About an hour after inidiiiglit,

however, the eiieiny forestallcd all this by

blowing up their iiiagazine, and abandon-

ing the redotibt. Such, it is presumed, was

the fact, though it is not improbable, that

the e.vplosioii may have been caused by one

ofour own isliclls. Be this as it may, the

result was the same; and on at party ofour men being soon after sent out to reconnoitre,

it was discovered that the Russians had

given tip the game. Our troops were ac- cordingly iiiarclied iii, and the first grey

streaks of daylight saw the British ensign

waving over a surrender which had iilready

been it prize. Long before darkness had set in on the previous evening, the Frencli

had swept the chain of works on the proper left of the Malakliotf; and thus the whole line, from the Quarantine Fort to the iiioutii oftlie'I‘cheriia_vn, was in the hands ofthe Allies—the Russian batteries opposed to the French Left having been simultaiicous- ly evacuated. Dawn showed the lust strag- glers of the retiring enemy hurrying over the bridge of boats, which was promptly destroyed when they had crossed; and as the entire sliipping—-one frigate and a couple ofsmtill steamers alone excepted— had been sunk during the night, the sun rose upon as desolate a scene as if Sebas- topol had never been inhabited, nor its splendid harbour covered with ships of war. Even before the blow-up of ilio Redan, several mines had been fired by the enemy along and within their line of works, and during the night they consummated the sacrifice oftlieir stronghold b_v blowing tip Fort Paul and firing nearly all the principal buildings which had not already been in flames. And thus ended the attack and capture of Sebastepol.

By early daylight, as soon as it was evi- dent that the enemy had indeed cleared out ofthe town, the French crowded in, like crews to a carrion, to gorge their pliiiider- ing appetites with what spoil had been left behind. As on the whole of the previous day during the progress of the attack, double lines ofcavalry sentries were posted along the whole front of our camp; and through this impassable barrier no one not on duty, or not belonging to the Otnnlpnlvtit staff‘, was allowed to go. About noon, however, armed with a pass, coiirteously given me by General Simpson, I crossed the line, and proceeded down to the scene of the preceding day's carnage. By the time I reached the fatal opening in front of our fifth parallel, however, the dead had been gathered off‘ the ground--the officers havin been taken to the camp, and the merit rown into the deep and broad ditch ofthe Redan. Ariil there was a sight liar- rowing enough to effect nerves of iron and a heart ofatone: iled up, row upon row, lay the bodies of the brave fellows whose blood had gained our triumph, nearly filling the huge dike—a ghastly and mangled mul- titude. Those who had died within the Re- dan had also been gathered into the ditch; so that I looked upon nearly all the British who had fallen in thialaat scene of an eleven months’ tragedy. The first fact which struck an observer was, that nearly all who

Seeing Frenchmen hurrying to the scene of this tragi-comedy from all points, I deemed it best. for my eountryman’s own sake, to prevent his administering a chastiseinent which, however amply deserved, might have endangered the safety ofthe bestower, and so liberated the frightened impudent, and endeavoured to calm down the wrath
