From Europe.

FROM Europe,
The Steamer Canada arrived at Halifax OF
the morning of the 18th inst. bringing Liver
pool dates to the 7Lh. The news from The
seat OF war are not very important. EorC
Raglan was buried on the Sd inst. with erea
pomp. It's reported that Pelssier is about t
be superseded main facts Of the unsuc
CesSful attack upon Sevastopol, on the 18th o
June, have been given; yet the Canada's news
afford details which may be of interest to oul
readers. The copy from the N. Y. Tribune, -
1T is stated that General Margan's French
Division, on the way TO attack the fort on the
extreme right, by the Careering Harbor, com
menced the attack prematurely, and before the
other divisions had taken their ground. Mar
gan fell mortally wounded and his division be-
ing thrown into disorder, the Russians turned
their concentrated fire upon The next division
as it came up under General Brunei, and shat
tered it badly. Brunei also fell. Orders were
then given to withdraw the troops into the
trenches, although Gen. Autevane had mean
time reached the Malakoff Tower. The re-
reat was affected with good order but with
great loss.
When Lord Raglan saw the defeat Of the
first French Division, he hastily ordered an
attack on the Redan, 10 effect diversion in
favor Of the French, although it was previous.
y intended that the British should no. attack
until the French should have captured the NAL
akof, inasmuch as the Malakoll's guns quite
commanded the Redan. s, far as civilians
at a distance could Judge, Lord Raglan's order
TO attack was a great error, for the British
stOrming party, not being sufficiently strong to
cover the works, were repulsed with much
slaughter. A curious incident is, that Gen,
Eyre, with 1000 British troops, penetrated
into the suburbs of Sevastopol itself, and held
possession of the houses in one street for sew
enteen hours, but being totally unsupported he
retired at tnightfall. The inference is, that had
be assault been general, or system ltcally
planned, the city would have fallen, or at least
its first line of defense might bave been carri.
