Tho United States mail steamship Arago, David Lines ‘ommander, from Havre and Cower, arrived at two o'clock yeaterday afternoon. She sailed from Southamp ‘ton on the 4th instant. The Arago passed the Neodies, (Cowes,) at 1A. M., July 6, and arrived at Sandy Hook, at 12 M, on the 16th July—eleven days and eleven ‘hours. She experienced almost constant westerly winds, apd on July 11 a violent westerly gale. She brings 126 (pessepgers and 450 tons Fremch and Swiss goods. Among her passengers are General Lix and family; ‘Mr. 8.G, Goodrich, late American Consal at Paris; and Mr. A. W. Sebarit, American Consul at Falmouth, aad “bearer of Ceapatches. The Arego brings intelligense of the death of Lord ‘Raglan, Commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Fast. The melancholy news was received by Lord Pan- vmoure, from Gen. Simpson, on the afternoon of ths 80th ult. For some days previously Lord Raglan had been suflering from indisposition; but, watil 4 P. M., om the 28th, his Lordship progressed to the satisfaction of his medical attendants. Afterwards, alarming symptoms developed themselves, attended with difficulty of breath. ing, which gradually increased. From6 P.M. he was ‘anconscious, and from that period he gradusily senk, votl twenty-five minutes before 9, at which hour he died, The event has plunged the whole army iato the moat profound griet. It is stated Maj. Gen. Simpson has auccroded Lord Raglan pro (em. General Pellissior’s despatch announcing the death of Lord Ragiaa, is dated on June 28, He says:— tb in eunout ry o prcreerag trty of the nega ey ocdied this -evening at nineo’clock. We are the more affected at this event that within the last twenty-four hours his state appeared mach impreved. In both houses of Parliament on the evening of the 34 inst., a royal message recommending the House to pro- ‘vide some material token of recognition to Lord Raglan for the services he had rendered to his country during “this and previous wars was brought under considera tion, and it was agreed that an annuity ef £1,000 a year should te granted to the widow of his late Lordship, and £2,000 a year to the present possessor of the title, with remainder to his next heir. In the House of Lords, whilst discassing the merits of ‘tbe late Lord Keglan, the Earl of Galloway blamed the goverament for having allowed certsin charges adduced egainat Lord Raglan in Parliament and elsewhere to pass unanswered. To this neglect he believed that the pre smatore death of the late Field Marshal was, in « great aneasure, attributable, ‘The detailed accounta of the attack on the Malakoff and Redan towers made by the allies on the 18th ult., have beea received, and are published in eztenso in the London morning journals. The various correspondents ascribe the repulse and great loss which the Frenoh and Erglish experienced to the want of proper management api the total absence of that military knowledge and judgment so requisite im such hazardous and dificult undertaliogs. The Journal de Constantinople reporta that the town of Krrtch no longer existe—a fire having completed its de struction on the 4th June. A line of electric telegraph has been opened between “Odersa and St. Petersburg, and before long telegraphic communications will be established between St. Pevers- ‘burg and Sebastopol. The Liverpool Post of July 3, says:— <rimee, The bombusdwent was to have boon renewed on Sunday, the let inst., and snother assault made ia @ cay or two. If it fails another general will be meoded. The London Times correspondent, writing from the Bal. tic, states that on the 21st alt. the Amphion, 36, screw fri- gate, while employed in reconnoitering the fortifications at Swesborg, accidentally mistook the channel, and ia ‘consequence grounded. The boats were immoiiately des- patched in all directions to sound, and while soem. ployed one of the near forts opened a brisk fire upon the frigate Four shots struck her, killing one man and ‘wounding two others. The csptain of the Amphion, how- ever, returned the compliment with auch energy and precision, that he succeeded in blowing up a large Rus- asian powder magazine, and occasioned other serious da- ecagt to the fort. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and suite, ar- rived at Buckingham Palace, from Ostend, on the after- noon of the 24 inst., on » visit to Queen Victoria. Admiral Seymour, who was wounded on board her Majeoty’s ship Bamouth, from the bursting of an infer- na! machine, was still suffering, and little hope wasen- tertained of saving the sight of his eye. News from Stockholm states that the British have destroyed Myatadt. The Jeurnal de St, Petersbourg publishes « corres- spondence respecting the outrage at Hango, which Rusala excuses om the ground that the flag of trace was not up. Russia accuses England of making improper use of fags | of truce, Another ‘demonstration’ against Lord Robért Groa- venc*’s Suday trading bill took place in Hyde Park on Sunday, July 1, and excreded ia numbers ani riot the ene which took place the week previous, Aczording to the reporter of the Morning Herald the scene is bsyond description. At the lowest computation upwards of 0,000 mem, women and children were present. Toe proceedings were commenced by a man attempting to address the crowd, which attempt was immediately pat down by the police. This gave rise to an extraordiasry acene of confasion—-the constables’ hats were knocked ‘off, and the several carriages which were bold enough to -venture were hooted, and the horses frightened by the mob. Several of the ringleaders were taken into cus- to’y, but not without giving great trouble to the police, who were in many instances compelled to use their ataves im @ very severe manver. ‘The Extraordimary Session of 1856 of the French Le- gislative Assombly was opened on the afternoon of the 2d instant, by bie Majesty the Emperor. ‘The Paris correspondent of the Daily News atatea thet the Freach government ¢emindss new loan of seven hundred and fifty million franca. It proposes an impost of one teath on produce, and on the revenue accruiag trom the carriage of passengers and goods by railway. 140,000 men of the class 1855 were oalied under arms. In the House of Commons on the 24 July, Lord Robt, Grosvenor withdrew his bili against Sunday trading. The Police Court of Havas, in its sitting of the 34 of July, sentenced to two years imprisonment and » fine of 200 franes each, the fifteen American sailors convicted of having taken part in the riot of the 17thof June. John White, one of the ringleaders of the riot, had fic. ceeded for some time in evading the vigtiance of the po. ice, but was arrested on the 24 of July, and will bs tried In the Raglish money market the funds opened ata Gecline of pa eighth om the morning of the 24.

Foreign cecurities were heavy, with « limited amount of ‘business, The corn market was dull, at a declineof 1s. The English supplies were dropping off, and the foreign had been less, with the exceptionsof oats, beans and peas. Country flour was less abundant. Barley was firm, with a moderate business. ‘The trade accounts from the manufacturing towns for the week were, on the whole, satisfactory. The excellent prospects of the harvests, bot’ in England and this coun- try, having produced s general increase of confidense, At Manchester considerable fluctuations had occurred in prices, and the ability of the manufacturers to mate a decided concession, owing t> the resction of cotton at Liverpool, bad led to an extended, although not a large busicecs, At Brmingham the iron trade showed ia creasing firmness. The copper and brass trades remain- edactive. At Nottisgham there was a partial improve: ment in the lace trade. In the woollen districts a good average business had been transacted, and prices were steady and stocks decreasing In the Liverpool cotton market, om the 24 instant, business was very limited and the sales barely reached 5,CCO bales—2,000 on speculation and for export. Prices were slightly in favor of the buyer. ‘The steamship Exicsson arrived at Havre at 9 P.

Death of Lord Raglan—The Affair of the 18h of June— Opening of the French Legislative Assembly—Louis Na- poleon’s Speech—The Baltic—Second Demonstration in Hyde Park—Lord R. Grosvenor Withdraws his Sunday Trading Bilt, &e. I take advantege of the Arago to send you a line, though there is not very much news stirring. ‘The most prominent feature is the death of Lord Rag- lan, the Commander-in-Chief of the British army in the Crimea. Like St. Arnaud, he fell « victim to disease brought on doubtless by fatigue and anxiety of mind. Bis ceath, however, obviates a difficulty. He and Pelis- sier did not pull very well together. His successor, ad interim, ia General Simpson, Chief of the Staf,a very distinguished officer. Details have now bsen received of the affsir of the 18th, The allies are by no means daunted by this fail- ore; the French flag was astually planted upon the Mala- koff tower, and the English held the Redan; but not be- irg sufficiently supported, they were driven back by the terrific fire poured in upon them, According to the lant accounts every preparation was being mace to renew the attack upon these two impor- tant points, Coute qui coute, Pelisnler is determined to take them, Louis Napoleon has just opened the Franch Legisla tive Assembly, the early convocation of which had for object to procure money for carrying on the war. The amount he wants is thirty millions sterling, and it will be granted, His speech on this occasion, as his speeches always are, was to the point. It evidently shows bia firm determination not to give in to Russia. There has been a little firing in the Baltic; the fleet is now well provided with gunboats, and some of the forts on the coast have been shelled. It appears that all around Cronatadt submarine infernal machines lie as thick as herrings; some sixty or seventy have been picked up; two or three have exploded, giving serious shocks to the vessels under which they exploded, but not doing much material injury. ‘They are well con- structed, and do credit to Professor Jacobi Admiral Seymour and two officers, while examining one of them on the deck of the Exmouth, were nearly killed. It is feared the Admiral will lose one or both eyes. According to the latest advices, the Baltic fleet waa drawn up in two lines close to Cronstait, and some great coup is expected. ‘We are daily expecting a telegraph of the renewed attack upon the Malakoff and Redan. We had another row oa Sunday in Hyde Park. Sus- pecting there would be one, I proceeded there t> wit- ness proceedings, There were some 60,000 or 100,K0 persons assembled, incbuding all classes, Jadien, childran, ke., but very few carriages. The carriages were re, ceived with yells and hisses, and the most riotous of the yellers were seized by the police. An attempt at a reacue of one of the prisoners was made. The police assembled in considerable force and kept the drive clear. In two or three instances they were compelled to use their truncheons. A scuffle with some liteguardsmen, who aided with the crowd, was the most serious part of the busin Lord Robert Grosvenor has withdrawa his bill, avd so the matter will end. The best pert of the joke is tbat Lord R. Grosvenor’s view was « philan- thropic one, He wished to procure « holiday for those tradesmen’s apprentices who are compelled to work on a Sunday. The bill was, however, an obnoxious one, and it is as well it has been withdrawn. A royal message was sent by the Queen to both Houses lest night, intimating her desire to confer some honor and reward upon the heir and widow of Lord Regian. The Indian and China mails sre in. They bring 00 news. Trade dull. From Australia we have advices to the 10th April. There was a sensible decrease in the yield of gold. ‘Spain is wulll very unsettled. The diligences are now almont regularly stopped. Lord Howden was a passenger in one stopped the other day. He was not molested. Straban and Paul’s bankraptcy has given quite aa impetus to the joint-stock banks. The revenue for the quarter is satisinctory. THE GREAT FIGHT OF JUNE 18, THE ASSAULT ON MALAKOFF AND REDAN— THE DELAILS OF THE REPULSE OF THE ALLIES. {Paria (July 1) Correspondence of the London Times, Though your own correspondence direct from the Uri- mea will probably have reached you by this, I cannot resist the temptation of transcribing a (French) letter from Constantinople of the 2ist of June, giving some interesting details of the unsuccessful affair of the 18th.

LORD BAGLAN's DESPATOU.

My Lorp—I informed your lordship on the 16th that new batterien had been completed, and that {a conse- quence the Allies would be enabled to resume the offen- sive against Sebastopol with the utmost vigor. Accordingly, on the 17th, at dazlight, very heavy fire was opened from all the batteries in English and French trenches, and maintained throughout the day, and the effect produced appeared so astiafectory that it was determined that the French should attack the Ma- laboff worka the next morning, and that the Englial sbould assail the Kedan as soon after as I might o: sider it Cerirable, Is was at first propossd that the ariillery fire should be resumed on the morning of the 18th, apd rhould be kept up for about two beurs, for the Purpose of destroying any works the enemy enight ave thrown up in the night and of o; pans, through the absttis that covered the Red at 0 yg of the 1ith it «as intimated to me by Ger Pelisaier that he had determined, upon further coasi ration, that the attank by his troops should take pl morning, The French therefore commensed their operations as day beat od as their several columos came within Tapge red on the enemy's fire thry encountered the moat serious opposition both from musketzy and the guns in ‘the works which bad been nilenced the previous evening, ané, cbeerving this, | wes induced at once to order . columns © move out cf the trenches upon ths lan.

Major General ‘Sir J. Campbell had commainied the Fourth division from the period of the battle of Inker- mann till the arrival, very recently, of Lieutensat Gene- tal Bentinck. He had devoted bimself to his duty with- out say Intermiasion, and had acquired the coalideyce and respect of all. I must deeply iamont his lone.

Lbave pot any definite information upon the move- ments of the French columns, and the atmosphere be- came #0 obscured by the amoke from the guns and mus- ketry that it was not possible by personal observation to ascertain their progrens, though I was particularly well vituated for the purpose; but I understand that their left column, under Gen. D) Autemarre, passed the advanc- ed works of the enemy and threatened the gorge of the Malakoff tower: and that the two other columns, under Generale Mayran and Braaet, who both, I regret to say, were killed, met with obstacles equal to thow we countered, and were obliged in consequence to abai the attack, The superiority of our fire on the day we opened led both Geperai Poliscier and myself, aud the officers of the artillery and engineers of the two services, and the ar mies in general, to conciude that the Russian artillery | fire wa # great measure, subdued, and ration projected could undertaten with every prospect of success, The result has shown that the re. sources uf the enemy were not exhausted, and that the: had still the power, either from their ships or frow thelr batteries, to bring aa over #belming fire upon their ae- lant, While the direct attack upom the Redan was proceed- ing, Lieutenant General Sr R Eogland was directed to send one ot the brigades of the Third civision, under the commuad of M neral Barnard, dowa the Wo- repro reyine, wi support to the at tack! under Major General By: threaten the works as the head of the Do [ bave not yet received their re ‘ ! be able to send them to your lordanip to-day; bat Gen Eyre was very seriously engaged, and he himself wount ea, though I am happy to say not severely, and he pos- sessed himself of a churchyard which the enemy had that ibe ope- place; betas the town front wae not attacked, it be came necemary to withdraw his brigade at I sball make « special report apon this by the next mall, and I sha}! avail myself of the sams opportunity to name to you the officers who have been particularly mentioned to me, Tam concerned to have to inform you that Lieutenant Colonel Tyléen, of the Royal Engineers, whove servicn: | have had the greatest pleseure in brioging #0 frequently to your Lordabip’s potice, in very severely wounted ‘The account I received of him this morning i# upon the whole satiafactory, and | entertain strong hopes that his valuable life will be preserved. | foe) greatly indebted to “lr G.

Success, as the attack is now Cesctibed to us, was hopeless; aud it was demonstrated, as we bad been led to anticipate mre than a week ago, that the interval between the 7th ord the 16th of June enabled the enemy to increase temfold the defvoces of the Mulakhoff Tower and the Redan, [t would require a mere accurate knowielge of ube facts than it ts possible for us to possens to form an Opinion on the pre causee of this miscarriage; but the events themselves are now before us 0a official au- thority, and we muet not brink trom the attempt to r cord az gction not the less gallant because it was uneus- cewaful—nor the leva instructive because it was unfe- vor abie to our arma. The fire wich opened along the whole ef our lines on the 17th of June, ut break of day produce very satisfactory results. By wan nearly silent, four guos only still Malakoff bill, two from the tl ‘ornileff battery, and two from the left of the tower; and before the of the day it was euppdsed that the moment for a nuccess- ful asequit had arrived. lag p by the enemy in the night, and of thctapstiie tnat eovered the itodan. 4 cording to4 pon official account which has reached thi country, this plan was dlaarranged by @ power(ul sortie Of the Russians in the night against the Mam: was repulsed by the Freuch, who were thus drawn oa to begin the assault sooner than had been iutended. Lord Raglan, however, expreasly states that Gen. Pelissier snpovnced, on the preceding evening, that he had re- solved to begin the muvement at three o'clock the following morning. The signal for the atteck of t dan by the English was to be given wheo Lord Ki ees it fit, hoisting @ ting from the eight-gun attery. With thelr accustomed energy and agility the Fone rushed to the attsck, General Mayran and Geasral Bra- net (both of whom were untortuaately killed) com- menoing thelr divisions on the right, and General D'Au- temarre the centre. This last corps, comprising the 19th Regiment of the Line and the Sth Battalion of Chas- seurn, aucceeded inentering tho gorge of the Malakot tower, Buta fresh oitch bad been sunk in the night, many of the gups silenced on the previous day hat been remonnted, and ths French assailing columns were met by a {errific fire from masses of the enemy con- centrated in the works, lam appears to. have imperfectly informed at the time of tbe precise atate of the French assault, but he saw enough to con. vince him that it was incumbent on the British army, at all bazards, to attempts diversion by immediate; movi out of the trenches to storm the Redan, ‘Tre attack began in three columns, uader the mmand of fir George Brown, but so murderous the fire which assailed the columas at of their appearance, that they were we the mome: swept down like flowers by tie hall, and, as we hai al:eady mentioned, each of the killed ‘on the spot. The reserve followed, but oaly to meet the aawe fate, It was, in fact, an attempt not ovly contrary to, but elmost unknown in the practice of war, to take a body of men without cover up to a for- trees defended by superior numbers of the enemy and by euperion weight of guna; the result was therofore what might have been confidea'ly anticipsted from such & departure from aff the rules of attack. Toe early sieges in the Poninaular war, the two first abortive at- tacks on Badajoz, and some others that could be mams have been described as butcherien, from the dixpo attion of our officers to supply the want of superior shid by the indomitable valour of the troops. Sach tempts have rometiages succeeded, But we have to en- counter im Sebastop@, instead of an exbauated garri- | on, & well sppoiwted arioy—not only & oer'ain nuin ber of batteries, but a whole araena! of puss; and there rerurcés, directed an they are will neuaaste ability, rezdex a point plaok attack on auch works the mont denptrate enterprize in which troopa can be engag- ed.

For reasons, however, which nobody can understand, this very seasidle and apperently most practicable design was abandoned, ani the plan waa changed into one ol n ncmalteneens abteck of the two great works—the Malakhoff being undertaten by the French and the Redan by oureelves. Tho first manifest disadvantage of this arrangement was the of our forcer over a field of difficulties nearly extent, and enebling te enemy to bring ® vast pumber of guns into play against ue, which, in the former case, could not have tojured « mar, To vently enhance the chances of failure ta- volved in this plan te ourselves, our whole attacking foros, including rupporta and everybody elas, was lim ited to some four thousand men; whilst the French, with a much juster appreciation of the difficulty that fell to their share, told off twenty-five thousand. Of our hand ful, again, ® large pro; jom consisted of raw recruits, recently arrived to Gill up the gaps in the regimsnte se- lected for the rervice—regiments which, with one or two 1 180, exce, , have borne the whole brunt of our trench Sghting, and suflered accordingly.
