THE ATTACK UPON THE REDAN-The London
correspondent ofthe New York Times has the fol-
lowing:
It is not printed, but it is whispered that the at
tack against the Redan failed by the unsteadness
Of the stormers. You will surely have been struck
with the disproportion in the numbers ofthe killed
and wounded, and you must probably have tried
MS everybody has done-to find out how it be pos
sible that to 10 officers and IA private soldiers
killed, there should be IA officers and ,O5S pri-
Yates wounded The riddle s-under the seal of
secrecy--expained thus The storming parties
rushed back at the first sweeping effect Of the
giape-vomiting Russian batteries, in spite of the
covering purity that came to their support, and ac-
tualy in advance Of them The fugitive many
escaped with 1882 wounded, while the advancing
few were killed Such is the story whispered but
rot printed What the English army in the first
moments of that repuse was most in dread of
was the probable success of the French against
The Maakof. A morning paper is candid enough
to confess, that I've have, at least the unsatsac-
tory consolation" that they, too, were beaten
back. The French, / dare say, reciprocate this
feeling of fellowship and cordial alliance while
Prince Gortschakoff WILL no doubt, be most happy
in procuring them also for the future, such mu-
tual consolation Such failures are, however, very
dangerous to the alliance, because they raise re-
ordinations, especially if not retrieved by imme-
date victories We already have some news to
that effect. The Crmean correspondent of the
Prcsse (Girardin's) admits-though with dissent
that the French camp is loud in accusing the Eng
lsh as the cause of the catastrophe while at Eng
fish headquarters Pelissier's manner of suddenly
changing the plan of action seems to have been
point of pretty freely expressed accusation.
ELopEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.-Under this head we
gave yesterday account of case of habeds cor
y,,,s before the Supreme Court. 1t seems that Mr..
DIT manufacturing jewoler of this city, and
one Of the most prominent members Of DR.. C.'s
church in Union square, removed with his wife
and children, some time since, to Orange, New
Jersey, where he became acquainted in the family
Of Mr.. Id, member of an extensive dry
goods firm in Murray street. One morning last
spting Mr. D---t and Miss Id, a good look
lug young lady in the commencement of her TWEEN
ties, were found to be among the missing 1t was
soon ascertained however, that they had eloped
together; had left for Europe, it was at first sup
posed, but subsequently, it was discovered that
they had gone to the. far West. The injured
1sther followed the parties to Chicago, where he
cliployed officers who tracked them to St. Pauls,
where they were arrested Miss Id was
brought back to her father, but on reaching De-
1roit with him. Mr.. D--t found means again TO
see her, and second elopement was the conse-
quences She was, however, soon recaptured and
brought to New York, and in want Of anoth n
place of confinement, she was placed in the Bloom
ingdale Asylum, a certificate of insanity being
easily obtained from two physicians. Tie present
