LECTURE ON THE SIEGE OF SEvAsTOPOL,~
A very fair sized audience was gathered at the
Chestnut st. Church last evening to listen to
Mr.. Paine's history of the siege of Sevastopsl.
As the Crimean war has almost passed out of
remembrance of the many, on account of the
lapse of time and the greater interest that
attached to our own internecine struggle, it
was pleasant to have the memory refreshed by
the graphic description of Mr.. Paine, who was
q participant in that memorable struggle Of
the allied powers for the supremacy of the
Black Sea. With graceful speech the orator
delineated the blunder committed by the COM
manders of the allied armies in not Selling
the Isthmus of Perokop, by which communi-
cation would have been cut of between Sevas-
topol and st. Petersburg and the subsequent
long siege and loss of life averted; the battles
of the Alma, Inkermann and Balaklava, end
ing with the long siege of Sevastopol, which
lasted eleven months; the sufferings endured
by the troops; the ministrations of Florence
Nightingale and her corps of nurses; the IA
nous charge of the Light Brigade; the storm
ing and capture of the Malakoff; and the final
desertion of the city by the Russians. He con-
cluded with glowing aluson to our country,
which was very fine.
The audience appeared highly pleased and
interested, and the lecture may be considered
great success.
