correspondence are at hand, describing the
gallant capture of the Mamelon and she quar-
rIes. The main fats have been already sta
ted, with general correctness. The allies
have made an unsuccessful attempt TO storm
Sebastopol. The most sinister rumors pre-
vailed in regard to the transaction. Bv soma
accounts the English loss is set down At four

Several advices from Pelissier to the French
government are to the same effect
Private accounts published in the London
Standard, say that the loss of British officers
in killed and wounded, amount to no less
than seventy. Among the killed are Gen.
Sir j. Campbell, Colonel Yea and Colonel
Shadforth. The greatest portion of the loss
was experienced in a ravine where a power
iul and unexpected battery was opened upon
the troops. The allies lost by the Russians
spnnging a mine, and during the confusion
they recaptured the Mamelon Tower.

The recent attack on an English boats
crew at Hangs, under flag of truce causes
much excitement in England. The unps-
JUDGED suppOSition is that the Russians sup
posed the boat was taking soundings, as was
recently done at Kertsch. The Russian ac-
count in the Invalid Russ says six were killed
and the remainder are prisoners. In Austria
the Russian influence is very active even in
the smallest towns.
The JON nal of ST. Petersburg publishes
the semi-oficial discussions on Count VALE

The journal also semi-oficially says that
