The utmost confidence is expressed by the highest authori- ties of success. The French are to storm the Malakofi Hill and works, with a total of 25,- 000 men ; the English, the Redan and Garden batteries, with 8000 troops. The following are reported to be the arrangements agreed upon between the allies.

Their loss is not known, but one or two messages have been managed to be sent. The regiments will not be able to quit, until darkness has arrived. Many bodies are still lying on the round near the Redan. Some of the wounded ave contrived to creep into our trenches; among others, an oili- cer who first fell wounded at the ditch of the Redan. tle held up a white pocket handker- chief, as a signal that ho surrendered himself, but the Russians standing on the parapet fired a volley, and again wounded him in the chest. The Russians must have suficrcil severely, for the shot and shell fell thickly in the Malakolf batteries and Rcilan, while the enemy crowded the works. About five a. in. some very heavy firing was heard on the extreme left, and itwas generally attributed to l)l'L).'l(_itllLll}S from our fleet. A hope was suddenly felt that they had forced their way through the sunken ships at ‘the iinuitli of the roadstcad. and would soon ‘ divert the fire from the Russian steamers, which

TAKING OF THE CEMITIRY, AND AN ENTRANCE lN'I'0_ SEIABTOPOI-_.

The brigade under Major-General Eyre, which was destined to occupy ihe Cemetery snd_to car- ry ihe Barrack Batteries, consistflg of the 9th regiment, l8th regifliem, 28th regiment, 38th regiment, and 44th regiment. Four’ volunteers from each company were selected to form an advanced party, under Major Fielden, of the 44th regiment, to feel ihe way and cover the advance. The 18th Royal Irish followed as the storming regiment. The brigade was turned out at twelve o'clock, and proceeded to march down the road on the left of ihe Green-hill Battery to the Ceme- iery, and halted under cover while the necessary dispositions were being made for the attack. General Eyre addressing the 18th, said “I hope my men, that this morning you will do something that will make every cabin in Ireland ring again !” The reply was aloud cheer, which instanily drew on the men a shower ofgrape. The skirmishers advanced just as the general attack began, and with some i-‘iench on their left, rushed in the Cemetery, which was very feebly defended. They gm possession of the place after a slight resistance, with small less, and took some priso- ners, but the mlllllrrnl the enemy retreated, their batteries opened a heavy fire on ihe place‘ from the left of the Rrilan and l'rom the Barrack Battery.

Four companies ofthe 18th at once rushed on out of the Cemetery towards the town, and actually succeeded in getting possession of the suburb. Captain llayinan was gallanily leading on his cunipany, when he was shot through the knee. Captain l‘iSIlI0i'lll0 followed, and the men once establisliecl, prepared to defend the houses lhey'occnpie<l. As they drove the Russians out ihcy were pelted with large stones by the latter on their way up in the button‘, which quite over- hangs the suburb. The Ru'ssi:ms could not depress their guns sulliclcnlly to fire down on our men, but they tlllt,‘Clt'll a severe flanking fire on them from an angle of the Redan works. There was ll(lllllll'__' for it but to keep up a vigo- rous fire from the houses, and to delude the enemy into the belief that the occupiers were more numerous than they were.

Two great mistakes appear to have influenced the whole of this attack. The first was in permit- ting the enemy b the early sortie to divert us from the origina plan ofthc undertaking: the second an over-confidence in our own strength and resources as com arcd with those of the enemy. Had the hem ardment from the bat- teries taken place, the enemy would probably have supposed it would continue all day, and withdrawn a great part of his troops, for their security, from the neighbourhood of the works.

The sailors, if employed in the undertaking. might perhaps have been more useful otherwise than in crii-i'yiii;_v the lad- ders. With their comrades falling about them, and under the excitement of getting at the one- my, the ladders were not carried to the lace intended. A rumour has gained ground, t int 9. dc-scrter from our ranks had made the Russians acquainted with the intended attack, and that it was a ruse to anticipate it by a soi-tie. It is not necessary to resort to such an explanation. The Russians had a flag flying within the Mala- koff works all the time of the en g‘e.ment.

Some of the houses were comfortably furnished, One of them was as well fitted up as most Eng- lish mansions. the rooms full of fine furniture, a piano in the drawing-iooin, and articles ofluxury and taste not deficient. Our men unfortunately found that the cellars were not empty, and that there was ahnndtince of fine muscal wine from the south of the Crimes, and of the stronger wines perfumed with roses and mixed with fruits, which are grown in the interior, in the better houses.

Some oftlie officers, when they went away, carried of!‘ articles of clothing and papers as proofs of the entrance into the place, and some others took away pigeons and guinea-pigs, which were tame in the huiises.

In ihe middle of ihe day, Captain Eomonde wrote to Geiicr.-il Eyre to say that he required support, ihal the men were short of ammunition, ‘and that the rifles were clogged. The rifles, which were of the Enfield pattern, had been only ‘served to the regiment the day before, and again it was found that these admirable weapons are open to the grave defect which has been so frequently mentioned, and that they are liable to become useless after tiring twenty rounds, A seiycant volunteered In creep back with this letter, but, when he iv-acliod the place where the general ought to have been, he found that the latter had been obliged to witlidraw owing to his wound; and he iheiefoie delivered the documents _tu Colonel Edwards. As there was no possibility of getting: support down to the troops,_ Colonel Edwards crept down along with the Iel']OI_l|l Ind into the houses to see how matters were going on.
