THE NEWS FROM EUROPE. THE MAILS BY THE UNION AND CANADA. THE DETAILS OF THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. THE HARVEST IN FRANCE, te, &e., &eo. The apap. fon, Captain Adams, arrived at this port at halt o’clock yesterdey afternoon, She left Mavre and Southampton on the 26th uit, The Canada arrived at Boston at half-past 6 o'clock yesterdey morning. She left Liverpool on the 29th ult. Gur letters and papers by these steamers have been re- ecived, and we are literally overwhelmed with interesting intelligence of all sorts from all parts of Europe. We sive some additional details relative to the fall of Sebas topol—to give ail would require the space of fifty Hmmatpa. Weare compelled to leave out Marshal Pelissier’s and General Nicl’s splendid despatches, describing the great assault. Itis stated in a letter from St. Petersburg, dated the ‘Mth ult.:—‘‘ We have guilered horrible loss. General Yurasoff is dead. Generals Chruleff, Martineau, Lurof end Wojenkoff are severely wounded, and Kollen is taken Prisoner.” It is further reported at Varna that Genera Osten-Sacken had committed suicide. In speaking of the fall of Sebastopol and the admission of Turkey into the European system, the London Wmes says :—" The Christian subjexts of the Porte must therefore resign themselves to the supremacy of the Western Powers,”” ‘The last intelligence from the Birman Empire announces ‘that an extraordinary embassy was on the point of set- ting out for France, being the firs’ that the Emperor of Bhmah ever sent to any power in the world. Gon. d’Or- goni is to be at its head, The London Glote, of September 28th, says:— M. Pacheco, Minister of Mexico in Paris, has written to ‘he Pays to say that it is an error to suppose, as some wevspaper writers have done, that the recent revolu- tienary movements in that country prepare the way for its annexation to the United States. ‘Whatever may be the changes that take place in Mexico,’’ he declares, “they will always be of a national character; no one thinks of annexation to the United States, and no party for such a purpose has ever existed.”? One of the Madrid letters, of the 21st of September, eontains the following paragraph, which was published in the London Glole. 1% may be news to Mr. Soulé, now Durily engoged in preparing his famous book for the pub- Visher:— The government has received intelligence this morning that M.

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. The Details of the Battle of September 8. @PENING OF THE GREAT AND FINAL BOMBARDMENT— FIRST FIRE AMONGST THE RUSSIAN SIPS. [Correspondence of the London fimes.] Supastoron, Sept. 10, 1855. The contest on which tho eyes of Europe have been turned so jong is nearly aecided—the event on which the hopes of so many mighty empires depended is all but determined. Sebastopol is in flames! The floot, the ob- t of so much diplomatic controversy, and of 30 many joody struggles, h: appeared in the deop, One more erage of carnage has been added to the tremendous, t glorious tragedy, of which the whole world, trom the most civilized nations down to the most barb trous hordes ‘ef. the East, has been the anxious and excited audience. Amid shouts of victory and cries of despair—in frantic aejoicing and passionate sorrew—a pall of black smoke, streaked by the fiery flashings of exploded fortresses, descends upon the stage, on which has been depicted so many varied traits of human misery and of human grost- mess, such high endurance and ealm courage, such lit- Heness and weakness—acro:s which have stalsed charac- ters which history may develope as largely aa the strag- gle in which they were engaged, and pwe'll to gigantesque Broportions, or which she may dwarf into the pettiest dimensions, as unworthy of the part they played. The last and decisive cannounde was, as the worll knows ever so long ago, begun on the morning of Wednes- day, Seyternber 5, by the French, against the Russian wight, consisting of the Quarantine Bateries, the Bas- tion Centrale, and the Bastioa du Mat, with great Vigor and eflect, and at night began a devastating bom- harcment, in which all the allied ba'teries joinol. A fet gicvm fired by 5 French shell and sunk'at night. Oa morning of the ta the English and Prensa together ‘opened the cunnonade, between which the Russian bat feties were almost broken to pieces, gnd which thoy did not dare to answer. In the evening the bombardmen ‘was renewed and kept up all night; a @re appeared behind the Redan, and the enemy seemed by thelr @onstant signalling tobe in much uneasiness, “It wai ebserved that great quantities of forage were being sent across the bridge from the north to tue south wide, although there were no cavalry in the latter. “@n the 7th the cannonade was continued in salvoes, as before, and it was remarked that town begau to show in a mot unmistakable manner the terrible mercy of the nightly bomberdment. Nearly every house withis range was split and in ruins, The bridge between the north and the south sido was much crowded all day with men and carts passiog to and fro, aud large convoys were sten entering aud ieaving the town at the novth sine. Towards evening the head of the great dockyard ahbears, so long a promixent object from our batteries, waught fire, and burnt fercely in the high wind, which was raging allday. A two-decker was set on fire by the French shells, and was destroye(, and a steamer was busily employed towing a large dismasted frigate to the @vckyard, out of range. In the midile of the day there was a council of Generals, and at 2 o'clock it became generally known that thn allies would assault the place at noon on the 8th, after a vigorous cannonade and bom- Dardment. The hour was weil selected, as it was certain ‘that the Russians are accustomed to indulge in a siests about that time. In the courte of the night there was au explosion behind the Redan, HE DAY OF ASSAULT—-APPRARANCE OF THE ALLIED COMMANDERS AND THEIR TROOPS. * On September 8, the weather changed suddenly. This morning it became bitterly cold. A. biting wind right from the north side of Sebastopol blew {otolerable clouds of harsh dust into our faces. fhe san was obscured; the sky was of leaden wintery gray, Early in the mornin a strong force of cavalry, under the command of Colone' Hodge, Was moved up to the trent, and formed a chain of rentries in front of Cathcart’s bill and all along our lines. No person was allowed to pass this line, unless he was a sia officer or. was provided with a pass. Another line of entries in the rear of them was intended to stop stragglers and idlers from Balaklava, and the object in view was protiably to prevent the Russians gathering any intimation of our attack from the unusual accumulation of people on the look-out hills. eneral Felissier during the night collected about 30,000 men in and about the Mamelon, to form the storm- ing columns for the Malakoff and Little Redan, and to vide the necessary reserves. ‘Ihe French were rein- ced by 6,000 Sardinians, who marched up from the Tehernaya last night. It was arranged that the French were to attack the Malakoff at noon, and, as son as thetic witack ber that we were to assault the Revan, It was, asl have -aid, a bitter cold day, acd a stranger would have been astonished at the aspect of the British gene- rals as they viewed the assault. The Commaader-in- Chief, General sizapson, sat in the trenches with his nose and eyes just facing ‘the cold and dust, and his cloak @rawn up over his head, to protect him aghinst both. General Jones wore a red nighteap, and reclined on his Hitter, and Sir Richard Airey, the Quartermaster-General, had a white pockot handkerchief tied over his cap and ears, which detracted somewhat from a martial and bel Ugerent aspect. The Duke of Newcastle was stationed at Cathcart’s hill in the early part of the day, and atter- wards moved off to the right to the picket-house look- ‘out over the Woronzofi road. All the amatenrs and tra- Yelling gentlemen, who rather abound here just now, were in a state of great excitement, and dotted the plain im eccentric attice—which recalled one’s old memories of Gowes, and yachting and sea bathing—were engaged in a series of subtle manceuvres to tarn the tlank of uawary sentries, and to get to the front, and their success was most creditable to their enterprise and ingenuity. RAPID AND SPLENDID ASSAULT OF THE FRENCH ‘A few minutes before 12 o'clock the French, like a swarm of bees, issued forth from their trenches close to the doomed Malakoff, swarmed up its face, and were ‘through its em>rasures in the twin! ting ofaneye. They crosred the seven metres of ground which ariet them from the enemy at a few bounds—they drifted as lightly end quickly as autumn leaves before the wind, battalion fter battalion, into the embrasures, and in « minute or wo after the head of their column issued from the ditch the tricolor was floating over the Korniloff bastion. The pg st ‘was very feeble at first—indeed, our allies took the Russians quite by surprise, and very few of the latter ‘were in the Malakoff: but they soon themselves, and from 12 o'clock till past 7 tn'the ‘evening the French had tomeet and defeat the repeate! attempta of the enemy to regain the work and the Little Redan, when, weary of the fearful slaughter of his men, who Jay in thousands over the exterior of the works, the Mascovite 1, despair- success, irew hiix exhausted legions, and pre- ‘Med, with admirable skill, to evacuate the place = THE ENGLISH ATTACK ON THE REDAN—NUMBER OF MEN ENGAGED. Now it will be observed that, where we attacked the Redan with two divisions only, a portion of each bein, virtually in reserve, and not in the affair at all, the French made their assault on Malakoff with four second wig first and fourth divisions forming the storming columns, pa es third ‘orders for the 2d division were very much the some as those for the light division. The covering party consist ed of 100 men of the 34 Buffs, under Capt. Jolin L pa distinguished himself, and 100 of the Seco ‘Bat of the Rifle Bi , I believe under the com- mand of poor Captain mond. The end y consisted of 160 of the 3d Buffs, under Cap- Mande, whore Pad was very conspicuous ‘throughout the affair, in addition to the of the 97th, ‘under the gallant and lamented Welsford. The part of the force of the Second division consisted of 260 of the ‘34 Buffs, 300 of the dist (Welsh) 200 of the 62d, and a working party of 100 men of the dist, ‘The rest of Wind. fan's brign! , consisting of the 47th and 49th, were in yeserye, together with Warren’s Brigade of the same et division, of which the 30th and 58th were called into tion, and sutfered severely, Brigadier Shirley was Seeiriten cerierens ved to ‘ came a camp that very morning. Colonel Unett of the 19 regiment, was the senior officer in Brigadier Shirley’s ab- sence, and on him would bave devolved the duty of lead- ing the storming column of the Light Divisicn, had the latter not returned. Colonel Unett, ignorant of the Brigadier’s intention to leave shipboard, had to decide with Colonel Windham who should take precedence in the attack. They tossed, and Colonel Unett won. He e538? had it in his power to say whether he would go first or follow Colonel Windham. He looked at the shilling, turn- ed xt over, and said, ‘My choice is made; I'll be first man inte the Redan.” THE ASSAULT WITH SCALING LADDERS—ITS FAIL- URE AND DREADFUL LOSS OF MEN. It was a few minutes after 12 o’clock noon, when our men }eft the fifth parallel. The musketry commenced at once, nud in Jess than five minutes, during which the troops had to pass over about 20 yards from the nearest approach to the parapet of the an, they had lost a jarge proportion of their officers, and were deprived of the aid of their leaders, with the exceptions I have stated, ‘The riflemen advanced admirably, but from their position they could not do much to reduce’ the fire of the guns on the flanks and below the re-entering angles. They crossed, the abattis without difficulty; it was torn to pieces and destroyed by our sbot, andthe men stepped over and through it with ease. The light division made straight for the salient and projecting angle of the Rodan, and came to the ditch, w! is here about 15 feet deo) The party detailed for the purpoe placed the i but they were found to be too short. However, had there pinppaaeg oy ‘them, that would not have mattered much; but some been left behind in the hands of dead or wounded men, and others bad been broken; so that, t¢ one can credit the statements made by those who were ent, ibere were not more than six or seven rs at salient. ‘The men, led by their officers, leaped into the ditch and scrambled up the other side, whence they got up the parapet almont without opposition; for the w Russians who were in front ran back and got behind their traverses and breastworks as soon as they saw our men on the top, and opened fire upon them. Lamentable as it no doubt is, and incredible almost to those who know how the British soldier generally bo- haves before the enemy, the mep, when they got on the rapet, were seized by some strange infatuation, and in firing, instead of following their officers, who now began to fast as they rushed on in front and tried to stimulate their soldiers by their example. Notwithstand- ing the popular prejudice to the contrary, most men stand fire much better than closing with an enemy, It is difficult enough fometimes to get cavalry to charge if they can find any decent excuse to lay by their ‘words and take to pistol and carbine, witl which they are contest to pop away for cyer, bar when cover of any kind is near a+ hand a trenel-bred infantry man finds the charms of the cartridge quite ir- resistitle, The small pasty of the 20th, much diminish- ed, went on gullantly towards the breastwork, but ihey were too weak to force it, and they had to retire and get behind the traverses, where men of different regiments had already congregated, and were keeping up a brisk fire on the Russians, whose heads were just visible above the breastwork. Simultaneously vith “the head of the storming party of the Light Division, Colonel Windham had got inside the Redan on their right, below the salient on the proper left face of the Redan, but in spite of all his exertions, could do little more than the gallant offi- cors of the 90th and 97th regiments. ‘The storming columns of the Second Division, issuing out of the fifth parallel, rushed up immediately after the Light Division. but when they came up close to the apex Brigadier Windham very judiciously brought them by a slight detour on the right flank of the Light Division, so as to come a little down on the slope of the proper left face of tho Redan, The first, embrasure to which they came was in flames, but, moving on to the next, the men leaped into the diteh, and, with the aid of ladders and of each other’s hands, scrambled up on the other side, climbed the parapet, or poared in through the embra- sure which was undefended. Colonel Windham was the first or one of the yery first men in on this side, and with him entered Paniel Mahoney, a great ier of the dist, Killeany and Cornellis of the egiment. As Mahoney entered with a cheer, he shot through the head ‘by a Russian rideman ‘and fell dead xeross Colonel Windham, and at the same mo- ment Killeany and Cornellis were both wounded. As the alarm of anassault was spread the enemy came rushing up from the barracks in rear of the Redan, and increased the force and intensity of their fire, while our soldiers dropped fast and encouraged the Russians dy their emsoballty and the weakness of their fusillade, from which the enemy were well protected. In vain the officers, by voice and act, by example and daring, tried to urge our soldiers on. They had an impression that’ the Relan was all mined, and that if they advanced they would ali be blown up, but mony of them. acted as became the men of Alma and Inkermaun, and, rushing to the front, were swept down by the enemy’s fire, The officers fell on all sides, singled ‘out for the enemy’s five by their courage. ‘the men of the different regiment» became mingled together in inextricable confusion, ‘The 19th men did not care for the orders of the officers of the 88th, nor did the soldiers of the 23d heed the commands of an officer who did not belong to his regiment. ‘The officers could not find their men—the men had lost sight of thelr own officers, All the brigadiers, save Colonel Windham, were wounded or rendered unfit for the guid- ance of the attack. The narrow neck of the salient was too close to allow of any kind of formation, and the more the men crowded into itthe more they got out of order, and the more they suffered froin tha enemy’ fire. This mize: rable work lasted for an hour, The Rassiaus were now ia dense masses behind the breastwork, aud Colonel Wind- ham walked back again across the open space to the leit to make one more attempt to retrieve the day. ‘The men on the parapet of the salient, who were firing at the Russians, gent their shot about him, and the latter, who were pouring voiley after Folley on all potuts of the head of the work, likewise directed their muskets against hi but he passed through this cross fire in safety, and got within the inner parapet on the left, where the men were becoming thinner and thinner, A Russian oflicer now stepjed over the breastwork, and tore down a gabion with his own hands; it was to make room for a field piece, Col. Windham exclaimed to several soldiers who were firing over the parapet, “Well, as you are so fond of firing, why don’t you shoot that Russian?” They fred a yolley avd missed him, and soon afterwards the field piece began to play on the head of the saliont with grape. Cotonel Windham saw thore was no time to be lose. He had sent three officers for reinforcements, and above ail, for men in formation, and he now resolved to go to Gene- ral Codrirgton himself. Seeing Captain Crealock, of the Sth, near him, busy in, encouraging his mon, and ex- erting himself with great conrage and energy to get them into order, he said, ‘I must go to the General for sup- ports. Now mind, let it be known, in case 1am killed, why J went away.” CONDUCT OF THE ALLIED TROOPS. {From the Paris Moniteur, Sept. 22.] The capture of Sebastopol has eaused the greatest joy in England as well asin France. In fact, it was just that, after having shared the dangers and the sacrifices of this war, the two people should take an equal share in the glory of the triumph, Since the commencement of the stroggle France and Fngtand, united by an intimate community of views and efforts, have shown a sort of emulation in providing each according to its resources the means cf assuring success. If France was able to rend out more rcldiers, England provided a greater num- ber of ships, and, nevertheless, sent successively to the Crimea 80,000 troops, collected from all points of her im- mene empire. Thanks to the prodigious naval armament of the allied ower, their flags rule on every sea, and exclude Russia Kom it? The enemy bas seen’ his’ ships. blockaded or burnt in hie ports, his coasts devastated, his commerce annihilated, his foregn relations destroyed. From the Sea of Azoff to the gWhite Sea, from the Baltic to Kamiesch, Russia is imprisoned by our fleets. While by force of courage our soldiers triumphed over the des- erate resistance of the Russian army, the combined fects destroyed their provicions and intercepted their communications, at the same time that they kept up abundance in the allied armies, and brought them daily new reinforcements. Our own maritime resources would scarcely have sut- ficed for the transport of our troops and of the enormous quantity of moérial which such a war at 9 distance 00 Jeigues from the ecuntry demanded. The Fag! Admiral'y placed 60 vessels of the Royal and Commercial Navy at the disposal of France, which conveyed to the Crimea nearly 40,000 of our troops with 2,000 horses and 7,000 tons of mati Every one knows moreover that if Bomarsund fell under the blows of our soldiers, it was chiefly the Englich navy that took them there in ail the phases of this war, at Alma and at Inker- mann, as at Bomarsund and at Sweaborg, the armies and fleets ‘of Fngland and France have mingled their blood together, and emulated each other in bravery for the common eause. At the Tchernaya onr allies hastened up to our sup- ort as we hastened up to support them at Balaklava, in the last and victorious efforts against Sebastopol Eng- lish and French equaily fulfilled their heroic task. Of several different points of attack one only was con- uered at first; but the triumph is not the less due to all the corps of the allied army, which mutually support ing each other and sharing the resistance of the enemy, finally compelled him to abandon the walls of that town which even bis despair could no longer defend. Thus the Commander-in-Chief of the French army was only just when he attributed to the English army a large sharo of glory in the suscessof that great day's work. As regards the pecuniary sacritices which our allies have imposed upon themselves, they are equal to ours, if they do not exceed them. Without «peaking of the Turk- ish loan of 100,000,000 fr., guaranteed, itis true, by France as well as by England, but contracted for entirely by our neighbors, nor of the fifty millions advanced by them to the Piedmontese ent to enable it to give us the so useful assistance of her brave sobliers, Englant has «pent in this war nearly 400,000,000 fr. last'year, and bas provided so that ste can spend this year more than a milllard, if necessary. This enormous burden and all these sacrifices the Eng- lish people knew how to support, like the French people, not only with resignation, but with that energy which proves that {t wil apere nothing till its object is attained; and it may be sald that, with our neighbors as with our- selves, the nation is not satisfied with following and sup- porting its government, but in some measure beyond it, by providing it with all the means for aseuring the triumph of a cause the justice and grandeur of which are understood by both peoples. ‘THE LAST BRITISH BAYONET STRUGGLE—APPzAR- ANCE OF THE DEAD. The struggle that took place was short, desperate and loody. Gur soldiers, at every disadvantage, met the enemy with the bayonet too, and isolated combats took place in which the brave fellows who stood their ground had to defend themselves agains? three or tour adversaries at once. In this mélée the officers, armed only with their swords, had little chance; nor had those who carried pistols much opportunity of using them ia such a rapid contest. They fell like heroes, and many a galiant roldier with them. The bodies of ish and Russians inside the Redan, locked in an em- brace which death could not relax, but had rather cemented all the closer, lay’ next day inside the Redan as evidences of the terrible animosity of the struggle. Bat the solid weight of the advancing mass, u on and fed each moment from the rear, by company after company, and battalion after batallion, prevailed at last against isolated and dis- jointed bend, who had ctenStoed the Protection of ume- | wshot was Gred to the NEW ¥ORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1855. nimity of courage and had lost the advan' of disci. pline and obedience. As though somo pag th had advanced into the sea and forced back the waters that had buffeted it, so did the Russian cotumas press down inst the spray of soldiery which fretted their see fire steel, and contended in vain against their weight. The struggling band was ferced back by the ene- m; Mi Moved on, crushing frieud and foe beneath their 801 tramp, and, bi ‘enting and exhaustel, our men lay in heaps in ditch beneath the parapet, sheltered behind stones and in bomb craters in the elope of the work, or tried to pass back our advanced parallel and sap, and had to run the gaun- tlet of a tremendous fire. y of them lost their lives, or were seriously wounded in this attempt. The scene in the ditch was appaling, although some of the oilicers have assured me that they and the men were laughing at the precipitation with w! many brave and lant fel- lows did not horitate from plunging headlong upon the mass of bayonets, muskets, sprawling soldicrs—the Jadders were all knocked down or broken, so thot it was cifticult tor the men to get up at the other side, and the dead, the dying, the wounded, and the sound were all lying in heaps together, The Kussians came out of the embrasures, plied them with stones, grape shot and bay- onet, but were soon forced to retire by the fire of our bat- teries and riflemen, and under cover of this tire many of our men egcaped to the approaches. FALL OF THE QUARANTINE BATYERIES—NAVAL OPERATIONS AGAINST SEBASTOPOL. The following is a letter from an officer who took part in the naval operations against the Quarantino Battories before Sebastopol, on the 8th ult:— Orv Sgpastorot, Sept. 10,—On Saturday, the 8th inst., ‘we were all to have gone In (at noon) to attazk the forts, &e., at the same time that the assault was made on the Malakoff, Kedan, and Central Bastion; but unfortunately it blew agale from the northward, which prevented the fleet from getting under weigh, to ‘the great Aisappoint- ment of all. Capt.{Wilcox was very fortunate in being em- ployed actively in command of the mortar vessels, and in conjunction with the French doing good service. ‘The mortar versels kept up a covgtant fire on the forts Alex- ander, the Quarantine, and umerous bastions and outworks, besides throwing carcases into the town—~ which caused destructive fires in several places, Atnoon, or rather about 1 P. M., we observed the French in pos- session of the Malakoff, which appeared to have been carried with ease and the most complete success, but not 80 the Redan or Central Bastion, where both our troops Jand the French were repulsed with great loss. Thegene- ral ae ceased towards evening, with only a partial cannot up to it, when explosion after explo- sion rapidly succeeded each in the town and out- works. Soon after daylight we discovered that the Rus- sians had deserted the south side, and that the whole lace was on fire and their line-of-battle ships sunk. uring the forenoon of the 9th, forts Nicholas and Alex- ander were blown up: the explosions were terrilic, quite darkening the place for hours, spreading the mantle of destruction for miles around. Agreat number of both French and English met with dreadiul accidents from being too venturesome in trying to penetrate into the burning town, some in search of plander, and some from curiosity. ‘this morning, the (Oth, we found all the forts partially blown up, and the town still burning, with oocanional explosions. The Rus- sians are vory quiet, and there is apparently a great panic among them, Large parties are burying their dead in detp trenches on the north side, and from the number of wounded and dead left in their defences, their loss must have been enormoar—more, | expect, than they will ever own. Ail the tleet are now placed in position to prevent the possibility of the Russian steamers making taeir es- cape during the night, forming a cordon outside of Sebas- topol for some miles. ' They will probably be destroyed in aday or two by the mortar-vessels and rocket-boats, un- less they save us the trouble by sinking them alongside of the line of battle ships. An armistice of twenty-four hours has been granted; after that I suppose we shall go to work again, and drive them from the neighborhood. The whole place has a most desolate appearance, and the quiet which has now taken the place of the constant boom- ing of guns is most remarkabie. WHAT THE FRENCH SOLDIERS SAID. The French, indeed, have been generous enough to say that our troops behaved with great bravery, and that they ‘wondered how we kept the Redan so long under such a tremendous fire, but British soldiers are rather accustomed to the nil’ admirari under such circum- stances, and praise like that gives pain as well as plea- sure. Many soldiers, of the opinion to which I have alluded, think that wo should at once have renewed tho attempt once made, and it ix but small consolation to them to know thet Geneaal Simpson intended to attack the Redan the following morning, inasmuch as the Rus- sians anticipated our probable success, and by retreat deprived us of the chance of retrieving our veputation, and at the same time acknowledged, by their desperate withdrawal, the completeness of the success achieved by our allies. THE LOSSES—-THE WOUNDED AND THEIR TREATMENT. It will be seen that no less than 964 mea were wounded in the Light Division, and it is most creditable to the medical oflicsr in charge, Dr. Alexander, and_ to his sur- geons, that all these men wero comfortably in bed and had their wounds dressed and their wants attended to by 8 o'clock the same evening. ‘The loss of officers in Windham’s Brigade, and in the portion of Warren’s Brigade which moved to his support, is equally seve.o. The loss in the two brigades of this division ii not less than 700 men. ‘ihe whole loss cannot bo estimated at less than 2,200 or 2,800 men. EVACUATION OF THE rows BY THE RUSSIANS—THE EXPLOSIONS, FIRE AND DESTRUCTION OF THE FLOATING BRIDGE. At eight o’clock night of September 8th, the Russians ‘began quietly to withdraw from the town, in the princi- palhouses of which they had previously stored up com- bustibles in order to render obastopol & second Moscow. With great art the general kept up a fire of musketry from hfs advanced posts, as though he intended to renew the atiempts {to regain the Malakoff. Ere two o’closk morning of 9th, the ‘leot had been skuttled and sun’, wih the exception of the steamers. Alout 12.0 the men of the 2d division on duty in the trenches observed a preternatural silence in the Kedan, and some yolunicers erept up into it. Nothing could they hear but the heavy breathing and groaas of the wounded and dying, who, with the dead, wore the sols oscupants of the place. As the Redan was known to bo mined, the men were withdrawn, and soon atterwards {" 9 Russian tneties began to develope themselves. About? o'clock flames were observed to break ont in different parts of the town. They spread gradually all over the principal buildings. At 4 o'clock a stupendous explosion behind the Relan shook the whole camp; it was followed by four other ex- plosions equally stariling. The city was enveloped in fire and smoke, and tore asunder with the tromendons shocks of these voleances, At 4.45 the Fiagstaff aad Gaiden Batteries blew up. | At 5.80 two of the southern forts went up into the air, and the effect of these exp'y- sions was immensely increased by the rush of a great number of live shell into the air, which exploded iu ull directions. All this time a steady current of infantey was passing in unbrvken masses to the north side over the bridge, and at 6.45 ihe Jast battalions passed over, and the hill sides opposite were alive with their masses, Several small explosions took place inside the town at 7.10. Columns of black smoke began to rise from (le neighborhood of Fort Paul at 7.12. ‘At 7.15 the connexion of the floating bridge with the south side was severed, At 7.16 flames began to ascend from Fort Nicholas. ‘At 8.7 the bridge was floated off in portions to the north ride. At 0 o’clock several violert explosions took place in the works on our left, opposite the French. ‘The town was by this time in a mass of flames, and the pillar of black, gray, and velvety fat smoke’ from it seemed to support the very heavens, ‘The French kept up tiring guns on tho let, probably to keep out nteng- glogs, but cre the Russians left the place the Zouaves ant sailors were in it, and engoged busily in plundering.

The plunder was enormous, LAST RALLY OF THE RUSSIANS AT THE MALAKOFF. The Russians did not, however, leave the French in porsersfon of the Malakoff without one grand effort +» islodge them. Between 2 and 3 o’clock they came on, having drawn up their reserves. Nor bad the French lost thefr time. Mellinet’s divicion of tho Imperial Guard had come up, and at the same time four batteries of field artillery arrived. They lost some horses in pass- ing the open ground from the Mamelon to the Malakoff, and a tumbril exploded jast as they were passing the former; but they bravely advanced, and occupied a post- tion in'the rear between the Malakoff and the Little Re- dan, Ali the efforts of the Russians were unable to gain any advantage ; it was a fight in the open field, and they were no longer'a match for our gallant allies. Besides, the second line of the Malakoff works being closed ali round, was now turned rgainst them. According to the accounts of prisoners, immediately after it became clear that the Russians liad no chance of retaking the Malakoff the order for evacuating the whole south side was given, although the musketry was continued till late in the evening, As the French wd. vanced into the suburb of Karabelnaia they still found the Russians, who had betaken themselves t> the ruined houses in a vain attempt to hold out, and nambers of their dead were lying in the interior, AN ALLIED DESCRIPTION OF THR MALAKOFF. The Malakotf consists of two entirely distinct works; the original Round Tower, of which only the quadran- gular base remains, on which the telegraph is already usy; in the last days of the sic it mounted no guns; it served only as a magazine and observatory; in feout of it is a round bastion, following the lines of the old tower. Everything which military engineering can devise for defence has applied in the most approved manner. The ditch ent in the rock, which lies nearly on the aur- fnee, is not revetted, but cut in an acute angle, and is from fifteen to twenty feet in depth. On the side of it runs the colorsal parapet—three gabions placed one upon the other, and the top protected by several rows of sindbags. The interior, which, contrary to what was the case in the elon, is nearly intact, is worthy of the exterior. The ground has been 40 slopei that from eight to ten steps formed of fascines are required to ascend it. The guns and gunners are protected by the strong mantlets. of ropes, which hal deen likewise observed at the embrasures of the Mamelon. The tra- verses are made into so many bombproofs and poe the body of them is cut inthe rock, and roofed in with tim- ber of the strongest kind, evidently pieces of masta taken from the and the ships, as many of them have still the paint upon them, This roof is protected, like the pare three rows of gabions one above the other anda quantity of earth. How safe they made them you may imagine, when you hear that the powder magazine wasa most prominent object, which often exeised the curiosity of our gunners, but escaped the slightest injury. Besides the regular traverses there are likewise bomb- proof shelters on both sides of the guna for the gunners, so that they could at any moment escape shot and shell. Besides, the height of the parapet is such that only very rarely cur guns could touch theira, and the nui of dismounted guns seems marvelously small in eomy with the heavy bombardments they had to stand. The second line is an oval without any It is closed on all sides with two entrances—one towards the front and the other towards the muburb, The first line is on one side connected with the Great, and on the other with the Little Redan. The subarb is nearly entirely des- troyed—all the roofs knovked in, and doors and windows gone, APPEARANCE OF THE HOSPITAL 0! SEBASTOPOL. Of all the pictures of the horrors ot war which have ever been presented to the world, the hospital of Sebas- topol presenta the most horrible, heartrending, and re- volting. It cannot be described, and the imagination of a Fuseh could not conceive an; atall like uato it, How the poor human body can be mutilated aud yet hold ita soul within, when every lim) is shattered, and every vein and artery is pouring out the life stream, one might study here at every step, and at che same time wonder how little will kill. The building used as a hopsital is one of the noble piles inside the dockyard wall, and is sitnate in the centre of the row at right angles to the line of the Redan. The whole row was peculiarly exposed to the action of shot and shell bound- ing over the Redan, and to the missiles directed at the Barrack Battery, and it bears im sides, roof, windows and doors, frequent and distinstive proofs of the severity of the cannonade, Entering one of thoxe doors, Tbeheld such asight as few men, thank God, have ever witnessed. In a long low roomy supported by square pillars, arched at the top, and dimly lighted through shattered and un- lazed window frames, lay the wounded Russiane, who faa been abandoned to our mercies by their general. The wounded, did Isay? No, but the dead, the rotten and festering corpses of the soldiers, who were left to die in their extreme agony, untended, uncared for, pack ail aw close a they could be stowed, some on the floor, others on wretched tressels and bedstoxds, or pal- leta Of straw, sopped and saturated with blood, which oczed and trickled through upon the floor, mingled with the droppings of corruption. With the roar of explod- ing fortresses in their ears, with shells and shot pouring through the roof and sides of the rooms in which they lay, with the crackling and hissing of fire around them, tliesa poor fellows, who had served their loving frien and master, the Czar but too well, were cons! to their terrible fate, Many might have been saved by or- dinary care. Many lay, yet alive, with maggots crawl- ing about im their wounds. Many, nearly mad by the scene around or secking to escape from it in their extremest agony, had rolled away under the beds, and glared out on the heartstricken spectator, oh with such ooks! Many with legs and arms broken and twistod, the jagged aplinters sticl rough the raw 70) gets food or pity; or deprived of speech by the roach of death, or by dreadful injuries in the head k, pointed to the lethal spot. Many seemed bent alone on making their peace with Heaven. The atti- tudes of some were so hideously fantastic as to appal and root cno to the ground by n sort ot dreadful fascination, Could that bloody mass of clothing and white bones ever have been a human being, or that burnt black mass of flesh have ever bad a human soul? It was fearful to think what the answer must be. The bodies of numbers of men were swollen aud bloated to an incredible degree. and the features distended to a gigantic size, with oyes protrnding from the sockets, and the blackened tongue lolling out of the mouth, compressed tightly by the teeth, which had set upon it'in the death rattle, made one shudder and ree) 1ound. In the midst of one of these “chainbers of horrors’—for there were many of them— were found some dead and some living English soldiers, and among them poor Captain Vaughn, of the 90th, who has since succombed to his wounds. I confess it was impossible for me to stand the sight, which horrified our most experienced surgeons; the deaiily, clammy stench, the smell of gangerenod wounds, corrupted blood, rotting flesh, were intolerable and odious beyond endurance. But what must have the wounded felt who were obliged to endure all this, and who passed away without a hand to give them a cup of water, or a voice to say one kindly word to them? Most of these men were wounded on Sa- turday—many perhaps on the Friday before—indeed it is impossible to soy how long they might been there. In the hurry of their retrent the Muscovites seom to have carried in dead men to get them out of the way, and to have put them upon palieis in horrid mockery. £o that their retreat was secared the enemy cared bat Ifttle for their wounded. On Monday only did they re- ceive (hore whom we sent out to them during a brief ar- mistice for the purpose, which was, I believe, sought by ourselves, as our overcrowded hospitals could not con- tain and our overworked surgeon could not attend to any more.

MONEY MARKET. Taunspay, Oct. 116 P.M. There was an active but a very depressed stock saar- ket this morning. It will be seen by the quotations that all the rales were at lower prices, Money is daily »- coming less abundant, and ft certainly looks as tio. the market was upon the eve of another sharp pin Yesterday and to-lay the demand in the street was un \- sually active, and up to the latest moment there were calls upon all the leading brokers for loans. At the first board Virginia 6's declined 3{ per cent; Indiana 5's, 34 ; Penntylvania Coal, 1; Erie, 14; Harlem, 34; Stonington, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, 1; Galena and Chicago, 3; Reading Railroad, 94; Hudson Pailcoad, %. Nicaragua remains unchanged. There was -more doing day in Harlem, but speculators are so stron, ly impressed with the bellef that there no real value in the stock, that they have no di§ position to touch it. There would be plenty of sellers, if there were any buyers in the market. There was an effort wade this morning to inflate Cumberland, upon the strength of favorable reports regarding a new loan to re- move the mortgage debt, but it was only a flash. Read- Ing closed heavy, with considerable aales. Erie was lowor to-day, but it is wonderfully sustained. It must be a load for the individuals who in their blind confidence suppored that they could saddle outsiders, or @ new class of specu- Aitors, with such a stock at anything like current prices, Iftheir backs are not powerfully and permanently sus- tained by some of the Wall street banks, there will be some of them breaking before the war in the Crimea is closed.

It was supposed that not more than two-thirds of the land warrant issued under the late act have been sold, but are stillia the hands of the warrantees. The demand at present from Towa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, is Apo bag and will probably continue until after the in Minnesota, which commence on 22d inat., and the closing of navi- gation and travel by ice and snow. The present issue now exceeds five hundred per day, which will average one hundred and twenty acres each, or sixty thousand acres per day, from which some idea of the vast locations in the Western States may be formed, when it is seen that this large isaue does not supply the demand.

The private letlers from Paris, however, mention a general conviction among the mercantile, classes that, upon an announcement of the Bank of England haying gone up to § per cent, « aliilar measure will be speedily forced upon em. ‘The large amount of Australian gold brought by the Frances Henty and the Northumberland is expected to be in course of delivery to-morrow, but, ‘o the astonish- ment of every one, it is alleged that the Bank of France, in order to create a temporary confidence as to the extent of their supply, aro continuing to make heavy purchases ata loss, and that conseqnently a great portion of the arrivals—probably about balf—will be unnaturally di- verted to Paris. According to some reports, the total amount which the Bank of France originally arranged to obtain from this ride was £1,000,000, of which the largest yart may perhaps already have been despatched. With the certainty that in the course of a few weeks, when the paper by which the operation must have been carried out shall mature, the whole sum must bo returned, the affair appears one of the most inexplicable ever recorded. That it should have had the result of disturbing all calcula- tions on this side was inevitable, since no person capable of forming an opinion on tho’ probable and legitimate couree of business transactions would haye been likely to entertain such a contingency. If a commercial panic had prevailed in France, merely requiring a pallia- tive to allay unreasonable fears, the step might have been accounted for; but at a moment when the or- dinary course of trade is sound, and nothing seem- requisite but an advange in the rato of discount to a nor~ mal point, it isso wholly unlike what might have been expected from an establishment managed with the pru- dence of the Pank of France, that the greatest curiosity is felt to learn if any explanation exists which may not be immediately apparent. Many persons, seeing how utterly impossible it is to euggest any ordinary solution, Ihave been disposed to faney that Russia. whose nood for bullion is probably dexperate, must have set on foot some fecret operation to obtain a supply on credit, and that the statements regarding the Bank of France are merel: fictions, intenJed to cover it, This supposition seems al- together improbable, but if it were to beceme prevalent, it would be highly desirable that every means should be exerted to ascertain the real character of the trananc. ticn, Stock Exchange. ‘Tacnspax, Oct. 11, 1855, 800 shs FrieRi....33 55 $6000 Virginia 6’: 1000 10 ws. +5..6 0633 100 2000 Ill IntIiap “47. 102° 100 11600 Fenn 6's, 90.88 9435 100 do. 18009 Missourl O's.., $834 | 200 Harlem Ri. ae) 00 12 Stonington RR... 75 Chi & jwooe O44 100 Reading RR..s30 94 1¢ 400 1060 HR Ist m a 5000 HC RR by 200 do. 8000 do. 20000 40600 do 1000 N ¥ Cen 67a...

Rye flour was steady at $6 » $7 for fine and super- fine. Jersey cornmeal was steady at $4 75, and 1 of 160 bbls.
