LATER news FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Africa arrived at Halifax on Tues
day, with dates from Liverpool to the LIST instant
Gen. Simpson says that the Redan and the
Malakoff towers were bombarded the It'll
with as much effect as was anticipated.
General Pelsser telcgraphs on the Oath that
on the previous night the French carried Rus
sian ambrscade on the glacis of the Malakoff,
and subsequently, 500 Russian troops tried to re-
take it, but were repulsed with loss Of 300 men.
Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs on the 9th
ultimo that affairs at Sebastopol were unchanged,
but that the fire of the besiegers was occasionally
very strong.
The Allies were preparing to cross the Tcher-
maya, and active operations would be delayed
till this was effected.
BY this arrival we have received the details of
the great battle of the Tchernaya.
Generals Simpson and Pelisser report that this
attack Of the Russians was deliberate attempt
to raise the siege. If successful in holding the
heights the Russians intended another attack al
four points. This information has been obtained
from documents found on the person Of Rus
sian general who was killed in the action.
General Simpson estimates the Russian forces
in the attack follows: $4,000 infantry, 6,000
cavalry, and l6O guns. The French had only
$4,000 men and four batteries engaged, and the
Sardnans 500 men and l24 guns. The Eng
fish had but one battery. The Russians ad-
vanced three times with determined bravery, and
thrice carried the bridge, but were often re-
pulsed. Their retreat was covered by their bat
teries. The French had II officers and l72 men
killed, and SO officers and ll6O men wounded
and l52 missing. The Sandman loss was $50
killed and wounded. The Russian loss was 3 900
killed, including three generals, 5000 wounded
and ], 500 missing and taken prisoners.

IL Sick Headache Romedy.-A remedy Tor
the sick headache, which has been recent offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention, mol only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
lis efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
flced with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..

that his remedy for very common disease, which
