FOR THE EXAMINER,

THE MAY FLOWER.

** We bloom amid the snow.”

Fair herald of the wilding flowers, The sweetest one of dells and bowers, Blooming in wintry Aprit hours,

On rugged sylvan straud.

*Mid lingering ice and blightful storm, Their rude assaults at eve and morn, In beauty’s bloom and fairest form, You smile on desert land.

No fostering hand did tend thee here, Nor gentle one with anxious care Did ehield thee from the bitter air, And nipping adverse gale.

Lone on thy bleak and lowly bed, The snowy storms swept o’er thy head, Aud seem’d to dare thy buds outspread, As nature's face grew pale.

But He, who made the potent sea,

And azure gemm’d immensity,

The gorgeous Earth and all that be Beneficently true—

Charged the fierce tempests in the sky To pass unharm'd thy flowret by, And sent his sun beams from on high, As nurses dower to you.

| And victor o’er portentuous ill, Cheer’d on by Phoebus’ visits still, Thy grateful bud blooms at the will Of tae Almighty power,

In charms 60 rare, so moekly sweet, Creation’s darling flower we greet, Warmly as genial spirits meet In raptures’ burning hour.

When feeling’s sacred sources swell

And, blandly graceful, fondly tell

Of scenes that, sweet in memory dwell, Endearment’s noblest power.

The genius of the sou! of iife— With love’s and friendship’s virtues rife— Unnarrd by scar, unscarr'd by strife,

And pure as thee swect fower !

Ah, lovely one, with joys entwin’d, All freshly green, around the miad, That feeling’s tendrils gently bind Within the bosom.s core.

On Edward’s Isle and wilds and plain, A wanderer welcome bids again Thy peerless bloom, nor speaks in yain Its tonguless voice once more.

THE WAR.

Every hour that passes may now be expected to bring us intelligence of the deepest moment froin Sebastopol. There no longer remains a doubt that the long delayed bombard- ment is about to commence in earnest, and that the question of the pregnability or impregnability of this famed fortress, will be finally put to the test before the present month is out, A correspondent, upon the accuracy of whose communications we have every reaSon to place an implicit reliance, writing from the heights before Sebastopol on the 26th March, con- fidently assures us that “ our bombardment is certain now to take place ina short tims. So little in the way of prepara- tion now remains to be done, that if it were Lord Raglan’s wish, there is nothing wanting of sufficient importance to hinder him commencing to-morrow. Each gun has now 400 rounds of ammunition, and the store of powder necessary for this amount of shot is alsoin readiness. The general opinion is that within three or four days at latest, we shall open fire ; and I certainly think such a step will be taken in the course of a week at latest.’ The same writer says, “ what will be the result of this second bombardment, of course none can tell; but our engineer officers seem at least confident that the place will be ours, though not without a desperate coutest. One thing, however, is a matter of positive certainty—namely, that if the allied commanders wish it, the whole town could be utterly destroyed in twenty-four hours. Not one stone will remain upon another if our guns and mortars are direct- ed against it.” A high by gratifying instance of the extraordi- nary accuracy of the Kuglish gunnery, and of the terrible efficiency of the orduance planted in our batteries, is thus graphically described :—« This morning a heavy gun on the left embrasure of the Mamelon was op2ned by the enemy 20 No. 3 battery in our right attack. The electric telegraph bas now been completed between Lord Raglan’s head quarters and all the trenches ; and by this a message was sent inform- ing his lordship of the position of the gan, and asking advice. The repiy was—* Pight it;” and preparations were made ae- cwidingly. Along G3-pounder gun from the Terrible was found to bear upon the precise spot, and, therefore, was the ;gun selected to fizht the Russian one. The practice made with it was perfct-—never was better firing scen since the siege commenced, The very first shot tore away one side of the Russtam embrasare, and laid the enemy’s gun completely

opea. The next struck the gun full in the muzzie, shattering aud dismounting it within five minutes afier the o:der bay beca given to fight the enemy’s gan. Lord Raglan was jn. formed by the telegrapk that the gun had been fouglit, and ; Was then dismounted and broken. Orders were then sex: | back for the same 68-pounder to fire every haif-hour in the same direction for the rest ot the day. Before the day was half over, the greater part of the earthwork at each side of

[EDITOR sxv PUBLISHER

Lord Raglan, in a despatch of the 27th March, directs: the attention of the Ministerof war to the gallant conduct of the officers and men who distinguished themselves in repelling the Russian sortie of the 23d, and corrects the erroneous re- port that Colonel Kelly, of the 34th, and Captain Montague, of the Royal Engineers, bad been killed on that occasion. Those two officers fell into the hands of the enemy, and are still living, although Kelly was rather severely wounded in the head and hand,

The announcement that Omar Pasha had moved on the Alma turns out to have been premature. It appears, how- ever, that he has occupied two villages about half a league from Eupatoria, and increased the circle of the fortifications of the town as to afford protection to an army of 50,000 men. Hie has latterly been reinforced by a brigade of 10,000 Egyptains. he impression still prevails that a combined movement in the field between a portion of the Turkish,

troops under Omar Pasha, and a portion of the Freach,_ under the command of General Bosquet, will be made. con-.

currently with the recommencement of the bombandment ; and it is believed that the openion of the Allied batteries has been purposely delayed, until sufficient means of land trans- port could be brought to the Crimea to enable the French and Turkish battalions to take the field with the desired effect. It

seems to be arranged that the English army, now in high.

health and vigour, is to be entrusted with the defence of Bala Clava, and the plateau between that port and Sebasio- pol. The plans of the Allied generals are, however, very properly kept profoundly secret; and on opinion founded upon an endeavour to penetrate them, can be but conjectural.

We have no certain intelligenee of the recent movements of the enemy in the Crimea, beyond the faci that he still maintains a close observation upon Bala Clava and Eupatoria, and that his strength upon both those points appeas’s to have been latterly somewhat increased,

MORE HEROIC CONDUCT OF OUR SOLDIERS—RECAPTURB OF THK MORTAR BATTERY FROM THE RUSSIANS. wamp before Sebastopol, March 26.

The affair of Thursday night and Friday morning last was not se serious for us as was at first imagined. Our loss, in- stead of being nearly 100 killed, wounded and missing, did not amount to much more than half that number. When the Mortar Battery was carried by an enormous force of the enemy, they held it for about fifteen minutes, and were dis- lodged by a handful of men, who displayed the utmost gal- lantry and daring. Our men do not relish wight fighting. They would sooner meet 10,000 Russians by day than 2,000

‘in the dark, but the circumstances attending this act evince

the greatest coolness and bravery oa the part of the men and officers engaged in it. At the time the heavy fire between the Freneh and Russians was going on, a portion of the 90ih tegiment were employed on fatigue duty on the right of the new advanced works on our right attack. They were in the act of returning to their posts in the Gordon Battery just at the moment the heavy firing on the right had ceased, when a scattered, irregular fusillade commenced in the dark ov the left of their position close to the Mortar Battery. Captain Vaughton, wio commanded the party of the 90th, ordered his men to alvance along the covered way to the woiks. They moved up in double time, and found the Russians in complete possession of the Mortar Battery. The 90:h Reg:- ment at once opened as heavy a fire of musketry as they possibly could upon the enemy, who returned it, but the cool- ness and steadiness of our men were giving us the advantage,

when an alarm was given that our men were firing upon the French; but the mistake was speedily discovered by the

enemy’s fire being poured in with more deadly effect, and the

small party of the 90th were thrown into great confusion.

Captain Vaughton, at this momeut shouted, “ Men of the

90ih, follow me!” and Sergeant Henry Clarke, Sergeant

Brittle, a sergeant of the 7th Fusileers, about 14 men of the

90th, and a few of the 7th, dashed out of the confused ranks,

and rushed right into the Mortar Battery. Ina few mo-

ments those brave fellows drove the enemy beyond the first

traverse, and at the narrow way leading into the second

traverse they made a stand and opened a heavy flanking fie

on the parapet, over which the Russiavs were making deter-

mined efforts to come upon them. The narrow pass wos

meantime defended by the sergeants and a few men, who

dclivered fire as fast as they could load right into the Rus-

sians, who gradually began to give way. With a loud

“hurrah” the gallant little band sprang with the bayonet

upon the enemy, who at once precipitately retired over the

parapet, followed by our rifle balls, which were poured in

upon them incessantly till every round in the men’s pouches

wus expended. In order to keep up the fire, the men groped

about among the dead Russians, and exhausted all the ear- tridges they could find in the enemy’s pouches. At the first

charge at the Mortar Battery, the Russian leader, who wore

an Albanian costume, and whose gallantry was most con- spicuous, fell dead, As an act of justice, the names of the

officers and men of the party of the 90ui Regiment, whose

conduct was distinguished in this affair, should be recorded.

They are—Clarke, Britule, and Essex (sergeants), Caruthers, severely wounded (corporal), Fare, Walsh, Nicholson,

(wounded), and Nash. waptain Vaughton received a severe contusion in the affair. The courage displayed by Captain, Cavendish Browne, of the 7th, in another part of the works was most conspicuous. Ile was severely wounded at the commencement of the attack, but he refused to go to the rear, though nearly fainting from loss of blood. He led ou his men, encouraging them by voice and gesture, to the front. When his body was found, it lay far in advance of our line. with three balls in the chest. It is not known bow many Albanian chiefs there were with the Russians, but certainly the two who were killed led them on with iutrepidity and ferocious courage. One of them, who struggled into the battery in spite of severe wound, while his life blood was ebbing fast, rv*ed ata powder barrel and fired his pistol into. it before Lue fell. Fortunately the powder did not explode as tbe fire did not go through the wood. Another charged with a cimeter in one hand and a formidable curved blade, which he used as a dagzer, ia the other, right into our ranks twice, and fel! dead the secoud time, perforated with halls and bayonets. They were magnificently dressed, and it is sup- posed they were men of rank. .
