Notice to Travellers.

T has become an established fact that accidents will happen notwithstanding the cars and atten- tion which may be paid to the safety and convenience of travellers. Explosions will tslte place, bridges will be left open. and cars run olI'the track as usual. It is well enough for the public and legislators to caution companies to "heaters." and " take heed," at these casualties will occur. which re- suit in severe contusions, broken limbs, burns, bruises. &c. The Mexican Mustang Llnlment, U a such occasions, is invaluable !

ARRIVAL 0!’ THLEIGLISK HAIL.

SIEGE 0!-' SEBASTOPOL.

Slackcningof the Fire of the besieged,- bastopol a mass of Ruins.

A deepatch from Therepia states that the captain of a ship, which left the Crimea on the 25th, brings intelligence of the slackening of fire of the besieged. Their aim was uncertain, and ‘artillerymen were failin . '

The trenches had been carried to within 800 yards of the place.

A Russian deepatch announces that rein- forcements, under the command of General Dannenbsrg, are approaching Sebastopol.

he Russian corps in Poland are leaving the Austrian frontier.

The Ganges brings letters of the 24th from the Crimea.

The assault by land and sea was, it was expected, to take place on the 1st or 2d of November.

The Chasseurs of Vincennes killed all.

nrtillerymen that showed themselves at the embrasures.

Shells were poured in all night, leaving the enemy no possibility of repairing his disasters. _

The interior of Sebastopol was a mass of ruins (decombrei our decombrcs). Almost all the town was on fire, and the besieged had desisted from their clforts to extinguish the flames.

Deserters had announced that there were in the town 6,000 dead, and double that number of wounded.

Women and children are said to be lying unburied in the streets; everything is neglected in order to keep up the defence; all the guns ofthe Round Fort were said to be silenced except one.

The soldiers are said to be kept at their guns by‘ the awards of their ofiicers, and many have been shot for attempting to desert.

During the confusion a la e body of Poles quitted the town. The ussittn fleet sought shelter ofthe buildings alongside the quays. Batteries in new positions were to fire on the ships on the 25th with red hot balls. The losses of the allies, at that date (the 24th) were not very considerable.

The Rifles have been engaged in pick- ing off the Russian gunners, who are shot down in conidernble numbers. There are several volunteers also armed with rifles, who have joined in this part ofthe warfare

The Russians are constructing another line of works behind their present ones; they have plenty of guns and ammunition. The British effective infantry is now about 15,000, the French 36,000, the Turks, lI,000. The ttrtillcrymen are being much worn out by incessant toil. They are I‘) hours out ofthe 24 in trenches, instead of the usual 8. The loss of effective strength from sickness and wounds amounts, in the British force, to about 80 n-day.

The following deepatch is from Vienna:—

The Presce learns from an authentic source that the siege works were so for advanced, that on the lot of November the third parallel had been opened.’ It would be completed in eight or ten days, when the further decisive operations would begin .

It is not the intention ofthe allies to undertake anything against the northern side of Sebastopol.

From accounts received in Paris, it ap- pears that the loss sustained in the cavalry action before Bela Clava was less severe than was at first reported. Instead of 500 men, it is said that only I24 were killed and wounded. and the names of no officers are mentioned. -

Up to the 2nd of November, no general attack had been made upon Sebestopol.

From the News of the World, Nov. II.

Up to the present minute we can form no accurate conception either of the actual force of the Russians, or of the spirit with which they are animated. On these points our information is contradictory in the ex- treme. Deserters are said to represent the town as panic-stricken, the nrrison as mutinous, the carnage frightfu, and the defences half ruined. Other accounts de- pict the Russians as inspired by the most energetic resolution, as repairing the dam- age caused by our batteries with incredible celei-ity,‘ and as maintaining an equality of fire with a perseverance not to have been anticipated from a defeated and demoral- ized army. An eye-witness says, that he noticed the artillerymen in one of the Rus- sian batteries standing as boldly and as coolly to their uns us on the first day of the siege, and t at, though the fire of the

lace was thought to have rather elackened 5.. ' the Slat and 95d, the result might have n attributable either to the want of emuttitfon or the occupation of the gen- rison on some interior line of defences. It appears to us, moreover, that the bold attechuppou the Bale .Clave forts on the llfith, the renewal of the attempt in another quarter on the day followie , must needs be taken as evidence ofeeosideabfile

se eftheteeisged.

operations were, of course, obviously sug- gested by the advantages of numerical su- periority, end the plain requirements of the defence;but we hardly think they could have have undertaken them wit troops in that state of demoralization which succeeded the defeat on the Alma. The probsbility is, that the bulk of the Russian army now before us was not engaged with the allies on those fatal heights, and that our present antagonists have yet to feel their inferiority to the soldiers of the west. The strength of their force in the field is computed at something less than ,000 men, whereas fully that number were thought to have been brought against us on the 25th; but, as Sebastopol is open on the northern side, it is evident that the garrison and the re- lieving army may combine or distribute their battalions exactly as operations may seem to require. Nothing has been accom- plished by the enemy to materially disturb the pro ress of the siege. The course of events as told steadily in our favour. The French, whose misfortunes at the opening ' ofthe attack deprived us of such desirable assistance, repaired their batteries so energetically that they were ready for ac- tion sooner than was thought possible, and have since advanced most successfully in the operations of the siege. The approach- es are now within musket shot of the de- fences, and the Minie rifle will soon do its deadly work. Sebastopol could only be saved by decisive success on the part of the enem —by such a sortie from the town as woul destroy our batteries, or such an attack upon our position as might compel us to raise the siege.

Journal of the Siege of Sebastopol.

Ocr. I9.—In the night between the 18th and 19th the works were not disturbed. At about half-past ten, however, an alerle was made in Sebnstopol. A clarnour was audi- ble, end a brisk csnnonade in all directions. with platoon firing and cheering. In half an hour silence was restored, and the works were resumed. At half-past six in the morning the French artillery opens fire; the English does the same; the place replies. The firing is tremendous, notwithstanding a dense fog which clears about eight a. m. The firing then becomes more steady and precise. On 0llI' side it is kept up with equal chances, and towards the end ofthe day it has evidently an advantage over that ofthe place. By two o'clock, the tower of the central bastion was a heap of ruins. The embresures of the Most bastion (right hand) had suffered considerably. About three p. m', the firin on all sides slacltened. Our batteries suffered little, and were easily repaired during the night. _

Ocr. 20.-—-The cmbrasures of the Mast bastion could not be completely repaired during the night; at down, when the firing recommcnced, only two guns were service- able. A portion ofthis result is to be at- tributed to the smart firing of our sharp- shooters, which did not allow the artillery- men to serve their guns. The engineers push on their works to the right, before the Meat bastion. to the ravine which descends into Sebastopol, and separates us from the English. The proximity of the town and the nature of the ground, which is rocky, ren- der their labours difiicitlt and slow. They- work a la cape rolartle. From ten am. to one p.m., and from two p.m. to three p.m,, the enemy directs a brisk fire upon these works; two or three breaches are made by the artillery of the town on some of the weak poitits of the parallel. The artillery reopened its fire, and continued it during the day. The firin of battery No. 2, however (marines), was interrupted in the morning by the explosion of a powder magazine, which wounded no one, and did very little damage.

Oc'r. 2l.—In the night between the 20th and ‘2lst, the besieged made at sortie about two in the morning, with the intention of s iking the guns of the French batteries.

hey penetrated between batteries 3 and 4|, and had already ap roached some of the guns, when the artil erymen, seizing their arms, and seconded by the guard in the trenches, and cs cially by the first com- pan of the Volttgeurs of the 74th, drove bec the enemy with loss. Six Russians remained dead in the trenches, and four wounded—one an oflicer, sinee‘dead—were made prisoners. The rest of the night

eased over tranquillity. At six s.m. the General in-Chief visits the battery of the Genoese fort (No. 6. marine), and orders it to be suppressed. The French artillery recom uce its fire at six; the place replies, but not so vigorouel . Our batteries sc- quire a more marke superiority. Batteries No. 7 and 8 obtain good results. The engineers continue their works before the Meet bastion.

Ocr. 92.—The night is calm. The firing recommences at daybreak. The armament of the outwerke of the enemy is much re- duced, and the works much cut up _end dam . Recently constructed batteries ered evevedoathe back of the ravine

especially against the English. The artillery commences the erection of the ‘battery No. 9 and its powder magazine. Since two days, the enemy, who had displayed some battalions, a battery of artillery, and some Cossacks on the Chcrnaya, II no longer visible there. The general return of our losses since the commencement to this do is.-—Killed 4 oflicers and5~‘I men’ woundetr, 14 officers and 451 non-commissioned and rank and file.

Prom Wiltasr’s Eeropsaa Times, Nov. ll. _Still nothing decisive front the Crimea. The siege. of Sehsstopol continues, the carnage is tlesci-ilwl in all the accounts as being dreadful, arid the suflcrtngs of the people in that devoted city show the horrors of war in their most revolt- ing form. The Banshee is represent as having brought intelligence to Constantinople to the 30th, to the_elfect that the csnnonade was violent on both stiles, but without decisive efiect, although the damage done was great—coutrsdictione which, in the absence of more detailed and explicit infor- matron, we are left to reconcile as we may. In the meantime it may beatated generallythat our postal arrangements are execrable, and we are rown almost exclusively on the Russian dee- patches tor such scraps of intelligence as convey any idea of the progress of events before Sebasto- _ . The contrast in this respect between the activity of the Russians and the tardiness of our own Government is very marked. From Sebaelttpol to Odessa, the Russian versions of the progress of e siege are sent with regularity and precision, and transmitted thence to St. Petersburg with all imaginable ct-Ieritv, ramifying from the Russian capital all over Europe,' and indeed over the world, before our own more reliable accounts come to hand. We publish in our impression to- day scrsps of news collected from various sources respecting the struggle in the times, but any- thing in the shape ofa continuous narrative is out of the question, for some of Lord RagIxn's des- pstchee respecting the commencement of the siege are still wanting, and the letters of the representatives of the press in the Crimea have been equally unlucky in their whereabouts. Un- generous criticism on the conduct of the Govern- ment at this moment is certainly not desirable, although in some quarters it is freely indulged in ; but these repeated failures res ecting the transmission of news afford a handle or assailing the coalition ministry which ought not to have been given, irrespective the higher moral and national interests which are at stake. It has been proved that in eight, or at the most, in ten days, we could have the moat copious accounts from the Crimes, via Marseilles, and it is because the thing is practicable and is not done, that dissatis- faction is universally felt. The result is, that the accounts of the last four or five days of the siege not entirely on Russian authority. a state of things which is certainly not creditable to the sagacity and romptitude ofthe Western Powers. But enoug has transpired to show that the eventful moment for taking Sebaslopol cannot be distant, for Prince Menscikolf had asked for three hours‘ cessation of the firing in order to bury the dead in the city, areguest which was not com lied with, for the allies retorted that they be no dead of their own to bury—a very significantadmission of the state of things in the town and the fortress. Indeed, the demri tions of the frightful state of Sebastopol, whie this application to bury the dead seems to endorse, leave no doubt of its speedy subjugation, provid- ed the Ruseiaus are unable to raise the siege by attaching the allied powers in the rear—-an at- tempt w ich it is now clear was made on the 25th, by the troops under General Liprandi, and of which the Russian telegraph made the most, as we stated in our last. All the accounts concur in the fact that we sustained a slight reverse on that da in the vicinity of Baleklevs, to obtain the heig ts ofwhich, and to cut of the supplies which we receive by the road which connects that place with Sebastopol, was the object of the attack. But the success which the Russians obtained over the Turks and the liiglilnnders on the 25th, stationed at the pass which commands this point, was only temporary --a surprise which produced a moments panic on the rt of the Turks; for the fig t was renew on the following day, when the enemy was finally repulsed with great daughter. , The fighting in thjs afietr was desperate, and the French and English cavalry were en hand-to-hand with the enemy, but our lossonly amounted to 124 men. instead of the three regi- ments which Menschikofi"s depyiatcb represented as haviu been destroyed. henthe particu- lnrs of t iis brilliant action are published, the wi wear a ver difierent version to that whie the Car and is General have given to the world. But the failure of this attempt to raise the siege, in the only position where it could be made, I! tolerabl conclusive that the means to relieve Sehnsto are at an end, for the Russi- an eccounts, w ich extend to the 2d of the pre- sent month, are ver subdued in their colour- in . The sortie age net the lines of the English be are Sehasto I, so llantly repulsed b the troops under nera vans, when 000 ' sue were left on the field, sdords no proof of higher success, on the part of the enemy, in the front than in the rear of our army.
