From the Spectator Of March Sth.

The battle of FL Teb, about which
all Great Britain vas anxious last
week, ended in a victO'y for civi liza
ton, General Graham marched
from Fort Bake. at eight o'clock on
Friday towards Tokar, and at about
half past eleven encountered the enc
my, supposed to be 10000 strong, who
had thrown up some light entrench-
ments. These were TUNED, and the
troops advanced tn storm, being met
by the Arabs with amazing courage.
The Arabs charged repeatedly, m
der cover of a fire from their works,
which killed md wounded a few OF
the British but they never could get
through the formation, the bullets
moving them down as they adranc-
ed. The British at last reached the
works, and carried them with the
bayonet, the Arabs resisting iercely,
and leaving 900 men dead on the
ground. A brick building used as a
mill was next carried and then the
cavalry swept down ON the enemy
who met the charge without finch
ing, and struck at the 10; ses us they
passed through them, At length,
after three hours fighting. the Sou
danese, who had, as was afterwards
ascertained, lost 1900 men, certain
" a fifth of their whole number, and
probably fourth, fled, most of them
going to Dubba, their storehouSe,
which was occupied on the following
day. The British loss was on'y 81
killed and I42 wounded but the ac-
ton was, nevertheless. severe. All
witnesses, including the General in
command, testify to the splendid
valour of the Arabs, who met de'th
with a kind Of pleasure; and to the
st6adiness of the British soldiers,

Shocking Tragedy at a Content.

A terrible tragedy is reported to have
occurred at the Convent OF the Serviane,
near MarSeilleS. One of the gardeners of
the establishment, named +, have, had BEEN
dismissed about ten days ago on account
Of his l~azineSS, and he appears to have

chest. AS for Sister eonie de SOrval,
she was bleeding prOfuSedly from twO
wounds, of which one i'll the chest was

as he was trying to make good his
escape. Chave who had reloaded his
revolver, kept them, however, at a re-

the spot where the assassin stood
with his pistol levelled at their heads.
They then told him to lower his wea..
