Year by year, our Provinee is traversed by wandering men, who, with flourish of trumpets and waving of banners, invite young and \u2018old 10 scenes of demoralizing pleasure, their sole object being to enrich themselves at oar expense.Never, Jervers.was this nuisance greater than during the present season.patronage of the past Sas encouraged a larger number than usual of the adventurers to pay their respects to the Canadian public.Yet there can be little doutt that the more intelligent and respectable of our citizens and yeo- menry regard these extibitions in their trae character, viz: as prolific sources of evil.Indeed, it must be obvious to all thinking men, that they make a serious drain upon the resources of the country without yielding avy substantia! return; that they foster habits of idleness asd pleasure seeking ; that they endanger the public peace and health and above all, tend to demoraiize and deprave the minds of those who frequent them.ow, if these things are true, there resta à fearful weight of re- possibility upon all \u2018who encourage or even connive at these per- orm! Dispensations of age, to; Remember the Sabbath day to keep it boly ;** and we suggest 3s & proper subject of meditation tbe next time they hear this command, to reflect that they are giving their sanction to a system which requires the violation of the laws of God by the persons in their employment, and provides a temptation to a latge nnmber of travellers to commit Lhe same sin.In common with others we rejoiced at the evidence of progress which was furnished by the opening of this new line of communica tion with the \u201cfar west ;\u201d but our pleasure will be greatly lessened if this route is to become a great highway for transgressing the laws of God and our country, and to bring down upon our land (he curses with which the righteous Lord punishes the commission of this sin.We shall not fail to use our utmost influence to bring the matter to a test, in order that it may be determined whether any portion ef the community have the privilege of even a legal impusity, for setting at defiance what we regard as the laws and what is certainly the moral sense of no inconsiderable number of the people of Canada.And we may also suggest that it is the duty of every well-wisher of his country to withhold as far as possible ail countenance and support to à company that is guiliy of sanctioning such a gross violation of the Sabbath as that to which we refer.COMMON SCHOOLS.(From the Ottawa Advocale.) la the Journal of Education for June, the Chief Superintendent states that he will now be able to apportion one hundred per cent.upon any sam or sums seat him by any School Section or Munici~ ality for the purchase of Maps and Apparatus, as well as Books, for ublic Libraries.Under this provision there can be little excuse for schools remaining without the most efficient aids for promoting instruction.The value of the diferent kinds of Apparatus cannot be too highly estimated.Persons understand the natare of many things wuch more readily by personal inspection than by verbal or written explanation.More kuowledge can be imparted in one hour with the assistance of maps, charts, models aud objects of natural history than in a month without those aids.Schools thus supplied are also fuil of interest to the young, while the old system is sorely tedious.The Chief Superintendent truly says: \u2014s Though there is no roye] road to knowledge, there is a natural road to it; and the more the nature of things is exhibited in the course of teaching, the more rapid and thorough will be the progress of the pupil.\u201d Ia another Circular he has the following remarks upon the Separate School Act, addressed to Roman Catholic School Trustees in Upper anada :\u2014 * « You will berewith receive a copy of ¢ An Act to amend the Laws relating to Romao Catholic Separate Schools in Upper Canada.\u2019 For the provisions of this Act, Ë am not entitied to either praise os bleme, as Î never saw it until it appeared in print, after its introduction into the Legisiatare.I bave ever believed and maintained that the pro visions of the law as freviously existing in respect to separate schools, were conceived in a kindly feeling, and were equitable and liberal.[am 30 persaaded still.But these provicions of the law having been complained of by Bishops of the Roman Catholic Charch, the new separate school act is the result\u2014an Act, which, while it maintains our public school system inviolate, and even places it upon a Grmer and droader foundation than that upon which it rested before, yet confers upon members of the Roman Catholic persuasion, powers end distinctions which are not possessed by any class of Protestants in Upper Canada, and which their own representatives would never consent lo confer upon them.While in our public schools, the religious rights and faith of pupils of ali persuasions are equally protected, and while I am persuaded of] tne superior advantages of those schools in respect lo both economy and ail ¢ ences.A very large share of this responsibility lies atthe door of addition to the obligations of official duty, do all in my power to ows public journalists, by far the gresier proportion of whom admit the glariog and often indecent advertisements of the Circus in their -colamus, and witha) blow the editorial trumpet in their praise.We bave 100 bigh an opinion of the iatelligence, not to say good morals, of the members of the press, generally, to believe that they are at heart the apologists and advocates of the Circus, and we greatly re- that they do not speak out their bones sentiments, and denounce it.However prevalent throughout our country may be that vitiated teste which leads people to hanker after amusements of this clan, public journalists should remember that it is their daty, not to pander te à wrong sentiment, but to create a rightone.In this, and some lessen the disadvantages of those who prefer separate schools, and secure to them every right and advantage which the separate school Act confers.\u201d RESTORATION OF POLAND.(From the Montreal Gazette.) We find in a New York papet extracts from a pamphlet, recently published in France, entitled, Nt Paiz, ni Securite pour l\u2019Europe avec la Russia telle qu\u2019 elle est\u2014(No Peace nor Security for Europe, with Russia such as she is) which has altracted much attention.The subject of the Restoration of Poland, ever of interest, has became more other respects, the mass of our newspapers do not echo the voice of than vemally so recently, from the supposed desire of the French (he better part of the community, but that of the worse, and their influence is therefore mighty for evil, where it might be still mightier I for A ES unicipal Councils also, are greatly to blame in this matter.Why de tbey got abate these iUnersting nuisances, by excluding them from the precincts of our townships, towns and cities?What com- @onsation is the paltry license paid by the exhibitors, for the material aad social barm they do?He mustbe a wretched political economist whe does not see ata glance, that, quite apart from sll moral considerations, the Circus costs our country a vast sum without rendering it any equivalent.These peregrinators do not live among us,\u2014 they bear none of our burdens,\u2014they are not concerned in any of our ine tarests,\u2014 they care not for the good of the country, \u2014they are consam-| bet ships, ber naval arsenals, may be destroyed ; but Emperor to bring it about.The Polish addresses, with tbe answers, ublished in the Paris Moniteur à short time ago, showed that his, mperial Majesty had sympathy with the cause of Poland ; and the hlication of this pamphlet, under the strict censorship of the French ress, especially in respect to political articles, may be taken as Snother proof of the ssme.The following are extracts from the pamphlet :\u2014 Becked by the rigors of ber climate, and attacked at home, as in 1812, she (Russia) will be able to resist the best troops of United Europe, who will perish, devoured by cold and hunger.Attacked in her possessions in the Black Ses, ie the Crimes, Bessarabia, in the Caucasus, she may soffer considerable material losses; ber seaports, is will merely ess of our good things, and recoivers of our money, without being|be a tamporary destruction, whic may easily be repaired with time, peoduoers.la short, they are à tax and a burden upon our energies and money, ané patieoce\u2014merely forced adjournment add our industry.A PROSPECTIVE SYSTEM OF SABBATH BREAKING.(From the Christian Guardian.)

sbe becomes again an Asiatic power, and will thus by restored to her true mission in the world.\u2018The restoration of Poland is a necessity of our epoch.It is a terrible weapon against Russia in the hauds of the Western powers, This weapon ought to be employed, indeed thn necessity for so doing is evident, is logical, strikes every eye.The advantages of such a Et wark against Russia are so obvious that, if no Poland existed, it would be right to invent une.The view that Austria and Prussia are likely to take of this question, h tes as follows :\u2014 [tis generally thought tbat Austria will ever be opposed to the existence of Poland.This is a mistake, like so many (bat prevails on the subject of that monarchy.Formerly, during its secalar existance, Poland and Austria were but rarely engaged in contentions ; the mostly lived on terms of good neighborhood, and rendered each other mutual good service.* * ° * ° ° Austria lent but an unwilling band to tbe partition of Potand, When it was resolved upon by the courts of Berlin and St.Petersburg, the Empress Maria Theresa, urged to take part in it, opposed it for a long time, and did not yield until she was convinced (hat she could not prevent it, except by declaring war against Russia and Prassis.When signing this act (of partition), the only dark blot on her reign and on her life, she protested loudly against the violence wbich was, in a manner, being exercised against her will and ber conscience.At a later period, Maria Theresa, as well as all her successors on: the throne, repeatedly declared that Austria would be willing (0 restore ler share to Poland, if the two other powers would do the ike.The position of Galicia is but à poor compensation (o Austria for the importance which Russia bas acquired by the fatal partition, and fer such dangerous neighborhood.As long as the triple alliance was in force, there could be no question of the re-establishment of Polacd nevertheless, in 1830, when Russian Poland was in insurrection, the cabinet and court of Vienna made no secret of their sympathy in fave of the insurgents.At the present moment the triple alliance exists only in name.The oriental crisis has unmasked (he ambitious views of the Emperer Nicholas, and revealed to Austria the dangers of her position.© © It requires no great political perspicacity to foresee a violent ap This year, between these two powers.[no order to meet the threatening would it not be prudent for Austria lo facilitate, by every meady in Ber power, the reconstruction of a Polish state, which would serve her as a fortified barrier against invasion from the North ?Av long as alicia remains under Anjtrian dominion, she will be hostile.to, that power~\u2014she will be a check upon and a cause of weakness to Austria; in the first war that breaks out this province will fall into the hands of ia, who bas prepared for the contingency by securing frienasand partisans for herself there.Galicia abounds in such since 1846, the period of thess frightful massacres which made Europe shudder.Austria cannot be seriously opposed tu the voluntary cession of the province for the purpose of re-constructing a Polish state that would be her natural ally and could in no way cause her umbrage, Such is at the present moment the position of Austria that even supposing ber to entertain the most friend y feelings towards the Westera Pawers, it would be impossible for her to enter into an allinuce with them unless the re-establishment of Poland be decided on.In our opinien, the cabinet of Vienna would be more interested in (his eveat th any other power in Europe ; if it hesitates to propose this measure, it is rather from a fear of causing agitation in other portions of the-e such as Italy and Hungary which also claim to be independent, than from any real repugnance Co the restoration of Poland.Without Po~ lrnd, Austria is at the merey of Passis, and unable to enter into com.bar with her with any/chance of success;

; \u2014 We have received from the Institut Canadien a copy of Monsieur Barthe\u2019s Canada, is px ria Fy A .\u2014 The appointment of the Rev.Dr.Lillie to a professorship in Maclay College, Toronto, has been revoked.We believe that owing to the amount required to commence the College not having been raised, the institntion will not go into operation.\u2014 Last weck several severe storms passed over sections of the Province.Prince Edward district was visited with a hailstorm which did much damage lo property sad the crop.at thunder squall did some damage to the crops in the vicinity of Quebec.over this city also, which had spent itself some wiles back, blowing down the greater portion of a large bridge, which crosses the Riviere des Prairies, and a number of houses at St.Martio and St.Laurent.\u2014 A fand is now formed for aiding worn out common school teachers of Upper Canada.Every teacher contributing one pound annually is entitled to draw an annuity from the fund, provided, he has been a common scheol teacher, and beccmes disabled whilst such.Should any teacher subscribing to this fund, die without deriving any benefit from the fund, his subscription with interest will be paid to his widow and children.# \u2014 At the last Division Court at Barrie, the holder of half a $10 note sued the bank agent for payment.The J gave it as his opinion, that as one half of the note was missing the plaintiff could not recover.The case was adjourned.\u2014 The Presbytery of Bathurst in connection with the Church of Scotland, met at Buckingham on the Tth ult., to induct the Rev.Peter Lindsay to the charge of the united congregations of Buckingham and Cumberland.\u2014The Rev.R.F.Burns, of the Free Church, has removed from Kingston 10 St.Catharines.\u2014.On the 18th just., the Governor General laid ihe foundation stone of the monument to the memory of the soldiers who fell ou the plaine warned, and finally, that he was shot by the police and not by the military.The commitice close by staling that \u201con a careful and laborious investigation of the whole case they are satisfied that the Mayor and other executive officers of the city did no more in the emergency than their duty or the public service required ; and that they ould have proved unfaithful to their trust had they done less.\u201d THE TORONTO RIOT.Toronto has been the scene of another alarming not, caused by a quarrel between some rowdies of that city with some circus men, in a house of ill-fame.The circus ruffians, being probably better trained, defeated the city ruffians in the first instance, but the latter collected a mob next night, burnt the circus company\u2019s tent and properties, threw one or more waggons into the bay, and maltreated some of the men badly; and all this in the presence of the Mayor and police, who seemed to have no influence or ability to prevent it The strangest part of the story, however, is that the police, though guarding the circus tents, and watching the mob for hours, cannot identify any ringleaders ; but, it ia a common failing of police in this country to be short-sighted! Seriously, however, if Toronto would escape the unenviable notoriety of rowdyism, which she is fast acquiring, she must be firm in maintaining the laws, even at the expence of imitating the conduct of New York in the Astor Place riots, or that of Portland in the late rum riots.The Jury 25, 1866 sell food\u2014 such as bakers, victualling, and eating houses &c., together with tabaceonists, newsvenders, apethecaries, und barbers.These jt seems have been deemed necessary to Souday life and comfort in the great metropolis, whilst ail ather kinds of shops are required to be shut.Now it ust be obvious that the observance of the Sabbath can only be partial where so many places of business are kept open, and that persons engaged in lending these shops, comprising a considerable part cf the population, must be deprived of their Sabbaths, Many, perhaps oll, of the traders and their assistante, thes cons demned by custom to uoremitting toil during the whole seven days of tho week, would gladly shut their shops on Sunday if their neighbors woald do the same ; but, unpelled by business rivaley and competition, they think they cannot do it othetwiss ; and in these cireum- stances a majority, we believe, bave asked for legislative interference and protection to slut all shops alike on the Lord's day.The bili, lo secure this must desirable and, in every way, proper object, was intioduced by a member of the aristocracy, (Lord Robert Grosvenor,) and carried in the Honse of Lords.But the event will show that it would have come better from one of the people, for the excitable masses thinking their Sunday dinners and Sunday beer were ar stake, and countenanced and abetted by those distinguished philanthropists the Times and Punch, turned out, in what our neighbors of the States would call a mass indignation meeting, in Ilyde Park for two successive Sundays ; the object being, by hootiag and insulting the nobility, to make them absain from their customary Sunday drive in that aristocratic region.In this object they succeeded, and \u2014the bill was withdrawu.This appears a very simple announcewent, but to our minde it is fraught with tremerdous importance.The masses bave nuw fouad the vulnerable part of the British Constitution, and the next time they wish to defeat or 10 carry any measure, they may think that they bave only to resort to Hyde Park again on a Sabbath afternoon.We fear this mode of influencing Legislation bas ouly commenced.The times are portentous.THE CROPS.The Newspapers from all parts of the continent contain cheering accounts of the crops.The yield of grains is expected to be unprecedently large ; the hay crop is also, with the exception of a few localities, very promising.We have noticed but few reports of the appearance of the potatoe crop.About Montreal the crop bids fairto be a large une.At the present time it looks very fine.\u2014A London paper says: ~¢ Crops throughout Elgin, Middlesex, Huroa and Oxford, now give promise of surpassing all expectations entertained with regard to them in the early part of the season.Fall wheat is heavier, and generally speaking, a finer crop, as yet, than the Province hes prodused for many vears.Spring wheat and oats have so far improved as to equal, if not exceed, the average appear ance of those crops at this time of the year, notwithstanding the late frosts.\u201d A Port Dover paper states, \u2014\u201c The crops in this section of the country, are looking well, and the hay harvest may now be said to have fairly commenced, with a good prospect of plenty on the timber land, but the crops on the plains will be light.Although much better than they were last year.The fall wheat and spriag violent death of one or more lawless men, though an evil, is not to be compared for an instant with the mastery of the mob.When ruffians and rowdies find they have the upper hand, farewell to peace or security of person or property.Assaults, scull cracking, stabbing, and rioting have been steadily increasing in Toronto, as a natural consequence of the disastrous policy adopted by its magistrates many years ago, of licensing an unlimited number of taverns, in order to carry electious through the influence of these dens of iniquity and their customers.Against this policy the Christian Guardian and Examiner protested frequently, and energetically about 15 or 20 years ago, but ali in vain.It was persisted in by corrupt and unscrupulous political leaders, for the purpose of securing the services ofas dangerous and lawlessa set of men as is to be found in Canada ; and when the tone of lawlessness has been once given to a city, and where the fountains of pollution \u2014the taverns\u2014are perpetuated, the ranks of the rioters are continually recruited in proportion to the increase of the population, But if the rum holes are one source of danger the circus is certainly another.It was only, we think, last year that a circus rider murdered aman at Kingston.A year or so before that the whole of Barnum\u2019s men had 10 be arrested at Windsor for maltreating the people along the road.And now this Toronto affair furnishes direct evidence of the polluting and dangeroue character of circus companies.Surely these accumulated proofs warrant the authorities of every city and village in the country to adopt regulations, by which the lewd and profane exhibitions of circuses, with all their demoralizing eccom- paniments and tendencies may be kept away from the people.Since writing the above we have received the following graphic account of the Toronto riot, from an eye witness.: \u2014 ¢ Truly at one time our fears wero justifiable, for first we observed the lawless rabble break up and set fire to the vehicle from whence the tickets were given out, when the desire of the rioters increas;

that proper eate was not taken to prevent the men losing their way in the labyrinth of works; that no steps were formed above the berm of the parapet so that the could step over in order ; that the attacking parties were too weak, and Wat the men were crowded into narrow works and trenches which sould not afford them cover, and were difficult of access and exit.It is moreover afirmed that no proper instructions were given to the artillery for their guidance in the event of success or defeat, and that it was only when the Russians had crowded over their parapeta and through their em- beasures, and had been shooting down our men for some time on their re- troat, that an artillery officer obtained permission from Lord Raglan to open fire upen their lines ; but the gravest charge of all is that tho success of the assault was compromised by the facility with which Lord Raglan yielded to Glen, Pelissiers request, and late on the evening of the 17th altered the arrangements for the following morning.On Gen.Pelissiers views is scarcely a difference of opinion.[f the Russians were indeed about to as- sanlt the Mamelon before dawn, he would have been prepared for them with overwhelming numbers, could have decimated them as they retreated with his artillery, and could have immediately attacked a position held by a beaten and dispirited ecoemy.If they were not pre] to attack the Mamelon, but were prepared to resist us, the origioal plan of bombarding theta for three hours before we attacked could not have failed to drive them from worka under cover, and to slay great numbers of them.The plan of attack originally proposed was that the Allis were to open » cannonade for three hours on the Malakoff and Redan on the 18th: that the French were to assault the Malakoff, and that when they had guined poasession of it we were to attack the Redan.As the latter work is commanded by the former it would not be possible to carry or hold it till the Malakoff was taken.5 These embrasures were only too well filled.The fire which we opened om Bunday morning preliminary to the assault was marked by great energy, weight and destructiveness.[un the firet relief the Quarry battery threw no Jess than 300 8 inch shell into the Redan, 400 yards distant, and the place must bave been nearly cleared.So nearare the works that fragments of our 13 inch shells dy back from the Redun into the Quarry Battery.Paroughout sunday our artillery fired 12,000 rounds of the heaviest ordnance into tos enemios\u2019 lines, and on the following day we fired 11,046 rounds of shot and shell.The Russian fire was weak and wild.The only damage they did thoroughout Sunday was the demolition of the wheel of a gun Gen.Pelissier, in requesting the English General to change the original plan of attack and to forestall the hour agreed upon, is not stated to havo assigned any specific reason for the alteration, but it is reported that he wished to anticipate the enemy, who were about, a8 ho was informed, to make an assault on the Mamelon, THe felt, too, that the masses of French whom be had prepared could not be concealed from the Russians for any Magth of time.; Russian column which is said to have issued from Malakoff just before our assault waa certainly so small that it was, according to some, merely intended as a feint to draw out the French and lead them to the assault, for which the enemy were unly too well prepared.; As the 34th Regiment advanced, the supports got mixed together with them, and some confusion arose.On crossing the trench our men, instead of coming upon open ground in à firm body was broken into twos and threes.The moment they came out from the trench the encwy began to direct on hair whole front a deliberate and well nimed metewille, which increased the want of order and unsteadiness caused by the mode of their ndvance.Poor Colonel Yea having in vain tried to cbviate theevil, exclamined, ** This will nover dul Where's the bugler to call them back 1\" Butalnal no bugler was to be found.The gallant old soldier, by voice, triad to form, but the thunder of the encmy's guns and the gloom of early dawn frustrated his efforts, and as be rshed along the doubl led mass of troops and endeavored to get them into order fur a rush at the batteries, which was better than sanding atill, or retreating in a panic, a charge of the deadly missile passed, approach of our men, but when the latter turned round they discovered they were quite unsupported ; and the iiuasians, seeing the poor fellows alone, came down and drove them out.An officer and half & dozen men of the same regiment got up close to a part of the Flagstaff battery, and were advancing into it when they, to, saw that they were by themselves, and they retreated.About 15 French soldiers on their left aided them, but they likewise had to retire.Another officer with only 12 men took one of the Russian Rifle Pits, bayoneted tiose found in it, and held possession of ii throughout the day.Meantime, while these portions of the 5th and 18th, the same regiments and of the 38th kept up a hot fire from the Cemetry on the Russians, all the time exposed to a tremendous shower of shot and shell.The loss of the brigade, under such circumstances, could not but be extremely severe.One part of it was exposed to a destructive fire in houses, the upper portions of which crumbled into pieccs, under fire, and it was only by keeping in the lower story, which was vaulted, that they were enabled to hold their own.The other parts, far advanced from our batteries, were under a constant mitraille aad bombardment from guns which our batteries had failed to touch.The detachments from the hard-working and little noticed Naval Bri- gwde, consisted of four parties of 60 men each, one for each column, but only two went out, the other two being kept in reserve; they were told off to carry scaling-ladders and wool-bags, and to place them for our storming parties.It is not to be wondered at if they suffered scverely.On that eventful dzy 14 men were killed and 47 men were wounded.Two men were killed and several others were wounded by the bursting of one of our 68-pounders in the left attack.Among the latter was Major Stuart Wort- ley, who was injured by the explosion.As soon as the two storming columns got out of the parallel the sailors suffered severely.When the men retrested, overwhelmed by the storm from the enemy's battery, several officers and men were left behind wounded, and endured fearful agoniea for hours, without a cup of water or a cheering voice to comfort them.Lieut.Ermiston lay for five hours under the abattis of the Redan, and was reported dead, but watched his opportunity and got away with only a contusion of the knee.Mr.Kennedy, senior mate of the London, and of, our Naval Brigade, was also left behind close to the abattis, and after several bours of painful concealment he rolled himself over and over like a ball down ti: declivity, and managed to get into the trench.Lieut.Kidd came in all safe, and wes receiving the congratulations of à brother officer, when he saw a wounded soldier lying out in tht open apace.Heat once exclaimed, ¢ We must save him I\" and leaped over the parapet in order tudoso.Ile had scarcely gone o yard when he wav hot through the breast and died in about an hour after.Only tbree officers came out of action untouched.Tun Anmstice\u2014Juxs 19.\u2014Tho natural consequence of such a contest is an armistice to bury the dead.It was uur sad duty to demand it, for our dead Iny outside our lines, and there were no Russian corpses in front of the Redan or Malakoff.After the contest of the 22nd of May, General Osten Sacken is said to have applied twice tu our Generals before an armistice was accorded to him, and indeed (en, Ielissier cxpreasly says that the truce was granted to the Russian General on his reiteruted request.It is po wonder then that the Russians were rather chary of granting us an armistice, when they had no occasion to go outside their lines fur their dead, or dying and wounded.The advanced trenches were filled with officers and soldiers eager to find the deud bodies of their pocr comrades, but they waited patiently and sadly for the moment wher.iendship's last melancholy vffice could be perte .[twas a very bot day, and of all the places in the world where heat displays its power, à trench before Sebasio- pol ts the most intolerable.Kvery moment anxious eyes were turned to the huge walla of earth in the hape of aceing the noswering flag, but our own was the only one in view, and the French were still tiring away on our teft nt the Russian works.It was evident that something was wrong, and it was whispered that the Russians hud refused our application.Bonis were at last se 1: to leave tho roads of Sebastopol, and to meet boats from the fleet, and it became known that the Russians had acceded to un armistice, and that it was *o take place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.To pass the weary time there was nothing to do but to watch the Russians repairing their batteries\u2014and to make out the budies scattered about in front of the Redan and Malakoff.It was agonizing to see the wounded men lying there under 8 broiling sun, parched with excruciating thirst, racked with fever, nod agonized with pain-\u2014to behold thetn waving their caps faintly or mak.Ing signals toward our lines, and not to be able to help them.They la: where they fell, or had soramhled into the holes format by shells, and there they had been for 30 luurs\u2014oh | how long and drauifal!

but the belief of many officers of great intelligence is, that the proper way to attack to see how matters were going on.The officer in command on learning Sebastopol is to put finger and thumb on its windpipe, no matter how far the state of the case ordered the men to keep up the hottest fire they could, [the place may be removed from the.great organ, and let it starve.Pere- kop inaccessible and poisonous, and the shores of the Siwash are certain death.We know nothing of the roed across the Siwash.When at Genitehi the flying squadron could barely approach the place.It will easily be seen by these few remarks, that the army is not in that position in which we could wish to see it.Our generals are becoming ill again.Gen.Pernefather wili have to lezve for England forthwith.Major-Genl.Codrington is already un his way from this to regain his shattered strength.We have loat the services of Brigadier Buller, and Sir George Brown has been ordered on board ship for the benefit of his health, Gen.Estcourt is also very unwell.At this moment, Colonel Shirley of the 88th virtually commands the Light Division, and the prospect of spending the next thres months on this arid plateau is indeed depressing.Water is scarce and FROM CORRESPONDENT OF \u2018\u2018 LONDON NEWS.\" Of our handful of men a large proportion consisted of raw recruits, recently arrived to fil! up the gaps in the regiments, which, with one or two exceptions, have borne the whole brunt of our trench fighting, and suffered accordingly.This was done through no want of old soldiers, of whom the third and fourth divisions could have furnished abundance ; men who have been kept comparatively idle, while their comrades of the Light and second divisions have been worked like galley slaves.Sir George Brown, I believe, is to be thanked for this selection ; anxious as be was to gain fresh laurels for bis owa command, though he well knew the material of which so large a proportion of its strength is composed.I have already mentioned that the 23rd Regiment had been selected to lead the attack, and that, through a similar motive of mistaken desire tobring glory on his own favorite corpe,General Airey was,at the eleventh hour, permitted to assign this place of aonor to the 34th, a regiment which, whether justly or not, enjoys only a moderate reputation amongst the others wow in camp.FusTmer Misrares \u2014Later still in the evening preceding the assapit, Sic George discovared the major ing, the 33rd was still laid up with a wound received in the attack on the Quarries and that the senior captain \u2014an officer, by the way, of some eighteen years\u2019 servico\u2014would have charge of the corps during the storming.* Impossible; this will never do,\u201d said the friend of apopleptic neck forniture ; \u2018 another regiment, witha field officer in command, must be substituted.\u201d A message t this effect was telegraphed to headquarters, but Lord Raglan, with a degree of common sensa which was quite unmilitary, overruled his second\u2019s and replied that an officer of Captain \u2018a length of ser ice, be his rank what it might, should be quite æs fit to lead his regiment into action as any field officer in the service ; and, accordingly, that no substitution should be made.I merely mention these trifies to show the state of uncertainty and confusion in which our preparations were till almost within sn hour before the assaulting force marched down towards the scene of its struggle and defeat.Rerusctiox ox Pevi-aixr.\u2014Then another deviation from the original plan of the attack was made also at the eleventh hour, by General Pelissier, to which both military sense and common sense agree in attributing no small share of both the French and our own failure.Though the bombardment had been kept up vigurously the whole of Sunday, night necessarily compelled à slackening of the allied fire, and during this respite there was reason to expect that the Russians would employ themselves in i good the injuries done to their batteries during the day.It was therefore arranged that at daybreak on Monday a terrific fire of shot and shell should be poured into the Redan and Malakoff to render as many of theip guna as possible incapable of mischief.An hour or so however before the combined forces marched from the camp, the French Commander-in-Obief rode aver our own bead-quarters, and declared he could not wait for thig preliminary assault of artillery, and be would have so many men in the trenches before the Malakoff that there would be no cover for them; consequently, they (and we] must attack at daybreak, at all hazards an wke the chance of finding the enemy's guns in the most favorable condition in which our bombardment and their owner\u2019 8 subsequent idleness might have left them.Of course Lord Raglan complied with General Pelissir's request, though forty-nine out of fifty of the subalterns in his camp would bate foretold the consequence to be expected : and accordingly, svun aftee the first streaks of sunlight broke over the horizon the doomed thousands rushed to defeat and death.So little is even known of the details of Preach operations here, thet 1 can give you few particulars of the attack on the Malakoff; but their plan of assault appears to have consisted in assauiting the work on both fianks and the front simultaneously, and with ove.wl.ining numbers\u2014twenty-five thousand are said to have been erg gud.In just retribution for the disregard of their general to the good A .pected from a short moming\u2019s bombardment, they found the redoubds swarming with defenders, and guns bristling from every embrasure.Qa them, #3 on our own men, showers of grape and canister were poured volley into their disordered ranks, that passed through then: like a sheet of wolten lend.Three times they gave way, and as often ruilied ;
