THE FLF.E'T IN THE BLACK SEA. The" Banshee," which •d in Cos 22222 ttinaple Oil shy let h, brings the following. which may give • clue to the reported bombardment of Wear : Her Si needy'. ship " Furious" had been detached from the fleet at Beink, and sent 10 Odessa in take off the Britioth consul and 73 residents 01 Odessa, who are Beulah subjects. The Ford•us arrived off Odessa at .0 o'clock on the looming (if the fith instant., and stopped et the &stance of a mile and a ball Hein the port. A boat was manned and placed under the command of Mr Alex:older, the third Latiteliant of the Emitted, with whom watt 3lr Bosons, naval cadet. The boat hoisted e Bag of truce, and entering the port in despite the Islands made to warn her off. Mr Alexander gallantly determined to execute lire ceinntissien, rail her on shore, where lie was received by a crowd of Russian soldiers end other fonetiondies, who elTectually resisted his landing. A dispute ensued, and the boat lay on the beach • considerable time. DUralg Ilik &ley several captain's If British merchantmen, now prinotters ht Odessa, meet : them way through the crowd, with the intention of spookliigto the ottioer in command of the boat. They were rudely pulled back by the soldiery, who conducted them into the town. Finding at length that all his endeavours to obt•in an interview with the ofiicer in command of the place were unevailtng, Sir Alexander gave orders to pull b.lck to the ship. But he had scarcely quitted the poll, when, it appears, the commanthott of Odessa, havtlig been apprised of the arr.el of a British boat's crew with all tg of truce, orders were sent down to the harbour, and the strand batteries opened upon the Lout and the stop, without doing .harm to eithei, though they threw shot end shells. A higate, too, came out at the harbour, and chased the boat, though without success, for Mr Alexander and his clew got safely on board the Furious, winch thee tried to get near the Russian vessel. The Russian, who was unable to return to Odessa, to asay, nod the Furious ran alter her until the Russiao took retuge ill Cherson, when she went into shallow weter, where the Furious could not follow her. Th it vessel roturned to Beljik, end reported the affair to Admiral Dundee. She joined the fleet on Sunday montieg, arid in the afternorn came the Banshee, with the ottictal news of the thelaration ol war. The Beet received this inteldgence wolf the greatest enthu• team. The sailors manned the yards, aud give three hearty cheers for Old England and the Queen. The Banshee, whielt returned to the Bosphorus, !eh the Beet ' at Beljdt on Monday. The Beet itselt was under orders to sail for Odessa mrly io the morning of Tuesday, the nth inst., and by dos time the Haitians al Odessa oil' have been called to account for their gross •iolmion ot the rules of war among civilized nations.

The Furious is a steam.trtgate, carrying 16 guns; the Fury is a email paddle-wheel steamer ceerying 6 guns] THE WAIL The speeiel correspondent of de /item at Gallipoli still continues to c 'lmplant of the absence of eccomodation for the British troops, and contrasts their condition with that of the French troops.

Ofi the arrival of the 93rd at 6ellipoli, while they were yet on the noble steamee which brought them, a smaller •essel came alongside. On the deck wan a pest., or other 'Pork's, dignitary, with the ladtes ot his household. The Highlanders, eager to salute their Eastei n allies, mounted the paddle-hoe of their steamer, and iroin thew exalted position cheered the ladies below them in the smaller craft. The horror of the Pasha may be imagined, and the aaguries he drew as to the habits and manners of the Franks.
