second Bombard ment Of Odessa.

letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Ga
zette says:
"The events which have lately taken place
at Odessa have attracted more attention than
usual to that port. 1t has now been trans
formed into fortified place. During the sum-
mer Of 1854 it had been in contemplation by
the allies to destroy Odessa measure which,
although severe, then appeared to be called
for by strategical reasons. Out of feelings of
humanity, however, Admirals Hamelin and
Dundas wished to spare the property Of so
many mercantile houses, which, during the
scarcity of le47 and 1853, had preserved the
half of Europe from famine. They conse-
quently confined their operations to the destruc-
ton of part of the military port, and the es.
Establishment of blockade. What has since
taken place at Odessa All the warehouses
have since been transformed into military de-
pots, and Odessa which was the centre of mar
thine commerce, has become the pivot of the
operations of Prince GOrtschakoff and Prince
Menschkoff. This is why hostile operations
ure now about to be undertaken against tat
port from strategical reasons, and if the Rus
slams do not evacuate it voluntarily, which is
scarcely probable, Admiral Lyons will imme-
: diately proceed to effect its destruction. The
allies also intend to lombard Thedosida-an
undertaking with which Admiral Bruat will
be charged General Luders, who is now at
Odessa, is to have the command of all the for
ees concentrated on that point"

and was drowning when his brother seized
him by the hair; but the current was strong
and the brothers strength being nearly ex-
hausted, he was about relinquishing his hold,
when deploringly, the drowning one raised his
head above water and said: Hang on, Sam,
hang on; III treat-I swear / willw His
words were stimulating, and the other at length
> saved him. -
