of the ' work, which, however, our firm
settlement in the Malakofi‘ will speedily
causeto succumb together with the Re-
dan which our brave allies seized, at-
tacking it with their habitual vigor. but
there at Redan, as at the Red-an on the
side of Careening Bay, our allies were
compelled to cede the works again to the
powerful artillery and reserves of the en-
emy. At the sight of our eagles float-
ing over the Malalrofl", Genera l Desalles
made two attacks upon the central bas-
tion; these, however, did not succeed,
and the troops retired to the trenches.

From Admiral Brunt. C'r2'mect,
Sept. 9th. The assault llpolhllle Mala-
koff Tower‘ was made yesterday noon,
and later on the Great Redau and Col‘.-
tral Bastion. A gale from the nortli
kept the ships at anchor. The mortar
boats, to be enabled to fire, were obligi-il
to ,euter_Steletska Bay. They fired 600
"sliells against the Quarantine Bastion and
Fort Alexander. Six English mortar
boats also at ancliorinsteletska Bay fired
about the same number of shells. Last
_ night, v-ioleiit explosions and vast conflu-
"gra‘tions made us suppose that the Rus-
sians were evacuating the town. To-
day, we ascertained that the ]'i.llSSl2lll
vessels had been sunk. The bridge was
covered with ' troops retreatiiig to the

R USSIAN S T11 TEMENT.
The Russian paper, The Brussels
Nerd, says : ,
The resolution of Prince Gortschakoff
exhibits the energy of a-great comman-
der. It saves Russia from an inextrica-
blr: position into which a false interpre-
tation of ‘.1 point of liouor would have
thrust her. The Russian army, concen-
truted in North Sebastopol, will hence-
forth have that unity of movement and
action \VlllCll until now it. has wanted.
Sebastopol of the South is replaced by
Sebastopol of the Nortl1—-a formidable
position, bristlirig with innumerable guns
which a conipact army licncelorwtird
will defend. Impartial history will do
justice to G-ortscliakoll’, who, by niuking
a momentary sacrifice and avoiding a
useless effusion of blood, has preserved
for Russia an army trained to war by a
struggle of a year’s duration, and placed
that army in a position wliiell enables
him to conitnand the situation.
Scmlzfrzictrz Accourzts-—Gen. Marine.
ra writes that the Russians have with-
drawn from the town, after having set. it
on fire, blown up all public buildings and
works of defence and sunk their last
ships. The Snrdinians have lost-10 men
in the trenclies. ‘
R-itssicuz 1/lccozmts from Petersburg
give the following accounts from GrOl'tS-
ehakolf dated
Sebttsiopol, Sept. 8/./t, at rzoon.——The
enemy receives fresh reinforcements in-
cessantly. The bombardinent continues
very violent. 1
Ten P. M‘.-—-The garrison of Sebas-
topol, after sustaining an infernal fire
were repulsed to-day; although six as-
saults were made, they could not drive
the enemy from the bastion Kornilofi"---
Oiir brave troops, who resisted to the
last extremity, are now crossing over to
the nortlieru part of Sebastopol. The
enemy has‘ found nothing in the South-
ern part but the bloody ruins which his
attack has made. The _pas_sage of the
garrisoii from the Southern to the North-
ern side has been achieved with extraor-
dinary success and ourionly loss on that
occasion is about 100‘men killed. VVc
left in the Southern part only 500111611
gricvonsly wounded.
FRANCE.
An attempt has been made on the life
of Napoleon. A-man named Bellemarre
fired two pistols-at a carriage supposed
to contain the Emperor, but it held only
sortie of the ladies of the Em press. The
attempt. was made at the -door of the
Italian Opera. The assassin was arres-
ted. He was considered insane and sent
to the asylum.

The Committee appointed as Judges
on Cows and Heifers beg leave to report
that they have attended to the duties
of their appointment, and were highly
gratified with the numerous fine speci-
mens of hiiiriials, generally, which were
presented for inspection, and that we
only regret that the limited amount of
premiums fixed by the Society should
have preveiiu.-d us from awarding pre-
niiutus to quite a number of fine animals
which we deemed deserved premiums, 1-.
which the owners may have expected at
our hands. After a somewhat careful
examination of all the animals presented,

But" one bushel" fine -winter Apples
was exhibited (Baldwin), No. -609. The
2d premium was awarded to a bushel of
fair Greeuings in the absence of better
fruit. I '
In Pears the varieties were numerous
and of excellent quality, I-showing great
improvement and attention to this branch
of horticulture, and each of the Exhibi-
tors dserves just credit fortlieperfectioii

But one sample of pluuis was offered,
of fair variety. .
Of Grapes, No. 590 was entitled to
the premium beyond doubt, but the Coin-
inittee report‘ that no distinction was
made to the prizes -offered between
-Grapes grown in Grape Houses and in
the open air. As but one premium was
offered we award it to No. 590, grown
in :1 Grape House, but reconimend a
discretionary premium of $1 each to 331,
425, and 78. grown in the open air.
A small sample of Cranberries only
were offered, to which the Committee
reeouiincnd :1 dist.-retionary premium,
also to 27-3, for a mammoth Raspberries
of 50 cents.
The Committee on Peaclies, report :
That the quality of the Peaches ex-
hibited were generally very superior,
showing increased attention to this de- -
liglitful and healthful fruit. In award-
ing the 1st premium to No. 554, for the
best variety, they do it more on account
of variety, though the Peaches are of,
excellent quality. The 2d lie;-it variety
was 651. We also recommend to this
number‘ a ' special premium for the-‘
“stump of the world,” unquestionably‘
the finest Peach on exhibition. VVe also
recoinincnd discretionary preiniuiius of
$1 each to 87 and 510, both excellent
Peaches. . '

of unusual. interest. On Tllul‘Ffl5ty the trains
of Cattle m1il~thn IIOi‘Hc.‘l,'SWln6! and Poultry
were on exhibition. 'l‘hc: display of Citttlc ex-

ucriserl at any County or State Fair in this
Country or in Europe, and we have ‘visited it
few. '01’ Il0l‘S(?S_W8 never saw the exhibition
excelled at any County Fair in New England.
In Colts, the exhibition wasckccedingly fine.
lwilton uoiy ptapd§‘o_ut'as _f«ll,C,B8l1!l8'l' Town of
the County for Working Cattle, and we doubt
vvhetlim-.an'equal number of as fine cattle t-an
bc'fouut1~'ir'i any other tnwnin New England.
Wepitied the bewildered Committees who had
,to"siugle out and pass judgrnent upon those-
deemcd most superior in all points as worthy
lc,'i'_.f'.',[irerniums. We do not believe but that the
poorest pair on exhibitioirwoultl have taken I
a firstipremium at any ordinary Cattle Show.
/ 'Norwalk also did her -p_a,rt,uobly in the Cat-‘
:,tle.Trttin, while New Canaan brought up the
§1‘ei£r4.with‘mauy splendid animals, The Acorn-
lmittee on Working Oxen had it mostatlifiiciilt
?task to perform, audit is really a. iiiatt-er of
:surprise that so few errors were made in the
awards. The display of Swine was also very
lfine. -A pair of Suffolks‘ from Betllel, were
iverr fine svmeees. of -l.h°.L'i‘9'.¢°!li‘..{'$i°Rlr=**
.Hoyt of New Canaan, also h9._d-_- ,a. fine...-pai_r_ of
the same -brced._. Barnum had a pair of his
Priuce‘Al’bcrt' _breed_. but to our vision they:
look too much like exotics to be of value to
our farmers as stock Swine.
The show of Sheep was quite inferior to
what our County is capable of. Those from‘
-Norwalk Island attracted considerable atten-
tion. We believe, however, that their princi-
pal value consists in their extraordiirary fe-
cundity. ' *‘
' At 2 P. 11., Henry C. Vail, Esq., (not ~Pro-
jessor) gave an addressiu the Tent. To our
mind, it was of the greatest practical value,
of any delivered. . We regret that we were nu.-
able to listen to it throughout, yet we hear it
spoken of in the highest terms, by those who
were more fortunate. . In the evening, speak-
iug, singing, music, '&c., &c., filled up the
passing hours. _
Friday morning the Plowing Match came off.
and was contested with unusual spirit. At
2 P. M., Prof. Porter spoke for an hour, in the
tent. and was listciicrl to tlirougliout with at-
tentive interest.
Friday evening the tent was given up to the
young people, mid a sortilol Banquet, Prome-
nade Ball, &c., came off.
All in all,.the Fa-ir was in the highest degree
successful, and if errors have occurred, the
wonder is that they were not greater and more
in number.’ Tlielabors of the -week were most
dueroiis and exliaustiiig to the officersof the
Society. In our next we shall give it more
extended review.

Our readers li:i.vc doubtless read of l.his
new and truly wonderful discovery, which is
probably the grcztt-est invention in the Photo-
graphic art flint has yet been achicveil. It
consists in takiiig impressions upon 'gla.iis in-
stead of metallic plates, as in the dagucriean
art. By this int-ans the pictures areibrouglit

test of time, but even immersion in the stratig-
