The Doxology was then sung, and the meeting disinissed with the accustomed benediction.

VVe regretted, that the wetness of the early part of the evening, and the state of the roads prevented many of the members of the Church from being present. but we were glad to perceive an increased desire to- wards advancing the interests ofthe Society and making its objects more generally known on the part of those who iittende .

On the whole from the interesting nature ofthe Report rcad,the increase ofthe Socie- ty’s funds during the past year and the deter- mination rniiuifested on the part of the

- steady members of the Church to make

giis Society, which is the native Church ociety of the Island, an instrument for good in the people generally, we augur

favourably for the coming year.

On the 18th inst., the Public Tea at St.

Eleanor's for raising funds to aid in the com-

letion of the Parsonage. was most numerous- l)yattended, and the expression of kindly feel- ing manifested by the various denominations in this locality was signiﬁcantly expressive of their desire to promote the personal comfort of the resident Clergyman.

It was a gratifying sight to witness so much unanimity as reviiiled which reminded us of the spirit whic should pervade Christian coni- iiiuiiities.

P. and the French to have little or none; and the

The tables were most liberally and sumptu- ously so plied through the indelati able ex- ertions o the Ladies, who spared ncit or labor nor e_xperise in making ample provision for the occasion.

There were several large iced cakes contri- buted by hidies who had not taken it part in the proceedings; these with some others were sold during the evening. and realized with the Tea, the handsome sum of £33 ls 9d, the largest amount we believe ever taken on ii. similar 00- casion at St, Eleanor's.

The meeting separated at an early hour, and if we mightjudge from the many smiling faces, we should say. that all were highly pleased with the treat alfordcd them.

The greatest praise is due to the Ladies for the liberal and tasteful manner with which they sup lied their tables with an abundance of goo things, and they must have been grateful in seeing so many happily brought together to

remote an object in which they are so deeply interested.

Camp before Scbastopol, ; IUIII Seplciulicr, I855. [ Dear Father;

I am happy to inform you, that Sebastopol is at last in the hands of the Allied Powers At 12 p in. on the 8th iiist.. the English a.ttii.el;ed tho Reilan Ilattery; the French, the .\Ialakholl', not expecting to take the 'I‘o\\'n, \\‘llt‘Il the Rus- sians saw our plan of attack, they drew a great number of their men out ol' the .\Ialakhotl‘ and sent them into the Redan, thus causing the English to have a. double force to contend with,

consequence was, the i\l:ilakliolI' was easily taken by the French, and tho Eiiglisli were twice repulsed from the Redzin. But, bctivuen II and I2 o'clock at night, Stli lllitilllt, we took it again, the Russian.-' seeing this. set to work to sink their ships, which they had I't‘i|liy pluggd for that purpose, they then set tire to the town which burnt for three days; their mines then began to explode, but luck ly for us they did not have the intended cll'cet, tor \‘cr_\ few ofour men were linrt by the freiiur-nt ex- plosions that took place. long after we took their two main Batteries and the town 2 after destroying all they could. they rcii-catcd to tilt‘ north side of the Ilar-hour, where they -still remain, and froni what we can see of their

movements, they intend to defend the north side, as they lia.vc done the south. Fort Cori- stantine wliic. coniinands the mouth of the llurbonr, is still in the hands of the enerny,, but will not be so long, for our llect is now? engaged against it. nml alriady shook its vcryl foundation, there is still a very strong force of the Russians hovering about our rear, but to- day the Iliglihind Brigade have received order- to hold themselves in readiness to rnnreli after them to either give them battle, or cut oil‘ their retreat. so by the time you receive this, I think the Crimcii will be all our own, Our loss in killed and wounded and missing is great, but not so much so, as might be expected, con- sidering the disadvantrige and superior numbers that we had to contend with; I cannot tell you the exact number that we 't\'t5 lost in this affair. for no body hero secure to l:noiv, though its reported, that the l*}n;;lis|r lost about three thousand ; if so, Scbastopol was dearly bought. We are likely to rernain here all winter, but not without winter quartcrs,as we were last winter, as \ve_hii.ve the town; the Rus-iuns will have to -do without winter quarters this winter, turn about is fair play. There are ii. great number of magniﬁcent buildings in the town, and though they have had a feiv of our shot and shell put through them, they can with it little troulilo be made good quarters of for the approaching winter. We were inspected yes- terday for that purpose, at least we think it's for that, but we are going to take up quarters in Sebastopol or follow the enemy, I cannot tell, for information regarding our movements is kept as secret as possible, in consequence of so many spies being about our camp. Several of our rcgirncats have already taken up quarters in the Town ofsebzistopol, and others are pre- paring to o in. our Slippers are repairing the

uildings tor our reception. I cannot describe to you the ruinous appearance that the town

resents.and the stench ofit, [can assure you,

is very disagreeable. C O I C I O O C I remain, your alfectionatc son J. BILLINOS. <1-O->—- —
