked for, inasmuch
as sundry disagreeable rumors are in
circulation. In Paris it was repeated
that the failure was, in measure at
least, owing to errors committed bv the
British commanding officers. Their
errors are described as two fold-frst,
In not having had fascines provided for
filling up the trench within the Redan;
and next, in not having Immediately ap-
prised the French commander that they
found it necessary to retire. The Brit
ish, on their side, say that they took the
Redan, but could not hold it because
the French failed to silence the. guns of
the Malakoff.
There are other matters of interest
from the Crimea. The daily losses of
the allies are great. The London Times
speaks of the loss in the Mamelon alone
as two hundred a day. Cholera and
heat are largely fatal, the former being
quite violent in the Sandman army
LipraRdi's is so strongly entrench-
ed as to be invulnerable--an admission
made by the English. Sevastopol is
well pFovisioned, and, even if it were
not, has nothing to fear from the recent
performances of the allies in the sea of
Azof. Perekop, itself a small Sevasto-
pol, is to be further fortified and de-
Tended, though as yet no attack men,
aces it. From Russian sources we
learn that no English and French are to
be permitted to leave the Crimea; that
is, that the Russians expect to be able
to control, before long, the proceedings
of the invaders.
We are told the story Of cannoneer
"before" Sevastopol, who said, after
the Mamelon triumph: "Well, if this is
the way when Father Pelissier coughs,
what will it be when he spits?" We
have learned by telegraph, Pelissier
spit at Malakoff and Malakoff spit back.
That is all. The cannoneer is undoubt-
edly satisfied.
The London Times of June 29th,
says:
"Fhe news of the war is more than
usually grave. We have indeed still to
learn the particulars of our i'll success
on the 18th, and are still without It'd
ings of any further attempt; but while
we wait time wears on, and nature takes
its course. Lord Raglan's iron consti-
tuition has at length given way to a
cause that has laid many younger and
stronger man low, and his lordship has,
We are told, requested to be relieved of
his command, in order to return home.
Gen. Simpson, we believe, will succeed
him in the command-in-chief General
Estcourt, Deputy Adjutant General, has
fallen victim to tie cholera, and one
of the first duties of the new Comman-
der-in-chief will be to appoint a success
sor to his post, capable of its duties.-I
Another loss exeites the deepest regret
Lyons, whose talents and en-
terprize marked him for the command
of the expedition to the sea. of Azof, in
spite of his comparative youth, and who
amply justified the wisdom ofthe choice,
has died of his wound. 1t appears
that, in his anxiety to make a thorough .
reconnaissance Of Kaffa, he approached .
so near to that port that, standing on
the paddle-box of his ship, he received a
rifle ball in his leg. He did not think
much of it at the time; but the extreme
heat, the excitement of the occasion,
and probably, also, a degree of vexa-
ton at being thus unnecessarily disa-
bled, checked the healing process and
deprived the service of the very prom
ising officer TO whom we owe our very
first naval success in this war. 1t is ev-
dent that the summer is beginning to
