OCTOBER 4. Forty pieces of heavy artillery were sent up to-day to the park, and 12 tons of gunpowder were safely deposited In the mill on the road towards Sebastopol. As the French had eery little ground left on which to operste on our left, the 3d Division moved to-day from its position, crossed the ravine on its right, and took up ground near the 4th Division. The French immediately afterwards sent no a portion of their troops to occupy Ore meant ground. The Ilesaims hove been Indefatigable all day In throwing up batteries, and have shelled our advanced posts incessantly. From the range of the guns It is supposed they ham actually got the heavy pieces which were on board the Tiger. One shell, which fell into the ramp of the 4th Division, was marked with the English broad arrow, end had the Englieh brass-covered fusee ; It did not burst. Another, fired with more fatal effect, fell right into • tent in which were I men of the 93,1 Regiment, espioled, and kille I • serjeant and two men. This Tr. et • tlistanm of upward. of 4,000 yards. It Is hoped that the Russians will soon spoil their guns by firing with such heavy charges, and that they will make them droop alike !situate or otherwise fail by this incessant end trying practice. An yet w• Moe not a gun opts answer them, and It is understood that Lord Raglan is °waled to any desultory fire, and wishes to have •II our heti erin opened at onee The French w ill hove 60 heavy guns—our eiege grins will nrunlor 50, mid the shipa will furnish 4io more. Including mortars, 'Atwitter grins, and howitzers, we shall have about 200 pieces of •rtillery itt position and available for the fire on the forts The round fort on the right has been nearly hid from view by deep earthworks, all made last night and to-day by the Russians. It is stated that in the course of the ' morning • corps of 14,000 men, under General Laden, managed to get into Sebastopol. This seems a strange proceeding, coupled with the departure of • large body of men the day before, unleu It be, as is suggested, that the letter were Invalids, old men, or useless ei•illans, A Polish officer &word from the enemy to-dav, and cants over to our ramp. He gave much useful information as to the number and diaposition of the troop., sod the nature of the fort Meat ions on the French aide of the town, but he did not seem to know ranch respecting that portion of 11 10 which we are now opposed. Ile declares that the enemy believe we must take the pl.ce, but that they are determined to sell eeeee stone of it dearly, and that the Haasians will light to the last. As lath.

He farther etatee that one of the Admirals had committed suicide i and the reason assigned for the sat is, that he was overruled In ids opposition to the sinking attire men-of-war In the harbour. A spy was captured by Sir John Burge /nes orders lest night, It was a clever no'lon of the Enlistees to send out a woman of deg uestion‘e character Into oil, quarters, beta, it was elem. she from Sebastopol, the trick was • stale one to an ... campaigner, and the woman was not permitted to return. We hear that the Sehmetepoli•ns are very gay, that parties and balls tale place almost every night in the forte •nd no board the ships. Furnaces for heating shot were sent up from the beach to the pude to-day, and fir John Burgoyne ordered Captain D. Aguilar to pitiee his guns on the open ground, and fire with red-hot shot on the two-decker anchored seems the harbour. The distance exceeds 3,000 yards, sod Is either too far for red-hot shot to travel with effect. However, the furnaces am not yet available. Dr. Thomson, of the 44th, who was left with the Russian wounded at the Alma, has returned. Many of them died, others were sent to Odessa and delivered to tire Rumbles. It is said Dr. Thomson had • narrow Neat. before he got off from • party ot Cossacks Ile arid his Dermot buried 60 men in ose day. The93d Highlander. are left behind for the service of the town, and for guards on quarters, commissariat stores, the beach duty, kc. The rest of the division has &destined two miles to the Syne. We ham got 92 hayricks near Balaklava, which ham to he divided with the French, though they have not near the number of horses we have to feed. The Russians are moat active to-day, and at intervals fire 561 b. and 841 b. shot at our lines.  lion able elllllo ' old r  The City s.
