EsCALADE OF THE WALLS OF CANToN.-Twenty
minutes before the appointed time the French ad-
vanced, and of course the English could not be kept
back. They had crossed the ditch, and were
clustered under the wall before the scaling lad
ders could be brought up. A daredevil young
Frenchman had taken off his shoes and gaiters
and was trying to work himself up the southern
angle of the baston, aided by Major Luard who was
propping him up with the muzze of the French
mans own firelock when ladder was placed and
Luard, leaping upon it, stood first upon the wall He
was followed by Frenchman, the band master of
the 59th, and Col Hope Graham. At the samein
of time Stuart, of the Engineers, was balancing in
air upon breaking ladder at the north side of the
bastion; but, although he sprang to another and
got upon that believe that two or three French
men springing to the wall from the breaking lad
der got up before him. Let mention, also, Cor
poral Perkins and Daniel Donovan, both volunteer
French assailants and were among the first over
the wall Meanwhile, the Chinese had been tum-
bling down all sorts of missiles, but when the allies
were once upon the wall the great body of them
tired. They poured down into the city and fired
from the streets; they lodged behind the build
ings on the ramparts and aimed their cuInbrous
matchlocks from behind them. A few single en-
counters took place, and Luards revolver disposed
of one lingerer, but the general move was to fire
right and left and hurry to the right, to sweep the
wall upwards towards the hill Heter-skelter,
away they went driving the Tartars down into the
town and before them along the WALL until, some
hundred yards in front, they came upon new body
of the besiegers, who were Just accomplishing
another escalade.-Times.
