FURTHER AND IMPORTANT By THE
AMERIcA.-The steamship America an
chored in the Light House Channel last
night, and arrived up to the city at 8
O'Clock this morning. Her mails will
be dispatched in the afternoon train.
The papers contain nothing specially
important, additional to what has been
published in the Halifax dispatch. Ol
the attack on the 18th of June. the Lon
don Morning Herald says: aThe Brit
ish troops carried the outworks of the
Redan, but found that the enemy had
prepared deep trench, which it was
to pass without either scaling
ladders or planks. The gallant band
were exposed to most murderous fire,
and after sustaining, it is said, loss Of
from four to FIVE thousand men, and
having forty officers killed, retired. Our
casualties were much augmented by the
guns of the Malakof enflading the out
works of the Redan; added to which,
the men-of-war in the harbor were laid
broadside on, and, by their fire on the
retiring troops, caused fearful havoc,
there being no cover or shelter whatev-
er from the storm of projectiles."
The Times does not profess to give a
particular accountofthe affair. Itsays,
however, in a leading article, that the
losses of the Allied troops are believed
to be greater than in any former action
of the war.
Sir John Campbell, Col. Yea, of the
7th Regiment, Col. Shadforth, of the
57th, and many other officers Of distin-
guishad gallantry fell in our ranks;
while the French have lost two general
and a vast number of men in all
branches of the service.
The Daily News intimdtes that gov
ernment was in possession of fuller in
telligence, which it withheld from the
public.
REPORT OF THE RoEBUcK COMMITTEE.
In the House of Commons, on the
night of June 18th, Mr.. Roebuck bro't
up the report of the army-before-Sev
topol committee, which, after being
read, was laid on the table and ordered
to be printed. The document fills more
than eight columns of the London Times.
The committee sum up their report as
follows:
'eYour committee have now adverted
to the chief points contained in the re-
plies to above 81 900 questions, and in
these various subjects they
have divided them under distinct heads,
in order fairly to apportion the respon-
sibility.
"Your committee report that the suf-
ferings Of the army resulted mainly
from the circumstances under which the
expedition to the Crimea was undertak-
en- and executed. The administration
which ordered the expedition had no
adequate information as to the amount
Of the forces in the Crimea. Hear,
hear. They were not acquainted with
the strength Of the fortresses to be at
tackled, or with the resources of the
country to be invaded. They hoped
and expected the expedition to be i'm
successful, and, as they did
not foresee the probability of pro-
tracted struggle, they made no prOvi-
sion for a winter campaign. Hear,
hear.
'The patience and fortitude of this
army demand the admiration and graft
tude of the nation on whose behalf they
have fought, bled and suffered. Their
heroic valor, and equally heroic pa
tience under sufferings and privations,
have given them claims upon their
country which will doubtless be CRATE
fully acknowledged. (Cheers.)
"Your committee will now close their
report with hope that every British ar
my may in future display the valor
which this noble army has displayed,
and that none may hereafter be exposed
70 such sufferings as are recorded in
.hese pages" Loud cheers.)
The great debate on Administrative
Iieform was wound up by Lord Palmer
;ton's accepting the amendment of Sir
E. Bulwer Lytton, and thus carrying the
House with him in opposition to Mr..
Layard. Having thus obtained the aid
Of the Opposition to defeat Mr.. Layard
and his followers, Lord Palmerston,
with admirable dexterity, turned the
.ables upon his allies, and, by the aid of
hose they had just contrived. to over
throw, compelled Sir E. Bulwer Lytton
and his friends to give up his amend
nent at the very time when success
seemed completely within their grasp.
