fired a volley. Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, who has resumed the command of the Light Division, visited the camps of the several regi~ merits composing it to-day. He appeared to be in excellent health. Major-General Codrin ton returns to the command of his brigade. T ere has been a tolerably active fire kept up all day from various parts of the lines. The Russians on the right have chiefly directed their efforts against ,the Mamelon Vert. Scart-ely a shot has been thrown at the new works near the Quarry. There has been some heavy fire on the extreme left, near the see. and Fort Constantine has thrown shells at intervals over to the new French works by the Quarantine. The day has been ver hot, and is followed by a close evening. Severn

TUESDAY, Mth AUGUST next, at Eleven o’clock, at the Store of the Sub- changes in the disposition of troops have occurred. scriber, at MONTAGUE BRIDGE, an extensive Stock of

| The first division, Guards and Highlanders, have |moved from Balaklava, and are sncamped about ; a mile and a-half from the front before Sebastopol. ; The fourth French division, belonging to General

Boequet's corps d'armee, have moved down to ‘the plain, below the Vvoronzolf road, to join, it

is stated, in an expedition in the direction of l Mackenzie's Farm, against the Russian army of

]the north. A considerable proportion of the

French troops lately returned from Kertch have also joined the army in the plain. The Sardinians and Ottoman troops have extended their position in a direction towards the valley and village of Haidar. Many of the cannon shot thrown by the Russians durin e last few days have been recently cast. ‘he surface is quite free from rust, and bears marks of being finished by filling. It is suspected that a foundry has been established on the north side of Sebaetopol, and that the shot thrown by us into the town and fortifications are by its means turned to account against us. he calibre ofthe Russian guns is greater as compared with the calibre of our guns of relative ttize, so that we are unable to use the Russian shot, and they could use ours, only with considerable loss in power and accuracy on account of the wiudage. It is not improbable, therefore, that they have resorted to the practice of melting down and recaeting the iron obtained from our shot, and thus saved themselves the delay and difficulty of transporting others through the Crimea. About seven p.m. several of the men-of-war steamers were observed to be getting u steam. One steamer weritin very close towards the shore and mouth of the harbour at half-past eight o'clock ; and Fort Constantine, and several forts beyond, were seen to open fire against her. Fort Con- stantine threw shells from some mortars mounted on the roof; round shot were sent from the works beyond. The steamer did not make any re ly. Her object seemed to be simply one of observation.

June l7.—'I‘he bombardment opened at break of day. A rocket from one of the French batteries on the right of Ciirecning Bay was the signal, and was followed immediately by a heavy fire, which began at the right and soon extended along the lines as far as the left of the Greenhill attack. The French batteries beyond did not open a general fire. A few shells had been dis- charged from time to time previously along the whole line, and a little after midnight there was an active discharge of rockets from a small battery on the extreme left of our position, near the camp of the 9th Regiment, in advance of the third division. Two fires were noticed to spring up in the town, but they had been speedily extinguished. The fire which now opened was of tremendous power, and was carried on with the utmost ener y; every one seemed to agree that if cannon coul conquer the Russian fortifications, they were now doomed to destruction. The Selioghiosk redoubt-the “redouht blanche" as the French have called it, from its white srapete-had been

Tower works. The new battery made by our engineers above the Quarry, containing four: mortars and three long 3'.‘.’~pounders, was throwiu a. raking fireinto a battery, known as the MI! Battery, on the proper right (our left) 0‘ “IO Kornilofi‘Bastion and the ruin of the MalaltoC' Tower. The Russian batteries at first replied with energy, especially the batteries to the west of Careening Bay, and a mortar battery to t_|IO proper left of the Malrikolf ruin. The ballot!!! first mentioned are sometimes named by us i Marine Batteries, being near the Marine Suburb‘, and by the French as La Batterie de la. Pointy because it encloses the west point of Csreeninj Bay. The Garden Batteries on the left_ of the south harbour were also very active against Ill, and eiirprise was expressed, that arrangement: had not been made with the French works on tho- left for kee ing these in check. The wind blew from a non -easterly direction, and carried the smoke from the right along the batteries and across the ravine, in which it lodged like a thick mist towards the left. So dense was the cloud of smoke that the Greenliill attack was not visible 3 a spectator taking his osition on_ the right, excepting at rare iutervs s, when either a tern- poriiry slackening of the fire, or a freshening of the breeze, for a few minutes cleared the obstruc- tion away. Now and then this dense veil coils- pletely hid the whole line of batteries; and darting flames and thick curling volumes of While smoke alone pointed out the position of 30108 0‘ the uiis.

Seven a.m.—Tlie fire has continued to rage furiously. The Redan is nearly silent: one gun

opens from it occasionally. Four guns are still open in the works on the Malakolf Hill, two in the Koruilofi‘ Bastion, before the ruin of the tower, and two in the battery on the right (out left) ofit. The French have appeared to so severely in the redoubt on the Mamelon Vert: shells from the shipping, from the Marine batteries, and from some work which appears to be behind the Malakofi‘ Tower, have been con- stantly falling in and about the work. The battery in front of the Mamelon has, however, continued very active against the works in front of the Round Tower. The large line-of-battle ships remain silent. They are drawn up, two three-declters and two two-deckers, nearly in line, some distance out in the roadstead, and appear an ifintended to cover the Malakofl Hill with the fire of their guns. Several steamers are lying near them.

Ten, e.m.—Three rockets have just been fired by the French from the Victoria redoubt. They are generally, supposed to be a signal. but the ob'ectiequite unknown. The fire both on our si e and on that of the French has slacksnetl during the last half hour. The Russian batterieo are almost silent; one gun is fired from the Round. Tower about every ten minutes. The Redan hue not fired for nearly three quarters of an hour." The Mud Battery in the proper right of the Kornilolf Bastion is silenced; the artillerymet were compelled to quit their guns by the enfilading fire from the Quarry Battery. Still no fire of any conse uenee from the French batteries on tho left. The wind has become very changeable and high ; tis now blowing from due east. The sky, which for some time after sunrise was quito clear and bright, has become clouded.

Two p.m.—Tho fire has suddenly assumed redoubled ener The French have opened all their batteries on the left. The lines of batteries are enveloped in a shifting atiuoov phere of smoke, throu h which heavy peels of thunder are unceasing y rolling.) Some of the Russian batteries seem to have ecome imbued. with fresh vigour. The marine batteries, and some of the batteries on the west side of the south harbour, are maintaining an energetic fire.
